Chapter 50

After finishing dinner with Zou Qian, Fu Le's pager went off; it was Lu Shi calling.

Fu Le found a phone booth and dialed directly.

"Boss, the accountant just called. We've received over nine million." Lu Shi remained calm, but only he knew how rapidly his heart was pounding. Nine million in 1996? That's incredible! How did she do that?

"Yes, I've reached an agreement with the Empress. This batch is payment for the goods, not much, just a thousand bottles. Tell your people to deliver it before 2 PM tomorrow. Also, we need to sign two other contracts, one for an exclusive license and one for a sales contract. Once you've finished that, come over and sign them with Boss Zou. Bring the company seal."

There was a few seconds of silence before someone responded with an "okay".

"Is President Lu convinced now?" Fu Le teased, noticing Lu Shi's mood.

"I'm convinced, I'm completely convinced." Lu Shi smiled. Following Fu Le, he could easily make a fortune.

"It's good that you're convinced. We're making a lot of money now, and if we don't spend it, I'll feel uneasy. So, Mr. Lu, let's start a transportation company, the kind that takes on delivery orders all over the country. Perfect timing, since we'll be needing to deliver goods to customers frequently in the future. Let's just do our own delivery. Didn't you go to buy trucks? Let's buy twenty more, all at once. We can discuss the specifics when you get back."

Lu Shi: ...

If Fu Le were in front of him right now, would he strangle her? Was he his machine? Working non-stop.

"I need to hire!!"

"Yes, we must recruit. You can recruit as many as you want. However, for freight transport, being able to fight is a must. Don't forget that. Okay, you go ahead and get busy. We'll discuss the details when we get back. I need to go ask the teacher about the tutoring center later. That's all for today."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Shi sat on the stool, feeling as if his soul had left his body, as if he had been completely emptied out.

Cao Junwei looked at Lu Shi with curiosity. What did President Fu say on the phone? As soon as the call ended, he seemed to have his soul fly away.

He had only been with the company for less than a month, but he was already considered a veteran. The company had only been around for a few months. He had a general understanding of Lu Shi's personality: he was daring, generous, and decisive. He also provided generous employee benefits. In short, none of them disobeyed him, and he always gave them the impression that he was confident in what he was doing.

But this time, why is he acting so strangely after just one phone call? Could something have happened at the company?

"Let's go back to the hotel first." After a long while, Lu Shi, who had come to his senses, wiped his face, sighed deeply, and said.

"President Lu, are you alright?" Xu Chang and Cao Junwei exchanged a glance, both a little worried.

"What's up? Nothing, hurry up and hire some people." If we don't hire people, how are those cars going to get back? Seriously!! That big shot is so impulsive, listen to what he said, "He's itching all over if he doesn't spend the money, he's itching all over!! Is that how a human being talks? Is that how a human being speaks? It's infuriating!! Infuriating!! Comparisons are odious!!!"

Fu Le was completely unaware of Lu Shi's resentment towards the rich; she was strolling along the pedestrian street, enjoying herself.

"Sister? Sister!!" A familiar male voice came from behind.

Fu Le turned around and saw Wu Xuan, with several boys about his height standing beside him.

"Aren't you going to the bookstore?" Fu Le asked with a smile as he approached.

Wu Xuan's smile froze, and he touched his nose somewhat guiltily. "Sis, the high school entrance exam is over. I just came out to relax, hehe."

"Have you eaten? What do you want to eat? It's on me." Fu Le's gaze swept over the other three boys. "Your classmates?"

"Ah, yes, I forgot to introduce them. This is Wu Tian, ​​this is Xue Gan, this is Wu Feng, they are all my good brothers. This is my sister, Fu Le."

"Hello, sister," the three younger brothers said in unison.

Fu Le smiled, her eyes crinkling. Suddenly, she felt like she had gained a lot of younger brothers, and they were all handsome. Not bad, not bad.

"Let's go, we can play all day today, it's on me."

Fu Le, who was having so much fun, felt like he had forgotten something. Oh well, if he couldn't remember, he wouldn't think about it anymore.

Fufeng Study Room.

Wang Jin didn't dare to get close to Fang Ge all afternoon. He felt that Fang Ge was in a terrible mood, like a ticking time bomb, and that the slightest spark could set him off.

"Fang Ge, let's go shopping together after class?" A female classmate walked over and shyly made the invitation.

Fang Ge flipped through the long scroll in his hand, not even looking up, as if he hadn't heard anything.

The female classmate looked at his delicate profile, her face turning even redder. Thinking he hadn't heard her, she spoke again, "Fang Ge? I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Fang Ge suddenly stood up, slammed a test paper on the table, and said, "Excuse me, I'm going out for a bit."

The two shy girls were startled by Fang Ge's actions and shrank back to make way for him. Fang Ge turned aside and walked away.

The study room was completely silent...

The little girl who had been talking felt ashamed when she saw the probing looks from her classmates. She covered her face, cried, and ran away. Her best friend glared at Wang Jin and ran after her.

Wang Jin: ...

What's it to me!

The next morning, Fu Le suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something.

She left the checkered box blank...

Holy crap!

Fu Le jumped up, hurriedly washed up, ran next door to tell Liu Xin that he was going to check on the study room, and then rushed off in a hurry.

"Huh? Mom? I just heard my sister's voice. Where is she?" Wu Xuan squinted as he came out of the room, not noticing Fu Le.

“She went to the study room. Hey, Xuanxuan, why don’t you go check it out? The teachers there seem pretty good. I ran into your former homeroom teacher yesterday, and we were talking about the study room your sister found. The tutors there said it was very good.” She chatted with her son while serving him food. “If you go now and bring your sister some breakfast, I didn’t even have time to call her before she disappeared.”

"What study room?" Wu Xuan, who was initially somewhat resistant, became less averse to it when he heard that it was the place Fu Le went to.

"What's your name, Fufeng?"

"Okay, I got it. I'll go check it out later. I'm going to catch up on some sleep first." With that, Wu Xuan went back to his room.

Liu Xin: ...

"Aren't you going to see your sister? She hasn't had breakfast yet!"

"Let's do it later, my sister has money, there's plenty of food outside."

Liu Xin was furious! That brat!

When Fu Le stood at the entrance of the Chengfeng Class, class was already in session. He quickly shrank back and, through the nearest window at the back, caught a glimpse of Fang Ge and Wang Jin in the front row. Feeling guilty for a few seconds, he went downstairs. The moment he turned his head, Wang Jin looked over.

Wang Jin's eyes lit up when he saw Fu Le, and he quickly nudged Fang Ge next to him, earning a cold glare in return.

Then the teacher on the podium looked over, and Wang Jin quickly lowered his head, not daring to say anything.
