Chapter 129 How can you be so shameless?
Pei Jiuyan is now answering Yun Zhaozhao's questions without any attempt to hide anything.
"Didn't he take up his post in the planning department? I had someone dig a hole for him, not a big one, not enough to seriously hurt him, but it'll still be a bit embarrassing."
Pei Jiuyan glanced at Yun Zhaozhao as she spoke, and seeing that she didn't seem worried, he felt relieved.
Yun Zhaozhao did not expect that this matter was also related to Fu Shangluo. She felt a little complicated. She thought that he had already let go, but it turned out that it was all just a facade.
The day after talking to Pei Jiuyan, Yun Zhaozhao received a call from Fu Shangluo, who said he needed to talk to her and wanted to meet her.
Yun Zhaozhao considered it for a moment and agreed. She wanted to see what Fu Shangluo wanted to talk to her about.
Upon learning that Yun Zhaozhao was going to meet Fu Shangluo, Pei Jiuyan became extremely displeased, his entire demeanor radiating unhappiness.
Yun Zhaozhao ignored him and went to the banquet as promised the next day. In the end, Pei Jiuyan pinched his nose and saw her off outside the restaurant.
"I'm going to the North City today and won't be back tonight. Remember to take someone with you wherever you go."
Pei Jiuyan gave instructions.
He was unwilling to leave at this time, but he had to go to Beicheng in person because it involved the use of the port.
"I'll try my best to get back tomorrow, please don't go alone."
Pei Jiuyan gave Yun Zhaozhao a long, worried reminder, but Yun Zhaozhao looked helpless and said, "Pei Jiuyan, you're only thirty, not eighty."
After saying that, she closed the car door. Pei Jiuyan watched her enter the restaurant, and the two female bodyguards he had hired followed her in. Only then did he have someone drive him to the airport.
"Keep a close eye on things here, especially with Chen Boxu. Be wary of him resorting to desperate measures."
Pei Jiuyan said to Assistant Qin.
When facing Assistant Qin and his team, he displayed a completely different demeanor: calm, composed, and confident of victory.
"Understood, Mr. Pei."
Assistant Qin nodded repeatedly, saying that he would certainly live up to the salary.
Fu Shangluo had already arrived at the restaurant. He had chosen a window seat and naturally saw Yun Zhaozhao and Pei Jiuyan's tug-of-war. In his eyes, it was a scene of the two being very affectionate and reluctant to part.
He had originally planned to have a good talk with Yun Zhaozhao today, but because of that scene, he hadn't been able to calm down until Yun Zhaozhao sat down.
"Director Fu."
After Yun Zhaozhao sat down, she politely greeted Fu Shangluo.
Fu Shangluo previously worked at a well-known domestic university. After leaving the university, he went directly to take up a bureau-level position, which can be said to be a very high starting point.
Upon hearing Yun Zhaozhao's address, Fu Shangluo couldn't manage a smile at all.
"Zhaozhao, do you have to be so polite with me?"
Before Yun Zhaozhao could speak, he continued, "Putting everything else aside, we grew up together, and we have such a long-standing friendship. Have you forgotten all of that?"
Yun Zhaozhao frowned. She disliked Fu Shangluo using this to talk to her: "Fu Ke, it's you who forgot these things, not me."
They got to this point because of Fu Shangluo, not because of her.
She had said long ago that she didn't like him and didn't want to develop a relationship with him, but he insisted on doing it anyway.
She didn't want things to turn out this way.
Fu Shangluo was taken aback upon hearing this, his expression turning somewhat ferocious. After a long while, he said, "I called you here today to discuss your company's project, which involves many irregularities."
As he spoke, he pushed the printed documents in front of Yun Zhaozhao, which listed some of the non-compliant aspects of the Yun family's work in this project.
"They handed these over to me, and I've kept them to myself for now."
"I can help you stall for a little longer."
Yun Zhaozhao looked through those things, feeling even more uneasy.
If she hadn't already learned everything from Pei Jiuyan, she might actually have been grateful to Fu Shangluo.
She moved her lips slightly and slowly said, "Thank you."
She didn't expose this pretense because she didn't want to ruin Pei Jiuyan's plan.
If Fu Shangluo finds out beforehand, things might change.
Although Yun Zhaozhao was still not very enthusiastic, Fu Shangluo was satisfied; all he wanted was the opportunity to interact with her.
If there are these non-compliant issues this time, there will likely be other issues next time.
One day, Yun Zhaozhao will realize that he is the only one who can help her.
Thinking of this, he said, "I really didn't expect you to take over the Yun family business. I thought you would continue painting with Grandpa Huang. Although you learn everything quickly, I know that your favorite thing is still painting."
"I have no choice now."
"If I don't take over the Yun family business, I can only watch it decline little by little."
Although she hired a manager, she never felt as at ease as when she managed things herself.
"I know, I just feel sorry for you."
Fu Shangluo looked distressed: "The thought of you dealing with things you don't like makes me feel bad. Zhaozhao, don't worry, your brother Shangluo will help you."
"...Brother Shangluo, you should be focusing on Wenshu right now. She's three months pregnant, right? How's she doing?"
Yun Zhaozhao changed the subject; she simply didn't have Fu Shangluo's acting skills and couldn't keep up the banter.
Upon hearing the name of the document, Fu Shangluo's expression changed. "Zhaozhao, don't you know what's going on between her and me?"
"You don't know, I've become a huge joke."
"People outside are saying that I... and my family is pressuring me to be with her again."
Fu Shangluo looked pained.
Yun Zhaozhao, however, pointed out the crux of the matter: "Your family forced you? Did Grandpa Fu force you too?"
Fu Shangluo really wanted to nod, but then he remembered that his grandfather hadn't shown up on the day of the engagement ceremony, and Yun Zhaozhao must have guessed something.
He could only shake his head and say, "Grandpa didn't object, but he didn't object either. They all want me to have a child soon."
Yun Zhaozhao just smiled at this; she didn't believe a single word Fu Shangluo said.
When she found out he was involved with Wenshu, she was genuinely worried about him. Now it seems they are birds of a feather.
When Fu Shangluo realized that his attempt to play the victim had not achieved the desired effect, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
Everything was fine last time.
Yes, because of Pei Jiuyan!
Because she and Pei Jiuyan got back together.
"You and Pei Jiuyan are back together, isn't that right?"
"I heard he has moved to your place."
Fu Shangluo didn't want to say it, but he couldn't help it.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhaozhao glanced at him and said indifferently, "This is my private matter."
A single personal matter completely broke Fu Shangluo's defenses.
"Yun Zhaozhao, how could you be so shameless!"
