Chapter 112 He wants to be the best and not be anyone's dodder...
At this time, the person who wanted to invite Fu Liangxia to go with him was Fu Haoyao, who was sitting in another classroom with a depressed mood.
Although he wanted to invite her, he still remembered that he was angry. He was angry that Fu Liangxia treated him differently and that she favored Bai Xin for the equestrian class.
He fidgeted uncomfortably in his seat, unable to hear the laughter and chatter of his younger brothers. He could only hear his own heart pounding, not sure if it was from nervousness or anger.
Fu Haoyao felt a little aggrieved. Fu Liangxia hadn't explained anything to him, and he'd thought he was different.
Just when he was feeling upset, the phone in his hand suddenly rang. It was the special reminder tone he set for Fu Liangxia.
He is indeed special.
Fu Haoyao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and he knew that she definitely wanted to go with him. But she had just done something excessive, so he would not agree easily.
Fu Liangxia: [I'm going out this week and I've prepared a few exam papers for you. Remember to finish them.]
She remembered to give him tutoring before going out. She could have just told his brother, but she came to remind him specifically... She had him in her heart.
The corners of Fu Haoyao's mouth curled up wildly, but he still remembered how she had made him angry.
Without even a word of explanation, you want him to come up to you like a dog?
No way.
So he looked at his watch and prepared to reply to her in three minutes.
1, 2, 3... The seconds passed so slowly that he almost thought he had solidified into a stone sculpture. Only a minute had passed, and the phone didn't make any more special notification sounds.
“…”
Fu Haoyao tossed the phone up and caught it again, repeating this several times. Finally, as if he couldn't stand it anymore, he grabbed the falling phone with one hand and slid open the screen: [Okay.]
Trying to express your dissatisfaction with cold words.
However, the other party seemed completely unaware of this and replied gently with two words: [How good.]
So good.
Fu Haoyao was instantly struck by these two light words, feeling dizzy, his cheeks heating up, his palms burning, and his heartbeat becoming disordered.
She praised him for being well behaved.
Then he has to be the best.
Fu Haoyao didn't intend to ask who Fu Liangxia went with.
He knew she was popular, and he knew he wasn't the only one who wanted to invite her to Hai City. With so many people inviting her, it would be awkward for her to refuse any of them, and she must be feeling very awkward.
He couldn't cause trouble for Fu Liangxia.

But Fu Haoyao never thought that the person with Fu Liangxia would be his brother.
When Fu Haoyao received the news, he was sitting on the Bai family's private jet. Su Xingshu, wearing headphones, was in the back seat, bobbing his head, completely immersed in his own music. Bai Xin sat quietly in a corner, legs crossed, her long cherry-pink hair falling naturally as she flipped through the book spread across her lap.
Bai Yan: "Just now when I checked the schedule, I found that there is a flight leaving from our airport this morning. Can you guess who it is?"
Fu Haoyao raised his eyebrows nonchalantly: "Who? My brother?"
There are only four of them using this airport, and there are not many other candidates who have plans for Hai City except them. It's so easy to guess.
Seeing this, Bai Yan, who had been prepared to watch the show, could not help but narrow his eyes, unsure whether Fu Haoyao knew the truth or not. What was his intention? Was he willing to let Fu Langshu go, or was he ready to join forces with his brothers?
"I heard that the girl traveling with your brother was wearing our school uniform. She was tall and thin, and had a very delicate appearance." Bai Yan said casually while glancing at Fu Haoyao's expression.
Upon hearing this, Fu Haoyao, who was originally happily playing games, suddenly tightened his grip on the game console, and the health bar of the little man on the screen instantly emptied.
The boy holding the game console had a stiff expression. He maintained his original posture and slowly turned his head to look at Bai Yan: "?"
Bai Yan's eyes slowly swept across his face, and he smiled knowingly: "It seems you don't know."
Fu Haoyao: "It may not be her."
"Really?" Bai Yan raised his eyebrows, watching him deceive himself.
"I originally thought that you brothers were starting to use some unexpected tactics, but it turns out you were also unaware of it." Bai Yan felt bad, but when he saw his friend showing such a panic expression, he felt strangely better.
Hearing this, Fu Haoyao seemed to be reminded of something and raised his eyelids: "Envy?"
We are friends for many years and we all know each other.
With just a few words, the smile on Bai Yan's face disappeared completely.
Fu Haoyao, who retorted, also felt weird in his heart, with sour bubbles rising in his stomach, and his mood was indescribably strange.
He is not a pervert who advocates brothers sharing a wife, so he can't really be happy that his brother might be liked by Fu Liangxia.
So he had been guarding the wrong person?
Riding together in equestrian lessons is nothing at all. Is there someone else Cao the thief?
Fu Haoyao was broken.
He looked at the dejected little man on the screen, cursed, angrily threw the game console on the sofa, covered his head dejectedly with the blanket, and curled up into a ball.
…
At this time, the scene on another private plane belonging to the Fu family was not at all the beautiful scene they had imagined.
