Chapter 13, Section 13: Fu has kept your photos very well.
While still living in the Lin family, Lin Zhao couldn't see Fu Yansheng all the time; Fu Yansheng would only exchange a few words with Lin Zhao every day.
Therefore, Lin Zhao could not notice Fu Yansheng's occasional erratic behavior.
Sometimes Lin Zhao felt that Fu Yansheng was acting strangely.
But Fu Yansheng covered it up again.
Lin Zhao trusted Fu Yansheng a lot, so she believed everything Fu Yansheng said.
But now, hearing what the female employee said, Lin Zhao finally remembered all the things that had been wrong before.
The female employees didn't have much time to rest in the afternoon. After chatting with them and saying goodbye, Lin Zhao went back to work.
Lin Zhao was looking at her phone in the break room. Just now, when they were in the break room, Lin Zhao noticed that it seemed that milk tea was not being served today.
So Lin Zhao decided to order a milk tea for the staff.
Lin Zhao thought about the dietary restrictions that these female employees had mentioned in their recent conversations. After placing the order, Lin Zhao didn't rush back to the office.
She looked at her chat history with Fu Yansheng on her phone at the table in the tea room.
Fu Yansheng chatted with him last night, and apart from not wanting to video chat with him, his tone of voice was no different.
Lin Zhao still remembered that Fu Yansheng had come to their villa area to recuperate when he was a child because of his health. She originally thought that Fu Yansheng had recovered his health after leaving.
Now that she has heard about this, Lin Zhao is worried that it might be due to Fu Yansheng's health.
But he didn't want to ask Fu Yansheng without understanding the situation; Lin Zhao didn't want it to really be a health problem.
Oh, and Assistant Fan too!
Lin Zhao suddenly remembered that Assistant Fan was Fu Yansheng's most capable assistant and should know about Fu Yansheng's health condition.
As soon as the delivery arrived, Lin Zhao distributed the milk tea to the staff before hurriedly taking the elevator upstairs to find Assistant Fan.
Assistant Fan is currently organizing documents and preparing for the upcoming online meeting.
Seeing Lin Zhao cautiously watching him from the doorway of the assistant's office, Assistant Fan asked Lin Zhao in confusion, "Young Master Lin, what's wrong?"
Lin Zhao glanced at the others, then cautiously beckoned to Assistant Fan, acting all mysterious.
Assistant Fan handed the documents to the others and followed Lin Zhao to the office.
"Young Master Lin, does President Fu have something important for you to convey?"
Lin Zhao shook her head and whispered, "Assistant Fan, do you know what Brother Fu does during these few days every month? Is his illness relapsing?"
Upon hearing this, Assistant Fan's smile faltered for a moment, then he chuckled awkwardly:
"Young Master Lin, President Fu has to go back to the Fu family for a few days every month, it seems to be a tradition? President Fu's health should be fine, I haven't noticed him feeling unwell usually."
Lin Zhao responded with an "oh".
However, their tense expressions did not relax.
Seeing Lin Zhao's worried expression, Assistant Fan glanced around and said softly, "Why don't you ask President Fu yourself, Young Master Lin?"
Lin Zhao frowned upon hearing this.
Seeing Lin Zhao like this, Assistant Fan quietly left the office, leaving Lin Zhao alone to think.
He sent a WeChat message to Fu Yansheng as soon as he left the house.
He told her about the matter Lin Zhao had inquired about.
Lin Zhao lay on the table looking at her phone, tapping the screen with her fingertips to type out the words. But before she could send them, she felt it was inappropriate and deleted them herself.
I struggled with this decision for a long time.
Lin Zhao sent out a message: Brother Fu, what are you doing?
It's unclear whether Fu Yansheng was waiting for Lin Zhao to send a message on his phone, but after Lin Zhao sent it, Fu Yansheng immediately called back.
“Zhao Zhao.” Fu Yansheng, dressed in a suit, sat in the pavilion by the pond.
Lin Zhao glanced at Fu Yansheng in the camera lens and pouted.
Last night, Lin Zhao wanted to see Fu Yansheng, but Fu Yansheng was unwilling.
