Chapter 77 Male companion?
As night falls, Haicheng Central Business District gradually becomes bustling.
Bright lights surround a British-style building, with a dark grey sloping roof, red bricks and white windows. A long red carpet extends to the entrance of the lobby, with guards in neat knight uniforms standing on both sides, creating a sense of luxury yet simplicity and dignity.
The streets were full of pedestrians, and from time to time someone would hold up their cell phones to take photos and check in in front of the building.
At the entrance of the building, many media with cameras were waiting for something.
Luxury cars pulled up and drove away, and many business leaders who had only been seen in financial news got out of the cars.
It is called a charity dinner, but in fact it is just a Vanity Fair in disguise.
The low-profile black business Mercedes-Benz parked outside the clubhouse quickly attracted the attention of many people in front.
Fu Yian’s car was easy to spot, and many people who had already entered the club turned back to look.
Fu Yian is too dazzling.
Just the title of the head of the Fu family is enough to attract countless people who shamelessly want to get in.
Many media recognized Mr. Fu's usual car and pointed their cameras at the rear door.
Fu Yian pushed open the car door. He was wearing a sober black suit with a white shirt underneath. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a cold face, and a reserved temperament.
The surrounding flash lights suddenly exploded, and everyone wanted to record Mr. Fu's every move.
Many media outlets were not qualified to enter the club and could only rely on this limited time to record quickly.
Just when they thought Fu Yi'an would quickly enter the lobby as usual, Fu Yi'an stood by the car and did not leave.
The media's eyes widened immediately, and they looked at each other, with a bold guess in their hearts.
Mr. Fu, who always keeps to himself, could it be possible that he brought a female companion this time! ?
Then why didn't Mr. Fu be a gentleman and open the door for his partner?
They pointed their cameras at the car windows, trying to capture the scene inside the car.
Fu Yian waited for three seconds, and seeing that Yu Cheng didn't move, he clenched his fists, endured the veins on his forehead, walked to the other side of the car, and personally opened the door for Yu Cheng.
Don't be angry. Yu Cheng's bad temper is just his own habit.
He endured it.
Fu Yian convinced himself in his heart.
The media, who were a little hesitant just now, quickly pointed their cameras towards that side when they saw Fu Yi'an walking towards the other side of the car door.
Which socialite could be picked up by President Fu himself?
The car door opened and a pair of black leather shoes stepped out.
Many media: "?"
Male?
A man in a black shirt stepped out of the car with long, slender legs.
There was a gentle smile on his handsome face, and his eyes were fixed on Fu Yian.
"Thank you, brother."
Fu Yian glanced at him and walked into the venue.
Many media were stunned for a moment. Although many people didn't know who the man who suddenly appeared next to Mr. Fu was, out of professionalism, they quickly pressed the shutter and took a picture of the two walking side by side.
Once you enter the venue, the glaring flash lights are much less.
They arrived late, and there were already many people in the venue toasting and chatting.
Fu Yian's appearance caused a moment of commotion in the venue, and soon someone walked up to him and greeted him.
"Mr. Fu, good evening."
The visitor was an investor who had worked with the Fu family on some projects. Fu Yian had some impression of him and nodded as a greeting.
Once one person took the initiative, more people soon came around to say hello.
Before the dinner started, a group of people had already gathered around Fu Yian.
Fu Yi'an's expression was as cold as usual and he seldom spoke, but the people around him did not mind his coldness at all. They all took the initiative to bring up topics, and the atmosphere was warm.
Their eyes also fell on Yu Cheng beside Fu Yian, and they were all curious in their hearts.
Yu Cheng's presence is not strong. Even though he is handsome and has an intimidating aura, when he stands next to Fu Yian, people will only notice Fu Yian at first sight.
"Yi An is here too."
A hearty laugh was heard, and the people around Fu Yian spontaneously made way for the newcomer.
Jiang Mingzhi held his wife's hand, followed by his daughter, and walked up to Fu Yian and extended his hand to him.
Fu Yian politely shook hands back.
"Mr. Jiang, long time no see."
The two men touched hands and then separated. However, Yu Cheng, who was standing aside, had a distorted look in his eyes for a moment.
Jiang Mingzhi is nearly fifty years old, has an elegant appearance, a smile on his face, and seems very easy-going.
