Rose Manor

Under the hot sunlight at noon, after Xu Youxuan said those words, she suddenly felt a cold wind blowing. She raised her eyes to look at Fu Jichen's face and found that his brows were condensed, as if he was considering something.

For a long time, Fu Jichen's thin lips moved and he said word by word: "How do you know she has been to Shen Jianian?"

Xu Youxuan was frightened by his dark expression. For a moment, she didn't hear anything wrong with him calling her mother "she": "Last time I came to this private restaurant to eat, I met Shen Jianian in the bathroom. Her state at that time It was very bad. Not long after, I saw Mrs. Fu coming out of the box. I didn’t think there was such a coincidence. They should have talked about it. "

Zheng Yi, who was standing behind Fu Jichen, could not see his boss's expression. He could only see from his back that he seemed to be quite shocked.

Zheng Yi thought to himself that for the current boss, the word "Shen Jianian" was the most unheard of.

The man's back stood frozen for a long time, and the hand in his trouser pocket slowly clenched. He heard his voice asking for confirmation again and again: "You said she was in a bad state at the time?"

Xu Youxuan still had memories of what happened that day and nodded: "She was lying on the sink vomiting violently. There wasn't much blood on her face and her eyes were red. I suggested she go to the hospital. She said she just had an upset stomach. Maybe She ate something bad. She probably didn’t recognize me and left after that.”

Every word Xu Youxuan said was stabbing Fu Jichen in the heart.

Her stomach is upset, her stomach is upset...

This sentence appeared repeatedly in Fu Jichen's mind, and suddenly he thought of Lu Yanzhi's guess. His whole body felt like he had been hit hard, and he almost lost his balance.

"Mr. Chen..." Seeing this, Zheng Yi stepped forward and held his arm.

Xu Youxuan was so frightened by Fu Jichen's sad look that her eyes widened.She asked herself that everything she said was true and not exaggerated, but Fu Jichen's reaction at the moment gave her the feeling that he didn't want to believe what she said.

Suddenly, a whistle sounded nearby.

A car slowly backed into the parking space next to the Porsche.

Xu Youxuan recognized that it was her boyfriend's car. She regained her composure and said goodbye to Fu Jichen: "I have said everything that needs to be said. No matter what you think, my attitude will not change."

The car door was pushed open, and the man came out of the cab, holding the car keys in his hand. He glanced at Fu Jichen in front of Xu Youxuan, and looked at him for a moment, obviously knowing him.

Xu Youxuan grabbed the chain bag with both hands and trotted to her boyfriend: "Let's go."

Her boyfriend held her wrist naturally and looked away from Fu Jichen: "That's... Mr. Chen from Junshan? Why is he here?"

"I met him by chance and chatted with him for a few words." Xu Youxuan said, "I told him that I would not get engaged to him."

When the engagement was mentioned, Chu Siyuan's heart was stirred up for no reason. The fingers holding her wrist tightened a little: "What did he say?"

Xu Youxuan moved to the right and walked forward close to her boyfriend's arm. She deliberately lowered her voice and muttered: "I don't know what's going on. He looks weird today. He is different from the Fu Jichen in my impression." . He didn’t express his opinion, but based on my guess, he probably didn’t have much expectations for the engagement.”

Chu Siyuan said: "I want to find an opportunity to meet your parents and your grandparents, sit down with them and have a good chat about our affairs, let them respect your wishes and express my determination to be with you. . When necessary, I can also ask my parents to come to Beicheng. It should be more convenient for the elders to communicate. "

Xu Youxuan was moved, but had to tell him the cruel truth: "It's useless. No matter how I try to communicate with them, they still insist on going their own way and don't give me the right to choose. At worst, I will run away. I was so good before, they You must have never thought that I would fail in such a big matter."

"Don't be like this, Youxuan." Chu Siyuan stopped, held her shoulders with both hands, lowered his head slightly, kept eye level with her, looked into her eyes and said seriously, "I don't want to give up because of our feelings. You had a quarrel with your family, and you said that your mother loved you very much, and it would hurt her too much. Until the matter reaches that point, you are not allowed to be stupid. "

"I know."

Xu Youxuan promised that she would not mess around.

While eating, the two discussed how to get the best of both worlds.

At 01:30 in the afternoon, Fu Jichen returned to the headquarters of Junshan Group. He had no time for lunch, so Song Fang sent a stack of documents that he needed to review.

