Chapter 102: Lin Ruan

"What a surprise, two visits from you in such a short span." Lin Ruan said as Wei Jun settled opposite her. The way Wei Jun behaved, his posture as he sat showed the proportions of a warrior who had learned to stay alert his whole life.For Lin Ruan though, Wei Jun was no different he was a few days ago when they met but she couldn't quite put a finger on, the fact that something had changed.

"Yes, I have some things to discuss." Wei Jun said.

"Sure." Lin Ruan said. Wei Jun pulled out a list with two names on it and gave it to her before he said, "Hire these girls. In whatever department you can. Overwork them, pay them accordingly but make it so that these girls have no time for a personal life."

Lin Ruan read the list but the names were very unfamiliar to her. As for the question of why Wei Jun was asking for it, she just attributed it to the fact that he was interested in them. She didn't judge him for that because he was the only descendant of the Ruan family. Their father couldn't marry more because he wasn't of the Ruan bloodline, their mother was.

If they wanted more Ruan on the street, the children would have to come from Pei Ruan who had refused to have multiple relationships.

Wei Jun was always raised to have as many lovers as he could and he was never the one to disappoint but his foolish acts along with them cost the family greatly.

And now, Wei Jun stopped many atrocities for about a month now. No clubbing, no dating movie stars, no hiring beauties or blackmailing helpless girls.

Anyway, Lin Ruan didn't ponder on it too much and returned to the matter at hand. "Okay. I can get them in. but are you sure you don't want them to have some personal time?"

Lin Ruan asked that because if these girls had nothing but work on their hands, how would Wei Jun be able to make his moves?

As for Wei Jun, his thoughts didn't even go that far. He simply said, "Work them down to the bone."

His tone was harsh and it didn't give off the impression that Wei Jun was even remotely interested in them which made Lin Ruan redo her analysis. But since she couldn't think of another logical and sound reason, she just agreed to him.

"Anyway, is that all?" She asked.

"No. I was hoping there was some work you could use my help in." Wei Jun said.

This time, Lin Ruan was stunned. Wei Jun, the same one who hadn't even finished his college degree in arts, the easiest subject to exist, had never shown any interest in work. That was one of the reasons why he was kicked out of the family.

Although Lin Ruan was happy to work for the family while keeping Wei Jun the official head of the family, Sun Ruan completely refused to have a snob lead his family.

He was kicked out of the family in hopes that harsh living conditions might help him learn something. But how the hell was he going to learn when he was given a giant villa, a plethora of servants, all commodities and luxuries?

"You… want to work?" Lin Ruan hesitantly asked, as if she had heard wrong or Wei Jun was just playing with her. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Yes. Any sort of meetings or anything that you need help with. It can be something minor as well." Wei Jun said.

"I see." Lin Ruan simply replied and lowered her head. 'He doesn't seem to be joking,' was her first thought. 'I hope he's not trying to steal from the family,' was her second thought. 'I better send someone with him just in case,' was her third thought.

In none of her thoughts, she viewed Wei Jun as reliable. Wei Jun didn't know what was going through her head and he had no interest in knowing. All he wanted was to have an excuse to enter her life. The more he remained with her, the less the chances of her and Run Long meeting.

Although he couldn't stay with her twenty-four-seven, he just needed enough time to implant information of Run Long as a rival to the family. He just needed to make her the villain in Run Long's life.

But he wasn't stupid, although he hadn't read light novels, there were many educational and literature novels he had read when he was a child. In quite a few of them, the romance between a man and a woman brewed from hatred.

His own parents were a prime example although they didn't hate each other when they first met. She had just arrested him, which wasn't an example of hate and such. But it wasn't romantic in the least and it brewed later on. So right now, Wei Jun was risking by letting them meet.

Any situation where they end up becoming lovers can happen so to keep an eye on Lin Ruan so that doesn't happen, he decided to involve himself in her life.

"Well," Lin Ruan finally said after a few minutes, "Since grandfather's cultivation rank increased, the problems with the families have almost all diminished. And with the death of Yao Tian, our biggest competitor, the Tian family is not a problem at the moment." She first explained.

Then she continued, "All in all, everything is perfect. But there are some small problems. Problems where ordinary civilians are involved and cultivators cannot do anything about it. I was thinking of sending some legal expertise down and dealing with them. Feel free to join them and help however you can." Lin Ruan told Wei Jun.

Wei Jun simply nodded and said, "I will be in the lobby then. Tell the advisor to meet me there. Make sure to send the contract with him."

Lin Ruan nodded and Wei Jun left like lightning. Not literal, just that he didn't give her any time to say anything. He just left.

In the building lobby, Wei Jun was waiting when a man in a lawyer outfit came to him and said, "Mister Ruan. I'm Yan Wi. May we head out? I will explain everything in the car."

Wei Jun nodded and they both moved out of the building. Yan Wi didn't say anything because he was nervous in Wei Jun's presence while Wei Jun didn't say anything simply because he wasn't interested.

On the way he read the contract and memorized all the loopholes in the contract that could be used in their favor, but also the ones that the opposite party could utilize. Such as this, a construction company was hired to renovate a condo but they had been delaying work for three weeks now.

There were many reasons given, such as shortage of staff, delay in material delivery or just some normal communication issues. It was a small issue and it shouldn't have reached Lin Ruan's ears, but the owner of the condo was someone she knew so she became aware of it.

But then the construction company utilized the problems stated above and claimed that one of their workers had been injured during renovation so the work was delayed once again. Right now, the lawyer was going there to see if they could quicken up the process.

But Wei Jun didn't like it. The way Lin Ruan asked, and the way the lawyer briefed Wei Jun, it sounded like they were going to request the construction company to speed up the process.

Wei Jun didn't like that because that was a subservient approach. There was no proof of the claims of the construction company.

This was a simple matter of extortion. The company wanted to use various excuses to prolong the job which would cause them to ask for extra funds over time for various random excuses that would pop up at any time.

The company also wasn't scared because the cultivators couldn't be involved in this matter and if the Ruan family tried to threaten them, they could easily involve the labor union and make this a public issue.

Wei Jun had dealt with these kinds of people before and he knew how to handle them. Of course, once he was done with them, it depended entirely on his mood to what extent he was going to destroy them.

Would he leave them with nothing, or be merciful and let them have their clothes on their bodies? All of it depended on his mood.

Of course, things were different here. It wasn't his company that was being targeted so he wouldn't get personally involved. He would just use the loopholes in the contract in his favor to finish the job. There was no need to work perfectly when nothing of his was on line.

Simply doing a job that would get Lin Ruan's attention, causing her to give him more work, was enough for Wei Jun.

Just as he had decided on his approach. They arrived in front of a forty-floor resident building. Wei Jun closed the contract and left the car with the lawyer.
