There was a dinner after the shareholders' meeting of Lemeng Food. Fu Yanzhou only showed up at the dinner for more than ten minutes, drank two glasses of wine and left early.
Other investors were waiting for the opportunity to chat with him at the dinner, but their hopes were dashed.
When Fu Yanzhou returned home, only his belongings were left in the living room, study and bedroom. The cloakroom was also clean and tidy, with no trace of her at all, as if she had never lived there.
The only things she had left were some of the habits he had developed because of her.
Chu Yi's call brought him back to his senses.
Fu Yanzhou stood in front of the empty jewelry table in the cloakroom, with his cell phone on the table with the speaker turned on, and answered the call. "What's the matter?" He began to take off his watch.
There was a lot of noise from Chu Yi's end. He had just come out of a wedding company, holding a sample wedding invitation in his hand. He designed the invitation himself, but due to his limited skills, he took a photo and sent it to the family group. His parents and relatives complained that the design was too rustic and insisted that he find a professional designer to design it. His girlfriend said that she liked it this way and would not change it.
After receiving the proof of invitation, he immediately shared the joy of life with Fu Yanzhou: "I will hold the wedding on August 8, the day before your birthday."
Happiness stained the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
He still had a piece of wedding candy in his mouth, his own wedding candy, and looked at the invitation in his hand: "My first invitation is written to you and Min Xi. By the way, when will Min Xi come back from Paris? Don't wait until I get married, she is still on a business trip abroad."
Fu Yanzhou congratulated first, then remained silent for a moment: "Min Xi and I are divorced."
Chu Yi was stunned. The bustling crowd and traffic in front of him seemed to have disappeared.
Two or three seconds passed before everything returned to normal.
"Why did you leave?"
Fu Yanzhou put down his watch and habitually took off the ring on his ring finger. After a pause, he suddenly realized something and raised his hand to his collar to unbutton it.
“There are many reasons.”
Chu Yi put his hands on his waist, put the tip of his tongue against his teeth, and finally sighed deeply. He is still unclear about what happened between them, so he will wait until he sees Min Xi and asks her about the situation.
He replied to Fu Yanzhou: "It's better to get a divorce. Min Xi can finally be free." The relationship was not equal from the beginning, and it would be easy for her to get into a dead end.
“…”
Fu Yanzhou picked up the phone: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know." Chu Yi had no intention of provoking him. "You are in a marriage of convenience, but the convenience can't bind your marriage. Isn't this a problem?"
Fu Yanzhou didn't say anything.
Chu Yi looked at the invitation in his hand again: "Then my first invitation is for Min Xi."
Fu Yanzhou didn't mean to pour cold water on him, but to make him face the reality: "You are my classmate, Min Xi will not attend your wedding, don't make it difficult for her."
Chu Yixin said, what do you know.
"She and I have a special relationship. She will come."
--
Fu Yanzhou offered such a big project to Jiachen. After Yu Chengtan rejected it, he told Min Xi that he knew Min Xi's character. He knew that she would not have any further contact after the divorce and would not accept the kindness or compensation from her ex.
He would not accept it even though Jiachen did not have many high-quality big customers like Lemeng Beverage, it would be great to have it, but he would not accept it without doing anything.
"Does he know that I'm in charge of the bidding?"
"I don't think I know."
Min Xi calmed down and nodded. It had been half a year since the incident happened. There was no point in not wanting him to know about it again.
She didn't need compensation.
And all Fu Yanzhou was willing and able to give was compensation.
Yu Chengtan handed over all the information about Shengshi Automobile to her and said, "Don't worry, you can adjust it for another two days."
Min Xi simply said, "No need."
In her situation, it would take two months of adjustment before she could adjust. I've liked him for so long, it's not something I can let go of in a day or two, and I can't just do nothing for two months.
Yu Chengtan followed her and didn't ask any more questions.
Min Xi returned to the office. She didn't wear makeup to work today, so she needed to wash her face with cold water every one or two hours to calm herself down.
She hasn't been wearing a ring recently, and the company gossip group is spreading rumors about whether she is having a marital crisis. There is no need to hide the divorce, she said generously in the group: [I’m divorced. 】
After washing his face again, Min Xi sat in front of the computer.
She had promised to help Yan Yinnan, but hadn't yet fulfilled her promise, so she found Lu Zhen's phone number and called him.
After the press conference of Shengshi Technology, Lu Zhen and Min Xi collaborated twice more, which was quite pleasant. However, the two did not meet in person, and it was other people in the team who contacted them.
I thought there was a problem with another project, so I went to her to purchase resources.
Lu Zhen answered the phone and greeted him with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard from your media department that you were sent to Paris."
"Yeah, I just got back last week."
After a few pleasantries, Min Xi directly stated his purpose: "I want to make an appointment with Editor-in-Chief Yang through you." When asking someone for help, you have to show your sincerity: "If there is anything I can help you with in the future, just let me know."
