The engagement is over, but the black-bellied president won't let go

With Leng Ruofei's efforts, her national cheongsam brand has gradually gained a firm foothold in the market. She has not only received widespread praise at home, but also attracted the attention of foreign customers.

Once, a French customer showed great interest in her cheongsam design and hoped to cooperate with her. Leng Ruofei personally communicated with the other party to understand their needs and ideas. In order to meet their requirements, she invested in a new round of design and production.

During that time, she not only had to deal with domestic orders, but also had to take care of cooperation with foreign customers. She had to work more than ten hours a day, but she never complained.

"This cooperation is a great opportunity, and we must do our best." Leng Ruofei encouraged everyone in the studio.

Finally, the cooperation was successfully completed, and Leng Ruofei's national cheongsam successfully entered the international market. With her efforts and talents, she let the world see the charm of traditional Chinese clothing.

However, success did not stop Leng Ruofei. She knew that if she wanted the national cheongsam to gain a long-term foothold in the fashion industry, she must continue to innovate and develop. So she began new explorations and attempts, combining modern elements with traditional craftsmanship, and launched a series of more fashionable and practical cheongsam works.

During this process, Leng Ruofei also encountered many difficulties and challenges. Sometimes, the market feedback was not as expected, which made her feel lost and confused. But she never gave up easily, but carefully analyzed the problems and looked for solutions.

"We cannot be defeated by temporary difficulties. We must believe in our designs and the charm of ethnic cheongsam." Leng Ruofei encouraged everyone at a meeting in the studio.

Under the leadership of Leng Ruofei, the team members of the studio worked together to overcome difficulties one after another. Their efforts paid off, the influence of the brand continued to expand, and more and more people became fans and followers of the national cheongsam.

As her business continues to expand, Leng Ruofei also actively participates in public welfare activities, combining ethnic cheongsam with public welfare. She organizes cheongsam charity sales and donates the proceeds to children in poor areas so that they can receive better education.

"I hope that through my efforts, I can not only let people appreciate the beautiful cheongsam, but also make a contribution to society." Leng Ruofei stood in front of the bright French window, the sun pouring down on her, outlining a layer of golden edges for her graceful figure. Her eyes flashed with a determined light, which contained expectations and ambitions for the future.

She was wearing a simple and elegant cheongsam. The delicate silk fabric fit her body perfectly, showing her graceful curves. The delicate flowers embroidered on the cheongsam seemed to sway gently in the breeze, vivid and lifelike. Leng Ruofei gently stroked the cuffs of the cheongsam, his thoughts flying, as if he saw his dream blooming little by little like this gorgeous embroidery.

She slowly turned around and faced the exquisite cheongsams displayed in the room. These cheongsams have their own characteristics, some are brightly colored, some are simple and elegant, and each one has been poured with countless efforts and emotions. Leng Ruofei's eyes lingered on these works, and her heart was full of pride and satisfaction.

At this moment, the phone on the table suddenly rang with a crisp ring, breaking the silence in the room. Leng Ruofei was slightly startled, and her eyes cast on the phone screen. When she saw Xiao Yiyang's name on the caller ID, she couldn't help but feel a little confused. Xiao Yiyang never called her during working hours. Could something urgent have happened?

Leng Ruofei was full of confusion. He quickly picked up the phone, swiped his finger lightly, put the phone to his ear, and said anxiously, "Hello? Yi Yang?"

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Yiyang's voice was a little low and hurried: "Fei'er, something happened at home." These simple words exploded in Leng Ruofei's ears like a heavy bomb. Her face turned pale in an instant, and her heart suddenly tightened. An ominous premonition enveloped her.

"Yi Yang, what's wrong? Tell me quickly!" Leng Ruofei's voice trembled, and the hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously.

Xiao Yiyang took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm: "Dad was taken away by the disciplinary inspection agency."

Leng Ruofei felt her mind go blank, her body swayed, and she almost lost her balance. Xiao Zhengchun, the head of the Public Security Bureau, was about to retire. After she married into the family, she knew her father-in-law was an upright cadre. How could he be suddenly taken away by the disciplinary inspection agency? She didn't dare to imagine what this meant.

"Fei'er, don't panic, we'll go back soon. I'm on the way to pick you up, come downstairs in ten minutes." Xiao Yiyang's voice came with a hint of comfort.

Leng Ruofei suppressed his inner panic and nodded, even though Xiao Yiyang couldn't see it: "Okay, I'll clean it up right away."

After hanging up the phone, Leng Ruofei hurriedly ended the meeting, briefly explained to Qiao Liu, packed up her things, and knocked over a few books on the table in her haste, but she had no time to care. She grabbed her handbag and walked out in a hurry.

