Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Secretary Yu’s birthday gift to me is very…

Yu Wan had already cleared the software from the background, so naturally she didn't notice it.

The holiday was only two short days. Yu Wan was busy with housework and finishing work on the first day, and lay on the sofa on the second day. He only went out in the evening to help Grandma Lin, who lived on the first floor, walk her pet Teddy dog ​​named Fa Cai as exercise.

Fa Cai was a two-year-old male dog with fine brown curly hair and a lace wreath around his neck. He was dressed very cutely, but he exercised surprisingly little. Yu Wan pulled him around the neighborhood a few times, and Fa Cai was so tired that he stuck out his tongue and refused to move. He bit the leash and barked at Yu Wan twice to express his dissatisfaction. Therefore, Yu Wan carried Fa Cai in her arms for the second half of the journey.

After all, it's a puppy, so just pamper it a little.

On Thursday morning, Yu Wan went to the company early as usual and went downstairs to buy breakfast for Fu Zhiyao on time. Unless there were special circumstances, Yu Wan would not skip the step of buying breakfast for Fu Zhiyao.

When I entered the company carrying a sandwich and latte, I happened to meet Fu Zhiyao coming in from the door.

The light grey plaid suit is paired with a grey shirt of the same colour, and there is no bow tie, which makes the overall look a bit casual. However, the suit has a good shape and the fabric is high-quality. When worn by Fu Zhiyao, who has an outstanding figure and good looks, he looks as noble and elegant as ever.

Yu Wan suddenly remembered the time she bumped into Fu Zhiyao in the elevator area.

Logically speaking, Fu Zhiyao should not appear in the elevator area. The underground parking lot leads directly to the top floor, so why should Fu Zhiyao go to the trouble of entering through the main entrance of the company?

Seeing Fu Zhiyao approaching, Yu Wan couldn't pretend to ignore him, so she stopped and greeted him politely: "Hello, Boss."

The name has changed back.

Fu Zhiyao glanced at Yu Wan and casually brought up the topic of work: "Secretary Yu, you haven't told me when to give me the work report for the flash mob event."

Yu Wan almost forgot about this. "Sorry, I've finished writing it and will send it to your email later."

Yu Wan's calm attitude was beyond Fu Zhiyao's expectation. After a moment of joy, Fu Zhiyao suddenly realized that this was not calm at all, this was clearly politeness.

The two walked into the same elevator again, and Yu Wan quietly pressed the floor button without asking why.

What Yu Wan thought was actually different from what Fu Zhiyao thought.

She has already determined that she will not be with Fu Zhiyao. In this case, it is not a problem for her whether she likes him or he likes her. Because they will not be together, there is no need to worry about each other's attitude and emotions. Without too many obsessions, she can be as calm as before.

Of course, this was the best outcome Yu Wan could imagine.

But when she knocked on the door and walked into Fu Zhiyao's office, Yu Wan couldn't control her heart palpitations.

This time Fu Zhiyao did not pretend to be blind. He put down the pen in his hand and looked up at her. Yu Wan was sharp-eyed and recognized that it was the birthday gift she gave to Fu Zhiyao.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Boss." Yu Wan tried to steady her voice.

"Um."

"I've already sent the flash mob report to your email. I'm here to apologize for what I said two days ago. Thank you very much for your generous help, but I had a problem with my attitude back then and said a lot of rude things to you..."

The person Yu Wan originally asked for help from was actually Lu Sui, not Cai Yang. However, Lu Sui was on a business trip, and Yu Wan didn't want to trouble Lai Yanxu and Sun Ning to come, after all, they were not professionals. Yu Wan was afraid that the panic of two people would turn into the panic of four people, so in the end she could only call for help to Cai Yang, who was a little more familiar to her.

No matter what Fu Zhiyao said at the time or what his attitude was, his help was real. Yu Wan acknowledged this, so she had to thank him.

Fu Zhiyao frowned and raised his hand to interrupt Yu Wan: "I don't need an apology or thanks."

