Chapter 19: The Wealthy Family's Son 19
Fu Yuanbo is not a sentimental person. In all these years since he came to the Fu family, no matter what happened, he never cried.
But this was the second time Fu Yuanbo's eyes were red today.
He had previously heard the adoptive mother say that she was willing to adopt Pudding, and that he could visit her at any time in the future.
This time, he finally tasted the flavor of his childhood memories. Over the past ten years, he had learned to forget in loneliness. He thought he had forgotten every little bit of his interactions with his adoptive mother before he was six years old.
As the rich aroma of the fermented black bean fish filled his mouth, he instantly realized that those memories were engraved in his genes and he had never forgotten them.
The past times spent with the adoptive mother were so vivid, but the days after arriving at the Fu family were like going through an NPC's storyline, dull and extremely boring.
"Mom..." Fu Yuanbo called out in a low voice, choking with sobs, almost losing control of himself. Almost no one could hear this word "Mom".
"Do you like this taste?" Shen Qian looked at him with a gentle smile.
She heard it.
Fu Yuanbo nodded, a tear quickly falling from his eyes: "Delicious!"
At the moment of tears, he turned his back to the camera, not letting anyone see his vulnerability. When he looked back, his expression was normal, no different from usual.
Chen Qian naturally saw it, but didn't expose it: "I'll cook another cucumber and egg drop soup, it will be ready soon."
She knew that even if Fu Yuanbo didn't look any different on the surface, this dish should have touched her son.
He can feel her care from the food she cooks, her words and actions, so as long as he finishes recording "Farming with Mom" at this pace, Fu Yuanbo should be able to move away from his original fate step by step.
That afternoon, Fu Yuanbo didn't let Shen Qian do any work and took care of all the sowing in the field by himself. Shen Qian wanted to help out and water the crops, but Fu Yuanbo stopped him.
[Wow, Fu Yuanbo has grown so big after eating the black bean fish!]
[Good job! That's what a man should be like!]
[66666, I didn't expect that in just a few days, Fu Yuanbo has changed so much. He is so nice to his adoptive mother, and he protects her without any blind spots, and doesn't even let Mother Shen go to work in the fields! ]
[I suddenly burst into tears when I saw this. The two have been separated for such a long time, but the feelings between them are still so sincere. ]
Fu Yuanbo not only prevented Chen Qian from going to the fields, he also brought a rattan chair for her and let her sit on the edge of the field and play with Pudding.
"You stay with Pudding and don't let it run around. If you are bored, play with your phone and don't bother me." Fu Yuanbo stuffed Shen Qian's phone into her arms again, then picked up the shovel and went to work without saying anything.
Shen Qian smiled helplessly, thinking about the system's prompt this morning, Fu Yuanbo's favorability towards her has exceeded 40, and he can use the super rich function once.
She opened the system and took a look, and was stunned.
Half a day later, the favorability value had actually increased from 40 to 55. In other words, if it increased a little more, it could be redeemed for the super rich function again.
Is the lethality of a meal of fish with fermented black beans...really so strong?
"Meow~" Pudding rubbed against her arms. Shen Qian touched its little head: "Yes, our Pudding also helped a lot."
In the morning, the system prompted that the reward for her investment amount would be doubled.
She currently has 4.5 million in her account. Once she finds a suitable project to invest in, she will be able to get double the rebate, which is 9 million, and she will have more and more money on hand.
Since she had nothing to do in the afternoon, she contacted Shao Yan, the salesperson who had contacted her with the agency before, through WeChat.
After just a few words, the other party sent a message: "Ms. Shen, due to the large amount of money you previously entrusted to our company, we have automatically upgraded you to a senior member level to monitor your property security. There is currently a piece of news that is unfavorable to you. Are you available to answer the phone now?"
Chen Qian was still recording a program, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to answer the phone, so he asked the other party to send it via text.
Shao Yan: [This afternoon, there were reports of negative information about you online that may damage your reputation.]
Shen Qian: [???]
Shao Yan sent screenshots and links.
[The story of Fu Yuanbo's adoptive mother, Shen Qian, who dropped out of school early in life and became pregnant after tasting the forbidden fruit...]
