Out of control and sinking

The next morning, Jiang Ruan got up very early.

Because Lu Jie had to go to work, she asked the maid to prepare breakfast in advance so that they could eat together before she was taken to work.

This was Lu Jie's first time visiting her and Bo Ye's villa. When she came out of her room, she was stunned by the luxurious living room.

"My goodness, your villa is so big?"

"This must be several hundred square meters, right?"

Looking up, I saw a spiral staircase, probably five or six stories high.

Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "Not only that, but if you include the garden outside, it should be close to two thousand square meters."

Lu Jie: "..."

Lu Jie: "..."

"Holy crap, two thousand square meters!" Lu Jie was completely dumbfounded: "No wonder it's President Bo's villa with you, it's good to be rich."

Lu Jie complained, "Our entire hospital doesn't even add up to 2,000 square meters."

"Can you manage to clean such a big house?"

Just then, a row of servants came out carrying trays.

A dozen or so maids, dressed in maid uniforms.

Neatly.

They placed various breakfast items on the table and then said in unison, "Please have your meal."

Then they went down.

Lu Jie: "..."

Suddenly, I felt like I was living on TV.

"Jiang Ruan, how many nannies do you have?" Lu Jie couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Ruan thought for a moment: "I think there are more than thirty."

"Can not remember."

Lu Jie: "..."

More than thirty nannies?

It really felt like the life of a king and queen in a fairy tale.

“Bo Ye arranged for them to be recruited.” Jiang Ruan pulled her along, “Don’t just stand there like an idiot, come and eat first.”

"Fried dough sticks, tofu pudding, the same things we used to like. I also had them make coffee, take it with you on the way to keep you awake."

Jiang Ruan was very thoughtful and made all the arrangements perfectly.

Lu Jie said, "I am actually a little hungry."

The two sat down at the table, looking at the various dishes in front of them. Lu Jie clicked her tongue and said, "Let me tell you, I have a very strong feeling of a country person coming to the city right now."

Jiang Ruan chuckled upon hearing this: "Is it really that exaggerated?"

Lu Jie nodded: "Yes."

"This big house looks like a palace. The world of the rich is indeed different from our world."

"Tsk." Jiang Ruan laughed, "Why don't you move in? There are plenty of guest rooms here, you can stay in different rooms every day, whichever you want, and for as long as you want."

Hearing this, Lu Jie refused without thinking: "No, it's too far from the hospital where I work. It takes an hour to get there and back."

"It takes more than two hours to commute every day, it's exhausting."

"What are you afraid of? I'll buy you a car." Jiang Ruan was very generous: "You can drive to and from get off work every day. It's just a car, it won't cost much."

That does sound really good.

Just as Lu Jie was about to speak, footsteps suddenly came from the stairs, the sound of leather footsteps on the floor.

The commotion was quite loud, attracting the attention of the two people.

Looking up, I saw Bo Ye walking down. He was dressed in a black suit and exuded a powerful aura, his face expressionless.

Seeing him, Jiang Ruan was a little surprised. She was eating a fried dough stick and said with a smile, "Good morning. Why are you up so early today? It's only seven o'clock."

Bo Ye glanced at her indifferently, not even looking at Lu Jie, and walked over: "I have something to do this morning."

Jiang Ruan responded with an "Oh".

"By the way, she drank too much last night and didn't have a chance to formally introduce herself to you."

Jiang Ruan's eyes sparkled as she enthusiastically said, "This is Lu Jie, my best, best friend."

"This is actually the first time the two of you have officially met."

"Lu Jie, this is Bo Ye."

Lu Jie didn't know what was wrong with her; perhaps it was because Bo Ye had such a strong aura.

Seeing him made her scalp tingle.

For example, right now, sitting next to Jiang Ruan, opposite him, I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles.

After all, sitting opposite him was Bo Ye, the president of the renowned Bo Group in Beijing.

Lu Jie took a deep breath, thinking that she couldn't embarrass Jiang Ruan.

So she smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Lu Jie."

To his surprise, Bo Ye simply responded with a faint "Oh" to her sincere self-introduction.

His tone was indifferent: "We already met last night."

"Miss Lu Jie, is that right?"

"Yes."

Lu Jie felt inexplicably pressured and turned to look at Jiang Ruan, wondering what he meant by those words.

Jiang Ruan had a bad feeling. She gave Bo Ye a look, but Bo Ye didn't even glance at her.

Jiang Ruan had no choice but to interrupt the two with a smile: "Bo Ye, what do you want to eat? I'll have them prepare it."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you got up so early to prepare for me and Lu Jie."

Bo Ye glanced at the table.

None of these were his favorite foods.

