Chapter 37. It was your grandmother who told you to go home immediately.
Lin Zhao stared intently at Fu Yansheng in front of her.
Fu Yansheng fell silent.
Seeing the look in Lin Zhao's eyes, Fu Yansheng lowered his gaze and explained, "I don't know that person, and I don't know who he is. He just sat next to me for a moment."
Lin Zhao responded with an "oh," her expression remaining unchanged.
"What does Brother Fu's friend have to do with me, especially such a beautiful friend?"
Lin Zhao felt a pang of sadness, and as soon as she said it, she realized something was amiss.
But the words have already been spoken, and there's no going back.
Lin Zhao then shut his mouth and stopped speaking.
Fu Yansheng understood the ambiguous meaning in Lin Zhao's words, and his expression relaxed slightly: "In my eyes, Zhao Zhao is the most beautiful."
Lin Zhao snorted but didn't say anything.
The annual meeting was about to begin, and Lin Zhao did not continue to ask the person in front of her about this matter. Fu Yansheng and Lin Zhao sat down at the front, and Ji Xing and Lu Zhou's seats were next to them.
However, Lin Zhao discovered that her original sofa chair seemed to have been replaced.
When Lin Zhao realized this, she subconsciously looked at Fu Yansheng beside her.
Fu Yansheng didn't say anything.
The procedures for annual meetings are mostly the same.
It's simply a report on the group's annual profit or project completion status.
There were also some words of encouragement for employees, and information about this year's bonuses.
The employees are most concerned about bonuses.
However, the Fu Group has always been very generous when it comes to money, and this year's bonus is the sum of the salaries for the past three months.
This means that even if the salary for these three months includes project bonuses, they can still be included in the year-end bonus.
The bonuses have been quite substantial lately.
The employees were thrilled when they heard about the bonus.
The company's small group chat was filled with shouts of "President Fu is awesome!" and "Young Master Lin is mighty!"
Lin Zhao is very popular within the Fu Group.
Even when the matter of the fake young master of the Lin family is brought up online from time to time, the employees of the Fu Group are willing to speak up for Lin Zhao.
After all, Lin Zhao usually enjoys having afternoon tea with them, and occasionally notices their birthdays and prepares gifts for them.
Sincere and kind, I never treated them as subordinates.
Instead, I treated them as friends.
He doesn't have the airs of a rich young master, and he's also good-looking.
Who wouldn't like Lin Zhao?
Moreover, whenever Lin Zhao accompanied President Fu to work, President Fu's tone and attitude were always exceptionally good!
It's simply a panacea for saving all the employees of the Fu Group!
"Looks like I can give my employees a similar bonus."
Ji Xing noticed the small gasps of surprise from the Fu Group employees when they heard about the bonus, and whispered to Fu Yansheng beside him.
Fu Yansheng didn't care. The Ji Group was a large and powerful family, and a few million was just a drop in the ocean for them.
"Please feel free, Mr. Ji."
After the annual meeting, the company's projects will enter a cooling-off period and will not be restarted until after the New Year.
The assistant department will also begin planning the holiday schedules for all departments within the company, as well as selecting emergency personnel to remain at the company during the holidays to prevent project issues.
Assistant Fan had already told Lin Zhao about these things before.
After the annual meeting ended, Lin Zhao realized that the New Year was approaching.
The new year is just around the corner.
"By the way, I heard you sent Chen Mu in?"
As the annual meeting drew to a close, Ji Xing remembered this matter: Chen Mu wanted to leave the Fu Group and start his own business by relying on Ji Xing, but Ji Xing told Fu Yansheng about it.
I didn't follow up on what happened after that, I only heard about it from my assistant yesterday.
"right."
Fu Yansheng nodded without denying it.
Originally, that project was something he and Ji Xing were considering developing together, but they never expected that Chen Mu would give it away as a pledge of loyalty.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Right now, the only family in Beijing that can rival the Fu family is the Ji family. Besides, Ji Xing doesn't have much of a relationship with Fu Yansheng on the surface.
