Chapter 3 President
After Lin Zhihua's earnest persuasion, Fu Shengyan reluctantly gave up the idea of resuming his cooking skills.
After satisfying her hunger, Lin Zhihua sat on the sofa with the cake in her hand. Fu Shengyan hurriedly sat down next to her and even kindly turned on the TV for her.
The news happened to be showing the live footage of the overpass pileup this afternoon.
"After investigation, the accident resulted in one death, four serious injuries, and 16 minor injuries of varying degrees," the reporter at the scene said in a serious tone. "Preliminary investigations indicate that the main cause of the accident was speeding. At the time of the accident, two cars were chasing each other and illegally changing lanes. We would like to remind all drivers..."
In the picture, there was a traffic jam on the overpass. Several cars collided with each other in a twisted and deformed manner, with glass fragments and car parts scattered all over the ground. Lin Zhihua stared at the Maybach with a dented front end and bit her lower lip.
She touched Fu Shengyan's bandaged forehead with lingering fear and murmured, "Fortunately, he's fine."
"Squeak?" Fu Shengyan subconsciously rubbed her hand, but unexpectedly it hit the injured area, and he hissed softly in pain.
Lin Zhihua quickly retracted her hand and glared at him angrily: "What are you doing?"
Fu Shengyan quickly sat down, put his hands on his legs, and stared at the TV without looking away, but he was secretly glancing at her out of the corner of his eye.
Lin Zhihua raised her eyebrows and looked at him suspiciously: "Fu Shengyan, didn't you always contradict me in the past? Why are you so obedient today?"
Something was wrong. After spending so much time with 25-year-old lawyer Fu, she almost forgot that 18-year-old Fu Shengyan was at the age where he hated both cats and dogs.
If Lin Zhihua told him to go east, he would definitely crash into a wall and die in the west. How childish!
However, during the winter break of her senior year, Fu Shengyan was indeed a little abnormal. Apart from calling her on New Year's Eve, he did not harass her for the rest of the days, which was contrary to his usual behavior.
At that time, she thought that this boy was working hard to prepare for admission to University A, but she didn't expect to hear that he had been in a car accident.
"I, I just..." Fu Shengyan's ears turned red, and he hesitated for a long time but couldn't come up with an excuse.
Lin Zhihua's warm lips touched his ear: "Just what?"
"...I like you." Fu Shengyan said in a low voice, his face reddening so much that blood seemed to drip out.
Caught off guard by the sweet talk, she chuckled softly, her tone gentle and a bit teasing: "You like me so you have to obey me in everything? Then you have to hand over your private money too."
Feeling an itch on his left ear, Fu Shengyan nodded hurriedly and stammered, "Yeah, I'll do as you say."
Looking at his youthful and innocent appearance, Lin Zhihua said "Oh shit" in her heart, and then she realized it belatedly.
The man in front of her was not the old pervert who had slept with her for three years, but Fu Sheng Yan, an 18-year-old pure high school boy and a tsundere and arrogant version.
He actually confessed to me!!
Lin Zhihua was secretly happy that she could still hear the boy's confession after so many years. She coughed lightly and pretended to change the subject casually.
"You opened your eyes and found yourself seven years later. Don't you have any questions?"
Fu Shengyan nodded, blushing and tentatively asked, "Do we have children?"
Lin Zhihua shook her head. They got married early and were not in a hurry to have children. Later, Fu Shengyan never mentioned anything about children. She thought Fu Shengyan didn't like children.
Seeing Fu Shengyan's expression of regret, Lin Zhihua blinked. Could it be that he actually always wanted a child?
"I haven't even started living with you yet, so I can't go anywhere without a little light bulb..."
Lin Zhihua choked and she knew it!
"But if we really have a baby, it would be best if it was a girl, like you, cute." Fu Shengyan chuckled twice.
"It's still early." Lin Zhihua quickly interrupted his fantasy, so that he wouldn't even consider where the child would go to elementary school.
Fu Shengyan said "Oh" and finally remembered his dear father and mother.
"Where are my parents?" He had been in a car accident, but how come he hadn't received even a single call of condolence for such a long time?
Fu Shengyan felt a little sad and couldn't help but think divergently. Could it be that his parents didn't agree with his marriage to Zhizhi, so they severed the parent-child relationship with him?
As someone who had lived with him for twenty-five years, Lin Zhihua could clearly understand what was in his heart.
She glanced at the time: "What are you imagining? Mom and Dad should be asleep. It's only four in the morning in Country A."
"……oh"
Considering that he had to go to work the next day, Lin Zhihua sent him to bed after eating the cake.
