Chapter 32 So Boring
Fu Chengyun still woke up before the alarm clock rang. In a daze, he felt that he was being stared at by a pair of burning eyes, but he did not feel any discomfort at all.
"Are you awake?"
The man's voice was sweet, without any of his usual bossy airs. Seeing him wake up, he attentively helped him out of bed and pulled the quilt over his exposed abdomen.
Ning Che stayed beside Fu Chengyun, blinking his big, clear eyes at him.
Fu Chengyun felt so soft in his heart that the anger he had felt last night disappeared like smoke and was forgotten about forever.
It was rare for the little fox to be so sweet and lovely. Fu Chengyun touched his head in a good mood, then traced his soft black hair all the way to the end. He picked up a strand and wrapped it around his fingertips.
He thought to himself, such a warm scene, it would be even better if he could give her a kiss.
Fu Chengyun was always defenseless in front of Ning Che, and he did whatever he thought. He stared at the thin lips so close to her and swallowed his saliva.
The Adam's apple slid and was pressed by a slightly cool finger.
"Don't even think about it, just teach me!" Ning Che's rude behavior didn't mean his voice was unpleasant. His voice was still sweet and cloying as he held the phone in front of Fu Chengyun.
Fu Chengyun looked at his phone and sighed. "My phone is more important than me."
Press the power button with two fingers and the screen lights up.
"Wow!" Ning Che exclaimed. "Amazing!"
“It’s technology!”
Fu Chengyun was speechless. How unsophisticated was this guy? They didn't even use cell phones in the deep mountains, so they had to rely on letters to communicate?
Assistant Lin had almost completed the basic phone functions. Fu Chengyun demonstrated each app one by one, explaining which one was his phone, which one was his WeChat, which one allowed direct calls, and which one could send messages or photos.
Ning Che learned very quickly. The operations that were demonstrated just once were like engraved in his mind and he could remember them every time he saw them.
In just a few minutes, he had learned most of it.
Fu Chengyun handed the phone back to him and warned him, "This is just a tool, don't get addicted to it."
"Yeah." Ning Che nodded obediently, his fingers dancing quickly on the screen.
It didn't stop me from getting addicted.
Fu Chengyun sighed and thought that he might have to install an anti-addiction system for him in the future.
Ning Che rarely got up early, and was dragged downstairs by Fu Chengyun to have breakfast.
Fu Chengyun brought the bird's nest to himself, carefully blowing it cool before returning it to Ning Che. Seeing Ning Che lower his head to eat, he peeled the eggs and mangosteen, piled the pulp on a large plate and pushed it in front of Ning Che. Only then did he pick up his chopsticks and start eating.
Housekeeper Li was so happy to see the sweet and sweet relationship between the young couple that he could not express it in words. He nodded with satisfaction throughout breakfast.
After Fu Chengyun finished eating, he said hello and went down to the basement. Ning Che looked at the smiling face of Li Guanjia and asked in confusion, "What good news is there? Why are you smiling like that?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Butler Li waved his hands repeatedly.
Ning Che didn't understand the situation and didn't pursue it any further. After all, Grandpa Li wouldn't harm him. But he couldn't say for others.
He looked at the bodyguards outside the courtyard, his eyes turning cold.
The phone on the table vibrated. Ning Che was startled. This was the first time he heard his phone ring, and he was so lost in thought that he forgot to answer it.
Butler Li thought he wouldn't answer the phone, so he walked over and answered it for him.
A deep and magnetic voice came from the receiver, and Ning Che heard a hint of playfulness and teasing in it.
"Little fox, guess who I am?"
Who else?
So boring!
This was the first call Fu Chengyun made to him. Although he knew that he was just looking for trouble, he still chose to take it seriously.
"What's up?"
Fu Chengyun was indeed fine. He just wanted to make sure that the first call to Little Fox was made by himself. He wanted to ensure that every first time Ning Che had here was his own.
But he knew Ning Che's temper. If he teased him on the first call, he would definitely ignore the next calls. So he could only make up a story out of nothing.
"I was wondering if you needed the phone numbers of Lizi and Chen He."
Ning Che nodded. There was no sound on the other end of the line, still waiting. He then realized that the phone could only be listened to and not read.
"Um"
"Okay, I'll send it to your phone. Save it yourself. If you don't know how to do it, I can save it for you when I get home tonight."
——The answer to Fu Chengyun was a dripping sound without any temperature.
"You're so heartless. You were so warm and cute when you needed me this morning, but now you're useless and won't even listen to what I have to say."
Fu Chengyun slammed his phone heavily on the seat with a depressed expression.
Suddenly a message popped up on the screen.
My little fox:
Fu Chengyun laughed. "You've learned to use chat software so quickly." He really is my darling.
He was overjoyed when given a sweet date. Fu Chengyun sent three strings of numbers and marked their names one by one. At the end, he attached a kiss emoji.
My little fox: What does it mean?
Fu Chengyun: Kiss you!
My little fox: If you don’t agree, don’t even think about touching me
Fu Chengyun: !!!!!!!!!
While they were flirting, the car had already stopped at the company basement. Fu Chengyun suppressed his unsatisfied expression, straightened his suit, and went straight up to the 32nd floor.
