Chapter 252 I will definitely protect you.
Jin Que patted the little girl's head and said gently, "You're welcome."
Then, he turned his gaze to Shen Qingshu, "Shall we talk?"
Before Shen Qingshu could speak, Wen Jingxi leaned closer.
"Dr. Jin, that's not right. We're all friends. Why are you telling Ah Shu something behind our backs?"
Jin Que looked at Wen Jingxi and said, "I'm sorry, it's a personal matter."
Wen Jingxi looked at Shen Qingshu.
Shen Qingshu pursed her lips and sighed, looking at Wen Jingxi and saying, "Take Xiao Anning upstairs first. Yiyi should be back soon. Have her help Xiao Anning take a bath first."
The atmosphere was clearly off.
Although Wen Jingxi was a little annoyed, he knew that he shouldn't make trouble at this time.
He carried Xiao Anning back into the house.
Only Qin Yancheng, Shen Qingshu, and Jin Que remained in the courtyard.
Shen Qingshu looked at Qin Yancheng.
Qin Yancheng paused in his tea-making.
Clearly, he was also the redundant one.
Qin Yancheng stood up. "I've boiled the water for you. You two chat. I'm going upstairs to be with my wife and kids."
Shen Qingshu said thank you in a low voice, then walked to the tea table in the pavilion and sat down, looking at Jin Que: "Dr. Jin, please sit down."
Jin Que walked over and sat down opposite Shen Qingshu.
The water in the kettle has boiled and is steaming.
Shen Qingshu did not brew tea, but stared directly at the man opposite her with a calm expression.
Jin Que knew that she no longer trusted him, and he also knew that it was his previous deliberate concealment that caused Shen Qingshu to lose trust in him.
But things had come to this point, and he had no other choice.
"The Fu family will hold a shareholders' meeting the day after tomorrow." Jin Que said solemnly, "A-Shu, your vote is crucial."
“Jin Que, we’ve known each other for four years, and I don’t want to say anything too harsh.” Shen Qingshu looked at him calmly, “But I won’t cast my vote for you.”
"Why?" Jin Que frowned slightly. "A-Shu, this turmoil in the Fu family is unavoidable. My father will not give up on the Fu family. If he fails this time, there will be a next time. Moreover, he is very likely to target the two children in order to force Fu Siyan to give up the Fu family."
"What do you mean by this?" Shen Qingshu frowned, her voice turning colder. "No matter how much Fu Baisheng resents Qin Fang or disapproves of Fu Siyan, the two children are still descendants of the Fu family. Does he really want to harm them for the sake of shares?"
Jin Que's expression was solemn. "My father is in a very extreme position right now. I will try to persuade him, but I can't guarantee that he will listen to me."
Shen Qingshu's hands, which were resting on her knees, tightened slightly, and a chill ran down her spine. "Your father is an extremely selfish man, Jin Que. You want me to support such a person? I can't do it."
“There are many things I can’t explain to you clearly. Now the entire Fu family supports my father. In order to secure his position as president of Fu Corporation, Fu Siyan offended many of the company’s veteran shareholders. Now these people are making a comeback. Even if Fu Siyan doesn’t step down this time, he will face difficulties in the future at Fu Corporation.”
"Whether or not the Fu family can be preserved is Fu Siyan's own business." Shen Qingshu looked at Jin Que and said, word by word, "The 10% of shares I hold were given to Xiao Anning by Fu Siyan in the name of her father. I am just holding them for her until she comes of age. If you insist on forcing me to stand up and cast this vote, then I'm sorry, I will leave it to Xiao Anning to make her own decision."
Jin Que was taken aback.
A four-year-old child doesn't understand any of this.
But she knew who her father was.
Recently, Fu Siyan has been paying more and more attention to his two children. Children are close to their father, which is a natural instinct based on blood ties.
Jin Que wouldn't be so presumptuous as to compare himself to the child's biological father.
“I understand.” Jin Que looked at Shen Qingshu with a helpless tone. “Then let Xiao Anning decide. The Fu Group will hold a shareholders’ meeting at 9 o’clock sharp in three days. A-Shu, you must bring Xiao Anning’s vote to attend this meeting.”
Shen Qingshu remained silent.
She knew that her absence was tantamount to abstaining from the contest.
If she were to ask Xiao Anning for her opinion, she felt that Xiao Anning would most likely support her father.
Jin Que knew that Shen Qingshu was also having difficulty making a decision in a short time.
He stood up, looked at Shen Qingshu, and said finally, "Ashu, you are the one who saved me. I hope you remember what I said today: no matter what situation I am in in the future, I will definitely find a way to protect you."
Shen Qingshu looked at him.
The man's expression was serious, but his gentle eyes and brows remained captivating, without a trace of aggression.
Those were eyes completely different from Fu Siyan's.
Shen Qingshu thought that perhaps Jin Que was more like his mother, Jin Xue.
She stood up. "Jin Que, if we're talking about who owes whom, then we're even. I saved you, but you've helped me over the past four years. So, from now on, neither of us owes the other anything. As for whether we can still be friends, that's up to fate."
…
That night, after Jin Que left, Shen Qingshu sat alone in the pavilion for a full half hour.
Finally, Wen Jingxi came out to find her.
Shen Qingshu told Wen Jingxi everything about Jin Que's background and what Jin Que had told him about the Fu family.
Whether or not to attend the shareholders' meeting has become the most difficult decision for her right now, and she needs to listen to her friends' advice.
She didn't contact Qiao Xingjia, knowing that Qiao Xingjia's emotions had been unstable lately, and she didn't want to cause her any worry.
Wen Jingxi shared the same idea as Shen Qingshu.
"Ask Xiao Anning, but she's still too young to remember things. You should record a video to keep it, so that when she grows up, she won't blame you if she's unhappy with the decisions she made when she was little!"
Shen Qingshu: "..."
That sounds pretty outrageous.
But it is indeed the simplest and most direct solution at present.
After all, 10% of the Fu family's shares are no joke.
Regardless of who the final winner is, this 10% stake ultimately belongs to Xiao Anning. In the face of this inevitable turmoil, no shareholder can remain completely uninvolved.
Since we can't avoid it, we might as well cut the Gordian knot.
So, Shen Qingshu and Wen Jingxi went upstairs to ask Xiao Anning.
Wen Jingxi, this good godfather, is really quite kind. He pulled out his phone and started recording.
Shen Qingshu sat on the bed, looking at her daughter who was wearing cartoon pajamas, and gently explained to her what shares were and what voting meant.
Xiao Anning listened very attentively.
Finally, Shen Qingshu asked her, "Xiao Anning, did you understand?"
Xiao Anning nodded, "I understand. It means that Dad and Uncle Jin are fighting over a big company. Now I have a vote. Whoever I vote for will get the big company."
Wen Jingxi laughed heartily: "Our little princess has a perfect understanding!"
Shen Qingshu patted her daughter's head, "Have you decided who you want to vote for?"
