.hehehe..."Soon, with her laughter catching in her throat, she felt a hardness pressing against her, heavily. The feeling was too familiar, familiar enough that in an instant she knew exactly what it...Rong Ling came this time for Lin Meng (....tw good-looking novel). She told him everything about her situation. This kind of thing involves the secretary of the municipal committee and the secretary of the provincial committee, so it's not something she can handle, so Rong Ling had to come in person.

If you have great power, then I'll use even greater power to crush you!

Power over power is the only way to achieve ultimate victory!

After dinner, Rong Ling brought up the matter. Lin Meng pondered for a moment, her heart filled with a bittersweet ache. This man was clearly here for her, but how could that be so cruel—he knew exactly what to do to make her completely overwhelmed with emotion!

There was some hesitation in her heart, she didn't want to fulfill this man's wish. So she pouted and lowered her head, sitting there silently. At this moment, even though she knew everything he did was right, and that she should do as he said, there was still a reluctance in her heart, an instinctive resistance.

Rong Ling silently watched her, giving her enough time to work through her little sulk. After a while, estimating the time was right, he reached out and rubbed her head, gently but firmly saying in a soft voice, "Go!"

She pursed her lips, although she was still a little unwilling deep down. But when he gently caressed her with his big palm, she felt all her resistance crumble away and simply let out an "Oh," meekly standing up and walking towards the room's exit to find her neighbor, Ruan Cheng hui.

Nguyen Cheng Huy doesn't like Rong Ling, he dislikes him very much. As soon as he hears that Rong Ling is coming, anger immediately flares up in his heart!

Good fellow!

All these people came here, and that shameless bastard still won't let up!

His first thought was to go beat Rong Ling up, but when Lin Meng finished speaking, his impulse immediately subsided. That man was indeed powerful. If he helped them, they wouldn't be squeezed too hard during the negotiation with Sen Gong. But this was their own business, where did they need an outsider to interfere!

Today, if Rong Ling acted solely as Rong Ling, without any other emotions mixed in, then Ruan Cheng Hui would undoubtedly welcome him with open arms and even be pleasantly surprised. However, anyone who is not blind can understand that Rong Ling is doing this for someone else! Ruan Cheng Hui considers himself no fool, so how could he tolerate Rong Ling causing trouble under his very nose and giving him the chance to get close to Lin Meng!

No!

Not even the door!

"I appreciate his good intentions. But this is an internal matter of Guangda, and we don't need his involvement!" Ruan Chenghui refused rather coldly.

Lin Meng wouldn't think that way. Her heart was on Rong Ling, and naturally she felt that it wasn't a big deal to ask Rong Ling for help. After all, he was her man. As his woman, she deserved to enjoy the benefits he could offer. She knew Ruan Cheng Hui might be unhappy about it, but the obvious advantages were right in front of him. Still, she hoped Ruan Cheng Hui could consider the bigger picture.

“You should understand that with Rong Ling joining us, our negotiations would benefit greatly. Cheng Hui, this is an opportunity!”

"No way!" Ruan Chenghui snorted disdainfully. "Even if he had the ability to get Song Lian to hand over Sen Gong willingly, I wouldn't want his kind of help!"

"Cheng Hui, don't do this. You're a businessman, you should know this isn't the way to conduct business. This isn't a matter of pride, Rong Ling is just being friendly and offering his help!"

"Friendly! Hmph... Sima Zhao's intentions are known to all! Lin Meng, I warn you, stay away from him!"

Lin Mengxin felt a lump in her throat. After thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly, then gave a slight smile and said: "Chenghui, not to mention anything else, just from the business side, we should accept Rongling's assistance. If we view this aid as a simple exchange of interests, then he helped us today, and in the future when there is an opportunity, Guangda can help him back!"

"No, it's not okay as long as that person is Rong Ling. We don't need his help!"

Nüan Chenghui was slightly agitated, and his gaze towards Lin Meng carried a hint of ferocity.

"I'm going to refuse him right now. You stay here and you are not allowed to see her again!"

Such a sharp rejection, it's embarrassing on the surface, but isn't this also Ruan Cheng Hui's jealousy getting the better of him If the woman in front of him wasn't his stepmother, the wife of the old man he hated, then he could have made a move on her openly and honestly. But unfortunately, he fell into such an awkward situation, all he could do was watch and be anxious!

