Chapter 617 Sweet
After Gu Weiluan left, Fu Shanzhan introduced him to her: "He is the youngest of the Gu family. You have met his parents and brothers."
After being led by Fu Shanzhan to recall the past, Qiao Yunxue finally remembered - at her wedding, Fu Xiao had been playing with a child of similar age, who turned out to be Gu Weiluan.
"Then he and Axiao... are a generation apart?" Qiao Yunxue reacted.
"Yes, in terms of seniority, Fu Xiao should call him uncle. He is the son of his parents who came in their old age. His eldest brother is the same age as us." Fu Shanzhan went to get a bottle of water for Qiao Yunxue and handed it to her, then sat down next to her naturally.
Qiao Yunxue took a sip of the water to moisten her throat, then asked him, "Did you invest in the ski resort with him?"
Fu Shanzhan nodded.
Qiao Yunxue: "He's only in his early twenties and already has such a business acumen. That's quite impressive."
Fu Shanzhan was a little jealous when he heard her praising Gu Weiluan: "Isn't I pretty awesome now?"
Qiao Yunxue knew him too well and could immediately detect the sour taste in his words. She said helplessly, "Yes, you are better. Alright."
"Look at how perfunctory I am." Fu Shanzhan laughed. "Gu Si is indeed better than me. He is born to be a businessman and his brain works faster than mine."
Qiao Yunxue: "Ideas alone cannot be realized without capital."
Fu Shanzhan: "Well, that's true."
Qiao Yunxue: "So he is very lucky, with the right time, right place and right people."
Fu Shanzhan heard the envy in Qiao Yunxue's words and quickly guessed the reason -
Fu Shanzhan fell silent. After thinking for a while, he tentatively asked her, "What stage are you at in preparing for your studio now?"
Qiao Yunxue: "It's still at the paper stage."
Speaking of this, she was a little worried. "I'm wavering now. Should I set up a studio and recruit positions first, or should I first confirm people online and promote the product?"
Fu Shanzhan: "Are you trying to control costs?"
"Yeah, office rents are pretty expensive. I want to wait until things are back up and running before renting an office. I'd like to transition online, but online work comes with its own risks." Qiao Yunxue's headache grew worse as she spoke. She raised her hand and rubbed her temples. "Let's wait and see how Lu Ye goes with this negotiation."
Fu Shanzhan: "He came back to China to discuss your studio's affairs?"
Qiao Yunxue nodded. "He contacted a relatively famous painter. I wonder if he's willing to cooperate with us."
Fu Shanzhan fell silent again.
He really has no experience in business and can't offer any constructive advice, but -
"How about this," Fu Shanzhan looked at Qiao Yunxue seriously, "I'll be your investor, what do you think?"
"Forget it then." Qiao Yunxue refused without even thinking.
First, she knew that Fu Shanzhan had no interest in this industry and only invested because of her; second, even if Fu Shanzhan was really interested, she didn't want to have another layer of this kind of relationship between them.
Love and work cannot be mixed, otherwise other problems will arise later.
"Why?" Fu Shanzhan persisted, "I'm only responsible for investment, and the profits are divided according to the contract. I will definitely not interfere with your daily work."
"I'm rich," Qiao Yunxue said. "I don't plan on looking for investors for the studio. Having Lu Ye as a partner is enough. I'm considering these things because I want to minimize unnecessary expenses and spend my money wisely."
When Fu Shanzhan heard her say this about Lu Ye, he lost his temper again, "Why is Lu Ye able to do it, but I can't?"
"That's different. I think feelings and work should not be mixed together." Qiao Yunxue answered without hesitation.
After hearing this, Fu Shanzhan suddenly fell silent.
He frowned at first, then his eyes changed, his frown suddenly relaxed, and a bright smile appeared on his face.
Qiao Yunxue was puzzled and didn't understand how he could have so many emotions in just one or two minutes.
"What are you laughing at?" Qiao Yunxue raised her hand and waved it in front of Fu Shanzhan. His expression looked like he was stimulated by something.
"It's okay." Fu Shanzhan came back to his senses and grabbed Qiao Yunxue's hand. "Do you still want to ski?"
"No, let's go see Qiao Qiao." Qiao Yunxue was afraid that she would really get hurt if she fell and miss tomorrow's flight.
"Okay, I'll take you there." Fu Shanzhan stood up and took Qiao Yunxue's hand, pulling her out.
He pulled very tightly and Qiao Yunxue couldn't break free at all. After trying twice, she simply gave up.
Fu Shanzhan was in a good mood and started humming after walking a few steps. Qiao Yunxue hadn't heard him sing for a long time. He would only hum when he was in a particularly good mood or was particularly proud.
"Fu Shanzhan." Qiao Yunxue was so curious that she tugged at his sleeve. "Why are you in such a good mood all of a sudden?"
He was clearly still arguing with her about Lu Ye just now, but the next second he was like he had taken some wrong medicine...
"Guess." Fu Shanzhan shook his head and kept the secret, refusing to say anything.
He looked like he deserved a beating. Qiao Yunxue rolled her eyes and said, "No need to guess. You can tell me if you want to. I don't really want to know."
Fu Shanzhan: "That's it."
Then he really stopped talking and continued to hum a song while leading her forward.
Qiao Yunxue gritted her teeth, and the long-lost childishness and immaturity in her body were brought out by him - she would definitely not ask today.
This situation had happened to them countless times before. Fu Shanzhan liked to keep her in suspense and not answer her right away. She would get angry after asking him a few times and ignore him out of spite, but in the end she would not be able to resist asking out of curiosity.
Then I would be teased by him for a long time.
Facts have proved that people do improve as they grow older. Qiao Yunxue really held back and never fell for his trick.
The three of them had lunch near the ski resort and then set off back to the city. Qiao Qiao had been skiing with his coach for the whole morning and was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he got in the car.
For fear of disturbing Qiao Qiao, Qiao Yunxue and Fu Shanzhan didn't say much along the way.
It wasn't until they entered the city that Qiao Yunxue took the initiative to speak: "Let's take Qiao Qiao back to the old house first."
Fu Shanzhan glanced at Qiao Qiao who was fast asleep in the rearview mirror and nodded.
Twenty minutes later, Fu Shanzhan's car stopped at the door of the old house.
He unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car, opened the back door, and picked up Qiao Qiao, who was wrapped in a blanket.
"Wait for me in the car. I'll hand her over to your aunt and come out." After Fu Shanzhan gave Qiao Yunxue instructions, he carried Qiao Qiao in.
Qiao Yunxue waited for less than ten minutes before she saw Fu Shanzhan walking out in a hurry.
She checked her phone and said, "You stay with Qiao Qiao. I can call a car to go back. It's not far."
"It's okay, your aunt is here, I'll take you there." As he spoke, Fu Shanzhan had already gotten into the car.
The car started and after driving for a while, Fu Shanzhan glanced at Qiao Yunxue in the rearview mirror and asked, "Are you really not curious anymore?"
Qiao Yunxue: "You don't say it."
Fu Shanzhan: "If you act like a spoiled child, I'll tell you. Isn't it easy to deal with me?"
Qiao Yunxue sneered, "I won't fall for your trick."
Fu Shanzhan: "Tsk, it's harder to deceive people when they're older."
Qiao Yunxue: "What do you mean old? Who are you calling old?"
