Chapter 168 You are jealous
Hanging up the phone, Qi Yu lay paralyzed in the bed for a while. But he was then interrupted by the constant buzzing from his phone.
He picked up his phone and saw that it was President Qu’s daughter, Qu Xian, who sent him a message.
Because Qu Weixiang doesn’t know much about the company’s financial affairs, he was particularly trusting and dependent on his daughter. During their discussions today, he entrusted Qi Yu with taking videos and photos of relevant documents and sending it to his daughter, Qu Xian.
Qu Xian received the documents and whenever she encountered something she couldn’t understand, she directly asked Qi Yu about it.
In order to reassure the father and daughter, Qi Yu also patiently answered each question.
He had been so anxious about Lei Hong’s matter just now that he wasn’t able to promptly reply. Qu Xian thought he was getting impatient and asked, “Do these questions of mine seem silly to you?”
Qi Yu rasied his spirits and replied to her, “Not at all. We’re discussing cooperation and we must ensure that both parties know and understand any and all terms. Before signing the relevant agreement, if you have any questions that you don’t understand, you only need to ask.”
Compared with Qu Weixiang, Qi Yu felt it was easier to explain to his daughter. The girl was very smart. Although she it wasn’t her major, she was much faster at accepting and understanding these things than Qu Weixiang.
Only that, Qu Xian’s personality was as enthusiastic and cheerful as her father’s. Aside from issues related to their cooperation, she would occasionally gossip about Qi Yu’s studies, his current situation and future plans.
Qi Yu remembered the joke that Chu Meng made yesterday. He too knew very well what sort of daydreams about him Qu Weixiang and his daughter were entertaining. At this time, considering the cooperation between the two sides, he not only wanted to maintain a good relationship with the father and daughter pair. However, he also had to carefully maintain their conversation within the bounds of what was appropriate; he should avoid letting the girl think too much.
The two exchanged questions and answers and an hour passed quickly.
Almost right on the dot, Fu Yansheng sent him a video call and Qi Yu quickly picked it up.
“I’m at the hotel…” Fu Yansheng had already taken off his coat and walked to the coffee table and sofa to sit down, a freshly lit cigarette between his fingers, “Why were you calling me so urgently just now?”
Qi Yu pulled away from dealing with Qu Xian. He let out a sigh of relief, leaned on the pillow behind him and confided to Fu Yansheng, “Your words have proved prophetic. Lei Hong did come for Su Jing.”
Fu Yansheng smiled and said, “Really?”
Qi Yu relayed to Fu Yansheng the conversation he had just had with his father in the study. After listening, Fu Yansheng said, “You said that straight to your father?”
“Do you think I may have gone a little overboard saying those things?” Qi Yu recalled his father’s lost expression at the time and reflected, “I do have to admit that Lei Hong’s condition made me angry. I was a little agitated at the time.”
“Based solely on interests, most people would have accepted Lei Hong’s condition. After all, this is a good opportunity to save your Si Yuan Group from danger.” Fu Yansheng smiled, “But I’m not surprised at all that you made this decision. Who made you have a true temperament?”
Qi Yu was in a complicated mood. “But my dad was very disappointed that I made this decision.”

Qi Yu: “Just what?”
Fu Yansheng sighed with emotion, “It’s a pity that you didn’t say such lofty words in front of Su Jing.”
Qi Yu: “…???”
Qi Yu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “That’s what’s important?”
“Of course. Since you’ve made your choice, you should maximize the benefits of it.” Fu Yansheng pointed at the screen of his phone with the cigarette. “If Su Jing were to learn of what you paid for you, of what you gave up, he’ll probably to loyal to you all his life.”
Qi Yu: “Don’t tell me you’re thinking of making me say that speech in front of him again. How much of a sham would that be?”
Fu Yansheng: “You said those words with sincerity, how would it be a sham? You don’t need to say them yourself. You can just have others spread it around for you.”
Qi Yu thought to himself, this man is really black to the bone…
Fu Yansheng exhaled cigarette smoke, looked at him and said, “You’ve already made the decision, why are you still frowning? Are you afraid that Lei Hong would be shamed into anger and make things difficult for you?”
Qi Yu was startled. “He’s bonafide VIP. How could he be shamed into anger by something like this?”
Fu Yansheng: “Don’t underestimate these big bosses. He personally went to look for you. Given the depths of his obsession, failing at this, you can’t say for sure that he won’t threaten you into giving in.”
Qi Yu was stunned by these words. He thought of Xu Jing’s warning about those new minority shareholders who came in a few months ago being a hidden calamity. That Chairman Lei wouldn’t help was already bad news; if he were to step in, wouldn’t it make matters worse?
His father’s desolate look in the study still lingered in Qi Yu’s mind. Qi Yu thought of how for the past half year, he has hurt his father again and again. His brows furrowed once again. From a certian point of view, the incident today was his dad condoning his “willfulness”. Otherwise, he could have ignored his own opinion and made a decision that was better for the Group as a whole.
