Chapter 88 Chapter 88 28
Sure enough, as soon as they entered, before the soup prepared by Aunt Wang was served, someone came to tell them that the eldest young master wanted the eldest young lady to go to the study to discuss something.
"Oh, he really thinks the Fu family is in his pocket and he is the only owner." Fu Shiting was unhappy, but after looking at Ruoruo next to her, she went upstairs.
From Aunt Wang's words, she could probably guess what Fu Sinian was going to say. She was afraid that if she didn't go up, Fu Sinian would come out and act crazy, which would not only be embarrassing, but would also scare Ruo Ruo.
"Ruoruo, play with Duobaoer here first. I'll be back soon." She turned and went upstairs angrily. She wanted to see how shameless people could get!
Ruoruo held Duobaoer in her arms, looked at the eldest lady's back, lowered her eyes and rubbed Duobaoer's head.
"You have to be obedient, okay?" There is already one disliked person, and this family cannot have any more, otherwise the eldest lady will be angry countless times a day!
She rubbed the cat's head with her cheek and began to pretend to teach the kitten.
At this time, there was finally a commotion upstairs. Thanks to the best materials used in the construction and decoration of this villa, the sound insulation effect was top-notch. Otherwise, no matter whether it was Ruoru, Aunt Wang, or other housekeepers and nannies, they would have been unable to stay downstairs after hearing the noise.
"Don't target Duan Lingling anymore. She didn't intend to get involved with Sheng Binxu back then. It was just a coincidence that she appeared on the show this time. After all, they have signed a contract and it is impossible for her to breach it. Can you stop being so petty and pointing your spearhead at an innocent person? Isn't it embarrassing for the Fu family?" Fu Sinian said this with no expression on his face, as if he was simply educating his sister as a brother, but the meaning of his words was very obvious. He didn't know where his bias was.
"I'm targeting her?" Fu Shiting was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.
It turns out that people really can get angry and laugh when they are speechless.
"Have you watched the show and the information on the Internet seriously? Fu Sinian, to be honest, you are quite pretentious and disgusting. The reason I say 'quite' is not because you are only that disgusting, but because you are worthy of making me feel this much. Any more would be a waste of my feelings." Fu Shiting was actually still a little unhappy in her heart, but that was all.
Anyway, her brother had never had a good relationship with her before. If she was disappointed, Fu Shiting had already experienced it five years ago.
However, when Fu Sinian heard Fu Shiting say this, his face looked very ugly.
Although the relationship between them was not very close, he did not like his sister very much, especially because of Duan Lingling's existence. He even felt that his sister was spoiled, but he never thought that one day his own sister would point at his nose and say such words to him.
Even if someone else said such sarcastic words, he would be embarrassed, let alone being said by his own sister.
"You've really been led astray by someone with ill intentions!" Come to think of it, who could have been so good as to lead the entire school in isolating Lingling, forcing her to transfer schools? He shouldn't have ignored Fu Shiting's actions of sending money abroad all these years. If his sister had completely cut off contact with that troublemaker back then, perhaps things wouldn't be like this today!
He had never seen the harm or disgust that Duan Lingling and Sheng Binxu had done to Fu Shiting. He only remembered Bai Ruoruo's single-handed force, which nearly drove Duan Lingling to suicide and forced her to leave the aristocratic school she had attended. Even so, his own sister still remained aggressive and sided with Bai Ruoruo.
He thought he was helping the right side and not his relatives, but he didn't know that his heart had been leaning towards Nan Tianmen from the very beginning.
Fu Shiting felt that there was really nothing to talk about between them. Playing the lute to a cow would only be a waste of her time. Just as she turned around and wanted to leave, she heard Fu Sinian start threatening her with his pocket money.
Fu Shiting is really famous now.
"Fu Sinian, what qualifications do you have? I also have a share in this Fu family."
"Of course you have a share in the Fu family. No one wants yours, but with what you're doing now, do you think you're qualified to get your share? Besides sucking the Fu family's blood, spending money comfortably on luxury goods and having fun all day, and using the money to support an outsider, a woman at that? What else can you do? My parents are busy with overseas business now, and the domestic company still relies entirely on me to support it."
