Rose Manor

Chapter 170 Encounter with Youxuan

The next morning, Fu Jichen, who had not shown up for a long time, attended the board of directors.

At the end of the two-hour meeting, a senior executive went to the president's office to discuss the project with Mr. Chen, but was told by his special assistant Song Fang that Mr. Chen had left the company and would talk about it in the afternoon.

When this incident reached Fu Jianfang's ears, she sneered slightly. Taking advantage of the old man's visit to the company today, she turned around and went to his home to complain, saying that Fu was a shameless person. He disappeared for more than ten days and stayed at the company for two hours. There was no sign of anyone, probably his mind was no longer in the company.

The old man listened and showed no dissatisfaction.

Fu Jianfang suddenly felt uncomfortable. The connotation in his words was that the old man was partial. He had slacked off like this and yet he dared to trust the company to him.

"Why don't you leave it to him and leave it to you?" The old man was sitting in his office, holding the teacup in his hand, looking at her with hatred, "What's going on with Wenying recently? They're getting divorced again, and the child is crying. Called me and said you were arguing, smashing a lot of things, and freaking him out.”

Fu Jianfang didn't expect that the complaint would be unsuccessful, but instead he got angry. He said with an awkward expression: "It's not my fault this time, it's him who is sorry for me. The night before yesterday, I had a cold and there was no medicine at home. I called him and asked him to come back and stop by the pharmacy to buy some cold medicine. Medicine, it was a woman who answered the phone, and she pretended to be an accidental caller, implying that Jia Wenying was shopping with her."

She got angry when she mentioned it, but she didn't feel aggrieved. After all, those women out there who relied on their reputation to get ahead only dared to provoke her over the phone. When they met in person, they could only kneel on the floor and shine her shoes.

To argue with them is to lower her status.

She was just angry at Jia Wenying's sanctimonious way of pretending to be polite in front of others, establishing an image of a good husband who loved his wife, and a good father who loved his children, but secretly he played with many women.

It was not worth getting angry at those women, so she took all her anger out on Jia Wenying, had a big fight with him, and almost got angry with him.

In the end, I just smashed some furniture out of concern for face.

The old man didn't want to hear her talk about the bad debts between husband and wife. He had a headache after hearing this, so he waved her to go and do his own thing.

Fu Jianfang angrily left the office on high heels. When he closed the door, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the old man picking up the landline on his desk and calling someone.

She kept an eye on it and walked slowly on purpose. She heard him ask the person on the other end of the phone: "Ji Chen, where are you now?"

Letting go of his hand and closing the door completely, Fu Jianfang raised the corners of his lips. It seemed that the old man was not indifferent to Fu Jichen's early departure.

In the office, Mr. Fu listened to his grandson explaining on the phone: "I have something to take care of and will come back to the company later."

The old man didn't ask whether he was dealing with official or private matters. He believed he was sensible and just said: "Go back to the old house in the evening. Grandpa has something to tell you."

Fu Jichen said "OK" and the call ended.

The car stopped slowly. He put away his mobile phone and looked up out of the car window. The words "Ode to Fengya" were engraved in running script on a dark brown plaque.

"Mr. Chen, we're here, right here."

The person driving Fu Jichen today was not Qu Mo, but Zheng Yi. He held the steering wheel with both hands, looked at the rearview mirror, and shouted a reminder.

Fu Jichen straightened his tie and walked into the private restaurant with a solemn expression.

Zheng Yi followed him in, preceded him to the front desk, negotiated with the staff on duty, and stated that Junshan Group's Chen always wanted to see the owner of their private restaurant. It didn't matter if the boss wasn't the manager. In short, he wanted to see the person in charge.

The word "Junshan Group" was heard like a thunderbolt, and everyone who had heard of it was wary of it. The staff no longer looked at the elegant man in business attire in the distance. They did not dare to hesitate at all and immediately picked up the landline and made a call.

After receiving the instructions, the front desk led people to the lounge inside and served a pot of Biluochun.

The decoration style in the lounge is simple and elegant, with rockeries, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions behind the floor-to-ceiling windows.May is the season when vegetation is lush. The plants are green in the sunshine, and are dotted with flowers of different colors, which complement each other.

Not long after waiting, a middle-aged man hurried over. He didn't bother to wipe the sweat off his forehead. He saw the man sitting on the wooden chair clearly and hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet him. He was still breathing heavily as he spoke: "Mr. Chen, I'm really sorry. It's rude of me to keep you waiting for a long time without saying anything. I hope you can stay for a meal and give me a chance to apologize."

The boss's face was full of smiles, and he was worried and happy at the same time. Although his place had received many dignitaries, it was really difficult to meet someone with the status of the person in charge of Junshan Group.

"Boss Yu, you're welcome." Fu Jichen shook hands with the other party and said in a gentle voice, "I came here rashly, as long as I don't cause you any trouble."

The middle-aged man was so frightened that he waved his hand and said no.

Fu Jichen didn't say any more unnecessary pleasantries, and directly stated the purpose of his visit: "I came here today to ask for your help with something."

