Lost [Transmigration Book]

"I heard that Mr. Zhao has hooked up with Zhou recently?"

Ruan Cheng looked at the steak in front of him slowly. Although he lowered his head, he seemed to look up at Zhao Rong from time to time, as if he wanted to observe Zhao Rong's expression.

The Zhou family is also a family in the Zhuxi area, not much different from Ruan Cheng's family, and even a little bit awkward.In the past few days, the marriage contract between Zhao Rong and Lu Xingping has been settled. When the two get a legal relationship, another sum of money will enter his account, and he will naturally have greater confidence and capital.

So Zhao Rong hooked up with people from the Zhou family and also talked about investment issues.

This matter let Ruan Cheng know, and only then did today's private meeting happen.

Zhao Rong sat on the other side, with a faint smile on his face, showing no thoughts.

Compared with the richness in front of Ruan Cheng, there was only a bowl of hot soup in front of him, which was steaming and very light inside.

He drank a few sips and said, "It doesn't count to be on the line, so we chatted."

Ruan Cheng paused and asked him, "Oh? But I also heard that Ms. Zhou has a very good impression of Mr. Zhao. After returning home, the contact person connected with Mr. Zhao."

"That's because we had a good time talking."

"Mr. Zhao, don't you know that there are some projects under the surname Zhou that are in competition with us?"

"I'm just an investor." Zhao Rong said calmly, without changing his expression, "Miss Zhou has several entertainment companies, and I'm very interested. As for the others, I have no other ideas."

Ruan Cheng squinted his eyes, and then said directly: "The funds we need here are not low. I talked to Mr. Zhao before, and Mr. Zhao gave me just the right confidence. The side surnamed Zhou also needs a lot. Zhao Sir...why do you suddenly have so much liquid capital? If it doesn't come true, the Zhou surname is not in a good temper."

Zhao Rong didn't speak, just raised her hand and asked the waiter to come over and pay the bill.

He was smiling from beginning to end, perhaps because he hadn't been tired or injured during this period of time, and he was in a good mood. His complexion was much better than before.

Sitting there wearing a pure black shirt at the moment, her gestures are more dignified than before.

Ruan Cheng knew that he didn't want to answer, so he shrugged and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, I always feel that Mr. Zhao has changed."

He vaguely remembered that when Zhao Rong attended the party last time, he was a little restrained, and even said that he had "simple ideas".But today even when he talked about such a sensitive topic, he didn't show any timidity at all, and even seemed to avoid it.

Ruan Cheng remembered what he had heard about Zhao Rong after he came to Yangcheng, as well as the word "dandy" that would be mentioned by anyone who mentioned the name at that time.

Did Zhao Rong change, or was Zhao Rong like this before, and it was revealed now?

"Maybe I haven't changed," Zhao Rong said, getting up slowly after paying the bill, "it's just that Mr. Ruan understands me better now. I didn't tell Mr. Ruan about my cooperation with Ms. Zhou." , Today's meal is my apology."

The implication was that he was just apologizing for not informing Ruan Cheng of this.

He left after speaking.

Ruan Cheng looked at the back of Zhao Rong leaving, and tapped the edge of the table with his fingertips, thoughtfully.

After the waiter cleaned up everything on the table and walked away, he took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"Joe," he said to the person on the other end of the phone, "I seem to have been tricked by Zhao Rong."

When Zhao Rong walked out of the restaurant, the cold wind instantly blew his cheeks.After the first snowfall, Yangcheng has completely entered winter, and there are lonely dead branches and leaves everywhere, like the cold that can be seen.

Knowing that Zhao Rong was afraid of the cold, Xu Xin had already parked the car on the side of the road, opened the back door and waited for him.

After he got into the car, Xu Xin stepped on the gas pedal slowly and asked him: "Xiao Zhao, why are you eating so fast? It's been less than an hour since I sent you here."

Xu Xin is Zhao Rong's new driver and assistant these days. He is in his thirties, slightly fat, and has a very peaceful face.

He used to work in the management of the Chen family's company, but he had nothing to do with Chen Zehe and others, nor was he involved in any dirty business. He was just an ordinary employee.Later, the Chen family collapsed, and Xu Xin never found a suitable job. It just so happened that Zhao Rong recently felt that he was too busy to find an assistant and met him, so he directly invited someone to be his assistant with a high salary.

With his help, Zhao Rong is also at leisure, and even his body is recuperating well.

At this moment, Zhao Rong was sitting in the back seat, took out her mobile phone and looked at the unread messages, and replied, "There is nothing to talk about, Ruan Cheng wants me to give up working with Ms. Zhou."