Yu Wan was right. She didn't call him at all. He was the one who ran there out of fear. In the end, he blamed Yu Wan for her bad attitude. Ultimately, he was the one with the problem.

What he needs is not an apology or a thank you. He just wants Yu Wan to treat him the same as before. That's all. His requirements are very low. He doesn't even ask Yu Wan to marry him. Is that a high request?

But looking at Shang Yuwan's eyes, he felt that this requirement was indeed high.

Because Yu Wan didn't like him at all.

Yu Wan didn't understand Fu Zhiyao's thoughts. After being interrupted, she pursed her lips, didn't say any more words of apology, and mentioned Lawyer Gao.

Yu Wan: "Boss, could you please tell me the cost of Lawyer Gao's help that day? My friend is very grateful for your help. If the lawyer's fees were also charged to you, my friend would feel bad."

Fu Zhiyao answered simply: "The appearance fee is one thousand. There is no lawsuit, so you don't need to pay the rest of the fees."

Yu Wan understood and nodded: "Okay, I'll tell my friend, thank you."

Fu Zhiyao tapped the table with his fingertips, showing a hint of impatience. He didn't want to listen to Yu Wan talking about other people.

Seeing that Yu Wan had no intention of leaving immediately after she finished speaking, Fu Zhiyao sat up slightly, adjusted his posture, coughed twice, and took the initiative to ask: "Secretary Yu, do you have anything else to say?"

Yu Wan's expression was a bit complicated. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke.

Yu Wan: "Boss, some of what I said a few days ago was due to my impulsiveness. Actually, it's okay for you to find another secretary. If you think there's a problem with my work and want to fire me, please point out the problem. If it's true, you don't have to fire me. I will resign voluntarily. If you think my work is fine and you simply want to replace me, then which branch of Fu's company should I go to next, or which department, and whether it is a good fit for my current position, could you please let me know in advance? I don't want a change in rank. I just have one thing to say about salary. My current base salary is 20,000 yuan per month. Taking into account performance and full attendance, I actually take home 25,000 yuan per month..."

The light in Fu Zhiyao's eyes dimmed little by little, and he finally understood Yu Wan.

She was negotiating with himself, trying to gain favorable conditions for her future stay or departure. But in Fu Zhiyao's view, this was drawing a line in the sand, and it was very harsh.

But he did not interrupt Yu Wan, and listened quietly to Yu Wan's career plan and analysis of her current work ability.

Compared to when she first joined the company, Yu Wan's growth and changes were visible to the naked eye. He had to admit that Yu Wan understood herself much better than he thought.

Fu Zhiyao remained silent after hearing the last part.

This is completely different from what grandma said. He can't read Yu Wan's heart, so how can he get along with Yu Wan? He can't read Yu Wan's heart, so how can he understand Yu Wan's feelings?

He has no idea at all.

Before Yu Wan left, Fu Zhiyao called her.

"Yu Wan..."

Yu Wan paused, turned around, and said respectfully, "Boss, please speak."

Fu Zhiyao felt an unexplained emotion swirling in his chest. It took him a long time to utter a single sentence: "Asking Lin Yuan to find a secretary is to expand the talent pool of the CEO's office. It's not because I'm dissatisfied with you, nor do I want to fire you. As for what I did some time ago..."

The three words "I'm sorry" turned into a fishbone stuck in my throat and I couldn't spit it out.

Yu Wan smiled and said, "Boss, you are the president of Fu Corporation. All your decisions are naturally based on maximizing the interests of the company. I believe that you are not impulsive and have your own judgment. You don't need to explain it to me specifically. I understand and respect all your decisions."

I understand and respect all your decisions.

Fu Zhiyao's heart tightened slightly, and countless words choked in his throat, a sore and swollen feeling. His breakfast latte was clearly sweet, but why did a bitter taste rise in his mouth and flow back into his heart?

He looked at Yu Wan. The corners of her mouth were slightly curved on her young and clean face, and there were faint parentheses on both sides of her lips. There was no irony in her expression, as if she approved of his decision from the bottom of her heart.