Boss Yu was flattered and said: "You said, if I can do it, I will never shirk the blame."

While talking, Boss Yu was very puzzled. What help could he do to the Crown Prince of the Fu family?

Fu Jichen picked up the teapot and poured tea by himself. He said that it was not a big deal, and he wanted to ask him to monitor the situation for a day and let his men take it away.As for the reason, he did not say clearly.Boss Yu didn't ask him which day's surveillance video he wanted, and he agreed.

He thought it was such a big deal...

When he received the call from the front desk, he couldn't help but reflect on whether he had offended the Buddha in some way. Thinking about it now, it was a joke.

Boss Yu called the manager in front of him and asked him to come over and lead him to the monitoring room.

Fu Jichen glanced at Zheng Yi, who looked at him and nodded, then went out.

Boss Yu and Fu Jichen stayed in the lounge to drink tea and chat about some business experiences. Boss Yu once again persuaded him to stay for dinner.

Not long after waiting, Zheng Yi came back and whispered to Fu Jichen that the surveillance video of the day Miss Shen came over for dinner had been obtained.

Fu Jichen stood up, tidied his clothes, and said goodbye to Boss Yu: "I have other things to do next. I'll come back to taste your store's signature products when I have time next time."

"I understand, I understand, Chen is always a busy man." Boss Yu sent him out with a smile, "Then just wait and see for Mr. Chen's appreciation."

Zheng Yi listened to these polite words and couldn't help but glance at Fu Jichen. In fact, he could just come over for such a small matter. As long as he showed his identity, the owner of the private restaurant would not fail to cooperate.Even if you are an ordinary person, as long as you give a sufficient reason, they will be willing to help you check the surveillance. There is no need for the boss to go out personally.

He also didn't understand why his boss was condescending and put aside a lot of things to come here.

He guessed that maybe it was something related to Miss Shen that he paid special attention to.

After leaving the private restaurant, we walked to the parking lot. There was a Porsche parked next to the Maybach. The woman who got out of the driver's seat was wearing a light apricot silk shirt with a loose knot at the collar and white suit pants underneath.Her long hair is draped over her shoulders, and the diamond earrings on her earlobes are shining faintly in her black hair.

The woman had beautiful features and a soft temperament. Holding the car door with one hand, she casually glanced over and saw an extremely familiar face.

Seeing that the other party was about to get in the car, she couldn't care too much and hurriedly shouted: "Fu Jichen!"

When he heard someone calling his name, Fu Jichen paused and looked to the side. Although he hadn't seen her for several years, he recognized the woman with his good memory as the eldest daughter of the Xu family who studied abroad. Her name seemed to be Xu Youxuan.

Since she was about to return to China, he often heard her name at the old house.

Seeing her in person, Fu Jichen's heart was as calm as a deep pool.

Xu Youxuan closed the car door, locked the car, came over with the chain bag, stood beside him, and said calmly: "I called you last time and wanted to talk to you about the engagement. Please hang up on me. Yes. Since we met today, I will simply explain to you that the engagement is what my family wants, and I don’t want to and will not agree to it. During this time, I have been trying to resist my father and grandfather. I know you like it. people."

She paused and asked tentatively: "If you are sincere to Shen Jianian, you definitely don't agree to the engagement, right?"

After hearing this, Fu Jichen looked at this woman who was four years younger than her. She was as old as Fei Bai, but she showed more maturity than Fei Bai in her speech.

He remained silent, and Xu Youxuan suddenly felt unsure.

She knew that many men loved power, fame, and wealth more than the love of their children. Even if she saw Fu Jichen doting on a girl in the newspaper, she was not 100% sure that he would give up his marriage to the Xu family for that girl.

But she had no better choice.

The family has already drawn up the guest list, and the dress to be worn at the engagement banquet has been delivered to her room. There is not much time left for her, and she needs to know clearly what Fu Jichen means.

It was better for two people to resist than for her to struggle to her death alone.

Fu Jichen glanced at his watch. When he lowered his hand, he naturally dropped it into his trouser pocket and said in a calm tone: "This has nothing to do with you. I will give you the engagement party..."

He wanted to say that he would not attend. Even if he left all the guests in the hotel, he would not show up, even at the risk of embarrassing the Fu family, breaking up with the Xu family, and making the old man angry.

"Why doesn't it matter!" Xu Youxuan was anxious and cut her off before he could finish his words, "If you agree to the engagement, it will be a lot more difficult for me!"

She had thought about it. If her family insisted on forcing her, she would have no choice but to escape.

Seeing that the man was indifferent, Xu Youxuan took a deep breath and said, "Mrs. Fu has already contacted Shen Jianian. If you still want to save her, you'd better pay more attention."

Xu Youxuan didn't know yet about Shen Jiannian's car accident. She just looked at the sign of the private restaurant and suddenly thought of it and reminded him.

She came here today to have lunch with her boyfriend. They had eaten here last time. The food here was good, the environment was beautiful, and it was suitable for a heart-to-heart talk.
