Chapter 297 Red Hearts International

Chapter 297: Chapter 297 Red Hearts International

Ruan Hongzhuang first dropped Shen Siyuan off at work, then drove back to her own company.

Red Hearts International, Ruan Hongzhuang’s company, was not large, but it occupied an entire floor of the Tianfeng Building.

The reason for this was not because Red Hearts International was large in scale, but because it had high revenues and was wealthy.

Of course, there was another reason: the company leaned towards a younger demographic and, unlike some old money firms, they would not cut corners and always tried to minimize all costs.

The overall atmosphere of the company was somewhat like an internet company, but what it possessed the most were not programming and art departments, but marketing, customer service, finance, and legal departments, and of course, the smallest, the IT department.

This position involved maintaining and managing the company’s internal computer systems and networks, as well as the shipping dispatch system, cargo tracking system, etc.

Besides collaborating with other shipping companies, Ruan Hongzhuang’s company also owned six ocean-going cargo ships; two were sponsored by Ruan Xiangqian, two were purchased by the company itself, and two belonged to Jiang Taoshi, operated under a leased format.

These six ships were managed by a professional manager brought in by Ruan Xiangqian.

In other words, Red Hearts International was actually divided into two parts: Ruan Hongzhuang was in charge of administrative duties, while the professional manager found by Mr. Ruan handled the specific ships.

Because of Ruan Hongzhuang’s capabilities and the connections of Ruan Xiangqian and Jiang Taoshi, although Red Hearts International was not large in scale, it had a good business and had long-term cooperation with several foreign trading companies.

When Ruan Hongzhuang entered the Tianfeng Building, the security personnel belonging to the Tianfeng Building greeted her.

Of course, those who greeted her were some older security personnel; the younger ones didn’t dare, after all, Ruan Hongzhuang was young and beautiful, and casually approaching her to chat might not even get a response, and if you were accused of harassment, you’d be in big trouble.

The entire Tianfeng Building naturally had more companies than just Red Hearts International, but it was definitely the most profitable one. This could be seen from the company’s benefits prepared for these third-party security personnel every festive season, showing that their company was definitely wealthy.

Ruan Hongzhuang didn’t arrive early; it was already past working hours, so there were few people in the elevator.

Few, but not none, like now, Ruan Hongzhuang encountered a man in a silver-gray suit.

He immediately greeted Ruan Hongzhuang warmly.

"President Ruan, good morning."

Ruan Hongzhuang could only nod her head, as she did not know the man’s name; she had only heard Taozi mention that he seemed to be a leader of a medical company upstairs.

The man was not too old, in his thirties, with meticulous hair and a very shrewd and capable appearance, exuding the charm of a mature man.

Seeing that Ruan Hongzhuang entered the elevator, he took the initiative to press the floor button for her.

"Thank you," Ruan Hongzhuang responded.

The man immediately said, "President Ruan, your company is in the shipping business; our company has just purchased some medical equipment and is looking for someone to transport it from abroad. I wonder if your company would be interested in taking on the job."

"No," said Ruan Hongzhuang.

Ruan Hongzhuang’s direct refusal left the man with his next words stuck in his throat.

"Uh... President Ruan, you’re joking, right? Who would refuse business?" The man said somewhat awkwardly.

"Our ships for this year are already fully booked. If you want transportation, it can only be arranged for next year."

"Next year is fine too. We will still have equipment purchases next year; we can cooperate long-term," said the man.

Ruan Hongzhuang chuckled lightly and then said, "We can cooperate, sure. You should contact our marketing department directly; I don’t specifically handle these matters."

The man wanted to say more, but at that moment the elevator had already arrived, and without turning her head, she stepped out of the elevator directly.

The man stood in the elevator, watching Ruan Hongzhuang’s retreating figure, but just smiled and did not show any dissatisfaction.

"President Ruan, good morning."

Seeing Ruan Hongzhuang come in, the two receptionists at the company quickly got up.

One girl had a round face, full of collagen, making her look very cute.

The other had a somewhat square face, giving off a more mature appearance, and looked a bit older.

Actually, they were the same age, both recent graduates; the round-faced one was called Sun Rou, and the square-faced one was called Han Qiuyun.

Ruan Hongzhuang just nodded at them and walked straight in.

After she went in, Sun Rou whispered, "Why didn’t President Ruan bring any roses today?"