"Can't we sleep together?"
Fu Shengyan was clinging to the door frame of the master bedroom pitifully.
Looking at Fu Shengyan's beautiful eyes, Lin Zhihua felt a little guilty. She no longer hesitated and resolutely closed the door. "No, we are just in a relationship now."
Yes, that’s not wrong.
Fu Shengyan silently tightened his grip and said stubbornly, "No, we've been married for three years!"
Lin Zhihua said coldly, "That was with him. You and I are not officially together right now. You just confessed to me, and I haven't accepted it yet."
The door was ruthlessly closed, and Fu Shengyan was heartbroken.
He gritted his teeth and reluctantly went to the guest room next door.
Looking at the neatly made mattress and the books spread out on the bedside table, Fu Shengyan sneered.
"Oh, so what if we've been married for three years? We still have to sleep in the guest room."
His eyes fell on the phone and he opened the photo album for some unknown reason.
There are a lot of photos inside, but apart from various work documents, there are only a few daily photos. It seems that the owner does not like to record his life.
Fu Shengyan clicked on one of the few videos, and the picture began to shake, and then his own voice was heard.
"Lin Zhizhi! I've told you several times not to walk on the floor barefoot!" The picture on the phone was facing the floor, and only a pair of pink and blue slippers could be seen.
"You're so talkative. I saw your phone ringing, so I thought of bringing it to you." Lin Zhihua's voice sounded immediately afterwards.
"Is this your reason for not wearing shoes?" The pink slippers were getting closer and closer, and the scene was spinning again.
"Why don't you change your tone and way of saying it, like, 'Baby, if you do this again, I'll lock you in bed and keep you indoors for a month.'"
The man was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "You're taking advantage of your period to mess with me, right?"
"Ah, A Yan, you're so fierce, man, you've changed...hiss, don't bite my face!"
The video ended abruptly here, leaving Fu Shengyan with his fists clenched and jealousy surging in his heart.

Lin Zhihua called her chief secretary.
The phone was hung up after just one ring.
Lin Zhihua:......
She checked the time and sent a message to Ye Qianxi via WeChat.
Unity of Knowledge and Action: Secretary Ye, I have an urgent matter to ask you. I will pay you triple your overtime pay.
The person on the other end of the phone replied almost instantly.
Refuse to work overtime without pay: Boss, please give Secretary Ye your orders!
Unity of knowledge and action: Help me make an appointment with the most authoritative brain expert in City A, who specializes in memory.
Refusal to work unpaid overtime: Received.
After Lin Zhihua finished taking a shower, she saw on her mobile phone that Ye Qianxi had sent her a time and address, with some information attached.
The next morning, Fu Shengyan was woken up by his biological clock on time.
He picked up his cell phone and checked the time. The hour hand just pointed to seven o'clock.
Fu Shengyan was startled and quickly sat up from the bed.
It's over. I'm late for school.
Seeing the unfamiliar room, he realized that he no longer had to go to school.
He breathed a sigh of relief and picked up his phone again, only then did he see a new message on the green bubble on his phone.
When Fu Shengyan opened the pop-up window, he saw a text message from someone with the note "Old Man".
Old man: It seems you are fine. My wife and I are going to watch the sunrise. Don’t look for her if you have nothing to do!!!
Fu Shengyan opened the chat interface and sent a message to his mother.
Ten minutes later, Fu Shengyan received several one-minute voice messages from Shen Weiwei, as well as the "old man's" angry accusations.
Old man: You little bastard, you are so old and you still complain to your mother!
Fu Shengyan: Not convinced? You can also go to grandma.
The old man stopped talking. Fu Shengyan put away his phone with satisfaction and went out to buy breakfast for Lin Zhihua.
The morning sun filtered through the thin curtains, gently streaming into the bedroom. The cheerful chime of the alarm clock shattered the stillness of the room, and Lin Zhihua awoke drowsily from her sleep. She turned off the alarm, sat up, yawned, rubbed her eyes, and headed to the bathroom to wash up.
Fortunately, I set the alarm last night. Lin Zhihua gave herself a thumbs-up in her heart. In the past, Fu Shengyan always made breakfast and woke her up.
"Oh, I'm really not used to it." Lin Zhihua muttered softly, silently hoping that Fu Shengyan would remember it sooner.
She got dressed and went downstairs. Just as she reached the stairs, she heard the door open.
Fu Shengyan was wearing sportswear, carrying several breakfast bags in his hands, and beads of sweat hung on his forehead.
Lin Zhihua noticed that he had removed the gauze from his head and frowned slightly: "Why are you exercising so early in the morning? Your wound hasn't healed yet."