Damn old geezer!

He couldn't bear it and cursed his father in his heart again, grumbling resentfully, and was about to walk out.

"Hold on!"

Lin Meng slightly pursed her lips and reached out to grab Ruan Chenghui's hand.

"Alright, I agree with Rong Ling's assistance, and since you refuse, then let's ask Cheng Yi. He's the company's CEO and has the right and obligation to express his opinion on this!"

Ruan Cheng Hui's face twisted slightly, his expression gloomy. After a long silence, he finally nodded reluctantly.

So they immediately connected with Ruan Chengyi via video call. Although this harvest from SenGong was a pleasant surprise, everyone knew the importance of this negotiation and understood that the outcome would significantly influence the broader landscape. Therefore, since Ruan Chengyi learned about the provincial Party Secretary's involvement, he had been working tirelessly, holding meetings day and night with his team of advisors in the office.

Upon contacting each other, Ruan Chengyi was taken aback when he learned that Rong Ling was actually planning to intervene. Ruan Chengyi was in City B, and naturally, he would know about any news regarding the city's happenings firsthand. He knew that Rong Ling was currently facing a lot of trouble and was in a state of chaos. Moreover, the man had always been a busy person, so there was no time for him to run around at such a critical juncture! His intervention in Guangda was obviously not because he had his eyes on Guangda and wanted to gain some benefits from it, because Ruan Chengyi knew his own limitations. Although Guangda's current development momentum was good, it was unlikely to catch Rong Ling's attention. So, what was his reason for coming It was self-evident!

Ruan Chengyi had always known that Lin Meng held a special significance for Rong Ling. And judging from Xiao Youyou's appearance, he had also guessed a little. Looking at the recent personnel changes around Lin Meng and Xiao Youyou, he saw it clearly. Those cars, those people, were basically definitely sent by Rong Ling. Only such a man, in a high position, wanting any woman wouldn't be as easy to get as he wanted! Would he truly fall for Lin Meng! To fall for a married man!

Ruan Chengyi expressed suspicion and didn't have a good opinion of it at all, so he disliked Rong Ling. He thought it was just a man coveting beauty, or even if there was something real, it was only because of Xiao Youyou! But now it seems that it's not the case at all!

Rong Ling was still being investigated by the police and interviewed by reporters in City B in the afternoon, and he appeared at the SenGong site in the evening. What a speed! Judging from the time, it basically started when SenGong suddenly attacked, forcing Lin Meng's group to withdraw from SenGong first. That man began his journey!

This swift action has already fully demonstrated Rong Ling's importance to Lin Meng!

This didn't make Ruan Chengyi feel happy, instead, it made him slightly panic! A man like that was simply incomparable to his own old husband! Under such a forceful and domineering situation, the possibility of Lin Meng being abducted was practically zero! If this man helped Guangda, then Guangda would essentially owe him a favor. In the future, if this man did anything to Lin Meng, wouldn't Guangda be bound by this favor!

No!

These days, I've been intensely studying business management. I know that as a qualified manager, I should accept Rong Ling's help at this time. After all, in business, it's about business. But emotionally, I can't convince myself!

So, he refused! With a few members of the think tank looking at him in bewilderment, he tightened his face and expressed his refusal!

When Ruan Chenghui heard Ruan Chengyi's reply, he looked at Lin Meng with cold eyes, silently. It seemed to say, "See Even Big Brother thinks the same way as me." But in reality, before Ruan Chengyi made a decision, he was always uneasy. After all, he was also an excellent businessman. He hadn't managed his own business well in the past because he had deliberately competed with Ruan Cangsheng and didn't put his mind into business. Now that he was serious, he naturally researched more. Rationally speaking, he also understood where the key to profit lay!

This time, it was the shared emotions of the two brothers that suppressed their rationality!

Lin Meng felt disappointed in her heart, but she didn't say anything more. The individuality and uniqueness of people determine that she couldn't impose her own thoughts on others as a matter of course, nor could she ask them to understand or support her!

Perhaps, without her influence, the two brothers Ruan Chenghui would have accepted Rong Ling's bullying.

If she wasn't here, Rong Ling naturally wouldn't have come!

This is a cause-and-effect relationship that can't be figured out!

