Fu Yanzhou had just backed the car out when a call came in on his cell phone. The screen showed: Lü Zhen
We haven’t had any contact since we last met at a cocktail party in Jiangcheng.
He answered the phone, pushed the door open and got out of the car, and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Lu Zhen called this time because of her mother's special report. She felt embarrassed to disturb him again. "The special report must include an interview with the top management of your Lingyu Group. Let me ask your opinion on behalf of my mother."
"An interview with me?"
"May I?"
In fact, Lu Zhen didn't have any hope. If he didn't want to, then he could interview the vice president.
Fu Yanzhou thought for a moment and said, "Okay. It can only appear in the special report in the form of a text interview."
Lu Zhen was pleasantly surprised: "No problem."
She didn't dare ask for a video interview or for his photo to be published.
"Thank you very much."
After graduation, she has been engaged in self-media work and set up a studio with a few friends. She has so many media resources and high-quality big V accounts that even her peers can't guess how many she has.
Even though Fu Yanzhou didn't need her connections, he still had to say: "If the media needs anything in the future, just ask. You're busy, so I won't bother you anymore."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Yanzhou said to Min Xi: "It's Lu Zhen's call."
Min Xi was slightly stunned. Was he reporting to her?
Fu Yanzhou looked at his watch and saw that there were still three minutes left until the meeting.
Min Xi noticed that he was looking at his watch and urged him, "Go up quickly, don't delay the meeting."
Fu Yanzhou told her to drive slowly on the road, and watched her car drive out of the basement before he walked towards the elevator.
Min Xi’s inability to reverse became part of his to-do list.
--
Before going to bed, Min Xi received an email from the Media Department, notifying him of a meeting at 10 a.m. tomorrow to discuss the list of media invited to the Shengshi Technology press conference.
Reply received, turned off tablet and went to sleep.
She had just laid down and had not had time to turn off the lights when Fu Yanzhou came back.
The first thing he said when he entered the house was: "Do you want to learn how to drive in reverse? I'll teach you."
Min Xi: “…”
She thought the incident of the garage helping her reverse the car was over.
As a person in a higher position, he probably hated people like her who could not do things to the best of their ability.
Fu Yanzhou walked over, leaned over, and placed his hands on her pillow.
"Do you want to learn?" he asked again.
There was a lot of patience in his words.
Since she has been leading the project independently, she has had little rest time and no time to study.
She also doesn't want to waste time on things she's not good at, but the biggest reason she doesn't want to learn is that Min Ting is there to support her.
Min Xi didn't want to force himself, and said with a very firm tone: "I won't learn."
"So you make sure you always have a driver with you when you go out?"
Fu Yanzhou knew her to some extent. She liked to drive herself when she felt like it and didn't want to be under the eyes of others during all her private time.
Min Xi was silent.
"I don't want to learn, but I want to drive myself."
Fu Yanzhou couldn't do anything to her, but he didn't want to argue about it.
He began to follow Min Ting's old path: "If you can't back up the car next time, call me."
Min Xi never dared to imagine that there would be such an outcome.
After saying this, Fu Yanzhou himself felt that he was becoming less and less principled towards her.
Min Xi stared at him straight, and he looked back at her for a few seconds.
Leaning close to her, the cool breath from his body filled her breath, and the way he spoke was particularly intimate, as if he was holding her in his arms.
Min Xi couldn't resist his deep gaze and looked away.
Fu Yanzhou stood up straight, paused, and tried to find a way to talk: "How much is the ashtray you bought for me?"
Min Xi guessed the reason why he asked this question. He probably didn't care about how much the ashtray cost, but whether it was more expensive or cheaper than Min Ting's.
She said, "It's two hundred and one more expensive than my brother's."
This is the ashtray that is closest in price. She was thinking of giving her brother another 210 yuan worth of gas someday, so that they would be evenly matched.
At 6:30 the next morning, Min Xi was woken up by the alarm clock. No matter how early she opened her eyes, Fu Yanzhou would definitely not be in bed. She rarely saw him at home in the morning.
But today was a rare day. When she went downstairs to eat, he was still at home. He was making a phone call in the living room, instructing the other party to repair the car.
There was a big scratch on the rear of her car and it needed to be repainted.
"Are you not busy today?" she asked.
