Fu Group Headquarters.
Fu Shiqin, who had been busy with work all afternoon, was unaware that he had made the news.
As soon as he finished work, he went straight to his older brother and said it.
"I have plans, so I won't be going home for dinner with you."
Fu Hanzheng was slightly surprised, but only glanced at him indifferently.
"Um."
Fu Shiqin glanced at his own brother, then turned around and asked with a mysterious smile before leaving.
"Brother, aren't you curious about who I've made plans with?"
"Not interested," Fu Hanzheng said, answering a phone call.
Fu Shiqin sullenly pursed his lips, went out and called Ling Jiao to arrange a meeting place.
After finishing the phone call, Fu Hanzheng explained to Xu Qian what needed to be prepared for tomorrow's morning meeting, and then left work.
However, as he drove away from the Fu family's residence, he saw Fu Shiqin's car parked on the side of the road.
He was standing by the roadside, talking to a woman, and even opened the car door for her.
However, he only glanced at it and did not stop to ask.
Fu Shiqin waited until Ling Jiao got into the car, closed the door, glanced at the Rolls-Royce driving away, and then got into the car himself.
Anyway, I'll show it to them in a few days, so it doesn't matter if his brother sees it now.
"I know a good private restaurant. Let's go there tonight."
"Second Young Master, there's no need to spend so much. I can eat anything," Ling Jiao said.
When the two of them met, Fu Shiqin covered all their expenses.
Although she wanted to contribute something, the places she had to go to were simply beyond her means.
"I just wanted to eat by myself, and it would be too lonely to eat alone. You're just here to keep me company, so don't overthink it," Fu Shiqin said with a smile.
"Then I shall respectfully accept your offer." Ling Jiao was too lazy to be coy.
Fu Shiqin drove her to a private restaurant and, as usual, ordered a private room.
While waiting for the food to be served, Ling Jiao handed over the card and invoice he had given her at noon.
"I've already had someone drive the car back for me. Here's your bank card and the receipts for the things I bought today."
Fu Shiqin put the card back into his wallet, didn't even glance at the invoice, and prepared to throw it into the trash can.
“Wait a minute, you have to keep this.” Ling Jiao reminded him.
Fu Shiqin opened it and looked inside; there was also an IOU tucked inside the shopping receipt.
"What...does this mean?"
"I can't afford to buy clothes and jewelry right now, so I'm giving you an IOU. I'll pay you back in the future."
Fu Shiqin stared blankly at the IOU in his hand, then at the woman sitting opposite him drinking tea.
Is this really necessary?
“These are all things I used, and I can’t return them to you after the cooperation ends, so they should be mine,” Ling Jiao explained.
Fu Shiqin: "Then... what's the meaning of this meal expense?"
“We’ll split the cost of our meal,” Ling Jiao said.
Fu Shiqin rubbed his forehead, "These were all my suggestions, why did you have to split the bill like that?"
After saying that, he tore up the IOU.
Other girls, knowing he's the second young master of the Fu family, still try every means to get him to spend money on them, asking for this and that.
She, on the other hand, insists on splitting the bill with him even for a simple meal.
Ling Jiao pursed her lips. It didn't matter that he tore up the IOU; she had made a note of it and would return it to him when she had the chance.
"By the way, we were photographed by the media this afternoon when we went to buy a car."
"Oh?" Fu Shiqin asked in surprise.
Ling Jiao still took out the news and handed it to him to read.
“There haven’t been many reporters following me these past few years, so I haven’t paid much attention.”
But she forgot that even if she herself wasn't attracting attention now, Fu Shiqin, the second young master of the Fu family, was still quite the focus of attention.
"So what if they took the picture? There's nothing to be ashamed of," Fu Shiqin said, taking it all in stride. He wasn't planning on hiding their relationship from anyone anyway.
As long as their cooperative relationship remains unknown, it's fine.
