Chapter 65 A serious man is the most handsome!

In a corner of the presidential suite's living room, only a delicate floor lamp was lit...

The dim, warm light outlined Zhang Han's focused profile.

On the coffee table in front of him, the tablet screen was lit, displaying complex stock K-line charts and dense data indicators.

Beside it lay an open leather notebook. On it, key points and calculations were recorded in fluent handwriting, along with a few simple trend analysis charts drawn by hand.

Zhang Han was completely immersed in the ocean of financial data.

The "Junior Financial Trader Skill Book" gave him more than just knowledge; it bestowed upon him an analytical instinct and market sense that ran deep into his marrow.

He was no longer satisfied with simply identifying a few potential stocks; he had begun trying to build more complex analysis models...

Combining technical indicators, fundamental information, market sentiment, and even some macroeconomic policy trends to conduct comprehensive assessments.

He frowned slightly, his right hand unconsciously twirling an expensive custom fountain pen. His left hand swiped and tapped quickly on the tablet, pulling up charts from different time periods for comparison.

His eyes were sharp and focused. Flickering numbers and curves were reflected in his pupils, as if the entire world were condensed into that small screen.

Occasionally, he would pause, leaning his body back slightly. Long, slender fingers pressed against his well-defined jawline, falling into brief contemplation.

His tightly pressed thin lips and high nose bridge cast deep shadows under the light, forming a highly attractive picture.

His posture was not stiff; he even sank somewhat lazily into the soft sofa. Yet his back was naturally straight. His shoulder and neck lines were smooth and powerful, exuding an introverted confidence and sense of control.

When he leaned forward toward the screen to carefully examine a detail, his shirt cuffs were rolled up, revealing a section of sturdy forearm and a wrist with distinct bones, his fingers long and clean.

When operating the stylus or writing on paper, his movements were precise and rhythmic, carrying an indescribable sexual tension.

At this moment, Zhang Han had shed his usual playfulness and the extravagance of throwing money around, revealing a completely different kind of charm—that of a wise man and a controller.

That focused, undistracted seriousness seemed to carry its own magnetic field, making people involuntarily drawn to him.

Ruan Ruan walked out of the room on tiptoes after ending her stream and saw exactly this scene.

She had just bathed, and a faint fragrance wafted from her body. She was wearing a black "stepmother dress" that extremely accentuated her figure.

This dress looked dignified and elegant from the front, wrapped up tightly. But the back held a hidden mystery: a deep V-cut cutout design reaching down to the waistline, connected only by sheer tulle of the same color, revealing her smooth, beautiful back and alluring waist dimples in a teasing way, the height of temptation.

She had originally wanted to surprise Zhang Han and was even prepared to be "dealt with on the spot" by him.

However, when she saw Zhang Han's focused expression, completely immersed in his thoughts, her footsteps as she prepared to pounce stopped instantly.

She leaned against the doorframe, watching the man under the light who seemed to be glowing, her heart pounding uncontrollably. Her cheeks flushed, and her eyes were filled with infatuation and admiration.

"A serious man... is really so handsome..." Ruan Ruan screamed silently in her heart.

She carefully took out her phone, switched it to silent mode, and aimed it at Zhang Han's profile. "Click" — "Click"! She secretly took several photos.

Each one looked like a carefully composed art photograph, capturing his slightly furrowed brows while in thought, his sharp eyes while analyzing data, and the corners of his lips and jawline that appeared exceptionally sexy under the light.

Seeing that Zhang Han hadn't noticed her at all and remained immersed in his financial world, Ruan Ruan felt a little disappointed, but also felt that Brother Hanzhu was even more charming this way.

As expected, wealth didn't just come to Brother Hanzhu for no reason. When he worked, he was extremely serious; to earn that money, he also put in enough effort and hard work.

She was very sensible and didn't go up to disturb him. Instead, she slipped back into the bedroom and lay down on the large, soft bed.

Since she was idle anyway, she picked up her phone and added her best friend "Tangtang" and the senior "Manager Lin Xue", who had previously agreed to help her, into a WeChat group.

She jokingly changed the group name to "Emperor Zhu Studio Preparatory Office (Future Edition)".

"Ruan Mianmian: (Shares image)"

The image was a side profile photo of Zhang Han that Ruan Ruan had just secretly taken. She had cleverly cropped out his full face and most highly recognizable features, highlighting only his smooth jawline, tightly pressed thin lips, long fingers holding the fountain pen, and the sturdy chest and broad shoulders faintly visible under his shirt.

The lighting and composition of the photo were extremely atmospheric, full of an ascetic yet seductive charm.

Who the hell could resist this!

"Tangtang (Best friend): !!! Holy crap! Is this Emperor Zhu?"

"Tangtang: I'm about to faint just looking at the chin and hands! This temperament! This figure! Ruan Ruan, you've hit the jackpot!"

"Tangtang: These hands! I could play with them for a year! They are so fair; are these anime hands? Even I, someone who isn't into hands, am actually attracted to a grown man's hands!"

"Tangtang: Wow! And these collarbones, ahhh! I want to slide down them!"

"Tangtang: Sister! Details! I want details! Is Emperor Zhu a hundred times more handsome in person than in the photo?!"

"Manager Lin Xue: ... (Shocked.jpg)"

"Manager Lin Xue: Although I can't see his full face, this aura... I feel like I can sense the pressure even through the screen."

"Manager Lin Xue: Ruan Ruan, you really... must have saved the galaxy in your past life to meet such a top-tier big shot in terms of looks, temperament, and financial power."

Looking at the instant flood of exclamations and envy in the group, Ruan Ruan's vanity was greatly satisfied. The corners of her mouth were almost stretching to her ears.