"I have an appointment in the afternoon, so I have nothing to do in the morning."
Min Xi thought of his father asking them to go home for dinner, and asked again: "What about tonight? Are there any social events?"
Fu Yanzhou looked at her. She would not ask questions without reason, so he did not answer her first, but asked her: "Is there something wrong?"
Min Xi put her bag and coat on the sofa and went to the restaurant to eat.
"My dad asked us when we are free to go home for dinner." She added, "If you have an appointment, go back another day. My dad is not busy this week."
Fu Yanzhou did not hesitate: "Go back tonight."
After a pause, he asked, "Is Min Ting at home?"
Min Xi picked up the warm water and drank: "He must be here. How can he not go back when I go home for dinner?"
Fu Yanzhou nodded and said nothing more.
Father is at home tonight, and Min Xi is not worried about being caught between the two of them. Neither he nor Min Ting will be too presumptuous in front of his father, and their words and actions are very low-key.
Min Xi was halfway through his meal when he still stayed at home.
The dining table was more than ten meters away from the living room, so she had to speak louder: "Not going to the company?"
Fu Yanzhou looked up: "I'll take you there first. I'll have someone take your car to be repaired."
Following the last time I picked her up from get off work at the golf club, today was the first time I took her to work.
The driver was already waiting in the yard, and he had specially driven a car with a relatively low-key license plate number to take Min Xi there.
On the way to Jiachen Public Relations, Fu Yanzhou suddenly remembered something and looked at her sideways: "Have you considered changing your car? I'll give you a sports car. The SUV is too big and it's inconvenient to park."
Min Xi didn't even think about it: "No."
She likes off-road vehicles with a wide field of vision.
My cousin Min Lu likes sports cars and has a row of them parked in the garage.
On her birthday last year, her cousin wanted to give her one as a gift, but she refused.
Fu Yanzhou had no choice but to give up: "Next time you park, try to park in a parking space that is convenient for entry and exit."
He doesn't need to say anything.
But there are always special circumstances.
Min Xi said: "The parking spaces in the basement downstairs of our company are designed to be inhumane, and there are not many good parking spaces."
It’s hard for drivers like her and Ju Youyou who just drive without caring about parking.
Fu Yanzhou continued to read the financial news and chatted with her, "Do you usually ask your colleagues to help you reverse the car?"
"Not really. I've looked for Yu Chengtan a few times." She has been working at Jiachen Public Relations for three years, and there were only four or five times when she really couldn't come up with a solution and had to look for Yu Chengtan.
Min Xi further explained: "It's not a big deal to find him."
"Then try to trouble others as little as possible. If it weren't for your brother's sake, which boss would back up his subordinates every day?"
"Yu Chengtan doesn't even know my brother."
Fu Yanzhou finished reading the news on the current page and was about to scroll down when he paused and asked in surprise: "Isn't Yu Chengtan Min Ting's university classmate?"
"No. He is five years older than my brother."
Yu Chengtan is thirty-five years old.
Fu Yanzhou always thought that Min Xi had a good relationship with Yu Chengtan, and it was Yu Chengtan who brought her back to China to enter the public relations industry, and it was Min Ting who asked him to take care of his sister.
Min Xi said: "In my previous company, he was my immediate superior."
She met Yu Chengtan when she was doing internship in college. It is not accurate to describe her relationship with Yu Chengtan as a boss. She added: "He is both a teacher and a friend. He taught me all the interpersonal skills in the workplace."
She was not sure whether Fu Yanzhou was interested in her private affairs. As she spoke, she unconsciously looked at his reaction. Seeing that he was not interested and did not even raise his head, she stopped talking in time and did not continue.
Fu Yanzhou was still waiting for her to continue talking about why she changed her career because of Yu Chengtan, but she stopped abruptly. He didn't have the habit of getting to the bottom of things, so the conversation ended there.
After a while, the car stopped downstairs of Jiachen Public Relations Building.
When Min Xi got out of the car, she was seen by several colleagues. They only knew that Min Xi's husband was of an extraordinary status, but they had never seen what he looked like.
They thought that after Min Xi got out of the car, he would roll down the window and say a few words to Min Xi, so they were not in a hurry to enter the building.
Unexpectedly, after Min Xi closed the car door, the car turned around and left.
