Chapter 227 Earning Money is for My Wife
Jiang Ranxing opened her tired, watery eyes and looked at Fu Shenyuan without saying a word.
She simply raised her hand slightly and slapped Fu Shenyuan's hand away.
Fu Shenyuan's body stiffened as he saw that he had come up empty-handed.
Jiang Ranxing said calmly, "What's the point of me remembering? My life has already been ruined by your Fu family. Will remembering make things better? Will anything be different?"
Jiang Ranxing rolled her eyes at him, her eyes clearly showing some impatience.
"I really don't understand you. Aren't you afraid that I might remember something bad and hate you even more than I do now?"
Fu Shenyuan's heart tightened; how could he not be afraid?
But he was even more afraid that Jiang Ranxing wouldn't remember that she loved him.
Fu Shenyuan smiled and said, "Perhaps you also want to remember those things. Now you can easily get the things you wanted in the past. Maybe that's a good thing."
Jiang Ranxing chuckled softly: "I don't think so, Fu Shenyuan. Your eagerness to make me remember means it's more beneficial for you. You're a businessman, you wouldn't do anything that would lose you money, would you?"
Fu Shenyuan's expression darkened as he stared intently at her face.
"I have never measured you by value or material worth!"
Fu Shenyuan said this with a somewhat serious expression.
However, Jiang Ranxing didn't care much.
"Whether it's value or anything else, Fu Shenyuan, I don't care. I don't care what you think, so it's completely meaningless for you to tell me these things. Do you understand?"
Jiang Ranxing glanced out the window; "Didn't you say you wanted to talk about serious matters? Go ahead, I'm going back to rest after you're done."
She really didn't want any contact with Fu Shenyuan; his touch was really uncomfortable for her.
Fu Shenyuan felt his heart being crushed once again. After being repeatedly rejected and met with setbacks, he thought he had become numb, but he didn't realize that as long as his heart was beating and moving, there would always be a day when it would hurt.
Fu Shenyuan concealed the pain in his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"During my contact with Wan Luyuan today, I noticed that he seemed very afraid of what he knew. I suspect that it's not just about economic crimes, but may involve more complex and serious matters. Wan Luyuan's line of work is definitely worth investigating further. Did Xiao Hui reveal anything suspicious?"
Jiang Ranxing shook his head: "Xiao Hui knows very little about Wan Luyuan and the Fu family. She doesn't care much about these things, so don't worry about her."
Fu Shenyuan looked at her: "You misunderstood. I'm not asking you to find out anything through Xiao Hui. I'm worried about the personal safety of Xiao Hui and Mai Mai. I will have Tan Shen send people to protect them secretly."
Jiang Ranxing said, "Is the matter really that serious?"
Fu Shenyuan nodded and said, "You don't usually come into contact with these dangerous things, so you naturally don't think it's a big deal. But I know my second uncle very well. In extreme situations, he's capable of anything. Since we're going to have a direct confrontation with him, we have to be extra careful. Leave this to me, don't worry."
Jiang Ranxing had no doubts about what Fu Shenyuan was doing, after all, the people he kept under his command were not just sitting around doing nothing.
Jiang Ranxing nodded slowly.
Fu Shenyuan turned and walked towards the bookshelf, raised his hand, entered the password, opened the safe, and took out a bank card from inside.
He walked towards Jiang Ranxing with the thin card in his hand and handed it to her.
"You and Xiaohui seem to get along very well. Why don't you go out together sometime? Buy whatever you like and use my card."
Jiang Ranxing looked at the card between his two fingers and smiled with interest: "President Fu is so generous, giving me this kind of card so easily. I remember this card has no limit. Aren't you afraid I'll spend all your savings?"
Fu Shenyuan remained expressionless and even handed the card closer.
"The money I earn is meant to be spent on my wife anyway, so it's only right that I give it to you," Fu Shenyuan said, tilting his head slightly.
Jiang Ranxing looked up at him and said, "Who's your wife? I'm your ex-wife."
Fu Shenyuan didn't refute, but simply said, "You never spent any of my money when you were my wife, so consider this a payment. You can use the card however you like."
Fu Shenyuan seemed afraid that Jiang Ranxing would not understand, so he took her hand and placed the bank card in her palm.
That's all I wanted to say. You can go back to your room and rest now.
After finishing his sentence, Fu Shenyuan sat back down at his desk and turned on his computer to work on the files.
