Bai Shan recommended three handmade creative shops based on Min Xi's preferences. The shops were not big and were located in three places. She went back to her office, sorted out the addresses and sent them to her boss's email.
She found Min Xi more and more interesting. He was able to control the boss, and the boss was extremely helpless but willing to be controlled.
The internal line at the desk rang and the front desk called to say that a Ms. Zhu was visiting.
Bai Shan: "Please ask her to come in. She has an appointment with Mr. Fu."
She locked the important documents in the filing cabinet and went out to greet them.
The boss had a video conference at 8:30, and Zhu Youran made an appointment for the time period from 6:30 to 7:00. During the appointment call, Zhu Youran said that he was coming to deliver the wedding invitation to Mr. Fu.
Among all the boss's high school classmates, she only knew Zhu Youran and Chu Yi. Chu Yi's company had business dealings with Lingyu Group, so she often saw Chu Yi and was quite familiar with him. She had only met Zhu Youran once, and because of his outstanding temperament, she was deeply impressed by him.
Before Bai Shan left the president's office, Zhu Youran came in under the guidance of the front desk. After not seeing her for a few years, she looked even more elegant, with beautiful short hair, clear and gentle eyes, and a slim white shirt tucked into her ink-colored long skirt.
This set is a new spring and summer ready-to-wear item from a high-end luxury brand, and it really suits her temperament.
She and Min Xi are two completely different types.
One is quiet, the other is cool.
For some reason, Bai Shan connected the two of them together in her mind, perhaps because they were both in the public relations industry.
"Secretary Bai, long time no see." Zhu Youran smiled and handed over a box of souvenirs in his hand, "I'd like to treat you to some wedding candy."
Bai Shan accepted it: "Thank you. Happy wedding, and may you be happy forever." Zhu Youran prepared two gifts. The gift box for her was more beautifully packaged and pink in color, while the gift box for the boss was darker in color, generous and noble.
"Mr. Fu is in the office."
She first put the gifts in the office and took Zhu Youran there.
Zhu Youran had been to Lingyu Group once, three years ago. Their college classmate borrowed Fu Yanzhou's private jet to check in some things for her, and she came to pick them up.
I have met Fu Yanzhou several times in the past few years, all at the weddings of my high school classmates.
Bai Shan knocked on the door, pushed it open after getting permission, and waited for Zhu Youran to come in. She then went back to do her own thing.
"I'm here to disturb you again, a busy man." Zhu Youran said with a smile.
Fu Yanzhou stood up from his office chair and smiled: "Don't bother me."
After a few pleasantries, I invited her to sit in the reception area.
"What to drink?" he asked.
"Boiled water will do." Zhu Youran gently placed the gifts and invitations on the coffee table.
Fu Yanzhou poured a cup of warm water and placed it in front of her. He picked up the invitation on the coffee table and opened it, then sat down on the sofa opposite her. "Congratulations. This has been talked about in the group these days."
Zhu Youran was surprised that he didn't block the group, and joked: "I thought a big boss like you never checked the classmates' group."
"It's not blocked. I'll check it out when there's news." Fu Yanzhou looked at the hotel and date on the invitation, folded it up and put it back on the coffee table.
Zhu Youran saw the ring on his hand and heard that he had obtained a marriage certificate. His wife was from their powerful circle and his father-in-law was a high-ranking official. It is said that his wife has a nickname in the circle, called "flowering cactus", which is beautiful but covered with thorns.
"What business are you responsible for in the company now?" Fu Yanzhou asked with concern.
Zhu Youran was about to drink water, but the cup touched his lips and he took it away, and replied: "I am responsible for the crisis public relations of the client, and my brother is in charge of other business."
Fu Yanzhou nodded and said, "You are good at dealing with crises."
Zhu Youran smiled modestly: "My parents basically don't ask about the company's affairs now, so I have no choice but to bite the bullet and do it."
