After lunch, Chu nodded to Zhong Tingyue and said, "I have some business to attend to at Yatenyi Pavilion, so I need to take the afternoon off."
"You're out of pay for today."
"No! That won't do!" Chu Fang reacted strongly upon hearing this.
"Are you short of that little bit of money?"
"I don't lack it! But that salary is the result of my labor, earned with my sweat, and is a symbol of my hard work and struggle."
For Chu Fang, a few thousand yuan was nothing, but this money wasn't given to him by a "cheat code," but earned through his own abilities, making it very meaningful and showing that he wasn't a useless person.
Zhong Tingyue waved her hand helplessly, and Chu Fang kissed her before leaving with a grin.
"You spend all your time at the company either slacking off or playing games. What's the difference between you and a piece of trash?" she thought to herself.
Just then, her phone rang. It was Gao Ruoyun calling. As soon as she answered, she heard her mother's voice: "Daughter, you're back in Shanghai?"
Zhong Tingyue hummed in agreement, while Gao Ruoyun inquired about the situation in Chu Fang's hometown. Zhong Tingyue did not hide anything and told her mother what had happened, including Chu Fang's mother's 'hostility' towards her.
... ...
Zhongyuan hung up the phone.
Gao Ruoyun frowned deeply, somewhat annoyed: "What kind of person is this? What does the death of Grandpa Chu Fang have to do with our daughter? If my daughter were a 'lone star,' we would have died long ago, and it wouldn't be Grandpa Chu Fang's turn."
Thinking that Chu's mother believed in feudal superstitions and mistakenly believed that her daughter was a "cursed lone star," she felt indignant.
Why do you say my daughter is a "cursed lone star"?
"I thought Chu Fang's mother was a nice person, speaking so kindly. I never expected her to be that kind of person. You can never judge a book by its cover. Luckily, I didn't meet Chu Fang's mother, otherwise I don't know what would have happened."
She paused, then turned to her husband and asked, "Shouldn't we advise our daughter to break up with Chu Fang? Things are already like this; if she marries into their family, she'll suffer. It's best to break up quickly. She should find someone else who's more handsome, richer, and of better character than Chu Fang..."
"Come on," Zhong Ping interrupted his wife, rolling his eyes. "Tell me honestly, how many men in this world can surpass Chu Fang?"
Someone more handsome than Chu Fang isn't necessarily richer; someone richer isn't necessarily of better character; someone of better character isn't necessarily better to Zhong Tingyue...
Seeing that his wife was about to speak, Zhong Ping waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, Chu Fang's mother is only acting out of temporary sadness, which is only natural. You should understand her, she'll be fine in a while. Besides, our daughter hasn't even said she wants to break up, so why are you, as her mother, getting involved in all this?"
"Besides, didn't our daughter say that apart from Chu Fang's mother, the rest of her family welcomes her and treats her very kindly? Most importantly, Chu Fang is on her side, so she won't suffer if she marries him."
Hearing her husband's methodical analysis, Gao Ruoyun couldn't find any other words to refute him. After a few seconds of silence, she shoved Zhong Ping and said, "You think you understand?!"
... ...
Chu Fang was unaware that his relationship with Zhong Tingyue was almost on the verge of breaking down.
We drove for a short while and arrived at Yateng Yige.
As soon as he entered, the receptionist paused for a moment, then quickly greeted him, "Mr. Chu."
Chu Fang nodded and went into the company. The older employees greeted him, while the newer employees looked at him with suspicion. But when they heard the words "President Chu," they immediately remembered that he was the company's largest shareholder and knew who the man in front of them was. They quickly bowed and greeted him.
Chu Fang looked around and saw that the company had hired a lot of new people.
Arriving at Ma Junjie's office, he knocked on the door. After receiving a response, he opened the door and went inside. At that moment, Ma Junjie was having a meeting with a group of managers. Upon seeing him, everyone immediately tensed up and greeted him, "President Chu."
Ma Junjie stopped the meeting, gestured for the managers to leave, leaving only the two of them. He stood up and poured Chu Fang a glass of water.
"Why did you call me to the company? I'm very busy." Chu Fang crossed his legs, swaying back and forth, looking carefree and unrestrained.
"..." Ma Junjie's throat was blocked by these words. It took him a few seconds to exhale and he said helplessly, "You are the largest shareholder of the company and the real boss. Do you think it's appropriate to say that? When I go out for business dinners, people treat me like the company boss."
“You already are, you also own 10% of the shares.”
Chu Fang and Ma Junjie have signed a contract. If the company performs well, the latter will own 10% of the shares and will also have the right to purchase Yatenyige's shares from the former.
If Chu Fang had sufficient assets, he could directly sell Yatenyige to Ma Junjie.
"Never mind, let's not talk about it anymore." Ma Junjie didn't want to argue with Chu Fang any further. He walked to his desk, picked up a thick document, handed it to him, and said, "These are the company's reports, project records, cost documents, and other related documents since you acquired the company."
“You’ve had the acquisition of YATANGYIG for a year now, and all the business transactions that have occurred during that time are recorded. Have someone calculate them.”
Upon hearing this, Chu Fang gazed at the azure sky outside and said thoughtfully, "Hmm... ..., it's been a year already."
The events of a year ago are still vivid in my mind. Back then, Mr. Ming committed suicide by jumping off a building because of gambling. Ma Junjie, being a good-natured person, sold his own house to leave Mr. Ming's wife and children with living expenses, and also begged him to acquire the company.
Looking back now, I can't help but sigh.
“It has indeed been a year.” Ma Junjie nodded.
For a whole year, he practically lived at the company, working tirelessly to revive it, socializing and networking with everyone, until his hair turned white.
Fortunately, his efforts paid off. After a year of hard work, he finally revitalized the company. The project was progressing smoothly, the company had hired many new employees, and there was a balance in the account. Everything indicated that the company was getting better.
Chu Fang looked at Ma Junjie and said quietly, "It's been a year and you're still single. You must be born with the 'sacred body of bachelors'."