Jiang Ranxing looked at the card in his palm, didn't think much of it, picked it up and walked out of the study.
Since Fu Shenyuan was willing to give it to her, why should she refuse? It wasn't like she asked for it willingly.
Besides, she might not even use the money she takes. She has more money than she can spend, so she doesn't really care about Fu Shenyuan's money.
After returning to her room, Jiang Ranxing handled some work as usual before taking a shower and going to bed.
The next day, after returning from his morning practice, Fu Shenyuan called Jiang Ranxing to go to the company together.
The two arrived at the Fu Group relatively early. Fu Shenyuan went back to the president's office, while Jiang Ranxing went to her public relations department.
Faced with Jiang Ranxing, the public relations director who rarely comes, everyone in the department is on high alert. Firstly, she is their immediate superior, and secondly, she is the president's wife; who would dare to offend her easily?
Jiang Ranxing didn't stand on ceremony when he arrived. He arranged for a meeting to be held in the morning and went there himself with his documents.
At the public relations meeting, Jiang Ranxing sat in the main seat, watching his employees report.
Jiang Ranxing nodded and clapped his hands.
"You all did a great job. You didn't slack off at all while I was away. For such a large company as the Fu Group, all aspects of public relations work require your personal involvement. I hope you can maintain this work ethic in the future. If you have any questions, please communicate directly with the public relations manager. His opinion is my opinion."
Jiang Ranxing nodded to the young and capable Manager Li, who returned the gesture.
Jiang Ranxing had already spoken with this Manager Li before.
Jiang Ranxing was very direct: "Manager Li, 'public relations' is just a nickname. You know my real profession is design. To be honest, my position in the group is just a nominal one. If there is any work to be done, I'll have to trouble you to handle it."
As he said this, Jiang Ranxing signed his name directly on the approval form.
"This is your bonus from your previous project. Go to the finance department to collect it. You don't need to get Mr. Fu's signature; I'll approve it."
Manager Li took the approval form, glanced at it, and put it down with some apprehension.
"Director Jiang, this isn't appropriate. These bonuses are too much; I can't take so many."
Jiang Ranxing smiled calmly and pushed the folder over again: "I said you can take it, so you can take it. This money will be deducted from your CEO Fu's salary. He has the money, so take it. I approved it, so you don't need to worry."
Jiang Ranxing thought for a moment and then said, "Our department's employees must have been busy for a long time, so they should also receive some bonuses."
Manager Li watched Jiang Ranxing's actions with confusion, only to see her take out another approval form and add many zeros after the bonus amount written for the employees.
Manager Li was even more alarmed. No matter how successful the public relations department was, when had they ever received so many bonuses? It was even higher than their annual salary plus year-end bonus.
"Director, this is probably against the rules. If people find out, they'll say our public relations department is too extravagant."
Although Manager Li knew that it was only right for the public relations department to receive some bonuses, he only considered that as long as they received a small amount of bonuses.
Jiang Ranxing's stroke of the pen was no small matter; anyone would be somewhat apprehensive, and might even wonder if it was a death sentence or hush money from the department.
"Don't overthink it. I told you, your CEO Fu is rich. This money will be deducted from his salary. In addition to his salary, he also receives bonuses. This is nothing."
Jiang Ranxing handed the second approval form to Manager Li: "Okay, listen to me, go to the finance department to go through the process."
Manager Li thanked him repeatedly and left the office with two approval forms that looked like imperial edicts issued by the Empress.
This led to the scene at the public relations meeting that morning, where everyone cooperated and supported Jiang Ranxing.
After exchanging some polite words, Jiang Ranxing continued explaining the benefits: "Besides the necessary work, I'm giving everyone an extra paid leave so you can relax."
The public relations team was almost moved to tears; they didn't know how to express their gratitude to the new director.
Jiang Ranxing wasn't there for the praise, so he dismissed everyone and went back to his office. As soon as he arrived at the office door, he saw Tan Shen standing there.
Upon seeing her, Tan Shen said politely, "Madam, you're back."
Jiang Ranxing glanced at him: "What do you want?"
Tan Shen opened the office door for Jiang Ranxing and then followed him inside.
"The finance department reported that you approved two large bonuses and said they would be deducted from General Manager Fu's account. Since the amounts are so large, I've come to confirm them in person."
