Chapter 23 Chapter 23 I'm asking if you like her
After the parent-child sports meeting, the first thing Yu Wan and Fu Zhiyao did was to take off their T-shirts.
After changing clothes and getting in the car, Yu Wan put the bag containing the sports T-shirt next to the seat. This time she did not sit in the middle, but gave the middle seat to Fu Xuan.
I looked at the time and it was almost twelve o'clock.
It has been nearly five and a half hours since I was woken up by my boss at 6:30. If calculated based on three times the overtime pay, it is about 700 yuan, which is a very generous remuneration.
If you consider physically demanding sports as free exercise, Yu Wan definitely made a profit on this trip.
After the boss slowly and gracefully got into the car, Yu Wan politely said goodbye.
Fu Zhiyao glanced at her and asked, "You've been dancing all morning, aren't you hungry?"
Yu Wan blinked.
Does the boss mean to treat her to lunch?
Seeing that Yu Wan didn't answer, Fu Xu'an mistakenly thought she was about to leave, and hurriedly grabbed Yu Wan's hand: "Yu Wan, are you going home now? We haven't exchanged contact information yet, and you helped me get the trophy, at least someone who did nothing should express their gratitude."
"It's okay..."
Anyway, the boss paid me overtime pay.
Yu Wan looked up at Fu Zhiyao, expecting the boss to say something to refuse.
Fu Zhiyao lowered his eyes, carelessly brushing off the nonexistent wrinkles on the corners of his clothes, and said in a low, mellow voice, "What do you want to eat?"
Yu Wan's eyes widened.
Finally, we decided to go to a private restaurant. The owner was very capricious and only served one table of guests a day. The menu did not allow guests to choose and was based on seasonal dishes.
The mansion is located in an old alley in the city center. As Yu Wan walked in, the heavy sense of history and sedimentation even overwhelmed the high-rise buildings on the side, which surprised her.
Fu Xuan held her hand, allowing her to enjoy the scenery while walking.
There are so many new things in this world that she has not seen. Even if she cannot record them with a camera, she can still remember them with her eyes.
There was a gold-painted plaque hanging on the lintel of the mansion, with two words inscribed on it: Tongchen.
Walking into the gate of the quaint mansion, you will find a different world inside. There are several towering ancient trees planted in the yard. Under the thick shade of the trees, a middle-aged man is lying in a rocking chair reading a book. A breeze blows from time to time, and the scene is comfortable and relaxing.
Yu Wan glanced at the book in the man's hand, which was a cookbook.
I don't know how many times it has been flipped through. The spine of the book is split and is barely stuck together with soft glue. Half of the book cover is missing, as if it had been chewed by a dog.
Fu Xu'an called out first: "Uncle Qin! Let's eat!"
The middle-aged man didn't even look up, his tone familiar, without a hint of blame: "I've told you so many times to make an appointment, but you always make me make an exception."
Fu Zhiyao said with a smile, "Uncle Qin, who said I was here to spend money? I'm clearly being shameless and wanting you to treat us to a meal."
The middle-aged man closed the book, revealing a rough and unkempt face. His thick black eyebrows knitted together, like Zhong Kui: "Fu Zhiyao, don't think I won't kick your butt just because you're this old... Eh? Who is this..."
The middle-aged man's attention was immediately attracted by Yu Wan beside Fu Zhiyao. He stood up from the rocking chair and looked at Yu Wan with joy.
Fu Zhiyao heard Uncle Qin's thoughts.
- [Fu Zhiyao's girlfriend? Strange, Qiming, Qiming, I saw the daughter-in-law that you and Mingyu didn't get to see. Hmm, she looks exactly like Mingyu when she was young...]
What followed was silence with a hint of crying.
Fu Zhiyao was speechless for a moment. When he came to his senses, Yu Wan and Fu Xuan had already been enthusiastically pulled into the mansion by Uncle Qin, and he followed them in.
Just then, Yu Wan nervously denied, "No, you're mistaken. I work at Fu's and am the boss's secretary."
Uncle Qin turned to look at Fu Zhiyao, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if to confirm with him: "Hmm? Secretary?"
-【Haven't you succeeded yet? Fu Zhiyao is no good. He doesn't have half the courage his father had. It's not like Miss Yu is interested in him at all.】
Fu Zhiyao: “…”
Fu Zhiyao ignored them, strode past the three of them, and went straight into the box.
The door was not closed, and Fu Zhiyao heard noises coming from outside while washing his hands.
