Chapter 144 Keeping it from him
"Why is Mr. Chen here today?"
Fu Shiyue found this very unusual. In the past, when he discussed cooperation with others, they would always arrange to meet beforehand.
This time, he came uninvited.
Chen Yu was dressed in a sharp suit, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, carrying a faint smile.
He glanced at Fu Shiyue and said, "President Fu, I'm very sorry I didn't inform you of my arrival today, but I need to keep track of the progress of the cooperation."
As he spoke, his gaze swept around, as if assessing everything.
At this moment, a staff member quickly stepped forward, took the documents, and began to report on the specific details of the project.
Fu Shiyue crossed his arms and listened quietly to the staff's report, his gaze occasionally falling on Chen Yu, trying to glean some information from his expression.
Chen Yu listened attentively, nodding occasionally and asking a few sharp questions, which made the staff a little nervous.
After the report, Chen Yu looked at Fu Shiyue and said with a smile, "President Fu, this project is progressing quite smoothly so far, but I feel that some details can be further optimized. Why don't we sit down and discuss it again?"
"can."
He led Chen Yu to the company's VIP conference room, where the two sat facing each other.
Chen Yu took a document out of his briefcase and handed it to Fu Shiyue, saying, "This is some preliminary plan for project optimization. Mr. Fu can take a look first."
Yue took the document and began to read it carefully, while Chen Yu placed his hands on the table and looked at him with a firm gaze.
We await his response.
Fu Shiyue frowned more and more as he looked at the plan, as some of the proposals differed significantly from his original ideas.
He raised his head, looked directly into Chen Yu's eyes, and said earnestly, "Mr. Chen, I understand your initial intention to optimize the project, but changes to some of the plans may affect the overall progress and cost of the project."
Chen Yu smiled slightly and replied calmly, "President Fu, I understand your concerns, but in the long run, these changes will make the project more competitive."
He finished reading and closed the plan.
Looking directly at Chen Yu, he said:
"I will consider this follow-up, and my team will not let you down."
Chen Yu picked up his coffee, took a sip, and put the cup down.
"President Chen, do you still have any cooperation with Red Star?" Fu Shiyue suddenly asked.
His expression remained calm, and he answered in a steady tone, "Red Star is collaborating with one of my subsidiaries. We already reached an agreement with their manager some time ago."
Chen Yu's lips curled up in a half-smile as he said, "The person in charge of Red Star is very capable. She acts decisively and has a unique vision. Her insights on the cooperation plan are very novel and hard to refuse." Then he picked up his coffee, took a sip, put it down, and said, "She poached my cooperation from Xie Huaijin before. Otherwise, we would be cooperating with Xinqi and Xie's now. She's really something."
He couldn't help but sigh, "There are many strong women nowadays."
Fu Shiyue's eyes narrowed; he hadn't expected that Chen Yu's subsidiary would also have a collaboration with Red Star.
At this moment, Chen Yu changed the subject, "However, the business world is like a battlefield, and it's not certain who will have the last laugh. President Fu, let's focus on doing the project at hand well first."
"Yes, I will have the team evaluate your proposal as soon as possible and strive to determine the final direction as soon as possible."
The two chatted about the project for a while longer before Chen Yu got up and left.
Watching his departing figure, he fell into deep thought. He knew that he would not only have to deal with the optimization challenges of the project, but also have to be wary of Red Star, a potential competitor.
It seems that the reason why Xie's funds suddenly became tight was because Chen Yu suddenly withdrew his investment and turned to cooperate with that woman, Jiang Jiyue.
Jiang Jiyue must have used some methods to make Chen Yu change his mind so decisively.
When Fu Shiyue recalled the time when he took over the Fu family business, Jiang Jiyue was nothing in his eyes and could not be compared to him at all.
However, the current situation has taken him somewhat by surprise.
He gripped the documents tightly in his hand, as if trying to release all his dissatisfaction and anger in this way.