Assistant Lin was waiting at the elevator door as usual. After seeing Fu Chengyun nod slightly, he followed him to sort out today's schedule.
"We're still following up on the overseas project. We have a meeting this morning to discuss Party A's requirements. After that, the team leader will give you a brief report during lunch."
"The Chengxi project was successfully won. The company will hold a celebration banquet this afternoon. In addition to the company employees, Vice President Fu Linyu will also be invited to visit."
"Fu Linyu is coming too?"
"It was the old chairman's order." Assistant Lin glanced at Fu Chengyun's face and said the second half of the sentence with great sympathy. "He's not allowed to be late or leave early. He's required to clock in on time every day. They said it was to improve his work ability."
"Heh! Is this to train him or me?" Fu Chengyun's face looked grim, he walked briskly, and slammed the door as soon as he entered the office.
As Fu Chengyun entered the office, everyone went about their duties. The 32nd floor fell silent again, save for the distinct sound of pages flipping.
Fu Chengyun was working at his desk, the tip of his pen making a slight rustling sound as it slid across the paper.
This orderly silence was broken by the sound of an elevator.
"Lin Yu, remember to drink water when you are tired from work, remember to put on more clothes when you are cold, and take good care of yourself when your mother is not around." The nagging muttering of the mother resounded throughout the 32nd floor.
You don't need to look to know which mama's boy is here.
Linzhi has only this one precious son, whom she has protected under her wings since he was young. She loves him so much that he is almost unable to take care of himself.
Fu Chengyun scoffed at this, but he was also happy to see the loving mother and filial son. At least with Lin Zhi around, Fu Linyu would never be able to do anything important, and he would have one less worry, so why not?
He snorted coldly, his eyes fixed on the documents, and he buried his head in his work.
The office phone suddenly rang, "Mr. Fu, Mr. Lin Yu wants to see you to report on his work."
"Him? Still reporting?"
"Yes," Assistant Lin's voice hesitated, and after repeated confirmation, he gave Fu Chengyun an affirmative answer.
"Let him in." Fu Chengyun seriously suspected that he couldn't even write the word "report", let alone the content of the report.
It would be worse for him to see a stink bug in the bushes than to see Fu Linyu, but since he was able to return to the company, the mother and son must have used many tricks on the old man, and they must have coaxed the old man into a frenzy, so they gave him another chance.
The old man couldn't refuse his face. Fu Chengyun could only open the door and meet this new puppet candidate.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the glass door.
"Brother?"
"Enter!"
Fu Linyu pushed open the door and saw a mountain of folders piled on the desk. He walked in tentatively and met a pair of slightly tired eyes as the man looked up from the pile of documents.
A pair of gold-rimmed glasses rested on his high nose bridge, completely hiding the contempt in his eyes and adding a touch of warmth and gentleness.
"Lin Yu is here, please sit down." Fu Chengyun warmly welcomed him, picked up the phone and asked his secretary to bring in two cups of hot tea.
Fu Linyu wore a light grey suit and dark blue skirt, a departure from his usual flamboyant attire covered in logos, looking quite capable and professional.
He sat on the sofa behind the tea table and said with a smile, "Brother, since Dad has let me join the company, it means he still has confidence in me. From now on, we will work together, so if you have anything to say, why not speak directly. This will avoid any misunderstandings in the future."
"How could there be any misunderstanding? We are all family." Fu Chengyun continued to play dumb, waiting for him to reveal his cards.
Fu Linyu smiled frivolously, a calculating look flickering in his eyes. "Brother, I know I was wrong to steal your West City project. But I didn't get any bang for my buck, so we're even. Let's put aside our past grudges and get to work. If there's anything I don't understand, please feel free to correct me."
You think we're even and past grudges are forgotten? You don't deserve it!
Fu Chengyun was being evasive, but his words were frank. "Okay. After all, it's all about the dirt. We all work for the Fu family, so collaborating and making mutual profits is the real thing."
"Thank you, big brother." Fu Linyu smiled with relief, and sat more relaxed. "By the way, how is my sister-in-law doing lately?"
The hand holding the tea was suspended in the air. Fu Chengyun looked him up and down, becoming alert.
Sure enough, he wasn't here just to apologize. Could it be that he was the one who sent the stranger who tried to hurt Ning Che last time?
The dark-black pupils narrowed imperceptibly for a moment, and there was a hint of danger and scrutiny in the narrow eyes. "Why did you suddenly mention him?"
Fu Linyu took a sip from the teacup and explained casually, "Nothing. It's just that at your wedding last time, I was ignorant and had a misunderstanding with my sister-in-law. I was thinking about going to her house to apologize."
Fu Chengyun tried his best to suppress the twitching of his lips and glanced at his arm, which was still in a cast. He thought to himself: It seems he should apologize to you.
"No need. He is a simple person and has forgotten about that matter long ago."
"That's good. I'll organize a party someday and invite my sister-in-law over so we can have a meal together." Fu Linyu stood up and said as he walked.
"Okay." Fu Chengyun followed him to the door, not forgetting the proper etiquette.
The moment the door closed again, the gentle smile on his face disappeared without a trace. Staring at the direction where Fu Linyu left, Fu Chengyun's eyes gradually became gloomy.
Fu Linyu seems a little different today...