This is a long blog post published by a marketing account. The whole post vividly describes Shen Qian's previous unbearable experiences, such as how she dropped out of school, how she went to work in a factory, how she had an immoral private life, and how she got pregnant at the age of 18 and secretly gave birth to a child.
Shen Qian frowned slightly, finished reading the article, and immediately replied to the other party.
[No problem, please send me the information on the other two investment projects you have previously screened.]
Such an article would be fatal to any woman, but it had no effect on Shen Qian at all. The purpose of her traveling through time was to save Fu Yuanbo from the fate of being a cannon fodder. As for her past, even if it was black material, it belonged to her original body's past.
She couldn't change it, and she didn't need to care about it, as long as the past didn't hurt her son.
Chen Qian believes that there are more important things to do than dealing with these insignificant black materials.
Shao Yan did as he was told immediately, but he continued to send the unfinished words to Chen Qian.
[Since you are a senior member of our company, I have already helped you investigate the mastermind behind this scandal.]
Shen Qian: [It’s the Fu family, right? ]
Shao Yan was a little surprised: "Ms. Shen, you already know all this? According to our previous investigation, the operator behind this marketing account is indeed the Fu family's Suiyun Entertainment."
There was a cold color in Shen Qian's eyes, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised. To others, the Fu family was an unattainable existence, but to her, they were just characters in the book who did all kinds of bad things.
Since the plot of the book revolves around the feud between the Fu family and Fu Yuanbo, the person targeting her must be the Fu family, or even very likely Fang Yuyun herself.
As for the reason, it was probably because her appearance disrupted Fang Yuyun's original plan, allowing her to gradually escape the fate of being cannon fodder.
Fu Yuanbo's performance in the variety show was remarkable. He was unable to fulfill Fang Yuyun's plan to exchange his own son's life for his own, so he broke down and took action.
However, Fang Yuyun was quite capable this time. She did not attack Fu Yuanbo directly, but attacked her instead. She was considered to have some brains.
This level of negative information has no lethality to her personally, and she doesn't care about it at all.
But given Fu Yuanbo's current dependence on her, doing this might really irritate Fu Yuanbo.
Thinking of this, Shen Qian raised his eyes to glance at his son who was working hard in the field.
Very good, they asked for death themselves, so don't blame her for being merciless.
Shen Qian flipped open the other two alternative investment plans sent by Shao Yan.
One of them is an agency that is about to go bankrupt, called Brilliant Agency. This company is unlucky because two of its artists have run into problems with Xinghui Entertainment, where Fu Yuanbo works.
In fact, the boss of this company is quite smart. The artists he signed are all well-qualified and there are no major problems with the operation. But the problem is that the Fu family is the backer behind Star Entertainment.
How could a small company compete with a company of the size of Yun Entertainment? After a few rounds, Cuican Entertainment could no longer hold on. Coupled with poor cash flow, it was soon on the verge of bankruptcy.
The Fu family sent people to contact Mr. Zhou, the boss of Cuican Agency, but Mr. Zhou just kept gritting his teeth and refused to give in. He asked someone to check and found out that it was the Fu family who had forced him into a desperate situation before. He was unwilling to let Cuican fall into the hands of the Fu family, so he had been struggling to hold on. Even if he had to sell his hard work, he would not let the Fu family get it for free.
Shen Qian: [You should talk to this Boss Zhou. I want to buy the company, but his offer is too high. The most I can offer is 4.5 million.]
The agency that Shao Yan works for takes on all kinds of business, and business negotiation work like this is the company's main project that it is best at.
Shao Yan agreed immediately and did not ask his subordinates to do it. Instead, he handled it himself and quickly made an appointment to meet with Mr. Zhou from Cuican Agency.
Boss Zhou was already at his wit's end at this point. He owed a lot of foreign debts and his bank loan was about to expire, not to mention that his wages had been in arrears for two months, and the new month was about to begin.
His only option now is to sell Cuican. As long as he doesn't sell it to the Fu family, everything will be fine.
In fact, given his current predicament, he couldn't even refuse the Fu family.