She hugged her phone and rolled on the bed, her pair of snow-white, crystal-clear, dainty little feet kicking several times in mid-air. She was both shy and excited.

Then, she replied slowly, very reservedly.

"Ruan Mianmian: Oh, it's alright~ (Shy.jpg) Brother Hanzhu is quite handsome~"

"Ruan Mianmian: But let me tell you, tonight's stream was so interesting!"

"Ruan Mianmian: At first, no one dared to PK with me. Later, Brother Hanzhu said he wouldn't interfere and it would be all up to the fans, and that's when it got fun..."

Ruan Ruan excitedly shared the interesting events and gains from tonight's stream. For example, which streamer's punishment was hilarious, which fan supported her the most, and so on.

But Tangtang was clearly not interested in "serious business".

"Tangtang: What's there to say about the stream! Sister! The main point! Private life! How far have you and Emperor Zhu progressed?"

"Tangtang: Such a top-tier man, is he also particularly... good in that department? (Smirk.jpg)"

"Tangtang: How many times a night? How long does it last? Hurry up and tell me! Don't play dead!"

Ruan Ruan's face instantly turned bright red, like a cooked shrimp.

"Ruan Mianmian: Tangtang, are you trying to kill me! Asking these kinds of questions! (Crazy.jpg)"

"Ruan Mianmian: We... we just have a very normal relationship!"

"Ruan Mianmian: (Cough, trying to change the subject) Oh right, Sister Xue, do you remember? Brother Hanzhu said he could help me open a company! I was just about to discuss with you how to do it! You know, the one that was basically finalized last time?"

Manager Lin Xue was naturally attracted by this topic.

"Manager Lin Xue: Of course I remember. Such important information, I wouldn't forget it even if I turned to ash..."

"Manager Lin Xue: Ruan Ruan, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! We must plan it properly!"

"Manager Lin Xue: Do you think we should just do a live streaming guild, or develop into short videos and e-commerce as well?"

"Manager Lin Xue: Do you have any initial ideas about team building, content positioning, and so on?"

Seeing this, Tangtang immediately cut in again.

"Tangtang: Wait! Opening a company?! Ruan Ruan, you are going to be a boss?!"

"Tangtang: Sister! Help me! My lousy company has been doing terribly lately, and the boss makes empty promises every day. I really want to jump ship!"

"Tangtang: Take me with you! Let me fly with you! I'll work like a horse and ox for you!"

"Tangtang: From now on, you are Boss Ruan! I'll be your personal little secretary! Serving tea, pouring water, warming the bed..."

"Tangtang: ... Ah, no, I mean handling official business, I'm good at everything!"

Ruan Ruan was amused by Tangtang, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Ruan Mianmian: Tangtang, stop messing around! Sister Xue is talking about serious business!"

"Ruan Mianmian: However... if Brother Hanzhu agrees, and you can come help me, I would naturally be begging for it!"

"Ruan Mianmian: But in the end, Brother Hanzhu has to make the final decision. I have to ask him before I can decide."

The three women chattered in the group. From gossip and teasing to future planning, they chatted enthusiastically, filled with longing for the future and the playful banter between sisters.

At this moment, Manager Lin Xue suddenly called Ruan Ruan on her private phone.

Ruan Ruan answered the phone, walked to the balcony, and said softly, "Hello, Sister Xue?"

Manager Lin Xue's mature and rational voice came from the other end of the line. "Ruan Ruan, am I disturbing you? There were some things that weren't convenient to say in the group just now."

"It's fine, Sister Xue, go ahead."

"Ruan Ruan," Manager Lin Xue's tone became serious. "I've been around, and I've seen a lot in this circle."

"A man like Emperor Zhu—young, handsome, and with unfathomable wealth—is destined to never lack temptation around him."

"And it is definitely not something any one woman can completely hold onto."

Ruan Ruan's heart sank slightly, and the smile on her face faded a little. She gave a soft "Mm."

Manager Lin Xue continued, "So, you must position yourself correctly."

"Everything you have now is given to you by Emperor Zhu."

"What you need to do is be a 'canary' that satisfies him, puts him at ease, and makes him happy."

"If other women appear by his side in the future, as long as it doesn't affect your status and interests, you must learn to accept it."

"Even... learn how to get along with them."

Ruan Ruan was silent for a few seconds, her voice a bit low, carrying a hint of imperceptible bitterness. "Sister Xue... I understand."

"Actually... I had thought that this day would come sooner or later. Brother Hanzhu... he is too outstanding."

She paused, her tone becoming firm yet carrying a bit of grievance. "But... I have truly fallen in love with Brother Hanzhu, not because of his money."

"So, if... if that day really comes, I will definitely be jealous, and I will definitely feel very hurt inside."

"But I also know that for a girl like me, being able to have Brother Hanzhu's favor for even a moment is already very lucky."

"I... I don't deserve to have him all to myself."

Her voice gradually carried a hint of choking, yet she tried hard to stay clear-headed. "I will work hard to improve myself and become better, whether it's in my streaming career or other aspects."

"I hope... at least in his heart, I can have a position that others cannot easily replace."

Manager Lin Xue on the other end of the line listened and nodded with satisfaction. "Ruan Ruan, if you can think like this, that's correct."

"This proves you are a smart girl. Remember, in this circle, feelings are the least reliable thing."

"Interests and value are eternal. As long as you can always provide emotional value and maintain your attractiveness, Emperor Zhu will not easily abandon you. I believe in you."

Ending the call, Ruan Ruan leaned on the balcony railing, looking at the brilliant night view outside the window, her mood complex.

There was both longing for the future and worry about the unknown. But more than that, it was a deep attachment to the man who was working seriously in the living room at this moment.

She knew that if she wanted to stay by Brother Hanzhu's side for a long time, she had to grow up quickly.
