Chapter 230 Fu Yansi's mother is on TV!

Ms. Guo hung up the phone, and Fu Chenzhou stood alone by the floor-to-ceiling window for a long, long time.

Only after the cigarette had burned out and he felt a burning pain between his fingers did he call Xing Zhen in a hoarse voice.

"Mr. Fu, what are your instructions?" Xing Zhen asked respectfully.

Fu Chenzhou's eyes were as dark as night, and his fair skin was burned red by the cigarette butt.

He hadn't tasted that kind of pain for many years since he was abused with cigarette butts by Fu Lixian when he was young.

"Tonight's cooperation negotiations are temporarily cancelled." After a long pause, he spoke in a deep voice.

Xing Zhen was stunned. "Huh? This... if we cancel a two-hundred-million-dollar project, the other party might think that Guangji lacks sincerity and will look for someone else..."

The man's tone left no room for argument: "Cancel."

"Yes, Mr. Fu." Xing Zhen, unaware of the situation, could only obey.

It should be noted that this was the first time since he had followed President Fu that President Fu had changed his work schedule for personal reasons. In the past, he had always worked diligently, and unless the young master had a heart attack, nothing could affect his work schedule.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the president of Lighttrack Ventures Asia at such a young age, without any background or foundation.

How could this happen so suddenly today...?

"If he cancels the collaboration because of this, I will not have any complaints, since it was my personal reasons that caused the cancellation."

Fu Chenzhou's expression remained calm, devoid of emotion. "But I think that after he has searched around outside, he will eventually choose to cooperate with Guangji."

After all, no one else can offer such good terms except us; I'm confident of that.

Xing Zhen sighed inwardly.

That being said, wouldn't it be better to just have a proper talk and go back? Why make things so complicated?

However, he dared not say this openly, lest he challenge President Fu's authority.

"Do you have any other plans for tonight?"

"Now, return to Beijing immediately, to the Aofeng Technology Conference." Fu Chenzhou's voice was low and authoritative.

"Now?!"

Xing Zhen was stunned, unable to fathom the president's thoughts. "You refused the invitation from the organizers before, so why did you suddenly go?"

Even if you take a special plane back to Beijing now, the science and technology conference will have long ended, and you might not even make it to the banquet.

"Fly back by helicopter."

Fu Chenzhou, with one hand in his trouser pocket, bent down and forcefully crushed the cigarette butt into the crystal ashtray. "I'll open it myself."

...

This little incident allowed Jiang Shiyuan to formally meet Fu Chong, and with a single gesture, she came into contact with one of Beijing's top financial magnates.

"Tsk tsk, no matter what circle it is, women still have a natural advantage. That Miss Lin is getting along really well with President Xie, and this President Jiang has also gotten involved with President Fu. They're truly evenly matched!"

"I think it's because President Xie and President Fu shared their beauty equally."

"That Miss Lin has some ability, but what about that Miss Jiang?"

"What more do you need? A captivating beauty is enough!"

Those around him chuckled.

Although he had doubts about Jiang Shiyuan's abilities, he greatly admired her beauty.

Lin Zhixin watched in disbelief, her tongue tingling with jealousy, and her eyes blazing with envy.

Originally, she intended to use today's occasion to showcase her talent and charm, and to expand her network for herself and the Lin family. Fu Chong was undoubtedly the first target she wanted to pursue.

She had already secured the position of head of the Xie family. If she could also get involved with the heir of the Fu family, she would truly be able to control everything in Beijing and wield absolute power.

Unfortunately, Fu Chong didn't even glance at her, but instead showed great interest in Jiang Shiyuan.

asshole!

In terms of beauty and talent, in what way is she inferior to that slut?

Jiang Shiyuan is nothing more than a CEO in name only; in reality, she's empty-headed. Even if she wore the dragon robe, she wouldn't be able to become the crown prince!

Xie Jinghuai lowered his long eyelashes, concealing his turbulent emotions, and turned away as if he didn't know Jiang Shiyuan at all.

There was a hint of "out of sight, out of mind" in his expression; his eyes betrayed a mixture of restlessness and disgust.

