Chapter 281 Mr. Fu, are you trying to please me?

Xiong Lin had a stubborn look on his face, but his legs under the sheet were trembling uncontrollably.

"How could this be? Just because of a woman, is President Fu going to treat Ah Lin like this? That's outrageous and cruel!"

Mrs. Xiong was completely stunned. "And I've met President Fu once. He has those charming eyes that always seem to be smiling, and he looks quite amiable. How could he be so ruthless?!"

"You can know a person's face but not their heart. Fu Chenzhou is a smiling tiger with a snake's heart. But if you touch his interests in the slightest or annoy him in the smallest way, it's like pulling the tiger's whiskers at its mouth. He might just go after you and kill you!"

Xiong Ting paced back and forth, sweating profusely with anxiety. "I used to give him money, alcohol, and women, but he wouldn't accept anything. He only treated me with business acumen. I could never find his weakness; I always thought he was invincible."

Now it seems his weakness is Jiang Shiyuan!

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud knocking sounded at the door, and the secretary's voice came from outside:

"Chairman Xiong! Are you inside?! It's urgent!"

"Come in!"

The secretary rushed in, "It's terrible, Chairman Xiong! We've received news from the government that the approvals for our two projects in the US haven't been issued, so we can't proceed!"

"It wasn't approved? How could this happen? Didn't President Fu already pull some strings for us?!"

Xiong Ting's vision went black, and he felt as if he had been struck by lightning!

Fu Chenzhou had cultivated deep connections in the business and political circles of the United States for many years, with his network spanning the entire country. Yuanhang had finally managed to secure a cooperation opportunity with Guangji, but it was aborted at the very beginning!

For this project, the entire company worked hard for three years and invested hundreds of millions. Now that the project has stalled, their losses have doubled and may even shake the foundation of the company!

The secretary was drenched in sweat. "Chairman Xiong, you should know that all those officials in Country M are on friendly terms with President Fu. If he wanted to ruin our project, it would only take a word!"

"Bastard!" Xiong Ting roared in a fit of impotent rage.

At this moment, Xiong Lin finally saw the terrifying strength hidden beneath Fu Chenzhou's calm and composed exterior!

Although he keeps a low profile in Beijing, he can create a storm abroad!

He finally regretted it, regretting that he hadn't listened to his elder brother earlier and had instead gone after the lion's woman.

But it was too late for regrets.

"It's all over, all over! This time we've lost everything, not even our underwear!" Xiong Ting tugged at his hair in distress.

Mrs. Xiong still held onto a glimmer of hope, "Mr. Fu wouldn't be so heartless, would he? Why don't you go and beg him, prepare a generous gift, maybe there'll be a chance to turn things around?"

"Ignorant woman! Fu Chenzhou came to me personally last time to issue an ultimatum; there's no room for negotiation!"

Xiong Ting was completely enraged. Ignoring Xiong Lin's still-healing injuries, he rushed forward and slapped his unlucky younger brother twice across the face.

"You're utterly useless and a complete hindrance! You're going to ruin the Xiong family!"

...

In the evening, Xie Jinghuai, who had returned to Beijing from a business trip abroad, disembarked from his private plane.

Lin Zhixin followed closely behind, gracefully descending the ladder, draped in a luxurious white fur coat.

Although Beijing was cold, it wasn't cold enough to warrant wearing fur. This was because Lin Zhixin took medication regularly, and the side effect was that she was weak and cold, like a frail willow like Lin Daiyu. She looked so pitiful.

Whether Xie Jinghuai loved her or not is still unknown, but she knows that he cherishes her deeply.

As long as she firmly grasps this man's pity and guilt towards her, half of his body and soul will already be in her grasp.

As soon as Xie Jinghuai and Lin Zhixin got into the luxury car, the man received a phone call from Xinghui Golf Course:

"Mr. Xie, hello, I am the general manager of Xinghui."

The man asked coldly, "Is there something you need?"

"Oh, I see. Your wife recently opened a Platinum membership with us using your supplementary card. We've prepared a gift for her. Would you like it mailed directly to her, or would you like someone to pick it up?"

"What did you say? My wife?" Xie Jinghuai was taken aback.

