Reborn back to the day I descended the mountain, Miss Ji, I will take responsibility for you!

The great-grandmother of the Ji family glanced at Ji Xiaoren's family, a look of disappointment on her face.

Sensing the disappointment in his great-grandmother's eyes, Ji Xiaoren's expression changed slightly, and he had a bad feeling.

The great-grandmother of the Ji family looked at Ji Ruoyu and said gently, "In my capacity as the chairperson of the Ji Beauty Group, I formally invite Ji Ruoyu."

"Ruoyu, would you be willing to join the board of directors of Ji's Beauty Technology and serve as an executive director?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu excitedly stood up and said, "I'm willing, thank you great-grandmother, I will definitely not let you down."

Grandma Ji nodded and looked at Zhao Miaomiao, saying, "Miss Zhao, Ji Ruoyu is now authorized to sign the tender documents with you."

"This project will also be entirely managed by Ji Ruoyu. Is that alright with you?"

Zhao Miaomiao stood up and said, "If that's the case, we're willing to accept it, and we can sign the contract now."

As he spoke, he took out the contract that he had prepared in advance and placed it in front of Ji Ruoyu.

Upon seeing the contract, Ji Ruoyu did not sign it immediately.

Instead, he picked it up and carefully read through it, only signing it after confirming that everything was correct.

In response, Zhao Miaomiao couldn't help but think more highly of Ji Ruoyu.

Despite such enormous profits, they were still able to remain relatively calm.

However, this mindset destined Ji Ruoyu to achieve great things. Both parties confirmed the signing was completed, with three copies made.

Each of the two families kept one copy, while the remaining copy was taken away by a lawyer arranged by Bajinglou and filed at the law firm.

After putting the contract away, Zhao Miaomiao extended her hand and said, "Ms. Ji, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation this time."

Ji Ruoyu also extended her hand and said, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

"Alright, now that things are done, I won't disturb Miss Zhao's meal any longer." After saying that, Zhao Miaomiao looked at Ye Chen.

"Dr. Ye, if you have time, you are welcome to come to my home."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "I'll bring Ruoyu over when I have time, and thank your father for me."

"Dr. Ye, you're too kind. See you next time." With that, Zhao Miaomiao bowed slightly to Ye Chen and then left with her entourage.

Seeing this, Ji Ruoyu looked at Ye Chen with some confusion.

After Zhao Miaomiao left, Ji Ruoyu asked, "When did you meet Miss Zhao? I didn't know."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Do you remember when I went to the pharmacy to buy medicine and prepare it for you and Grandma?"

Ji Ruoyu nodded upon hearing this. Ye Chen had previously prepared some pills for her and her great-grandmother.

Since taking Ye Chen's pills, Ji Ruoyu has clearly felt that her physical condition has improved a lot.

Great-grandmother's complexion also became rosy. Ye Chen continued, "I met her by chance at the pharmacy that time. I helped her family with their medical treatment, and that's how we got to know each other."

"Is it really that simple?" Ji Ruoyu asked in disbelief.

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Yes, it's that simple."

As for the process, Ye Chen was too lazy to explain, otherwise it would be too troublesome.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu did not press the matter further, but instead said, "In any case, I still want to thank you this time."

Ye Chen said indifferently, "I didn't help much. If your proposal hadn't been excellent, the Zhao family wouldn't have taken a liking to it."

Hearing this, Ji Ruoyu was very pleased and a smug look appeared on her face.

Ji Xiaojun said, "Ruoyu, securing this cooperation is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for our Ji family."

"You'll need to put in extra effort to advance the project; don't let anyone underestimate us."

As Ji Xiaojun spoke, his words were pointed and pointed, and Ji Xiaoren and Ji Ruoyun looked extremely grim.

However, they were helpless, since the Zhao family had their eyes on Ji Ruoyu, and there was nothing they could do about it.

Now we can only wait until we get back to the company to discuss this further.

After all, such a large project cannot be accomplished by Ji Ruoyu alone.

When the time comes, they will naturally find a way to get a share of the profits.

Just as Ji Xiaoren and his daughter Ji Ruoyun were making plans in their minds.

Ye Chen's teasing voice pulled them back to reality.

"Have you two forgotten that we still have a bet?"

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Ji Xiaoren and Ji Ruoyun's expressions turned even uglier.

Ji Ruoyun subconsciously looked at Qin Zihao, who was staring coldly at Ye Chen.