Immediately afterwards, Min Xi confessed: "Fu Yanzhou and I are divorced." Lu Zhen believes Fu Yanzhou's account, but whether he will give her face is still unclear.
Lu Zhen was still shocked when Min Xi said she wanted to divorce him. How could such a solid marriage be divorced?
A year and a half later, she still clearly remembers every detail of the Shengshi press conference. In order to clarify the rumors, Fu Yanzhou flew thousands of miles to attend the press conference. He cared so much about Min Xi, so why did he get divorced?
Fu Yanzhou is a cold and aloof man, which always makes women want to conquer him, but makes him difficult to control. At the press conference, she once thought that Min Xi was the woman who could make him make an exception.
Lu Zhen pulled his thoughts back and said straightforwardly: "Helping with this kind of thing has nothing to do with whether you are married or single. But I can only help with the connection, I can't make the decision for my mother."
Because of her work, she was familiar with every PR company and she had turned down all those who asked her for help in making connections. However, she made an exception today by agreeing to help Min Xi with the connection.
Lu Zhen was so straightforward that it was beyond Min Xi's expectation: "The matchmaking has been a great help. Thank you."
"You're welcome. When I asked Fu Yanzhou for help before, you were very straightforward. You didn't get defensive or hostile towards me or be unwilling to help just because I pursued him."
It is useless for outsiders to comfort someone about a divorce. Besides, they are really unfamiliar with each other, and comfort would seem insincere. Lu Zhen smiled and said, "Let's get rich together in the future."
Min Xi also smiled: "Then happy cooperation."
The day after she called Lu Zhen, Yan Yinan made an appointment with Lu Zhen's mother. To express his gratitude, Yan Yinan wanted to treat her to a meal.
[Wait until I come back from my business trip.] 】
She is going to Shanghai tomorrow.
Shengshi Automobile's office address is at the headquarters of Shengshi Group. Min Ting has a house nearby. Standing on the terrace, he can see the Shengshi Building and LOGO.
Since the divorce, Min Ting treated her like a child. Before she passed away, he had someone buy roses to decorate the apartment and also bought a few bottles of soda to put in the refrigerator.
On the fifth day of living in the apartment, she went downstairs to buy coffee. Just as she pressed the elevator button, someone walked over. She subconsciously glanced over and saw Sheng Jianqi holding the phone to his ear, answering a call.
Both of them were stunned.
This apartment is the closest high-end apartment to Shengshi Building, so it is not surprising that he lives here.
Seeing that he was on the phone, Min Xi just nodded and said hello.
Sheng Jianqi nodded slightly and entered another elevator.
It wasn't until the elevator door closed that he said helplessly to his phone, "Mom, don't think I don't know what you're up to."
His mother, together with other persons acting in concert in the group, decided to appoint him as CEO of Shengshi Automobile to familiarize himself with the business of the automobile sector. It was not mentioned earlier or later, but there happened to be major personnel changes in the group at this time.
Madam Sheng was so angry that she laughed and was speechless for a long time: "What can I do? I am your biological mother, what can I do? Can I harm you? Why is it so difficult to communicate with you now?"
She pressed her temples and realized that calling him would shorten her life by several years.
Sheng Jianqi: "It's not that communication is difficult, it's that what you did made me not want to communicate. I've said it before, I don't like Min Xi's type."
Madam Sheng was puzzled: "What does it have to do with Minxi?"
Her son began to talk nonsense.
Sheng Jianqi pointed out to his mother: "You tried every means to get me to go to Shengshi Auto. It's because you knew Min Xili was gone and was in charge of the Shengshi Auto project, so you wanted to bring us together. Mom, this is boring. I don't have any feelings for her, so don't worry about it."
Mrs. Sheng was dumbfounded: "Min Xi is divorced? Is she still in charge of the Shengshi Automobile project?"
Sheng Jianqi: "…It's pointless to pretend anymore."
He hung up the phone directly.
Mrs. Sheng hurriedly called the current CEO of Shengshi Automobile to find out what was going on.
She really didn't know that Min Xi took over the Shengshi Automobile case and transferred his son to Shengshi Automobile just to make him familiar with all the business segments of the group.
It turned out to be a good thing.
--
The coffee that Min Xi bought had gone cold and she hadn't thought about drinking it yet. She just checked her Moments and saw Fu Yanzhou's updates. He hadn't posted any personal updates in the two years since they got married. He would occasionally forward news related to Lingyu Group. In the past year, he had been promoting the Jiangcheng Park, which was a mandatory task given to him by Yan Heyu.
Just half an hour ago, he posted two pictures, which were his schedule for the next week and a simple summary of his work in recent days.
Not only did I post it on WeChat Moments, I also made a reservation.
He is at home now.
A group boss like him would never post updates with his location, nor would he easily release his schedule or work content.
She hurriedly asked her cousin whether Fu Yanzhou had posted on WeChat Moments.
