Xu Zhiru stood at the door, looking at Fu Chen's drunken appearance, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a gentle smile.
"Ah Chen, it's me." She said softly, her voice as gentle as a pool of spring water, "Why did you drink so much again? Didn't the doctor say that your stomach is not in good condition and you should drink less?"
The light in Fu Chen's eyes dimmed instantly. He looked at Xu Zhiru and smiled self-deprecatingly, "You're back."
He put down his glass, stumbled over to the sofa and sat down.
Xu Zhiru walked over, sat down beside him, and reached out to rub his temples. "Ah Chen, are you worried about something? Can you tell me about it?"
Fu Chen pushed her hand away, with a hint of impatience in his tone, "I'm fine, don't worry about me."
He closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa, looking as if he wanted to keep strangers away.
Xu Zhiru's hands froze in mid-air, and the smile on her face seemed to fade away.
She took a deep breath, tried to suppress the anger in her heart, and continued gently: "Ah Chen, I know you have been under a lot of pressure recently and there are a lot of things going on in the company, but you also have to take care of your health."
"I know, you don't have to say it." Fu Chen's tone became even more impatient, "I want to be alone for a while."
Xu Zhiru looked at Fu Chen's closed eyes and sneered in her heart.
She knew that the person Fu Chen was thinking of right now must be Ning Nanxue.
She stood up, walked to the balcony door, looked at the dark night outside, and deliberately said: "A Chen, I saw Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen together today."
Fu Chen suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look at her, "What did you say?"
"I went shopping today and saw them shopping together in the supermarket, talking and laughing. They looked very close." Xu Zhiru said while observing Fu Chen's expression, "It seems they even went back to Ning Nanxue's residence together."
Fu Chen's face turned ashen and he clenched his fists tightly.
"They..." He said gritting his teeth, the sound seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Ah Chen, don't be angry." Xu Zhiru hurried over, patted his back gently, and comforted him, "Ning Nanxue has nothing to do with you now, don't be sad for her anymore."
"I'm not sad for her!" Fu Chen roared, "I just... I just..." He said "just" for a long time but didn't know what to say.
He couldn't say that he felt uncomfortable seeing Ning Nanxue with another man, right?
"Ah Chen, don't get excited. Be careful of stomachache." Xu Zhiru's voice became softer. "Let me help you go to bed and rest."
Fu Chen didn't say anything and let Xu Zhiru help him back to the bedroom.
He lay on the bed and closed his eyes, but the image of Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen together kept appearing in his mind.
The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, and his stomach began to ache slightly.
"Ah Chen, do you have a stomachache?" Xu Zhiru asked with concern, "I'll go make you some porridge."
"No need." Fu Chen said, "I'm not hungry."
"How can that be? You drank so much, your stomach must be uncomfortable." Xu Zhiru said, "Wait, I'll be fine soon."
After Xu Zhiru finished speaking, she turned and walked out of the bedroom.
She went to the kitchen, took out some ingredients from the refrigerator, and started cooking porridge.
She was cooking porridge while thinking about her worries, with a smug smile on her face.
After a while, the porridge was ready. Xu Zhiru filled a bowl and brought it to the bedroom.
"Achen, come and drink the porridge." She put the porridge on the bedside table and said softly.
Fu Chen opened his eyes and looked at the bowl of steaming porridge, but he had no appetite at all.
"I'm not hungry, you drink it," he said.
"Ah Chen, just drink some." Xu Zhiru scooped a spoonful of porridge and brought it to Fu Chen's mouth, "This porridge is very nourishing to the stomach."
Fu Chen looked at Xu Zhiru's gentle appearance, his heart softened, and he opened his mouth and took a sip.
The porridge tasted light, with a hint of sweetness, but he found it bland.
"It's not as delicious as Nanxue's." He muttered to himself.
Xu Zhiru's face froze and the spoon in her hand almost fell to the ground.
"A Chen, what did you say?" she asked, suppressing her anger.
"Nothing." Fu Chen came back to his senses and said quickly, "This porridge is delicious."
Xu Zhiru didn't say anything and continued to feed Fu Chen porridge.
She felt like there were millions of ants crawling in her heart, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
She didn't expect that Fu Chen would actually say in front of her that Ning Nanxue's cooking was delicious!
The bowl of porridge was soon finished. Fu Chen lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and seemed to have fallen asleep.
Xu Zhiru looked at his sleeping face, a hint of viciousness flashed in her eyes.
She quietly took out her phone and sent a message to Xu Zhao: "How is the plan going?"
Soon, Xu Zhao replied: "Don't worry, sister, everything is going according to plan. The Fu Group is now a mess, and Fu Chen will soon be left with nothing."
Xu Zhiru looked at the message on her phone screen, a smug smile on her lips. "That's good," she replied. "You should also hurry up and not let Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen get there first."
"I understand, sister." Xu Zhao replied, "You should also be careful and don't let Fu Chen see the flaws."
"Don't worry, he has complete faith in me now." Xu Zhiru said, "But you must be careful and don't get caught."
"I understand, sister." Xu Zhao said, "I will protect myself, don't worry."
Xu Zhiru put down her phone and looked at Fu Chen who was sleeping soundly, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.
The next day, when Fu Chen woke up, Xu Zhiru was no longer around.
He rubbed his temples and felt a splitting headache.
He got up, washed up, and came to the company.
As soon as I walked into the office, Secretary Chen came to greet me, "Mr. Fu, you are finally here. Something big happened in the company!"
"What's going on?" Fu Chen asked with a frown.
"The project in the west of the city was won by Ning Nanxue." Secretary Chen said, "All our previous efforts were in vain."
"What?!" Fu Chen was shocked. "How could this happen? Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on this project?"
"I've been keeping an eye on them, but..." Secretary Chen hesitated, "But if Ning Nanxue and Jiang Tingchen join forces, we're no match for them."
"Jiang Tingchen..." Fu Chen gritted his teeth and said, "It's him again!"
"Mr. Fu, now is not the time to be angry," Secretary Chen said. "We have to find a way to deal with this quickly, otherwise the company will suffer even greater losses."
"I understand." Fu Chen said, "Go and call all the company's senior executives, let's have a meeting."
"Okay." Secretary Chen agreed, turned around and walked out of the office.
Fu Chen sat in the boss chair, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He is now facing an unprecedented crisis. If he cannot handle it properly, the Fu Group may be destroyed in his hands.
