Jiang Zao was the impostor young lady who followed her mother into the Xia family. She and the real young lady, Xia Chuwei, were both reborn.
Unfortunately, Jiang Zao was reborn two days late...
When Fu Yanci woke up in the morning, he found that his diet had changed to a light and nutritious meal.
It was bland and tasteless.
It doesn't taste good at all!
"I want to eat soup dumplings and shrimp dumplings."
Madam Fu gently coaxed him, "Yanci, listen to me. You're feeling hot right now, so you should eat less oily food. These are all foods that the nutritionist has prepared for you, and they're good for your health."
"Getting a sore throat?" Fu Yanci asked, bewildered.
Jiang Zao placed the nutritional meal back in front of Fu Yanci. "That's right, you had another nosebleed last night, so for at least the next week, you can only eat this. You can't have any snacks."
Fu Yanci instantly looked aggrieved.
They started bargaining: "Can't I just eat a little bit of the snacks?"
"No," Jiang Zao retorted, "Is Aci being naughty?"
Fu Yanci immediately wilted, "Aci, be good."
Then, reluctantly, they began eating the nutritious meal.
His aggrieved look amused both Jiang Zao and Madam Fu.
"Zaozao, how's the resort going?" Madam Fu rarely asked. "If you need any help, just let me know. Fu's is your home too, so don't be shy with your own family."
Jiang Zao was quite grateful to Madam Fu; in her memory, Madam Fu had never been so kind in her previous life.
Perhaps it's because she was Fu Yanci's wife in this life.
"Everything is almost ready. We'll check the raw materials again today, and then we can start construction on a chosen date," Jiang Zao said.
Madam Fu nodded: "Bring Yanci along too. Don't treat him differently or spoil him just because he's a child at heart. The head of the Fu family isn't that delicate."
Jiang Zao: "Okay."
After she finished eating and put down her chopsticks, she asked, "Is Mom coming to the company with us later?"
"No, I have an appointment today," said Madam Fu.
...
10:00 AM, Huaqinzhai.
This is a high-end teahouse, members-only, where many people in the upper echelons of Lincheng like to meet to chat and discuss business.
When Xia Yunqian arrived and opened the door to the private room, Madam Fu was already sitting inside.
"In-laws." Xia Yunqian knew how to get close to them, and walked in with a smile.
Madam Fu didn't refute him, "Please sit down."
She continued brewing tea, her movements fluid and graceful, each gesture exuding elegance, clearly showing she was a true connoisseur of tea.
Xia Yunqian sat down opposite Madam Fu and couldn't help but praise her: "My dear in-law, you have excellent skills. Only someone with your taste would understand these things."
Madam Fu glanced at him, said nothing, and handed Xia Yunqian a cup of tea.
Q: "Mr. Xia, do you know why I invited you here today?"
The single word "President Xia" completely refuted Xia Yunqian's two previous uses of "in-law," as if slapping him twice across the face, leaving him feeling burning hot.
Xia Yunqian's expression was not good. She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, but couldn't taste anything. Her mind was racing, and she was not sure what Old Madam Fu meant.
Madam Fu's expression was indifferent as she said in a deep voice, "Regarding the attack on my son and daughter-in-law, although Madam Xia has been detained for several days, I do not believe that is the full punishment."
Xia Yunqian's expression changed again.
So that's what it was about.
Is this a pretext to get him to settle scores later?
"Madam Fu, about this matter..."
Madam Fu raised her hand, interrupting Xia Yunqian, "What exactly happened is known only to heaven, earth, you, and me. If Madam Xia has the guts to lay a hand on someone from my Fu family, then her deep cunning is truly impressive and should serve as a warning to Mr. Xia. But if it wasn't Madam Xia's doing, Mr. Xia should be even more careful. Your wife was so easily framed; perhaps next time it will be your turn?"
Xia Yunqian: "..."
Only then did he realize how frightening it was.
yes.
What if this person is targeting him?
Having achieved her goal of intimidation, Madam Fu continued, "My Fu family is quite traditional. We believe that once a daughter is married, she is no longer considered family. Zaozao is now my daughter-in-law, so she is a true member of the Fu family. In Lincheng, no one has ever dared to be so disrespectful to my Fu family. I called President Xia here today just to remind you that you don't need to worry about Zaozao's affairs anymore. Moreover, if Zaozao is harmed again because of you, don't blame me for being impolite."
Even her threats were delivered in a polite manner, but her imposing aura was something Xia Yunqian couldn't match. She was speechless and could only watch helplessly as Old Madam Fu got up and left.
Jiang Zao was unaware that Old Madam Fu had specifically warned Xia Yunqian on her behalf; at that moment, she was at a construction site in the south of the city.
The raw materials have been delivered one after another.
"Did they all pass the quality inspection?" Jiang Zao asked.
Fang Tang was in charge of this matter. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, President Jiang, I've checked everything. The materials are absolutely fine."
Jiang Zao couldn't help but add, "Not only this batch of materials, but every time they arrive, they must be checked again. There can't be any omissions."
Fang Tang: "I know."
Fu Yanci, also wearing a safety helmet, followed closely behind Jiang Zao.
"Honey, will these things be enough to build that beautiful house in the design drawings?"
Jiang Zao turned around and took his hand. "Yes, that's right."
The three then walked to the workers' dormitory, where most of the workers had already moved in.
Jiang Zao checked the environment and found nothing amiss so far.
"I will send a resident doctor over later. Once construction begins, any minor injuries or illnesses the workers may have should be treated promptly. In addition, besides the insurance their original company has purchased for them, we will also buy each of them an extra accidental injury insurance policy," Jiang Zao said.
The foreman expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
After returning to the company, Jiang Zao immediately attended a mid-level management meeting.
Fu Yanci felt bored, so he didn't go in and instead wandered around with Momo.
He loves going to the tea rooms on each floor.
Because there are always young men and women chatting about gossip there, and they talk about very interesting things.
"Have you heard? Feifei from the business department also received harassing phone calls, and not only that, but also emails filled with those... tsk tsk tsk, such disgusting pictures."
"Again? How many times has this happened recently? It's always the business department. If you ask me, their department is too female and too weak. They need to make some adjustments."
"Linda also said that they were making a mountain out of a molehill, and that it must be because she was not careful in her daily life that she got into so much trouble. Really, it's no wonder that her subordinates are not united if a manager like her doesn't protect her subordinates like this."
Fu Yanci listened openly from the side, and since it was a corner, the people in the tea room didn't see him at all.
At that moment, a female employee rushed over in a panic.
"Breaking news! Sister Linda has also received harassing emails. This time they are even more explicit and disgusting. They are videos. A man whose face cannot be seen is facing the camera... Sister Linda is furious and has already reported it to President Jiang."
