Chapter 75 Chapter 75 I Like You
Then, he heard Yu Wan's voice and fell from heaven again in an instant.
"Boss, I'm here to talk to you about the bidding for the New Trade Building. I'd like to take over the project and be the person in charge, from the initial bidding to the final implementation. I hope you'll give me this opportunity."
"I have no excuse for what happened yesterday. Lu Sui, also known as Lu Juefeng, and I lived together in the Xin'ai Orphanage when we were young. I only met him again after joining the President's Office. During that time, I never discussed anything related to the Fu Corporation with him. I can assure you that I absolutely have never sold any internal company project information. Please believe me, even if I were fortunate enough to participate in the bidding for the New Trade Building, I would never use it as a bargaining chip to exchange for so-called benefits."
She also mentioned this during her conversation with Lu Sui yesterday.
She didn't believe that a bidding document from Lu Yusen could give Lu Sui freedom. He was just talking, and anyone who took it seriously was a fool.
Lu Sui's situation was caused by the entire Lu family, and Lu Yusen was one of them. Can the perpetrators pretend to be innocent just because their behavior of indifference was relatively minor?
After all, he was not a child anymore, so Lu Sui did not tell Yu Wan in detail about his experiences living in the Lu family.
As an adopted child, Lu Sui's role is quite simple: to show the kindness of the Lu couple to the outside world and establish their image as a philanthropic couple; internally, it is just because a master calculated that Lu Yusen is destined to have a disaster and needs a child with the same surname to ward off the disaster, so Lu Sui was chosen because of his outstanding appearance.
At first, he was slapped just for accidentally breaking a spoon, but later, whenever Lu Zongxin was in a bad mood, he would punch and kick him at any time.
Lu Sui's expression was calm when he talked about this matter, but he frowned when Yu Wan mentioned Lu Yusen's exchange conditions.
Lu Sui and Yu Wan had the same idea. She couldn't do it. No matter which side Yu Wan stood on or who she was selfishly leaning towards, she could do the illegal act of betraying the company and disclosing commercial secrets.
In other words, even if Lu Sui could really gain his freedom because of the bidding document, would Fu Zhiyao, after realizing the losses suffered by the Fu family, turn a blind eye and pretend nothing happened, and let Yu Wan go?
The so-called freedom is nothing more than robbing Peter to pay Paul.
"Yu Wan." Fu Zhiyao's throat felt sore. "I never suspected you would leak the secret."
Even when he saw Yu Wan getting closer to Lu Juefeng yesterday, he had no doubts. He was just unwilling to accept it. This unwillingness was like an arrow on a string, with the sharp arrowhead burning with the fire of jealousy, which could hurt the person he cared about most at any time, leaving him with no choice but to turn around and leave in embarrassment.
He suddenly wanted to refute Cheng Liang's statement that love is not a competition. If it is not a competition, why would emotions such as frustration, depression, and pain entangle him?
This is so contradictory.
A subtle change of emotion flashed across Yu Wan's eyes: "If you didn't doubt me, why did you deliberately ignore me some time ago? Isn't it because Lu Yusen sent me flowers? Did you mistakenly think that I had a private relationship with him and would do something detrimental to the company?"
Thinking about it carefully, Fu Zhiyao's cold treatment started not long after she received the flowers from Lu Yusen.
As the company's president, Fu Zhiyao had millions of opportunities to find out the information of the person who sent the flowers faster than her. Combined with what Secretary Shang and Secretary Cai said: Fu Zhiyao has his own set of judgment strategies for selecting key employees. If you are suddenly treated coldly for a period of time, there is no need to doubt yourself, because that is the only way to get promoted and get a raise.
Can it be understood that Fu Zhiyao has long known about her connection with Yufeng Group, and his cold treatment is just an important step in testing whether she meets the requirements of a secretary?
Fu Zhiyao frowned.
How is this related to Lu Yusen?
Facing Shang Yuwan's serious gaze, Fu Zhiyao suddenly realized that the mysterious 'Mr. Sen' who had been sending flowers for more than half a month was none other than Lu Yusen, and the man driving the flashy red sports car was also Lu Yusen.
Fu Zhiyao's mind was confused for a few seconds, then he calmed down.