Uncle Qin: "Yu Wan, your boss has a very difficult personality. It's not easy to be his secretary."
Yu Wan: “…That’s not the case.”
Uncle Qin: "How could I not understand him? They say you can tell a person's future from the age of three. Let me tell you, he was very stubborn when he was little. One time he came to sleep at my house, and I forgot to prepare a change of underwear for him. I asked him to sleep naked, but he refused and just sat on the bathroom stool like a mushroom. In the end, I had no choice but to drive to his house overnight to get his underwear, and then I coaxed him into taking a bath."
Yu Wan: “…”
Stop it! Stop it! She's hearing gossip about her boss's childhood. Is she going to die?!
Yu Wan wanted to cover her ears.
Fortunately, Fu Zhiyao came to the rescue the next second. He leaned against the door frame, wiped his bony fingers with a clean towel, and spoke lightly, as if Uncle Qin was not talking about him.
"Have you heard enough?"
Yu Wan nodded subconsciously, then shook her head violently after realizing what her boss was saying.
It was the first time Fu Xu'an heard Uncle Qin talk about his brother's childhood, and he burst into laughter, "My brother was so funny when he was a child!"
Uncle Qin glanced at Fu Zhiyao, who had a cold expression, and reluctantly stopped telling stories. He asked the waiter in the restaurant to prepare tea for them, while he went to the kitchen to cook.
Before leaving the private room, Uncle Qin specifically asked Yu Wan, "Miss Yu, do you have any dietary restrictions?"
Yu Wan quickly straightened her back and said, "No, I can eat anything. Thanks for troubling Uncle Qin."
Uncle Qin smiled and said, "Okay, if you want to drink something, go to Xiao Jiang and tell him. An An, you too."
Fu Xu'an nodded: "Okay! Thank you Uncle Qin!"
While the food was cooking, Yu Wan took Fu Xuan to wash their hands. In less than half an hour, all the dishes were served, and Uncle Qin took the opportunity to stay and eat with them.
Fu Xu'an made no secret of his praise for Uncle Qin: "Sister Yu Wan, the dishes cooked by Grandpa Qin are very, very delicious. You have worked hard this morning. Eat more and eat your fill."
"Okay, I understand." Yu Wan responded with a smile, looked up at Uncle Qin, and said, "Thank you for troubling Uncle Qin."
Uncle Qin waved his hand and said, "It's no big deal. If you still want to come, just come directly. I can make you whatever you want to eat."
Yu Wan was a little confused.
Didn’t the boss say that Uncle Qin’s restaurant doesn’t accept orders?
After eating, Yu Wan knew that what Fu Xu'an said about Uncle Qin's cooking being particularly delicious was not an exaggeration at all.
They were clearly some ordinary home-cooked dishes, but the vegetables had a sweet taste, the meat had no fishy smell, and was not at all dry, nor was the flavor created by heavy oil and sauce. They were so delicious that Yu Wan's eyes lit up.
Seeing that Yu Wan liked it, Uncle Qin poured her some bayberry wine that he brewed last year. The alcohol was not strong at first, and the fruity aroma was more obvious, with a sweet aftertaste.
Yu Wan's eyes lit up: "Delicious!"
Uncle Qin laughed, "Even if it tastes good, you can't drink too much. Don't think it doesn't make you feel anything. It's actually quite strong."
Yu Wan nodded and turned to taste the other dishes carefully.
Looking at Yu Wan and Fu Xuan eating, Uncle Qin smiled with relief.
Fu Zhiyao heard his inner voice again.
Being able to eat is a blessing. Zhiyao didn't like to eat when he was little, which worried Qiming and his wife a lot, fearing their child wouldn't grow tall. It turns out that height is related to genes, and Zhiyao did grow up to be quite tall.
Fu Zhiyao paused in picking up the food, put aside all distracting thoughts, and restrained himself from listening to Uncle Qin's thoughts.
After dinner, Yu Wan took Fu Xuan back to the car first, while Fu Zhiyao slowed down his pace and chatted with Uncle Qin.
"Uncle Qin, I heard from Zhou Quyang that you didn't go to the hospital for a checkup this month?"
"You're still asking me? You're making me feel like I have some terminal illness and need a checkup every month. Once every six months is enough. Talk to Xiaoyang about it. Going every month is a waste of medical resources."
Fu Zhiyao sincerely advised: "Uncle Qin, good health is more important than anything else."
Uncle Qin never married in his life and was an old widower. Fu Zhiyao always treated him as a relative and naturally took care of his health. If there was anything wrong, he could discover it in time and prevent it from happening.