They would probably be happy to accept projects that are offered to them.
However, Chen Mu was wrong; the relationship between the two was not one of competition.
One wrong step leads to another.
"Okay, by the way, Zhouzhou and I will leave early later."
Ji Xing nodded and reminded Fu Yansheng beside him, wanting Fu Yansheng to arrange a passage for him.
Fu Yansheng sighed softly, "It's really not easy for someone with your personality to manage the Ji Group. Alright, I'll have Assistant Fan take you out."
Fu Yansheng almost immediately had his assistant Fan come over to see the two of them off.
The annual meeting is about to end.
Ji Xing hadn't expected Fu Yansheng to be so decisive and efficient.
Lin Zhao looked at Lu Zhou, who was still talking to her, and remained silent: "Brother Lu Zhou, you probably won't be coming back tonight, right?"
Lu Zhou blushed and glanced at Lin Zhao: "Children shouldn't meddle in adult matters."
Lin Zhao responded with an "oh".
Watching the two leave.
"Ji Xing is afraid of contact with outsiders and is usually cold, making it impossible for people to see his true thoughts."
Fu Yansheng explained to Lin Zhao.
Lin Zhao understood; it was social anxiety.
But if Ji Xing is socially anxious, how come he ended up with Lu Zhou?
What a strange feeling.
Even now, it seems like Ji Xing couldn't wait to be with Lu Zhou every day.
However, Lin Zhao did not say any of this. After the annual meeting, Fu Yansheng declined other people's invitations and left directly with Lin Zhao.
Assistant Fan will keep an eye on the rest; Fu Yansheng doesn't need to worry about it.
The company's group chat was flooded with red envelopes, which shows how happy the employees were today.
Fu Yansheng's car was parked on the seaside highway.
Lin Zhao ran towards the seaside as soon as he got out of the car.
It gets dark quickly in winter. It's only six o'clock in the afternoon, but the sky is already starting to darken. It's probably because it's too cold, and it's getting dark. This beach is very quiet, and there's no one else around.
The waves crashed against the beach, constantly moving forward and backward.
Lin Zhao felt the sea breeze, with Fu Yansheng beside her.
"The fireworks won't start until 7:30 PM, how about we wait in the car?"
It was so cold outside. Lin Zhao was wearing a suit, which looked good but wasn't warm. He was shivering when the wind blew by.
But Lin Zhao was so happy that she kept running around and didn't want to get back into the car.
"Brother Fu, go to the car. You already have a cold, so don't let the wind get in."
Lin Zhao, thinking of Fu Yansheng's health, spoke with concern.
Fu Yansheng listened, but after hearing it, he didn't obediently return to the car and stubbornly followed behind Lin Zhao.
Lin Zhao also noticed this and glanced at the sea.
She decisively reached out and took Fu Yansheng's hand, pulling him back to the car: "It's okay, we can watch it in the car too."
Fu Yansheng knew that Lin Zhao was doing this for him, and gave a soft "hmm".
The usually cold expression on his face softened.
Lin Zhao leaned against the window, looking at the scenery outside through the car window, while Fu Yansheng sat in the driver's seat watching Lin Zhao.
The car was well-heated, and Lin Zhao felt a bit hot as he looked around, so he took off his suit jacket and put it aside.
Fu Yansheng thoughtfully tidied Lin Zhao's clothes, then raised his fingertips to his nose, as if he could smell the fragrance he had smelled when he held Lin Zhao that night.
It has a faint, pleasant fragrance.
Now, after simply straightening his clothes, Fu Yansheng felt that his hands had also picked up that smell.
It was 7:30 very quickly.
The fireworks display at sea was pre-ordered by the Fu Group, and the fireworks used were specially tuned by a professional.
Lin Zhao's eyes widened as the fireworks burst in the dark blue sky.
A starry sky appeared in the sky as fireworks burst forth, and then the stars, like the tails of shooting stars, fell from the sky and gradually disappeared.