Jiang Ranxing sat down in the large leather swivel chair and nodded: "Yes, I approved it. Is there a problem?"
Jiang Ranxing paused for a moment and then smiled: "What, is your CEO Fu feeling the pinch? Didn't he say yesterday that I could spend the money as I pleased, and that I'd give my department employees some perks, which is nothing, right?"
Tan Shen remained expressionless, knowing full well that Jiang Ranxing was just saying that. In reality, this was definitely not about providing some benefits for the employees; it was tantamount to openly robbing money from President Fu's account and using the president's annual salary to pay ordinary employees for fun.
There is probably no one else in this world besides Jiang Ranxing who would dare to do this and wouldn't be intimidated by Fu Shenyuan.
Tan Shen replied respectfully, "President Fu didn't mean that. He doesn't know about this yet. The finance department reported it to me first, so I came to ask my wife to make sure there wasn't any misunderstanding."
Jiang Ranxing didn't want to doubt Tan Shen's work ethic.
"Then tell him. If he doesn't agree, I'll just use his card to make a smuggled payment."
Tan Shen lowered his head: "Okay, I'll report to President Fu. Madam, please continue with your work."
Jiang Ranxing didn't say anything, and Tan Shen left Jiang Ranxing's office.
In the president's office, Tan Shen showed Fu Shenyuan the reports and documents sent by the finance department and the invoices signed by Jiang Ranxing.
As usual, Fu Shenyuan checked the financial statements first, and only noticed the document last.
Tan Shen relayed Jiang Ranxing's original message to Fu Shenyuan. He thought Fu Shenyuan would be somewhat displeased, but to his surprise, he saw Fu Shenyuan's lips curl up, revealing a very satisfied smile.
Tan Shenqi asked, "Mr. Fu, do you have no objection to your wife's actions?"
Fu Shenyuan's smile disappeared, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.
Should I have any objections?
Tan Shen replied, "To be honest, Madam's expense is somewhat unreasonable."
After Tan Shen said that, Fu Shenyuan felt even more relieved.
"Tan Shen, you don't understand."
Tan Shen truly didn't understand Fu Shenyuan's current thoughts. He was only considering the matter from a professional standpoint and never expected that Fu Shenyuan was only considering it from an emotional perspective.
"Mr. Fu, what do you mean?"
Fu Shenyuan still had a smile on his face: "I'd love for her to spend my money. At least she still has me in her heart, right? If I give her the card and she still insists on keeping things separate from me, then I really don't know who to talk to."
After hearing this reason, Tan Shen did not respond to Fu Shenyuan for a while.
He knew that Fu Shenyuan had deep feelings for Jiang Ranxing, but he never expected that it would turn the usually calm and calculating Fu Shenyuan into this.
At that moment, three words popped into Tan Shen's head at an inopportune time.
Love-struck.
Thinking about it this way, it's not a big deal. Upon further reflection, the boss really is someone who is easily swayed by emotions. Such a person, once they set their sights on someone, can even do things that are incomprehensible to ordinary people.
Tan Shen was already surprised and puzzled when Fu Shenyuan gave up control of the entire Fu Group in order to find Jiang Ranxing. Now it seems that everything has a reasonable explanation.
Tan Shen has nothing more to say.
"As you wish, Mr. Fu, I replied to the finance department, and they allocated funds to the public relations department."
Tan Shen hesitated and said, "But your... never mind, I'll go out first, Mr. Fu."
Fu Shenyuan didn't ask Tan Shen what he wanted to say, he just nodded.
Just as Tan Shen reached the door and grasped the doorknob, Fu Shenyuan remembered something very important and called him back.
"Did the vice president come today? Let's have a meeting with him."
Fu Shenyuan's expression was no longer as relaxed as before; it had turned into a serious, elite look again.
After receiving the order, Tan Shen said, "I will make the contact and get back to you later."
Tan Shen acted swiftly, contacting the vice president's secretary and quickly setting a meeting time. He then personally went downstairs to invite Fu Hongkai upstairs.
Fu Hongkai wasn't in a very good mood, and when he went upstairs and happened to see Fu Shenyuan, he could only manage a forced smile.
In contrast, Fu Shenyuan was much calmer and took the initiative to greet him.
"Second Uncle, please come to the meeting room, let's have a talk."
Fu Hongkai didn't say anything and walked towards the conference room.
