Chapter 9 Despite engaging in intimate acts
Fu Jinyan was somewhat surprised.
But this is actually what he wanted.
He called Shi Nian over, partly because of this consideration.
He was only the third son of the Fu family, while Lu Yanzhi was the head of the entire Lu Group.
He also doesn't want any overly intense conflict between the two sides unless absolutely necessary.
However, Shi Nian's easy agreement was indeed beyond his expectations.
He had originally prepared to ask Shi Nian to persuade him privately.
Thinking it over, Fu Jinyan frowned and carefully examined Shi Nian, trying to figure out what she was thinking at that moment.
However, Shi Nian's large sunglasses concealed all her emotions, making it impossible for Fu Jinyan to guess what was going on.
"Let's go through the procedures."
Shi Nian didn't explain in front of the other two. She lowered her eyes slightly and looked at the fine solid wood desktop in Fu's Entertainment office. The desktop had rings of annual growth patterns, but her heart was completely unmoved.
"My songs are fully represented by Fu's Entertainment and go through the agency process."
After speaking, Shi Nian looked at Fu Jinyan to the side.
Fu Jinyan immediately understood and beckoned the relevant personnel to come over and hand over the work to Han Wei.
Han Wei looked at Shi Nian, a flash of contempt crossing her eyes.
"Miss Yan's decision is truly peculiar," Han Wei said, her words carrying a veiled sarcasm towards Shi Nian, who had repeatedly said she wouldn't sell but ultimately agreed.
Shi Nian just smiled, offered no explanation, then stood up and left the office.
As she walked down the corridor, Shi Nian poured herself a cup of coffee.
Fu Jinyan caught up with him.
"Shi Nian," Fu Jinyan called out to her.
Shi Nian turned around and nodded slightly: "President Fu".
Fu Jinyan's expression was complicated. After thinking for a moment, he finally asked, "Why?"
Shi Nianxiao.
Looking at Fu Jinyan's conflicted eyes, she said, "Did you hear that? She said she's going to participate in 'The Voice of Heaven'."
Fu Jinyan didn't understand, but based on the information he had received, he nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that Han Wei is going to be a guest, not a contestant, but more like a judge who gives compliments."
Shi Nian's smile deepened.
She put her coffee aside and said, "So, Mr. Fu, aren't you looking forward to it?"
Fu Jinyan looked completely bewildered.
"Lu Yanzhi and I have already completed the divorce procedures, but we still need a 30-day cooling-off period before we can get the divorce certificate."
Shi Nian explained to Fu Jinyan, "The reason he gave me was to get a marriage certificate with Han Wei."
"Wasn't she supposed to use it as the lead single? One day, everyone will know that this is a song I wrote. Isn't that interesting?"
Shi Nian smiled as she looked at Fu Jinyan's face, which showed a sudden realization.
She said softly, "I'm waiting to see their expressions that day."
"Is this to get revenge on them?" Fu Jinyan asked again.
Shi Nian didn't answer immediately, but simply picked up the coffee beside her.
The bitterness of coffee enters the heart through the mouth.
“No,” she said.
"I just wanted to have nothing to do with them anymore and focus on my own things." Shi Nian looked at the trees outside that were being gently swayed by the wind.
"They just forced a sale and walked right into the line of fire, so what about me..."
Why not?
As Fu Jinyan listened to Shi Nian speaking calmly, his expression was complex.
The Shi family used to be very influential in City A. They were all around the same age, so they had known of each other's existence since childhood.
You could even say they have feelings for each other.
Not to mention Shi Nian, the famous young lady of A City, who was the white moonlight in the hearts of many men.
However, the Shi family later declined, and few people remembered Shi Nian after that.
That's just how realistic things are between people. If it weren't for what happened back then...
Fu Jinyan looked away as he thought of this, not letting Shi Nian notice his unusual behavior.
"Divorce is fine too." After about three seconds of silence, Fu Jinyan finally said this.
Shi Nian looked at Fu Jinyan with gratitude.
"Thank you," she said sincerely.
“Mutual benefit.” Fu Jinyan smiled as well.
That's true.
The three sons of the Fu family competed for ultimate control of the Fu Group.
Of course, the one who achieves the best results will be promoted.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Fu Jinyan promised Shi Nian not to reveal that they were in a cooling-off period, and then went to deal with the matter.
We'll discuss "The Sound of Heaven" later.
Shi Nian stood alone in the same spot.
Holding her coffee, she looked out at the trees swaying in the wind.
I don't know how much time has passed.
A series of footsteps approached.
Familiar shadows were the first to invade Shi Nian's territory.
She knew it was Lu Yanzhi.
So she pulled up her mask and turned her back to him.
"Why did you do this?" Before Shi Nian could leave, Lu Yanzhi's voice came from behind.
Calm, composed, with a noble air that comes from the passage of time and the accumulation of power.
Along with the breeze came the familiar scent of his woody perfume mixed with tobacco.

That's what he usually does.
"Your literary talent is evident from your composition and lyrics. You are a very talented person. Why would you make things difficult for someone who is about to die?"
Hearing Lu Yanzhi's words, Shi Nian felt a little sad.
Shi Nian slowly turned around and looked up at Lu Yanzhi, who was looking at her with a slight frown.
"Me?" Shi Nian looked him straight in the eye and said softly, "Am I very talented?"
A flicker of doubt crossed Lu Yanzhi's eyes.
"Mm," he replied.
This is an objective fact.
But Shi Nian smiled.
Talent?
A memory flashed through my mind: their wedding night a year ago.
He lit a cigarette in their bridal chamber and said those words to her.
"Shi Nian, Grandpa's condition is not very good, and I'm worried about him."
That day he said, "Put aside your small-time songwriting and composition work in the industry for now, and take good care of my grandparents."
The rising smoke was like his attitude at the time.
Light and carefree.
At that time, she said she could balance taking care of the elderly and working as a songwriter.
But he frowned.
“Shi Nian, our Lu family doesn’t need you to do this kind of public work.”
In the end, she agreed.
She told herself that Grandpa Lu's condition was indeed not good and that she needed to take good care of him.
But deep down, she knew what he meant...
Is it that she doesn't need to show her face in public, or that her work and "talent" have never been taken seriously?
He never explained any of this to her.
Even though they are husband and wife, and despite having done the most intimate things in the world.
Lu Yanzhi looked at the woman in front of him.
He always felt a sense of familiarity about her, as if he had seen her somewhere before.
But looking at her chest-length hair, her avant-garde yet tasteful suit, and those perfectly placed high heels that accentuated her beautiful leg lines, I couldn't quite place her.
Suddenly, he felt a little irritated.
For some inexplicable reason, he felt that the woman in front of him resembled Shi Nian somewhat.