After finishing a glass of water, she was about to leave.
His tone was always easy-going during the conversation, but it still gave her an invisible sense of oppression. After graduating from college, she and he gradually had nothing in common, and there were fewer and fewer people and things to talk about.
Even though she wanted to make the conversation lighthearted, she no longer had the mindset of a student.
"I heard from Secretary Bai that you have a video conference later, so I won't disturb you." Zhu Youran put down his water cup and said goodbye.
Fu Yanzhou stood up to see the person off and walked him all the way to the door.
After seeing Zhu Youran off, he took the invitation card to his desk, and the wedding candy was still there.
--
Min Xi stayed in Min Ting's study room all night. After dinner, Min Ting worked overtime. She was bored in the living room, so she found a book from the bookshelf, read it, drank red wine, and accompanied Min Ting to work overtime.
The bottle of red wine was one of the wedding gifts that Fu Yanzhou gave her, and she brought it from their small home.
I had half a cup of wine while eating, and then poured another half cup to drink while reading.
Min Ting only took two puffs of his cigarette tonight. The ashtray his sister gave him was a top-notch collection, and it was a waste to use it to hold cigarette butts and ashes.
After he took two puffs, the ashtray successfully helped him put out the cigarette.
"How is the Shengshi Technology case going? Is there anything that is not going well?" Min Ting asked out of concern for his sister.
Min Xi only reported good news, saying that the progress was smooth and that he would be going on a business trip to Shanghai at the end of the month. "The third generation of Xiaoshi Chat is very interesting. I plan to buy one for my home when it goes on sale."
Min Ting: "I'll go and show my support too."
Then he asked with concern: "Are there any other new projects this year?"
“There are no new ones, they are all old customers.”
Min Xi put a bookmark on the page she had finished reading and would continue reading next time. She also had a serious talk with her brother about her plans. After finishing the project at Shengshi Technology, she wanted to independently take charge of a case in the fast-moving consumer goods industry.
“Fast-moving consumer goods?”
"Yeah. I've come across this before when I was Yu Chengtan's assistant. I don't think it's that difficult."
Min Ting understood his sister. Since she had this idea, she must have a goal in mind.
He asked: "Who is the target customer?"
Apart from her secret crush on Fu Yanzhou, she had no secrets from her brother. Min Xi said truthfully, "Le Meng Food, their current PR agency will expire at the end of next year. I still have a chance to fight for it."
Lemeng Food is a listed company with a market value of tens of billions, which is controlled by Lemeng Beverages and held by Lingyu Group. Several snacks that are very popular among the public and have been best-sellers for 20 years are all produced by Lemeng Food.
In the past two years, the zero-sugar, low-calorie meal replacement snacks launched by Lemeng Food have become popular.
"I will start preparing the plan now. More than a year is enough time."
Min Ting understood what his sister meant: "Why not go to bid directly instead of looking for Fu Yanzhou?"
Min Xi nodded. She didn’t want to cause trouble for Fu Yanzhou. She was confident that she had won the client with her own strength.
It was almost ten o'clock and Min Xi's phone vibrated.
Fu Yanzhou: [Come out. 】
Min Xi put down his wine glass and replied: [You’re here? 】
【Um. In the yard. 】
"Brother, Fu Yanzhou is here, why don't you come downstairs?"
"What am I going downstairs for?"
"…We are all family, can't we put aside our prejudices? He is actually very nice to me. The red wine I am drinking now was given to me by him."
Min Ting was signing documents without even raising his head: "Are your requirements so low? Giving you some red wine is considered treating you well?" He raised his hand and waved, signaling her to be quiet and urging her to leave quickly.
There was no point in saying more, Min Xi took his bag and went downstairs.
The rear of Fu Yanzhou's car was facing the door of the villa. She asked the driver to drive back. He sat in the driver's seat with his hand outside the car. The plain ring on his ring finger flashed tiny lights under the light.