"I'm not hungry, I won't eat," the man said.

Then his gaze fell on Lu Jie. Lu Jie wasn't wearing makeup. Bo Ye leaned back and said slowly and lazily, "You called me late last night, and Jiang Ruan picked you up from the bar. Then she threw up in my car and made my woman sleep with you all night."

"Miss Lu, you made quite a deep impression on me during our first meeting."

Lu Jie: "..."

He almost bit off his back molars.

How did he describe her crimes in such a nonchalant tone?

Lu Jie looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I drank too much last night. I'm sorry for bothering you."

Jiang Ruan couldn't listen anymore.

Her voice was strained, barely containing her anger.

"Bo Ye, if you're not hungry, go to the company first."

Lu Jie is her best friend.

What did he mean by those words?

Bo Ye's lips twitched slightly, a flicker of emotion passing through his eyes. He's angry already?

Did Lu Jie drive him away?
well.

"Don't rush, we're just chatting."

Bo Ye smiled and said, "After all, if Miss Lu moves in, we'll be neighbors. We'll see each other all the time, so I need to make some rules clear in advance."

"To avoid making Ms. Lu uncomfortable during her stay."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

It seems he overheard their entire conversation.

They were eavesdropping on their conversation!
Too much!
Jiang Ruan couldn't help but glare at Bo Ye.

Just then, Bo Ye looked over and saw her. Jiang Ruan paused for a moment, then heard Lu Jie beside her say something.

“Mr. Bo, you’ve misunderstood.” Lu Jie said seriously, “I was just joking with Jiang Ruan. I have my own house and I won’t move here to bother you.”

Bo Ye has already made his point very clear.

If Lu Jie couldn't understand what it meant, then she would truly be a fool.

Upon hearing this, Bo Ye raised an eyebrow and immediately felt relieved.

Her attitude changed faster than turning the pages of a book: "No need to be polite. You're Jiang Ruan's best friend. Just make yourself at home."

"Come visit often when you have time, it'll also keep Jiang Ruan company."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Lu Jie: "..." The two exchanged a glance.

Familiar eyes, familiar conversation, their gazes both conveying a sense of speechlessness.

Lu Jie really wanted to retort.

Brother, that's not what you said just now.

That weird and strange thing.

She just threw up in his car! She can just wash his car.

Therefore, Lu Jie had a very bad impression of Bo Ye.

I just felt that he was a very petty person.

Moreover, he has a strong presence.

After Bo Ye left, Lu Jie couldn't help but ask Jiang Ruan, "Can you stand living with him every day?"

"Although he is indeed handsome and rich, and his house is like a palace, why do I feel that the way he talks puts a lot of pressure on me?"

Jiang Ruan was still immersed in Lu Jie's previous words.

I only realized I'd misunderstood later on.

Jiang Ruan coughed lightly, embarrassed, and said helplessly, "He's not usually like this."

"I don't know what got into me today."

Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "Don't take it to heart."

Lu Jie questioned, "Really? He's not usually this sarcastic?"

"Is it because I threw up in his car last night that he hates me? Is he holding a grudge against me?"

“Um…” Jiang Ruan said, “Perhaps, he has a very serious case of mysophobia.”

“That’s it,” Lu Jie said. “You shouldn’t have let me get in his car.”

"Now look what's happened, we've made enemies directly."

"It's not that serious. It's just a car." Jiang Ruan said, "Don't think about it too much. Just ignore what he said and don't take it to heart."

"I'll give him a good talking to when he gets back tonight."

Jiang Ruan educates Bo Ye?

Recalling Bo Ye's imposing manner just now, Lu Jie blinked, unable to imagine what Jiang Ruan would be like when she lectured him.

Lu Jie snorted: "Whether he has money or not, if he treats you badly, then you can move in with me."

"Anyway, we are both independent women of the new era, we have savings, we can support ourselves, and we can live better without a man."

Jiang Ruan knew that she was worried about her.

However, Bo Ye had never treated her badly.

But she can't show affection in public during times like this.

So as not to hurt Lu Jie's feelings.

Moreover, as the saying goes, there are always smooth and bumpy times in relationships.

Jiang Ruan said, "Okay."

After dinner, Jiang Ruan drove Lu Jie to work.

After dropping her off at the hospital entrance, Lu Jie got out of the car, and Jiang Ruan drove back.

However, she wasn't sleeping. She had to go to a meeting at the company in the morning, and with the round trip, she didn't have time to catch up on sleep.

After quickly putting on makeup, Jiang Ruan went to the company.

When she arrived at the company, her assistant said that Sister Qin was looking for her and told her to go directly to her office.

"Knock knock!" A knock sounded on the door.

