Shen Xingzhi said happily, "Once you've made a decision, you can't go back on it."
"No regrets." The caregiver nodded firmly.
"Great!" Shen Xingzhi welcomed him sincerely. "When I'm discharged from the hospital, you'll come with me."
——
Evening, Shangshifang.
Fu Jingsheng booked the most luxurious private room. To thank Ge Tian and Li Yun, he contacted several close friends, all of whom were businessmen whose companies shared common interests.
Fu Jingsheng thought that perhaps one day they could work together.
He told Ge Tian in advance that he would bring a few friends. Businessmen are eager to make more connections, and Fu Jingsheng's friends must all be prominent figures.
Shangshifang mainly serves vegetarian food, which caters to Li Yun's preferences.
Ge Tian picked up Li Yun on his way here.
"Old Li, Fu Jingsheng really put in a lot of effort today," Ge Tian praised.
“It was quite unexpected that he invited me. The key is that he did his homework and knew that I would definitely eat at Shangshifang when I came to Tiancheng.” Li Yun also noticed the change in Fu Jingsheng. “He used to be quite arrogant, right? His face always said ‘keep away.’”
"Therefore, sincerity can move mountains," Ge Tian concluded.
"I hope this is a good start, a wise investment." Li Yun rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.
"As far as I know, all of Fu Jingsheng's former business partners had 100% positive reviews of him. Don't let his youth fool you, his abilities are no less than ours, and he's extremely meticulous, even to the point of being demanding." Ge Tian and Li Yun discussed Fu Jingsheng along the way.
After hearing about Fu Jingsheng's merits, Li Yun regretted it even more. Why didn't he think of investing in such a person who has made so many contributions to society? Instead, he not only failed to invest but also put the person in a precarious situation.
“However, Lao Li, don’t regret it. We’ve been through a lot too. Perhaps the collapse of the Fu family is an opportunity for Fu Jingsheng, allowing him to build an even larger business empire in the future.” Ge Tian saw through Li Yun’s thoughts.
"Yes, if it weren't for what happened before, why would he cooperate with you?"
"That hurts, bro," Ge Tian said half-jokingly.
After arriving at the hotel, Fu Jingsheng sent the name of the private room to the group chat.
He planned to leave the task of ordering food to Li Yun.
After getting the drinks, Fu Jingsheng left the private room and waited outside for Li Yun to come over.
Not long after.
Ge Tian's car stopped in front of the restaurant. He and Li Yun got out of the car together, and the waiter drove the car away.
"President Li, President Ge," Fu Jingsheng greeted them.
"President Fu," Li Yun and Ge Tian said in unison.
Fu Jingsheng invited the two into the private room, chatting and laughing: "President Li, I haven't ordered the food yet, please take a look."
“Old Li is probably more familiar with the dishes at Shangshifang than we Tiancheng locals are. Old Li, you can order.” Ge Tian moved the menu in front of Li Yun.
Hearing others praise him like that, Li Yun didn't hold back: "Okay, I'll order. I've tried all their dishes, let me recommend a few."
Li Yun skillfully flipped through the menu and immediately found the locations of the dishes.
“Fu Jingsheng, let’s just call him by his name. Today’s dinner has nothing to do with work,” Li Yun suggested.
“Okay, my friends will be here soon. I’ll introduce them when they arrive,” Fu Jingsheng said with a smile.
The atmosphere at dinner was unusually harmonious; everyone was happy and drank quite a bit of alcohol.
Fu Jingsheng was not a strong drinker and quickly got drunk, but he still insisted on drinking in order to keep Li Yun company.
Li Yun, clutching the wine bottle, said, "Old Fu, you're drunk."
Fu Jingsheng leaned back in his chair and struggled to open his eyes: "I'm not drunk, I'm perfectly sober. Old Ge is drunk, Old Ge, wake up, have you been asleep while lying down like that?"
Fu Jingsheng tugged at Ge Tian, who was slumped over the table.
Ge Tian reached out and blocked him, saying, "I'm not drunk, I can still drink. Brother Li, let's have a drink."
None of the three admitted to being drunk.
Rong Yan received the call at 10 o'clock. Fu Jingsheng was so tired he could barely lift his head, yet he dialed his wife's number without a doubt.
"Fu Jingsheng." Rong Yan answered the call and waited for a while, but didn't hear anyone speak on the other end. "Speak up, Fu Jingsheng."
Fu Jingsheng hiccuped: "Wife... come pick me up, I can't walk anymore."
After saying that, he dropped his phone on the table.
"Fu Jingsheng." Rong Yan called out several more times, but there was no response.
"Mom, I'm going to the restaurant. Jingsheng is drunk," Rong Yan said, standing by her mother-in-law's bedroom door.
"He's so big, can you manage on your own? Wait for me, I'll change my clothes and come with you." Han Yue called out to Rong Yan.
"Mom, wait for us at home. The waiter will help us get into the car. When we arrive, you can go down to meet him." Rong Yan didn't want her mother-in-law to go through all that trouble so late.
"Okay, I'll prepare at home and make a hangover soup. Call me when you're almost there and I'll come down."
At Shangshifang, three men were slumped over the table.
Ge Tian called his assistant and asked him to bring two people over. Considering that Li Yuntian didn't know many people in the city, he would have to take Li Yuntian back with him that night.
Rong Yan arrived at the hotel first and found a private room.
As soon as I entered, I smelled the strong odor of alcohol throughout the room. Then I saw several people who were completely drunk, with bottles of alcohol scattered all over the table and not even half of the food eaten.
She wanted to take Fu Jingsheng away, but the two people next to her hadn't been picked up by Jie yet. Fearing they might encounter danger, Rong Yan sat down and waited until Ge Tian's people arrived.
The waiter helped Fu Jingsheng into the car.
Fu Jingsheng was much more docile when drunk than Rong Yan when drunk.
He curled up in the back seat, didn't say a word, and soon started snoring.
As soon as they stopped at the traffic light, Rong Yan turned around and glanced at the scene.
"Fu Jingsheng, how did you get so drunk?" Rong Yan asked him every now and then, even though the man didn't respond.
"Aren't you afraid of harming your health? You haven't even eaten a few bites of food."
“Fu Jingsheng, you’re unconscious now, but I’ll settle the score with you tomorrow.”
After he finished speaking, Fu Jingsheng actually replied, "Wife, don't hold me accountable. We were just having a great time. Li Yun didn't have any other purpose. He spoke the truth after drinking. I heard everything he said. I just can't swallow my anger. He wants to find out that Lin Wei wasted her time before she comes out."
Rong Yan was startled: "Fu Jingsheng, weren't you asleep? Are you pretending to be asleep and selectively replying to me?"
Then Fu Jingsheng fell silent again.
As the car approached the residential area, Rongyan called her mother-in-law.
Han Yue went downstairs immediately and waited in the parking space.
When she saw her daughter-in-law's car approaching, she moved aside.
After the car came to a stop, Han Yue opened the car door and saw Fu Jingsheng lying motionless in the back seat.
“He’s really drunk. He can’t walk at all, Rong Yan. We probably can’t carry him. Maybe we should just put him in the car.” Han Yue had a sudden idea. Since Fu Jingsheng was unconscious, it didn’t matter where he slept.
Before Rong Yan could speak, Fu Jingsheng suddenly woke up again: "Mom, you're too cruel."
