Chapter 17: Merchants No Longer Focus on Profit
The car stopped in the basement. The driver opened the left door and Ning Che got out. Fu Chengyun sat in the car, his eyes following the man's movements.
In the time when every second counted, he just wanted to spend more time with people before sending them home.
But before they could say a few words, the topic of interest came up again.
When facing Ning Che, he was always unwilling to weigh the pros and cons that had been engraved in his bones since childhood.
When a businessman no longer values profit, he is most likely finished.
Fu Chengyun stared at the man's resolute back and smiled self-deprecatingly.
But the man was completely unaware of his turbulent emotions and took two steps forward. Ning Che suddenly turned around and asked, "Is Jiaer afraid of his mother leaving?"
"Well, whenever my sister goes on a business trip, she sends him to boarding school. His father died early, and my sister raised him alone, so he's closer to my mother."
Fu Chengyun pressed his knuckles against his brow, looking a little tired. "Besides, he's only six. Sending him to boarding school would be a bit lonely. It's normal for him to dislike it."
At this age of innocence, he is forced to be alone.
The chubby little figure seemed to overlap with a thin and short figure.
I am also lonely and helpless, walking alone...
Ning Che was not a pampered young master, so he could not understand the difficulties he faced in going from luxury to frugality.
But I can empathize with the fear of entering the world alone and facing an unfamiliar environment.
It's just that his unfamiliar environment is even more dangerous.
Ning Che turned around, took a step towards Fu Chengyun, and asked, "If he doesn't like it, why give it to him?"
"His father passed away, and his aunt isn't in good health. There's nothing we can do about it."
The two of them were only an arm's length apart. Fu Chengyun only needed to move a little closer to reach out and grasp those scallion-like fingers.
His body moved faster than his brain, and he raised his hand to reach Ning Che's hand hanging in front of him.
The fingertips curled slightly and stroked across the slightly cool back of the hand.
Ning Che moved his arm slightly, then raised his leg and walked away.
As he turned around, he raised the corners of his eyes slightly and rolled his eyes at Fu Chengyun with arrogance, which was completely different from the gentleness and humility he showed during the meal, and there was no politeness at all.
"Oh! You have no conscience!"
I tried my best to protect him, but he didn't even glance at me.
"He's just an ungrateful person!"
The car door slowly closed, and Fu Chengyun shifted in his seat. The warmth of the person on the leather cushion hadn't yet dissipated, and as he sat on it, a surge of joy welled up in his heart for no apparent reason.
Looking out the window again, the man had already disappeared around the corner of the elevator.
The elevator went up to the first floor and Ning Che walked into the living room.
Butler Li and the aunt were hiding behind the curtains, cowering with their heads down, peeking out of the yard with one eye out.
As soon as he entered the house, Ning Che couldn't wait to take off his coat. The clothes in this world were too restrictive and he could never get used to them.
His fingers twirled around the two buttons on the front of his shirt, and he glanced quickly out the window.
Outside the courtyard, several burly men in black suits stood at the four corners of the courtyard, with serious expressions and standing straight.
It arrived so quickly. It seems that Aunt Fu Chengyun has some strength and means.
"Don't be afraid, they are Aunt Fu Chengyun's people."
Housekeeper Li and Auntie both breathed a sigh of relief. Auntie patted her chest as if she had found a savior and went into the kitchen.
Butler Li walked over to Ning Che and took his coat, his face full of pride. "Little Che is amazing! He took down the head of the Bai family with one move!"
"Of course!"
In order to get promoted, he had done a lot of flattery, and he was very good at saying different things to different people.
With a big smile on his face, Ning Che held his head high, looking like he was asking for praise.
"I almost forgot, our Xiao Che is already the leader of a sect. The Bai family is naturally easy to capture. This time Cheng Yun is not at home, so we can rest assured."
The matter that he had been worrying about all night was finally resolved. Butler Li was in a good mood and tried to make Ning Che happy.
He smiled kindly and urged Ning Che upstairs. "Go wash up and change your clothes. Grandpa will make you some delicious bird's nest tonight."
"Hmm." When he heard about the smooth and tender bird's nest, his eyes obviously lit up.
Ning Che had a very hard life in the past twenty years. Now that he is here, he has people to serve him, to coax him, to protect him and to support him.
He was so happy that he didn't want to leave, and he became arrogant without realizing it.
I like sweet things, expensive things and enjoy life. I even wonder what kind of entertainment people here usually have.
He walked up the stairs slowly with a curled mouth. Butler Li said downstairs:
"Send another cup to Cheng Yun this afternoon."
"Ah?" The little greedy cat immediately lowered his head, very reluctant. "You go."
"Silly child, although Cheng Yun treats me well, he is ultimately just an employee of the Fu family. To us, he would be a servant. How could a servant leave his post and go to the master's company to show off his power? But you are different."
The crisis was over, and he accepted the fact that he had lost all his inner strength. Now that everything was settled, he just wanted to settle down and enjoy a few days of good life.
He was not willing to do such tiring work as delivering meals.
Ning Che turned around, trying to argue. "Then you come with me."
Housekeeper Li stood at the bottom of the stairs and urged him, "Besides, I have to go to the hospital to get my physical examination report this afternoon. Be obedient, change your clothes and go downstairs to eat bird's nest. Go quickly."
"All right."
Ning Che raised his head and sighed, just for the sake of the bird's nest.
