Chapter 90: Happy again, brother. Who says politicians are not businessmen? They are...
Fu Liangxia turned to look at him, her eyes somewhat blank. She was thinking about her recent dream, the heavy feeling of depression still lingering in her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.
After Fu Haoyao finished speaking, the air fell into an eerie silence. He felt a little regretful. He was not related to her in any way, so what right did he have to say these things? Did she hate him because of this?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He glanced at the girl beside him and said, "I don't mean anything else."
Fu Liangxia was brought back to reality by this voice and said calmly: "Yeah, I know."
After saying that, he casually asked, "Will you really get engaged to Su Xingshu?"
Fu Liangxia: “?”
Fu Haoyao continued to stare at the screen intently, seemingly uninterested in her answer. "I'm not someone who can't let go. Although I like you very much, he's not as good as me. But if you really want to get engaged to him and think it's better this way, I will, I will..."
"Won't."
Fu Liangxia never thought that she would enter the palace of marriage. Even if it was a means, she was unwilling to trap herself in that cage.
No matter who the other party is.
"I'll wait for you to leave too... What?" Fu Haoyao was stunned. He stared at her blankly for a long time, and finally smiled suddenly: "Really?"
"Um."
After receiving her affirmative answer, he leaned over and hugged her after a few seconds.
The hug was forceful yet restrained, cautious, and overwhelming.
As if it had been suppressed for too long, Fu Liangxia actually heard a slight sobbing sound.
Is he crying?
Just because you're worried about her getting engaged to Su Xingshu?
She was stunned for a moment and wanted to turn her head to see his expression, but a big hand held her head down and buried it in his arms.
A vibration was felt, and the chest rose and fell slightly with breathing. Fu Liangxia could feel the other person's hard chest muscles through the clothes.
Quite comfortable.
She thought absentmindedly and reminded him, "You were holding your phone upside down just now."
Fu Liangxia felt that almost as soon as she finished speaking, the man who was hugging her and sobbing softly froze. His fist, which was placed behind her, remained suspended in the air for a long time, as if he had suffered a great blow.
She laughed out loud.
I can almost imagine Fu Haoyao's expression at this moment, it must be very funny.
"I just like looking at my phone like this, is there a problem with that?" he said stubbornly.
Fu Liangxia suppressed a smile: "No problem, Master Fu."
However, his tone was full of ridicule.
Fu Haoyao was so angry that he pulled her out of his arms and pretended to strangle her: "Fu Liangxia!"
"I know, I know. Respect personal preferences." She smiled and dodged.
After being interrupted by him, the gloom caused by the nightmare immediately dissipated a lot. His tightly furrowed brows were smoothed, and a lively and unrestrained smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Fu Haoyao couldn't help but soften his expression upon seeing this, but he still threatened, "Stop laughing!"
But in my heart I hope she will smile again.
Because of his parents' emotional discord, he has been very sensitive to human emotions and feelings since he was a child. He can quickly perceive the emotions hidden behind even the slightest expression.
So when Fu Liangxia appeared, Fu Haoyao noticed her depression.
In the ward a few steps away, Cheng Xingzhou clenched his fists.
The two people's laughing voices came through the half-open door, like a rainstorm falling on the lake of his heart, stirring up countless ripples.
He calmly looked at the two people who were almost hugging each other. Although it was early morning, he felt that the sunlight coming in was too dazzling.
It was so blinding that he wanted to destroy everything in front of him.
Cheng Xingzhou slowly sat up, lifted the quilt, and stood on the ground, ignoring the tearing sensation in his wound.
He walked very slowly, step by step, almost masochistically engraving the scene of the two people laughing and joking into his eyes.
She is so cold-hearted.
While he was still lying in bed, she would play around with others and not pay any attention to him at all.
Cheng Xingzhou suddenly said: "Repeat two."
He didn't want to call her, as he was feeling angry, but he also hoped she would turn around.
Hearing the sound, they both turned their heads to look over at the same time.
In the half-open door, a boy in a hospital gown stood there, his black hair hanging down. The look he gave me was deep and calm, revealing a sense of impending storm.
His eyes fell lightly on Fu Haoyao, and he said nothing, but Fu Haoyao suddenly felt a subtle feeling as if he had been caught having an affair.
Fu Haoyao touched his nose: "You're awake, how do you feel?"
Cheng Xingzhou pulled his lower lip, his eyes lacking any smile: "Seeing a sweet clip of a friend so early in the morning is naturally sweeter than eating honey."
Although he didn't mention her in his words, Fu Liangxia felt that he was referring to her everywhere.
Fu Haoyao probably felt a little guilty for no apparent reason, so he offered to go downstairs to buy some breakfast.
Cheng Xingzhou and Fu Liangxia both watched him go downstairs, and neither of them mentioned that orders could be placed by mobile phone in the VIP ward.
After Fu Haoyao left, Fu Liangxia followed Cheng Xingzhou in, and a strange atmosphere enveloped her.
In fact, there was no need for her here, but because Cheng Xingzhou was injured because of her, she had to at least show her concern in form.
Fu Liangxia: "Since something went wrong during this camping trip, the school should be planning to let us go back, right?"
Cheng Xingzhou sat back on the bed, casually picked up the tablet he had been reading and continued browsing. Hearing this, he hummed calmly, "I've asked Xue Changgui to arrange the return trip. They'll leave this morning, just in time for tomorrow's class."
them?
