Chapter 082: To Travel Far Across the Ocean
Qi Yu was so excited by the other party’s “I miss you a little bit” that his body stiffened and his work brain instantly turned into love brain…
——He missed him just ‘a little bit’?
——Fine. Actually, he misses him a little bit too…
——It would be great if Teacher Fu were by his side now.
——He would definitely take the initiative to kiss him…
For a while, he held the phone and just let his imagination roam. He didn’t realize how high up the corners of his mouth had gone at that moment.
He thought so many things, but in the end he just said, “I rented a new apartment.”
“Oh?” Fu Yansheng asked, sounding interested, “What kind?”
Qi Yu looked around. He was standing in the bedroom of their new place.
After renting the apartment, Qi Yu bought a lot of new furnishings, kitchen utensils and bedding. He even the seemingly ordinary ornament on the shelf of the study was one he had personally picked out and bought when he’d been strolling through a jewelry store.
A cleaning crew had come by during the day and the cleaned the whole place spotless. The sheets and quilts were already laid out in both bedrooms and they were even his favorite mink gray color. On the bedside table, Jo Malone pine and cypress aromatherapy sets were opened, leaving a pleasant fragrance in the room.
He has never done this kind of trivial things before. In the house in Newtown, Anne was responsible for buying all the food he ate and all the things he used. This was a first for him. He was self-taught. While fantasizing about his daily domestic life with Fu Yansheng, he unwittingly created a cozy apartment that wasn’t any inferior to a five-star hotel.
“You’ll know once you come.” Qi Yu tried building up the suspense.
He didn’t tell Fu Yansheng about doing all these things. He was afraid that if Fu Yansheng were to find out, his tail would stand up so high, it would reach the sky.
Fu Yansheng smiled and said, “Well, give me the address and I’ll send some things over first.”
“I’ll send to you later on WeChat,” Qi Yu coughed lightly, and said, “Clothes and the like…you don’t need to send over a lot. You can just buy those here.”
Fu Yansheng jokingly said, “Will you buy it for me?”
Qi Yu: “…En.”
Fu Yansheng: “Are you going to buy my underwear too?”

After another week, the discussions about Mei Wei on the domestic Internet completely died down. Although the stock price had dropped sharply compared to its price at its peak, once the situation stabilized, it fluctuated a bit and then rebounded within a few days.
Afterwards, Qi Yu remembered how Fu Yansheng mentioned over the phone that there seemed to be an issue with Mei Wei’s stock price. He studied the changes in stock price for several days but based on his current knowledge, he really couldn’t find anything wrong with it. Moreover, Qi Yuancheng told him not to concern himself about these things. He also didn’t hear Fu Yansheng mention this again so it gradually faded from his mind.
One thing he found stranger than Mei Wei’s stock price was that he hadn’t seen Zhang Cheng Xuan even though it has almost been half a month since school started.
Since the two of them had a common elective course, Qi Yu sent a WeChat message to the other party, asking him if he has returned to school. Zhang Cheng Xuan gave no reply.
When he met Gao Zhishi at school one day, Qi Yu casually asked, “Has senior met Zhang Cheng Xuan this year?”
Gao Zhishi was surprised. “He said that he had a small car accident when he went home during the holiday and that he’s still recovering in the hospital. He’s taken a one-month leave from school. He’ll probably have to wait until October before he can come.” He said, puzzled, “You’ve got a really good relationship. Didn’t he tell you?”
Qi Yu was shocked. “No. When did he tell you?”
Gao Zhishi: “Around the end of August. I was still in China at the time and wanted to see him, but he refused. After that, he didn’t reply to any of my messages. I also have no idea how serious his injuries are.”
Qi Yu nodded and thanked him. “I see, thank you.”
Gao Zhishi called him to a stop and said, “Hey, Qi Yu, this year there’s a new batch of students. Since Zhang Cheng Xuan isn’t here, this time, I’ll be organizing the get-together for the Chinese students. Will you come with?”
Qi Yu politely refused. “I also had a lot of family-related matters this year. I might not be at school most of the time so I don’t think I’ll be able to participate.”
