In the conference room on the top floor of the Fu Group building, amidst applause and sighs of relief that everything was finally done, the teams on both sides of the long table stood up one after another.
Jiang Wanru smiled and extended her hand, "President Fu, it's a pleasure to do business with you!"
"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"
After shaking hands, Fu Yanci glanced at his watch, then turned to Xiang Yang and instructed, "Arrange lunch, let's all have a meal together."
There was still work to do in the afternoon. At the dinner table, everyone drank tea instead of wine and promised to do their part well, striving to make the Tenix project as perfect as possible.
As the event ended, the crowd gradually moved outwards.
Jiang Wanruo turned to Fu Yanci, "President Fu, would you like to have a private meal with me sometime?"
"Can."
Fu Yanci nodded. "Do you mind if I bring my wife along?"
Jiang Wanruo was taken aback, then looked at Fu Yanci with a helpless yet amused expression, "Is Mr. Fu henpecked or a henpecked husband? It's just a private social gathering, it can't be that serious, can it?"
Perhaps it was because the cooperation was successful that he was in a good mood.
Or perhaps it's because Jiang Wanruo's behavior isn't so annoying.
Fu Yanci said in a deep voice, "Whether it comes to that depends not on the other party, but on you and me. You may not care about being misunderstood, but I do. Of course, Madam will not misunderstand, but I do not want anything that could potentially lead to a misunderstanding to happen."
With a slight raise of her eyebrows, her eyes held a mixture of admiration and regret.
Jiang Wanru shrugged nonchalantly. "Then, would you mind if I asked a more personal question?"
Fu Yanci raised his eyes.
Jiang Wanruo smiled and said, "You might think that confession in college was just the result of others egging me on, but for me, I was serious. And you rejected me."
"Even so, I didn't give up. I always believed that as long as I was good enough, one day you would see me."
"I'm confident I can prove to you that I'm your best choice!"
Marriages in wealthy families are mostly business alliances between people of similar social standing.
From the initial intention to arrange a marriage to the actual wedding, it can take anywhere from one or two years to three to five years.
That's a long enough time for the two people involved in the marriage to develop feelings for each other.
Jiang Wanruo always felt that among the elegant ladies of the wealthy families in the capital, she would be Fu Yanci's best choice.
Those prettier than her don't have her ability to stand on their own.
Those who are more talented than her are not necessarily more beautiful.
In short, she is equally adept in social situations and domestic matters, and she is confident that she can be Fu Yanci's best partner in both career and life.
After striving towards this goal for so many years, before Jiang Wanru could stand before him again, radiant and ready to confess her love, news came from China that Master Fu had gotten married.
"I've already met Ye Li!"
The image of seeing Ye Li last night flashed through her mind. Jiang Wanruo said matter-of-factly, "In terms of appearance and figure, I am no worse than her! In terms of ability, I am the vice president of Jiang's Group, while she is a college student who has not yet graduated. It is obvious who is more beneficial to you. In terms of family background, the Ye family has already gone bankrupt, so I don't need to say more."
"Fu Yanci, if I had come back sooner, and if I had gone to that matchmaking event at Fu Garden, would you have chosen me?"
Jiang Wanruo asked.
Fu Yanci shook his head and answered decisively, "No."
"Why?"
Even though she was drinking tea, not wine, Jiang Wanru seemed to have mustered her courage and looked up at Fu Yanci, asking, "From the beginning until now, eight years. I've liked you for eight years, and I ask myself, am I good enough now? Where exactly did I go wrong?"
"Thank you for your honesty, Mr. Jiang!"
Fu Yanci stood up and looked at Jiang Wanruo with a gentle expression. "Love also has its order of arrival. Just like what I said when you asked me if I wanted to be your boyfriend that year when you were drunk. I have someone I like, and I always have."
"Ye Li?"
Jiang Wanruo's eyebrows almost flew off.
Fu Yanci smiled but said nothing, then turned and faced outside.
Behind him, Jiang Wanruo's chuckling voice rang out, "Fu Yanci, although it's a bit offensive, I still have to say, you're a real beast!"
