Xia Jingshu did not notice Mu Hui, who was standing not too far away from them. She looked at Fu Siye and could not help but say to him, “CEO Fu, to be honest with you, my dad doesn’t want to keep the old neighborhood this time, but I see that you have preserved it in your plan.”
Fu Siye did not have any expression on his face. He only asked, “What does Miss Xia mean?”
There was a hint of displeasure in his tone.
Xia Jingshu quickly replied, “CEO Fu, don’t misunderstand. I just wanted to remind you that you might be eliminated.”
She looked like she was about to reveal a secret to him. Her voice was very soft, and she was about to approach him with her body.
There was no emotion on Fu Siye’s face. The aura around him suddenly turned cold.
Xia Jingshu was scared by his cold gaze and did not dare to move forward. She smiled awkwardly and said, “CEO Fu, it’s not like there’s no room for redemption.”
Fu Siye raised his eyebrows.
Xia Jingshu continued, “I told CEO Fu before that my father intends to hand this project over to his future son-in-law…”
Mu Hui walked over and interrupted her. She put her arm around Fu Siye’s and tiptoed to peck him on the cheek.
“Our CEO Fu is very capable. He wouldn’t rely on such a despicable method to rise to the top.”
Fu Siye revealed a mischievous look and cooperated with her. He held onto her slim waist with his big palm.
“You know my abilities the best.”
Mu Hui was stunned.
Xia Jingshu could not control the jealousy in her eyes. How could an outstanding man like Fu Siye fall for such an unrestrained person like Mu Hui?
She was so angry that her face turned pale, but her rationality still forced her to reveal a decent smile.
“Miss Mu, you’ll make CEO Fu lose his reputation if you do this. Men shouldn’t be tied down by these little love affairs outside their businesses.”
“I’m willing to be tied down by her.”
Fu Siye looked at Mu Hui’s red lips. He did not hide anything.
His deep eyes were a little bewitching.
Xia Jingshu was at a loss for words. When she saw the two of them flaunting their love in front of her, she felt like she had really shot herself in the foot earlier.
However, she was still unwilling to let it go. She wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Mu Hui.
“I heard that Miss Xia took the BIM exam last year, right? Did you get your certificate?”
Mu Hui had a smile on her face, but Xia Jingshu’s eyes were full of ridicule.
When the few people that were passing by them heard their conversation, they snickered.
“This Mu Hui is really not a simple character. She clearly knows that Xia Jingshu has not passed her BIM exam for two years, yet she’s still trying to rub salt into her wound.”
“The mayor’s daughter can’t even get a BIM. It’s really a joke if this gets out.”
Xia Jingshu secretly gasped. How did Mu Hui know about it? She had asked her father to keep it a secret!
“Miss Mu, you don’t have to worry about this. I don’t care if I have that certificate or not,” replied Xia Jingshu. She tried her best to maintain her calm appearance.
Mu Hui replied, “Oh, that’s true. After all, you’re the mayor’s daughter. The mayor is very capable. He can buy you any certificate you want.”
Xia Jingshu finally could not hold it in anymore and retorted, “CEO Fu, are you just going to let her slander me like this?”
Fu Siye’s pupils constricted as he looked directly at Xia Jingshu. He replied, “Miss Xia knows best whether it’s slander or not, don’t you?”
Xia Jingshu felt uneasy and was about to explain when Fu Siye grabbed Mu Hui and strode away, leaving her to feel embarrassed on the spot.
When the two of them returned to the ceremony, they just happened to hear the announcement of the jury.
“Let me convey to everyone that the mayor wants to demolish the old block and turn it into a library.”
This time, the people in the room began to discuss animatedly.
“Did I hear wrong? The old block is not kept and is being turned into a library?”
“Our plan has always been to keep the old block. Isn’t it over now?”
After hearing that, Lu Yichen’s eyes instantly lit up. This time, only he would be able to win the bid!
He glanced at the Fu Corporation team from the corner of his eye and his face was full of arrogance.
“CEO Fu, we’re going to see the real deal soon. Let’s see if you’re nervous.”
Even though Mu Hui was uncertain, she still stood up for Fu Siye.
“Our CEO Fu has seen all kinds of big scenes before, unlike some people who only know how to backstab.”
“When did I backstab?”
Lu Yichen’s mood collapsed instantly.
Mu Hui was calm. She replied, “I didn’t say it was you. Don’t tell me you’re feeling guilty?”
Just as Lu Yichen was about to fight back, the chief judge of the jury stood up and was about to announce the final result when the door suddenly opened.
“Wait a minute.”