"That's normal." Xu Xin swung the steering wheel and drove in the direction of the nursing home. "The two of them seem to be the most prominent in their area. The relationship is not very good. You asked me to contact Miss Zhou for details. , I still feel strange, won't this make Mr. Ruan unhappy?"

The car drove smoothly through the wide but crowded street, and there was a gust of wind, faintly circling outside the car, which made Zhao Rong feel a little sleepy.

He yawned and said, "Yes. In fact, I can also invest the rest of my working capital in Ruan Cheng, but..."

But the reason why he came into contact with others was that he felt that all eggs should not be put in one basket, and the other was that...

He vaguely felt that something was wrong with Ruan Cheng.

Since he and Ruan Cheng made an agreement, besides what they had discussed in advance, Ruan Cheng often introduced various people to him.Sometimes I will send him a message suddenly, asking him if he needs internal information on certain project directions to take a look and learn.

If they were good friends, it would make sense to plan for him in this way.

But they are just a cooperative relationship related to interests, why Ruan Cheng...?

So Zhao Rong did some research and deliberately contacted the Zhou family.

It seemed that Ruan Cheng was testing him today, but in fact he was testing Ruan Cheng.

He secretly contacted Ruan Cheng, who was at odds with the Zhou family, but Ruan Cheng only asked him where the funds came from, but he didn't put any pressure, threat, or even ask him to give up cooperating with the Zhou family...

Looking at Ruan Cheng's reaction at the time, Zhao Rong knew that his guess was right. Ruan Cheng must have some confidence that he didn't know about.

Zhao Rong said to Xu Xin: "Brother Xu, can you help me find someone who has some connections with the Ruan family and the Zhou family, and help me dig out Ruan Cheng's network?"

"Row!"

He stopped talking, bowed his head, and dealt with the messages on his phone in a bored manner.

Liu Shun sent him a long list of over [-] unread messages, all of which were nonsense repeated over and over again.

Roughly speaking, Yu Xian has been unable to contact Zhao Rong, so he found Liu Shun's place by begging around and begging his grandfather to sue his grandmother, begging Liu Shun to take him to see Zhao Rong, hoping that Zhao Rong could help him and Qiao Nanqi to intercede, let him go. over him.

In the last message, Liu Shun said, "Why don't you meet? He wants to apologize to you face to face. Wouldn't it be better to see this idiot begging for mercy?"

Zhao Rong replied, "He's sorry for Miss Lu, what does it have to do with me? Qiao Nanqi might be venting his anger on the senior, so it's useless to find me. If you're annoying, block him."

After a while, Liu Shun sent him a screenshot of the blockade, which made Zhao Rong laugh out loud.

Then, he looked at the dynamics of other people on social accounts.

After swiping for a while, he first saw Lu Xiaoyue's travel photos - Lu Xingping took her out to relax, and then scrolled down to a post with several pictures of cats.

Those photos are all photos of cats. There are several squatting together, and some sleeping on their stomachs. Each of them is familiar to Zhao Rong—they are all wild cats from the Changxi Road litter. Nanqi had entrusted them to the nearest pet shop before.

The person who posted the post was a pet store clerk he had just added two days ago. His profile picture was a big orange cat, which was the largest of those cats.

A few days ago, when Zhao Rong received a friend request, she thought something was wrong with these cats.

But after he passed the friend application, the other party said that he was a clerk in a pet shop, but he had just added a job recently, and from time to time sent some photos to the cats in the store that were fostered by others or were about to be picked up, to get a closer look at the current situation, so he joined Zhao Rong.

Zhao Rong vaguely remembered that the clerk seemed to be a young girl.

In the past, when he encountered this kind of thing, he always didn't pay attention to it. After all, he himself was deeply in the mud, and there were too many things that he couldn't take care of. He really didn't have the heart to touch these trivial life.But now, he has done as he pleases, and he no longer has anything to hide.

Without thinking too much, he said "thank you" to the person and left him in the list.Although he won't bring these cats home because they represent a past he wants to let go, it's good to see pictures of those cats every once in a while, at least they are little things he has cared for for ten years.

And the little girl seemed to like those cats very much, she only posted photos of other cats once or twice, and the rest were all the cats he fostered.

Even the avatar.

He refreshes every day and always sees some new photos.Every morning, a few photos are sent to him. I don’t know if the light in the pet shop is not good. There is obviously no daylight in the photos, and they all seem to be taken late at night.

This little girl didn't know why, she didn't talk much, sometimes she didn't say a word, sometimes she only said "morning".