Doesn't that include the few of them in the hospital? How are they going to get back then?
Several thoughts flashed through Fu Liangxia's mind very quickly, and Cheng Xingzhou answered her questions without even raising his head, as if he could read her mind.
"Let's take Councillor Cheng's plane." He said quietly.
Fu Liangxia was stunned, unable to understand the meaning of his words for a moment: "?"
"Just as you think." Cheng Xingzhou put the tablet aside and said casually, "Such a good opportunity for hype, how could our congressman let it go?"
…
An hour later.
The attending doctor and the nurse came to examine Cheng Xingzhou and observe his postoperative condition. At this moment, there was a knock on the ward door.
A middle-aged man who looked 70% similar to Cheng Xingzhou walked in slowly. He was wearing a well-tailored handmade suit and spotless gray-black leather shoes. He stepped on the shiny ward floor, but he felt as if he was the one who could not be desecrated.
Seeing the man come in, the medical team followed the secretary behind him out of the room.
When he and Cheng Xingzhou were the only ones left in the ward, Cheng Xiaobo spoke up, "You've made progress."
Cheng Xingzhou lowered his head and said nothing, as if he hadn't heard the man's words.
"It really paid off to send you to learn boxing. You can even block bullets for others at critical moments. You're really capable." Cheng Xiaobo sat down on the sofa next to him, raised one leg and placed it on the other thigh, with his palms clasped together.
"She is the reason why you rejected my arrangement?"
Cheng Xiaobo's tone was very calm from beginning to end, as if the injured person lying in bed was not his son, and the so-called arrangement was not to let his own son please a 37-year-old middle-aged woman.
But he had long lost all illusions about his father, and could even guess why he had come all the way here without any hesitation.
Cheng Xingzhou looked up at him calmly: "I know what you want, no need to talk nonsense."
The man showed no dislike for the impoliteness in his tone. He was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled: "Dad is going through a critical period these days and really needs your help."
Cheng Xingzhou just looked at him with an expressionless face.
Cheng Xiaobo added, "You did a good job this time. The Wang family has been active for so long, it's time to curb their arrogance. Xiaofu and the others were also present at the incident, and they can serve as very strong witnesses. And your girlfriend..."
Cheng Xingzhou: "Not my girlfriend yet."
He corrected calmly, as if he was not at all upset about his own father wanting to use him as a gun for others to publicize.
It doesn't matter, he's used to it.
There is nothing Cheng Xiaobo can't do. He is the kind of person who will do anything to achieve his goal.
For Cheng Xiaobo, it was a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone for him to have his own son stand up for justice and at the same time seize the mistakes of his political enemies.
If Fu Liangxia is willing to cooperate with the hype, that's fine. But if she doesn't, she'll be forced to cooperate even if she doesn't want to, using both rewards and threats.
Cheng Xingzhou certainly understood what his father had not yet said.
While he was still in the Enshi stage, he calmly told him the conditions proposed by Fu Liangxia.
"She can cooperate with the publicity, but there are conditions," said Cheng Xingzhou.
Cheng Xiaobo hummed, "Tell me about it."
"She wants the Blue Ocean project."
After the words were spoken, the air fell into silence.
The Blue Ocean Development Zone is one of the construction projects that the government values most this year. It has good development prospects and high profits, making it a top-notch commodity. All companies that have something to do with the project are keeping a close eye on it.
The relevant departments have been slow to give in, and at the beginning they only had their eyes on a few leading domestic companies, waiting to see which one would offer more benefits.
Now he actually asked Cheng Xiaobo to give away the most lucrative project.
Cheng Xiaobo snorted and laughed, his eyes turning colder as he said, "She has quite a big appetite, and she doesn't even consider whether she can swallow it or not."
On his way here, he had already investigated the girl that Cheng Xingzhou had rescued. The girl's family was just a nouveau riche that had only been in business for a few years. He thought he could easily win over the girl with a few small bribes, but he didn't expect that the girl would dare to ask for such a high price.
And to be clear, it was Cheng Xingzhou who saved the man, not her, Fu Liangxia. It was just a publicity stunt, to publicize the Wang family's brutality in front of the media and then praise their justice. It wasn't worth the price.
Cheng Xingzhou knew it wasn't that easy. He was also shocked when Fu Liangxia told him this an hour ago.
But then, the girl gasped and said, "As long as the steel supply is there."
The door-in-the-face technique is to make an excessive request before making a target request to make it appear relatively more reasonable and feasible.
All she wanted from the beginning was the steel supply part.
As for the reason, Cheng Xingzhou figured it out after a little thought. Since Zhongcheng Steel had collapsed, and the Cheng family faction had no businesses related to the secondary industry, her ascension seemed much more reasonable.
Sure enough, after he spoke again, the stagnant air suddenly began to flow.
After a few seconds of silence, Cheng Xiaobo said, "This Fu Liangxia is quite smart."
This is what happened.
Cheng Xingzhou knew that Fu Liangxia's request was just what Cheng Xiaobo would accept. Furthermore, this matter would also benefit their family. Instead of letting someone else take over the vacant market, it would be better to give it to someone relatively related to them, and even do them a favor.
Who says politicians are not businessmen? They are the most shrewd businessmen.