Fu Shenyuan, who was watching from behind, stopped and called Tan Shen over: "Go and invite Madam up here. She should come and listen too."
After receiving instructions from Fu Shenyuan, Tan Shen went to the public relations department again and invited Jiang Ranxing upstairs. However, when they arrived upstairs, Tan Shen did not lead Jiang Ranxing to the conference room.
Jiang Ranxing asked in confusion, "Weren't you asking me to come up here for a meeting?"
Tan Shen explained, "What President Fu meant was that it would be better for you to sit in the office; going to the conference room wouldn't be as relaxing."
With that, Tan Shen invited Jiang Ranxing to Fu Shenyuan's president's office, made a few adjustments on the laptop, and then turned the screen towards Jiang Ranxing.
Jiang Ranxing glanced at it and realized it was a live monitor in the conference room, which could clearly hear the conversation inside.
Jiang Ranxing smiled. Fu Shenyuan was indeed thoughtful. She really didn't want to see Fu Hongkai. She just sat on the comfortable sofa in her office and watched everything that happened in the conference room.
Inside the meeting room.
Fu Shenyuan and Fu Hongkai sat at opposite ends of the long table.
Fu Shenyuan noticed the dark circles under Fu Hongkai's eyes and guessed that Fu Hongkai hadn't been having a very comfortable time lately.
"Second Uncle, have you not been resting well lately?" Fu Shenyuan asked. "I have a very skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor here. Why don't I introduce him to you so you can take a look and recuperate?"
Fu Hongkai's attitude was unpleasant. He snorted and spoke in a sarcastic and affected tone.
"No need, I'm fine, I don't need it for the time being."
Fu Hongkai didn't start by chatting with Fu Shenyuan, so he asked, "Shenyuan, what did you want to talk to me about in this meeting?"
Fu Shenyuan said "Oh," raised his hand and called to Tan Shen, who then brought over two folders.
"I'd like to ask you, Second Uncle, to take a look at this shopping mall project and see if it has any potential."
Fu Hongkai took the documents and looked at them for a while before putting them down. He said, "These are all traditional commercial projects of the group. We've done so many of them, there shouldn't be any problems. If we have to say there are any, the supporting commercial communities are a bit lacking. Let's develop a few more communities to boost consumption."
Fu Shenyuan smiled and nodded: "Second Uncle is very insightful. Tan Shen, find someone to come up with a plan based on this."
Tan Shen stood to the side with his hands clasped together and replied, "Yes, Mr. Fu, we will arrange it as soon as possible."
Fu Hongkai watched the back-and-forth between the master and servant, knowing full well that it was all just for show.
"Alright, Shen Yuan, I don't believe you can't handle a small project like this. You didn't call me up here for something so trivial, did you? What do you want to talk about? Go ahead."
Fu Shenyuan sometimes quite enjoys talking to Fu Hongkai, at least he doesn't have to beat around the bush too much.
“I met with Uncle Wan. He is in good condition. I offered him compensation on behalf of the Fu family, but he refused to accept it. So I wanted to ask if Second Uncle has any ideas, or if you could go there in person?”
As Fu Shenyuan spoke, he picked up the snack next to him and took a sip, while observing Fu Hongkai's reaction out of the corner of his eye.
Fu Hongkai's expression clearly changed; he didn't speak, but his eyes flashed.
Sure enough, there was a problem, Fu Shenyuan thought, waiting for Fu Hongkai's words.
Fu Hongkai coughed twice and asked, "You went to see Lu Yuan just to make amends for this?"
Fu Hongkai also had doubts about Fu Shenyuan.
Fu Shenyuan put down his teacup and shook his head: "At first it was, but later it was Ranxing and Uncle Wan's wife who took their two children skiing, and we accompanied them."
Fu Hongkai asked, full of doubt, "What exactly is going on between you and Ranxing?"
“That should be clear,” Fu Shenyuan smiled. “We’ve reunited, so it’s perfectly normal for the three of us to go out and have some fun on our days off.”
Fu Hongkai stared at Fu Shenyuan, not quite believing his words: "After all that happened, is Ranxing really willing to forgive you?"
Fu Shenyuan lowered his eyes and then raised them again: "If Second Uncle doesn't believe me, you can ask Ranxing in person. She's taking a nap in my rest room right now, and she should be awake by now. I'll have someone invite Ranxing over to talk to you."
