A weekly meeting was being held in the biggest meeting room in the building.
Ruan Zeyan sat in the main seat. The shareholders and the high ranking officials sat before him. There were projectors on the walls displaying the company in-charge of their overseas branches. The meeting room held people of all races and backgrounds. All those people had to listen to Ruan Zeyan’s instructions, and they all reported what happened in the past week to Ruan Zeyan.
Ruan Zeyan listened to all their reports with a cold face. His face was always cold, so they couldn’t use his expression as a guide to know what he was thinking. He only ever changed from cold to colder. Anyone that worked for Ruan Zeyan had to be strong mentally.
Even those with formidable mental strength were sometimes shaken by Ruan Zeyan.
“Recently things have been shaky in Country E. A terrorist group just outside of its borders has been bothersome, and their powers have infiltrated the country…” Ruan Guosheng was reporting when someone’s phone began to ring.
Everyone froze with wide eyes. No one but Ruan Zeyan would ever dare to have their phone on at a meeting.
Usually, Ruan Zeyan would ignore the call and allow the speaker to continue. When Ruan Zeyan took his phone out to see who called, he actually answered it for the first time they’d ever seen.
“CEO…” Ruan Guosheng was reporting about something important, and he wanted to remind Ruan Zeyan of that. But all Ruan Zeyan did was to put out his hand, stopping Ruan Guosheng from continuing.
Ruan Guosheng shut his mouth promptly, lowering his head. His eyes were glimmering with something unknown.
Ruan Zeyan put the phone to his ear, a surprising glint of gentleness flitting through his eyes. “What is it?”
Even his voice sounded gentle.
This left the entire room of people surprised, as all they had only ever witnessed of Ruan Zeyan with a frozen face.
“Ruan Zeyan, did you send all these things to me?” Ling Tianya’s voice came through and that improved Ruan Zeyan’s mood a lot.
“What things?” Ruan Zeyan paused, before remembering the reclining chair and tonics. “Yes, I sent them. Do you like them?”
The people in the room started to guess who Ruan Zeyan was calling. Who other than that Miss Ling could make their cold and frozen boss so gentle and soft?
“This is a film set, and I’m just a screenwriter. I don’t need any special treatment, so get someone to take all of it back!”
Ruan Zeyan’s brows flew up as he softly said, “Be good, have you forgotten what the doctor said?”
Ling Tianya was speechless. Ruan Zeyan had brought her to the doctor’s on the second day after her period, wanting to solve the issue of her menstrual cramps. The doctor had said that she was sensitive to the cold, and menstrual cramps could only be solved using long periods of adjustment. The first thing to do was to stay away from anything that made her cold.
“It’s winter now, make sure to keep warm alright?”
Everyone else in the room looked at each other in disbelief, they couldn’t believe what they were hearing. Was that man who was talking so gently and lovingly really their CEO?
Ruan Guosheng hid his dark expression as he became more and more annoyed.
“I’m still busy, I’ll call you later.” Ruan Zeyan ended the call with Ling Tianya, and his face went back to its previous state. He looked at Ruan Guosheng, saying, “Continue.”
When Ruan Guosheng looked up at Ruan Zeyan’s command, his face was blank of any emotions while he continued with his reports.
