Ding Ruola let out a scoff. She thought Fang Siyan was just scaring her.
"I got it!"
She still had to give him some face. So Ding Ruola pretended to be obedient and agreed to Fang Siyan's request.
The next day at work, Ding Ruola noticed there were a few new people in the studio.
Judging from their postures, they were not ordinary people.
"Excuse me?"
"Here's the resignation letter!"
Ding Ruola looked at the resignation letter in her hand. It was signed by Mei Xuejian.
Wasn't this too sudden? In other companies, there was usually a one - month handover period for resignation. Her studio was at least a well - known one. Wasn't it a bit too humble to be treated like this?
"Please stay for a one - month handover period. I'm running a small business here."
Hearing what Ding Ruola said, the other person took out a check.
He threw it on the table. There was a one followed by seven zeros.
When Ding Ruola saw the amount, she sneered and tore the check up directly.
"Do you think this is funny?"
The several men looked at each other. It seemed this girl was not an easy one to mess with.
Ding Ruola moved a chair and sat there, looking around at the people sitting there.
Seeing that there was no way out, the black - clothed men had no choice but to call their master.
Soon an old man came up. He had white hair but a rosy complexion, and there was a woman beside him.
Wasn't the age gap between this couple a bit too big?
"Little girl, you have quite a personality!"
Those black - clothed men moved a chair in front of Ding Ruola.
Ding Ruola and the old man sat facing each other. In order to look more domineering, the girl deliberately crossed her legs.
The old man squinted his eyes with a smile on his face.
Ding Ruola felt a shiver down her spine.
"Are you Xuejian's boss?"
The old man waved at the man beside him. He placed a contract in front of Ding Ruola.
No matter what kind of contract it was, Ding Ruola wouldn't even look at it.
"If it weren't for the Su family, I would definitely have Xuejian marry you!"
Ding Ruola blushed and got angry all of a sudden. How could someone talk like this?
She was instantly defeated by the old man. All the words she had prepared were blocked by him.
"Grandpa! This is Professor Fang's wife!"
Professor Fang?
The old man's face became solemn. He thought for a long time and was blocked by the title of Professor Fang.
He couldn't remember for a moment that there was a Professor Fang in the capital city. He even had to give this person face.
"Is it that Fang Siyan?"
Mei Xuejian nodded.
The old man sized Ding Ruola up and down, then left with his people.
Ding Ruola was stunned. They left after hearing Fang Siyan's name.
Mei Xuejian, who was standing there, also stopped moving.
"Just like this?"
After the old man left, the studio enjoyed a long period of peace.
Ding Ruola finally managed to work normally for a few days. She had solved several tough cases at hand. When she was about to take a break.
Shi Zhi came to find Ding Ruola.
"Sister Ruola, I've never asked you for anything. Please help me this time!"
Ding Ruola knew Shi Zhi's capabilities. Usually, nothing could stump Shi Zhi.
This matter must be no simple one, so Ding Ruola naturally wouldn't agree rashly.
After all, this place was a foreign land, beyond the Ding family's sphere of influence. The Ding family's reach couldn't extend here. Ding Ruola didn't want to cause any trouble for Fang Siyan because of herself.
"It's about Su Man!"
Ding Ruola smelled the scent of gossip. Shi Zhi had always been very concerned about Su Man before. Now that Su Man was locked up by the Su family, Shi Zhi was so anxious.
There was something fishy going on!
"What's the relationship between you two?"
"Friends!"
Shi Zhi was from Qing City. Here, the word "friends" meant boyfriend and girlfriend.
Wasn't the progress of these two a bit too fast?
Since it involved the Su family, Ding Ruola couldn't make a decision on her own.
She said that she had to get Fang Siyan's consent. After expressing her thoughts, she clearly noticed the disappointment in Shi Zhi's eyes.
When she got home at night, before Ding Ruola could even say a word, Fang Siyan had already refused.
"Why are you doing this?"
Ding Ruola looked at Fang Siyan. She needed an answer.
"Baby, this kind of thing has nothing to do with us originally, and I don't know much about the situation of the Su family."
The relationships of the Su family in the capital city were the most intricate. Although Fangyuan Group was truly dominant in the economic field, it had no foothold in politics at all.
If Baili Jingming had to be counted as part of Fangyuan Group, Fang Siyan still had no way to compete with the Su family.
The main thing was that Baili Jingming only had interests in his eyes. If the Su family offered conditions that Fang Siyan couldn't match, Fang Siyan would have to fend for himself in Beishi in the future.
"But!"
"I know you're very worried about your friend. Why don't we try a different method!"
What different method?
Ding Ruola couldn't think of any good method. She sat on the sofa looking at her phone. In no time, Fang Siyan came over with a proposal in his arms and handed it to Ding Ruola.
"A birthday party!"
Only then did she remember that the day after tomorrow was her birthday.
The hosts of this birthday party were Fang Siyan and Ding Ruola.
Ding Ruola was quite well - known in the capital city. As for Fang Siyan, needless to say, people from all walks of life had to give him face.
She understood what Fang Siyan meant. She immediately turned on the computer and made an e - invitation.
Fang Siyan had already given Ding Ruola the email addresses of various companies. All she had to do now was to send out the invitation.
"Old Fang, isn't this a bit too much?"
It wasn't an adulthood ceremony. Inviting people from all walks of life for a 23 - year - old's birthday seemed a bit excessive.
"No! In this way, your goal will be achieved, and so will mine!"
Soraka Studio had always been in a mediocre state, and Ding Ruola had never been able to expand its scale.
Fang Siyan had always wanted to find an opportunity to promote Ding Ruola's studio as a birthday gift for her.
Fang Siyan knew that if he directly gave Ding Ruola an investment or a startup fund, she would definitely not accept it.
Fang Siyan had arranged the venue for the birthday party early on. Now they just had to wait for the day of the birthday party.
The day came as expected.
All the people Ding Ruola wanted to invite showed up.
"Thank you this time!"
Su Man was wearing a sky - blue short dress with her hair coiled up. She looked very capable, but the dark circles under her eyes couldn't hide her exhaustion.
"Shi Zhi is over there. It's up to you from now on."
Ding Ruola tilted her head and pointed in Shi Zhi's direction with her chin.
After the two separated, Ding Ruola bumped into a man after walking just a few steps.
"Gu—Gu—Gu Tingjun!"
This man's name might have some kind of strange effect.
"Ruola, are you okay?"
The man was wearing a dark - striped suit, which made him look even more imposing.
The look in his eyes and his overall aura were also a bit different from before.
"I'm okay, it's just..."
"Happy birthday!"
The words Ding Ruola wanted to say were interrupted by the scene in front of her. She stared blankly at the ring in the box.
Wasn't this the style usually used for proposals?
