Xu Zhiru stayed in the hospital for a few more days. During these days, Fu Chen stayed with her almost every step of the way, which made Xu Zhiru secretly happy. It seemed that her "self-torture trick" was really effective.
However, she also knew that pretending to be sick was not a long-term solution, and she had to find a way to make Fu Chen completely devoted to her.
That day, Fu Chen sat by the bed as usual, gently peeling an apple.
"Ah Chen, have I caused you trouble again?" Xu Zhiru said softly, with a hint of weakness and self-blame in her voice, "Is everything going well at the company?"
"It's okay, don't worry." Fu Chen handed the peeled apple to Xu Zhiru, "I'm here to take care of the company, just take good care of yourself."
"But..." Xu Zhiru hesitated to speak, looking worried.
"What's wrong?" Fu Chen asked with concern.
"I just feel that I'll be a burden to you if I'm always so sick." Xu Zhiru lowered her eyes, looking pitiful.
"Silly girl, what are you talking about?" Fu Chen reached out and stroked Xu Zhiru's hair. "You are the most important person to me. How could I think you are a burden?"
"But..." Xu Zhiru was still worried, "I heard that the company's recent situation is not very good, and it's all because of me..."
"Don't let your imagination run wild." Fu Chen interrupted Xu Zhiru. "The company's affairs have nothing to do with you. It's my fault for not handling them properly."
"Ah Chen, you don't have to comfort me." Xu Zhiru raised her head and looked into Fu Chen's eyes. "I know it's all because of me that you..."
"Zhiru, you really think too much." Fu Chen held Xu Zhiru's hand, "I will take care of the company's affairs, you don't have to worry."
"Yeah." Xu Zhiru nodded, but her heart was filled with joy. She knew that Fu Chen would fall for her tricks the most.
As long as she pretends to be pitiful and acts coquettishly, Fu Chen will obey her in everything.
"You have a good rest. I still have some things to take care of." Fu Chen said, "Call the nurse if you need anything."
"Okay." Xu Zhiru nodded obediently.
After Fu Chen left, the smile on Xu Zhiru's face immediately disappeared. She picked up her phone and called Xu Zhao.
"Hello, sister." Xu Zhao's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Azhao, has Fu Chen behaved in any unusual way these days?" Xu Zhiru asked.
"No." Xu Zhao replied, "He has been staying with you in the hospital these days and hasn't seen Ning Nanxue."
"That's good." Xu Zhiru breathed a sigh of relief. "Keep watching closely and tell me if anything happens."
"Don't worry, sister." Xu Zhao said, "I won't let you down."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhiru showed a smug smile on her face. Ning Nanxue, do you think you've won? I'm telling you, as long as I'm here, you'll never get Fu Chen!
A few days later, Mrs. Xu really extended an olive branch to Ning Nanxue and invited her to cooperate.
"Mr. Ning, our Xu Group is very interested in your company's new project." Mrs. Xu said on the phone, "I wonder if you are interested in cooperating with us?"
"Mrs. Xu, you're so polite." Ning Nanxue was very excited. "It's our honor to cooperate with Xu Group."
"Then it's settled," Mrs. Xu said. "Let's find a time to discuss the details of the cooperation."
"Okay, Madam Xu," Ning Nanxue said, "I'll be at your service anytime."
After hanging up the phone, Ning Nanxue jumped up excitedly.
She immediately told Jiang Tingchen the good news.
"Senior, the Xu Group is going to cooperate with us!" Ning Nanxue said excitedly, "We succeeded!"
"Really?" Jiang Tingchen was also very happy. "That's great! I knew you could do it!"
"This is all thanks to you." Ning Nanxue said, "If it weren't for your help, it wouldn't have been so smooth."
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Jiang Tingchen smiled. "This is a victory for both of us."
"Yes!" Ning Nanxue nodded vigorously. "To celebrate our acquisition of the Xu Group as an important partner, let's celebrate it tonight!"
"Okay." Jiang Tingchen said, "How do you want to celebrate?"
"You arrange it." Ning Nanxue said, "I trust you."
"Okay, I'll arrange it." Jiang Tingchen said, "I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Ning Nanxue said.
That night, Jiang Tingchen personally cooked a table full of sumptuous dishes.
He also bought a cake with the words "Congratulations on the successful cooperation" written on it.
"Wow, what a feast!" Ning Nanxue exclaimed as she looked at the table full of dishes. "Senior, you're amazing!"
"I'm glad you like it." Jiang Tingchen said with a smile, "Come and try my cooking."
"Hmm." Ning Nanxue picked up the chopsticks and tasted the dish. "Hmm, delicious! Senior, your cooking skills are getting better and better!"
"As long as you like it." Jiang Tingchen said, "I will cook it for you often in the future."
"Okay." Ning Nanxue said with a smile, "Then I'll be in for a treat."
The two of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"I'm so grateful for having you by my side this time to offer me advice," Ning Nanxue said happily, raising her glass. "If you hadn't been by my side, I don't think I would have been able to handle it so quickly."
"Thank you, Senior." Ning Nanxue said, "I am really lucky to have you by my side."
"Xue'er, you are already very good. I just assisted you. I am the lucky one," Jiang Tingchen said. "Being able to know you is the luckiest thing in my life."
The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
At the same time, Mrs. Xu and Mr. Xu were also discussing cooperation with Ning Nanxue.
"This Ning Nanxue is indeed extraordinary," said Madam Xu. "She is much better than that Xu Zhiru."
"Yes." Mr. Xu nodded. "That Xu Zhiru is just a pretty face, good-looking but useless. She's disturbed everyone at a mere banquet. She's taking such an important occasion too lightly."
"Yes, I don't want her problem to disrupt important moments in our future cooperation," Mrs. Xu said. "Fu Chen panicked when he encountered something. A grown man like him is so indecisive. I'm afraid he can't handle big responsibilities!"
"Forget it, let's not talk about them anymore," Mr. Xu said. "Ning Nanxue is a rising star. It's better to work with her than to hand over the Xu Group to unreliable people. Mr. Fu also made a mistake, letting his descendants raise such a fool!"
"It's not that we didn't give him a chance," Mrs. Xu said, "it's that Fu Chen couldn't grasp this project himself."
"That's right," Mr. Xu said. "I hope this cooperation will help our Xu Group reach a higher level."