Lu Yusen doesn't necessarily want to pursue Yu Wan, otherwise he wouldn't deliberately avoid him. Perhaps he is using this to threaten Lu Juefeng, or perhaps he is using this to threaten Yu Wan.
Yu Wan and Lu Juefeng probably met that day to discuss this matter, and Yu Wan is explaining it to him now because of this matter. After going around in circles, everything can be summarized in one sentence.
Fu Zhiyao: "Lu Yusen is bidding for Xinmao."
"Yes." Yu Wan confirmed Fu Zhiyao's idea.
Fu Zhiyao took a deep breath. "But this has nothing to do with my cold treatment. Yu Wan, believe it or not, other than the background check when you joined the company, I never used any means to investigate your private life."
"Why is that?" Yu Wan asked.
Fu Zhiyao pinched the cold compress, his lips moving, but for a long time, he couldn't say a word.
The next second, the doorbell rang outside, and the ding-dong sound broke the stagnant atmosphere in the room.
Yu Wan stood up, avoiding eye contact with Fu Zhiyao, and explained, "On the way here, I ordered delivery from Judelou. It was yam and vegetable porridge, with some refreshing side dishes. Eating some porridge will make my stomach feel less uncomfortable before taking the medicine, and it can also replenish my energy."
The property staff placed the takeout packaging bags on the shelf at the door. Yu Wanti walked in, put them on the dining table, took out the lunch boxes and arranged them. Finally, she took out the documents prepared by Secretary Cai from her shoulder bag and placed them on the sideboard, away from water and food to avoid getting them wet or contaminated.
After thinking for a while, Yu Wan took out a note, wrote down the precautions and frequency of taking the medicine, and placed it on the dining table together with the medicine box.
"I've delivered the documents you needed. Boss, get some rest. Follow the instructions on the note for the medicine you need. If you still feel unwell, call driver Xiao Cheng and have him take you to the hospital. It's getting late, so I'm going home first."
Yu Wan carried her bag to the entrance to change her shoes. Before leaving, she looked back at Fu Zhiyao. He was still sitting on the sofa with his head down, in a daze, and the heavy security door was closed.
The sigh and the sound of the door closing collided together, like a drop of rain falling into a pool of water.
snap
snap
It was the sound of raindrops hitting the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Fu Zhiyao looked up. Fine raindrops brushed across the transparent glass window, making a tapping sound and gradually covering the entire floor-to-ceiling window with a grayish dark color.
Yu Wan didn't seem to bring an umbrella.
Fu Zhiyao finally took action. He stood up, grabbed a straight-handled black umbrella from the umbrella stand in the entrance hall, and opened the door without hesitation.
There are two elevators in the apartment building, one passenger elevator and one freight elevator.
The passenger elevator that Yu Wan was riding on had already started to descend, and Fu Zhiyao could only wait for the freight elevator next to it.
When she ran out of the elevator, Yu Wan had already left the apartment building. She held her bag above her head and ran into the rain. Her thin black figure seemed to blend into the surrounding environment.
"Yu Wan! Wait!"
Hearing the hoarse and familiar voice, Yu Wan slowed down her pace and turned around. Fu Zhiyao, who was wearing light-colored home clothes, was already standing in front of her. His strong chest suppressed the unsteady ups and downs. The woody scent of wormwood poured towards her as he tilted the umbrella, as if wrapping her up completely.
Yu Wan put down the bag she was holding above her head to keep out the rain, wiped the raindrops from her eyelashes, and looked up at Fu Zhiyao: "Boss."
The sky had completely darkened and everything was quiet. Only the dim light from the street lamps poured down, casting a few blurry spots of light on the wet ground.
Fu Zhiyao stared at Yu Wan, rolled his Adam's apple with difficulty, and all the words he wanted to say became meaningless in their gaze at this moment.
"Yu Wan."
Just by calling out Yu Wan's name, Fu Zhiyao's voice couldn't help but tremble.
"You can't do this to me."
You can't say you don't like him and then always be nice to him. That's too cruel, like cutting his heart with a blunt knife.
"Didn't you ask me why I treated you coldly during that time?"
Fu Zhiyao's throat was burning with the heat of a high fever, but his voice was unexpectedly clear and firm. "My indifference, awkwardness, and abnormality are all because of..."
"I like you."
