Chapter 33 General Lin [VIP]
"Who is this? Whose daughter is she? She's so elegant!"
“She’s so beautiful!”
"The two people next to her seem to be the Ji family siblings! Could they be Young Master Ji's girlfriends?"
Everyone exclaimed softly, and many eyes fell on Lin Zhihua with surprise on their faces.
Fu Shengyan passed the people in front of him, quickly stepped forward, took Lin Zhihua's hand, and shouted, "Wife, you're finally here!"
"Mr. Fu calls her his wife? No way, she is actually the young lady of the Fu family?" Someone nearby covered his mouth in shock, his eyes full of curiosity.
"He looks just so-so. I wonder what humble family he came from. He's so lucky." Someone muttered sourly.
Ji Yuxiang touched his chin and looked at the two people in the crowd with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
Feeling all kinds of gazes on her, Lin Zhihua coughed lightly and let Fu Shengyan pull her away.
"Dad." She greeted Fu Jinnian.
"Zhizhi is here." A smile appeared on Fu Jinnian's face, which had never changed. He glanced at Su Huahao and introduced him confidently, "This is my daughter-in-law, Lin Zhihua."
"Mr. Su." Lin Zhihua smiled and shook hands with Su Huahao.
Su Huahao also had a partnership with Zhixing Technology, so he naturally knew Lin Zhihua. He smiled slightly, "I didn't expect that Ms. Lin is actually the young lady of the Fu family."
"Mr. Lin? Which Mr. Lin?" someone asked in a low voice.
The Lingjiang dinner had invited many CEOs from major companies. Someone had seen this young and promising upstart and took the initiative to explain, "That's Mr. Lin from Zhixing Technology, Lin Zhihua!"
Everyone looked at Lin Zhihua.
"No way, she looks so young!"
"Hmph, I used to idolize the female CEO of Zhixing Technology. Turns out she's just leaning on a big tree for shade." Zhou Miaoting curled her lips in disdain. "Zhixing Technology's IPO might be because of Fu's manipulation..."
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the people around her to hear clearly.
Some people frowned, disagreeing with what she said, but more people had an expression of understanding on their faces.
"Who says it's not? Otherwise, how could such a small company go public in just three years?"
"It turns out that even the inspirational myths of the business world are fake..."
Lin Zhihua ignored the sarcastic remarks. She knew that someone would use this as an excuse, which was why she had never let the Fu family reveal her identity.
“That’s enough!”
Fu Shengyan's face turned cold. His eyes were very beautiful, and when he smiled, it was as if there were stars shining in them. But when he looked at people coldly, his deep expression made people feel scared.
"Zhixing Technology was founded by Lin Zhihua. The Fu family has never interfered, and the company's listing has never relied on the power of the Fu family." Fu Shengyan put down his wine glass, his voice was not loud but loud enough for everyone in the audience to hear.
"She relies on a top degree from City A, has been working on plans and projects until three in the morning for three consecutive years, and even my father praised her, saying, 'This girl is more courageous and talented than you.'" He glanced around, his voice tinged with pride. "Mr. Lin's status is even more worthy of discussion than Madam Fu's."
She can succeed on her own without relying on others.
The whole audience was silent.
Lin Zhihua's eyes moved. Besides being moved, she also felt a layer of doubt.
Didn't Fu Shengyan lose his memory? How could he remember things from when she started her business?
Those who had previously been critical of Lin Zhihua avoided Fu Shengyan's gaze. He cleared his throat and added, "She turned down thirty-six of the forty-one business dinners in the past three years."
"Yes, we rarely run into Mr. Lin in business situations."
"I'm being low-key. Young people these days are really amazing."
"Of course not. Today is officially the day I reveal my identity, right?"
Wu Pengtian also came to the Lingjiang dinner with his elder brother tonight and happened to witness the whole process from a corner.
His mouth was wide open and his eyes seemed to be popping out.
No way! The poor boy Fu Shengyan, whom he had always looked down upon, was actually the only heir to the Fu family, and his wife was the CEO of Zhixing Technology, a hot company in recent years!
When Wu Pengtian thought about how he had been so arrogant and asked someone to be his driver, he wanted to slap himself to death.
He slowly stepped back, trying to hide in the crowd so that they wouldn't notice him and take the opportunity to hold a grudge against the Wu family.
He wanted to be a quiet mushroom, but his elder brother was not happy and slapped Wu Pengtian on the forehead.
"What are you still standing there for? Go and hand over your business card! That's the eldest son of the Fu family and Mr. Lin from Zhixing Technology. It's usually difficult to meet them!"
"Brother, I..." Wu Pengtian had a bitter face and opened his mouth to explain something, but he didn't know where to start.
He couldn't say that he had offended both of them a long time ago. Now he was too busy hiding to dare to deliberately get close to them and act rashly.
Wu Pengtian wanted to cry, but he had no tears. Why did these two people have to go to college! Especially Fu Shengyan, the heir to such a big family, but he didn't even know how to get a luxury car and a driver to drive around every day.
"Stop wasting time! Hurry up and come over with me to say hello. Remember, grab his arm and don't hesitate to pull him.
As the distance shortened, Wu Pengtian felt suffocated, as if he was about to be severely ridiculed by Fu Shengyan.
Mr. Fu smiled and extended his hand enthusiastically, "I'm Wu Zhengkun from Hongwu Foods. I've heard a lot about you."
Fu Jinnian had already gone to show off his daughter-in-law to his old friends. Now, only the couple were left in the crowd, being watched by others.
Fu Shengyan shook hands politely. "Hello, Mr. Wu. You can just call me Lawyer Fu. My father and my wife are in charge of the family business. I count on my wife's pocket money every month."