This worried him more than anyone questioning him.

He slowly clenched his fist, swallowed the words that were about to come out, and retracted his gaze, which accidentally fell on the exquisite black and gold fountain pen at hand. He paused and said, "There is one more thing I forgot to mention, Secretary Yu. I like the birthday present you gave me very much."

Yu Wan's eyelashes trembled, "Hmm."

A belated feedback.

After walking out of the office and returning to his workstation, Yu Wan took a deep breath and prepared to get down to work. Just as he turned on his computer, he heard the voices of Secretary Cai and Secretary Shang chatting nearby.

"This is big news. The public relations department has been working overtime these past two days to barely suppress the heat." This is Secretary Shang.

"That's normal. The position of boss lady is not as simple as a marriage certificate. The boss chose to cancel the engagement with President Yu at this time, mainly to help President Yu break away from the Yu family. After all, President Yu is also one of the important partners in the 'Good Doctor' cooperation project just announced some time ago. This shows that what President Fu is interested in is not the Yu family, but President Yu's ability. The cancellation of the engagement is also expected. The two have been an engaged couple for so many years, and the number of times they have appeared in public together is very few. There has been no news of their plans to get married. The boss can delay, but President Yu is a woman after all, and she can't afford to delay." This is Secretary Cai.

Yu Wan's pupils constricted, confirming that she had heard correctly. She sat stiffly in her seat for a long time without coming to her senses.

Fu Zhiyao and Sister Jintong announced the cancellation of their engagement? When did this happen?

Yu Wan subconsciously reached for her phone and searched the web. The two parties announced the cancellation of their engagement on Monday, the same night she went to the police station.

Yu Wan stared at the page on her phone until her eyes became dry and stiff before she could sort out her thoughts.

Yu Wan knew Fu Zhiyao well. He must have had the idea of ​​breaking off the engagement publicly when the company was discussing the cooperation with Xinyuan Pharmaceutical on "Good Doctor". It was almost the same as what Secretary Cai said - to help Yu Jintong break away from the Yu family.

The purpose of the cooperation is to prove to the outside world that Fu recognizes Xinyuan Pharmaceutical. Even if there is no engagement between the two, they still have a stable business cooperation relationship.

Although Fu Zhiyao's cancellation of the engagement had nothing to do with her, Yu Wan's work efficiency dropped significantly today. The work that usually could be completed in half an hour had to take twice as long to check and confirm because of her absent-mindedness. She didn't want to make mistakes at work at this time. Wouldn't this give Fu Zhiyao an opportunity to find fault?

The only good news today that was not good news was that she finally did not receive the bouquet and gift from Mr. Mori.

After get off work, Yu Wan was walking towards the subway station with her bag. After she had taken a few steps, a cool and flamboyant red convertible sports car blocked her way.

The man in the driver's seat was dressed elegantly, his hair carefully styled with hairspray. He looked arrogant and swaggering. He was wearing sunglasses, so his appearance could not be seen clearly, but Yu Wan was sure that she did not know him.

Before Yu Wan could make a move, the man had already taken off his sunglasses, revealing a sharp-edged face with a high nose and eyebrows. He looked handsome, but his demeanor and posture revealed a greasy sense of being "handsome but self-aware."

The man raised his eyebrows and called out Yu Wan's name accurately: "Yu Wan, Miss Yu, nice to meet you."

Yu Wan frowned: "I don't know you."

The man was not in a hurry at all. He took out his phone, unlocked it, and handed it to Yu Wan: "I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Lu Juefeng... No, you should be more familiar with Lu Sui. I'm Lu Sui's brother, Lu Yusen. Do you mind getting in the car and chatting?"

There was a slightly yellowed photo on the phone screen. The background of the photo was the familiar gate of the beloved orphanage. Lu Sui, who was only seven years old, was surrounded by two strangers, a man and a woman, in the middle. He stared at the camera with a gloomy expression and a frown. The slightly taller boy next to him was probably the man in front of him named Lu Yusen.