Qi Yu knew that it was time for him to pay the price for his choice. He looked at Fu Yansheng and finally said, “You said last time…”
Seeing Qi Yu’s changing expression, Fu Yansheng understood and asked with a smile, “Do you want me to help?”
Qi Yu: “…”
Fu Yansheng coaxed and said, “Come on, let me hear you call me ‘husband’.”
Qi Yu was choked by Fu Yansheng’s statement and he couldn’t help but change the conversation, asking deliberately, “Tell me, do you think I should go and find Tang Weiye tomorrow? Tang Qi FAW might not be as good as Si Holdigns, but their foundation is still stable. The Si Family’s incident affected them very little. I also know Tang Weiye’s brother, so maybe I should ask if they’ll be willing to help?”
Fu Yansheng: “…”
Qi Yu: “It’s just that you know you can’t act impartially after having received a favor. I don’t know what I can use to repay this favor from the Tang Family…”
Fu Yansheng’s hand holding his cigarette paused and he said angrily, “You dare go!?”
Qi Yu raised his eyelids and said sharply, “Then answer me already, will you help me?”
“When have you ever heard me say ‘no’ to you?” Fu Yansheng put the cigarette on the ashtray and said helplessly, “You’re the only in this world who would still act so domineering when asking someone for help…”
Qi Yu looked at the man in front of him who had repeatedly compromised for him, and his heart softened. “Thank you.”
Fu Yansheng hmm-ed and said, “But let me tell you now, the person I’m gonna look for won’t have as big a background as Chairman Lei, so you better manage your expectations.”
Qi Yu laughed. “It’s a blessing to have someone to help at this time. You think I’d still be picky?”
Fu Yansheng: “With you being so proud and arrogant, who knows who you won’t look down on…”
Qi Yu: “So, who is it?”
Fu Yansheng: “I’m keeping it a secret for now.”
“Tsk, you sure know how to keep people in suspense…” Qi Yu remembered something and said anxiously, “Hey, I’m not kidding though. We have limited time.”
Fu Yansheng: “I know, I will give you a definite answer in two days.”
Qi Yu looked at him suspiciously. In two days? That quickly?
While the two of them were chatting, Fu Yansheng heard Qi Yu’s phone vibrating constantly, and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter? Who keeps sending you messages while I’m chatting with you?”
“Why do you have such a good ear? It’s President Qu’s daughter.” Qi Yu had answered Fu Yansheng’s call halfway through their conversation and he’d been ignoring the rest of her message the whole time.
“President Qu’s… daughter?” Fu Yansheng was dazed and then he frowned, “How is she? What are you talking about?”
“One year younger than me. President Qu is the one who’ll be taking over Wang Zhendong’s shares, right? He doesn’t understand much about the agreement so he asked me to send the documents to his daughter…”
Qi Yu explained and Fu Yansheng became even more annoyed: “You can’t find someone else to answer her directly about this kind of thing? What is Chu Meng doing? Let her be the liaison. You don’t even pay attention to how many people you attract. Aren’t you afraid his daughter would wrap herself around you?”
Qi Yu: “What? Are you jealous?”
Fu Yansheng raised his eyebrows coldly. “I can’t be jealous? You’re my actual boyfriend, who I haven’t touched or seen in half a year. While you…Today, it’s a little girl; tomorrow, it might be an eldest daughter. If I didn’t call you everyday to check up on you, I might find out you’ve sold yourself as a son-in-law for your family’s business!”
Qi Yu listened to the man pouring out a bunch of complaints like he was pouring beans. He couldn’t help laughing until his shoulders shook. “This jealousy is quite strong…Wait a minute.”
After speaking, he hung up Fu Yansheng’s video call first.
Fu Yansheng: “??”
Qi Yu cut back to the chat dialog with Qu Xian, and saw that Qu Xian had just sent him a dozen or so messages, some of which were gossips and some that were about the contract. Seeing that he had not responded, Qu Xian had just sent another sentence: “Are you busy?”
Qi Yu replied, “I’m sorry, my partner just called.”
Qu Xian: “Uh…”
Qu Xian: “You have a partner?”
Yu: “En, we’ve been together almost three years.”
Qi Yu took a screenshot and sent it to Fu Yansheng.
F1S: “…”
F1S: “See? Her ‘uh’ here is quite subtle. If you hadn’t explained her, she would have already been planning how to get in bed with you!”
F1S: “…Eh? Three years?”
Yu: “Didn’t you tell your subordinates at Mingtai Securities that you have someone who is particularly clingy?”
Yu: “If I remember correctly, you just met me back then.”
F1S: “…”
Qu Xian: “You’re so low-key. I’ve never seen you post it on your social media pages.”
Yu: “My partner’s work is of a special nature so we can’t come out.”
Qi Yu took another screenshot and sent it to Fu Yansheng, and asked, “Can you come out? Since you can’t, then talk less sh*t in the future.”
F1S: “…”
