Chapter 49 The Fake Young Master's Dog Taming Guide (25) Fu Li's heart is more painful than blood...
Fu Li was startled. He had a premonition that if Yan Qibai discovered what he was about to do at this moment, he would definitely be stopped.
So he put on an impatient look, frowned slightly, and said coldly, "Have you had enough? Didn't I tell you, I don't want to rely on you for everything. I can do it all by myself!"
The man placed his hand on his shoulder and said with a hint of pity, "Alright then. But just remember, Ah Li, your brother will always be your support."
Fu Li detested his brotherly demeanor, knowing full well their relationship yet still acting like the older brother; she really didn't know what kind of quirk he had.
Back at the apartment, Yan Qibai eagerly leaned down and kissed the young man's lips, frantically drinking the saliva from Fu Li's mouth like a thirsty person, while calling out in a low voice:
“Ali…Ali…Baby…”
The calloused hand gently caressed the back of the young man's delicate, fair neck, as if it were a long-suppressed desire.
"Hmm..."
Soon, Fu Li was devoured like a piece of candy, the wrapper removed. They went from the living room all the way to the bed in the bedroom.
Yan Qibai's ferocity overwhelmed the young man. He passively endured it all, tilting his head back as if offering a sacrifice, while the contents of the project plan appeared before his eyes.
If this succeeds, Jiang Yang will be able to break free from the Yan family's businesses and no longer have to live this messed-up life!
Fortunately, Yan Qibai didn't discover anything. The next day, he got out of bed early and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Fu Li.
Fu Li was utterly exhausted. That bastard Yan Qibai, for some reason, had been pestering him until the early hours of the morning. Now, he could barely stand up, let alone get out of bed.
The man was quite responsible; he brought the soy milk into the room, held the young man in his arms, and fed him the soy milk spoonful by spoonful.
"It seems Ali can't go to work in this condition. I've asked for leave for you. Rest well at home, and I'll come see you again tonight."
After saying that, he kissed Fu Li on the forehead and went out.
It wasn't until noon that Fu Li finally managed to get out of bed, supporting his back. He strongly suspected that Yan Qibai, that bastard, had deliberately tormented him like this to get revenge for not listening to him last time and insisting on going to work on time.
"Is this dog... in heat?" he muttered to himself as he went to the study to find the project proposal.
For the next three months, Fu Li worked tirelessly to secure the project. Joint meetings were held more than a dozen times, and finally, the tripartite agreement was signed.
The main client is very satisfied with his revised project and has already started the first round of investment; all that's missing is the funding from the Lin family.
However, at this crucial moment, the Lin family remained silent.
Fu Li kept urging him and calling privately to inquire, but there was still no news. Finally, he almost rushed to the Lin Group headquarters before President Lin finally replied to him.
"Young Master Yan, I've thought about this business deal and decided to call it off. The risk is too high. Your two families can afford it, but I'm not willing to take it. Let's just forget about it."
Fu Li was so angry she almost laughed: "President Lin, you didn't say anything when we were negotiating, and you didn't say anything when we signed the agreement. Now you're saying you're unwilling to take the risks? Are you kidding me?! Today, no matter what, Lin's funds must be in place, otherwise you're in breach of contract!"
Mr. Lin sneered, "Fine, then go ahead and sue me with the agreement. The project plan that Yan's Group gave you back then is completely different from what it is now. Now that a hole has appeared, let's see if you go bankrupt first or if the court orders me to pay the penalty for breach of contract!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Li's vision went black, and he immediately realized that the other party's confidence was his weakness.
Fu Li, who initially thought his business partner was safe, was now filled with regret for his actions. However, he still needed to clarify one thing—
"Uncle Lin, playing me like this won't do the Lin family any good. Since you never intended to cooperate with me, why did you set this trap for me? I don't think I've ever offended you."
Over the past few months, the Lin family's facade has been flawless; even President Lin himself has attended several meetings. He simply doesn't believe they would be so free as to spend so much time and energy just to trick him and make a fool of himself.
Seeing that he had grasped the essence of the problem at a glance, President Lin stopped pretending.
He adopted that earnest tone again, slowly speaking to Fu Li over the phone: "Xiao Yan, you are indeed good, and you are trying very hard to prove yourself. But what level are you at? What kind of company is Jiang Yang Investment? Compared to the Yan family, it's not even a hair's breadth."
Fu Li had heard these words countless times. He struggled to sit still at his desk, painstakingly analyzed the other party's words, and finally asked, "President Lin, do you have some kind of deal with the Yan family?"
The other person remained silent for a while, which was tantamount to acknowledging his words and the connection between the two events.
Fu Li immediately flew into a rage, slamming his fist on the table and roaring, "How much benefit did that bastard Yan Qibai give you! You've been making a fool of me for the past few months!"
Yan Fuli may not be a business genius, but he's not a complete fool. No one but Yan Qibai could have gone to such lengths to get the Lin family to risk damaging their business reputation and maneuvering with him for months.
Mr. Lin sighed and said to him, "Mr. Yan is willing to sell me that piece of land around the subway in the southern new city of S City at a 20% discount. Xiao Yan, even if your investment succeeds, the money you make, plus the entire Jiangyang, won't be enough to offset that 20% profit. I'm a businessman, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Fu Li was completely consumed by rage, her whole body trembling. She roared into the phone again, "I'm telling you, you're going to pay this penalty! I'll expose this tomorrow and ruin the reputation of the Lin family. Let's see who will cooperate with you from now on!"
