Fu Chen was silent for a moment: "Zhi Ru, you should understand that now is not the time to think about these things. The Fu Group is facing unprecedented challenges, and I must concentrate on it."
Xu Zhiru bit her lower lip: "I've waited so long just to be with you. Now Nanxue has someone to accompany her, and I..."
"Nan Xue and Jiang Tingchen's affairs have nothing to do with me." Fu Chen said in a cold tone, "I only care about the future of the Fu family now."
"What about me?" Xu Zhiru suddenly became excited. "Am I not important? Ah Chen, I even suffered from depression because of you, and you treat me like this?"
Fu Chen looked at her with a complicated expression: "Zhi Ru, I have never forgotten my responsibility to you. But the company's affairs must be resolved, otherwise how can we have a stable future?"
Xu Zhiru was silent for a long time, then suddenly changed the subject: "Azhao has been acting strangely lately."
"Strange?" Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.
"Look at what happened with Qingyun Technology last time. He promised it would be foolproof, but what happened?" Xu Zhiru whispered. She felt like Fu Chen was acting like a robot, disregarding everything else in his quest to take back the company. "I'm worried he'll affect your plans... and our future."
Xu Zhao just walked into the living room and heard what his sister said. He sneered, "Sister, are you saying bad things about me behind my back again?"
"Azhao!" Xu Zhiru was startled. "I'm just worried..."
"What are you worried about?" Xu Zhao walked up to Fu Chen and said, "Mr. Fu, cooperation is a two-way street. Qingyun Technology has done its best. As for Martin's plan, we'll know the outcome when the time comes."
Fu Chen stared at Xu Zhao: "I hope you understand that I don't have much patience."
"Business is like a battlefield; there's no room for haste," Xu Zhao said calmly. "Don't forget, our goals are the same."
"Really?" Fu Chen sneered, "Sometimes I really wonder who you are working for."
"Ah Chen!" Xu Zhiru hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Why would Ah Zhao harm you? He's doing this for our own good."
Xu Zhao glanced at his sister and said, "Sister, don't worry about these things. Take good care of yourself and prepare for marriage. That's the real thing."
"I..." Xu Zhiru was speechless.
"Zhiru, you should rest first." Fu Chen stood up. "Xu Zhao and I still have something to discuss."
Xu Zhiru hesitated for a moment and had to leave.
After Xu Zhiru left, Fu Chen looked at Xu Zhao coldly: "You'd better not let me down."
"Don't worry, Mr. Fu," Xu Zhao chuckled. "I never do anything unprepared. As for my sister, please bear with me. Women, after all, tend to let their imaginations run wild."
Fu Chen didn't respond and turned to walk towards the study. Xu Zhao looked at his back and smiled meaningfully.
Xu Zhiru stood at the bedroom door, listening to the conversation between the two, a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes.
Ning Nanxue's office at the Fu Group headquarters.
"Tingchen, there's movement at Qingyun Technology." Ning Nanxue pushed the door open and walked in with a document in her hand.
Jiang Tingchen put down his coffee, took the document and quickly glanced at it: "Have they started to act?"
"Well, the technical department discovered that someone was trying to hack into the system." Ning Nanxue sat down opposite him, "But we have already taken precautions in advance."
Jiang Tingchen chuckled: "It seems they are anxious."
"Have you prepared the evidence you mentioned before?" Ning Nanxue asked.
"It's all here." Jiang Tingchen turned on his computer and pulled out an encrypted file. "Qingyun Technology's financial transaction records, cooperation agreements with other companies, and the channels through which they spread rumors."
Ning Nanxue leaned closer to the screen: "This is enough to make them pay for it."
"I've contacted my friends at the regulatory authorities," Jiang Tingchen said. "They take this matter very seriously."
"What about the media?"
"Everything has been arranged." Jiang Tingchen held her hand. "Tomorrow morning, all major media outlets will report on this matter."
Ning Nanxue leaned on his shoulder: "Tingchen, thank you."
"When an enemy comes, we will fight him; when a flood comes, we will block it with earth." Jiang Tingchen said calmly, "No matter what tricks he has up his sleeve, we can handle them."
The next day, major media outlets reported on Qingyun Technology's unfair competition practices. Regulators quickly launched an investigation, sending Qingyun Technology's stock price plummeting.
Fu Group conference room.
"Mr. Ning, the stock price has started to rise." Li Mengyao pushed the door open with a happy look on her face.
Ning Nanxue nodded: "Continue to pay attention to the market reaction."
"Qingyun Technology is in disarray," Li Mengyao said. "Their CEO is holding an emergency meeting."
Jiang Tingchen walked in: "Regulatory authorities have frozen some of their assets."
"What's Fu Chen's reaction?" Ning Nanxue asked.
"Nothing's happening yet," Jiang Tingchen said, "but Xu Zhao seems very anxious."
Ning Nanxue sneered: "Do they think they can defeat the Fu family like this?"
"Sometimes taking a step back can lead to two steps forward." Jiang Tingchen said meaningfully.
At the same time, at the Fu family villa.
"Achen, what should we do now?" Xu Zhiru asked anxiously.
Fu Chen stood in front of the window and thought for a long time before slowly speaking: "Qingyun Technology is no longer useful."
"Then our plan..."
"The plan needs to be adjusted." Fu Chen turned around, "Xu Zhao, contact Martin."
Xu Zhao nodded: "I'll do it right away."
In the evening, after resolving the company's troubles, Ning Nanxue took Jiang Tingchen's arm and the two strolled along the path by the lake.
"Tingchen, thank you for your hard work during this period." Ning Nanxue said softly.
Jiang Tingchen held her hand tightly: "Xue'er, I am very happy to be with you."
"But..." Ning Nanxue hesitated, "You gave up everything in Huayun for me."
"That's not important." Jiang Tingchen stopped and turned to face her. "What's important is that we can finally be together openly."
Ning Nanxue leaned against his chest: "Once we deal with Fu Chen, we will..."
"I'll take you home." Jiang Tingchen interrupted her, "To meet my family."
"Will they accept me?" Ning Nanxue was a little worried.
"Believe me." Jiang Tingchen stroked her hair gently, "I will make them understand that you are the only person I want to marry in this life."
Ning Nanxue looked up at him: "Tingchen, you are always like this, making me feel..."
"What do you think?"
"I feel like I'm not worthy of your kindness."
Jiang Tingchen chuckled: "Silly boy, I'm not worthy of your strength. You've endured too much alone over the years."
"Now that I have you, I'm not afraid of anything." Ning Nanxue leaned in his arms, "Let's face Fu Chen and Martin together."
"Yeah." Jiang Tingchen tightened his arms. "I've already sent someone to investigate Martin's background. He's been so successful abroad, so he must be up to something shady."
Jiang Tingchen lowered his head and kissed her gently on the forehead: "Xue'er, when this is over, we will get married."
"Okay." Ning Nanxue closed her eyes, "I'll wait for you."