Mr. Fu, a billionaire, still relies on his wife for pocket money. It sounds like they are showing off their love.
He turned his gaze to Wu Pengtian, paused for a second, and raised his eyebrows, "Isn't this Mr. Wu? Have you found the driver?"
Wu Pengtian felt a surge of blood rushing to his cheeks. He laughed dryly twice and said, "I found it, I found it."
"This is my younger brother, Wu Pengtian." Wu Zhengkun patted his brother on the back and said with a smile, "Master Fu, I'm honored to know you."
Fu Shengyan's smile deepened. "Yes, I know him. My wife and I are both students at A University. We're alumni and have run into each other a few times on the basketball court."
Wu Zhengkun's eyes lit up, and he didn't notice his brother's bitter face at all. He continued eagerly, "That's great. Come on, Xiaotian, what are you hiding in the back for? Come over and have a chat."
Wu Pengtian forced a smile. "Mr. Fu, are you and your wife in need of a driver? I've been driving for eight years and I'm definitely qualified for this position!"
Lin Zhihua chuckled, unable to bear the sight of his expression which was uglier than crying, so she turned away and shook her shoulders.
Fu Shengyan was speechless for a moment, then he said something encouraging after a while: "Xiaotian, I still prefer your rebellious side."
"Haha, you really know how to joke." Wu Pengtian laughed dryly, raised his red wine glass and touched Fu Shengyan's glass.
"I'll drink a glass as punishment. Please do as you please."
After drinking a glass of wine, he even turned the glass upside down.
Wu Zhengkun, standing next to him, slapped him on the forehead. He then realized the undercurrent between the two. To avoid embarrassing his silly brother, he laughed awkwardly a few times and left with his brother.
Looking at the Zhou brothers' backs as they almost fled in panic, Fu Shengyan shook his wine glass, and while no one came up to talk to him, he quickly took his wife and hid in a quiet place to eat.
At the bathroom door, Wu Zhengkun poked his younger brother's forehead in frustration.
"How did you offend Master Fu, you little bastard?"
Wu Pengtian looked up, the sadness and grievance in his eyes almost tangible, "Brother, you don't know, Fu Shengyan is usually very low-key, I thought he was just an ordinary poor boy..."
"Do you have to bully and offend ordinary people? Haven't you heard the saying 'Thirty years on the west side of the river, things get worse and worse?'" Wu Zhengkun was even more enraged when he heard this. He looked around for a prop to hit his brother. He took a deep breath and said, "Tell me, what did you do?"
Wu Pengtian honestly recounted his university experiences and what happened at Yujing some time ago.
"No more?"
"It should be gone?" Wu Pengtian shrank his neck.
"Alright." Wu Zhengkun took advantage of his brother's confusion and grabbed a broom he had been eyeing. He gritted his teeth and said, "I've been asking you to change your habit of looking down on others! This time, I'm going to teach you a lesson!"
Wu Pengtian's heart trembled, and he subconsciously wanted to run away, but he stopped abruptly and said calmly, "Brother, we are still outside. Can we go home and talk if you have anything to say?"
Wu Zhengkun glanced around and saw that many people were curiously focusing their attention here. Thinking that he really needed to close the door when beating his brother, he reluctantly put down the broom in his hand.
Seeing his brother soften his heart, Wu Pengtian breathed a sigh of relief. He clasped his hands together and said humbly, "I was wrong, brother. I won't dare to do it again next time! I must be humble and low-key in my life! Can you please not tell Dad about this?"
His father has a bad temper. If he knew that he had offended Young Master Fu, he would really beat him with a stick in public.
"Hmph." Wu Zhengkun glanced at him and said, "Lucky for you, young man. Master Fu probably doesn't care about you. Come and apologize to me in a few days."
Wu Pengtian was delighted, knowing that this matter was most likely to be accomplished, and he agreed without hesitation.
Not far away, Li Zeyu withdrew his gaze from watching the fun and took a sip of wine with a look of disgust on his face. "I was clearly holding wine, who changed it to orange juice?"
Gu Shaochen ignored him and just drank the wine in his glass without saying a word.
After scolding the waiter, Li Zeyu turned to look at Gu Shaochen, "Achen, why didn't I see you bring Miss Bai with you tonight?"
Gu Shaochen curled his lips and his eyes softened, "Ying'er has been recuperating recently, so I didn't let her come to such a noisy occasion."
"Yo yo." Li Zeyu picked up a piece of honeydew melon from the fruit bowl with a fork and chewed it with a crunch. "Oh, by the way, Grandpa hasn't found out about your divorce, right?"
"No." Gu Shaochen shook his wine glass, a determined smile on his face. "There's still half a month left in the divorce cooling-off period. By then, I'll naturally bring Ying'er to propose marriage."
"Okay, then we'll wait to drink at your wedding." Li Zeyu clinked glasses with him.
Several people complimented him again.
"Hey, why don't you show yourself in front of Miss Su? Maybe... hehe." Someone winked at Fu Huaqing.
"Forget it. The Su family is obviously looking for an alliance, so how could they be interested in me?" Fu Huaqing shrugged.
"Well, don't tell me, I think the Su family probably originally had their eyes on Young Master Fu as their son-in-law. Unfortunately, they didn't expect the young lady to be such a powerful figure."
"What about Xiangzi? Does your Ji family have any ideas?"
Ji Yuxiang curled his lips and said nonchalantly, "I'm more interested in Sister Zhihua."
Fu Huaqing was choked and looked as if he had seen a ghost. "No, you are trying to steal my brother's girlfriend right in front of me."
"Don't even mention that they just got married. Even if they were buried together, they would have moved their graves." Ji Yuxiang took a sip of wine with a longing look on his face.
"A gentleman longs for a beautiful lady."
