Huaguo, the capital.
Fu Shiqin, who usually either goes on "dates" with Ling Jiao or goes home to play with his nephews and nieces after work, unusually took the time to arrange a dinner at Chaofangju.
Those invited were all young heirs of major family businesses in China, including Qin Lu.
After everyone arrived, they teased Fu Shiqin.
"Second Young Master, you're such a cheapskate, you actually decided to treat us to a meal?"
"You're not planning to bring your girlfriend here to show off your love to us, are you?"
"If he dares to have his girlfriend show off their love, we should just carry him out and throw him into the fishpond."
"I agree."
...
"Damn, Fu Shiyi is out of the single life too, why aren't you guys messing with him?" Fu Shiqin said angrily.
"He didn't let us catch him. We'll talk about it when we do."
"Alright, I'm really not here to show off our love today," Fu Shiqin said seriously, his playful expression fading.
Just as he finished speaking, Fu Guozheng came in from outside.
The atmosphere in the private room, which had been relaxed, changed instantly.
The people who were laughing and joking all stopped smiling and sat up straight, looking serious and obedient.
"Mr. Fu... Mr. Fu, what brings you here?"
"Mr. Fu, it's been a long time."
...
The group stopped teasing Fu Shiqin and, except for Qin Lu, greeted him politely.
To be honest, they all both respected and feared this person.
From childhood to adulthood, Fu Hanzheng was a role model for his family to learn from, and a shadow over their growth.
However, once you get to the business world, you have no choice but to deal with him.
Fu Hanzheng sat down in the main seat, and Fu Shiqin had tea served and sat obediently beside him.
"Two more haven't arrived yet; they're on their way."
Fu Hanzheng nodded slightly and sat there silently waiting.
He didn't speak, and the others didn't dare to speak either.
So, several people sat in the private room, but there wasn't a sound.
Qin Lu cautiously observed Fu Hanzheng's expression, feeling that there was something strange about today's dinner party.
Aside from necessary business occasions, Fu Hanzheng would never appear at their private dinner parties.
Since it was Uncle Fu who made the invitation, everyone thought it had been a long time since they had gathered together, so they all came.
As it turned out, Fu Hanzheng also came.
If I had known he would come to this dinner, I probably would have made excuses not to come.
Ten minutes later, the last two people arrived.
He spoke loudly even before he was outside the door.
"Fu Xiaoer, are you planning to bring your girlfriend to us...?"
Before she could finish speaking, she entered the room and saw Fu Hanzheng, and swallowed the rest of her words.
"Mr....Mr. Fu?"
"Sit down," Fu Hanzheng said coldly.
The last two to arrive took their seats and looked at the group of rich second- and third-generation heirs who, like them, dared not utter a word. They were somewhat puzzled by the purpose of today's dinner.
They assumed Fu Xiaoer was hosting, and knowing that the guy was usually stingy, they planned to rip him off.
As a result, with the powerful Fu family in the picture, it was impossible to enjoy the meal properly.
Fu Hanzheng took a sip of tea and got straight to the point.
"Which of you has seen anyone from the Gu family recently?"
For a moment, everyone's expression changed.
Qin Lu's hand holding the phone trembled slightly. He had kept his meeting with Kuroda Shio so secret and had erased all traces, but had he still been found out?
However, if they found him, they should have called him over alone, not this whole table of people, right?
With that thought in mind, he decided to calm down and observe the situation.