Yu Wan suppressed her curiosity and looked at Lu Yusen warily, "What do you want to say?"

"This was taken before Lu Sui was adopted by my family. Could it be that Miss Yu didn't recognize him?" Lu Yusen suddenly realized something and looked around. "It's normal for Miss Yu to be worried about me, but this isn't a good place to talk. How about we find a place nearby to chat? I'll pay for Miss Yu's dinner."

Afraid that Yu Wan wouldn't agree, Lu Yusen added, "Miss Yu is still worried about the bouquets and gifts that come in every day. We can discuss how to deal with them."

Yu Wan glanced at the bouquet of flowers on the passenger seat and remained silent.

Why did he send her the flowers when he knew she didn't like them?

Lu Yusen, on the other hand, remained calm and flirted with other people without hesitation: "It's our first meeting, so I bought it on the way. I hope Miss Yu likes it."

Yu Wan didn't have time to flirt with Lu Yusen here. She got into the car quickly, put the bouquet at her feet, and instructed him: "Drive forward. There's a cafe about a kilometer away. Let's talk there."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Lu Yusen's voice was filled with laughter.

Xiao Cheng, who was urged to drive the car out of the underground parking lot, had not yet figured out the reason when he saw Fu Zhiyao open the car door and chase after the red sports car. Unfortunately, the sports car started at a fast speed and left Fu Zhiyao behind in an instant.

After running a few steps and realizing that he could not catch up, Fu Zhiyao decisively stopped and stood there watching the flashy sports car go away.

He was really out of his mind. It would have been faster to let Xiao Cheng drive after them, but he also knew that if he really used his car to force them to stop, Yu Wan would probably be even angrier.

He only saw Yu Wan being stopped by a red sports car in the gossip group. He knew nothing about the license plate of the sports car or the man driving it.

As for whether anyone in the gossip group discussed men's information—

No.

The gossip group was filled with Secretary Yu's excitement at being pursued by the second-generation rich. There were public declarations of love, declarations of ownership, and novels coming true... There was one set of rhetoric after another, leaving Fu Zhiyao confused.

Sitting back in the car, Fu Zhiyao heard Xiao Cheng's resounding voice.

-【Mr. Fu likes Secretary Yu.】

Fu Zhiyao squinted his eyes and looked at him in the rearview mirror in the middle of the car: "Cheng Liang, have you ever chased a girl?"

Xiao Cheng rolled his eyes and said in a deep voice, full of vicissitudes and stories: "I have chased her."

- [Ahahahaha, things change over time. The emancipated serfs are singing. I'm no longer the same Xiao Cheng. If Mr. Fu likes me, I'll have him wear red shorts and dance the tango downstairs in the office. Laugh first, then talk.]

Fu Zhiyao's eyebrows twitched slightly: "..."

He reached out and pressed his solar plexus, "Cheng Liang, you've never been in love, have you?"

Xiao Cheng felt guilty: "Mr. Fu, how did you know?"

Fu Zhiyao didn't explain.

How would he know? Humph, because no woman would like a lunatic dancing in red shorts in public.

Having said that, Xiao Cheng still has some love tips to share. After all, this is a rare opportunity for him to redeem himself in front of Fu Zhiyao.

"But boss, chasing a girl isn't difficult. It's just one thing: you have to treat her the way you want her to treat you. If you want her to be gentle with you, you have to be gentle with her. If you want her to be patient with you, you have to be patient with her first. Put yourself in her shoes, don't you understand?"

Fu Zhiyao: “…”

Seeing Fu Zhiyao lost in thought, Xiao Cheng's thoughts came to mind again.

-[Alas, looking at Mr. Fu's behavior, I know his love life is bound to be full of obstacles and difficulties. I'm afraid my title of love mentor will be overturned by Mr. Fu. But this is normal. People who are used to being big bosses are definitely used to being the king when they fall into a relationship. They want the other person to accommodate them and coax them. But love is not a competition. Anyone who wants to distinguish between winners and losers is an idiot.]

Fu Zhiyao: “…”
