Chapter 17 The marriage partner is Han Xi
Fang Li took two steps over, sat down on Xu Fangye's bed with her legs bent, and looked at him seriously, "Have you found a company that can help our family overcome this difficult time?"
"..." Xu Fangye was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "It's a pity that the investment amount is too large, and there is no guarantee that the cooperation agreement alone will be relied upon... The other party has been unwilling to finalize it."
Fang Li understood.
"We need a marriage, right?"
Xu Fangye was stunned, as if he didn't expect her to say this on her own initiative.
His eyes flickered but he didn't say anything.
Fang Li understood: "I can."
Xu Fangye looked up at her and immediately frowned: "Impossible, I don't agree! What's the point of sacrificing your happiness to save the company?"
After hearing these words, Fang Li felt a surge of pain in her heart and her eyes became moist.
In fact, her brother was quite nice to her. Apart from stealing her delicious food, using her things to please girls, framing her when he made mistakes, and reporting her bad deeds to her parents... well, he was pretty good.
Ever since his father ran away with his mother, he has been managing the company alone all these years, and it is indeed hard work.
Fang Li: "The company is Grandpa's hard work. As long as we can keep the Xu family, the marriage is nothing. Besides, who said that marriages can't be happy?"
"But... don't you like Song..."
"Brother! Don't you know the most about him and me? It's impossible for us to be together."
Xu Fangye was silent.
After a moment, he raised his head, his face hesitant: "Well, let's go meet him? If you really don't like him after meeting him, we can refuse him and I'll find another way!"
Fang Li smiled lightly: "Okay."
-
People say that life is like a play, but Fang Li thinks that life is even more exciting than a play.
A few days ago, she would never have imagined that one day she would break up with Song Yuchen, and she was the one who initiated the breakup. And less than a week after the breakup, she would go on a blind date with another man.
Fang Li and the other party made an appointment to meet at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the meeting place was a famous Western restaurant in Haicheng.
The location was chosen by Xu Fangye.
In order to leave a good impression on the other party, Fang Li took great pains to dress up.
With her fresh makeup, cloisonné French dress, and waist-length curly hair draped over her shoulders, she looks like a lady from upper-class society.
When Fang Li arrived, there were almost no people in the restaurant.
She found a random seat and sat down. After waiting for a few minutes, another person finally came into the restaurant.
The other person was wearing a neatly ironed custom-made suit. From his face to his figure, he was impeccably perfect. Especially his eyes were so calm and without any ripples that anyone he looked at could not help but be deeply attracted to him.
The other party walked towards Fang Li, his voice as mellow as always: "Sorry, Miss Xu, my flight was delayed and I'm late."
Fang Li was still sitting in the chair in a daze until the man stopped in front of him.
After a long while, she finally came back to her senses, with shock lingering in her eyes: "Why is it you?!"
Han Xi sat down opposite her and looked at her: "Ms. Xu, are you surprised? Didn't Mr. Xu tell you?"
Fang Li shook her head.
Then he frowned again: "So the partner he mentioned is you? The person I went on a blind date with is you? You and he don't have a good relationship? A cooperation agreement still needs the blessing of marriage?"
Han Xi's expression froze after being bombarded by her string of questions. After a moment, he smiled faintly, "Ms. Xu, I'm a businessman."
Fang Li: “…”
"Besides, my relationship with Mr. Xu..." He paused, as if thinking, "isn't as good as you think. No matter how much you owe in the ways of the world, you will always have to pay it back one day."
"The problems that Xu Corporation has encountered this time are not minor. According to Mr. Xu, several of Xu Corporation's key projects have been put on hold. Although I am willing to help Mr. Xu overcome the difficulties, I still need to give an explanation to the Han Corporation's shareholders."
Han Xi's voice was steady. "I understand Ms. Xu's feelings. If you have any concerns, I respect your decision. As a friend... I will personally lend Mr. Xu 300 million yuan for temporary working capital."
"That's not what I meant!"
Fang Li didn't expect Han Xi to say that, and suddenly felt that her initial words were a bit too much.
Why would she feel that someone was taking advantage of her misfortune?
When they were in Hangzhou, they did say it at the beginning, but they kept helping Xu Fangye because they owed him some favors.
Now that the Xu family is in crisis, how could anyone help them for no reason with such a huge hole?
He was right. He was a businessman and he still had Han’s shareholders to answer to.
She smiled sheepishly: "Sorry, it's my problem."
"It's okay." Han Xi curled his lips. "When Mr. Xu first mentioned the marriage to me, I told him that you might not agree. I didn't expect him to tell you anyway."
"I don't disagree." Fang Li responded quickly.
When she met the man's gaze, she instantly forgot how to continue.
She bit her lip in annoyance.
Originally, she agreed to the marriage with Xu Fangye in order to protect the Xu family. She should look relaxed on the surface, but she was ultimately rejecting this idea in her heart.
She thought that as long as the person who came today was not so unacceptable, she would endure it even if it was for Xu's sake.
But I didn't expect that the person who came was Han Xi.
For some reason, she felt inexplicably relieved the moment she saw Han Xi.
She couldn't think of the reason, but she knew that if the marriage partner was him, she would not be opposed to it.
Besides, given Xu's current situation, she has no right to refuse.
"Your willingness to help the Xu family when they are in crisis is already a great help. I know that the Han family needs a suitable excuse to inject capital, and marriage is indeed the best way."
Fang Li took a deep breath, looked at him and said, "I agree."
This time, it was Han Xi's turn to remain silent.
He looked at her for a long moment and said, "Are you sure you don't need to..."
"Need not!"
Seeing him frown, Fang Li thought he was going to go back on his word and said hurriedly, "I agree to the marriage. I hope Mr. Han will keep his word and help the Xu family overcome their difficulties as soon as possible."
Fang Liqing's eyes were moist, full of determination and a hint of nervousness.
Han Xi looked at her quietly, his eyes showing a complex and difficult-to-understand emotion. After a long while, he lowered his eyes, curled his lips slightly and said, "Okay."
Fang Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After returning home, Fang Li went straight to Xu Fangye's room on the second floor.
Xu Fangye was standing by the window making a phone call. Fang Li pushed the door open and started barging questions.
"Xu Fangye! Why didn't you tell me that the marriage partner was Han Xi!"
"She's back. I won't tell you for now."
Xu Fangye hung up the phone in a hurry, turned around and looked at Fang Li in a feigned anger: "When will you learn to knock before entering my room?"
Fang Li was suspicious: "Who are you talking to on the phone? What does it mean that she's back? I know the person on the other end of the phone."