The fireworks that followed were more spectacular than the last.
Lin Zhao picked up her phone, got out of the car, and started filming. Fu Yansheng glanced at Lin Zhao's coat, which she wasn't wearing, and quickly got out of the car to put it on Lin Zhao, who was filming.
Looking at Fu Yansheng beside him, Lin Zhao flipped his phone camera and pointed the lens at him and Fu Yansheng. Then, with their backs to the fireworks, they took a few photos.
In the video, Lin Zhao is taking pictures very seriously, while Fu Yansheng's eyes are fixed on Lin Zhao.
Serious and focused.
The fireworks display lasted for over an hour, and Lin Zhao took a deep breath.
Watching the video replay on my phone.
"It's a pity we didn't record the first one."
Lin Zhao's tone was filled with regret.
Fu Yansheng reached out and grabbed the clothes that were about to slip off Lin Zhao's body, then draped them over Lin Zhao's shoulders. This time, however, he actually helped Lin Zhao put the clothes back on.
"Don't worry, the Fu Group has arranged for someone to film the whole process, and they'll send it to you right away."
Lin Zhao was a little excited; his favorite thing was that starry sky.
The golden starry sky turned into the tail of silver stars; even a grand fall couldn't be more spectacular.
The fireworks display by the Fu Group is sure to make headlines.
Lin Zhao thought to herself.
Lin Zhao then opened Weibo on her phone and took a look.
Sure enough, videos of the fireworks had already appeared on Weibo half an hour earlier.
After watching the other videos, Lin Zhao realized that the fireworks in the sky were in their best condition no matter which angle you looked at them from.
Blooming beautifully.
Just as Fu Yansheng had the video sent over, his phone rang.
It's the phone number for the Fu family's old residence.
Fu Yansheng frowned and hung up the phone immediately.
After hanging up the phone, no more calls came from the Fu family's old residence. Instead, Fu Yansheng's father called him.
However, Fu Yansheng didn't care and hung up on everyone.
It seemed like something urgent was happening over there, as they kept calling Fu Yansheng.
Fu Yansheng thought to himself, "He has no sense at all," and his face turned somewhat ugly.
Fu Yansheng first glanced at Lin Zhao, who was watching a video on her phone, then walked to the side and slowly answered the phone.
"Fu Yansheng, how dare you hang up on me?"
The middle-aged man's voice was filled with anger, as if he was angry that someone he had always been able to control was now suddenly no longer obeying him, his voice a mixture of fear and arrogance.
Fu Yansheng said unhappily, "So what?"
As if remembering that Fu Yansheng on the other end of the phone was no longer the child he once was, Fu's father could only calm himself down and said coldly, "I don't care where you are now, come back to the old house immediately."
Fu Yansheng didn't even lift his eyelids when he heard this.
He wanted to hang up the phone immediately, but then he heard his father, as if he had anticipated his move, quickly say, "It was your grandmother's idea."
Fu Yansheng then stopped what he was doing and gave a sarcastic smile.
"Then you just wait and see."
This means that I will go back, but when I will go back is not something these people can decide.
"It was your grandmother who told you to go home immediately."
Fu Yansheng found these words ironic.
Home?
The Fu family is not his home.
Fu Yansheng didn't want to listen to the other person and hung up the phone directly.
Looking up, I saw Lin Zhao with a worried expression.
Lin Zhao must have heard what he just said.
"Brother Fu, it's okay, I can call a car to go back myself later."
Fu Yansheng shook his head: "No need, it's just going back to the old house. Zhaozhao can come with me, and we'll go home together afterwards."
This is Fu Yansheng's home.
It's not the home that Fu's father was talking about.
"Go to the Fu family?" Lin Zhao's eyes widened. Fu Yansheng hadn't really wanted him to join the Fu family before, but now...
Fu Yansheng seemed to know Lin Zhao's thoughts and spoke:
"As long as I'm with you, you'll be fine, as long as you're not alone."
