Chapter 522 Forced Marriage
Fu Group Board Office.
The secretary called through the internal line, "Director Fu, Mr. Wilson has arrived in the reception room. Do you have a moment now?"
Fu Zheng glanced at his watch and the schedule next to him, and said calmly, "I have a meeting in ten minutes, tell him to wait."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, the secretary made two cups of coffee and walked into the reception room with a professional smile. He slowly placed the coffee in front of Old Wilson and Allen and said in fluent English, "Mr. Wilson, please enjoy your meal. Mr. Fu is in a meeting. Please wait here for a moment."
Old Wilson glanced at the coffee on the table with a calm expression.
Humph, you little bastard.
Alan said sarcastically, "It's hard for Mr. Charles to be so busy and still take time out to see us."
The secretary continued to smile, pretending not to understand, "I'm going to leave first. If you two need anything, please call me."
Alan asked, "How long until the meeting ends?"
"I don't know about that, but Director Fu will definitely come to see you two as soon as the meeting is over."
Allen wanted to say something else, but Old Wilson waved his hand at the secretary and said, "Get out."
The secretary walked out of the reception room quickly as if he had been pardoned.
Allen said indignantly, "Sir, he must be deliberately leaving us alone. What are we still sitting here for?"
The reason why Fu Zheng dares to ignore them is because he relies on the fact that this is Jiangcheng.
What’s the famous Chinese saying, “A tiger in dire straits is bullied by dogs!”
If this happened in Philadelphia, if Fu Zheng dared to do this, he would definitely teach him a lesson.
Old Wilson remained calm and took a sip of his coffee. "That's exactly the effect he wants. If you really leave like this, it will be exactly what he wants."
He came for Carol.
Fu Zheng also knew that he came for Carol and used this method to express his attitude - he did not agree with Fu Shifan going back to Philadelphia with him.
If he left like this, it would be equivalent to giving up the opportunity for negotiation.
"If you ask me, I shouldn't have sent Miss Carol back home yesterday. I should have sent her directly to the airport. What can Charles do about it?"
Old Wilson said, "Do you think I haven't thought about this? Carol and Elijah don't have a mother-daughter relationship. She relies more on Charles as her father. If we take her away by force, she will resent us. I hope Carol can truly accept Shu and me."
Furthermore, if he could take Carol away secretly, Fu Zheng could also use this method to get her back.
In all the fighting, the only one who got hurt was Carol.
"So we're just going to wait here?"
"patience."
Old Wilson was steady and picked up a magazine and began to flip through it. "You need to practice more."
Alan scratched the back of his head and sipped his coffee in silence.
"By the way, has Caesar been notified?"
"I've already notified them," Alan stood up and walked to the window, "I'll call again."
He dialed a number, exchanged a few words, and then sat back on the sofa. "The person on the other end said that Caesar has taken the girl away."
"Yeah." Old Wilson nodded, leaned back and closed his eyes to rest.
Wait and wait.
Alan glanced at his watch and gritted his teeth.
Twenty minutes passed.
The secretary came in with a tray, took away the two cups of coffee, made some new ones and brought them back.
"Please enjoy your meal."
"How long will it take for your President Fu's meeting to end?" Allen couldn't help but ask.
The secretary smiled and said, "It should be soon. Please wait a moment. Director Fu will come over as soon as the meeting is over."
It seemed like he said something, but it also seemed like he said nothing.
Allen: “…”
He couldn't sit still, so he stood up and began to pace.
Before I knew it, another twenty minutes had passed.
The secretary came in again and changed the coffee.
When the secretary saw Alan open his mouth, she thought he was going to ask about the meeting time, but he just asked, "Where is the bathroom?"
"...This way, please follow me."
The secretary's lips twitched slightly, trying hard to suppress a smile.
Old Wilson thought about it and called Fu Shifan's watch.
Fu Shifan was taking a break from class at the time. He found a quiet corner and answered the phone. "Hello? Grandfather?"
"Hey, Carol baby, what are you doing?"
"Playing seesaw with classmates."
"Grandpa misses you, do you miss him?"
"Carol misses grandpa too." Fu Shifan asked sweetly.
"Baby, Grandpa really wants to see you every day. Unfortunately, your father won't allow you to stay in Philadelphia with Grandpa."
"It's okay. Grandpa will come to visit Carol next time he comes to Jiangcheng." Fu Shifan said.
Old Wilson's complaining voice could be heard from his watch again. "I'm in the Fu Building's board office discussing this with your father. He doesn't want to see me and is trying to stop us from getting close. Since Carol misses her grandfather, she must want to go to Philadelphia with him. It must be your father who made the decision on his own. Humph, seriously!"
Fu Shifan felt guilty for a moment, "Grandpa, Dad is just worried about me."
"Don't worry, Grandpa will convince your father. Just wait to go to Philadelphia with Grandpa."
Fu Shifan: "...Hey, Grandfather!"
"It's settled, Grandfather is going to see your father - beep -"
Fu Shifan listened to the busy tone in the microphone: "..."
What if grandpa really convinces dad?!
The meeting finally ended.
The secretary came to the reception room again and said, "Mr. Wilson, Mr. Fu's meeting is over. Please come to his office to see him."
"Um."
Old Wilson thought about the little girl's reaction on the phone, curled the corners of his lips, picked up the exquisitely carved cane, and followed the secretary to Fu Zheng's office.
When old Wilson came in, Fu Zheng was standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window with his back to the door, as if he had just talked to someone on the phone.
He was wearing a simple shirt and trousers, all in black, looking deep and reserved, with a black leather belt tied around his waist. Looking from behind, he looked even more tall and straight, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.
Hearing the voice, he turned around, put his phone on the desk, smiled faintly, gestured to the sofa in the reception area, and walked over, "Old sir, I've been waiting for a long time. Please take a seat."
It's in Chinese.
Old Wilson glanced sharply at the young man in front of him, sat down on the sofa, and said in English, "Fortunately, the secretary explained that Chairman Fu was busy with work, otherwise I would have thought I was not welcome here!"
Before coming to Jiangcheng, Old Wilson had seen some of Fu Zheng's video footage on the Internet.
To be fair, he has good looks and some abilities, no wonder his daughter misses him so much.
If he were his son-in-law, old Mr. Wilson would be satisfied.
But……
In short, Old Wilson hated Fu Zheng very much and could not treat him well.
Fu Zheng smiled calmly and continued in Chinese, "I am sorry for my poor hospitality. I wonder what the old gentleman wants from me? Is it for your daughter or for Fanfan?"
Humph, just pretending. He didn't believe that Fu Zheng didn't know what he was here for.
"The other day I suddenly heard that my daughter Ilia had given birth to a daughter five years ago, and you are the child's father. I already know the whole story. Now, because Ilia is attracted to you, she has made a serious mistake. Let me ask you, are you willing to be with Ilia?"
"Old gentleman, you're asking even though you already know the answer," Fu Zheng smiled. "I and my wife are in great harmony and love, and she's pregnant."
"Since you are about to have another child, it will be awkward for Carol to stay here. I want to take her back to Philadelphia." Old Wilson then stated his purpose in a forceful manner.