Fu Chengyun wasn't so lucky and rushed to the company without stopping. Assistant Lin had already arranged for the team on a business trip to France to wait in the conference room, eagerly awaiting their CEO Fu's arrival to make the final decision.
After getting out of the elevator, Fu Chengyun plunged into work without even taking a breath.
The whole afternoon was filled with endless meetings, endless proposals to listen to, and endless signatures.
By the time he finally walked out of the conference room, most of his energy had been exhausted.
There is a long corridor between the conference room and his office, and at the other end of the corridor is Fu Linyu's office.
Fu Chen deliberately arranged his office to be across from Fu Chengyun, on the one hand to make it easier to monitor Fu Chengyun's every move, and on the other hand to make things difficult for Fu Chengyun.
Every time he walked out of the office, he could see the second son supported by his father dividing his power.
This way you can better experience the disgusting feeling of being punished for disobeying.
This will make Fu Chengyun afraid and never dare to resist again, and make him become Fu Chen's most loyal puppet.
Fu Chengyun sat at his desk. At the end of the corridor was a tightly closed door. The dark room was dead silent.
Fu Linyu left early again.
After getting the money from the west city project, he started being late and leaving early before he even finished the morning.
Actually, it’s not his fault. He had a crooked mouth, slanted eyes, and a broken arm. He was seriously injured, but he still insisted on coming to sign the contract. He is very strong-willed.
He mostly rested at home these days and rarely appeared in front of Fu Chengyun, which saved Fu Chengyun a lot of trouble.
Whenever he looked up at the opposite side, Fu Chengyun would always praise the one at home in his heart.
The little fox is ruthless and quick-witted, and his moves are beautiful. He can break the arm of a strong alpha with just one kick.
She is worthy of being my, Fu Chengyun’s, wife!
He even had a very dark thought: If Fu Linyu dares to show off again, he will let the little fox at home beat him to death!
The tip of the fountain pen slid across the paper quickly, and the flowing handwriting showed that the owner was in a good mood.
A quick knock on the door interrupted Fu Chengyun's evil thoughts that were flying all over the world.
Assistant Lin stood by the door, holding a small white box in his hand.
"Mr. Fu, this is the phone I prepared for your wife as you instructed. I've asked someone to install a positioning system. Your phone number and chat software have been entered, and the number has been sent to your phone."
"Hmm." Fu Chengyun looked at the latest model of the brand-name mobile phone and could already imagine the poor man holding the phone, not knowing how to use it, with a silly look in his eyes.
Humph! If you can't use your phone by then, you'll still have to beg me!
Assistant Lin looked at his boss who was strict and serious at work, and actually smiled with his eyes curved as he looked at a mobile phone.
Shocked beyond words.
She has followed Fu Chengyun for many years, and her boss is a real workaholic!
Over the years, countless "Os" have come to me, resorted to trickery, or used connections to get in. I've never seen the boss give any of them a second glance.
She looked calm on the surface, but was actually amazed in her heart!
As expected! Even a hero cannot resist the temptation of beauty. The Green Tea boss is in love!
But she didn't want to interrupt, so she could only cough twice.
He casually put the cell phone box into the drawer, and Fu Chengyun looked up and motioned her to continue.
"Also, Mr. Li from Star Entertainment is already waiting in the lobby."
"Let him in."
A tall and thin middle-aged man soon walked into the office.
"Mr. Fu, long time no see."
Fu Chengyun stood up and shook hands, then made a gesture to invite the other party to sit down.
Star Entertainment launched a new project a few years ago, and as a shareholder, the Fu family naturally invested heavily. However, the money spent failed to make a splash, and the young star they were promoting was nowhere to be found in the industry.
Stopping the loss in time is the best option. No matter how Mr. Li persuades, Fu Chengyun will naturally not continue to invest.
"Mr. Li, we have already invested a lot in your project, but the income is very small. We will not continue to invest for the time being."
Fu Chengyun said straight to the point that he would not do business that would lose money.
Mr. Li looked embarrassed and wanted to continue to plead. But if his plea had worked, he wouldn't have come all this way today.
The middle-aged man rolled his eyes, leaned forward slightly, and whispered, "I wonder if you are not satisfied with the omega sent to you earlier?"
"I know you have a stunning wife now, and no matter how good a man is, he won't catch your eye. I wonder if you're interested in women?"
"Huh?" Fu Chengyun laughed suddenly.
With that stunning face before him, Fu Chengyun followed Mr. Li's words and asked, "You also know that my wife is extremely beautiful, so naturally I can't look down on anyone else. You'd better save your breath."
Mr. Li looked embarrassed, "Mr. Fu..."
There was a knock on the door, and Assistant Lin was waiting quietly at the door holding documents.
Fu Chengyun smiled gently and waved his hand, stopping Mr. Li's words. "Of course I'd invest heavily in your company's profitable projects, but for the current projects, you should find someone else."
After saying this, without giving Mr. Li a chance to react, he turned around, took his cell phone and walked out of the office door.
Assistant Lin and the administrative staff followed Fu Chengyun into the conference room. The entire 32nd floor suddenly became quiet, leaving only the middle-aged man's dejected figure and helpless sighs.
"Without further investment, this project will really fail." Mr. Li leaned back with a bitter face and frantically refreshed his address book, trying to find a glimmer of hope.
"Where's Fu Chengyun?"
The cool voice was a little lazy, and a pair of white sneakers suddenly appeared in front of the middle-aged man.