After dealing with this, several senior executives who had not seen Fu Jichen in the morning came over and discussed with him in detail the several decisions proposed at the board of directors, as well as the project promotion plan.

Several executives left one after another, and it was almost five o'clock.Fu Jichen raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, then took a few sips of the cool tea on the table.

In the corridor, the two executives met in front of the elevator and exchanged in a low voice: "This one has to be in charge. He was a little tougher, but the effect was immediate. I heard that during the half year of training in Yicheng, The profit of Dongke subsidiary has doubled several times.”

"When I mentioned Dong Ke, I remembered that Dong Ke's business had been suppressed by Mr. Pei in the past." Another executive added, "Pei's company has been experiencing internal turmoil recently and has been in decline. Dong Ke took the opportunity to overtake him in the field of medical equipment. There is a trend of being the leader.”

When the elevator reached this floor, two executives entered and continued chatting: "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter what, the Pei family has been standing for six to seventy years. It is impossible for it to fall casually. According to rumors in the industry, soon There will be a new executive in place.”

"Those old guys from the Pei family are not vegetarians. How can the newcomers get the right to speak?"

"That's not clear."

The topic turned around and returned to the inside of Junshan Group.

"Nowadays, among the Fu family's managers, the eldest Fu Zhengyun is too conservative and unwilling to innovate, the second eldest Fu Qizhen is too radical and has no brains, the third eldest Fu Huaxian has been involved in the scandal, and does not have enough prestige in the company to convince the public. The fourth eldest Fu Jianfang is too radical. He is smart, but he is too smart and wants to grasp everything in his hands. He is a complete mess. No wonder Fu Dong skipped his own children and handed over the power to his grandson. "

"Who said it wasn't..."

The sound of conversation died down as the elevator descended.

This afternoon, Zheng Yi stayed in the company, borrowed a computer from the secretary's office, and repeatedly watched the surveillance video copied from the private restaurant.

Mr. Chen had already believed most of what Miss Xu said at noon. Let him watch the surveillance video just for final confirmation.

Seeing that the time came to five o'clock, President Chen should have finished his work. Zheng Yi unplugged the USB flash drive, turned off the computer, got up and went to the president's office.

There was no one else in the office at the moment. Fu Jichen was sitting behind the desk, his hands clasped together loosely and resting on the edge of the table. He seemed to be in a leisurely and relaxed state.

But Zheng Yi didn't think he felt the same way.

Meeting his eyes, before he could ask, Zheng Yi nodded and said, "Mrs. Fu did meet Miss Shen in that private restaurant. According to the surveillance video in the corridor, Mrs. Fu went there in the evening and waited in the box. After more than half an hour, Miss Shen entered the private room. The two chatted for a short time. After Miss Shen came out, she went to the bathroom. After our car drove away, Mrs. Fu left from the private restaurant. "

Because there is no camera in the box, it is impossible to spy on the status of the two people chatting.

After Zheng Yi finished speaking, the office was quiet for a while.

Fu Jichen picked up his fingers from the table, put them against his chin, and turned his gaze to the floor-to-ceiling window.

After all, he took some things for granted. He thought that warning Wei Ronghua not to interfere in his affairs would stop her from thinking about it.He thought that by sending someone to follow Shen Jianian at all times, he could ensure that she was fine.

Zhou Zhizhen's lesson is clearly right in front of him.The girlfriend he had dated during college, when he graduated, he still envisioned the two of them getting married and having children, and they would be happy, but in the blink of an eye, he was dragged away on the way home from his internship company.

Zhou Zhizhen called him in the middle of the night. A grown man cried and retched on the phone, begging him to save the girl. He said that if he went, the Zhou family would never let her go in the future.

Fu Jichen's throat tightened as the memories came back. Didn't he know how dirty the people in the house were?He clearly knows it better than anyone else!
Zheng Yi left the office silently without disturbing him.

In fact, he and Mr. Chen knew very well that Mrs. Fu chose to meet Miss Shen alone in such a hidden private restaurant and would not have anything nice to say to her.

Then there are traces of Miss Shen leaving Beicheng overnight.

Twenty minutes later, Fu Jichen came out of the office. He was wearing a crisp black suit and a serious look. The collar and cuffs of his white shirt were pressed flat. As usual, his whole person exuded the authority of a superior, and his demeanor was as calm as before. There was a bit of coldness hidden in him, but I didn't see anything wrong with him.

He told Zheng Yi: "Go back to your old home."

Fu Jianfang: Damn it, you actually called me a troublemaker behind my back!
