After some days su ye noticed that he was getting lot more attention after he had started dating Zhi ruo and also many girls started to get close to him. Looking at things developing in this way the Zhi and the Su family were also happy. When Zhi ruo was 16 years old both families decided to get the childrens engaged after Zhi ruo turned 18 and then after Zhi ruo"s graduation they would be married.Zhi ruo was a obedient child and su ye was always kind to her. Thinking it would be good for everyone she accepted the decision made by elders. But soon she started regretting her choice as Su ye started excersing his rights as a potential husband and started harra.s.sing her. At first Zhi ruo tought it would be just out of curiosity and tried to talk to su ye but when things started developing to the point of no return she threatened to disclose his behaviour to her parents.
" My dear ruoruo, what do you think ? Is our marriage as simple as you think?
Dont you know its like a business deal, even if you tell your parents theres nothing that can be changed.
But if my family decides to withdraw investment in your company projects then the Zhi family will crumble into pieces."
Hearing what su ye said Zhi ruo was scared, she knew about marriages like this which happened to keep business strong and going. But never in her wildest dreams she expected that her marrage with Su ye was one of them.
Unfortunately when Zhi ruo arrived home she saw her father and brother discussing about a project which was bery important for their company and was funded by the su family. Zhi ruo went towards them and spoke
" Father, is this project very important? "
When her father nodded she asked
" What would happen if su family pulls out its investment?"
Looking at his daughter asking thsi questions father Zhi was amazed as she never showed her interest in business. Thinking this was a good opportunity to polish her intrest he told her what a company faces when an important and a long time investor withdraws his capital. The questions that a share holders ask and how the share prices drop with the probability of a company unable to handle the situation and ultimately declaring bankrupcy.
Zhi Ruo didnt knew what her father told her was about what happens to an ordinary company with loose foundation and underqualified leader instead of Zhi company. Haering her fathers answer Zhi ruo understood what Su Ye told her was truth and decided not to share Su Ye"s advanvces with anyone.
In order to avoid Su Ye Zhi ruo kept herself busy and started distancing herself from him which aws obviously disliked by Su Ye. Tough he kept finding chances to pester Zhi ruo,but Zhi ruo was smarter than him except the dinner date.
On her 18 th birthday it was decided that the engagement would be done after 6 months and it wsa still a month away. Su ye knew that their engagement rings were not yet chosen and he and Zhi ruo had to personally go and select them so he asked her to come for dinner and then they can go and choose the engagement ring.
