Chapter 1695
Zoya couldn't believe it. As far as she knew, General had hoped that Ragib could take over his work, but now he supported Ragib to retire.
For this reason, Madam just sighed and said, "At this time, one person is different from the other. But now we feel that we shouldn't interfere with the future of the child. If he really wants to retire and transfer, we can't force him."
"Get changed?" Zoya widened her eyes. Did Special Assistant Shawn get it right that night?
Ragib retired from the army to change his job?
Madam nodded, picked up the porcelain cup, and took a sip of tea. "We talked to him. He said he wanted to do something else."
"What does he want to do?" Zoya clenched her fists.
Madam thought for a moment and said, "It seems that he once opened a security company after a retired subordinate. He wants to join it."
"A security company?"
Zoya frowned. "Is it... that family?"
In the past, when she went to Cesar to find Chloe, she had joined the team of the security company alone.
Seeing that Zoya did not speak, Madam gently shook her hand. "Zoya, I really like you, my future daughter-in-law. So, can I ask you for a favor as a future mother-in-law?"
Zoya was a little flattered and sat up straight. "Madam, you're too kind. If you have any advice, please feel free to tell me."
"Can you wait a little longer for Ragib?" Madam said, "I believe he will definitely propose to you. He really likes you.
Otherwise, he would not be engaged to you."
Zoya smiled bitterly. "I want to do this too..."
"Then..."
"That night, he told me that he couldn't marry me anymore." Zoya sighed. "Madam, you know that Ragib and I are not young anymore. Ragib is a man. It doesn't matter if we spend a few more years, but I am a woman... There will always be some prejudice against unmarried women in the secular world."
"He will marry you, I promise." Madam held her hand, and the warmth of her mother passed to Zoya's hand. Zoya looked at Madam with tears in her eyes.
"Madam, tell me, how long do you want me to wait for him? A few months? A few years?" Zoya lowered her head. "In fact, it's difficult to bear it without waiting for him."
Madam held her hand and slowly loosened it. She said slowly, "I am also a woman, and I can understand your mood. So, please don't blame me. I just don't want to lose you, my future daughter-in-law. I don't mean to force you."
Zoya looked up at her.
Madam continued, "In fact, because of the retirement of Ragib, the Ragib family has already talked to the Zhan family on the phone."
"What? Did you call my family?" Zoya was shocked. Her mother had been calling her these days. She knew that her mother must have asked about Ragib, so she could not return to the Zhan family.
So he simply did not answer the phone.
Madam smiled at Zoya. "You should know that you and Ragib are connected through marriage, and the marriage between families is a mutually beneficial relationship. Now that you have confirmed that Ragib will not be able to develop in Hn territory after retirement, you should know what reaction the Zhan family will have."
Zoya's heart skipped a beat. "Don't tell me?"
"Maybe it's too sudden. Your father and Ragib's father don't want to lose their superficial friendship for a while. After all, there is still a cooperation relationship between the region of ZY and the region of H," said Madam. "They didn't talk. The phone call was made by your mother and me. But we all know that your mother's call represents the attitude of the two families toward your marriage with Ragib."
Zoya clutched the corner of her clothes and slowly lowered her head. "Then, what did my mother say?"
"Mrs. Zhan said that the matter of Ragib's retirement didn't inform the Zhan family in advance. Considering the nature of your marriage with Ragib, Ragib's retirement is really irresponsible to the Zhan family and this marriage." Speaking of this, Madam smiled and poured tea for herself. Zoya quickly poured a cup of tea for her before she could.
Madam took a sip and said to her, "The Ragib family has no objection to Mrs. Zhan's statement. After all, it was his sudden decision to retire."
"And then..." Zoya asked.
"Mrs. Zhan said that whether this marriage should continue or not depends on the Zhan family." Madam looked at Zoya. "So, the Zhan family may cancel your marriage with Ragib."
"No!" Looking at the helplessness on Madam's face, Zoya clenched her fists angrily. "This is my business. Why should they make decisions for me?"
"But your marriage is related to the Ragib and Zhan families."
"This is my business!" Zoya stood up. Finally, Madam said, "Zoya, I hope you can become the future daughter-in-law of the Ragib family, so I just said that I hope you can wait for Ragib. But according to what Mrs. Zhan said, it is also a loss for us to not discuss the matter of Ragib's retirement with you. Therefore, we have no objection to your decision or the engagement of the Zhan family."
Zoya's heart was in a mess when she heard that.
She clenched her fists. "Madam, I want to ask... Is this also Ragib's idea?"
"It doesn't matter even if they break off the engagement?"
What did Ragib think?
So he had been hiding from her these days?
Madam thought for a moment and shook her head. "No, this is the meaning of the Ragib family. In fact, he hasn't returned to the Ragib family for a few days."
After leaving the tea house, Zoya couldn't calm down for a long time. Sitting in the car, her forehead pressed against the steering wheel. She buried her face and thought for a long time. She still couldn't understand why such a thing suddenly happened.
Originally, she and Ragib should have talked about marriage soon!
In the end, she came to the conclusion that all this was caused by Ragib's sudden retirement!
Zoya had been to the security company run by her comrade-in-arms Ragib once. She knew a little about it, and it was called the "Director Security Company". Although it was not one of the best security companies in Country, after all, it had only been opened for less than ten years. However, in the security industry, its reputation was very good. Because of the business it was engaged in, there had never been any mistakes. From the boss to the core employees of the company, most of them were retired or retired, so the requirements for customers were very high.
The international security company was located in the center of the city. Because it had been getting bigger and bigger in recent years, its reputation had become more and more imposing. It occupied two floors of a commercial building in the center of the city.
As soon as Zoya entered the glass door of the security company, the receptionist greeted her. "Hello, Miss Zhan. What can I do for you?"
Not to mention the reason why Zoya came back, Zoya was also a celebrity now. After all, there were a few people who didn't know about Ragib's fiancee.
Seeing the subtle smile on the receptionist's face, Zoya knew that she was here to find Ragib.
Zoya walked over and put her elbow on the front desk. "Is Ragib here?"
The receptionist smiled. "Yes... But to be exact, Ragib is now the boss of our company. He will come to the company often in the future."
"What? Boss?"
Zoya widened her eyes in anger.
"Miss Zhan, don't you know?" The receptionist thought that Zoya knew about it, so she was a little surprised. "A few days ago, Ragib joined the company. Our original boss was promoted to the chairman. Ragib is now our boss and chief coach."
Zoya was so angry that her hands were trembling and her shoulders were trembling. Sure enough... he immediately started his business after he retired, and he even transferred to another business. This was basically a business after he retired, okay?
He didn't even have the time to start working at home. How long had it been since he announced his retirement?
"Has he changed from a major general to the boss of a security company?"
Zoya shook hands with her knuckles creaking. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Where is he now?"
The receptionist was shocked by her face. Ragib should be in the company's training base now."
Zoya turned around and left angrily again.
This was only a place for the security company to receive customers and accept orders. As for the official security company, the employees of the company would be trained and the training place would naturally not be here.
But last time, Zoya had been to that training base. It was when she had participated in that personal security team to go to Cesar.
At this time, in the large sports ground of the security company training base, there were more than 60 newcomers standing. In the early winter of the cold, they wore t-shirt and stood straight with their hands behind their backs. Opposite them, several assistant instructors were rushing toward them with strong water pipes.
Under the bone-chilling impact of the water, several newcomers gritted their teeth and persisted, their faces turning purple.