The Jiang family is also one of the most powerful families in Haicheng. Although it cannot compare with the century-old Fu family, it also made its fortune in real estate by taking advantage of the economic boom at that time.
But the Jiang family is different from the Fu family. Mr. Fu has a broader vision. At that time, the Fu family already had a lot of capital, and he did not stick to the lucrative real estate at the time. He transformed himself in advance and made a lot of research and investment in the Internet, developing the Fu family into a diversified group when there were most opportunities.
The real estate industry has been in a downturn in recent years. Although the Jiang family has been actively transforming itself, it is still slightly declining and it will take some time.
Mr. Jiang and Mr. Fu were both enemies and friends, and they had a good relationship. However, since Mr. Fu went to the capital, the relationship between the two families has obviously become much weaker.
Jiang Mingzhi has been in contact with the Fu family over the years, but Fu Yi'an is too cold and seems to be uninterested in anything, so the results are minimal.
The people who originally surrounded Fu Yian soon became interested and dispersed.
Who among those present didn't know that Jiang Mingzhi came to see President Fu as soon as he arrived?
Isn't it just because you see that Mr. Fu is single and want to test him out?
Although the Jiang family is not as powerful as before, they are still prominent enough among them, and no one dares to delay Jiang Mingzhi.
Fu Yian didn't think too much about it and just greeted the elders in the business circle politely.
He had never been with Jiang Youyun, and he was not prepared to take any responsibility for what the elders of the previous generation said.
Jiang Mingzhi had a son and a daughter, but his son was not capable of inheriting the family business.
In the original plot, Jiang Mingzhi's daughter Jiang Youyun became the protagonist's harem, and the power of the Jiang family naturally fell into the hands of the protagonist.
Fu Yian inadvertently glanced at Jiang Youyun who was standing next to Jiang Mingzhi. She was bright and generous, just like the exquisite beauty described in the plot.
His gaze was short-sighted, and no one noticed except Yu Cheng who had been standing next to him.
Yu Cheng lowered his eyes, the smile on his lips gradually faded, and his long eyelashes hid the distortion in his eyes.
Woman, woman.
Why does my brother always pay attention to all kinds of women!
Fu Yian noticed the change in Yu Cheng's breath and turned to look at him.
Yu Cheng lowered his head, obviously not looking at Jiang Youyun, and it seemed like he was angry about something again.
Forget it. The plot has gone so distorted, and he doesn’t expect Yu Cheng to suddenly become straight one day.
He just hoped that Yu Cheng would be less interested in him.
It would be great to be able to go back to the way things were.
A flash of loneliness passed through Fu Yian's eyes.
Jiang Mingzhi talked to Fu Yian warmly about two recent fund failures in the international financial market, and he sighed: "I never thought that so many people would be optimistic about the project and it would fail."
Fu Yian said in a cold voice, "The return on private equity funds is too high. Even if you know there are pitfalls, it is difficult to control and exit in time."
Jiang Mingzhi smiled and looked at Yu Cheng, "I heard that Mr. C also invested in that project. What does Mr. Yu think?"
Fu Yian turned his head to look at Yu Cheng. How come he didn’t know that Yu Cheng had also fallen into such an obvious trap?
Yu Chengyang smiled.
"Although the risk is a bit high, but like my brother said, as long as you find the right opportunity and stop in time, you will not lose out."
Yu Cheng looked at Jiang Mingzhi and curled his lips: "If you are greedy and hold on to it, you will naturally burn yourself."
"Mr. Jiang must understand these principles better than a junior like me."
Jiang Mingzhi originally wanted to talk to the young man Yu Cheng for Fu Yian's sake, but he didn't expect to be choked by Yu Cheng.
He looked at this young man whom he had never paid close attention to, and met Yu Cheng's calm black eyes. He felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if Yu Cheng was hiding something. However, he quickly dismissed his messy thoughts, smiled and praised Yu Cheng for his knowledge.
Fu Yian stood aside and did not stop Yu Cheng from saying such sharp words. Instead, there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
He naturally knew that Jiang Mingzhi had no intention of making things difficult for Yu Cheng, but since he could ask such an obvious question, he probably didn't take Yu Cheng seriously.
Even though he knew rationally that a high-ranking CEO would not be able to look upon all the younger generations with a clear conscience, Fu Yian still felt disillusioned.
Just then, music started playing in the hall. He said goodbye to Jiang Mingzhi and took Yu Cheng to his seat.