Sister Qin was working at her computer when she heard the noise. Without looking up, she said, "Come in."

"What do you need me for?" Jiang Ruan asked with a smile as she walked in, her high heels clicking on the floor.

Today she was dressed professionally, with her long hair tied in a low ponytail and a black dress that accentuated her excellent figure.

The part that should be convex is convex, and the part that should be upturned is upturned.

Upon seeing it was her, Sister Qin stopped what she was doing, stood up, and came over: "Please sit down first."

Jiang Ruan sat down on the sofa and raised an eyebrow when she saw that her expression was a bit serious.

"What happened? You don't look well."

Sister Qin placed a glass of water in front of her and sighed, "There have been some changes at the company's senior management level."

Sister Qin's expression was complicated: "It's very likely that it will disintegrate."

Jiang Ruan asked in surprise: "Disintegrate?"

"This company has come a long way over the years, and it's taken so long to get to where it is today. How can it just dissolve like this?"

Jiang Ruan asked, "What changes have occurred in the company?"

Jiang Ruan signed an eight-year contract with the company.

There are still five years to go.

If the company breaks up, then her contract will be invalid.

Over the years, the company has given her so much help and helped her get to where she is today.

And most importantly, it's Sister Qin.

If the company breaks up, they will all have to leave, and Sister Qin will no longer be her manager.

Sister Qin said, "I don't know the specifics. I heard from General Manager Huang that there are problems with the company's shareholders' meeting. Several major shareholders want to withdraw their investment and switch to other entertainment companies. If they withdraw, the company will be finished."

“If the company goes under, we’ll all lose our jobs. I’m worried about you right now. You’re in the prime of your career, and terminating your contract at this time will have a huge impact on you.”

Jiang Ruan frowned: "Then what should we do?"

Sister Qin shook her head: "I don't know. The impact of shareholders withdrawing their investment on the company is devastating."

"Unless, unless someone with the same wealth as them invests and becomes a new shareholder of the company, but looking across the entire capital, there are very few such people."

Sister Qin paused for a moment, then said, "Bo Ye is one."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ruan fell silent. Was it because of her that Bo Ye was allowed to invest in the company?
The major shareholder will need to invest a lot of money.

This is no longer a matter of 100 million.

"If you can persuade Bo Ye Investment Company, then our chances will be much better."

"And this way, no one in the entire entertainment industry will dare to touch you..."

Before Sister Qin could finish speaking, Jiang Ruan interrupted her: "I can't make that decision."

"Sister Qin, is there no other way besides getting rid of him?"

"How much money do you need to invest to become a major shareholder of the company?" Jiang Ruan asked curiously.

Sister Qin said, "The minimum investment would be at least several billion."

"Because the company has penetrated the entertainment industry both at home and abroad over the years, and has cultivated many Best Actor and Best Actress winners, the expenses are also high."

Over a billion?
This is indeed difficult for her.

She doesn't have that much money.

"Let's take one step at a time."

Jiang Ruan said, "It hasn't come to that yet, it's okay. If the company really goes under, we'll just switch to another company, and you can still be my agent then."

Sister Qin sighed and nodded: "Okay, actually I didn't think anything of it."

"I've been with this company for almost ten years, and I've seen so many people come and go. Now that it's suddenly going to collapse, I feel a little sad."

Jiang Ruan comforted her, "I know you're reluctant to part with it."

Seeing Qin Jie's melancholy, Jiang Ruan couldn't help but soften her heart. She hesitated and said, "How about I ask Bo Ye? Anyway, Bo's Group also invests in entertainment companies. Let's see if he's willing to invest in the company and become a major shareholder."

Upon hearing this, Sister Qin's eyes lit up instantly.

She said, "Okay."

"The Bo family is large and powerful, with many channels at their disposal, so they naturally make a lot of money. However, if an entertainment company is well-managed, like our company, which has stood the test of time in the industry for so many years, becoming a shareholder will certainly result in substantial annual dividends."

"General Manager Huang said that the reason why the company's major shareholders suddenly withdrew their investment was because someone poached them and offered them higher dividends. But looking at the entire entertainment industry, the dividends our company gives to its shareholders are already high enough."

"They're like they've been brainwashed. They're insatiable, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. They're afraid that in the end they won't get any dividends, and their investment will be gone too. It'll all be for nothing."

Sister Qin said sarcastically.

Jiang Ruan didn't understand the tricks of the trade, but she could understand what it meant.

That evening, after Jiang Ruan finished showering, she came out to find Bo Ye leaning against the headboard reading a book.

The light shone on his sharply defined face, and he looked on with exceptional focus and concentration.

Jiang Ruan's dark eyes gleamed as she walked over and climbed onto the bed.