Fu Liangxia flipped through the document Fu Langshu had given her. It was a few thin pages, but it summarized the key figures of the summit in concise language. Among them, those who might have connections with their collaborative projects and industry leaders were highlighted.
Honestly, this is so thoughtful that it goes beyond the scope of partnership, and it makes people doubt the other party's intentions.
On the other side, Fu Langshu took the iced coffee from the waiter, took a sip, and looked at the girl with a slightly frowned brow: "Is there anything you don't understand?"
"No, not really." Fu Liangxia raised her lips and said, "It's just that it doesn't seem to make much sense for you to let me look at this information."
Fu Langshu made an expression as if he wanted to hear more details.
"I don't seem to have the qualifications to talk to them, nor do I have the intention to bother to build relationships with them." Fu Liangxia thought seriously for a moment and said.
The Fu family's company was not a well-known name in the industry, and she herself was not a gifted talent in this field. She really couldn't think of any reason why these bigwigs would be willing to waste their time talking to her.
However, Fu Langshu's expression showed that he obviously didn't think so.
"As long as I stand by your side, no matter who you want to talk to, they will not ignore you." He said with a firm tone, his eyes and eyebrows full of pride.
He certainly has reason to be proud.
Fu Liangxia also believed that things were just as he said. As long as she wanted, she could talk to any industry leader and would not be ignored or treated perfunctorily, as long as the person standing next to her was Fu Langshu, the man who was able to support the Fu family's huge empire at such a young age.
But what's the point of this?
They paid attention to her not because she was worth interacting with, but because of the person standing next to her. She just existed like an accessory, someone who was enveloped by the symbol of the restoration of the family, a dodder without roots.
She is not herself, she is the person surrounded by the halo of Fu Langshu.
So this is his purpose?
Did he bring her to the summit so she could experience the power of fame and fortune and understand what she would gain by being with him? Could she grow freely under his wings and more easily establish her own business empire?
Fu Liangxia admitted that it was indeed tempting.
It's like a carefully prepared sweet trap. Once you step into it, you don't know what kind of abyss you will fall into.
"I don't think that's necessary." Fu Liangxia closed the folder in his hand, as if closing a page full of connections that were within easy reach.
She rarely felt a trace of pain, but she quickly put the thought behind her.
"Thank you for bringing me here to meet them, but I'd rather get to know them as Fu Liangxia herself, rather than as Fu Langshu's female companion."
Fu Langshu put away his expression, staring at her with cold eyes, revealing an aura that was not in line with his age: "You know this is impossible. Like you said, you don't have the qualifications yet."
Fu Liangxia didn't care: "Then wait until the day you have that qualification."
The two looked at each other for a long time, and the atmosphere gradually cooled down as time went on. Just when Fu Liangxia almost began to reflect on whether his wording was inappropriate and angered Fu Langshu, he saw the man suddenly smile.
Fu Langshu took the document from Fu Liangxia and threw it into the trash can: "What a pity."
If she hadn't been so resolute and had chosen the shortcut of being his vassal, she might have become a canary in his cage, no different from those who pursue fame and fortune and only want pleasure, just as boring.
But fortunately, she is not.
Fu Liangxia clearly felt that Fu Langshu's eyes had changed when he looked at her.
If before he treated her with a certain condescending and casual attitude, like looking at prey, now he viewed her as an equal.
He pulled out another document from a side cabinet and handed it to her, his eyes gentle. "I'm glad you made the right choice, perhaps a difficult one. This is the information I wanted to give you."
Fu Liangxia let out a breath. At a certain moment just now, she was really afraid of angering Fu Langshu and making him change his mind and not take her to the summit.
She opened the new document and found that although it still contained introductions to people, it was obviously much less detailed and all of them were scientific research talents.
Fu Liangxia asked, "Is it better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish?"
"Is that how you understand it? That's not wrong." Fu Langshu's eyes were filled with smiles. "Give it a try. If you can recruit one of them, it will definitely help your company reach new heights."
Fu Liangxia didn't know what to say. This was really a surprise. Nothing could be more helpful than providing scientific research talents to high-tech companies.
This is really... really...
"...Thank you." She said seriously.
Fu Langshu pinched the cup with two fingers and shook it gently: "You deserve it."
"But...if they are so capable, why would they come to our company?" Fu Liangxia was more and more surprised as he looked through the information, but he quickly calmed down and said.
Fu Langshu: "That's what you need to consider."
…
Located in Half Moon Bay of Hai City is Hai City’s most prosperous trade zone, and this is where the venue for tonight’s summit will be located.
At the turn of the moon and the sun, the sunset glows and a giant transparent building half floats above the sea. The uniquely shaped lights embedded in the building illuminate the deep blue sea water floating through the transparent floor.
Starting from the evening, there was an endless stream of luxury cars and helicopters arriving, and guests holding invitations arrived one after another and were led into the hall by the waiters responsible for reception at the door.
