"Let's not talk about the past anymore." Fu Chen said, "We should look forward."

"But I always can't help thinking about it." Xu Zhiru's voice was full of grievance and unwillingness.

"If I hadn't left, the person who would be with you now would be me, not Ning Nanxue."

"Zhi Ru..." Fu Chen didn't know what to say.

"I once thought, how wonderful it would have been if we hadn't separated." Xu Zhiru continued, "But there are no ifs in this world. We missed it, we missed it."

"No, we didn't miss each other." Fu Chen suddenly said, "Aren't we together again now?"

"But there are so many things between us," Xu Zhiru said. "With so many people and things between us, can we ever go back to the way we were before?"

"Why not?" Fu Chen asked back.

"As long as we love each other, nothing can stop us."

"But, Ning Nanxue..." Xu Zhiru hesitated to speak.

"She won't be an obstacle to us." Fu Chen said, his eyes suddenly very fierce, "I will take care of everything."

Jiang Tingchen's injury concerned everyone, and Ning Nanxue stayed by his bedside without taking off her clothes, fearing that he would get into trouble in the slightest.

Fortunately, Jiang Tingchen is in good health and after a few days of rest, he can resume normal activities.

That day, Jiang Tingchen leaned against the head of the bed, holding a document in his hand and frowning.

Ning Nanxue walked into the room carrying a bowl of chicken soup. Seeing Jiang Tingchen's expression, she asked with concern, "Senior, what's wrong? Did something happen at the company?"

"There are some problems with the Fu Group's financial statements." Jiang Tingchen handed the documents to Ning Nanxue. "Look, there are obvious loopholes here and here."

Ning Nanxue took the document and looked at it carefully.

The more she looked, the more frightened she became. These loopholes were obviously man-made, and the amount was huge, enough to cause serious damage to the Fu Group.

"When was this report issued?" Ning Nanxue asked.

"In recent quarters." Jiang Tingchen replied, "I suspect Fu Chen is transferring assets."

"This bastard!" Ning Nanxue gritted her teeth in anger, "He's trying to drain the Fu Group!"

"It's just a suspicion right now. We need further evidence," Jiang Tingchen said. "I've already arranged for someone to investigate. I believe there will be results soon."

"Senior, you are injured now. Please leave these matters to me and Manager Song." Ning Nanxue said, "Just take good care of yourself and don't worry about it anymore."

"No, I have to keep an eye on this matter myself." Jiang Tingchen's attitude was very firm. "Fu Chen is a cunning man. I'm afraid you can't deal with him."

"But your body..." Ning Nanxue was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, I know my own body." Jiang Tingchen smiled, "Besides, this little injury won't bother me."

Ning Nanxue knew Jiang Tingchen's character. Once he made a decision, no one could change it.

She nodded helplessly: "Okay, but you must pay attention to rest and don't force yourself."

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Tingchen nodded.

On the other side, Manager Song also received the news from Ning Nanxue. He immediately gathered people and launched a fierce business offensive against the Fu Group.

"Everyone, listen up! This time, we have only one goal: to completely destroy the Fu Group!" Manager Song said in a loud voice, standing in the conference room. "We must use all available resources to seize market share and suppress the Fu Group's stock price, so that they will never be able to recover!"

"Yes, Mr. Song!" Everyone responded in unison, their voices full of fighting spirit.

Under the leadership of Manager Song, Ning Nanxue's company was like a hungry wolf, frantically eroding the market share of the Fu Group.

The stock price of Fu Group has been falling, its market value has shrunk significantly, and the morale within the company has been demoralized and in chaos.

The shareholders of Fu Group could no longer sit still. They called Fu Chen one after another and asked him to return to the company immediately to handle the affairs.

"Mr. Fu, when are you coming back?" a shareholder asked anxiously on the phone. "The company is in chaos now. If you don't come back, we're really finished!"

"Yes, Mr. Fu, you can't go on like this!" another shareholder echoed, "You must come back immediately to take charge of the situation!"

Fu Chen was annoyed by these calls and wanted to return to the company immediately, but Xu Zhiru refused to let him leave.

"Ah Chen, you can't leave!" Xu Zhiru lay on the bed, her face pale, tightly grasping Fu Chen's hand, "I feel so bad, I need you to stay with me."

"Zhiru, I know you feel bad, but things at the company..." Fu Chen looked embarrassed.

"I don't care!" Xu Zhiru cried, "I just want you to stay with me! If you leave, I can't survive even one day!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Fu Chen hugged Xu Zhiru distressedly, "How could I abandon you? But the company really can't delay any longer."

"You're just going to abandon me!" Xu Zhiru started throwing a tantrum like a child. "You just can't leave! If you leave, who will take care of my health? Without you by my side, I really can't go on!"

"Zhiru, don't be like this." Fu Chen sighed helplessly, "I promise you, I won't leave for the time being. I will handle the company's affairs through phone calls and video conferences, okay?"

"Really?" Xu Zhiru raised her head and looked at Fu Chen with tears in her eyes, "You won't lie to me, will you?"

"How could I lie to you?" Fu Chen gently stroked Xu Zhiru's head.

"Ning Nanxue took advantage of this opportunity to contribute to my company. If I really let him continue like this, it would put both of us in danger."

"Zhiru, I won't ignore you, but I can't let our future be in jeopardy."

Hearing these words, Xu Zhiru nodded.

She leaned directly into Fu Chen's arms, but her face became gloomy.

The sunlight in the resort was so bright that it was a little dazzling, forming a sharp contrast with Fu Chen's mood at the moment.

He sat on a lounge chair on the balcony, holding a mobile phone in his hand. The screen kept popping up with missed calls and message alerts, almost all of which were from company shareholders and executives.

"Ah Chen, why haven't you come back yet?"

Xu Zhiru's voice came from behind, with a hint of coquettishness and dissatisfaction.

She walked to Fu Chen, put her arms around his neck, and rested her head on his shoulder.

Fu Chen sighed, put down his phone, and put his arm around Xu Zhiru's waist.

"Zhiru, you know, the company's current situation is very bad."

He whispered, "I have to deal with this."

"But I will only feel better if I stay by your side." Xu Zhiru raised her head, her eyes filled with tears.
