The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 117 It's just a contract, I don't need it.

Lin Ran spotted the man sitting in the private room at a glance and walked over with a polite smile on her face.

"Hello, Mr. Chen. I am an employee of Xiao's Group. My name is Lin Ran, and I am in charge of negotiating this contract."

The man called President Chen was very young; Lin Ran even thought he was about the same age as her. However, the way he looked at her was strange.

Chen Ming didn't speak, but looked at Lin Ran for a few moments before turning his gaze to what was behind her.

"Jiang Rao, you're too slow. You made me wait for you. What a big shot you are."

"It's an honor for you to wait for me; I wouldn't give other people the chance to see me."

Behind him, Jiang Rao walked over and chatted familiarly with Chen Ming.

Lin Ran paused for a few seconds, then immediately understood everything.

No wonder Jiang Rao insisted on coming along today; it turns out she ran into an acquaintance.

Lin Ran tightened her grip on her hands, but showed no displeasure on her face. She sat to the side, listening to the two talk, her expression completely natural.

Half an hour later, Chen Ming finally looked at her.

"What's your name again? Lin Ran, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Chen, this is the contract provided by our company. You can take a look and see if there is anything inappropriate."

"With our Miss Jiang here, the contract is naturally not a problem, but..."

Chen Ming didn't take the document; instead, he stared at Lin Ran with a blatant gaze that sent chills down one's spine.

"I heard you have a fiery temper, but you don't seem like that person today."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ran immediately understood what was going on.

This isn't a work discussion; they're clearly here to vent Jiang Rao's anger.

Lin Ran could barely control her temper and wanted to throw the documents in his face, but remembering what Song Nuan had told her before she left, she could only take a deep breath and suppress her anger.

"Mr. Chen is joking. I don't have a temper at all."

"Please take a look at this contract. Is there anything you're not satisfied with?"

Jiang Rao seemed somewhat dissatisfied and glared fiercely at Chen Ming when Lin Ran wasn't paying attention.

Chen Ming hurriedly made a gesture of begging for mercy, touched his chin, picked up the contract, and pretended to look at it for a few moments.

"Well, the contract is fine, but..."

"Mr. Chen, if you have any complaints, please feel free to speak up. I will do my best to meet your needs."

Lowering her eyes to conceal her displeasure, Lin Ran's voice remained gentle.

"You're a straightforward person indeed. In that case, I won't say anything more."

"If you spend the night with me, I'll give you anything you want, not just this one contract, but even more. How about it?"

Originally, Chen Ming was somewhat resistant to what Jiang Rao wanted to do, after all, he had high standards. But after meeting Lin Ran today, he even looked forward to it.

"Mr. Chen, what does this mean?"

Lin Ran's pupils contracted, and her tone turned much colder.

Chen Ming's hand quietly approached Lin Ran, but just as it touched her smooth skin, it was abruptly pulled away.

"It seems Mr. Chen isn't really serious about cooperation. In that case, I'll take my leave."

Lin Ran's tone was cold and hard. Without hesitation, she stood up, picked up the documents on the table, and turned to leave.

"Lin Ran, you stop right there!"

Seeing that she was about to succeed, how could Jiang Rao possibly let this opportunity slip by?

"You're just leaving like this? How will the company explain this? Brother Jingchen will definitely not let you get away with this."

Lin Ran paused, then turned around.

Meeting Jiang Rao's somewhat excited gaze, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

"You don't need to worry about this. I trust that President Xiao will make his own judgment."

After saying that, Lin Ran turned and left without saying another word.

After leaving the club, Lin Ran immediately became dejected.

She only said those words later; I'm afraid Xiao Jingchen will deduct her salary again after he finds out about this.

After all, she ruined such a big contract.

Lin Ran felt a little wronged, and tears welled up in her eyes. She blinked hard to stop the tears from falling.

She knew Chen Ming wouldn't let her go, but she didn't expect them to act so quickly.

Lin Ran was summoned to the office as soon as she returned to the Xiao family business.

Jiang Rao was already sitting on the sofa, and when she saw her come in, she gave her a provocative look.

"Brother Jingchen, President Chen was originally going to sign the contract, but Lin Ran's attitude was so bad that this happened..."

"She's gone too far! She doesn't respect the Xiao family at all!"

Lin Ran remained silent, listening to Jiang Rao's words without changing her expression, her eyes fixed on Xiao Jingchen.

Anyway, she's currently living and eating at Xiao Jingchen's villa, and the salary she earns is only to pay off her debts.

Let Xiao Jingchen punish her if he wants; it just means she'll have to work a little longer, she doesn't care.

Xiao Jingchen didn't believe a word Jiang Rao said, but he still subconsciously looked at Lin Ran. Seeing her indifferent expression, he suddenly felt a little irritated.

"Jiang Rao, you can go out first."

Jiang Rao looked at Xiao Jingchen's cold expression and was secretly pleased. She didn't say anything more and walked out decisively.

The office fell silent. Lin Ran blinked uncomfortably.

"You should go home and rest today. I'll handle this."

After waiting for a while, Lin Ran heard Xiao Jingchen's voice.

But what he said was completely different from what she had imagined.

Is Xiao Jingchen not planning to punish her this time?

"What are you standing there for? Do you want to be punished?"

It was rare to see Lin Ran with a different expression, so Xiao Jingchen pretended to be serious and said something.

"I'm leaving now."

Although Lin Ran didn't care about being punished, it didn't mean she wanted to be punished. After putting down the documents in her hand, she left the office without looking back.

Outside the door, Jiang Rao stood there deliberately. When she saw Lin Ran come out, she couldn't help but mock her. She crossed her arms and blocked Lin Ran's way, her face full of smugness.

How much was the fine this time?

"I warned you a long time ago, but you wouldn't listen and insisted on going against me. Now you're scared, aren't you?"

Seeing that Lin Ran remained silent, Jiang Rao was even more convinced that she had been severely punished, and she couldn't hide her amusement in her words.

Lin Ran was speechless, but did not offer any explanation.

Since Jiang Rao herself is going to misunderstand, there's no need for her to explain.

To Jiang Rao, her appearance was more like that of someone who had suffered a blow and was speechless. Seeing her leave the company directly, Jiang Rao was even more excited.

Her attention was entirely focused on Lin Ran, and she didn't even notice when Xiao Jingchen left.

Xiao Jingchen was quite confident in Lin Ran's work ability; as for the contract, there must be another reason behind it.

Originally, this matter could have been handled by Zhou Qing, but for some reason, Xiao Jingchen wanted to go and do it himself.

As for the reason, even he himself probably doesn't understand why he did it.