President Lin could have stopped talking to him, but perhaps to further mock him, he said calmly, "Xiao Yan, you're too naive. What kind of company is Lin's? It's perfectly normal for them to back out of business occasionally, especially since the other party is just a small company like Jiang Yang Investment, and the court hasn't even ruled against me for breach of contract yet. You're not qualified to ruin my reputation."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Meanwhile, the young man on the other end almost collapsed to the ground.
Just then, the secretary who came in to inquire about the progress noticed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to support him, asking with concern, "General Manager, are you alright?"
Fu Li supported her arm, his face ashen, but he still insisted, "I'm fine."
The secretary, however, didn't think so: "You look terrible, you should go to the hospital to get checked out..."
“No need!” Fu Li said firmly, her face ashen, yet she reassured the other person resolutely, “I just have a bit of low blood sugar. By the way, how’s the project going?”
The secretary said worriedly, "They said the funds must be in place within three months, otherwise it will be treated as a breach of contract. General Manager, is there any news from the Lin Group?"
Fu Li patted the back of her hand. "I'll handle it. Go out and tell everyone to get back to work. This project must succeed!"
His words successfully boosted the secretary's morale. After she relayed the general manager's words to everyone, the others felt reassured because they thought there must be no problem since the general manager had said so.
At this moment, however, the general manager's office was filled with gloom and despair.
Fu Li buried her face in her hands, pondering what to do next.
He'd been tricked by Yan Qibai. Perhaps it had been waiting for him all along, but he was too foolish to realize it until now.
He could have easily called Yan Qibai and given him a piece of his mind, but given the current situation, he might have to ask that person for help later.
As for the Lin family... it was a trap set by Yan Qibai from the very beginning. Even if they sue now, the breach of contract penalties won't cover all the losses. By then, Jiang Yang will already be bankrupt. Moreover, Jiang Yang is primarily responsible for the breach of contract penalties from the third party, and they will have to pay even more...
No wonder the Lin family was so confident, because Jiang Yang was the only one who lost the most in this game!
At this moment, Fu Li was caught in a dilemma.
If he tries to support himself, where will he find the money to cover Lin's expenses? Jiang Yang didn't have the ability to do so from the beginning, which is why he sought help from others. But if he bows down to Yan Qibai now... perhaps he will never be able to escape Yan's control again.
Fu Li was confused.
He put on a brave face in front of his colleagues until the end of the workday, then returned to his residence in a daze. Before he could even turn on the lights, the living room lights automatically turned on.
A tall, handsome man stood in the center of the living room, holding a revealing bunny girl dress in his hand, smiling at the young man who had just returned, as if he had been waiting for him all along.
Fu Li was taken aback, watching Yan Qibai walk forward with the clothes in his hands, comparing them to his body and saying happily, "This outfit was made exactly to A Li's measurements. It fits perfectly. A Li, why don't you try it on tonight?"
Seeing his eager and exciting expression, Fu Li's confusion faded, replaced by a surge of hysterical anger.
He still retained some rationality at this moment, suppressing his anger as he asked:
"What do you mean?!"
Yan Qibai's eyes sparkled. "Didn't Ali want to talk to me about Yan's investment to plug the project's holes? Since it's a request, shouldn't you show some sincerity?"
Fu Li's heart was colder than blood, and every muscle in his body began to tremble with rage. He no longer cared about anything and rushed forward to punch Yan Qibai's face, which disgusted him. However, his skills were no match for those of a man who had trained for many years, and he was quickly subdued and pinned against the wall.
At this moment, the young man's fair and aloof face was almost distorted, his eyes were bloodshot, and he tried to struggle but his limbs were held down. He roared, "Why should I be played like this by you! The Lin family's investment is gone, Jiang Yang's project is ruined, what good does that do you?! Why are you targeting me?!"
Fu Li was so aggrieved that tears streamed down his face, like a newborn child. He didn't understand the treacherous nature of the business world, nor did he understand why Yan Qibai insisted on doing this.
Yan Qibai's eyes also darkened, a cold and gloomy aura surging forth, as he coldly said, "Isn't this Ali's fault?"
"It was your insistence on modifying the project details that caused a 200 million deficit. If you hadn't been so willful and headstrong, you wouldn't have ended up like this. It's because Ali's ambition was too great and her greed was insatiable. What do you want to do? Do you want to prove yourself to your father? Or do you want to use this opportunity to get rid of me completely? I've said it before, from the day the deal started, you have no chance to turn back. It's because Ali is too selfish, too arrogant, and too insatiable that things have come to this."
“It’s all your fault, and as your older brother, I’m willing to give Ali a chance to make amends. Shouldn’t Ali say thank you?”
Fu Li was utterly shocked by his distorted and thuggish logic. Anger was no longer enough to describe his feelings at this moment; even tearing Jing Qibai to pieces would not be enough to vent his anger.
He roared and struggled like a wild beast, doing nothing but making himself appear insane.
Yan Qibai looked down at him from beginning to end, firmly pinning him to the wall, unable to move.
This scene made Fu Li appear both pathetic and laughable. Finally, he ran out of strength, fell silent, his eyes drooping as if he had lost all hope, his body convulsing uncontrollably from sobbing.
After admiring the young master's pitiful appearance for a while, Yan Qibai finally let go, putting his arm around Fu Li's waist to prevent him from slipping down. He gently licked the tear stains on Fu Li's face and said tenderly:
"Alright, Ali, don't be so sad. It's not like I'm not going to help you. Put your clothes back on and give me a good performance. Once I'm satisfied, I'll invest in your project, how about that?"
