"I'm worried about you." Xu Zhiru walked over to him and put the thermos on the table. "No matter how busy you are at work, you must take care of your health."
She opened the thermos and a fragrant aroma wafted out. "I made this for you myself, try it," she said.
Fu Chen looked at the food in the thermos, but had no appetite at all.
He thought of the meals Ning Nanxue cooked. Although they were not as exquisite as those cooked by Xu Zhiru, they tasted very good.
"Ah Chen, what's wrong with you?" Xu Zhiru asked with concern when she saw Fu Chen was silent, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine." Fu Chen came back to his senses and said, "I'm not hungry, you can take it back."
"Ah Chen, just eat a little." Xu Zhiru scooped a spoonful of food and put it to Fu Chen's mouth, "Just think of it as doing it for me, okay?"
Fu Chen looked at Xu Zhiru's pitiful appearance, his heart softened, and he opened his mouth and took a bite.
The food tasted ordinary, but he found it hard to swallow. He suddenly found that he actually began to miss Ning Nanxue's cooking.
"Achen, is it delicious?" Xu Zhiru asked expectantly.
"Yeah, it's delicious." Fu Chen said perfunctorily.
A smile appeared on Xu Zhiru's face and she continued to feed Fu Chen.
However, her heart felt like a mixture of all five flavors, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty.
She saw Fu Chen looking at Ning Nanxue's photo just now, and she knew that Fu Chen still had Ning Nanxue in his heart.
She was unwilling to accept this, she was unwilling to lose to Ning Nanxue! She had to snatch Fu Chen back from Ning Nanxue!
"A Chen, are you still thinking about Ning Nanxue?" she asked tentatively.
Fu Chen's body stiffened. He didn't expect Xu Zhiru to ask this. "No," he denied.
"Ah Chen, I just care about you." Xu Zhiru said aggrievedly, "I'm afraid you've been deceived by her."
"Don't mention her anymore when we're together," Fu Chen said, "and don't mention her in front of me anymore."
"Okay, I won't mention it anymore." Xu Zhiru suppressed her anger and said with a frown, "Don't be angry, take care of yourself."
Fu Chen didn't say anything. He closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, looking exhausted.
Xu Zhiru looked at Fu Chen and felt very angry.
The person Fu Chen is thinking about right now must be Ning Nanxue.
She must find a way to make Fu Chen completely forget Ning Nanxue!
"Achen, have you been under a lot of pressure lately?" she asked gently.
"Yeah." Fu Chen responded weakly.
"How about we go out and relax?" Xu Zhiru suggested, "Relax a little."
"I'm not in the mood." Fu Chen refused without thinking.
"Ah Chen, just accompany me." Xu Zhiru said coquettishly, "We haven't gone out to play together for a long time."
Fu Chen opened his eyes and looked at Xu Zhiru, feeling annoyed. "I told you I'm not in the mood, don't you understand?" he said.
Xu Zhiru's face froze. She didn't expect Fu Chen to treat her like this.
"Ah Chen, what's wrong with you?" she asked aggrievedly, "Did I do something wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong with you." Fu Chen said, "I'm sorry, I've been in a bad mood recently. This is my own problem."
"A Chen..." Xu Zhiru wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Fu Chen.
"Okay, you go back first." Fu Chen said, "I want to be alone and quiet."
Xu Zhiru wanted to say something, but seeing Fu Chen's cold expression, she had to swallow her words back.
"Okay then," she said. "Get some rest and call me if you have any questions."
"Yeah." Fu Chen responded and closed his eyes.
Xu Zhiru looked at Fu Chen and felt a sense of loss.
She packed her things silently, then turned and walked out of the office.
Fu Chen heard the sound of the door closing and slowly opened his eyes.
Secretary Chen placed a stack of documents on Ning Nanxue's desk with a solemn expression. "Mr. Ning, please take a look. These are some of the accounts I recently found for the Fu Group."
Ning Nanxue put down her pen and picked up the document, carefully leafing through it. The more she read, the more her brow furrowed. "These accounts... have a lot of problems," she said in a serious tone.
"That's right." Secretary Chen nodded. "I suspect someone inside the Fu Group is falsifying accounts, and the amount is huge."
"It seems that Fu Chen's trouble is bigger than we imagined." Ning Nanxue sneered, "This is really God helping me."
"Mr. Ning, what should we do next?" asked Secretary Chen.
"Don't alert the enemy yet." Ning Nanxue pondered for a moment, "Continue to collect evidence, and when the time is right, we can catch them all in one fell swoop."
On the other side, Jiang Tingchen was entertaining several shareholders of Fu Group in a private room of a high-end restaurant.
"Mr. Jiang, what's the matter with inviting us here this time?" asked a shareholder with a hint of doubt in his tone.
"You are all veterans in the business world. I invited you here this time because I want to discuss a business deal with you." Jiang Tingchen smiled and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Oh? What business?" asked another shareholder with a hint of curiosity in his tone.
"I want to buy the Fu shares held by you all." Jiang Tingchen said straight to the point.
Several shareholders looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect Jiang Tingchen to have such an idea.
"Mr. Jiang, why do you want to buy our shares?" asked a shareholder.
"As you all know, Fu's recent performance hasn't been very good, and its stock price has been falling," Jiang Tingchen said. "If you continue to hold Fu's shares, you'll probably suffer even greater losses."
"Mr. Jiang, what you said makes sense." A shareholder nodded, "But why should we sell our shares to you?"
"I can offer you a price higher than the market price," Jiang Tingchen said. "Furthermore, I can guarantee that after acquiring Fu's, I will do my best to revive the company and ensure that your investment will be rewarded."
Several shareholders exchanged glances with each other, all of them feeling a little moved.
"Mr. Jiang, we still need to consider your proposal." said a shareholder.
"Of course." Jiang Tingchen smiled. "You can take your time to think about it. I'm always waiting for your reply."
In Ning Nanxue's company, she was immersed in her work and had no idea what was happening outside.
"Mr. Ning, you've been working for a long time. Take a break." The assistant came over with a cup of coffee and said softly.
"I'm fine." Ning Nanxue said without looking up, "I still have some documents to deal with."
"Mr. Ning, you should take care of yourself too," the assistant said with some concern. "You've been too tired lately."
"I know." Ning Nanxue said, "I will have a good rest after I finish this busy period."
