Chapter 17 Hush Money
"I know my limits. I simply admire his looks." Shen Nuo shrugged. If she really had feelings for him, she would not have offered to support him, but would have pursued him directly.
Seeing her calm expression, He Youyou breathed a sigh of relief: "It's best if you think so."
Her previous impression of Miss Shen Nuo was just that she was a big client. After she claimed to have lost her memory, her personality was more to her liking. She didn't want her to come to the bar every day to cry to her about the pain of love.
"But it's true. If you do something with him, it's hard to say who will suffer more."
He Youyou's gaze fell on her face, and she felt a little envious. It's good to be young. There are no pores visible on the face.
"You speak so nicely." Shen Nuo couldn't help but laugh.
He Youyou raised an eyebrow: "It's just the truth. If you like to hear it, order a bottle of my most expensive wine. I can talk until you are satisfied."
"Really? How much?"
"It's not expensive, only 500,000. I'll give it to you at a friendly price of 490,000." He Youyou said casually.
“Excuse me.” Shen Nuo said expressionlessly, “What a cunning businessman.”
He Youyou looked at her with a smile, "Life is not easy, isn't it? How can people like us compare with a young lady like you?"
"Boss He, you are too modest."
Her bar is doing really good business. It's already full of people before it even gets dark, and the waiters are so busy they can't handle it all.
He Youyou laughed, then she stood up and said, "I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go entertain the guests."
"good."
Shen Nuo responded, picked up the juice on the table and took a sip. She looked down at her phone and saw Fu Chuji had already replied: [Chen Ruo and the daughter of the Shen Group have similar names.]
Shen Nuo bit her straw, not knowing what he meant by this. She tapped her fingertips lightly: [Haha, you don't think I have any connection with the Shen Group, do you? How could that be possible? I even wanted to have a connection with them, but it's just a coincidence.]
She looked at it carefully, making sure that her reply would not reveal any clues, and then sent it.
This time, Fu Chuji responded quickly: [Indeed, if you were Shen Nuo, you wouldn't be so stingy.]
Shen Nuo: “…”
[I suggest you withdraw. A friend of mine has been defeated.]
After she sent the message, she saw that Fu Chuji had actually withdrawn it. She thought to herself: He's quite obedient.
【20,000 transferred to you. 】
Fu Chuji fell into deep thought as he looked at the three words "hush money" written on the note. It was the first time someone gave him 20,000 yuan to keep his mouth shut. It was a novel experience.
[Next time, don't say such hurtful things, or I'll have to push you down on the bed and kiss you until you behave.]
Fu Chuji: "..."
He saw this sentence appear before his eyes, but was quickly withdrawn.
After Shen Nuo quickly withdrew, he pretended that nothing had happened and changed the subject: [Are you free tomorrow? Do you want to have dinner together?]
People like her are probably those who have the desire to steal but not the courage to do so.
Fu Chuji let out a low laugh from his throat. Fang Siyue on the side looked at him with a look as if he had seen a ghost. He tried hard to move his eyes away from Fu Chuji, but the door of the box was pushed open at this moment. It was Shen Huai who arrived.
He reminded in a low voice: “Boss Fu, Boss Shen is here.”
Fu Chuji put down his phone and looked up at Shen Huai who was walking towards him.
From the facial features, they looked very similar, but Shen Huai's eyebrows were more severe. As soon as he sat down, he said, "When will Mr. Fu fulfill his promise?"
Of course he was talking about Fanxing Media.
"The contract is ready, and I won't go back on my word." Fu Chuji's tone was equally cold.
"That's great."
After two brief sentences, the room fell silent again. The two of them had always disliked each other and were only temporarily cooperating for the sake of profit. After this matter was over, they would be competitors again, not to mention that neither of them was the kind of person who liked to talk nonsense.
The slightly tense atmosphere made Zhou Qian and Fang Siyue unconsciously tense.
After a long time, Fu Chuji broke the silence.
"Mr. Shen wants Fanxing Media to enter the film and television industry, right?"
His tone was casual, yet seemed to contain a hint of sarcasm.
Shen Huai's eyes darkened slightly: "Don't bother with that."
Fu Chuji said lightly, "I heard that when Mr. Shen was still around, he had tried it before, but unfortunately the outcome didn't seem very satisfactory."
In fact, it is more than unsatisfactory. Shen Huahao has invested in several large-scale dramas, but they all ended up being flops. He also spent a lot of money to promote his artists, but unfortunately, none of them succeeded. Even the actresses who were poached from other companies began to go downhill after coming to his own company, and finally became obscure and could not be found.
After this incident, Shen Huahao was hit hard. He sold the branch and decided never to touch this industry again.
Fu Chuji brought up this matter now, simply to mock Shen Huai for wanting to follow his father's old path. Although Fanxing Media is an old entertainment company, it is not doing well now. If it were not backed by the Fu Group, it would have gone bankrupt long ago.
Fu Chuji had no interest in the entertainment industry, so he wanted to sell it, but he didn't expect to attract Shen Huai.
"Really? I heard that the Fu Group seems to have dug up something in the land they just acquired some time ago. Mr. Fu may need to be more patient and wait." Shen Huai's lips curled slightly.
A group of ancient tombs were discovered on that piece of land, and I'm afraid we can't just wait with more patience.
Fu Chuji looked at him coldly: "If you have time to care about the Fu family, you might as well get rid of the bedbugs in your own house first."
"Same here." Shen Huai pulled the corners of his lips with a forced smile.
The two of them mocked each other, completely ignoring the lives of the two trembling assistants. Zhou Qian and Fang Siyue exchanged glances: Try to persuade them.
Fang Siyue had a bitter look on his face. How could he dare to persuade him? He had no doubt that if he said one more word, President Fu would make him pack up and leave.
He had no choice, and Zhou Qian had no choice either. He had just been scolded by Shen Huai, so how could he dare to speak again?
Fortunately, at this time, a ringtone broke the silence. Seeing Shen Huai took out his mobile phone, Zhou Qinan mourned for a second in his heart for the person who called. He didn't call earlier or later, so calling now would only put him in danger.
Shen Huai picked up the phone and said coldly: "What's the matter?"
"Look at what time it is now. You are not still working overtime at the company, are you? My dear brother, you are so dedicated to your work."
Shen Huai: "...Speak properly."
Shen Nuo returned to normal: “Okay, when will you come back?”
When she came back from the bar, she was worried that she would be scolded by Shen Huai, but she didn't expect that he hadn't come back yet. So she quickly called him to show her concern. After all, in a sense, Shen Huai was making money for her.