She walked to the door of the cab and poked his arm: "My brother is at home, why don't you go upstairs?"
Fu Yanzhou looked up at her and answered irrelevantly: "Get in the car and go home."
"Can't you just give me some face and reconcile with my brother?"
"Then why don't you persuade your brother to come to me for your sake and reconcile? Min Xi, if you are too biased, it will only exacerbate the conflict between him and me." Fu Yanzhou took his arm off the car window and slid it.
Before the car window closed, he said again: "Get in the car."
Min Xi knocked on the car window a few times in dissatisfaction, then walked around to sit on the passenger seat.
She didn't rush to fasten her seat belt, and asked him to explain clearly: "Why am I so biased?"
The car door closed and the lights inside naturally dimmed.
In the dim light, his features became even more indifferent.
"One, speak well of your brother's unprincipled ways. Two, don't forget to buy an ashtray when you go to Jiangcheng."
Fu Yanzhou started the car and reminded her to fasten her seat belt.
Min Xi buckled her seat belt and grasped the key point of his words. He was unhappy that she only bought an ashtray for Min Ting.
Know what's going on.
In fact, there was no big conflict between him and Min Ting. It was just that Min Ting looked down on him as his brother-in-law, and he also looked down on Min Ting as his brother-in-law.
The two people's auras don't match.
"I didn't wear my diamond ring today, and my colleagues at the company thought I had a marriage crisis." She avoided the previous topic and found something light-hearted to say.
Fu Yanzhou didn’t understand the logic of her colleagues, and he didn’t have the time to delve into what others were thinking.
"I'll buy you another diamond ring and put it in your bag as a backup." He then asked her opinion: "Do you want the same style, or do you want the designer to design a new one?"
Min Xi: “…”
She found that every time they chatted, the direction was completely out of control.
On the way home, he contacted the jeweler and arranged a time to choose a ring.
At 3:30 on Saturday afternoon, the store was closed to serve her.
He was so generous, but she didn't even buy him an ashtray. She only gave him a kiss on his birthday and didn't have time to choose a gift carefully.
Min Xi decided to make it up to him.
After returning home and taking a shower, she went to the kitchen to boil milk for him. This was the only thing she knew how to do.
Take out jasmine flowers from the refrigerator and make jasmine milk for him.
Fu Yanzhou took a shower and didn't see Min Xi in the bedroom or in the cloakroom. Just as he was about to go downstairs to find her, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside and she came in with a glass of milk.
Min Xi wore a mustard green belly-baring camisole with white satin trousers tonight. This set of home clothes was particularly eye-catching among her blue home clothes.
Fu Yanzhou's attention was on her mustard green suspenders, ignoring the glass she placed on his bedside table.
Min Xi pointed to the glass and said, "Drink the milk while it's hot."
In the transparent glass, a few jasmine flowers embellish the milk.
Fu Yanzhou looked at Min Xi in disbelief. She was a person who had never touched housework and couldn't even recognize all the cooking utensils, but she actually came into the kitchen to heat milk for him. Even though she knew that she boiled milk as a token of gratitude because she had ordered a diamond ring for her, she still couldn't help but feel flattered.
After all, before they got married, it was Min Ting who gave her hot milk.
He didn't have the habit of drinking warm milk before going to bed, but he still picked up the glass and the fresh scent of jasmine filled his nose.
"Rarely."
"Um?"
Min Xi was already sitting on the bed, waiting for him to continue.
Fu Yanzhou asked her to make a request, and it would be best if he could satisfy her request tonight as a thank you for her cooking milk for him.
Min Xi seemed to be thinking about something: "Stand there and don't move. I'll come down and you hold me for ten minutes."
Another hug.
Fu Yanzhou drank his milk slowly and looked at her in confusion: "Are you obsessed with hugs?"
"Um."
There was a second's pause in between, not clearly saying that he would never understand, she said: "Because you never hug me."