Along the way, Leng Ruofei's mood was like the rolling waves, and she couldn't calm down for a long time. Various thoughts kept flashing through her mind, guessing why Xiao Zhengchun was taken away. Was it a misunderstanding? Or did he really make a mistake? She didn't dare to think too much, and just hoped to return home quickly to understand the situation clearly.

Xiao Yiyang had been waiting downstairs for a long time. His face was gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of anxiety. Seeing Leng Ruofei coming, he hurried to greet him.

"Yi Yang, what's going on?" Leng Ruofei asked impatiently as soon as they met.

Xiao Yiyang shook his head. "I don't know much either. I just received news that my father was taken away by the disciplinary inspection agency. I don't know the specific circumstances."

Leng Ruofei bit his lip and said, "Then let's go to Qin Lan's house quickly, maybe they know more."

Xiao Yiyang nodded, and the two quickly got in the car. Xiao Yiyang sat in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, stepped on the accelerator, and the car sped away like an arrow from a bow.

The atmosphere in the car was extremely solemn. Leng Ruofei looked at the scenery outside the window that was rapidly receding, and her uneasiness became stronger. She tried to calm herself down and think about the various situations she might face next.

Xiao Yiyang stared intently at the road ahead with a serious expression. He kept recalling his recent conversation with his father in his mind, trying to find some clues, but everything seemed normal, with no signs of abnormality.

The car was speeding on the highway, and the wind blew in through the gaps in the car window, ruffling Leng Rufei's hair. But she was completely unaware, and just tightly grasped the bag strap in her hand, her knuckles turning white from the force.

Finally, the car arrived at the door of Qin Lan's house. Xiao Yiyang and Leng Ruofei rushed out of the car almost at the same time and walked quickly towards the gate.

Before entering the door, I heard bursts of noisy noises coming from inside the house, including crying, sighing, and anxious discussions.

Xiao Yiyang and Leng Ruofei pushed the door open and saw that their eldest brother was already in the room with worry written all over his face.

"Yi Yang, Ruofei, you are here." Qin Lan said in a hoarse voice with red and swollen eyes.

Xiao Yiyang asked anxiously: "Mom, what happened? Why was Dad taken away by the disciplinary inspection agency?"

Qin Lan shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes again, and she said in a trembling voice, "I don't know either. A group of people suddenly came this morning when your father and I were having dinner. They said your father was suspected of committing a crime and needed to cooperate with the investigation. They searched the house, took away some notebooks and some cash. Then they took your father away without saying anything."

Xiao Yiyang slammed his fist on the table. "Why on earth is this happening? There must be some misunderstanding!"

Xiao Yichen quickly comforted them: "Mom, Yiyang, don't worry, there may be some misunderstanding. Yiyang, you should find out now. You must trust Dad and the organization."

Everyone fell silent, and a heavy atmosphere filled the room.

Xiao Yiyang frowned, as if a heavy mountain was pressing on his forehead, and the deep sorrow seemed to be able to drip water. The surroundings were almost suffocatingly silent, and the air seemed to have condensed into a thick layer of ice, and every breath seemed so difficult. In this depressing atmosphere, he finally made up his mind to take the initiative, even if he could only find a little bit of useful information, it would be better than being in a fog like now, full of anxiety but at a loss.

He slowly took out his cell phone, his movements seemed a little mechanical, his fingers quickly sliding through the address book. The light from the screen reflected his tense face, his eyes were full of determination and eagerness. Finally, his eyes fixed on the number of a familiar leader in the agency, and without any hesitation, he decisively dialed it.

The moment the call was connected, Xiao Yiyang felt his heartbeat become more and more intense like a dense drumbeat. He pressed the phone tightly to his ear, as if it was the only channel connecting him to hope. His whole body unconsciously leaned forward slightly, his ear wishing it could drill into the phone, anxiously waiting for the other party to answer the call.

"Hello?" A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. However, to Xiao Yiyang at this moment, the voice seemed to come from a distant sky, unreal and full of uncertainty.

Xiao Yiyang took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling greatly. He tried his best to control his trembling voice and keep it steady: "Uncle Li, it's me, Xiao Yiyang. Do you know anything about my dad's situation?"

The other party was silent for a few seconds, but these few short seconds seemed like centuries to Xiao Yiyang. The silence on the other end of the phone was like a cold wind, chilling his heart inch by inch.

Finally, the other party spoke, with a slightly embarrassed tone: "Yi Yang, this matter... We have rules here, you know. It happened suddenly, and I have a meeting later, you see..."
