Rose Manor

Switzerland, at five o'clock in the afternoon, Fu Jichen was sitting in the hotel's Western restaurant. There was only a cup of steaming black coffee on the table in front of him.

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch for the third time. He had been sitting here for more than half an hour, and there was still no one he wanted to see.

He was brave enough to make the president of Junshan Group wait for half an hour.

The weather in Switzerland has been bad recently, there is no sunshine, and the sky is dark.Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, workers were building roads. Yellow warning signs were put up and cordons were pulled up. A heavy-duty pressure truck slowly drove over not far away. It looked like the roads were being re-paved.

Fu Jichen thought that if the delay continued, he didn't know whether the car would be able to drive out.

After waiting for another 5 minutes, the sightseeing elevator stopped at this floor. The door opened and a man in a suit and leather shoes walked out. He was adjusting his cuffs as he walked. His black handmade leather shoes were shiny and he was wearing a Patek Philippe watch.His real age is over fifty. Judging from his appearance alone, people would think that he is just over forty and his face is more elegant.Although he seems to have the aura of a superior, it does not bring too much pressure.

The man walked over, pulled out the chair opposite Fu Jichen, and sat down.

"Mr. Jean Chen has been waiting for a long time. We have a meeting upstairs. The assistant forgot to remind me." The middle-aged man's heavy eyes fell on Fu Jichen's face.

Upon closer inspection, the facial features of the two people are actually very similar.

Fu Jichen picked up the coffee cup and took a sip. Anyone with a little bit of brains could tell that this was an excuse.A faint smile appeared on Fu Jichen's handsome face: "Mr. Xiao is busy acquiring the equity of Junshan Group and dismantling the cooperation with Junshan Group. Of course, he can't spare time to meet with me."

There was a smile on his face, but no specific emotion could be discerned in his tone. At least to Xiao Hesheng's ears, there was no anger.

Also, Fu Jichen is now more respected than his father and sits in a position second only to the chairman. Of course, he has developed the ability to hide his emotions and anger.

"Mr. Chen gave me a name card. No matter how busy I am, I have to come over. Tell me what you need from me."

After Xiao Hesheng said this, he raised his hand to call the waiter and ordered a drink in German. Just like Fu Jichen, he didn't add any black coffee.

The smile on Fu Jichen's face deepened and he said straight to the point: "Isn't Mr. Xiao knowingly asking questions? In order to disturb the Huangjunshan project, Mr. Xiao personally flew to Switzerland despite his busy schedule and promised Lawrence more gold and silver than he could eat in three lifetimes. Shan, as a businessman, I'm afraid there are few businessmen like Mr. Xiao who ignore the opportunity to make money and insist on doing business at a loss."

Xiao Hesheng's clear voice was full of sarcasm: "It's only been a few hours since we landed, but you investigated clearly."

"Now that both parties' intentions are known, let's open the sky and tell the truth. How can Mr. Xiao be willing to stop? Why don't you just say it directly and I will consider it at my discretion." Fu Jichen said this not because he was afraid of him, but just wanted to use it in the shortest possible time. The quickest way is to resolve this matter and return home.

He has more important things to deal with and doesn't have so much time to waste here.

The waiter brought the coffee ordered by Xiao Hesheng. Xiao Hesheng nodded politely, thanked the person, and turned his eyes back to the face of the man opposite.

This was his first time dealing with Fu Jichen. From the moment he sat down, he looked at Fu Jichen many times, and he increasingly felt that his features gave him a sense of familiarity.

Xiao Hesheng withdrew his gaze and looked out the French window: "I came to see you just out of curiosity, wondering what kind of person is in charge of Junshan now. In fact, I have nothing to talk to you. If it were your father sitting here today, I would Maybe you can even have a few words with him, but as for you, there is absolutely no need to waste your time."

What Xiao Hesheng said was merciless, and it could even be said that he put Fu Jichen's face on the ground.

Fu Jichen was not angry at all, and heard Xiao Hesheng continue: "From the moment I took action, I had no intention of hiding in secret. I have made my hostility towards your Fu family clear. Lawrence's matter is just the beginning, no. Purchasing Fu Yunhan's shares is just the beginning. In the future, we will have more and more confrontations with the Fu family, but I hope that next time, it will be your father who comes to talk to me. He is like a shrunken turtle, hiding in the Fu family Under his protection, it’s time to come out and meet old friends.”

Xiao Hesheng picked up the coffee cup on the saucer and took a sip.

Fu Jichen did not comment on his words.

Xiao Hesheng glanced at his watch, put down the coffee he had only taken a sip of, moved his chair and stood up, saying "goodbye" to end the meeting.

"Can I ask why?" Fu Jichen leaned against the back of the chair motionlessly, with his hands intertwined and resting on his overlapping knees. His eyes calmly moved up to look at Xiao Hesheng.