After a long silence, Qin Zihao spoke up: "It's just a small goal. I, Qin Zihao, am not someone who can't afford to lose."

As he spoke, Qin Zihao pulled out his phone and said, "Account."

Ye Chen gave Qin Zihao an account number, and Qin Zihao didn't waste any words, transferring 100 million yuan directly.

Ji Ruoyu's phone chimed, and she picked it up, stunned by the notification that the money had been deposited into her account.

She turned to look at Ye Chen, wondering how he knew her bank account number.

Then she suddenly realized something and blushed, because this account was the one she used when she first met Ye Chen.

The bank card she threw out, containing two million yuan as hush money, was later returned to her by Ye Chen.

Ye Chen looked at Ji Ruoyu's suddenly flushed face and smiled slightly, "Wife, I saw you were a little reluctant to buy two pieces of clothing before. You can take this money and spend it. If it's not enough, I'll win you some more."

Listening to Ye Chen's teasing, Ji Ruoyu felt a sweet warmth in her heart for no reason.

Ji Ruoyun and Qin Zihao looked grim. After transferring the money, Qin Zihao turned and left immediately, not wanting to stay in this place for even a second longer.

Seeing this, Ji Ruoyun quickly chased after her. After her daughter left, Ji Xiaoren also prepared to get up.

Just then, the great-grandmother of the Ji family spoke up: "Eldest son, this cooperation between the Zhao family and the Ji family is a matter of life and death for the family."

"I don't want any unexpected problems to arise in this collaboration. Do you understand what I mean?"

Ji Xiaoren's expression stiffened upon hearing this, but he quickly recovered and said respectfully, "Mom, don't worry, I can handle big and small matters."

"We will definitely cooperate fully with Ruoyu to complete this project."

Upon hearing this, the great-grandmother of the Ji family nodded and said, "Well, that's good. Go ahead."

Ji Xiaoren then respectfully withdrew with his wife, leaving only his great-grandmother and Ji Ruoyu's family in the room.

Grandma Ji looked at Ji Ruoyu and said, "You've worked hard this time. You'll need to put in a lot more effort for this project."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu nodded and said, "Great-Grandma, don't worry, no matter how many difficulties we encounter, I will definitely ensure the smooth completion of the project."

Grandma Ji nodded and looked at Ji Xiaojun, saying, "Second son, I know you've suffered a lot of injustices over the years. I'm sorry."

“Now that your daughter has taken over the head office, you, as her father, also need to shoulder your responsibilities. You can’t let your daughter handle everything.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaojun's eyes reddened slightly as he said, "Mom, what are you saying? You haven't wronged me; it's just that I'm useless."

"Rest assured, anyone who wants to harm my daughter will have to step over my dead body first."

"Me too." Seeing the serious atmosphere, Ye Chen couldn't help but joke around.

Grandma Ji glanced at Ye Chen, a smile appearing on her face, and said, "Alright, with your words, I'm relieved."

The news of the cooperation between the Zhao and Ji families quickly spread within the Eight Views Tower, immediately sparking heated discussions.

This naturally caused dissatisfaction among some people, but since the Ji family had boarded the Zhao family's ship, they naturally had to be cautious.

Soon, the cooperation between the Zhao and Ji families was overshadowed by other cooperation news, after all, there were quite a few large projects this time.

The investment promotion conference didn't end until 10 o'clock, but Ji Ruoyun and her family left early.

After the event, Bajinglou arranged a special car to take Ye Chen, Ji Ruoyu, and the others home.

Sitting in the car, Ji Ruoyu looked at Ye Chen, a strange light flashing in her eyes.

Ye Chen felt uneasy under Ji Ruoyu's gaze and said, "Wife, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu nodded and said, "Yes, your face is not only covered in flowers, but also peach blossoms, first Boss Liu and then Miss Zhao."

"I didn't realize Mr. Ye was so lucky with women."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes gleamed with amusement: "Huh, why do I smell such a strong scent of vinegar? Honey, are you jealous?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu turned her head away and said, "Who's jealous of you? Don't overthink it."

"I'm just worried that your good fortune in love might turn into a disaster. Boss Liu and Miss Zhao are not ordinary people."

"If you don't handle this well, it will implicate me and the Ji family. Who can I complain to then?"

Ye Chen was already used to Ji Ruoyu's insincerity and was about to tease her a couple more times.

Suddenly sensing something, Ye Chen frowned slightly, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Turning around, Ye Chen looked at the back of the car, where a strong killing intent was coming from behind.