In fact, with Shao Yan's ability, he estimated that the transaction would be completed at 4 million without any problem, but Shen Qian said that as long as it was lower than 4.5 million, the sooner it was finalized, the better.
Finally, the two parties reached an agreement to transfer the company for RMB 4.2 million and signed the transfer contract on the same day.
After Shen Qian got the contract, he made the payment immediately.
She still transferred 4.5 million to the agency's account, and asked them to help oversee the decoration of the newly purchased house with the remaining 300,000. Now that she has been with Fu Yuanbo for some time, she has a better understanding of his living habits and preferences.
[My family is about to get a cat, so I asked a decorating company to make a custom cat climbing frame for the entire house. Also, I used the best materials for the soft furnishings in my child's bedroom.]
Shen Qian thought about it and added another sentence.
[Also, the house I rented previously was a two-bedroom apartment, and it wasn't fully furnished. Could you please find an assistant to help me stock up on everything I need, so it's move-in ready? I'd also like to buy some men's clothing and daily necessities for the guest room. I'll send you the specific measurements.]
The reason why Chen Qian added this was that she was thinking that the new house was still being renovated and might not be able to be moved in immediately after the recording of the show was over. If Fu Yuanbo didn't want to stay in the Fu family at that time, she could let him live in the house she rented now. Then she would definitely need to buy some things and have someone prepare them in advance in case of emergency.
Shao Yan quickly replied: [No problem!]
He was not mistaken. It was he who applied for Shen Qian's special upgrade to a senior member with his own authority. As soon as the company approved it, Shen Qian, the customer, placed another order for a considerable amount.
Shao Yan believes that there will be more room for cooperation between the two sides in the future.
Shen Qian soon received a system prompt:
[You have successfully used the Shenhao system, and the double reward of 9 million has been deposited into your personal account.]
[The condition for unlocking the Shenhao system next time: Fu Yuanbo's favorability towards you increases to 60 (currently 55).]
Shen Qian was in a very happy mood. In just a short while, the balance in her account doubled, and she also added another agency that had gone bankrupt due to poor management.
After Shao Yan completed the company transfer procedures, he asked, "Ms. Shen, do you have any instructions regarding the Brilliant Agency?"
In addition to being good at negotiation and investment matters, the agency also has professionals responsible for the company's operations.
For some large-scale corporate hosting, the agency can even help hire professional managers to run the business.
Of course, given Cuican’s current size, there is no need for such trouble. Shao Yan himself can handle simple tasks.
Shen Qian's fingers quickly typed on the screen: [Currently, the company has a trainee named Hu Yongyan. We're arranging some acting training courses for him.]
The main reason she wanted to buy the company was because of him.
There is a plot in the original book. Fu Suiyi's Suiyun Entertainment was in a trough period. He acquired the Cuican Agency at a low price and signed Hu Yongyan. He is also a cannon fodder character in the book. He is a rare talented actor, but he became the control group of Fu Zhongyan. As long as it is a film and television drama invested by the Fu family, he can only play supporting roles.
But he is gifted, and any TV series he stars in will become a big hit, and he can also bring Fu Zhongyan to fame. Especially in the drama "Strategy of the World", Hu Yongyan devoted himself to it. Although he only played the second male lead, he contributed extremely outstanding acting skills to the drama and brought the character to life. Many viewers commented that if Hu Yongyan played the male lead, the drama would be even more exciting.
Of course, even if he was only a supporting role, he still made "Strategy of the World" a cash cow for Suiyun Entertainment. It can be said that in the original book, Hu Yongyan single-handedly led Suiyun Entertainment out of the trough.
It’s a pity that such a genius suffered from mental illness because he was too immersed in the role and kept missing out on his favorite roles.
In the end, the genius also fell.
In fact, if Shen Qian just wanted to get her son out of the black agency, it would not be difficult, but she did not like to be passive. If she wanted Fu Yuanbo to completely escape the fate of being a cannon fodder, she had to take the initiative.
Signing Hu Yongyan in advance and holding the Fu family's future cash cow in hand was Shen Qian's strategy.
