In the afternoon, when the driver came to pick her up, Ruan Jianglin was not there.
I heard him making a phone call yesterday, and it seems like he has an appointment with Ye Chen and others today.
The driver was still the same one who came to pick her up last time. He got out of the car and opened the door for her: "Miss Jiang, please."
She got on the bus, the air conditioning was a bit low, and she coughed softly twice.
The driver heard this and raised the air conditioning a bit higher.
"Has Mr. Lu been working alongside Ruan Jiang for a few years now?" she asked.
She remembered last time Tang Man called him "Lu Shu", just a memory, remembering that his surname was Lu.
The driver replied politely: "Not long, just a year."
A year isnt short, thought Jiangyan.
"Mr. Na Lu remembers to remind him to give you a raise."
"That depends on Miss Jiangs eloquence."
Jiang Yan smiled politely and stopped talking.
She thought that this driver would also be replaced soon.
Judging from Ruan Jianglins temperament, he should be a man who doesnt like to talk much, while this Mr. Lu always speaks with flattery.
It was the same with her, but the contempt in his eyes was always revealing.
The car headed towards the edge of the city and drove onto the northern citys highway.

Ruan Jianglin was in a bad mood in the afternoon and lost miserably. Mo Zibai laughed at him, asking if he wasnt paying attention.
Mo Zi Bais words fell, and Ye Chen immediately spoke up: "Isnt it because youre not paying attention? The one with the good hand that Wang was talking about isnt here."
Mo Zi Bo suddenly joked: "Oh, this reminds me, why didnt Jiang sister come to keep us company today?"
The two of them seemed to be intentionally singing a duet, just to annoy Ruan Jianglin.
The man carelessly touched his cards and casually played one out, but his mind was not on the cards at all: "How come, cant win without her?"
The ball had just been hit out when Mo Zibei received it and scored another point with a clear shot.
Mo Zi Bai pretended to be helpless and shook his head: "You see, its not that Jiang Mei Mei is not here, you dont even know how to play cards."
He said this on purpose to tease him, and Ruan Jianglin directly pushed away the cards in front of him.
It fell on the table with a loud clang, making an unusually big noise.
"Are you two sick today?" His eyes showed impatience.
Ye Chen and Mo Zibai looked at him, exchanged a smile, and decided to stop teasing him.
Gamblers always hope to recoup their losses when they have lost everything, so even if they are in debt, they still continue to gamble until they lose everything, including their underwear.
Ke Ruanjiang is different from others, he has always been good at planning and knows when to stop in time.
Continue today, purely spending money to have fun.
Nowadays, after Ye Qianchen and Mo Zibais dual microphones, even spending money cant find Lezi.
The ashtray beside him was almost full, his nicotine addiction was severe today, probably because he was feeling anxious.
Mo Zi Bai walked away and still didnt fear death, continuing to pester Ruan Jiang Lin: "I hope next time you can bring your wealth-attracting treasure."
Today, Ruan Jianglin is like a prodigal son, throwing money around without any technical content.
Ruan Jianglin was about to kick him in the back, but Mo Zibai seemed to have anticipated it and took a few quick steps forward, narrowly avoiding the kick.
"It seems that tonight only I, this lonely person, can accompany you for dinner." Ye Chen sighed as he stood beside him.
Its just dusk, and todays sunset makes people feel lazy, sprinkling on the ground, but theres some inexplicable sultry heat.
Ye Chen settled the bill inside and when he came out, he saw Ruan Jianglin standing in front of the stairs smoking.
He probably found Yu Guangs light too dazzling, so he narrowed his eyes, revealing his displeasure.
Ye Chen walked over and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
"Whats wrong with doing what you like?"
Ye Chens so-called liking was just Ruan Jianglins temporary enthusiasm, barely counted as a good impression.
He took a drag on his cigarette, slowly exhaled, and the smoke rings floated out one by one.
"Cant I be a good man for once?" he said.
He probably has enough self-awareness and his liking for Jiang Yan will definitely not last long.
Its rare for him to be so kind-hearted, but he ended up harming a young girl instead.
Ye Chen seemed to have heard a huge joke, and his laughter was extremely loud.
"Ruan Jianglin, are you a dog? So arrogant, yet pretending to be a good person, dont you have any shame?"
Ye Chen has grown up with him since childhood, and its rare to catch an opportunity to tease him. Usually, he is always teasing himself, who made him born with a master-like appearance.
As soon as the words fell, Ruan Jianglin kicked him and was dodged by Ye Chen. Ruan Jianglin took Ye Chens car key.
Its quite heavy after flipping it over in my hand a couple of times.
As it happened, a parking attendant was passing by, and Ruan Jiang hastily called out to him: "Hey, the one up ahead."
The parking attendant turned around and pointed at himself uncertainly.
"Ah, yes, I was calling you, come here."
The parking attendant has been here for a long time and often sees Ruan Jianglin and his entourage, who are either wealthy or noble. He doesnt dare offend any of them, so he rushes over.
As he walked closer, Ruan Jiang casually tossed the car key into his arms and said with a smirk: "Ill send you off."
The young parking attendant was stunned, probably because wealth came too quickly. This car is enough for him to eat for a lifetime without sleep or rest, and maybe even for the next life.
People say that locals here give big tips, he just arrived here.
Never thought it would be so many.
Ye Chen hastily spoke up, but was interrupted by Ruan Jianglin: "Im sending you off and you dont even want it?"
"Want it! Want it!" Probably afraid that Ruan Jianglin would change his mind at the last minute, he hastily agreed.
"Get out quickly." He had a smiling face.
The little brother who was parking the car listened and then quickly ran off, disappearing in no time.
Ye Chen didnt even have time to stop him, his face turned iron green, and he gritted his teeth at Ruan Jianglin, who was now in high spirits: "Ruan Jianglin, youre just a grandson."
Thats Ye Chens luxury car that he just got today, and he even had someone modify the functions. Just the sound system alone cost a price that an ordinary person couldnt afford even if they worked for twenty years.
Ruan Jianglin just handed over this son like that.
"Your father is giving you a chance to be a good person, arent you satisfied?" Ruan Jianglin said with a smile of satisfaction on his face.
The unpleasant mood of losing at cards for an entire afternoon vanished instantly.
Losing at cards is a small matter, the main thing is that those two people today seemed to be intentionally going against him, constantly mentioning Jiang Yan in front of him.
He must be suspicious, wondering if Jiang Yan had found someone else, afraid that he would forget her in an instant.
Ye Chen pointed at him, then put down his hand, so angry that he couldnt speak.
He forgot that Ruan Jianglin was a petty person who would retaliate for every slight.
Looks like a gentleman, but actually is a hypocrite with narrow-mindedness.
The ancients once said, "Only women and petty men are difficult to raise," this saying is indeed true.
Ruan Jiang lost at cards this afternoon and now he has to pay up with a car.
This bill, no matter how you calculate it, Ye Chen loses, and he loses miserably.