Lin Zhixin, who was standing next to her, immediately perked up her ears, and alarm bells rang in her mind.

The person on the other end was also stunned. "Mr. Xie, isn't Ms. Jiang Shiyuan your wife?"

Xie Jinghuai's throat tightened, and his breathing became labored. "Yes, Jiang Shiyuan is my wife."

"Ah, that's good. Your wife is such a beautiful lady!" The other person breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Lin Zhixin was filled with resentment and anger.

But no matter how much she resented it, she had to admit that they were still a legally married couple.

Xie Jinghuai asked in a low voice, "Why does my wife want to open a card with you?"

"I don't know the specifics. I only heard from my subordinates that your wife wants to meet... apparently Mr. Xiong from Yuanhang Capital."

Xie Jinghuai's head buzzed, and his temples throbbed wildly!

After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhixin hurriedly asked, "Brother Jinghuai, did my sister get you into trouble again?"

"Zhixin, I'll have the bodyguards take you home."

The next second, the man opened the door and got out of the car without any hesitation.

"Hey! Brother Jinghuai!" He was too fast, and Lin Zhixin couldn't catch him at all. She could only angrily pound the seat.

Xie Jinghuai took Han Xu and immediately changed cars. As soon as they got in, he called Jiang Shiyuan.

However, the call could not be connected.

His handsome face was cold and gloomy. He quickly changed his mind and called Yin Meng.

Upon learning that Yin Meng had become Jiang Shiyuan's secretary, he immediately ordered Han Xu to find her phone number and silently memorize it for future use.

Now, it's just a matter of being prepared for any eventuality!

Yin Meng answered the phone very quickly:

"Hello, who is this?"

"Xie Jinghuai," he said, giving his full name directly.

Yin Meng gasped, "Mr. Xie...?"

"Where is your General Manager Jiang now? I need to see her right now," Xie Jinghuai asked impatiently.

What do these big shots take her for? A mere information relay station for President Jiang?

Yin Meng frowned, feeling conflicted.

If she told President Jiang, he definitely wouldn't see him. Actually, she didn't want President Jiang to see that scumbag again either.

But at this very moment, President Fu is in the hospital room, having dinner and chatting with President Jiang.

This is a great opportunity to make that scumbag guy furious!

So, Yin Meng pursed her lips and said, "President Jiang is ill and is currently recuperating at the First Affiliated Hospital of Beijing."

"Sick?!"

A surge of intense worry welled up in Xie Jinghuai's heart, and his voice became hoarse, "I'm coming right away!"

...

Tonight, Fu Chenzhou brought Jiang Shiyuan the same exquisite meal from Yue Man Xi Lou, along with a nourishing soup that he had personally cooked all day.

He knew she had very high standards and was very picky, but because she was busy with work and busy revitalizing eternity, she often had to compromise her tastes and appetite.

"President Fu, the soup is excellent, you're very skilled." Jiang Shiyuan sipped the soup with a smile, her eyes crinkling.

"Xing Zhen made this; give him a raise this month." Fu Chenzhou casually placed a crystal shrimp dumpling into her bowl.

"Hmm, Secretary Xing is a good cook; it tastes just like President Fu's." Jiang Shiyuan smiled knowingly but didn't say anything.

Fu Chenzhou smiled, his heart skipped a beat.

Jiang Shiyuan enjoyed the soup and ate her fill, and then Fu Chenzhou called Xing Zhen in.

After clearing the table, Xing Zhen solemnly placed a contract document in front of her.

"Mr. Jiang, let's talk about the cooperation again."

Fu Chenzhou sat down on the edge of the bed, smiling as he looked at her surprised face. "This is a contract I've already drafted. Please take a look. If you're not comfortable with it, you can ask Attorney Ye to come and review it."

"Oh."

Jiang Shiyuan picked up the contract, looked at the black and white words on the paper, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "President Fu brings me delicious food and makes me nourishing soup. I thought you were a male bodhisattva."

So, are you trying to please me?

"If that's how Mr. Jiang wants to understand it, I don't object."

Fu Chenzhou gazed at her intently, his gentle eyes meeting hers. "Because, as a famous saying goes, the way to a person's heart is through their stomach."
