Fu Jinchen and Chu Liang walked silently for a few kilometers before they finally saw an empty taxi.
Chu Liang immediately raised his hand and called for a taxi. He gestured Fu Jinchen to invite him in. Without even looking at Chu Liang, he sat down in the back seat.
Chu Liang helped him close the door and sat in the front passenger seat. After going through a variety of ways, they finally got back to the apartment.
The next day, Fu Jinchen appeared at the company's office and met Yang Duoduo again. When he thought of how he lost his composure in front of her yesterday, Fu Jinchen felt a little unhappy.
"Why are you here?"
A sweet smile appeared on Yang Duoduo's face as she looked at Fu Jinchen. "In order to make your stomach feel better, I specially made some soup for you. Drink it while it's still hot."
Fu Jinchen cast a glance at the thermos barrel on the table, and a mocking smile appeared on his face as he replied, "No need, take it away."
Yang Duoduo's body stiffened for a moment. She turned to Chu Liang and said in a low voice, "Cool down, I'll leave it to you."
"Hmm?" Chu Liang froze for a moment. Fu Jinchen glanced at Yang Duoduo and said, "If you continue to randomly appear in the CEO's office without any sense of propriety, I will make you disappear from Fu Yi Group."
Yang Duoduo stared at Fu Jinchen in shock. She slowly lowered her head and said softly, "I just … thought that we were already very familiar with each other. That's why …"
Fu Jinchen glanced at Chu Liang and gestured, "You can send your friend off."
Chu Liang nodded his head and walked towards Yang Duoduo, whispering, "Duo Duo, let's go."
When Yang Duoduo heard this, she glared at Chu Liang, seemingly dissatisfied in her heart. She turned around and left the office.
"Knock." Suddenly, someone knocked on the office door. Fu Jinchen raised his head and said, "Come in."
Roger came in with a folder and placed it on the desk, "Director Fu, you need to go on a business trip tomorrow."
Fu Jinchen frowned, puzzled. "Why?" He remembered that his itinerary did not have a field schedule.
Roger coughed dryly and said, "Yes …" "It was arranged by General Manager Fu Yang."
Fu Jinchen's expression turned serious. He picked up the folder and looked at it carefully. Roger said, "He said that you haven't signed the real estate contract for a long time. Why don't you go meet the chairman of the Heaven's Will Group yourself?"
"So it's like that." Fu Jinchen slowly closed the folder. He rubbed his chin and thought for a while before replying, "Then go."
Roger immediately revealed a worried expression as he looked at Fu Jinchen, "Are you sure? I always felt that this trip was not as simple as it seemed. "
Fu Jinchen looked at Roger and smiled, "Fu Yang and I need to start a war."
The next day, Chu Liang followed Fu Jinchen's group to C City. In order to show their welcome to Fu Yi Group, the Heaven's Will Group lined up to welcome them at the airport.
A middle-aged man in a black suit walked over with a smile. He said to Fu Jinchen with a smile, "I've long heard that CEO Fu is an outstanding man. He's truly extraordinary today."
Fu Jinchen returned a polite smile and extended his hand. "Hello, I'm Fu Jinchen."
"Zhao Tianyi, Zhao Tianyi." Zhao Tianyi immediately shook hands with Fu Jinchen and then glanced at Chu Liang, "Leave it to me."
Chu Liang cast an inquiring glance at Fu Jinchen. Fu Jinchen raised his eyes slightly, acquiescing to this matter.
Chu Liang silently took a step back and handed the wheelchair to Zhao Tianyi.
Zhao Tianyi pushed Fu Jinchen out of the airport and into the car. Just as he was about to close the door, he made a gesture with his hand.
"Director Fu, do you have any other questions?" Zhao Tianyi asked with a smile. Fu Jinchen looked around before pointing at Chu Liang,
"I need to take her."
Zhao Tianyi raised his head to look at Chu Liang, who nodded at him. Then, he turned his head to Fu Jinchen and asked with a half-joking tone,
"Does Director Fu not believe us?"
"No." Fu Jinchen looked at Zhao Tianyi with a slight smirk on his face, "I'm just somewhat reliant on her. Only by being by her side can I be at ease with her around me."
Chu Liang didn't even blink as he listened to Fu Jinchen's words. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was lying or speaking from the bottom of his heart.
Zhao Tianyi instantly revealed an understanding smile. He nodded his head and gestured an invitation to Chu Liang, "Then young miss, you can come along as well."
Chu Liang nodded and got on the carriage to sit beside Fu Jinchen.
The car gradually drove towards the hotel. When they arrived at the hotel, Zhao Tianyi arranged for people to deliver their luggage to the room and then looked at Fu Jinchen.
"Director Fu has been running in vain. Let's rest first. There will be a banquet at the hotel tonight. I hope that you can come and eat."
Fu Jinchen nodded slightly and smiled at him.
Soon, it was time for the banquet. Fu Jinchen stepped into the private room, and when the door was opened, everyone shut their mouths.
Fu Jinchen surveyed the room. Other than the few upper echelons that he already knew, there were still a few women.
"Boss Fu, you're here! Come sit!" Zhao Tianyi immediately stood up and warmly greeted Fu Jinchen.
Chu Liang pushed Fu Jinchen to the seat of honor and stood behind him.
However, Zhao Tianyi did not sit down. He picked up the wine cup on the table and chuckled, "Come, in order to welcome our Boss Fu, we raise our glasses together."
Everyone raised their wineglasses and looked at Fu Jinchen.
Fu Jinchen remained indifferent, but Zhao Tianyi immediately felt embarrassed. He coughed dryly, "Director Fu might not be that good at drinking."
"Director Zhao, you've troubled yourself." Fu Jinchen chuckled, "I should have stood up to toast everyone. You all know that my situation is a little special."
Fu Jinchen paused for a moment before nodding his head in understanding, "No need, no need. We wholeheartedly appreciate your kind intentions."
Fu Jinchen glanced at his wine cup and chuckled before gulping it down in one gulp.
Zhao Tianyi was a little surprised after he saw Fu Jinchen finish the wine in one gulp. He then turned to the higher-ups and advised, "Let's drink too, Boss Fu."
Everyone raised their glasses and downed the wine in it.
Chu Liang, who was standing behind Fu Jinchen, suddenly understood how lonely Fu Jinchen was after witnessing their exchange of pleasantries.
The road to becoming king must not be so easy.
Chu Liang quietly left for the washroom. When he came out, he heard the conversation of others.
"That Fu Jinchen really thinks of himself as a character?"
"He's only Fu Yang's chess piece, so he's quite arrogant."
"Director Zhao even arranged a romance for him. Looking at his appearance, he doesn't seem to be humane …"
"Hahahaha!"
The man's mocking laughter was undisguised, but Chu Liang silently clenched his fists and took a deep breath.
When Chu Liang calmed down, he suddenly realized something.
She actually started to care about Fu Jinchen!