"Brother Fu, are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Zhao looked at Fu Yansheng's expression with some nervousness.
It was confirmed that Fu Yansheng appeared normal and calm.
Lin Zhao's tension eased slightly.
Fu Yansheng gently comforted her, "It's not a physical reason, but some other reason. Is Zhaozhao worried about me?"
"Of course I'm worried! I remember that Brother Fu used to come to the villa area because of health reasons."
Lin Zhao whispered.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yansheng felt a surge of tenderness in his heart and gently coaxed Lin Zhao.
"If Zhaozhao is worried, she can come to the Fu family to see me. I happen to have a friend visiting today, so you can come with him. That way, Zhaozhao will feel at ease, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao's eyes lit up with surprise and delight: "May I come to the Fu family?"
Lin Zhao has never been to the Fu family.
I usually visit Fu Yansheng's house, but I've never been to the old house.
“Of course, if you’re willing. My friend’s flight might take a while, I’ll have him pick you up later.” Fu Yansheng glanced at the time and said softly to Lin Zhao.
Lin Zhao, hearing that her friend hadn't gotten off the plane yet, took the initiative to speak:
"I happen to be free right now, I'll go pick him up! Brother Fu, send me the flight information, I'm coming over now."
Fu Yansheng frowned, somewhat disapproving, but seeing the eagerness on Lin Zhao's face, he couldn't bear to refuse and could only say, "Then I'll have Assistant Fan drive you."
"Assistant Fan is busy organizing documents and preparing for online meetings. Besides, I can drive, Brother Fu, don't you believe me?" Lin Zhao muttered.
The voice sounded like a coquettish whisper to Fu Yansheng.
"I believe you, of course I believe you, Zhao Zhao. I remember there was a car of mine parked at the company, and the car keys are with Assistant Fan."
Fu Yansheng instructed, "Be careful on the road, and pay attention to any cars around you..."
Lin Zhao heard that Fu Yansheng wanted to say something more, so she quickly covered the camera as if to avoid it: "I know! I passed all four parts of my driver's license test on the first try! Brother Fu, don't worry, I will definitely be able to bring your friend to the Fu family safely."
Fu Yansheng shook his head helplessly as he watched Lin Zhao act like a spoiled child.
Are friends important?
"I know Zhaozhao is very capable, but I'm worried."
Fu Yansheng said softly.
Lin Zhao's heart skipped a beat. She leaned on the table, slightly lifting her hand from the lens, and glanced sideways at Fu Yansheng's face.
Fu Yansheng was good-looking from a young age, but his appearance became more cold and hard as he grew up.
In Lin Zhao's mind, he remembered that many second-generation rich kids had said that there were quite a few people who liked Fu Yansheng. Putting aside the Fu family behind Fu Yansheng, Fu Yansheng's face alone was more handsome than most people in the entertainment industry.
After all, it's a face I've had my eye on since I was a child.
Lin Zhao felt a surge of emotion.
"Zhao Zhao, are you listening to me?" Fu Yansheng looked at the camera that was clearly covered by a hand, turned around and saw the pond outside, feeling helpless.
Lin Zhao slowly uttered an "oh".
"I heard you, Brother Fu told me to be careful, I know~"
Fu Yansheng sighed helplessly, gave a few more instructions, and seeing Lin Zhao nodding obediently, he felt his throat go dry. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then said goodbye to Lin Zhao.
After Lin Zhao hung up the phone.
Fu Yansheng sent a message to Assistant Fan.
Lin Zhao received the flight information on her phone and set off almost immediately.
When Assistant Fan was about to take Lin Zhao to the office, he hesitated and said, "How about I drive?"
Lin Zhao waved his hand: "Don't worry, Assistant Fan. Brother Fu is just too nervous. I've been driving before too."
Fan Zhu felt somewhat relieved upon hearing this.
Watching Lin Zhao enter the elevator and go downstairs, remembering what Fu Yansheng had said, he still asked another assistant to prepare to drive Lin Zhao to the airport.
The journey went smoothly, and Lin Zhao arrived at the airport on time. As soon as she arrived at the airport gate, Lin Zhao hurriedly called the phone number that Fu Yansheng had sent her.
