Chapter 299: Cautious

Song Yi frowned.

Fu Xijing? Cautious?

How could Gu Zhongzhou associate this word with him?

Seeing Song Yi's expression, Gu Zhongzhou knew she didn't believe it, so he casually analyzed it for her: "I have known him since childhood, at least as far as I know, I have never seen him behave like this."

"Didn't you notice? He thought I misunderstood your relationship, so he came out and clarified it right away. With his status and position, he didn't have to worry about any consequences for offending me. The only explanation is that he was afraid of causing trouble for you."

Song Yi: “…” Is that so?

She was indeed surprised that Fu Xijing took the initiative to explain just now, but she didn't think about what Gu Zhongzhou said.

She simply thought that Fu Xijing didn't want to ruin his relationship with Gu Zhongzhou.

"So, do you really think he explained it because he was afraid of offending me?" Gu Zhongzhou raised his eyebrows.

Song Yi nodded frankly.

Gu Zhongzhou laughed again: "He is Fu Xijing, and others are always afraid of offending him."

Gu Zhongzhou was now even more certain. "It seems that he is indeed very cautious in front of you, and you may have misunderstood that he is afraid of offending others."

Song Yi coughed and said, "No, it's just that when you do business, you probably won't offend anyone on your own initiative."

"You guessed wrong." Gu Zhongzhou's expression was mysterious. "People with strong innate capital, even if they offend others, the offended people will still come to them."

"Let me share some gossip with you." Gu Zhongzhou opened up and began to tell Song Yi what happened to Fu Xijing.

For example, when he was in junior high school, a rich kid from a certain family bullied his teacher at school, so he beat the kid up in front of the whole class. He beat the kid until he had a bruised face and bowed to apologize to the teacher.

Coincidentally, the young master's family happened to have a cooperative relationship with the Fu family and was a supplier of a number of important raw materials.

The young master suffered such humiliation and could not swallow it. He clamored to ask his father to cancel the cooperation. Seeing that his son was so angry, his father went to find Fu Qingyun. His words and deeds all meant that he wanted Fu Xijing to apologize, otherwise he would not supply the goods.

When Song Yi heard this, his brows were tightly furrowed.

On the contrary, Gu Zhongzhou stopped and laughed, deliberately keeping the secret: "Guess what Uncle Fu did?"

Song Yi: "Did you ask him to apologize?"

"He bought Ajing a car as a reward for punishing evil and promoting good," Gu Zhongzhou said, "and completely terminated the cooperation with the other party."

"Once Kelan terminated its cooperation, the other companies, out of loyalty to the Fu family, took the initiative to side with them without being reminded. For example, my father also stopped cooperating with them a week later."

"Less than three months after that incident, the company declared bankruptcy. The whole family should be abroad now."

Song Yi didn't know what to say for a moment - she had been taught Song Lansheng's principle of "turning big things into small things and small things into nothing" since she was a child.

Some things are too costly to worry about, so she will let herself digest them.

However, after hearing what Gu Zhongzhou said, she suddenly understood why Fu Xijing's personality was like that.

Gu Zhongzhou later shared an event that happened in recent years.

Fu Xijing was expanding overseas markets a few years ago. At that time, he had not yet officially taken over and his position was unstable. Many people in the company had opinions about him and tried to make things difficult for him.

Then Fu Xijing fired those executives directly and paid huge compensation.

Those people originally just wanted to use this to consolidate their position, but they didn't expect to be fired like this, so they went to Fu Qingyun to make the decision.

Unfortunately, Fu Qingyun only said one sentence: "Kelan is now under the control of Xijing. If he tells you to leave, you have to leave."

Gu Zhongzhou laughed, "When we heard about this, we all envied him."

Song Yi was fascinated by what he heard and also said "hmm".

I am indeed envious.

Not everyone has the capital to make choices completely according to their own ideas, but Fu Xijing can not only do so, but also get Fu Qingyun's unconditional support.

"So, he's never afraid of offending people." Gu Zhongzhou returned to the point, "He probably likes you more than you think. To be honest, when I saw him like this in front of you, I wanted to record a video to share with my friends."

Song Yi: “…”

——

The meal lasted more than two hours, during which Song Yi and Gu Zhongzhou's topics revolved around Fu Xijing.

Song Yi also heard a lot of things from Gu Zhongzhou that she didn't know before. While she was surprised and amazed, the image of Fu Xijing in her mind became more and more three-dimensional.

Until she finished taking a shower and lay down on the bed, Song Yi was thinking about the things Gu Zhongzhou shared with her.

What she was most curious about was the incident when Fu Xijing beat someone up in junior high school.

Song Yi had always thought that Fu Xijing should be the kind of person who has been more mature than his peers since childhood. Correspondingly, he would be more indifferent in terms of emotions, or at least would not meddle in other people's affairs.

Unexpectedly, he still had such a hot-blooded period.

Unfortunately, she could only hear these things from others.

Buzz.

While Song Yi was daydreaming, the phone beside him vibrated twice.

She came to her senses, picked up her phone and saw that it was a message from Mr. Li.

L: Happy birthday!

After seeing this, Song Yi was very surprised: [You know my birthday? ]

L: [I heard Aunt Xu say this before. She said she thought you would wait until after your birthday before leaving.]

Song Yi suddenly realized, so that's how it is.

Song Yi: [Thank you for your blessing. How are you doing recently?]

L: [To be honest, it’s not very good.]

Song Yi: [Is work not going well?]

L: [My career is going on as usual, but emotional matters are beyond my control.]

When it comes to love affairs, Song Yi doesn't know how to comfort others. After all, she herself is in a confused state. How can a half-baked person have the right to criticize others?

Song Yi thought for a long time before replying: [Sorry, I'm not very good at comforting people, but if you need to talk, I can listen.]

L: [Did I disturb your rest? ]

Song Yi: [No, I’m not sleepy yet.]

Then, the status of "inputting" was displayed all the time, but no message came.

Song Yi held the phone and waited for almost five minutes before he received a message from Mr. Li.

L: [She has a boyfriend.]

Although it was only a short sentence, Song Yi thought about the input status just now and it was not difficult to guess how he deleted and revised it.

He must be feeling very uncomfortable now.

But Song Yi thought about what happened between him and the person he liked. From the girl's perspective, it was normal to start over - if she really fell in love with someone else and moved on from the past, it would be worth celebrating.

Song Yi really couldn't say anything to comfort Mr. Li, and even wanted to say to him: My condolences.

Then, Mr. Li suddenly asked her: [What do you think I should do now?]
