The spectator, a badger, asked, "Are you there?"
...while waiting, about an hour later.
"Yes, I was in a meeting just now."
Huo Jinning stared at the phone screen in her hand, sighing to herself, "Being rich is really not easy! Just like my older brother, he's always busy."
She couldn't help but think of her brother, the man who was always out early and back late, always busy with work.
It seems that wealth and power are always accompanied by endless responsibilities and pressures, and those who possess them have to put in more effort and time.
Huo Jinning was well aware of this, but at the same time, she sincerely admired the challenges they faced.
In this bustling and noisy world, money may bring material satisfaction, but behind it lies countless hardships and exhaustion.
She imagined those rich kids, who, despite their comfortable and carefree lives, might be under pressure and expectations that are hard for ordinary people to understand.
However, it is precisely this spirit of pursuing excellence and continuous progress that enables them to stand at the pinnacle of society and become the focus of everyone's attention.
The bystander, a melon-eating idiot, asked, "Just asking, when are you coming to Beijing?"
"Uncertainty, something's wrong?"
"Eating melons and getting a badger" (typing...)
Huo Jinning gripped her phone tightly, her fingers hesitating on the keyboard.
She repeatedly deleted the text she had already typed and started typing again, but each time she felt it wasn't perfect.
Deep down, she really wanted to tell Fu Qinian about the ring, but she was worried that revealing it in advance would ruin the surprise.
After a fierce internal struggle, she finally decided to remain silent for the time being.
So, Huo Jinning took a deep breath, gently pressed the delete key, cleared all the previous drafts, and reorganized the language.
The bystander chick replied, "It's nothing, I just wanted to invite you to dinner. Let's talk about it when you have time!"
"Hmm."
The bystander said, "Goodbye then."
Goodbye, New Year.
"With your looks, the only reason you never had a girlfriend in your past life was because of that mouth of yours, which is even more dull than a wooden fish." Huo Jinning held her phone alone, muttering to herself.
At this moment, she had long forgotten what she had said before—in fact, someone with Fu Qinian's outstanding appearance would still have quite a few people who would fall for him, including herself...
Every time Huo Jinning looked at the thumb ring, she couldn't help but feel a deep sense of admiration for the craftsmen's exquisite skills.
Meanwhile, in another location, Fu Qinian was sitting at his desk, looking at his phone screen.
When he saw the message from Huo Jinning, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
The tone of this message seems hesitant. Could it be that the other party is really in some kind of trouble and needs my help?
Fu Qinian fell into deep thought.
Just thinking about the phone call his mother made a few days ago gave Fu Qinian a headache.
At that time, his mother asked him about his girlfriend on the phone, which caught him completely off guard.
Actually, he should have realized long ago that, given Grandma Feng's personality, she would definitely tell his mother about it, but he had been too busy lately and forgot about it.
His mother demanded that he bring his girlfriend home so that his family could meet her. Fu Qinian helplessly explained that Huo Jinning was not his girlfriend.
However, his mother clearly did not believe him and even resorted to crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide to insist that he bring his girlfriend home.
This left Fu Qinian feeling helpless.
When Fu Qinian met Huo Jinning for the second time, he keenly sensed that she seemed to be deliberately trying to befriend him, presumably because she wanted something from him.
After all, she had saved his life before, so helping her now would be a fair exchange.
However, a new problem has arisen—his mother insists that he bring his girlfriend home, which means he may have to help Huo Jinning again.
However, since Huo Jinning needs his help, he might as well go along with it and let her pretend to be his girlfriend. This would not only help him deal with his mother's pressure to get married, but also give him the opportunity to get closer to her and find out if there were any other secrets.
Looking back, after successfully obtaining blood samples from my second uncle and Gu Shichu and completing the paternity test, the result was exactly as expected: the two were indeed father and son.
It's truly astonishing how well these two have kept their secrets; they seem to have much more to their schemes.
However, Fu Qinian did not show any emotion and continued to act according to plan, waiting for the right time to deliver a fatal blow to eliminate future troubles.
"Secretary Zhang, come in for a moment." Fu Qinian dialed the company's internal phone.
"Yes, Mr. President."
Zhang Hui quickly put down the documents in his hand, got up, and strode towards the president's office.
We arrived at our destination after walking only a few steps.
He knocked gently on the door, and heard a deep voice respond from inside: "Come in."
Zhang Hui pushed open the door and entered the room.
As soon as he entered, he felt a powerful aura pressing down on him. He was already familiar with this aura, so he did not panic.
"President," Zhang Hui said respectfully.
Fu Qinian nodded slightly and then said, "Please arrange for all my important work from tomorrow to be completed this afternoon, and postpone the less urgent matters by one day."
"Yes, President, please rest assured, I will make the arrangements immediately."
After receiving clear instructions, Zhang Hui turned and left, and began to re-plan the schedule according to Fu Qinian's requirements, and communicated and coordinated with various departments and relevant personnel to ensure that everything could proceed smoothly.
Fu Qinian, on the other hand, continued to focus on the work at hand.
Huo Jinning was completely unaware that someone had quietly launched an investigation into her—this person was none other than Fu Qinian's mother, Wei Qiuwan.
Wei Qiuwan was determined to have this future daughter-in-law.
After all, her own son was too unreliable. If she relied on him alone, the cooked duck might fly away.
Therefore, Wei Qiuwan decided to take matters into her own hands.
She was very satisfied when she saw the survey results.
In her early years, she thought it would be fine as long as the other person was a girl, but as time went by, she found that Fu Qinian didn't seem to have much interest in the opposite sex.
In this way, Wei Qiuwan thought that it wouldn't matter if his future wife was a boy. Anyway, the Fu family was wealthy and could adopt two children, so they could still enjoy family happiness.
However, what worries Wei Qiuwan is that Fu Qinian has never brought anyone home, whether it's a girl or a boy.
Just as she was filled with worry, she suddenly learned from Aunt Feng that Fu Qinian had actually gotten a girlfriend!
At this point, Wei Qiuwan could no longer sit still and immediately ordered people to investigate the situation thoroughly.
Surprisingly, after some investigation, it was discovered that this girl named Huo Jinning was not only outstanding in appearance, but also came from a very distinguished family background.
At this moment, Wei Qiuwan could no longer contain her excitement and quietly arrived in Beijing without Fu Qinian and Huo Jinning's knowledge.