Then I'll just have to fight this battle alone!

With no other choice, Lin Meng planned to go back to her room, but she was caught by Ruan Cheng Hui's hand.

"Why don't you sit down and discuss things with everyone else I'll go decline Rong Ling's offer, and then call those two assistants over!"

This line, there are six people in total. Lin Meng lives in a room with Miao Qing, the two female assistants live in one room, and Ruan Cheng hui and one male assistant live in another room.

Lin Meng knew that Rong Ling was actually a bit impatient when dealing with others, and his position also meant he rarely got rejected. Fearing that Ruan Cheng Hui might say something too extreme, deepening the conflict between him and Rong Ling, Lin Meng declined Ruan Cheng Hui's proposal.

"Maybe I should go talk to him myself. This time, he only came because of my face. It wouldn't be appropriate for you to speak to him."

Since both brothers had rejected her like that, Lin Meng also cleverly knew that some things didn't need to be hidden any longer, and she could also speak without worrying too much.

Ruan Chenghui was blocked like this, and the face that had just improved a little turned gloomy again. After all, he was an adult, so he couldn't use rough means against Lin Meng, so he silently followed behind Lin Meng. In this way, it could be considered a kind of supervision!

After receiving a refusal, Rong Ling's expression didn't change at all. He had offered the opportunity, but if Ruan Chengyi and the others refused, it was none of his concern. He had done what he needed to do, and his feelings for Lin Meng were also expressed. He wasn't begging the Ruan family for their agreement, so why should he care about their opinions!

Ruan Chenghui's slightly hostile gaze wouldn't really bother Rong Ling. Ruan Chenghui was also aware of this, so after Lin Meng finished explaining, he eagerly took over the conversation.

"Mr. Rong, I'm sorry, we are still waiting for Lin Meng to join the meeting..."

He shrugged, a smile finally breaking across his face, tinged with pride.

Such a Ruan Cheng hui, however, was simply not good enough to be looked down upon. To argue with him would only make Rong Ling seem childish as well. Rong Ling naturally wouldn't do such a thing.

"Then I'll take my leave!"

He stood up, his tall frame radiating an imposing aura that made Ruan Chenghui frown slightly. No matter how disgruntled he was, he had to admit, this man's presence dwarfed his own.

Lin Meng felt a bit anxious. She still had so many things to tell Rong Ling. This man came rushing for her, shouldn't she at least see him off properly

No!

"You—" She bit her lip, thinking quickly. "You drove all the way here, aren't you tired! Why don't you stay here and rest for a while!"

Ruan Chenghui snorted coldly at once!

For a moment, a pair of icy glares shot from Congrong's eyes, piercingly fixated on Ruan Chenghui!

"Nguyen Cheng Hui, pay attention to your attitude!"

His woman is not someone this punk can hurt!

That harsh tone was even more severe than when Ruan Cangsheng used to discipline the others back in the day!

Ruan Chenghui's heart skipped a beat, with an instinctive fear that quickly turned into indignation. Then, fueled by anger, his face flushed slightly. However, Rong Ling's status was undeniable, and for the sake of the bigger picture, he couldn't indulge in a petty argument. So, he could only swallow his anger and frustration, feeling incredibly miserable!

Rong Ling glared coldly at Ruan Cheng hui for a few seconds before turning her head to say to Lin Meng, who seemed a little unsure what to do, "I'm going back to my room to rest. You guys be careful, don't talk too late, and get some sleep!"

There is a kind of intimacy that flows through words, not too much pretense.

Ruan Chenghui couldn't bear it anymore. His brow furrowed, and his heart pounded. Finally, he couldn't hold it in any longer and muttered gruffly.

"Don't worry, she's my stepmother. I'll take good care of her."

Rong Ling remained unmoved, seemingly having automatically blocked Ruan Cheng Hui. Lin Meng, caught between the two, was truly in a difficult position. So, she quickly walked a few steps, picked up Rong Ling's coat, and finally handed it to him, sending him away.

Anyway, the man's implication was that he would be staying over tonight. So, she still had a chance to talk to him again.e's actually quite tolerant!"It would take some extra effort to pay attention to him, lest he be underestimated and lead to our downfall!In fact, there's no real conflict between Chung and the Ho fami...
