Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Stopping the car (copywriting stalk)

Chapter 5

Shang Ziyi's heart skipped a beat and her legs went limp. She was not good at lying and would stutter whenever she told a lie.

"What do you mean by going to the hospital?"

"I saw you the other day," Fu Zhou said, "in the hospital."

Shang Ziyi opened her eyes wide and tried hard to recall the scene in the hospital that day. She did meet some acquaintances, but they were just some uncles and aunts. She didn't see Fu Zhou.

"I didn't see you." Shang Ziyi said.

"So you admit that you went to the hospital." Suddenly, laughter came from Fu Zhou's side, and Shang Ziyi faintly heard the woman say, "Wow, this man is so handsome."

Someone responded, "It's really handsome."

Later the sound gradually became smaller and disappeared.

"What's wrong with me going to the hospital?" Shang Ziyi said, "Who said I can't go to the hospital? Besides, I went to the hospital that day to accompany Fan Xue. If you really saw me, you should have seen that we were at the orthopedic clinic. Fan Xue sprained her ankle, and I was accompanying her to see her."

Shang Ziyi rarely speaks so much at once, which may seem normal to others, but those who know her know that she is panicking.

Fortunately, Fu Zhou was not familiar with her, so these explanations sounded quite reasonable.

"Just accompanying Fan Xue to check her feet? Nothing else?" Fu Zhou leaned against the car, took out a lighter from his pocket, and stopped when he was about to light a cigarette. "Are you feeling well?"

"What's wrong with you? It's like you're always hoping I'll get sick." Shang Ziyi said unhappily, "I'm fine. I can eat, drink, and sleep. Don't worry about me, Mr. Fu."

Mr. Fu has moved out, which shows that he is in a bad mood.

Logically, Fu Zhou should have stopped talking, but he remembered Zhou Yan's words and said again: "Let's go to the hospital for a check-up."

"I know my body best. If you want to go to the hospital for a check-up, you can go." He couldn't see, but if he saw, he would know how high Shang Ziyi's lips were pouting.

"Do you always talk to people like this?" Fu Zhou asked.

"What's wrong with me talking?" Shang Ziyi snorted, "You don't have to listen if you don't want to."

He was the one who called her first and talked about all sorts of nonsense, so of course she was in a bad mood.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'm hanging up." Shang Ziyi asked urgently for fear of being exposed.

"I--" Fu Zhou didn't finish his words when a beep came from the other end of the receiver.

Fu Zhou stared at the darkened screen of his phone, his brows furrowed. He called Zhou Yan, and as soon as the call was connected, he asked, "Did you really hear Shang Ziyi say she's pregnant?"

Zhou Yan was playing cards, and the surroundings were in chaos. He didn't hear clearly, so he asked, cigarette in hand, "What did you say?"

Fu Zhou patiently asked again, "Shang Ziyi is pregnant, are you sure you heard it?"

"I couldn't hear clearly through the door." Zhou Yan recalled, "I'm not sure if she's pregnant, or Fan Xue is, or something else. I tell you, this kind of thing is actually quite easy to solve. Take her to the hospital for a checkup and everything will be clear. You're usually quite smart, why have you become so stupid now..."

Too lazy to listen to Zhou Yan's chatter anymore, Fu Zhou pressed the end button.

He leaned against the car with one hand in his pocket and left after a long time.

Shang Ziyi paced back and forth in the room for ten minutes, panicking and not knowing what to do. She was so worried that she called Fan Xue.

"Xiaoxue, I'm miserable."

"What's wrong with you? Speak slowly."

"Fu Zhou just called me and said he saw me in the hospital."

"When did he see you in the hospital?"

"I don't know either. I just said I was going with you, but I don't know if he believed me or not."

Fan Xue analyzed, "He's a very smart guy, not easy to fool."

"Then what should we do?" Shang Ziyi panicked even more, biting her lip with her pearly teeth. "Do you think he already knows?"

"It's possible," Fan Xue said, "but this is just speculation. Maybe he doesn't know."

"No, he might really know." Shang Ziyi said with a nasal voice, "He suddenly came to my house today and said he wanted to discuss cooperation. I don't know what he said to my dad in the study."

"Have your two families cooperated before?"

"Probably not."

Shang Ziyi didn't care much about the company's affairs, so she really didn't know whether she was there or not. "Help me think of a solution quickly."

"It's already like this, what else can we do?" Fan Xue suggested, "We can only get surgery as soon as possible."

"Yes, as soon as possible." Shang Ziyi said firmly, "I will contact the doctor tomorrow and move up the surgery time."

