Chapter 77 Come and hook up!
In the spacious and bright office, sunlight pours in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the warm yellow. Two large desks are placed opposite each other on the left and right in the office.
No matter how calm and aloof Fu Ci pretended to be, the astonishment and surprise in his eyes still inadvertently surfaced when he saw this scene.
In his relatively few chaotic memories, his cousin Huo Jingchen seemed to hate him getting close to his brother, right?
He thought that his brother personally welcoming him and giving him roses had touched Huo Jingchen's bottom line, and he would definitely try to stop it, but what was the situation now?
His deep gaze swept over Huo Jingchen, who was secretly trying to take credit for something with Lu Shiyan, and his brows knitted slightly, "Boss Huo, what do you mean by this?"
Huo Jingchen glanced at the clean, bright, and well-equipped office and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Mr. Fu? Is there something you're not satisfied with?"
Fu Ci suddenly turned around, a meaningful smile flashing across his charming and clear face. "The Huo Group has fifty floors in total, and they can't even spare two offices?"
"Do you still need Mr. Lu and I to share a room?"
Huo Jingchen explained calmly, "It's like this, Mr. Fu. This project is huge and time is extremely tight."
"So, in order to save some time when I need to contact you two for work, I asked my special assistant to prepare the same office for you two."
"Mr. Fu, you are new to the workplace. If you have any questions, you can ask Ayan. Also, Ayan is from North City and may not be familiar with South City. If I am away for something, I would like to trouble Mr. Fu to take care of me."
"Being in the same office allows you to develop stronger bonds with each other, which will allow us to collaborate more effectively."
"Mr. Fu, are you right?"
What's right?
Fu Ci looked calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with turmoil. He could still barely endure Lu Shiyan's deliberate approach and teasing just now.
In the past, whenever he approached his brother, Huo Jingchen wanted to stab him to death with his eyes, for fear that he would defile his noble little cousin.
But what is he doing now?
Are you blatantly trying to match him up with his younger cousin?
It was difficult for Huo Jingchen, who was always dignified and cold, to say those high-sounding words just now. He was almost saying bluntly: I sent my cousin here, come and flirt with him!
Fu Ci suddenly felt like crying but had no tears. It was said that serious men were the most handsome. His brother was so charming when he was working. The once obedient and clingy little fool could be looked at for a whole day, let alone him?
But Fu Ci couldn't show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction or concern. Qi Wentao was still watching them intently from behind, so he could only say in a cold voice, "There's no need to cultivate feelings. I hope you don't mistake me for someone else."
"I'm not here to make friends. Besides, there might even be a generation gap between Mr. Lu and me."
He was referring to the differences between the north and south cities, but that didn't sound like the case to Lu Shiyan.
His eyes darkened and he touched his thin and pale face. He had been living like a walking corpse for the past three years. Even sleeping had become difficult, let alone eating properly. He was definitely not as elegant and handsome as he was three years ago.
But looking at Fu Ci, she has lost the childish side of three years ago, and her already charming and beautiful appearance has become even more impactful. There is also a bit of innate dignity and pride in her every move. Even with a cold face, her aura is enough to be intimidating.
Lu Shiyan secretly made up his mind to ask Aunt Liu to make more soup for him after get off work so that he could gain weight back quickly.
He did not tell Lu Yanzhou about Fu Ci. He firmly believed that the person in front of him was his little fool A Ci, but he had lost his memory and could not remember all of them, and he had become the eldest master of the Fu family.
He could only approach him step by step, try to evoke his memories, and wait until the dust settled before telling Lu Yanzhou, so as to avoid making another person anxious and angry.
Lu Yanzhou always thought that Lu Shiyan felt too guilty about Fu Ci's disappearance, which was why he had tortured himself to the point of being half-human and half-ghost for the past three years.
After knowing that Lu Shiyan would be staying in Nancheng for a while, I thought he wanted to change the environment, so I sent Aunt Liu and Uncle Wang over with concern.
Lu Shiyan suddenly thought that maybe he could ask Aunt Liu to make some soup and send it over. Fu Ci might remember something when he tasted the familiar flavor. So he sent a message to Aunt Liu and Uncle Wang, asking them to make a bowl of Fu Ci's favorite cordyceps flower stewed chicken soup and send it to the company.
Seeing that Fu Ci had no objection, Huo Jingchen glanced at Qi Wentao and said with a faint smile, "Special Assistant Qi, right?"
"Your office is over here, next to A Yan's special assistant, Li Yan. However, Li is still in Beicheng handing over matters and won't be here until tomorrow."
"Let me take you there first."
Qi Wentao's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Fu Ci in a dilemma. The master had ordered him to keep a close eye on the eldest young master's every move in the Huo family, especially those concerning him and Lu Shiyan, no matter how big or small.
But now the eldest young master was not only arranged to share an office with Lu Shiyan, he was also isolated in another office. How could he keep an eye on the eldest young master?
Qi Wentao quickly came up with a plan and said with a smile, "Boss Huo, don't bother me. Boss Fu is the first one to go out to work, and the master asked me to take care of him, so I can't be too far away from him, otherwise I would be derelict in my duty."
"I'll just sit here."
He took a look, then put his briefcase on his workstation outside the office. Sitting here, he could clearly see every move in the office through the open louvered window.
Fu Ci said to Huo Jingchen, "Mr. Huo, there's no need to go to great lengths. We'll leave once the project is finished."
"Assistant Qi, please sit here. It will be convenient for me to find him."
Lu Shiyan frowned slightly, and looked at Huo Jingchen. The two of them quickly separated without saying a word.
After settling in, the three of them held a brief meeting. The morning passed quickly and it was almost lunchtime when Aunt Liu and Uncle Wang came over carrying large and small bags.
Qi Wentao immediately stopped the two of them, slightly surprised at how they got up here.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
Uncle Wang immediately said, "Hello, we are Mr. Lu's driver and aunt, and we are here to bring lunch to him and the second young master... the boss."
Qi Wentao was a little surprised when he heard this. Logically, the Huo family should have prepared a welcoming banquet, so why did Lu Shiyan ask his aunt to prepare lunch?
Suddenly, a strong arm fell on his shoulder. He subconsciously looked at the owner of the arm. It was Huo Jingchen's special assistant Xiao Zhiyan.
Xiao Zhiyan smiled and said, "Assistant Qi, I have reserved a table at Lanxufang. Together with all my colleagues from the Secretariat, I welcome you to the Huo Group."
“I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation during this period.”
"But our President Fu..."
"Oh, don't say but. Our President Huo won't let your President Fu starve. Let's go. Our colleagues are waiting."
Xiao Zhiyan directly pulled the hesitant Qi Wentao away. President Huo said that he couldn't be an eyesore here.
