Chapter 997: They Did It on Purpose, Didn’t They?
"Your future CEO’s wife, wouldn’t happen to be the friend Mr. Zhao mentioned?" He Haoran asked.
Zhao Dingli still says it’s a friend.
How is Rui Changhuai so sure that she’s his future CEO’s wife?
"You don’t know our CEO as well as I do," Rui Changhuai replied, "It’s a long story, but she’s definitely the future CEO’s wife."
Upon hearing this, He Haoran leaned closer to Rui Changhuai.
Practically head-to-head, he said to Rui Changhuai, "Bro, to be honest, I’m here with an agenda this time."
"What agenda?" Rui Changhuai asked.
He Haoran replied, "Because Doctor Shi felt that there’s something unusual about Mr. Zhao’s situation. Even though he says it’s a friend, Doctor Shi’s intuition is that it’s not just an ordinary friend. After talking with our CEO, I was sent here to investigate."
"Oh!" Rui Changhuai patted He Haoran’s shoulder and said, "You don’t need to sneak around for this matter."
"If our CEO knew your purpose for coming, he would definitely show you openly," Rui Changhuai said.
"Hmm?" After all, He Haoran follows Chu Zhaoyang.
Especially with Chu Zhaoyang’s quiet nature, it really tests He Haoran’s response capability.
So when Rui Changhuai said this, He Haoran thought for just a few seconds and immediately understood.
"Got it." He Haoran nodded, "You want to show off, right? I understand."
This is basic operations among the Eight Great Families.
He understands.
Although Rui Changhuai hasn’t experienced it personally, after all, the opportunity to show off hasn’t reached his boss yet.
But he’s seen the operations of Han Zhuoli, Zhao Gushen, and the others.
So, Rui Changhuai indicated that he understands too.
Just then, a delivery man rode up on his bike.
He pressed Zhao Dingli’s door number and dialed his home’s intercom.
Upon hearing this, Rui Changhuai quickly moved in front of the camera and said, "CEO, I’ve arrived too, I’ll bring it up for you."
Seeing it’s Rui Changhuai, Zhao Dingli said, "Alright, you bring it up together."
The delivery man confirmed that Rui Changhuai knew Zhao Dingli, and handed everything to Rui Changhuai.
Rui Changhuai couldn’t carry it all by himself, so He Haoran helped carry some.
Both arrived at Zhao Dingli’s door and rang the doorbell.
Quickly, Zhao Dingli came to open the door.
"CEO." Upon seeing Zhao Dingli, Rui Changhuai called out.
Behind him, He Haoran also called out, "Mr. Zhao, I’ve come to deliver medicine for your friend."
He Haoran worked hard not to rush in and look around.
He didn’t want to make his motives too obvious.
"Come on in, both of you." Zhao Dingli said as he stood aside.
The two of them then carried the items into the house.
Rui Changhuai first took out the slippers he bought.
Just a pair of slippers, yet it came with a very formal shoebox.
"CEO, the slippers bought for Miss Li are here." Rui Changhuai said.
Zhao Dingli opened it and gave it to Li Xiaoyun, placing them at her feet, "Try them on first, see if they fit."
Li Xiaoyun put them on, "Just right."
Zhao Dingli also smiled, "That’s good."
"Mr. Zhao, this is the ointment prescribed by Doctor Shi, I’ve brought it for you." He Haoran took the opportunity to move closer.
Then he secretly assessed Li Xiaoyun.
So, this is the kind of person Zhao Dingli likes.
Looking at Li Xiaoyun’s age, she’s rather young.
Zhao Dingli is quite the old bull eating young grass.
"Is this your... friend, Mr. Zhao?" He Haoran almost slipped the word "girlfriend" out.
Luckily, he held back in time.
"Hello." Now that Li Xiaoyun had shoes, she quickly stood up to greet He Haoran.
"Hello, hello." He Haoran eagerly extended his hands for a handshake with Li Xiaoyun.
Li Xiaoyun naturally extended her hand too.
But just as their hands were about to meet, Zhao Dingli lowered He Haoran’s hand down first.
They just met, why shake hands!
The corner of Rui Changhuai’s eyes twitched, thankfully he hadn’t told Zhao Dingli about his handshake with Li Xiaoyun.
Hopefully, Li Xiaoyun won’t mention it either.
Of course, to Li Xiaoyun, this was normal social etiquette.
It’s something very common and normal, just as normal as having a meal.
Li Xiaoyun naturally wouldn’t bring it up specifically.
She just stared blankly at Zhao Dingli blocking her hand, then blinked.
He Haoran didn’t show any embarrassment, still maintained his smile and said, "This is my business card."
He Haoran steadily handed out his business card.
Li Xiaoyun took a look at it, only to realize that he was Chu Zhaoyang’s assistant.
"Now that the items have been delivered, both of you better hurry back to work." Zhao Dingli spoke in a rather reasonable tone, "It’s work time; you can’t stay away too long."
Rui Changhuai: "..."
Weren’t you the one who asked me to come?
He Haoran: "..."
Weren’t you the one who insisted on having someone deliver your medicine?
"Alright, then CEO, I’ll head back to the office." Rui Changhuai said.
He Haoran said, "I’ll head back as well."
He paused, then asked Li Xiaoyun, "But I still don’t know how to address you?"
"You really shouldn’t use formal titles with me; it’s too embarrassing." Li Xiaoyun waved her hand and said, "It looks like we’re about the same age, so ’you’ is too formal."
Zhao Dingli raised an eyebrow.
Around the same age?
Li Xiaoyun had never said that to him.
Li Xiaoyun also took out her business card and handed it to He Haoran, "This is my business card."
He Haoran glanced down and said, "So it’s Miss Li."
Zhao Dingli had a dark face, just thinking about how to get the card back, only to see He Haoran quickly pocket it.
Zhao Dingli: "..."
"Then I’ll leave too." He Haoran said.
Zhao Dingli gave a silent sneer and said, "I’ll see you out."
Rui Changhuai knew Zhao Dingli too well.
When did he ever see someone out?
It must be because of He Haoran!
"No need to trouble you with seeing us out." He Haoran quickly waved his hand, "It’s not proper, not proper at all."
"Nothing improper about it," Zhao Dingli said, "Guests should be seen out."
He Haoran really wanted to retort to Zhao Dingli, "Since guests should be seen out, why not keep us around for a bit?"
However, He Haoran ultimately did not have the courage to say it.
And left together with Rui Changhuai.
After Zhao Dingli insisted on seeing them downstairs.
Zhao Dingli said to He Haoran, "The business card?"
Without a word, He Haoran reached into his pocket, a very straightforward manner.
He soon pulled out a business card and handed it respectfully to Zhao Dingli.
Zhao Dingli accepted the card He Haoran handed over and looked down.
[Chutian Group CEO’s Assistant, He Haoran.]
Zhao Dingli: "..."
He Haoran and Rui Changhuai must have done it on purpose!
One after another, why are you giving me your own business card!
"Why would I need your business card!" Zhao Dingli exclaimed in frustration, "Where’s Li Xiaoyun’s?"