Uncle Qin said: "Finding a girlfriend is more important than anything else."
Fu Zhiyao was helpless, "How can this be compared?"
Uncle Qin refused to answer and asked Fu Zhiyao, "Zhiyao, I think Miss Yu is a good person. There are not many people in this world who are consistent in their appearance and heart. I can see that Miss Yu is a good person. Do you have any feelings for her?"
Fu Zhiyao paused, "She is my secretary."
"Who asked you that? I was asking if you like her."
"dislike."
Uncle Qin was confused: "I don't like you bringing her here to eat, and I don't like you not stopping me from telling her about your childhood?"
Fu Zhiyao said clearly, "I brought her here to dinner because she helped Fu Xu'an win the sports trophy this morning, and this is a thank you gift. I didn't stop you from talking because I wanted to test whether she would spread gossip about the boss. Besides, is it embarrassing to refuse to shower because you don't have a change of underwear? It's just because you like to be clean."
Uncle Qin: “…”
The tone is still as arrogant and cocky as when he was a child.
Uncle Qin raised his thigh and hit Fu Zhiyao on the butt with his knee. Fu Zhiyao was caught off guard, staggered forward and almost fell to the ground.
"Uncle Qin!" He turned to look at Uncle Qin angrily.
"Goodbye, I don't want to see you."
Uncle Qin put his hands behind his back and walked towards the mansion, his back looking relaxed and free, leaving the tall Fu Zhiyao standing alone and helpless at the intersection.
In the car, Yu Wan and Fu Xuan were hiding behind the window with their round eyes open and peeking.
Fu Xu'an covered his mouth and laughed. "Sister Yu Wan, did you see my brother's waving hands? They looked like giant moths!"
Yu Wan bit her lip.
It was very similar, but she couldn't laugh.
Since there was no need to work overtime in the afternoon, Yu Wan was able to ride in the boss's car back to school for free.
It takes about an hour and a half to get from the mansion to the school. On the way, Yu Wan and Fu Xuan chatted casually.
Fu Xuan asked Yu Wan what his hobbies were. Yu Wan asked Fu Xuan what interest classes he participated in. Fu Xuan asked Yu Wan if he was happy with his college life. Yu Wan asked Fu Xuan if he had a lot of homework every day.
The two were fifteen years apart in age, but they chatted with great interest, bursting into laughter from time to time.
Fu Zhiyao used the sound of the two people chatting as background music, held up the tablet and started processing documents. After just one morning, a pile of documents had piled up.
Halfway through the process, Fu Zhiyao received a message from Secretary Cai.
Secretary Cai has already found out what happened on the night of the Xingyue Hotel’s 30th anniversary celebration.
The person who drugged him and asked the media to publicize it was indeed Lu Yusen.
Before the banquet started, Lu Yusen found the waiter and gave him a large sum of money, asking him to lie in wait so that he could accurately deliver the drugged wine glass to him.
When he was first discovered, the waiter still upheld his professionalism, working for the money and not betraying his employer. However, when he heard Secretary Cai say that his employer was the president of Yufeng Group and that even if something happened, he would spend a lot of money to hire a lawyer to defend him and would not take any responsibility, the waiter eventually could not withstand the week-long confinement and confessed everything.
At the same time, it was revealed that the drug given to Fu Zhiyao was the strongest kind, enough to make Fu Zhiyao forget everything after the incident, but the waiter was concerned about Fu Zhiyao's identity and controlled the dosage when giving him the drug and did not pour it all in.
In addition, Lu Yusen also prepared a call girl who didn't mind showing her face. In the original plan, the waiter would send the drunk Fu Zhiyao to the room upstairs. Then, after the matter was settled, the media would rush in to take pictures and pretend to have found evidence of Fu Zhiyao soliciting prostitution.
Once a love scandal becomes a hot topic, it is the easiest way to destroy a person's reputation, and it is also the most despicable and immoral means.
The reason why Lu Juefeng appeared in the hotel was to stop the incident before it happened.
Fu Zhiyao looked at the news, his eyes gradually turning cold.
Because he had expected it, Fu Zhiyao was not surprised by the truth. He calmly sent a message to Qian Xicheng, the director of the acquisition department.
I heard that Yufeng Group met with Wang Buren, the founder of Tingcai Short Video, this week and expressed their interest in acquiring the company. Please send me a report on whether Tingcai is worth acquiring before 10:00 AM tomorrow.