Fu Sinian finally expressed his dissatisfaction in his heart. Although he said that no one cared about what belonged to Fu Shiting, it was obvious that he himself did not care that much.
Perhaps this dissatisfaction existed some time ago when Fu's father revealed that he also wanted to give Fu Shiting shares, or perhaps it was even earlier.
He felt that he worked so hard for the company that he didn't even have time to rest, while Fu Shiting was idle every day and ended up having shares like him, which was not worthy of her.
Fu Shiting smiled after hearing what he said.
"I just recorded it. I will send everything you said to my parents. Since you are so dissatisfied, I will join the company."
He would never know that she didn't join the company not because she liked to eat, drink and have fun, but because this was the path their parents had set for her a long time ago.
It is enough to be a carefree young lady when you are young, marry for a little bit of shares, and be a qualified and presentable lady after you get married.
It's true that her parents gave her a life of luxury, but it's also true that they'd intended to hand over the family business to Fu Sinian from the start. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so strict with him, sending him to work at the company before he even graduated from high school, while giving her a free hand. She used to feel like she didn't want to fight for anything that wasn't offered to her, even a small stake was enough to sustain her. But now, she realized that if she didn't fight for it, it would seem like she was letting her brother down.
Fu Sinian laughed at her words, laughing at his sister's shallowness and ignorance. What could someone who knew nothing do in a company? He had been learning management knowledge since he was a child, but what about Fu Shiting? When he was learning those management and financial knowledge, Fu Shiting was probably still playing house with others.
Fu Shiting ignored his mocking smile and left. She only rubbed her brows after leaving the door.
The recording was indeed real, but complaining... honestly, knowing her parents, she didn't think it would be that useful. At most, she'd just call and scold Fu Sinian. As for joining the company, she wasn't as useless as people said, but her abilities weren't that great either.
It's just that he called her a vampire and she didn't accept it.
And although she responded forcefully, she was the only one who knew the pain and awkwardness in her heart.
"Miss~"
As soon as she reached the stairs, Fu Shiting saw Ruoru holding Duobaoer in her arms. Both heads raised at the same time, and two pairs of big watery eyes looked towards her.
Duobaoer stayed in Ruoruo's arms obediently, and even her meow was coquettish. The man and the cat were very harmonious together.
Fu Shiting's depressed mood improved a lot.
...Duobao was not like this before.
It has always been very proud and rarely tolerates being held for more than two minutes. Not to mention things like patting its head and smoothing its fur. Even her owner can only pet it once or twice when Duobao is in a good mood. But today, it has learned its lesson.
I love cats with pretty faces, but I also like beautiful women!
"It's so heavy, Ruo Ruo, you don't have to hold it all the time. It likes to go down and play with a cat in its little villa."
"Meow~" Duobaoer called out to his master, and then tried hard to shrink his head into Ruoruo's arms.
"Give it to me." Fu Shiting wanted to take it, but Duobaoer seemed to be completely deaf to the sound and just kept meowing in Ruoruo's arms.
Fu Shiting looked at the useless cat's behavior and patted its butt in annoyance.
"You didn't have a quarrel with the young master just now, did you?" Ruo Ruo asked worriedly.
No matter how much the eldest lady tried to hide it, Ruo Ruo could still see at a glance that she was in a low mood.
"It's okay, what can he do to me? He's not my dad!" Fu Shiting acted very confident, but it was obvious that she was a little melancholy and unhappy.
After a long time, I finally made up my mind and said, "I must join the company. I must join the company!"
Ruo Ruo probably guessed the reason. After all, when it came to matters of interest, it was common for siblings to turn against each other. This was the reason why Fu Sinian disliked the eldest daughter from the very beginning. Ruo Ruo had noticed it a long time ago.
"Then, Miss, you can go in. I met a lot of people while studying abroad. Although I'm not very familiar with them, we can all talk to each other. If you need anything, you can ask them for help." Although they are from abroad, as long as they have money, everything will be easy. As for why they can help her, after all, she graduated from the Xi'er Art Academy. Her paintings are not only popular, but if she really needs it, she can also exchange paintings with her teachers.