These four words, along with the raindrops and lights, hit Yu Wan's heart without warning.
Yu Wan's pupils shrank slightly, and her whole body seemed to be paused. She stood there silently, letting the cool breeze pick up the ends of her hair to prove that she was not a sculpture.
Fu Zhiyao was not at all surprised by Yu Wan's reaction. It was not difficult to say "I like you". It was just four simple words. Like a belated tsunami, the surging emotions in his heart seemed to have found an outlet and suddenly calmed down into a peaceful sea.
“I… yes…”
Yu Wan opened her mouth stiffly to say something, but was interrupted by Fu Zhiyao: "No need to say anything, no need to say anything, Yu Wan, I know everything."
Fu Zhiyao's face looked normal, his voice was hoarse, and his deep and high brow bones were hidden in the shadows, making them difficult to see clearly. He pulled the corners of his mouth towards Yu Wan, revealing an expression so faint that it was almost not a smile, and tears flashed faintly in his eyes.
At this moment, Fu Zhiyao finally understood why he had been reluctant to say, or even to admit, that he liked Yu Wan.
Sadness, loss, hesitation, resentment, and regret twisted into a strong rope, tying up his self-esteem, which he refused to express his love for at that time.
Because he knew that once he confessed his feelings to Yu Wan, Yu Wan would definitely reject him.
And he wasn't willing to take no for an answer.
"You don't need to apologize, Yu Wan. It's enough that you don't hate me."
Yu Wan's breathing seemed to be held tight by an invisible hand. When she was about to speak, a black car slowly drove up to the two of them. The passenger window rolled down, revealing Xiao Cheng's smiling young face.
"Boss! Secretary Yu! Good evening!"
Fu Zhiyao's expression became indescribable. He glanced coldly at Cheng Liang, who was showing his eight teeth. The latter seemed to finally realize that something was wrong. He shrank his neck and kept silent.
After a few breaths, Fu Zhiyao calmed down. He opened the back door and put the umbrella into Yu Wan's palm. "Take the umbrella. Get in the car and go home early."
Without waiting for Yu Wan's answer, Fu Zhiyao turned and walked towards the apartment building. After a few steps, he couldn't help but look back. When he met Yu Wan's gaze, he slowed down his pace and smiled.
"Yu Wan, remember to send a message when you get home."
The hoarse voice was soon blurred by the gentle breeze and drizzle.
Not far away, in a black nanny car.
Fu Xuan supported his chin with both hands, looking at Sister Yu Wan and Brother Chou who were chatting under the umbrella with a confused look on his face. The distance was too far and he could not hear what they were talking about at all.
She pulled Ma Yinfang's sleeve and said, "Grandma, why can't we disturb them? I haven't seen Sister Yu Wan for a long time. I want to talk to her."
Ma Yinfang looked calm as she leisurely played Happy Candy Crush on her phone. The system's cheers when she eliminated the patterns echoed in the small space of the car, revealing a sense of ease that was out of tune with the rainy night outside the window.
Ma Yinfang said, "But my brother is chatting with Sister Yu Wan now, isn't he?"
Fu Xu'an curled his lips and said indifferently: "What can my brother talk about with Sister Yu Wan? He is always fierce and will scare Sister Yu Wan."
Ma Yinfang turned her head to look at the two people who were still chatting under the umbrella. "Who knows? Wait until they finish talking, then go ask your brother."
Fu Xu'an immediately shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, my brother will beat me!"
Ma Yinfang laughed, "Alright, alright, just be patient and wait a little longer."
After a while, Fu Xuan jumped up and down in the car.
"Oh yeah, we're done, we're done. Oh no... Sister Yu Wan got in the car and left, and my brother went home too. I didn't even have time to say hello to Sister Yu Wan! That's terrible!"
Ma Yinfang exited the game page and took out a folding umbrella from the storage box. "Okay, now let's go see your brother."
He had a fever all day and didn't even tell her. If Secretary Cai hadn't mentioned it when he sent her a message, she wouldn't have brought An An to see him at this time.
Just as I was about to open the car door, a message popped up on my phone.
It was sent by Fu Zhiyao.
Zhiyao's beloved grandson: [Grandma, I like Yu Wan, but Yu Wan doesn't like me. What should I do to make her like me?]
