Chapter 254: End of friendship
The phone rang a few times, and the international call would take a few minutes.
However, whether it is Fu Heng, Ye Qiaoqiao or Fu Juechuan, they can afford to wait for these few minutes.
Instead, Zheng Shi listened to the phone call as if he was listening to a countdown.
She sank face down in the water.
But the call will eventually get through.
When Zheng's father called out "Hello" on the other end of the phone, Zheng Shi trembled.
"Dad..." Zheng Shi called him, his voice dry.
"Zheng Shi?" Zheng's father recognized her voice and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Brother Zheng, it's me, Fu Heng, I'm looking for you." Fu Heng could tell from Zheng's father's voice that he didn't have much affection for Zheng Shi, let alone doting on her.
But Zheng Shi was willing to support the other party. Fu Heng realized this and understood that his daughter valued money and power, not the so-called fatherly love.
The sadness of being betrayed in his heart faded a little.
"Fu...Heng?" Zheng's father was obviously a little surprised.
"Brother Fu, how come you have time to contact me?" Zheng's father instantly put on a warm expression.
Fu Heng said bluntly, "It's like this. Zheng Shixuan wants to return to your Zheng family, and I can't stop her, so I'm going to apply for a new household registration for her. I want to ask you how to apply for a green card for her and transfer her household registration to your side."
"Brother Fu, stop joking. Ah Shi grew up by your side and you two have a strong bond. I can't bear to snatch the child away. After all, you don't have any other children besides Ah Shi, unlike me who have other children around me."
"What kind of conflict did you have? Now that I know about it, I will naturally try to persuade you."
"Don't let your anger ruin the harmony."
Mr. Zheng did a very good job of putting on a good show.
The first thing he said was persuasion.
Fu Heng sneered, "Oh, there's nothing wrong with the conflict. It's just that I was investigated last time and was almost implicated by the people below, and Zheng Shi just happened to testify against me."
Zheng's father was obviously panicked, as if something fell to the ground, making a loud noise.
"Ahem, Brother Fu, are you kidding me?"
"Do you think I'm kidding?" Fu Heng said angrily, "I won't talk nonsense with you. Anyway, Zheng Shi must leave my Fu family today."
"I, Fu Heng, cannot afford to raise such an unfilial daughter."
Father Zheng suppressed his anger and persuaded, "Brother Fu, don't be anxious. There may be some misunderstanding. After all, you have lived together for twenty years."
"How is it possible that there is really no emotion at all?"
"She's not my biological child. If she were my biological child, I would have to acknowledge her, but she's not my biological child. Why should I keep her? Do you think I'm a rag picker?" Fu Heng's words were unpleasant to the ear.
Zheng Shi was so angry that she was shaking all over.
Zheng's father was even more embarrassed.
"Brother Fu..."
"Brother Zheng, I'm not here to discuss with you, I'm here to inform you."
"If you don't want to accept Zheng Shi, then I don't care. I will just register her in any rural brigade..." Before Fu Heng could finish his words, he was interrupted excitedly by Zheng Shi.
"no!"
After all, Zheng Shi's mentality was not as stable as it was later.
Now that she heard that she was going to be turned into a country bumpkin, she instantly became anxious and ignored Zheng's father's whispered warning.
There is a big difference between the domestic brigade household registration and the urban household registration.
If her household registration is in the countryside, then she cannot go to the city without a letter of recommendation!
Zheng Shi would rather die than be trapped in a small village.
Ye Qiaoqiao saw it clearly from the side and said suddenly, "It seems that Zheng Shi, you really don't want to go to the countryside."
Zheng Shi looked at her defensively, "What are you going to do?"
"I didn't do anything." Ye Qiaoqiao smiled, but her smile looked malicious.
Zheng Shi's heart skipped a beat. She was so anxious just now that she forgot to cover up in front of Ye Qiaoqiao. Now that she knew her weakness, Zheng Shi felt disappointed.
"Dad, I can just register my household registration in the capital." Zheng Shi immediately looked at Fu Heng and said with pleading in her eyes.
He was afraid that Fu Heng would be brainwashed by Ye Qiaoqiao and really had her household registration moved to the countryside.
Fu Heng just sneered and didn't say whether he agreed or not.
"Brother Zheng, then this matter is settled."
Father Zheng spoke helplessly at this time, "Brother Fu, I also understand that you are upset, so I won't force you."
"After all, I am Ah Shi's biological father. It's my fault that I haven't fulfilled my responsibility. Ah Shi will still follow me in the future. But no matter what, she was raised by you, and she should be filial to you. I will educate her well." Zheng's father was obviously retreating to advance.
Zheng Shi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that her father wanted to take back her household registration.
If she didn't want to show off her abilities in front of the Zheng family, she would have to have a domestic household registration to take over the domestic market.
She has wanted to go abroad for a long time.
Now that he heard that even in the worst case scenario he could still return to the Zheng family, Zheng Shi was no longer so anxious.
Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Fu Heng say, "If Brother Zheng says so, then I won't be polite."
"That's perfect. You don't have to wait until later to be filial to me. You can be filial to me now. Brother Zheng, you see, I have raised your daughter for so many years and spent so much energy and money. You can just compensate me now."
"I won't need Zheng Shi's filial care in my old age in the future."
"Just pretend we don't know each other anymore."
"How can this be possible!" Zheng's father blurted out his true feelings excitedly.
Zheng Shi had the same idea.
She didn't want to completely sever her ties with Fu Heng.
Even though her household registration has been transferred and she is no longer a member of the Fu family, outsiders don't know about it because she is an adopted daughter anyway.
Now that her household registration is no longer in the Fu family, it is no different from her becoming a goddaughter.
Outsiders will only think that she is related to the Fu family.
With the help of the Fu family, many things become convenient. After all, many people have to give face to the Fu family, especially those in remote urban areas.
Those cadres didn't have the connections to know the true situation of the Fu family. They only knew that she was Fu Heng's daughter, so they had to give her face when doing business.
Basically, no matter what the matter is, it is approved the fastest.
If she is faced with difficulties, she doesn't know how much money she will have to pay to use connections, and the cost will be high. Even local competitor factories will make things difficult for her.
"That's exactly what I think!" Fu Heng said in a firm voice.
After saying this, he glanced at Ye Qiaoqiao and Fu Juechuan.
It seemed as if he was taking credit from the two of them.
Ye Qiaoqiao took a sip of tea and said nothing.
Fu Juechuan didn't even look at him.
Fu Heng snorted in his heart, feeling that the two were difficult to appease. He felt helpless, but not angry. Instead, he became more courageous.
"You don't have to say anything. If you want to break up, just do it cleanly and don't bother. Otherwise, if I get angry, I don't know what I will do." Fu Heng chuckled at this, "After all, Brother Zheng, your factory in China..."
That was all he said.
Those who understand will understand.
Father Zheng pursed his lips in anger, knowing that there was no room for maneuver.
He immediately said, "If that's the case, then I won't force you, Brother Fu. Let's put it this way. I don't have anyone else, so I'm sure you won't be interested in me, Brother Fu."
"I'll give Brother Fu some compensation in the form of foreign currency. What do you think?" Father Zheng was obviously confident when he talked about foreign exchange.