The sweet and loving scene between the young couple that they imagined never happened.
At nine fifty, Min Xi went to the conference room upstairs.
Yan Yinan also attended today's discussion meeting with the media on time.
All the old employees in the company knew that when she was in the media department, she did not get along with her immediate superior Yan Yinan, so the atmosphere of today's meeting was unusually depressing.
She had been away from the media department for two years, and she didn't know much about the rising stars in the self-media during those two years. Yan Yinan has been dealing with various media for a long time and has access to first-hand resources.
With the precautions Yu Chengtan had given them yesterday, they deliberately avoided each other today.
"I sorted out a list of some media last night. Tell us what you think after reading it." Yan Yinan nodded his chin and asked his assistant to give each of them a paper list.
The list is a bit long, so it’s easier to read in paper form.
The first page was the mainstream media, which Min Xi was familiar with. He quickly scanned it and turned the page. On the second page were the names of self-media, many of which she had never come across before, and some of which she had never even heard of.
In the middle of this page's list, there are five or six self-media names enclosed in a large bracket. She knows that these self-media have had considerable influence and popularity in their respective fields in the past few years.
A name was written in blue pen behind the curly brackets: Lu Zhen.
Min Xi raised his head and looked at Yan Yinan across from him: "Director Yan, what is the relationship between Lu Zhen and these self-media?"
Yan Yinan's expression was very calm: "She is the boss."
Min Xi couldn't help but be shocked.
Thinking about it, it’s not surprising. Lu Zhen must have been influenced by her mother to enter the media industry.
Yan Yinan lowered her eyes to look at the list in her hand, and advised herself in her heart that the project was the most important thing, and she should not bear grudges with Min Xi for the time being. She added a few more words: "On the day of the press conference, arrange these media representatives of Lu Zhen to sit in the front row."
After a pause, she continued, "Try to give them as many spots as possible for the interactive session on stage."
As for the reason for doing so, Yan Yinan also gave: "The professional capabilities of Lu Zhen's team and their influence in the field of artificial intelligence are unmatched by other teams."
Another reason is: "Lv Zhen is not only capable but also has a background. The boss of Lingyu Group is her ex, and they have been on good terms since they broke up."
Min Xi: “…”
Yan Yinan didn't know that her husband was Fu Yanzhou. She didn't care about it, nor did she feel offended. Instead, she calmly clarified: "Lv Zhen and Lingyu Group's Fu Yanzhou are just friends who admire each other. The rumors are false."
Yan Yinan's face was gloomy. As the director of the media department, he was questioned on the spot about whether the information he had was false, which was very embarrassing in front of his subordinates.
No one else dared to say anything, worrying about Min Xi.
It doesn't matter whether Lu Zhen is Fu Yanzhou's ex-girlfriend or good friend. Lu Zhen and Fu Yanzhou have a close relationship, and with Fu Yanzhou as her backer, this alone is enough.
They all agreed that even if Min Xi and Yan Yinan didn't get along, they still had to give Yan Yinan face, and there was no need to argue over a piece of gossip during a meeting.
This is a question of emotional intelligence.
The meeting lasted two and a half hours and two-thirds of the media list was confirmed.
When the meeting ended, Yan Yinan said, "I have field work for the next few days, so we will have another meeting on Friday afternoon."
Min Xi spent an entire afternoon sorting out the confirmed list of media. When she was about to get off work, she received a call from her driver saying that her car had been repaired and was parked in the company's underground parking lot.
After hanging up the phone with the driver, she told Fu Yanzhou: [My car is fixed. 】
Fu Yanzhou called afterwards and said he was going to her house for dinner tonight, and he asked her what time she would get off work.
“Soon.”
Although the car was repaired, she still hoped that he would come to pick her up.
Min Xi asked directly: "Will you pick me up when you are done?"
"I'll be there now."
He was just about to hang up the phone, "Hey, wait a minute," Min Xi called him.
Fu Yanzhou asked: "Anything else?"
Min Xi said: "From now on, you have to squeeze out some time for me every week, a morning or an afternoon."
Fu Yanzhou didn't ask her what she wanted to do, and said without hesitation: "Okay."
Min Xi had just made a decision and was going to learn how to reverse from him so that they could spend more time together.