My cousin affirmed: [No. I asked a few more people, and even Yan Heyu said it had not been sent. 】
That is visible only to her.
In the past, she wanted to know more about him and receive more calls from him. He promised her that he would report to her frequently, and later he really did, but it was just a very simple report.
During the six months she was in Paris, he sent her his itinerary directly to her email, whether she read it or not, and sent it to her on time every Sunday night.
He felt it might be inappropriate to send the message via email after the divorce, so he posted it on his circle of friends instead.
Min Xi was sad for a while, then adjusted her mentality and blocked his circle of friends.
The coffee was cold, so she simply put it in the refrigerator to chill it.
The new car was released in October. She test-drove it today. It felt completely different from her black SUV, and also different from the bright red SUV that Min Ting gave her.
The theme and goal of this communication should be consistent with the current living conditions of young people.
After closing the refrigerator door, she suddenly hurried back to the study and polished the paragraph that had just flashed through her mind into the plan. She had been dissatisfied with the original version before.
[In a dream.]
On the way to find.
At the end of loneliness.
Find yourself in the endless confusion. 】
After polishing it, she sent the plan to the relevant person in charge of Shengshi Automobile.
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound on the study glass. Min Xi came back to his senses, got up, opened the curtains, and it was raining.
The raindrops as big as beans fell down, fast and dense.
It was also raining in Beijing at this time, and it was raining heavily.
Fu Yanzhou picked up his phone twice and tried to open his Moments, but finally put it down.
The time in the lower right corner of the computer is 21:41.
In the past, if he was working overtime at home at this time, Min Xi would walk to the door of his study and ask him if he could work overtime in the bedroom, because it was not convenient for her to put her legs on him in the study, but she could do whatever she wanted while sitting on the sofa.
Intellectually he didn't want to do that because her leaning on him would affect his work, but every time she asked him, he took the laptop to the bedroom and met her request.
The phone vibrated, there was a call coming in. Fu Yanzhou came back to his senses. It was the CEO of Lemeng Food.
He answered the call, probably because he wanted to find out who was in charge of the bidding at Jiachen Public Relations.
"Mr. Fu, sorry to bother you so late."
"It's okay. Go ahead."
The CEO accidentally learned today that Fu Yanzhou and Min Xi were divorced, so his thoughts were out of control and he always felt that the reason for the divorce was related to Lemeng Food’s public relations agency business.
He couldn't help but feel nervous when reporting the situation: "I asked three groups of people, but no one could tell who was in charge of the bidding. Even the people in Yu Chengtan's secretary office didn't know about this. So it shouldn't be Yu Chengtan who was in charge of the bidding."
It is impossible for Yu Chengtan to complete the project plan by himself. He has to manage the company and does not have the energy. Even if he participates in the project, he will not do it himself. He will leave it to his subordinates, and he will be responsible for checking the general direction.
But Yu Chengtan found someone in the middle of the night to ask their executives what the conditions were for signing the business to Zhuoran Public Relations.
"Now we can only ask Yu Chengtan himself to find out the whole story." He did not dare to ask without authorization, and asked Fu Yanzhou first: "Mr. Fu, should I go to Yu Chengtan to find out the situation?"
"No. Thank you for your hard work."
Fu Yanzhou hung up the phone, his eyes darkened, and he stared at the computer screen.
When did she start preparing for the bid?
His Adam's apple moved slightly, and he sent a message to the CEO of Lemeng Food: [Give me Yu Chengtan's number. 】
It was past ten o'clock, but he couldn't wait until tomorrow, so he called Yu Chengtan himself.
Yu Chengtan didn't have Fu Yanzhou's number. Looking at the strange caller, he knew that this number range and last digit were not something that ordinary people had. By intuition, he guessed it was Fu Yanzhou.
After hesitating for a moment, he answered the call.
Without waiting for him to ask, the other party introduced himself directly: "Mr. Yu, I'm sorry to bother you so late, I'm Fu Yanzhou."
In any case, Yu Chengtan said a few polite words.
Fu Yanzhou knew clearly that Yu Chengtan would never tell him the truth over the phone.
He asked, "Mr. Yu, when are you free? I want to visit your office."
Yu Chengtan was in the corridor of his villa. It was raining heavily outside. This was the first time he and Fu Yanzhou had a face-to-face communication. They had just nodded and greeted each other before, but never spoke.
Even the sound of rain could not cover up the calm and powerful aura of Fu Yanzhou on the other end of the phone.
At this moment, he couldn't guess why they were looking for him.
Maybe it has something to do with Min Xi.
It is also possible that he was trying to persuade him to take on the Lemon beverage project. He didn't want to talk about either the former or the latter. But Fu Yanzhou always took the initiative to come to him, and even if he made an excuse to not see him, Fu Yanzhou had plenty of ways to make another appointment with him.
"I wonder if it would be convenient for Mr. Fu after 10 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Fu Yanzhou: "It's convenient. I'm free anytime."