At the same time, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
The business world is like a battlefield, full of deceit and infighting.
Things in the business world are often unpredictable and hard to foresee.
As night falls, the city lights come on, and the stars twinkle.
Ye Xingran and Fu Shiyue returned together
At the same time, the butler quickly stepped forward and stood respectfully beside Fu Shiyue, saying softly, "Young Master, Miss has arrived. She has been waiting for you in the living room and said she would wait for you to return."
He glanced at Fu Silin and said, "Come with me to the study."
Fu Shiyue, Ye Xingran, and Fu Silin were all in the study.
Fu Shiyue sat upright in his seat, his posture was proper, and he looked somewhat serious.
Ye Xingran stood beside him, while Fu Silin stood in front of the table.
"Brother, I've come to find you..."
"If you have something to say, just say it."
"Brother, is there any news about Xie Huaijin?"
However, Fu Shiyue did not answer her question, but remained silent, and she knew the answer.
Xie Huaijin has really disappeared.
Unexpectedly, it was just a fake marriage.
It has become like this.
Ye Xingran stepped forward and gently patted her shoulder, comforting her, "Silin, don't worry, your brother has already sent people to look for her, don't fret."
Fu Silin's gaze was fixed on Ye Xingran, but the scene of her being kidnapped suddenly flashed through her mind.
At that time, Ye Xingran held a cold gun in his hand, his eyes firm and ruthless, which sent chills down people's spines.
Fu Silin couldn't help but recall the fear and helplessness that surged in her heart at that moment.
She looked at Ye Xingran in front of her. Although she wasn't holding a gun at the moment, the fear she had felt before still lingered.
"What's wrong with you, Silin?" Ye Xingran looked at her with a puzzled expression. Silin seemed to have seen something terrifying. Her body trembled violently, and she quickly took a few steps back, putting some distance between herself and Ye Xingran.
Suddenly, the scene of Fu Shiyue rescuing Fu Silin flashed through her mind...
It's probably because she remembered what she looked like that day that she felt scared.
Fu Silin kept her head down, not daring to meet Ye Xingran's gaze, and unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes with both hands.
“Silin,” Ye Xingran said, trying to ease Silin’s tension, but Silin did not seem to relax because of his words and remained vigilant.
Silence fell over the study...
"I'll have someone send you home first. I know what's going on with him."
Fu Silin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
After Fu Silin left, only Fu Shiyue and Ye Xingran remained in the study.
Ye Xingran looked at Fu Shiyue and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
He frowned. "I don't know." He paused, then added, "I need to carefully consider the optimization plan for Chen Yu's project, and Jiang Jiyue is also a problem."
She knew the truth perfectly well, but she couldn't bring herself to tell Fu Shiyue the truth.
I'm sorry, Fu Shiyue
This is her secret...
Because Fu Shiyue could never know that the Jiang Jiyue standing in front of him was actually Qiao Yi.
Although she couldn't offer Fu Shiyue any real help, she absolutely couldn't let him hurt Joey.
After all, Joey had suffered too much hardship in the past, and now, with her new identity and current status and wealth, she would at least no longer be bullied like before.
She came to her senses
"Don't overwork yourself, I'll always be by your side."
She slightly raised her head to meet his gaze, and saw that the weariness in his eyes seemed to dissipate in an instant.
Fu Shiyue slowly reached out and gently embraced her slender waist, pulling her closer to him. "Be mine."
His tone carried an irresistible domineering quality; this was not a simple request, but an order, leaving no room for negotiation.
Suddenly, a crisp, urgent ringing broke the atmosphere between the two...
He had been gazing at the other person with an indescribable emotion in his eyes, but when the bell rang, his gaze was quickly drawn to it, and he was somewhat annoyed by the sudden interruption.
However, his expression changed immediately when he heard the voice on the other end of the phone.
"President Fu, we have a new lead regarding Jiang Jiyue..." Fu Shiyue's eyes sharpened instantly.