"Then tonight is the last night." Fan Xue was a little reluctant, "Why don't you say goodbye to the child properly?"

It would have been better if she didn't mention it. After she mentioned it, Shang Ziyi felt full of guilt. She had ruined him, but she couldn't bring him into this world. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that she was cruel.

"Am I terrible?"

"You can't say that. You're fine."

"But I want to kill him."

"It's early days now, and he's not really a human being yet."

Shang Ziyi fell down on the bed and said dejectedly: "It's my fault anyway."

Maybe it was because of too much psychological pressure, I had nightmares all night, and when I woke up the next day, my eyes were swollen.

Mrs. Shang glanced at her worriedly, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"Yeah." Shang Ziyi said, "I had a nightmare."

"Didn't you drink the tranquilizing soup?"

"I drank it." Shang Ziyi was not in good health when she was a child and was always sick. Mrs. Shang was worried about this for many years. It was only in recent years that she got better. Shang Ziyi didn't want her to worry, "I'm fine. I just need to catch up on my sleep during the day."

"If there is anything that makes you unhappy, remember to tell me."

"Yeah, okay."

Shang Ziyi remembered something and asked, "Mommy, why did Fu Zhou come to see Dad yesterday?"

"Let's talk about cooperation." Mrs. Shang said, "There's a resort project that he wants to develop together."

"Is that all? Is there anything else?" Shang Ziyi asked again.

"Oh, by the way," Mrs. Shang said, "he has something else to tell you."

"Me?" Shang Ziyi's heart began to beat wildly again. Afraid of seeing any clues, she suppressed it with great effort and pretended to be nonchalant, "What message did he bring to me? We don't even know him."

"He said there's a party in a few days and he invites you to go on his cruise ship."

“…”

Shang Ziyi's heart beat faster.

"Cruise ship? What cruise ship? I'm dizzy." Shang Ziyi picked up the water glass and pretended to drink.

Mrs. Shang stopped him, "Baby, that cup is not yours."

Shang Ziyi paused, took a look, and found that it was indeed not hers. She smiled awkwardly and put it down.

"Are you really okay?" Madam Shang touched her head. "Why do you look so panicked?"

"No." Shang Ziyi held Mrs. Shang's hand. "Did Fu Zhou say anything else?"

"No." Mrs. Shang said with a smile, "Why do you keep asking about him? Are you interested in him?"

"How could that be?" Shang Ziyi said coquettishly, "Mommy is just making fun of people, I won't talk to you anymore."

Mrs. Shang pulled Shang Ziyi back and said, "I think Fu Zhou is a good guy. If you are interested, you can arrange a meeting."

"You haven't met him. He's quite handsome and well-mannered."

Shang Ziyi thought to herself, they had not only met but also done more intimate things, and now she was pregnant with his child.

"Forget it." Shang Ziyi declined politely, "Didn't Mommy say that she wanted me to stay with her for a few more years? I don't want to go on a blind date right now."

"Really?"

"not see."

"That's a pity," Mrs. Shang said softly, "From what I see, he seems to really want to meet you."

Shang Ziyi: “…”

We can’t talk anymore. The more we talk, the more mistakes we make.

Shang Ziyi went upstairs on the pretext of feeling dizzy. She called the hospital, hoping that the surgery could be postponed to today.

The hospital replied: "Not in the morning, but in the afternoon."

Shang Ziyi is not picky, as long as it is today, morning or afternoon is fine.

The doctor gave some instructions and ended the call.

She couldn't sit still at home, so she went out. She wanted to go shopping, but something was on her mind and she couldn't continue shopping. She just walked around and came out of the mall.

I forgot to check the almanac before going out, and coincidentally I ran into Fu Zhou who was inspecting his work.

Today he was wearing a dark blue suit, a white shirt, and a tie of the same style as the suit. From a distance, he was more eye-catching than the male star on the billboard.

It looks just like the stars hanging in the sky.

Dazzling.

Shang Ziyi rarely receives such high praise, mainly because she has several handsome brothers in her family. She has been accustomed to their good looks since she was a child, and ordinary people really can't attract her attention.

After all, if you stay around the sun for a long time, your eyes will become very picky.

This is also the reason why she failed in several blind dates. She would subconsciously compare the other party with her brothers.

In terms of appearance and details, no one can compare to her brothers.

Except Fu Zhou.

When Shang Ziyi was lost in thought, Fu Zhou saw her. After saying a few words to the people around him, he strode over.

