Chapter 106
Qi Yu instinctively denied it, “No…”
Xu Jing pointed to that part of his neck and teased him, “Then where did this come from?”
Qi Yu panicked in his heart and subconsciously raised his hand to cover his neck.
Xu Jing was all too familiar with his nervous appearance and said with an amused smile. “Okay, you’re all grown up now. There’s no need to be embarrassed if you have such needs. But when you look for someone, you’ve got to be careful. Health and safety first.” After having said that, he waved at him and said, “I’m going back to the office. I’ll call you later about HZ Technology.”
It took several seconds after he left for Qi Yu to react. Wait a minute, could it be that Xu Jing misunderstood? Did he think that he’d found himself some escort service to solve his needs! ?
Qi Yu: “…”
……
On the way back, Qi Yu used the front camera of his mobile phone to look at his neck again. He said to Wang Meng who was in the driver’s seat, “Wang Meng, later, please buy me a pack of band-aids at the convenience store,”
Wang Meng: “Mr. Qi, are you wounded?”
Qi Yu: “No, they’re just for emergency use…”
Back in the hotel room that evening, Fu Yansheng had yet to come back. Qi Yu sat in the room and reflected on the dispute between himself and Xu Jing over lunch.
At this time, he could clearly feel the difference between Xu Jing and Fu Yansheng. He and also understood why between Xu Jing who was his friend and brother who’d accompanied him for seven years already, and Fu Yansheng, it was Fu Yansheng’s charms that he found unable to resist…
As he thought about it, Qi Yu’s eyes drifted towards his and Fu Yansheng’s suitcases — Because none of their acquaintances were staying with them in the hotel this time, Fu Yansheng had simply put all his luggage in Qi Yu’s room. The other room that they reserved was basically there for nominal purposes only.
Qi Yu thought of something. He suddenly got up and walked towards the suitcase. He crouched down and after a couple seconds hesitation, pulled open the zipper.
The inside of the suitcase was neat and tidy, completely in line with Fu Yansheng’s meticulous style; changes of clothes, towels, razors, men’s perfume, condoms… However, they are all the usual items.
Qi Yu had never looked at other people’s personal belongings before. Although he and Fu Yansheng were already a couple, they still respected each other’s privacy in some respects.
After only looked it over for a while, Qi Yu closed the suitcase again. He felt a burst of self-reproach in her heart.
He himself didn’t what was wrong with him? Was he so worried about personal gains and losses, that he would stoop to doing something so improper?
Maybe he had already had a vague inkling since a long time ago and he wanted to be verify it as soon as possible. But at the same time, he was unwilling to accept that Fu Yansheng would have come to him… for some other purpose.
When Fu Yansheng returned, Qi Yu had already gotten his emotions under control.
When Fu Yansheng asked about his meeting with Xu Jing, Qi Yu frankly recounted it to him. He even told Fu Yansheng what Xu Jing had persuaded him to do and asked him what he thought about it.
Fu Yansheng said objectively, “To be honest, most people who’ve been in this industry for a long time would think the same as Xu Jing.”
Qi Yu: “Why?”
Fu Yansheng: “For the benefits. Although a talent like Su Jing is hard to come by, he is, after all, not one in a million. Therefore, they would rather give up this person and find some other technical employee with a more spotless backgrounds, rather than face the risk.”
Qi Yu: “So you think I’m taking a risk by doing this?”

Qi Yu suddenly remembered that he once asked Fu Yansheng, “Is having a true temperament a bad thing?” Fu Yansheng said, “It’s very good but you’ll find that there’ll be a lot to pay to maintain your true temperament.”
He now somewhat understood what that sentence meant.
Looking at this man, Qi Yu always felt that every moment he spent with Fu Yansheng, made him love the other a little more. Even those suspicions could not prevent him from being deeply attracted to him.
Fu Yansheng leaned over to kiss him and whispered softly, “What’s the matter, looking at me like that?”
Qi Yu narrowed his eyes and kissed back. “It’s nothing…”
***
The two celebrated New Year’s Day in China and for the next few days, they continued to negotiate with the other acquisition targets of the Technology Development Department. On the third day after New Year’s, Yu Lian also took the initiative to contact Ye Qinru and she continued to negotiate the price with them. .
