He has spent countless hours and effort to climb to where he is today, and it is not worth ruining his future for a trivial matter.
So, after much consideration, he still picked up his wine glass and walked towards Ji Fuying.
"Manager Ji has surpassed his predecessors; I was narrow-minded. I apologize to Manager Ji here."
Ji Fuying knew that he was still resentful towards her, and that he was only willing to back down because of the contract.
"The Fang Group has been cooperating with the Ji family for many years. I won't replace you unless there are major problems. I've signed the contract, it's your turn."
Ji Fuying casually pushed the signed contract in front of him.
She couldn't just replace the company Manager Tang had chosen as the partner as soon as she took over, could she? Besides, apart from the manager being a bit arrogant, she couldn't find any other faults.
"Okay, I'll sign it right away." Fang Tianyao, seeing that things were going well, opened the contract and quickly signed his name.
I initially underestimated her because I thought she was just a young girl and shouldn't have much say in the decision-making process.
Later, seeing her confident attitude, he realized that she had full authority to decide on cooperation matters, meaning that even if she wanted to change her company, it would be an easy thing for her.
After the contract was signed, everyone felt much more relaxed. Ji Fuying said casually, "Today, the Ji family is hosting. Please feel free to order whatever you like to drink or play. Don't be shy."
Li Zhuo and He Wenjun didn't particularly like anything, so they simply sat down next to Ji Fuying and chatted with her.
Because of what had happened before, Fang Tianyao was too embarrassed to go over there again, so he could only ask the waiter to call a hostess for him.
The young lady had met Fang Tianyao a few times and knew that he was the general manager of Fang's Group. She quickly swayed her serpentine waist and sat down next to him.
"Mr. Fang, I've heard so much about you. It's great to finally meet you in person. Seeing is believing, indeed." The woman's voice was frighteningly sweet.
Even Ji Fuying, who was sitting to the side, was a little frightened, thinking to herself that the person Hua Yinyou had summoned was indeed... quite unique.
Fang Tianyao, who was initially feeling somewhat dejected, immediately regained his smug demeanor upon hearing the woman's flattery. "She really knows how to talk," he thought.
'Ring ring ring'
It was Ji Fuying's phone ringing.
"Excuse me, I need to go outside to take this call." She nodded to the two people beside her, got up, and walked out of the private room.
Hello.
"Miss Ji is also in Soaring to the Heavens?"
"You are... Lu Ci?"
"Hmm, would you like to come sit in room 668 for a while?"
"Okay, wait a moment."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Fuying returned to the private room.
He Wenjun could tell that she probably still had something to do, so she pulled Li Zhuo to stand up and said goodbye, "Manager Ji, it's getting late. Thank you for your hospitality, we have to leave now."
Although Fang Tianyao hadn't had enough fun yet, he felt it wouldn't be fun for him to stay alone after the other two left, so he got up as well, saying, "I should probably go too."
"Okay, then I'll take you there."
"No need, we know this place quite well. We'll be going now, we can meet up again sometime."
He Wenjun refused to let Ji Fuying see her off and left while talking to the other two.
"Xu Nuo, you should go back too."
"I'll take Manager Ji home first."
"Just call me by my name from now on. 'Manager Ji' sounds a bit awkward. I have something to do, you can go back now."
"I'll call you Fuying in private, but when others are around, you should still call me Manager Ji. Be careful, I'm going back now."
After Xu Nuo left, Ji Fuying turned and walked towards VIP room 668, unaware of the figure that had returned behind her.
Xu Nuo originally intended to leave the car keys to Ji Fuying, but she saw Ji Fuying walk into VIP room 668. The moment the door opened, she actually saw Lu Ci, the president of Lu's Group.
Despite having only met him once, she clearly recognized him as Lu Ci. With such an arrogant and imposing aura, there was no other person like him in Kyoto besides President Ji.
She gripped the keys tightly in her hand, but finally turned and left.
Ji Fuying pushed open the door to VIP room 668 and immediately saw Lu Ci sitting in the center. He was looking down, playing with the wine glass in his hand, his gaze deep and sharp.
Hearing the door open, he raised his eyes, a clear glint flashing in them, and a long-lost smile appeared on his lips as he stood up to greet Ji Fuying.
"You've arrived."
"Oh, what a coincidence, you're here too."
He hadn't contacted her since he left the hospital, and she never expected to run into him here today.
"I'm having a small get-together with some friends. Let's sit down and chat."
Lu Ci naturally took Ji Fuying's hand and walked back to his original seat. The two had just sat down and hadn't even had a chance to speak when several teasing voices sounded around them.
"No wonder Mr. Lu didn't like the female companion I introduced. It turns out he had a stunning beauty with him."
Jiang Shiyuan looked at the two handsome men and beautiful women with an expression of understanding.
He also said that with Lu Ci's aloof personality, he would never find a wife in his life, but he didn't expect him to find one even faster than him.
"Lu Ci, you've been hiding this for too long."
Xu Nianzhi was also very surprised. They had such a good brotherly relationship, yet they hadn't revealed it at all before. Were they keeping it from them?
"Be mindful of your words. She's my friend, nothing more."
Lu Ci glared at them unhappily, then turned to Ji Fuying, "I'm sorry, they misunderstood."
"It's okay, as long as you explained it clearly."
She could understand why they acted this way because of their good relationship. She believed that if she suddenly appeared in front of Li Xiaole and Li Muning with Lu Ci, they would have the same thought.
"We're still friends, Mr. Lu. You'd better keep up the good work!"
Jiang Shiyuan said something else, then quickly led his female companion to sit far away, afraid of disturbing them.
Xu Nianzhi chuckled, said nothing, but led his female companion a little further away.
"Ignore them, how's your foot?"
"I'm fully recovered now. Oh, and I haven't thanked you and your brother for saving me despite the danger."
A car explosion is the most dangerous thing in a car accident. They risked their lives to rescue her from the car. This kindness is hard to repay.
"It was nothing, no need to be so polite. I heard you are now the new general manager of the Ji Group."
"Yes, I just took office recently, and I'm here today to sign a contract."
"Is it about the construction and development of Floating Firefly Island?"
When Floating Firefly Island was mentioned, Ji Fuying felt a little guilty. "Yes, that's right."
If she hadn't interfered behind the scenes, it's uncertain who would have ended up with Floating Firefly Island.
At this moment, Lu Ci also fell into deep thought: who exactly was the person who was helping Ji Yan behind the scenes?
He searched for so long but still couldn't find any information about that person. When did Kyoto have such a powerful person?
