“You don’t have to eat it, there are other options…” Fu Hanyi’s tone was chilling and terrifying.
However, before he could finish speaking, Fu Shiyi had already picked up his chopsticks.
"I'll eat it, it's my favorite food."
Knowing his own brother as he did, he knew that any other option was far more terrifying than eating the fish.
I thought he would be a kind father after having a child with his sister-in-law, but he turned out to be just as ruthless as ever.
Seeing Fu Shiyi's miserable expression, Fu Shiqin felt much better and ate an extra bowl of porridge.
After finishing my lunch break at the company in the morning, I said goodbye to Xu Qian and left.
As soon as he got in the car, he called his business partner, Ling Jiao.
"Do you have some time later?"
"Yes," Ling Jiao answered decisively.
She can't get any acting roles right now, but she has plenty of free time.
"Meet me at the Shijue Hotel in an hour," Fu Shiqin said.
Their collaboration must not be discovered by his brother and Fu Shiyi, so they have to be extremely careful when they meet.
The Grand Hotel is his property, so it couldn't be safer to meet and discuss business there.
"Okay, I'll be there in a bit." Ling Jiao readily agreed without hesitation.
An hour later, the two arrived at the hotel, a few minutes apart.
Since it happened to be a restaurant, Fu Shiqin directly requested a private room in the hotel's restaurant, and the two talked while eating.
Fu Shiyi handed over the documents he had brought, saying, "Here you go, this is the content of the cooperation. You can revise it if you have any comments."
Ling Jiao put down her chopsticks and carefully read through each clause.
"Party B is required to cooperate with Party A in engaging in various behaviors similar to those of a couple in public. What specific items are included in these behaviors?"
“Dating, holding hands, wearing matching outfits, meeting some people with me and stuff like that,” Fu Shiqin said.
"Please mark any instances of kissing or sexual intercourse as exceptions," Ling Jiao suggested.
Fu Shiqin frowned and thought for a moment, "Having sex can be excluded, but kissing... might be necessary."
“Young Master Fu, I’m at a huge disadvantage if you do this,” Ling Jiao said.
If it's just holding hands on a date, wearing matching outfits, or other casual interactions, she can play along like it's acting. But kissing... that's a bit beyond her comfort zone.
Fu Shiqin frowned, feeling a headache coming on. Kissing is something that needs to be done in special occasions and shown to others, otherwise she wouldn't seem like a couple.
"Um... when you're filming, you also have kissing scenes, right? We pay for each scene individually."
Ling Jiao hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What price is Young Master Fu prepared to offer?"
That's true. Anyway, this collaboration is just acting, so let's just consider the kissing scene as a kissing scene.
Fu Shiqin considered it for a moment and then said.
"A kiss on the cheek costs 10,000, a kiss on the lips costs 50,000, and a French kiss is charged separately..."
"I don't think there will be any French-style or anything like that," Ling Jiao interrupted awkwardly.
Since it's just for show, it doesn't need to go this far.
“Okay, if you want to see my family, the price will be different,” Fu Shiqin said.
"Do I need to meet your family?" Ling Jiao asked.
Wasn't this just for Fu Shiyi's benefit? He doesn't need to see any other members of the Fu family anymore, right?
"If necessary, we should still meet. Are there any other requirements?" Fu Shiqin asked.
Ling Jiao thought for a moment and then said.
"If the media captures photos and rumors of an affair, would Young Master Fu mind?"
“I don’t mind, let the rumors circulate as they please,” Fu Shiqin said.
Ling Jiao nodded and extended her hand.
"Then, Young Master Fu, it's a pleasure to cooperate."