The gray sky shrouded Xiao Hesheng's face, making his gentle face a bit gloomy.

"Because your mother is the executioner and your father is the accomplice, your Fu family owes me two lives. I didn't let your Fu family kill people to pay for their lives." Xiao Hesheng's tone was not serious, but he was holding the hand on the back of the chair. The veins in his hand were stretched, which was enough to show the resentment he held back. Fu Jichen stared at the bony hand calmly. Under the table, his interlocked fingers tightened, and this was indeed what he was thinking.

Xiao Hesheng didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he stepped up to leave, but he heard Fu Jichen's unhurried voice coming from behind him: "You mean Xiao Heting?"

Xiao Hesheng's pupils trembled and he turned back to look at the person sitting there.

It has been 30 years since he heard the name "Xiao Heting" mentioned.

She was his only sister, the only relative he had left in the world after her parents passed away. However, he failed to take good care of her and made her fall in love with a man she shouldn't have loved, and she ended up with two lives. end.In her best years, she should have been carefree, but she died in a foreign land.

When others hear the name "Xiao Heting", they might think he is a boy.

The parents originally gave their sister this name because they hoped that she would not have to be restricted by gender and could be like a man and do what she wanted to do.

In fact, his sister's personality was indeed like a boy's in some aspects, resolute, decisive and independent. This was why he was relieved to leave her alone in the mainland while he concentrated on his career in Hong Kong City.

He didn't expect that such a person would fall headlong into the pit of love and get stuck in the mud.

His parents died in a plane crash, and he and his sister depended on each other.

My sister has been obsessed with calligraphy and painting since she was a child. At the age of 17, she came to Yicheng on the mainland from Hong Kong City and became a disciple of calligraphy master Long Qishan.

The brother and sister usually communicate by phone, and they make three or five phone calls almost every week.

Once, Xiao Hesheng heard his sister mention a man on the phone. That was not the first time Xiao Hesheng heard the name "Fu Zhengyun".As a businessman, he has long heard that the eldest son of the Fu family is a well-known Confucian businessman with outstanding abilities at a young age. The most praised thing about him is that he has a gentleman's demeanor, unlike other businessmen who are decisive and profit-seeking.

Fu Zhengjun went to Yicheng on a business trip that year and visited Master Long Qishan, with the purpose of asking him for a painting and calligraphy to celebrate the birthday of his father at home.

It was there that he met Xiao Heting and fell in love at first sight.

After Xiao Heting passed away, Xiao Hesheng packed up his sister's belongings and saw her description of that day in a diary.

Yicheng is always cloudy and rainy in the autumn, and the sun is often not seen for most of the month. But that day, it was sunny and windy, with no clouds in the sky. It was a rare good weather.She was practicing calligraphy in the pavilion. Her waist-length hair was half tied with a wooden hairpin, and she was wearing a moon-white blouse and long skirt. The wind blew and blew the rice paper full of words on the stone table onto the cobblestone path outside the pavilion.At that time, the housekeeper happened to lead Fu Zhengyun through the Moon Cave Gate, and a piece of rice paper floated end-to-end on his feet.

He bent down to pick it up, and first saw the majestic and elegant fonts on it. He admired it. When he raised his eyes, he caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure in the pavilion.

Xiao Heting turned back with a brush in hand, and the look between the two of them seemed like they were destined to meet, and fate tied a knot for them at that moment.

After that, Fu Zhengyun frequently visited Master Long Qishan's residence after work. The two fell in love with each other while talking about poetry and painting, and they made a lifelong commitment.

Xiao Hesheng, who was far away in Hong Kong City, supported the company on his own after his parents passed away. The elders refused to accept him, and there were constant fights within the company. He was really too busy to take care of his sister.

When she talked to Xiao Heting on the phone again, it was the day she expected to return to Hong Kong City, but she vaguely said that she was not feeling well and would not go back for the time being.

She stayed there for more than half a month. Later, when she realized that she could no longer hide it, she hesitantly admitted that she was pregnant and that the fetus in her belly was Fu Zhengyun's.

At that time, Fu Zhengjun's affairs in Yicheng had been completed and he returned to Beicheng.

Xiao Hesheng became angry with his sister for the first time. He scolded her on the phone for not knowing how to love herself and that she should not have had a child with a man without any preparation. He also asked Fu Zhengjun if he knew about her pregnancy.

Xiao Heting had her own pride and confessed to her brother, but she hadn't told Fu Zhengyun yet.Xiao Hesheng still remembers his sister's gentle voice on the phone, filled with the joy of becoming a mother for the first time. She said: "Zheng Jun told me before he left that he would ask his family for permission when he returned and officially hire our Xiao family. Wait. When he proposes to me, I will tell him the good news. Brother, I am getting married."

However, after waiting for a long time in Yicheng, she received the news that Fu's eldest son was about to be engaged to the daughter of the Wei family.