"I'm going to buy breakfast." Fu Shengyan breathed softly, put the buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk on the table, and looked at Lin Zhihua with a bright smile on her face. "There are so many people lining up in this store, come and try it."
Lin Zhihua was a little touched. She gently pushed him and said, "Go take a shower and change clothes first. I'll bandage you later."
After swallowing the last mouthful of soy milk, Lin Zhihua glanced at the work schedule sent by Secretary Ye.
Apart from the meeting at nine o'clock in the morning, there is nothing particularly important today. I can take Fu Shengyan to see a doctor in the afternoon.
Lin Zhihua sent a message to Ye Qianxi, telling her that all her schedule after the meeting was cancelled.
"Come with me to the company later." She glanced at Fu Shengyan who was holding a fried dough stick in his mouth.
Fu Shengyan had no objection. He was eager to spend more time with Lin Zhihua and was also very curious about Lin Zhihua's work.
After breakfast, Lin Zhihua drove Fu Shengyan to the company.
Atop the towering office building, the large, eye-catching metal characters for "Zhixing Technology" gleam in the sunlight, while the glass curtain wall reflects the rolling clouds and the bustling city traffic. Stepping inside, the futuristic design captivates everyone who first visits Zhixing.
"Good morning, President!"
As soon as they entered the door, the front desk greeted them warmly.
Fu Shengyan's back straightened instantly, making his white sportswear look haute couture. He nodded slightly, took Lin Zhihua's hand, and walked towards the elevator with his head held high under the gaze of all the employees.
Seeing that Fu Shengyan had misunderstood, Lin Zhihua did not explain, but instead quietly made a "hush" gesture to others.
"Over there, this is the employee elevator." Lin Zhihua pulled him and said in a low voice.
Fu Shengyan paused, then calmly turned in another direction and walked towards the president's exclusive elevator.
The elevator door slowly closed, and someone started gossiping curiously: "Why did the president bring a college student here? They're so intimate. Could they be his lover?"
"Are you new here? That's our CEO's lover. They're married, and they're a legitimate couple. Stop spreading rumors."
"Ah? She looks too young." The employee smiled awkwardly.
In the elevator, Lin Zhihua felt a little uncomfortable and looked at their clasped hands.
It had been a long time since they had walked hand in hand in the company. Being watched by so many employees, it would be a lie to say they weren't nervous; it was even a little exciting. Lin Zhihua couldn't help but smile slightly. She could feel Fu Shengyan's palms sweating slightly.
But he didn't say anything, just held her hand, with the other hand still in his trouser pocket, his eyes staring at the constantly jumping numbers very naturally.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator slowly stopped on the sixteenth floor.
As soon as the door opened, several executives were waiting at the CEO's office door, holding documents. When they saw the elevator door open, they quickly surrounded it.
"President, this is the company's major financial expenditure approval document. Please review it."
"President, Mr. Fang from Wanhong called and said he agreed to sign a raw material supply contract. When should we send someone to coordinate?"
"President……"
Fu Shengyan nodded calmly and raised his chin towards Lin Zhihua: "Give the documents to Secretary Lin first, I will deal with it later."
"Huh?" Several executives looked at each other in surprise.
What new office play is the president playing?
Lin Zhihua suppressed the corners of her mouth that were rising wildly, coughed lightly, and held out her hand: "Give it to me."
"Yes!" They quickly put down the documents and left.
It’s great to be young!
Fu Shengyan pushed open the door, looked around the spacious and bright president's office, and nodded with satisfaction.
Not bad, not bad. Except for the lack of floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor, all other designs are to my liking.
He sat on his office chair and suddenly reached out to pull Lin Zhihua over, letting her sit on his lap. He smiled charmingly, "Zizhi, my beautiful and sexy little secretary..."
Lin Zhihua rested her hands on his chest and said calmly, "I'm not your secretary."
"Huh?" Fu Shengyan raised his eyebrows. "Is that my personal assistant?"
“That’s not right.”
"You're lying," Fu Shengyan bent down and picked up the high heels from under the table, then approached Lin Zhihua smugly. "Your shoes are all here with me. They must have fallen...in the office."
"Boss Lin, the nine o'clock meeting is about to begin..." Ye Qianxi just opened the door and saw the two of them hugging each other intimately. She immediately closed the door, "You continue, I'll go and notify them to postpone the meeting."
"Wait!" Lin Zhihua's face flushed and he immediately stood up to prove his innocence, "We didn't do anything."
Ye Qianxi gave her a look that said "I understand" and considerately closed the door for them.
No, you don’t understand!!
