Rebirth: My Childhood Sweetheart Came into My Arms

Twenty minutes later, the assistant knocked on the office door.

"Mr. He, the meeting room is ready."

"understood."

He Lianghan adjusted the angle of his tie in front of the full-length mirror and said to He Ziyu, who was still carefully reviewing the regulations, "Ayu, let's go to the meeting."

He Ziyu nodded and closed the articles of association.

In his previous life, when his father brought him to the company, he would lie on the sofa in the conference room and play games, deliberately playing the game sound out loud.

Once, when a shareholder came to talk to his father about work, he didn't shy away from it and continued playing, which made He Lianghan so angry that he almost threw him out the window.

At that time, He Ziyu harbored some resentment.

He felt that his father's lack of concern for him and his attempts to control his behavior were absurd, and as the sole heir, it was a foregone conclusion that the He family business would eventually be handed over to him.

Until He Ningqiu came to the He family, her father placed all his hopes on her...

The train of fate ultimately carried him, young and naive, toward tragedy.

As his thoughts returned to their source, He Ziyu had already arrived at the meeting room door.

Through the semi-transparent glass door, He Ziyu saw that the room was already full of people, all dressed in suits and ties, with serious and earnest expressions.

A woman dressed in office attire poured water for the shareholders using disposable paper cups. As she turned around, He Ziyu saw her gentle and charming face.

It's Fan Xunmei.

Fan Xunmei joined the administration department, and naturally, the logistics department was responsible for serving tea and water.

However, the fact that she was able to serve water at a shareholders' meeting of this level is enough to prove that her superiors appreciate her.

He Lianghan: "Ah Yu, we're about to go in. Are you nervous?"

"I'm not nervous," He Ziyu said. "The people sitting inside are all highly capable and worthy of my learning. I'm more than happy to get to know them."

He Lianghan was very satisfied with He Ziyu's answer.

"Mr. He, Young Master He, please..."

The assistant pushed open the door and respectfully stepped aside.

He Lianghan strolled into the conference room.

He Ziyu followed behind and sat in the first seat specially reserved for him on the left.

"Is everyone here?"

"Everyone's here, Mr. He."

He Lianghan nodded and began to introduce: "This is my son, He Ziyu. He is currently in high school. Some of the shareholders here should know him."

"Hello, Young Master He..."

"Young Master He is indeed just like President He, possessing an extraordinary demeanor."

Such occasions are never short of sycophants and sycophants, and He Ziyu was well prepared for this. He looked around, then stood up and said calmly, "Hello, seniors. I am He Ziyu. I am very excited to be here at He's to experience the corporate culture."

"My father said that there are many talented people in the company's upper management. Today is a rare opportunity to get close to these big shots, and I will definitely make the most of this opportunity to humbly learn from them."

He Ziyu's speech was concise and powerful. He placed himself in the position of a junior without appearing overly humble. The shareholders present applauded when they heard this.

"I never imagined that Young Master He would be so mature at such a young age. He's truly a force to be reckoned with..."

"Mr. He, you previously said your son was naughty and mischievous, but it turns out he was just trying to surprise us?"

Hearing the praise from everyone, He Lianghan was pleased even though he knew it was flattery.

Moreover, in his eyes, He Ziyu possessed such potential, and in three to five years, he would definitely be even more outstanding and dazzling than he is now.

Amidst the praise, He Ziyu maintained a faint smile throughout.

Having lived a lifetime, he knew all too well how much of that praise was true and how much was false.

He can be confident.

But we must never be arrogant.

Amidst the laughter and conversation, an older man with graying hair, sitting opposite He Ziyu, asked in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, "Young Master He, do you still remember me?"

He Ziyu looked at the man, his gaze lingering on his face for a few seconds, and said gently, "Of course I remember. You are Director Zhuo of the Legal Department. When I first came to the company a few years ago, it was you who showed me around."

A hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes when he heard He Ziyu accurately state his position and surname.

The last time He Ziyu came to the company was when he was in elementary school, which was five or six years ago. He asked this question just to see how He Ziyu would react to a tricky question, but he didn't expect that the boy could actually answer it.

Catching the surprise in the man's eyes, He Ziyu subtly curled the corners of his mouth.

Just kidding, he did his homework before he came.

He knew the identity and past work experience of every member of the shareholders' meeting very well.

The person who just asked him the question was none other than his father's most trusted confidant—Zhuo Li, the director of the legal department.

Zhuo Li was over fifty years old and had been with the He family for at least several decades. Because of his integrity and dedication to public service, he was always highly valued by his father.

He Ziyu remembered that in his previous life, when Xiao Shan's influence extended into the He Group, Zhuo Li had subtly reminded him, but at that time he was not focused on the company and did not take it to heart at all.

Looking back now, if he had been smarter and listened to Zhuo Li, Xiao Shan and He Ningqiu wouldn't have been so arrogant.

After exchanging pleasantries, the shareholders' meeting officially began.