"How would I know? Maybe the guy was rejected by President Ruan and gave up," said Han Qiuyun.

Many people pursued Ruan Hongzhuang, and often people sent flowers, usually received by them at the reception, and afterward, Ruan Hongzhuang would just let them deal with them as they liked.

Only during this period of time had Ruan Hongzhuang often been seen either holding a bouquet or a rose; encountering her empty-handed like today was a rare scene.

In fact, Ruan Hongzhuang did receive a bouquet, but because she was at home, she directly placed the flowers into the vase given by Jiang Taoshi.

Ruan Hongzhuang walked inside, receiving greetings along the way; the entire company had overwhelmingly young staffers, with very few employees over the age of forty.

As Ruan Hongzhuang made her way, she reached the door to her office, pushed it open and entered, immediately spotting Jiang Taoshi sitting at her desk eating.

Seeing her enter, Jiang Taoshi didn’t stand up, but instead squinted at her, her mouth incessantly moving.

"What are you staring at me like that for?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked with a light-hearted laugh.

"I’m checking how much essence energy you absorbed last night," Jiang Taoshi said.

Hearing this, Ruan Hongzhuang reached out to knock on her head, "Don’t talk nonsense."

But as Jiang Taoshi opened her mouth to bite, Ruan Hongzhuang quickly retracted her hand in fright.

"Are you a dog or something?"

"I’m not talking nonsense; Aunt Jiang said this," Jiang Taoshi retorted confidently.

"She’s talking nonsense too, don’t learn from her."

"Then tell me, how did you manage to look younger..."

Jiang Taoshi suddenly stood up, dashing right up to Ruan Hongzhuang’s face, nearly touching lips, which made Ruan Hongzhuang lean back in shock.

"Hehe..." Jiang Taoshi let out a proud laugh.

However, she suddenly stopped and said sternly, "I never noticed before, but recently, not only has your skin improved, but your essence energy also seems much better. Your whole aura makes you look several years younger. I always thought it was just because you were glowing from love, but I didn’t expect..."

Jiang Taoshi’s face turned into a teary expression.

"We’re supposed to be best friends, and you’ve been keeping this from me."

Ruan Hongzhuang reached out and pinched her chin, leaning across the desk so close that they could smell each other’s breath.

Jiang Taoshi’s cheeks turned a slight red, fair-skinned as she was, making her look tender and pink like a rosy apple.

"Are you ready to become one of us then?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked.

"What?"

"Only those who become one of us can know this secret, otherwise they’ll have to be killed."

Ruan Hongzhuang ran her finger across her throat, startling Jiang Taoshi.

Ruan Hongzhuang then cruelly laughed, but then she stood straight, still holding a Swiss Roll in her hand.

"Give me one to eat," Ruan Hongzhuang said with a smug raise of her eyebrows.

"So you said all that just to steal my Swiss Roll, give it back to me now," Jiang Taoshi exclaimed frantically.

Ruan Hongzhuang ignored her and simply said, "Si Yuan will be coming to work at the company in a few days, prepare his workstation for him."

"I don’t care about him, he’s your boyfriend, not mine," Jiang Taoshi said indignantly.

Ruan Hongzhuang turned back to her, giving a seductive smile, "That’s negotiable."

Then without waiting for Jiang Taoshi to reply, she continued, "You two should get along well, maybe Si Yuan will also transfer some essence energy to you."

Jiang Taoshi was tempted to refuse, but she couldn’t bear to. No woman could resist the chance to become younger, and she was already 28; in two years, she’d be 30, with bodily functions starting to degrade.

She knew that absorbing essence energy was a joke. If it were real, thinking about Aunt Jiang becoming younger would be truly horrifying, but Shen Siyuan definitely had a way to make someone look younger.

Watching Ruan Hongzhuang triumphantly go to the inner room, Jiang Taoshi weakly rested her chubby cheeks on the desk, feeling easily manipulated and quite upset.

However, her eyes brightened when they fell on the Swiss Roll nearby.

If Shen Siyuan really came to work, then she would have a perfect lunch partner.

She quickly straightened up, pulled out a notebook from the side, and started listing all the food she wanted to eat.

She wrote while foolishly grinning and occasionally swallowed her saliva.

Her gaze gradually became profoundly wise.
