Chapter 323: Chapter 323: The Pursuers

Ruan Hongzhuang actually didn’t want to expose her relationship with Shen Siyuan so soon.

The main reason was the fear of causing gossip among the company’s people and worrying about Shen Siyuan having difficulties at work.

But whenever she saw Shen Siyuan chatting and laughing with other women, she felt uncomfortable, Taozi being the exception, of course.

And then she thought, did she bring Shen Siyuan into her company for work? Besides, this guy is going to take a long leave soon, so does it make a difference?

So, she laid her cards on the table; she stopped pretending.

And by doing so, there were quite a few other benefits.

For instance, it cleared the heads of some in the company who had designs on her.

Ruan Hongzhuang’s suitors were not only elite and rich second-generation from outside, but there were also quite a few pursuers within the company.

However, these internal suitors knew their place, their pursuit not as ardent as those external elites and rich young men; they often flaunted their presence in front of Ruan Hongzhuang or showed concern for her, creating a warm man image, hoping to win over the beauty.

Among them, the head of the Legal Department, Chang Haoxuan, and a sales representative named Han Yanxia in the Sales Department were the most prominent.

Chang Haoxuan from the Legal Department, with a Doctorate from Political Science and Law University, was actually considered a junior of Zhao Dezhu, following the elites’ path.

His position as the head of the Legal Department in Red Hearts International was actually recommended by Zhao Dezhu.

Zhao Dezhu is a legal consultant with his own law firm, he doesn’t generally stay in Red Hearts International, only participating in international disputes, or complicated cases.

Last time when Shen Siyuan had an issue, Ruan Hongzhuang called him over, which was actually using a cannon to kill mosquitoes.

As for Han Yanxia, he followed a wealthy and extravagant route with a rich family background, although just a regular salesperson, his position in the Sales Department was unique; he joined the company backed by substantial financial resources, had an outgoing personality, and enjoyed various activities like surfing, motorcycling, skiing, polo, etc.

Thus, he was liked by many young girls in the company.

But the moment he first laid eyes on Ruan Hongzhuang, he was enchanted by this older sister, attracted by her maturity, intellect, beauty, and generosity, making other young girls he hung out with seem juvenile and vulgar by comparison.

Hence, he joined Red Hearts International with the purpose of pursuing Ruan Hongzhuang.

And his access to Red Hearts International was also somewhat related to Jiang Taoshi because they were from the same social circle.

Han Yanxia’s first encounter with Ruan Hongzhuang was at their circle’s gathering, where Jiang Taoshi brought him along.

So as soon as Ruan Hongzhuang had a boyfriend, they were the first to know.

Chang Haoxuan’s reaction was rather indifferent, merely staring at the photo on his phone, lost in thought.

The photo captured a profile view of Ruan Hongzhuang looking at Shen Siyuan beside her; although the distance was a bit far and the photo was slightly blurry, one could still discern her slightly upturned lips and glimmering eyes.

With such a gaze at a man, claiming there’s nothing would make even a dog skeptical.

Compared to Chang Haoxuan’s unwavering demeanor, Han Yanxia’s reaction was much more intense.

"Which department is this guy from? I haven’t seen him before."

"Does he look better than me?"

"Look at me, then look at him..."

He positioned his phone next to his face, questioning a colleague at the adjacent workstation.

The colleague naturally laughed and agreed, "Naturally, Brother Han, you are more handsome."

"Right, then why would President Ruan fancy him and completely disregard me?"

"Maybe he has some special talents, hehe..."

A colleague nearby picked up the joke and smirked.

Han Yanxia, upon hearing this, got enraged, stood up and kicked over directly, sending the guy with the chair rolling backward, thankfully the office chairs had wheels, otherwise he would have fallen backward, but the kick was definitely forceful.

"Tom, have you been eating shit with your mouth? Why does it stink?"

The colleague who was kicked got up angrily, clenching his fists and glaring at the other.

But Han Yanxia wasn’t intimidated at all, staring back and saying, "What, you wanna fight? Try laying a hand on me."

The colleague who was kicked, though taller and bulkier than the other, clenched his fists in extreme anger but didn’t dare to throw a punch.

Luckily, at that moment, other colleagues noticed and quickly came over to mediate.

So he backed down, saying, "Can’t be bothered with you."

Then he pulled his chair back and remained silent.

Han Yanxia didn’t hold onto the matter either; after all, it was just a joke from the other party, but the joke was about his goddess, which was absolutely unacceptable.

Is Ruan Hongzhuang such an easy-going person? Knowing the other’s specialty without even dating? This was clearly a demeaning remark, no wonder Han Yanxia was mad.

Han Yanxia glanced disdainfully at him again and turned to walk out of the office.

"Brother Han, where are you going?"

"I’m going to check out what that kid is all about," Han Yanxia said.

Seeing him leave, the colleague who just spoke said, "He’s not going to start a fight, is he?"

"It’d be better if they did fight. What a simp," said the one who had been kicked.

Hearing this, the speaking colleague didn’t respond but just bowed his head and played with his phone.

The kicked colleague just had to sulk and mind his own business.

Some gossiping colleagues nearby then gradually withdrew their gazes.

They found it kind of funny; why provoke Han Yanxia, that second-generation rich kid, and also be so unfiltered? That’s a big no-no in sales. Better stay away from him in the future.

During the two-hour lunch break at the company, some chose to go out, others chose to scroll on their phones, and some decided to rest their heads on the desk...

A few from the network maintenance department, including Long Shihai and Ge Changsheng who hadn’t yet returned from outside, Guan Yanping was staring at his phone with a silly grin, while Zhao Guangcai was intently focused on his computer.

Only Zhang Hicheng was lying back in his chair, eyes closed in sleep; as the leader of the network maintenance department and being the oldest, he needed some rest at midday to keep up in the afternoon.

Shen Siyuan wasn’t sleeping either, but he was leaning back in his chair, eyes closed in meditation, his mind seated in the Sea of Consciousness, with a radiant orange sun appearing above his head.

Due to his position near the window, the sunlight could shine on him, making the radiant sun above the Sea of Consciousness glow intensely both inside and out.

However, just then, his keen sense of perception felt a gaze relentlessly on him, like an annoying mosquito, now lifting now landing, irritating him.

Opening his eyes and following the gaze, it was Wei Suhua, unabashed. Seeing Shen Siyuan looking over, she immediately grinned, showing her white teeth, beaming brightly.

"Is there something?" Shen Siyuan asked, puzzled.

"You’re really handsome, no wonder President Ruan likes you," Wei Suhua said.

"Stick to the point, don’t beat around the bush."

Flattery for no reason hints at ulterior motives.

"I mean it, just now the sunlight was shining on you, and you seemed to glow, giving off an immensely majestic and sacred aura," Wei Suhua said.

"Oh, is that so? Well, you keep watching then," Shen Siyuan said, preparing to go back to meditating.

"Wait, wait, aren’t you going to reconsider? Your relationship with President Ruan, it’s quite sensational, very photogenic."

"Beautiful rich woman falls for a lose

popover-summariesoundiliar guy like me, the overbearing CEO and her useless little man, the Hidden Dragon King and his rich beautiful fiancée..."

As Wei Suhua spoke, her eyes sparkled with excitement, her cheeks seemed to flush with the thrill, her demeanor extremely agitated, but Shen Siyuan, hearing this, felt a chill.

Such a nice girl, but who would’ve thought she’d be into this kind of stuff...

Just then, a gentle knock was heard at the door.