He Lianghan used slides to explain the group's strategic plan for next year, but the various unfamiliar terms left He Ziyu completely bewildered.

There are just too many things he doesn't understand.

Fortunately, there is still a long time before he actually takes over the company.

He Ziyu firmly believes that as long as he continues to work hard, one day he will be able to manage the entire group as well as his father.

……

After the meeting, He Lianghan spoke with a few shareholders and asked He Ziyu to go back to his office and wait.

There weren't many people on duty at the company on the weekend. A few employees were scattered around their workstations. Thinking that he would be fighting alongside them here in a few years, He Ziyu couldn't help but feel full of fighting spirit, and even his steps became lighter.

As a result, while turning the corner, I accidentally bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry..." He Ziyu quickly apologized.

The moment she looked up, her smile froze on her face.

"Lan Yuan?"

"He Ziyu?" Lan Yuan, probably not expecting to run into He Ziyu here, asked somewhat strangely, "What are you doing here?"

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" He Ziyu frowned. "This is my dad's company. Isn't it normal for me to be here? But what are you doing here at He's on the weekend?"

"I... was bored on the weekend, and my parents happened to come over to talk about work, so I came along."

Upon hearing this, He Ziyu looked Lan Yuan up and down.

This guy was dressed in a suit today, so he was obviously prepared.

But when it comes to work...

Does the He family have any cooperation with the Lan family?

He Ziyu hesitated for a moment, and when his gaze swept over Lan Yuan's crooked nose, he suddenly understood something.

"Your parents didn't bring you here to explain our company's recent investment in a cosmetic surgery project, did they?"

Lan Yuan was stunned for a moment, not yet realizing what he meant, when He Ziyu continued, "That medical aesthetic brand is pretty good. Many celebrities have had minor cosmetic procedures done there. Maybe your nose can be fixed too."

"..." Lan Yuan's expression turned extremely ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He Ziyu didn't give him a chance to lash out. He glanced at the time casually and said indifferently, "I suddenly remembered I have something to do, so I'll have to talk to you later."

After saying that, he shoved Lan Yuan's shoulder aside and walked straight to the office.

Watching He Ziyu's retreating figure, Lan Yuan clenched his fists, a surge of resentment welling up in his heart.

If it weren't for the fact that the Lan family needed something from the He family, he wouldn't have given He Ziyu any face at all.

It's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet...

He Ziyu is arrogant now, so let him continue to be arrogant. Anyway, when the time is right, he will still have to go back to being that useless sycophant.

……

He Ziyu returned to his office, opened his notebook, and used his father's computer to search for the technical terms he couldn't understand during the meeting, making annotations next to them.

Halfway through the search, He Ziyu stopped, leaned back in his chair, and seemed to be deep in thought.

Although the relationship between the He family and the Lan family has been lukewarm lately, it hasn't become so estranged that the legal representative needs to personally come over to discuss work.

The fact that Lan's parents had both come over, along with Lan Yuan, clearly indicates that something big has happened.

He Ziyu pinched the bridge of his nose and typed "Lan Group" into the search bar.

The next second, the company's official website and stock chart came into view.

He Ziyu opened the stock chart, looked at the continuously declining data, and suddenly realized...

In his previous life, the year he graduated from high school, the Lan family encountered an unprecedented economic crisis. At that time, Lan Yuan, who had always ignored him, suddenly changed his attitude and frequently tried to win him over.

He Ziyu was overjoyed when his crush, whom he had pursued for so many years, suddenly turned back to him. Without thinking twice, he agreed to be with Lan Yuan.

Later, the He family's assets were naturally injected into the Lan family, successfully helping them overcome the crisis.

He Ziyu stared at the computer screen, his heart growing colder with each thought.

His sincere efforts, full of expectation, were seen by others as nothing more than a tool that could be discarded after use.

But at that time, he was still immersed in his sweet dreams, naively believing that he had found true love...

In short, after the Lan family's economy returned to normal, Lan Yuan changed. He gradually stopped taking him out to eat and watch movies, and his attitude became impatient.

Looking back now, it wasn't Lan Yuan who changed; he simply became himself again.

He Ziyu closed the webpage, calmed himself down, and began to think about the Lan family crisis.

Due to the "butterfly effect," the timing of the Lan Clan crisis in this lifetime has been brought forward by nearly a year. Therefore, it is evident that the Lan family's personal visit today is also to resolve this matter.

No wonder that guy didn't dare utter a sound when he was making fun of Lan Yuan.

He Ziyu chuckled lightly, the pen twirling back and forth between his fingertips.

That bastard, he might already be thinking about how to come back and beg him for forgiveness.

The thought of that scene is disgusting.

While he was pondering, his phone on the table vibrated. He picked it up and found that it was a text message from an unknown number.

[Ayu, are you free at noon? Let's grab some lunch together. My parents say they haven't seen you in ages and want to catch up.]

Signed: Lan Yuan.

He Ziyu stared at his phone screen for a long while, then calmly replied with two words:

【OK. 】