Lin Zhixin was very good at reading people's expressions. She noticed it and her mood improved. A cold smile appeared in her eyes.

It's a good thing that that vile woman is befriending Fu Chong. This will only make Jing Huai even more dissatisfied with her, and their marriage will crumble even faster.

Yin Mengjian felt uneasy as President Jiang and Fu Chong suddenly became familiar with each other.

She always felt that if a man was unusually attentive to a woman upon first meeting, his motives must be impure.

So she kept a close eye on Fu Chong's every move. As long as this man did anything improper, she would stand in front of President Jiang immediately. She had to protect President Jiang!

Ms. Jiang's life has already been difficult enough; she doesn't want to be hurt by anyone else.

The guests entered the conference venue.

Lin Zhixin naturally sat down next to Xie Jinghuai, in the front row, in the most prominent position.

Surrounded by men, she stood like a delicate flower in the center, the center of attention, the center of everyone's admiration.

Every year, she is the center of attention.

But this year, Jiang Shiyuan, who was also sitting in the front row and was strongly invited by Fu Chong to sit next to him, easily stole the limelight that should have belonged to her alone.

Lin Zhixin glanced sideways in Jiang Shiyuan's direction, her jealousy surging and her eyes reddening with hatred.

At the Aofeng Technology Conference, media outlets broadcast news live from the scene.

On the other side—

During recess at the elementary school where Xie Junheng and Fu Yansi attend, the school broadcasts the news on the classroom TV every afternoon, allowing the children to learn about current affairs, science and technology, people's livelihood and other aspects of knowledge from an early age.

At this very moment, the news being broadcast is from the Aofeng Technology Conference.

"Look! It's that pretty lady!"

One student pointed at the screen in surprise, "Isn't she Xie Junheng's mother?!"

Xie Junheng, who was fiddling with a model airplane, suddenly looked up and saw a close-up shot of Lin Zhixin in the news. His eyes lit up and he smiled with joy and excitement.

It's Aunt Xinxin! It really is Aunt Xinxin!

"Definitely! She even participated in the school's parent-child activity with Xie Junheng last time and got second place, which is really impressive!"

Xie Junheng wore a proud and smug expression, without clarifying his relationship with Lin Zhixin.

He didn't want others to think he was a child without a mother.

But his mother was really not presentable, far less outstanding than Xinxin's aunt.

So when he saw that his classmates misunderstood, he just accepted it and didn't bother to explain. His vanity and dislike for his mother also made him unwilling to explain from the bottom of his heart.

Sitting in the corner, Fu Yansi looked at Xie Junheng, who seemed completely at ease, and his brows furrowed tightly.

"Wow! Xie Junheng, how come you never told us your mom was so amazing?!"

The students immediately surrounded the smug Xie Junheng. "My dad told me this technology conference is top-notch in China, super impressive! Everyone who attends this event is a big shot in the industry, and there are lots of high-tech AI products on display! Xie Junheng, is your mom a scientist?"

"Is Xie Junheng's mother a scientist? Wow! That's amazing!"

"Shall we walk home together after school? I have so many questions about artificial intelligence that I want to ask you!"

Xie Junheng was smug, but inwardly he sneered.

These children, though young, have already learned the sycophancy of adults. They previously tried to isolate him, but now that they see he has such a powerful "mother," they're all scrambling to curry favor with him. It's truly ugly and laughable!

But who cares? He's content as long as he feels pampered, surrounded, and valued.

Xie Junheng arrogantly raised his little face, "Didn't you all say before that Fu Yansi's mother was the most beautiful and capable parent in the class? How come you've changed your minds so quickly?"

"Oh, okay, we'll take it back! Your mom is the best!"

"Yes, yes! Xie Junheng's mother is much more capable than Fu Yansi's mother!"

Fu Yansi kept his head down, reading his book, and completely ignored him.

He doesn't need others to prove whether Aunt Jiang is good or not; as long as he thinks she is good, that's enough.

Just as Xie Junheng was feeling extremely smug, another exclamation suddenly rang out:

"Oh my! Look! Fu Yansi's mother is on TV too!"