Later, Zhao Rong discovered that the photos she sent him were actually only a small part, and the photos in the feed were much more than those sent in private chats.

When Zhao Rong woke up in the morning, she asked her: "I see that you post a lot of news, why don't you post private chats?"

The other side actually replied quickly: "I'm afraid to disturb you, you find it annoying."

What I said, if Zhao Rong hadn't clearly remembered that he had tactfully cut off the little girl's thoughts on the day he fostered the cat, he would have thought that the little girl had other meanings.

Zhao Rong couldn't laugh or cry.

He clicked through the photos of cats in this new feed one by one, saved two that he thought were cute, gave them a like, and then slid over.

Not long after, the car stopped slowly, but Xu Xin didn't get out of the car to open the door for him, but turned around and asked him in embarrassment: "Xiao Zhao, do you see...?"

Zhao Rong was taken aback.

He turned his head sideways, and through the car window, he saw outside the small courtyard where Zhao Ming was, a man wearing a dark black long trench coat sitting on a bench beside the path, holding a mobile phone, he didn't know what he was doing.

He looked away, opened the back seat door by himself, and said, "Brother Xu, you can just drive home, I'm here with my mother today."

He got out of the car and walked straight up to Qiao Nanqi.

When he approached, this person heard his footsteps and didn't know what he was looking at on his phone. His first reaction when he saw him was to close the phone screen in a panic and throw it into his pocket, then stood up and looked at him.

His complexion was not very good, and his ears and earlobes were slightly red, maybe it was from the cold after staying outside for too long.

With Qiao Nanqi's behavior, there is actually a slight resemblance to the way he was when he was chasing Qiao Nanqi back then.

Really...

At this moment, Zhao Rong was actually a little curious. If Lu Xingping didn't have someone else in his heart, and didn't mean that he didn't have interest in Qiao Nanqi, would Qiao Nanqi still spend his time by his side?

If Qiao Nanqi knew that he and Lu Xingping were about to get married, wouldn't he not hang around in front of him, but go to stay with Lu Xingping, right?

After another thought, he felt that his curiosity was really boring, because it was already a meaningless question even if he knew the answer.

He lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on the withered branches in the distance, stood still in front of Qiao Nanqi, and said, "What's the matter?"

Qiao Nanqi looked at him with deep eyes.

The man took out a business card and handed it to him: "I asked someone to find a neurologist, who is an expert in the direction of your mother's disease. I contacted him and said that I have... friends , A friend will go to him, just call him directly."

Zhao Rong glanced at the business card, the hand holding the business card was well-knit, with slender fingers, and there was a very familiar ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

He glanced at the doctor's name on the business card, and under Qiao Nanqi's expectant gaze, he raised his hand and pushed the business card back.

"Thank you," he said, "No need."

Qiao Nanqi's face was slightly stiff, still holding the business card, he seemed a little dazed and at a loss for a moment: "Zhao Rong... I know you are still angry with me, but this may make your mother's condition better, At least give it a try, okay? You can treat it as nothing to do with me, and you don't need to thank me..."

Zhao Rong shook his head.

He is not a sharp person, the last time he deliberately lost his temper was already the limit, but now he can't get angry, on the contrary, he feels a little helpless.

It's just that these helpless words carried a touch of coldness, which made Qiao Nanqi's heart suddenly cold.

"At the beginning of this year..." Zhao Rong just said calmly, "My mother suddenly became serious. I took care of her for half a month and didn't go home. Later, the attending doctor told me that her condition was getting worse, and I I am really worried and want to find a more professional doctor."

"But I was only myself at that time, I will..." He paused, "After that..."

He did not find Qiao Nanqi, and there was no trace of Qiao Nanqi in the company.

At that time, he still couldn't resist calling Qiao Nanqi.

He thought about relying on Qiao Nanqi.

The person who answered the phone was Lu Xingping.

When he heard Lu Xingping's voice, Zhao Rong was stunned for a moment, and only heard Lu Xingping say to him: "It may not be convenient for Nan Qi now, I will talk to him later."

Zhao Rong was silent.

He actually wanted to hang up the phone, but he still held back the urge when he thought of Zhao Ming.After a while, he said, "Please, senior."

With Lu Xingping's personality, it is impossible not to tell Qiao Nanqi.But after that, Qiao Nanqi still had no reply.

Later, he went around several layers of relationships and begged everywhere, even those friends who drank together on weekdays.

Memory comes back.

Zhao Rong said slowly: "This doctor, I found it myself half a year ago."

"But I should say thank you anyway," he said. "Thank you for myself who might have cried because of this business card half a year ago."