Shang Ziyi wanted to escape, but it was too late.

"Miss Shang, what a coincidence."

In fact, Shang Ziyi didn't want it to be such a coincidence at all. She turned around, curled her lips and greeted, "What a coincidence."

"shop?"

"Um."

"There's a nice cafe nearby, would you like to go sit down?"

"No."

"Is Miss Shang afraid of me?" Fu Zhou suddenly asked.

"Hmm?" Shang Ziyi raised her eyebrows.

"Otherwise, why do you hide every time you see me?" Fu Zhou asked.

Upon hearing this, Shang Ziyi took back all the comments she had made about him. He was no better than his brothers.

At least in terms of not giving face to others, he is not as good as his brothers.

"Mr. Fu, you're joking. I just don't like drinking with people I don't know." Shang Ziyi is not incapable of arguing with people, she is just more concerned about the other person's face. But if the other person is shameless, then she will not have any scruples.

"Aren't we familiar with each other?" Fu Zhou stepped closer, enclosing her in his shadow, and said with lowered eyes, "Why do I remember that we were quite familiar with each other?"

To prove he was familiar with it, he raised his wrist to show her and whispered, "I wonder if Miss Shang remembers this? When I went to your house to see your uncle yesterday, I wanted to show it to him, but then I felt it was inappropriate. What do you think, should I show it to him?"

Shang Ziyi: “…”

"What does Mr. Shang mean?"

"I have many more marks like this on my body. Miss Shang, I believe you know who left them?"

Shang Ziyi had no way to respond. Are all successful people so unforgiving with their words?

Fu Zhou was the only exception. Who said he was not talkative? She thought he was quite talkative.

"Ahem." Shang Ziyi stepped back to create some distance between them. "Mr. Fu, please respect yourself."

After saying this, she turned and left, ignoring the surprised looks of others.

Fu Zhou glared at her, his Adam's apple rolling slowly, then he withdrew his gaze and got into the car in the distance.

Shen Yang said: “The merger and acquisition will be held in half an hour.”

Today's merger and acquisition is the most important project for the Fu Group in the past six months. If it goes through, the performance will double. If it doesn't...

Fu Zhou never thought about what would happen if the talks failed. He was always confident about what he was determined to get.

After getting in the car, Shen Yang reported some precautions. Fu Zhou took off his watch and replaced it with another one. This one was just the right size and covered up the marks on the inside of his wrist.

The tie clip is also the latest model, limited edition.

A slightly more elegant perfume.

After Shen Yang finished his report, he handed over the tie, and Fu Zhou tied it slowly and methodically. His slender and distinct fingers looked like fine works of art, and they looked very beautiful when they bent and stretched.

He likes to wear glasses when working, which makes him look more cool and noble.

After getting ready and taking the folder, he quickly glanced at it and said calmly, "Is everyone else ready?"

Shen Yang: “Everyone is in the conference room.”

Fu Zhou: "We must win this round."

The negotiation lasted for three hours in total. The atmosphere was so tense that it made people's breathing hold. Several times, the other party was unable to bear it and had to wipe their sweat frequently.

Fu Zhou, on the other hand, remained calm throughout the whole process, as if everything was under his control. He argued with reason and evidence until he convinced the other party.

The final transaction volume was one percentage point lower than expected.

The rest of the team was extremely happy, but Fu Zhou didn't react much. After signing the contract, he walked out of the meeting room with the other party's person in charge.

We had lunch together at noon and met some acquaintances. During the greetings, they all praised Fu Zhou for his good eyesight and his high skills.

The force was so powerful that no one else could react and the enemy was already in his pocket.

Just like this merger and acquisition case, many companies were watching, but in the end only the Fu Group benefited.

Fu Zhou said calmly, "It was the uncles who were being modest on purpose, otherwise there wouldn't be any place for me."

The others smiled on their faces but were furious inside. If the Fu Group hadn't intervened, they would have gotten a bigger share of the profits.

It's so infuriating.

The merger was successful, and the company had a celebration party scheduled for the evening. Fu Zhou was unable to attend due to something, so he asked the vice president to go in his place.

Zhou Yan was very sensitive to gossip. "I heard that your merger deal was successful. Did you make a lot of money this time?"

Fu Zhou: "Is this the reason you called?"

"My old man asked me to get it," Zhou Yan said. "I want to have some soup. Does Mr. Fu allow it?"

"Bring the contract tomorrow. I'll sign it if it's okay."

"Oh my god, is this true? Don't lie to me."

