Sun Meifen's expression changed, and she was stunned for a good ten seconds.
"Madam? Madam! Are you listening?"
Sun Meifen took a deep breath and asked in a trembling voice, "What...what are you talking about? The order is clearly mine. I've already communicated with several major brands, and we were just one step away from signing the contract! How could Huo Zhixing have taken it?"
“Yes, that’s why I find it strange too!” the secretary said, puzzled. “But I just received news that several major brands have signed contracts with Young Master Huo, and…”
"And what?"
"And it seems this order was delivered to the Third Young Master!"
"What?!"
Sun Meifen loosened her grip, and the phone fell heavily to the ground, its screen shattering.
"Mom, what's going on?"
As soon as Fu Qingyan finished speaking, Fu Chengwei walked in from the balcony, carrying a birdcage in one hand and playing with an amber bracelet in the other.
"Meifen, what happened?"
"Dad!" Fu Qingyan quickly cried for help, "Mom's order for that fashion week was snatched away!"
"Orders?" Fu Chengwei frowned, then suddenly realized, "Oh, you mean those international fashion weeks?"
"yes!"
"Haha, I gave them to Zhixing! I know where you kept those documents, so I had Zhixing come and get them!"
Fu Chengwei looked completely at ease and spoke with a straight face.
Sun Meifen wondered if she had misheard. She stared at Fu Chengwei incredulously for a long time before slowly uttering a few words, "What did you say?"
"I said, I gave this order to Huo Zhixing, so what?"
Fu Chengwei looked very unconvinced, threw the birdcage aside, and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Qingyan treated me so badly at the last banquet, and she hasn't apologized to me since! And you, you've been acting strange these past few days! You're always giving me the cold shoulder, not at all like how nice you used to be to me!"
"Hmph, she doesn't treat me like a father, and you don't treat me like a husband either!"
"So I'm getting my little revenge on you! Hehehe, how about that? Now you know how powerful I am, right?"
“You…” Sun Meifen almost couldn’t catch her breath.
Fu Qingyan quickly stepped forward to support her and rubbed her chest to help her catch her breath.
Fu Chengwei looked smug, and after he finished speaking, he stuck out his tongue and made a face.
Sun Meifen's face was deathly pale, she was breathing heavily, and her mind was buzzing.
"Hehe, I... my dad said it!" Fu Chengwei declared confidently, "In kindergarten, if anyone dared to hit me, I had to hit them back! It's the same now! If anyone dares to mess with me, I'll mess with them back!"
Sun Meifen collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Fu Qingyan was both angry and anxious, but she was at a loss and could only worry about not upsetting her mother.
Fu Chengwei was smug for a moment, then bent down to take a closer look at Sun Meifen and Fu Qingyan's faces. After confirming that they were very angry, he smiled and straightened up.
"Alright, I was very angry a few days ago, and now you're all angry. Since you're both angry, let's call it even and remain family! From now on, we should love and care for each other, understand?"
"Fu Chengwei, you, you..."
Sun Meifen pointed at him, cursing his ancestors for eight generations in her heart, but she couldn't say a word. She was completely exhausted and weak.
"Meifen, this isn't very meaningful!" Fu Chengwei lectured her seriously again. "It's just an order, what's so special about it! How much money can it make?"
"Hehe, whatever price I ask for, my sister will give me! If you really like that lousy order, I can always get it back for you, okay?"
"Fu Chengwei—"
Sun Meifen finally mustered all her strength and let out a hysterical scream. "Get out of here! Get out—"
Fu Chengwei was stunned by her shout and stood there, staring at her blankly.
"My mom told you to get out, didn't you hear me?" Fu Qingyan glared angrily and shoved him hard.
"You idiot, you moron! Get out of here!"
Fu Chengwei was stunned, as if a loud bang had exploded in his ears, and his heart was throbbing with pain.
He didn't know what he had done wrong.
They were the two who were rude to him first, so what's wrong with him retaliating?
But now... his wife blames him, his daughter yells at him, and he feels like an unwanted person in this family.
Fu Chengwei's eyes reddened, his clenched fists trembled slightly, and after a long while he slowly turned around and staggered back to his room.
"Mom, what do we do now?" Fu Qingyan asked anxiously.
Sun Meifen forced herself to calm down.
The news about this order is practically common knowledge. Everyone in the industry knows that Sun Meifen is going to take over this project.
Now that Huo Zhixing has taken it from her, where is she supposed to put her face?
However, if she could cooperate with Huo Zhixing... she would also be a part of this order.
Sun Meifen rolled her eyes and whispered, "Qingyan, quickly prepare some gifts, something valuable. We'll probably have to make another trip to Huo Zhixing's place tomorrow!"
...
In the morning, Huo Zhixing sat in his study, looking at the contract, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Orders from international fashion weeks were secured just like that; who would believe it if I told them!
This is something that Sun Meifen painstakingly snatched from her mother!
But I never expected my uncle to pull this stunt. Is this a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?
Huo Zhixing smiled and put the contract in the drawer.
Jiang Can pushed open the door and placed the freshly ground hand-drip coffee on his table. Huo Zhixing took her small hand, gently pulled her over, and let her sit on his lap.
Jiang Can hooked her little hand around his and gently pinched his nose. "You seem to be in a good mood. What's making you happy?"
