After having lunch at home, Fu Yan went out.
He hadn't been back to China for six months, and many of his old business partners, upon hearing the news, were preparing to throw him a welcome-back banquet.
However, this was too extravagant, and Fu Yan directly refused.
In the end, the welcoming banquet turned into a leisurely gathering at the tea house.
Fu Yan was the last to arrive. By then, the people he had arranged to meet were already drinking tea.
"Chairman Fu, you've finally arrived. Please take a seat."
It was Bai Mian who took the initiative to speak.
On the surface, the two families are still in a marriage alliance, and with a marriage contract maintaining the relationship, their relationship is naturally closer than that of others.
Bai Mian came to do this, and he was well-received.
"Everyone, I'm late, there was a bit of traffic on the way."
Fu Yan chuckled and made up an excuse for himself.
"After spending more than half a year abroad, I've completely forgotten about the traffic situation in City C."
As the absolute protagonist of this gathering, his late arrival is no big deal.
The others joined in the teasing, their eyes scanning Fu Yan's face, trying to catch his emotions, but to no avail.
Half a year has passed, and the old fox is still the same old fox, keeping a low profile.
"Chairman Fu, we were just talking about Xingzhou. Now Xingzhou has become quite successful, managing the affairs of the Fu family very well. He is truly young and promising."
When Fu Xingzhou was mentioned, the group immediately followed suit and praised him.
However, there were many truths among them.
After all, Fu Xingzhou's abilities are evident to everyone in City C.
"You flatter me, everyone. My son has a strange temperament, and we will all have to support each other in the future."
“He’s young and prone to making mistakes. If he does anything wrong, just tell me.”
Fu Yanduan appeared to be a very magnanimous person, but who would dare to say that Fu Xingzhou had done a bad job?
At most, it's just a bit inhumane.
"Chairman Fu is too kind. I am very satisfied with Xingzhou as my son-in-law."
"I'm actually looking forward to the day when this marriage can be settled, so that my Weiwei won't have to think about it day and night."
Bai Mian laughed heartily, what sounded like a joke actually foreshadowed something.
The others exchanged glances and unanimously avoided taking up the conversation.
Fu Yan picked up the teacup beside him, took a small sip, and smelled the aroma of the tea.
He looks like he's seriously sipping tea.
The scene became somewhat awkward at one point.
Bai Mian's smile froze for a moment, and he immediately picked up the teapot beside him to refill Fu Yan's cup.
"Chairman Fu, although you can drink this tea abroad, it's not as authentic as the one in City C. After all, this is where it's produced, so the taste is quite different, isn't it?"
Fu Yan glanced at him, put down the teacup in his hand, and pushed it towards Bai Mian.
"What Chairman Bai said makes sense; everything from your hometown is the best."
"Chairman Bai is so thoughtful. He knew I liked it and specially saved it for me."
Bai Mian smiled, and their eyes met, as if they had already said a thousand words.
The subsequent gathering consisted of casual conversation about mundane topics.
There haven't been many policy changes in City C recently, and Fu Yan already knew about the information these people had received.
So the atmosphere became a bit boring in the second half.
After the rather long gathering, Bai Mian suggested that he and Fu Yan leave together.
The others said their goodbyes and tactfully left.
But they couldn't help but murmur about it behind his back.
