Chapter 669: Just in Time

Theoretically speaking, it is a very normal phenomenon for company leaders to go on business trips.

Not to mention when they actually have business to attend to.

Even if they went out for leisure when there was nothing to do, it wouldn't be a big deal, but President Ran Hongchun, following Zheng Qian's reminder, paid closer attention to matters related to Century Ranxing The Group.

Documents, proposals, reports, work reviews... and so on, all had no issues.

Even the financial applications, accounts, and the like were all perfectly normal.

So normal that it seemed quite abnormal.

Let's put it this way: even Ran Feng Real Estate, which has a good relationship with Zheng Qian, often cooks the books financially.

In fact, this is very normal. After all, the company belongs to their own family; isn't it common to find ways to siphon some money out?

However, Century Ranxing, which is managed by Ran Ruqiu, is not like that.

It is simply the epitome of integrity; she only takes The Group's dividends, salary, and bonuses every year—neither more nor less—which instead attracted President Ran Hongchun's attention.

Coupled with the fact that Ran Ruqiu just mentioned a business trip... she won't be at the company for the next few days...

She seems to always have some rather unusual trips.

Ran Huaqin glared fiercely at Ran Ruqiu and gritted her teeth, saying, "This little bitch, she's just from the third branch, what's there to be so arrogant about? Relying on the ancestors' favor, does she really think she can inherit the throne in the future? President Ran Hongchun, can't you and your wife, Ran Hongyue, try a little harder? You are from the second branch! How come you don't even have a child?"

Regarding this point, President Ran Hongchun also had unspeakable hardships.

Not to mention whether she is over 240 pounds, just the fact that he only gets five yuan in pocket money every month kills any thought of making a baby.

It is simply terrifying; that figure, that physique, is too oppressive.

And if he hasn't guessed wrong, she is probably currently engaged in a "connection of love" with her male pet.

However, President Ran Hongchun is different now.

Zheng Qian opened an account for him at Qianlu Bank with five million US dollars in it.

He is also a rich man now!

"The second branch doesn't just have us; there is also President Ran Tinglan, who isn't even married. Let's not talk about that for now; gossiping behind people's backs is never good. Besides, Ran Ruqiu is right—if Pengpeng hadn't taken the initiative to provoke Jin Lu, how could it have ended up like this?"

"Fortunately, he is still barely hanging on, and the doctors are still quite optimistic about his recovery."

"Discipline him more in the future. I have to go now."

After President Ran Hongchun said a few polite words, he hurried away.

Back in the car, his first task was to send a message to Chou Hua to report his suspicions about Ran Ruqiu.

As mentioned earlier, Zheng Qian divided the [Qianlu Security Team] into four groups: Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon.

The captain of each group is prefixed with the character "Chou," and their given names are Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon respectively.

Among them, "Chou Feng" is the leader of the close-combat group. "Chou Hua" is the leader of the intelligence group.

The intelligence group is not only responsible for consolidating information but also serves as hackers, public opinion managers, and more. Strictly speaking, it is a combination of PR and the Network Information United Front Department.

After receiving the message, Chou Hua only replied with a "Good."

President Ran Hongchun lit a cigarette, looked at the gradually deepening night, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"I finally have money. Today is the 39th birthday of my first love, Xiao Qi. It's time to give her a proper gift."

...

Ran Ruqiu returned to Shang Yanxiong's secret villa.

She knew that he was in a very bad mood today.

She didn't even expect that Zheng Qian could go to such lengths.

Laying out plans for the shipping market so far in advance, and after being rejected domestically, he immediately transferred almost all merchant ships overseas, seemingly not caring about the domestic market at all.

It was as if he had long anticipated that these ships of Shang Yanxiong's would eventually have to leave.

She suddenly realized that she also couldn't quite see through Zheng Qian.

However... now is not the time to think about these things.

She very sensibly arrived early to wait in the cage.

A few hours later, Shang Yanxiong finally arrived late.

He had dinner with his sister and chatted for a while; only after Shang Rongyan fell asleep did he set off to come here.

Looking at the slightly trembling Ran Ruqiu in the cage, his eyes were full of coldness, eeriness, and repression, with a hint of murderous intent.

"Come over and kneel properly."

He sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette.

Ran Ruqiu crawled on her knees all the way to in front of Shang Yanxiong, prostrated herself on the ground, and said almost devoutly, "Mr. Shang."

"Don't call me Mr. Shang today. Do you know what to call me?"

Shang Yanxiong grabbed Ran Ruqiu's hair, completely disregarding her pain, pulled her in front of him, and said ferociously.

"Husband..."

Shang Yanxiong smiled with satisfaction.

Because she knew that compared to what she was about to face, this kind of pain was simply too easy.

Not to mention how Shang Yanxiong took his anger toward Zheng Qian out on Ran Ruqiu, venting it wantonly.

What was our Zheng Qian doing?

The ancients once wrote in a poem: You must never let your woman feel lonely.

Previously, in order not to disturb Yin Yanyan while she was working hard or affect her filming progress, he had never gone to have a deeper connection with her.

Coupled with the fact that he was too young some time ago and hadn't figured some things out, he missed two opportunities for connection.

But today is different; he is no longer young, he has grown up.

So, he came.

This is a villa he bought separately for Yin Yanyan, and he had left a key for himself in advance.

After parking the car, he entered the building directly from the second basement level.

He glanced at the yoga ball, fitness ring, etc., in the underground fitness space and nodded with satisfaction.

It seems Yin Yanyan has been exercising quite a bit lately.

That was a secret manual he spent an astronomical sum to buy from the Mysterious Shop.

He calculated on his fingers; her period should have just ended yesterday at 12:08 PM.

Today, it can be said, is just in time.