In mid-January, Qi Yu returned to Pascal City to register for the start of school. On the plane, he asked Fu Yansheng, “How many days of vacation do you want for Lunar New Year?”
Fu Yansheng: “Counting the roundtrip journey, five days.”
Qi Yu reminded him, “The Lunar New Year is coming early this year, you should remember to book your flight earlier.”
Lunar New Year’s Eve was at the end of January. The two only stayed in Pascal City for a week before Fu Yansheng had to fly back to Haicheng.
Qi Yu called his father in advance to confirm that they were still spending the Spring Festival at Uncle Meng’s house this year and then on Lunar New Year’s Eve, he flew back to Newtown.
After father and son met, they spent some time at home, catching up on the trivial matters that had happened these past few months. Among the topics they talked about was the work of the Si Yuan Group’s Technology Development Department and their own respective current situations.
Qi Yu explained to Qi Yuancheng everything he had experienced during his trip back to China this Christmas.
When Qi Yuancheng heard that he wanted Su Jing to come join the Si Yuan Group, he raised the same doubts that Xu Jing had. “Do you think this person can be trusted?”
Qi Yu: “For the time being, yes. But we have to interact slowly. If we can completely win this person over and match his abilities with enough resources, the group’s technology company’s development will go much better. Moreover, I have analyzed it with Teacher Fu and we’ve concluded that more than a management role, Su Jing is more suitable for purely technical one. Moreover, the nature of our group’s Technology Development Department is different from that of Zhongda’s. Zhongda develops smart products, while we currently only operate a customer exchange platform. Even if my trust in him proves to have been misplaced, Su Jing’s future betrayal won’t cause us as much loss as it did Zhongda… Of course, if dad also feels that using this person is very risky to the group, I could reconsider this decision.”
Qi Yuancheng said in agreement, “Your analysis is good. Although it will be the group’s key development department for the group next five years, the risk of misusing this person won’t affect the overall situation for the time being. Just do as you think for now.”
Qi Yu pondered for a moment and then said, “By the way, Dad, when I went back this time, I heard one other thing…”
Qi Yuancheng: “What is it?”
Qi Yu: “I heard that there are people above the Si Family and that Si Ze is secretly manipulating the stock prices of some listed companies. Do you know of this?”
Qi Yuancheng was taken aback: “Where did you hear about that?”
Qi Yu: “At Si Hang’s party.”
Qi Yuancheng paced around the room a couple of time, his hands behind his back. Contemplative, he said, “Your Uncle Si has a very wide network of contacts. His wife’s family comes from a government background and in China, it’s a relatively common thing for businessess and government to be intertwined… But they have their own ways of avoiding risks.”
Qi Yu frowned and said, “Then there won’t be any danger to us from working with them?”
Qi Yuancheng: “Si Ze alone can’t touch the funds of the Si Yuan Group. At most, they can join hands with outside groups to do their stock manipulation. It’s been so many years and nothing major has happened. During your usual conduct of business, remember to consult with Xiao Fu and also have him check on things for you.”
Seeing how his father trusted Fu Yansheng so much, Qi Yu felt that unease in his heart once again.
“Dad…” He couldn’t help asking, “Speaking of which, you’ve only seen Teacher Fu a handful of times, how can you feel so relieved having him by my side?”
Qi Yuancheng: “Naturally, Dad wouldn’t trust him for no reason. Before you two signed the contract, Dad went to investigate his background.”
Qi Yu said stunned, “You investigated him?”
“Of course.” Qi Yuancheng looked at him and said, “Do you still remember that you were kidnapped when you were a child and an uncle rescued you?”
“I remember.” The string of Buddha beads flashed across Qi Yu’s mind. “What about it?”
Qi Yuancheng said mysteriously, “The man’s name is Fu Xian and Fu Yansheng is his biological son.”
Qi Yu was shocked. Fu Yansheng had once said that that string of Buddha beads was an heirloom handed down their family. So it was the same string of beads that that uncle wore back then? No wonder he felt it looked so familiar at first sight!