"If you don't believe me, just forget it and pretend I didn't say anything."

"Oh, don't." Zhou Yan said, "Since you helped me coax the old man, I'll tell you some news."

"What?"

"I found out that the young lady from the merchant store is pregnant."

Zhou Yan muttered, "You said she never leaves the house, who did she get pregnant with? But that man is quite powerful, he can even win over this delicate lady."

"I'm a little envious of him..."

Beep, beep, call ended.

Zhou Yan was confused.

-

Shang Ziyi didn't eat lunch. The doctor said she had to abstain from food or water. Even if she could eat, she couldn't. After all, it was her baby, and if she really had to abort it, she would be in a bad mood.

Fan Xue stayed with her but didn't eat. She just drank water and said, "After you finish the surgery, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

"I heard that you'll be very uncomfortable after the surgery." Shang Ziyi pouted, "You probably won't be able to eat anything."

"Then I'll buy you a drink." Fan Xue patted her shoulder. "Don't be too nervous. It will be over soon."

"I'm just afraid of pain." Shang Ziyi frowned, "I've been afraid of pain since I was a child, you know that."

"It shouldn't hurt too much after the anesthetic." Fan Xue searched online. "I've seen many people say that it will be fine if I just close my eyes."

"It's not that easy." Shang Ziyi glanced out the window, "That's a little life."

"If you don't want to do it, we can go back now." Fan Xue said, "We just set out not long ago anyway."

"No, let's do it." Shang Ziyi didn't hesitate any longer. This would not be good for her or the baby in her belly.

"Well, let's do it." Fan Xue said, "Don't be afraid, I will always be here."

Shang Ziyi pursed her lips and said, "By the way, I met Fu Zhou this morning."

"Fu Zhou? Where did you meet him?"

"At the entrance of the mall, Mao Hai."

"Where is he going?"

"It seems to be an inspection."

"Oh, I remember now. Maohai is his family." Fan Xue said with a sigh, "I heard from my brother that Fuzhou negotiated a very impressive merger and acquisition deal today."

"My brother also said that usually cases like this would be handed over to professional teams. But this time he personally took action. At first, no one was very optimistic about it. After all, he's not a professional. Guess what happened next."

"How about it?"

"He was engaging in verbal battles with over a dozen people. Just thinking about it is a spectacular scene."

Fan Xue still recognized Fu Zhou in some aspects. She pointed at Shang Ziyi's belly and said, "Maybe the little one in your belly is also so amazing."

"By the way, have you never imagined what he looks like? Is it with you or with Fu Zhou?"

"No matter who you follow, they are all outstanding people."

"Either a beautiful woman or a handsome man."

"I suddenly want to know what he looks like?"

Fan Xue kept on blabbering, "I remember Auntie said you were very well behaved when you were little. Do you think the baby in your belly will be well behaved too? It won't make any noise and will just play by itself."

Shang Ziyi had thought about this scenario more than once, and she would feel sad as she thought about it. She felt that she was too cruel and had killed her baby's chance to see the world.

Seeing Shang Ziyi's bad expression, Fan Xue slapped her lips and said, "Look at what I said. Let's not talk about it anymore."

The car suddenly slowed down when it came to the corner.

The driver said, "There's road construction ahead. We have to take a detour."

Fan Xue hummed, "Okay, let's take a detour."

After turning a few corners, they finally got on the main road again. Fan Xue kept telling Shang Ziyi jokes that she had heard from somewhere.

"I'm telling you, if you don't laugh, I'm going to crawl home in a minute. Believe me, it's hilarious."

Shang Ziyi curled the corners of her lips and said, "Well, go ahead."

Just as Fan Xue was about to speak, Shang Ziyi's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number, but she knew who it was and didn't answer.

Fan Xue: "Why don't you answer it?"

Shang Ziyi: "It's Fu Zhou."

"Huh? Fu Zhou? Why is he calling now?"

“I don’t know.”

"Then don't answer it," Fan Xue said, "what if it's not good?"

Shang Ziyi didn't plan to answer it and put the phone back into her bag.

The ringing never stopped, again and again.

Fan Xue: "Is he in any urgent situation?"

"We're not familiar with each other, and any urgent matters have nothing to do with me."

"That's right."

The two continued chatting, and when they talked about where to go for fun in the next few days, the driver in front suddenly said, "Miss, it seems like a car is chasing us."

"Hmm? What car?"

"later."

Shang Ziyi and Fan Xue looked back at the same time, and were terrified by what they saw.

It's not just one car, it's several cars.
