She paused, with an indescribable feeling in her voice: "Even if Fu Chen is just acting for me, I want him to belong to me alone. I can't stand Su Yao's obvious concern."

"You dare to say anything." Ning Nanxue's voice remained the same, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or not.

"Ning Nanxue, if you help me this time, I will never interfere with how you deal with Fu Chen in the future. Maybe I can give you something you want more." Xu Zhiru added.

"Okay." Ning Nanxue agreed quickly.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhiru collapsed on the sofa, her hands and feet cold. She didn't know what would happen if she continued down this path, but she had no other choice.

All she wanted was a complete family and a Fu Chen who was devoted to her.

Even if it's just an act.

Jiang Tingchen walked over with a cup of warm water and put it in Ning Nanxue's hand.

"How much of Xu Zhiru's words can we believe?" he asked softly, with a hint of thought between his brows.

Ning Nanxue took the cup of water and felt the temperature of the cup wall with her fingertips: "Believe it or not, it doesn't matter. What she gave is real, that's enough."

"I'm just afraid that she will change her mind halfway, or come back to bite us." Jiang Tingchen sat down next to her and put his arm around her shoulders.

Ning Nanxue leaned against him, absorbing the warmth he brought: "She doesn't dare. If I let her take the initiative to join forces with me and let it be known that Fu's financial statements were given to me, what do you think Fu Chen would do to her? And what would Su Yao think of her? "

She gently shook the water cup in her hand. "Fu Chen already has some lingering feelings towards her because of that so-called depression. If he knew that she was secretly colluding with outsiders, that last bit of hope would vanish into thin air. By then, Xu Zhiru would be left with nothing to cry out for in the Fu family."

Jiang Tingchen understood: "So, she can only follow us to the end."

"That's right." Ning Nanxue's voice was very soft. "She is now obsessed with removing Su Yao's thorn. As for me, I am the helper she can grab at the moment."

Jiang Tingchen held her hand and said, "Xue'er, I support you in everything you do. But don't make it too hard for yourself."

Ning Nanxue shook his hand back and said nothing more.

Within the Fu Group, the Su family's funds have not yet been fully in place, and the burden on Fu Chen's shoulders is getting heavier day by day.

In order to stabilize Su Yao and to get the funds in faster, Fu Chen finally nodded and agreed to Su Yao's "proposal".

"Mr. Fu, with my Su family background and my experience in business operations, serving as Fu's strategic advisor should be able to more effectively help Fu overcome its current difficulties and provide advice for future important projects."

Su Yao sat on the reception sofa in Fu Chen's office. Her tone of voice was a bit reserved, but her posture was very relaxed.

Fu Chen looked at her and didn't respond.

Su Yao continued, "In this way, not only can we demonstrate the determination and depth of our cooperation, but it will also allow me to participate in the operation of Fu's and ensure that our Su family's investment will have a deserved return, don't you think?"

"Strategic advisor?" Fu Chen repeated, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.

"Yes." Su Yao raised her chin slightly, "I believe that I can understand how to maximize the interests of the Fu family better than some people who only talk about it on paper."

It is obvious who the "certain people" she is talking about are.

Fu Chen finally nodded: "Okay. I'll arrange it."

Su Yao curled the corners of her lips and stood up: "Well, Mr. Fu, it's a pleasure to work with you. I hope that as a strategic consultant, I will not disappoint you."

After she left, Fu Chen leaned back in his chair and felt his whole body heavy.

He knew very well what Su Yao was planning, but right now, he needed the support of the Su family too much.

With the title of "Fu's Strategic Advisor", Su Yao soon gained considerable say within the Fu family.

The Su family's eldest daughter's visit to the Fu Corporation caused quite a stir. Meetings were a regular occurrence, with her directing decisions about various departments. And Fu Chen? He barely stopped her.

After all, the money from the Su family helped the Fu family recover. Fu Chen had nothing to say about this.

But although it looks calm on the surface, things are not going as planned underneath.

Xu Zhiru took the tablet, looked at the invitation, and asked in a slightly strained voice, "Is everything arranged?"

Ning Nanxue's voice came from the phone: "The posts have been sent. The old men in the Fu family and the media they know have all been invited. On your side, just act well." There was no emotion in her voice.

"I know." Xu Zhiru responded, thought for a moment, and then asked, "What about Ah Chen..."

"Fu Chen? Don't worry about him. He's busy now." Ning Nanxue paused, "Xu Zhiru, this is an opportunity for both you and me. Don't mess it up."

"I understand." After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhiru looked at herself in the mirror. She wore a lilac cheongsam, and her figure looked good. On her wrist was the jade bracelet that Madam Fu had given to Fu Chen's mother, and Fu Chen had given it to her. She had to act like the future mistress of the Fu family. This battle, she had to win.

Three days later, in the Peony Hall of the hotel, the old guys from the Fu family who rarely showed up all came today.

There were also several reporters from financial media sitting there, whispering to each other.

Xu Zhiru was dressed quite simply today, in a moon-white, modified qipao with a hint of silver thread at the collar and cuffs. Her hair was casually tied up, pinned with a jade hairpin. Her makeup was light, and she looked gentle and quiet.

"Dear uncles, elders, and friends from the media, thank you all for coming." Xu Zhiru's voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.