Qi Yuancheng smiled and said, “Back then, I admired Mr. Fu’s character and when I met him, I heard that he had a very smart son. The investigation company showed me Fu Yansheng’s resume. It was so neat and clean, quite beautiful. That’s why I can rest assured letting him stay by your side.”
Qi Yu asked, “Then have you gotten in touch with that uncle?”
Qi Yuancheng shook his head: “I only asked someone to check his file. But it would be a bit offensive to just suddenly intrude on another person’s family like this. Since you recognize him as your teacher now, there will always be chances to meet in the future…”
Just as he was talking, Qi Yuancheng’s cell phone rang. As he answered the phone, he looked at his watch: “It’s getting late, let’s head to your Uncle Meng’s house first.”
All throughout the drive over, Qi Yu could get his mood to calm down. It turned out that his dad had already checked so many things behind the scenes… Did his father know about the relationship between Fu Yansheng, Xu Yizhou and Song Puxin?
It was a pity that Qi Yuancheng stayed on the phone and he couldn’t continue to ask his father what other things he knew about Fu Yansheng.
When they arrived at the Meng Family house, the cheerful festive atmosphere completely interrupted Qi Yu’s thoughts.
This year, when Meng Wenjing saw him, she finally no longer rushed over saying she would marry him, like she did last year. This little girl unexpected showed restraint and hid behind Aunt Fang. She wouldn’t come out no matter how much the adults teased.
The parents thought she finally learned to be shy and they all teased her.
“Xiao Wenjing, you don’t want to marry Qi Yu Gege this year?”
“No.” Meng Wenjing refused in a baby-like voice.
“Why not? Look at how handsome Qi Yu Gege is!”
“I said I don’t want!” The little girl puffed up her face in anger. ” Qi Yu Gege said he already has someone he likes! If he takes me as his wife, the person he likes will be very angry!”
Hearing her words, the whole table was stunned into silence. And then they all started talking over each other, gossiping.
“When did Qi Yu start seeing someone?”
“Whose family’s girl?”
Even Qi Yuancheng looked at Qi Yu curiously, “I’m his father and even I don’t know anything.”
Qi Yu’s heart almost jumped to his throat. He never thought that this little girl had such a good memory. She still remembered what he’d said to her last year when to fool her!
He hurriedly said, “I told this to Wenjing last year. She’s still young, so don’t keep making such jokes with her.”
When everyone heard it, they immediately understood and they all laughed: “It turns out that Qi Yu was embarrassed and made up an excuse…”
Fang Yi glanced at him with a smile. “I was just asking why Wenjing kept saying that I lied to her… You little brat, you!”
Someone else teased him and said, “Qi Yu, don’t look down on how young Wenjing is. When she grows up, you’ll know that tender is better!”
The older men burst out laughing and Qi Yu kept a polite smile, but in his heart, he was a little disgusted by such a statement.
After dinner, Qi Yu talked with the elders for a while. Because he has been involved in the business for the past six months, his temperament had become much more stable and the elders praised him even more than they had last year.
When Qi Yu couldn’t take it anymore, he found an excuse and escaped to the rooftop to relax by himself. When there was no one around him, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Fu Yansheng: “What are you doing?”
Fu Yansheng’s voice call came quickly. “Watching TV… Where are you celebrating the New Year’s?”
Qi Yu: “The same place as last year.”
Fu Yansheng raised the volume of his voice, “The house of your ‘fiancee’?”
Qi Yu laughed. Fu Yansheng said angrily from the other end of the phone, “Remember to draw a clear line between that family’s little girl!”
Qi Yu said deliberately, “What if I don’t?”
Fu Yansheng: “You won’t? If you don’t, I’m going to deal with you when I get back!”
Qi Yu remembered that the night before Fu Yansheng left, the two of them had rolled between the sheets in their Pascal City apartment, changing to several different positions. When Fu Yansheng left the next day, his waist was so sore and his legs too weak to get out of bed, that he simply waved his hand and had Wang Meng to send him off.
Looking at the night sky at this time, Qi Yu’s heart moved slightly and asked in a quiet voice, “Do you miss me?”
Fu Yansheng: “…”