It's currently powered off, so it shouldn't be ready yet.
Lin Zhao then entered the airport.
Lin Zhao had never met Fu Yansheng's friends and was a little nervous, worried that she wouldn't be able to pick them up.
Lin Zhao hadn't expected that after he hesitated for just a short while, a blond man would come out, glance at him in the crowd, and immediately fix his gaze on Lin Zhao.
The man walked straight up to him and greeted Lin Zhao in fluent Chinese: "Are you Fu's Zhao Zhao?"
Lin Zhao froze for a moment and let out a soft "ah".
He then called Fu Yansheng's friend on his phone. Only when he heard the person in front of him ringing his phone did Lin Zhao realize that the person in front of him was the one he was supposed to pick up.
The man should have foreign ancestry, a high nose bridge, and deep-set eyes, smiling as he looked at Lin Zhao:
“Fu and I were classmates in college. My name is Lu Zhou. I’ve seen your photos. Fu has kept them very well. I only saw them by chance once. I’ve never been to China before. I only came here this time because of some business. By the way, I’m not Chinese, so my Chinese may not be very good.”
Before Lin Zhao could say a word, she was stunned by what the person in front of her said, and she was surprised to hear that the person in front of her said that her Chinese was not very good.
Lin Zhao's eyes widened, and then she quickly said, "Your Chinese is very good, really."
“My name is Lin Zhao. The car is in the parking lot. Shall we go straight there? Brother Fu is still waiting for us.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou nodded quickly, and seeing that Lin Zhao wanted to take his suitcase, he hurriedly refused.
Lu Zhou was a little taller than Lin Zhao. He watched as the delicate and well-behaved Lin Zhao busied herself trying to take the luggage from his hands.
Lu Zhou felt his heart melting.
If Lu Zhou were to actually let Lin Zhao carry the luggage, he would not only feel guilty, but might even incur Fu Yansheng's displeasure.
After all, this is a treasure, a treasure that Fu Yansheng wouldn't even let them see a single photo of.
Back when I was studying abroad, even if it took more than 30 hours to travel back and forth, I would still come back every month to see Lin Zhao's precious child!
Seeing Lin Zhao's obedient appearance, Lu Zhou, who had been feeling stifled by the long flight, couldn't help but say a few more words.
"I've never been to China before. I've always heard that the food here is really good, but I've been too busy since I graduated. I only came to China this time because of some business. Zhaozhao, if you have time, could you show me around?"
Lu Zhou has an outgoing personality and is quite sociable.
Upon hearing that Lu Zhou had never been to China, Lin Zhao immediately nodded: "Okay, but if you're only staying for a few days, you might only be able to wander around Beijing."
People come and go outside the airport. Standing at the entrance, a gust of wind blows away the warmth inside the airport.
Lu Zhou was dressed rather thinly, and rubbed his exposed arms.
Seeing Lu Zhou's actions, Lin Zhao got into the car, first turned on the air conditioning, and then handed Lu Zhou a spare jacket she had kept in the car from the back seat.
"This is my jacket. I don't know if it's a little small, but please make do with it, Brother Lu Zhou."
Lu Zhou put on his clothes, regained his composure, and said thank you. Remembering what Lin Zhao had just said, he replied softly:
"I will probably be staying in China for a long time, as my main clients are in China."
"I see. Brother Lu Zhou, are you also a finance major?"
Fu Yansheng studied finance abroad, so Lin Zhao naturally assumed that Lu Zhou in front of him was also a finance student.
Lu Zhou quickly shook his head:
"I didn't study finance, I studied psychology."

My elderly relative is sick and needs an IV drip these past few days, and I have to stay with them during the day, so updates might be a little late~ [Please!]
-Today's Mini-Theater:
Lu Zhou (smoking and sighing): Back in the day, someone would travel over thirty hours round trip just to see someone, making sure to return to China once a month to see that person. I won't say who I'm talking about, sigh, just a sigh. [Okay]

Lu Zhou (puzzled): That shouldn't be? Zhao Zhao, you didn't know? I remember coming to see... (suddenly someone covers his mouth)