"The young lady is so capable, Ruo Ruo believes she can do anything!" If things really don't work out, she can just sell her paintings to support her. But the young lady's desire to join the company must have been a source of frustration. If she doesn't let her vent, she'll be miserable for a long time.
Fu Shiting also felt much happier with Ruoruo's support and encouragement.
After drinking some soup made by Aunt Wang, Fu Shiting took out her cell phone and prepared to call her father.
Of course, you have to file a complaint, but sometimes there are techniques for doing so. Fu Shiting sometimes just doesn't want to think too much, to consider this and that, to care about those things, but she doesn't understand. After all, she has been a housekeeper, a nanny, and a bunch of tutors since she was a child, so she is not really stupid.
Her father may not care about the relationship between his two children, but he will definitely care about the relationship between Fu Sinian and Duan Lingling.
Her parents had planned to have her brother marry like her. She had been taught to get along well with Sheng Binxu, and Fu Sinian had also been taught to choose a wife from a family of the same level.
Sure enough, when Fu Shiting said that, Fu's father didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but when he knew that Fu Sinian was taking special care of the woman who was entangled with his daughter's fiancé, he couldn't bear it anymore.
In his opinion, a man can dislike his wife and have other confidantes he likes, but those so-called confidantes must be obedient and well-behaved and just be a source of entertainment, instead of having conflicts with his own sister because of that kind of woman and doing some confusing things to make people laugh.
"Dad, my brother looks down on me. He says I'm a vampire, so I want to join the company too." Fu Shiting's words were full of dissatisfaction with Fu Sinian, and she kept complaining as if the next sentence was about to come out.
Mr. Fu agreed. He had never objected to his daughter joining the company; he subconsciously felt the need to leave the company to his son. But for his daughter, it would be a good thing if she was willing to make progress.
"Okay, I was planning to transfer the shares to you on your birthday, so I can transfer them in advance to prevent you from being bullied in the company. But don't go in and make trouble. As for your brother's words, don't take them to heart. Your brother has indeed had a hard time in recent years. You and him are both children of the Fu family. Dad will treat you equally. However, the heir to the company does need more shares to maintain sufficient say."
But he seemed a little embarrassed as he spoke, and quickly added, "But if you can join the company and make a career, and someone is willing to support you, Dad might reconsider the issue of succession. But, Tingting, you know, being an heir isn't easy. It's not something you can just say. With power comes great responsibilities."
Fu Shiting was playing with her phone and browsing the trending searches while listening to him talk, with no expression on her face, because sometimes you have to consider whether the pie is drawn or something that can be touched and eaten.
"Then I wonder if Dad is interested in the Sheng family?"
The person opposite was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then began to scold, "Tingting, what are you talking about? Are you and Bin Xu angry again?"
Duan Lingling knew that he must not have paid attention to the variety shows she was on, let alone the online trends.
"Dad, open your phone now and check the third, fifth, and sixth entries in the entertainment hot search. You should know something about what happened between Duan Lingling and Sheng Binxu. Did you know they got together again on this dating show I'm on? If you don't know, you can search their names and see how they performed in previous live broadcasts. You can also search for Ruo Ruo's name.
If Sheng Binxu and I's family backgrounds, our engagement, and what happened five years ago were revealed at this moment, would netizens side with Duan Lingling, who has already collapsed into ruins, or would they side with me?
Now Duan Lingling has collapsed, but Sheng Binxu has not. Five years ago, the wind blew towards Duan Lingling, and now it is Sheng Binxu's turn.
The most important thing is that the Sheng family is in a mess right now. The eldest brother of the Sheng family just had some trouble and was almost brought down by Sheng Binxu. If Sheng Binxu gets into trouble again at this time, I don’t dare to think who will come out to take over.”
After hearing what Fu Shiting said, Mr. Fu also started to do as she said. He didn't know what she said about the things on the Internet, but he knew something about the conflicts within the Sheng family.
He has a good relationship with Sheng Binxu's father, otherwise he would not have arranged marriages with the two children more than ten years ago. But if there really is a loophole to exploit, he will not be merciful.
