Chapter 362 The protective and devoted woman VS The soft-hearted man who harbors a grudge 20
morning.
Jiang Zhiyi was checking the accounts in the store. She didn't usually concern herself with business matters, but she would check the store's accounts periodically.
To be honest, business is only so-so; not many people come, but as long as we open, we make money, and quite a lot of it.
Of course, this money-making is only possible if costs are disregarded. If the money spent on opening the store is taken into account, then it would be a complete loss. No wonder Fu Chengyan said before that it was just for her to play around with.
However... since it was all his money, it was indeed a zero-cost investment for her. As long as she made a profit, then she really made a profit.
Just an hour earlier, she had received two young, wealthy women.
The two wealthy women met with the master in the shop and chatted with him for a long time. The master taught them some folk remedies to keep their husbands faithful. Before leaving, they bought several red strings from the shop, which they used in conjunction with these remedies.
Jiang Zhiyi gave them a special discount, charging them only 80,000 yuan for each red string.
"Busy?" Ji Chen came over carrying a kitten. "I need your help with something. I have to go out of town for a few days. Could you take care of it for me?"
Jiang Zhiyi did not refuse. These days she often played with the green-eyed kitten and even gave it a unique name, Cui Cui.
Of course, Ji Chen was unaware of this, even though he had given the cat a very casual name, "Rice," which he had casually chosen while eating.
"When are you leaving?" she asked.
"I'll leave the rice here this afternoon and bring you a thank-you gift when I come back."
"Why are you being so polite? Don't worry, I'll take good care of it."
Jiang Zhiyi placed the kitten on the table next to her, and to her surprise, it hooked the two red strings and started chewing on them, seemingly enjoying the new toy.
Ji Chen knew these were items sold in her shop. He chuckled and said, "How much are these? Put them on my tab. Let it play with them."
"Friendly price, I'll give you a 40% discount, 60,000..." Jiang Zhiyi added, "60,000 per stick."
"Robbery?" Ji Chen pretended to knock her on the head.
"I've already given you a huge discount. This isn't an ordinary red string; it's very effective..."
Ji Chen still didn't listen, and pretended to be sad, saying, "I didn't expect you would even kill me."
"Oh dear." Jiang Zhiyi picked up the mischievous kitten and tied a small rope around its neck. "It's free for you. I'm not a stingy person."
The two chatted for more than ten minutes before Ji Chen pushed open the door and left.
Jiang Zhiyi was bored, so she spent the whole afternoon playing with the kitten. After the kitten fell asleep on the sofa, she sent a WeChat message to Fu Chengyan.
[Mr. Fu, are you busy right now? I have important business to discuss with you.]
Jiang Zhiyi waited for a few minutes, but received no reply.
A little while later, she sent another emoji.
A pitiful little dog throwing a tantrum on the ground, crying loudly, accompanied by eye-catching text.
Bok choy, nobody loves it, it turns yellow in the field.
Not long after, a question mark appeared on the other end.
Jiang Zhiyi was still thinking about what to reply when the other end of the line called directly.
"What's wrong? What's the matter?" It was a very formulaic question.
"It's nothing... I just missed you." Jiang Zhiyi said sweetly into the phone, "I miss you!"
Fu Chengyan could tell she was in a good mood, so he deliberately spoke in a coquettish voice, as if her bones were melting.
He was unusually agreeable today, trying to coax her, "Hmm... I miss you too."
Hearing his answer, Jiang Zhiyi was a little surprised. She then said, "I want to see you. Can I come to your company to find you?"
After a moment of silence, Fu Chengyan finally agreed, "Where are you? I'll have someone come pick you up."
"In the store."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhiyi looked at the dust that had accidentally gotten on her body, and decided to take a shower and change into some cleaner clothes.
She has a lounge here. Sometimes when Fu Chengyan doesn't go home, she stays here because she's too lazy to go back.
Fu Chengyan's driver arrived quickly and had been waiting for her outside.
Two hours later, at the Fu Corporation headquarters.
As soon as Jiang Zhiyi entered the room, she threw herself at him, as if she missed him terribly.
Fu Chengyan helped her sit on his lap and asked, "What business were you talking about in the WeChat message just now?"
He figured she wouldn't come looking for him for no reason; she probably wanted him to do something for her.
"I'm just making things up, there's no business involved." Jiang Zhiyi shook her head.
"Really not?" He was skeptical.
"No, I just missed you." She rested her head on his chest and wrapped her arms around his waist. "I just missed you."
He put his arm around her and gently stroked her hair with his other hand. "I still have work to do. Go and stay over there by yourself."
"No, I won't go down." Jiang Zhiyi's legs were still swaying back and forth. "If you keep working like this, I'm going to hold you."
She clung to him and refused to get off.
She came here specifically to bother him. She hadn't planned to come, but he said he missed her too, so she decided to come and bother him.
Fu Chengyan couldn't do anything about her, so he could only let her be for the time being. However, he really couldn't work in this state, so he treated it as a short rest.
He talked to her and asked about the shop's situation, "How much have you made these past few days?"
"It's a secret." She didn't say it, because she was too embarrassed to say it. She was afraid that even if she worked for a long time, she wouldn't be able to earn as much as the vase he gave her.
"As long as I don't lose money, that's fine." He didn't ask any more questions; he was just trying to pass the time for her anyway.
The two hugged like that for a long time.
Jiang Zhiyi would occasionally wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him.
Fu Chengyan also received several phone calls during the call, all of which were work calls.
Because the two were in such an intimate position, she could easily hear what was happening on his phone.
When he speaks to his subordinates, he is quite different; his voice has an indescribable pressure that makes people feel nervous.
She thought to herself, "Thank goodness I'm not his employee. Working under him would be terrifying."
Not long after, his phone started ringing again.
Fu Chengyan didn't even look at the caller ID before pressing the answer button.
This phone call was made by Mrs. Fu.
"Grandma," he called out in a softer voice, his body tensing slightly and his expression becoming much more serious.
Jiang Zhiyi could tell that he had great respect for Old Madam Fu.
"Last time, your grandfather and I..."
Jiang Zhiyi held her breath and listened quietly to the voice on the phone, which, though aged, still possessed a certain authority.
She overheard the old lady telling him on the phone that he must keep his appointment in a few days to meet Miss Wang, so that the two of them could get to know each other better. She added that it was time for him to start a family.