Not to mention that Sheng Binxu is not his son-in-law now, even if he is already his son-in-law, his own money and the money of his son-in-law's family are different after all.
After he saw the trending searches, he became even more disappointed in the son he had carefully cultivated. How could he shamelessly ask his own sister to forgive such a woman?
You've really been blinded by lard!
Then he searched for the names of Sheng Binxu and Duan Lingling, and found a lot of live broadcast clips from the past. It was obvious that the two were in love with each other at the time, and they were just one step away from confirming their relationship. The ambiguous and even romantic atmosphere could not be hidden.
"Bastard!" Father Fu was so angry that his teeth were itching. When those things happened back then, he originally thought that Sheng Bin and Xu Zhen were just confused for a moment. After all, when he asked Bai Ruoruo to go abroad, Duan Lingling also left their school.
But I didn't expect that they would still be together five years later. What's more, it's possible that they didn't get together recently.
However, his future son-in-law, who always looked good in the eyes, looked at his daughter with a strange look on the show.
"Then just go ahead and do it. I'll ask Secretary Ma from the company to cooperate with you."
There was weariness in his tone.
This search was not a big deal, as he discovered that he had not only misjudged his "future son-in-law", but also misjudged his own son!
With such a good timing and such an obvious opportunity, he only thought about standing up for a woman and showing off to his own sister, but he didn't think about what benefits it could bring to the company!
waste!
This was a terrible thing to do, and Father Fu was furious. These were all opportunities right before his eyes! Tingting could think of something, but his eldest son, who had high hopes for him, was completely unaware of it!
Of course, it's also possible that she was aware of it, but didn't even mention it out of nostalgia. If that were the case, he would only be more disappointed.
Fu Shiting was satisfied and began to thank her father sweetly.
Secretary Ma is great. She's her father's confidant. She doesn't even have to listen to Fu Sinian at the company. She only listens to her father and only considers the company's interests. I heard that she and Fu Sinian have had a lot of friction in the past two years! Hehe, friction is good. She likes to disagree with Fu Sinian.
But before that, we still have to resolve the contract issue with the program team.
Ruo Ruo didn't have to worry, because it was already stated in the contract that she could withdraw at any time. However, she would need to spend some time to resolve her contract.
"Dad, how about we wait until my contract with the program crew expires before targeting Sheng Binxu? Otherwise, it would be considered a breach of contract. Although I didn't show it on the show, it's not a good idea either. Anyway, it's not certain whether we can continue filming now. The contract expires in a few days. Do we need to wait a few days?" It was originally only a month, and most of it had already passed.
There was a sly glint in Fu Shiting's eyes as she said this deliberately.
"No! Terminate the contract now! I'll have Secretary Ma help you with it!" He felt bad waiting even one more day, let alone a few days, if the popularity waned. "We can still afford the penalty. Besides, there's a black card in Dad's study. You can keep it. You and your friends can use it together. If you like anything, just buy it. Be generous to your friends."
Thinking of the face of Bai Ruoruo that he saw during the search, Father Fu felt both sorry and happy.
It's a pity that I was born at the wrong time and am a generation younger than him. Not to mention, he grew up in his own home with his daughter.
He was happy that his daughter had a great favor with such a person and they had a close relationship. First of all, that face destined Bai Ruoruo to be extraordinary, and he also saw someone say that Bai Ruoruo graduated from Xi'er Art College, which was enough reason for him to curry favor with her.
For a family like his that wants to take the next step and be reborn, money is important, but connections are even more important. When those so-called connections reach that level, what they care about is not how much money you can make, but what they like, and that "good" is mostly cultural things.
This is true both at home and abroad.
He has suffered from being a "cultured person" for a long time, and now he finally sees his chance.
He wanted to make progress so badly, even in his dreams. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so busy every year for so many years, even his wife and son were too busy.
Some people of his age may have already prepared to enjoy their retirement with their grandchildren. It can be said that there are very few of them who would personally expand their business outside and go abroad to negotiate cooperation with great difficulty.
But there is no other way, he just wants to make the company better and better, and take the company to the next level.