Gao Zhishi smiled awkwardly and said in an envious tone, “You really only give face to Zhang Gongzi.”
Qi Yu was taken aback but he didn’t know how to explain.
Thankfully, Gao Zhishi seemed tactful too. He patted Qi Yu’s shoulder in a friendly manner and said, “Keep in touch anyway. You have my contact number. If you change your mind, just let me know at any time.”
Qi Yu agreed. After returning home, he thought about what had happened to Zhang Cheng Xuan.
At the end of last month, he and his dad jointly detonated this mine regarding Mei Wei, which triggered a company clean up. He was almost kidnapped for the second time and Zheng Cheng Xuan coincidentally had a car accident at this time… Could there be a connection behind all these things?
Qi Yu couldn’t help calling Qi Yuancheng to ask, “Dad, after Qiu Rusong was arrested, did Qiu Rusong say anything about his relationship with the Zhang family?”
Qi Yuancheng said solemnly, “I was about to tell you this as well. The day before yesterday, Qiu Rusong had already confessed to the police how he had opened Ivy. He admitted to having been egged on by a schoolmate with the surname Zhang to open up the store. In the beginning, the other party taught him a lot of tricks, including how to replace Mei Wei’s raw materials, how to copy Mei Wei’s designs, how to make false accounts, how to forge relationships with various people… Qiu Rusong said that at first, he only took small amounts. He didn’t expect it would go so smoothly and that’s why he began making such bold moves.”
Qi Yu frowned. “Can’t we jointly hold the Zhang family accountable?”
Qi Yuancheng: “No, because we only have Qiu Rusong’s word for this. He couldn’t produce any other evidence. Once it’s made public, FIA may accuse us of slander.”
Qi Yu wondered: “Was Qiu Rusong was completely used?”
“Exploitation is one thing, but people’s hearts are indeed changeable.” Qi Yuancheng sighed deeply, and then told Qi Yu what he had talked about with Qiu Mingyang that day when they met, “Qiu Mingyang asked me to meet that night to say that he he had no idea about Qiu Rusong stealing Mei Wei’s raw materials to operate Ivy. Before I told him the severity of the matter, he only thought that Qiu Rusong had opened a small online shop, operating on a small-scale, so he hadn’t paid it any mind…I also hinted to him at the time that Qiu Rusong was likely being used by Mei Wei’s competitors. So Qiu Rusong confessing this now could also be just him borrowing my words to find excuses for himself. He might even be doing it to remove his accomplices, including his father. But if you think about it, three years ago, Qiu Rusong was just a small manager on a logistics line under the production department. Without Qiu Mingyang’s support and indulgence, how could he have opened all these channels?
Only when Qi Yu heard Qi Yuancheng’s bitten did he realize that in his heart, his father was still hurt by Uncle Qiu’s betrayal. He hadn’t brought down judgement as decisively as he had imagined nor had he intended to capture everyone in one go.
When he met Qiu Mingyang that night, Qi Yuancheng might have been giving Qiu Mingyang one last chance. But Uncle Qiu let him down. Dad also wanted to be loyal, but in the face of this situation, he had to suppress the kindness in his heart and force himself to pick up the butcher’s knife…
Qi Yu couldn’t help sighing. He then changed the topic and said, “By the way, Dad, do you remember Zhang Chengxuan? He’s the classmate who told me about Qiu Rusong. I heard that he had a car accident last month and is still in the hospital. He still hasn’t come to school yet.”
Qi Yuancheng was taken aback. “Really?”
Qi Yu: “En, speaking of, although we knew that there was a problem with the production line by looking at the financial reports, if Zhang Cheng Xuan hadn’t told me about the relationship between Qiu Rusong and his third brother, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to lock onto an investigation target so quickly…”
“I know, but Dad still can’t figure out the situation inside the Zhang Family, and Fia has made no obviously big moves…” Qi Yuancheng didn’t seem to be interested in Zhang Cheng Xuan’s situation. He also added, “Him not coming is also a good thing. Any connection to the Zhang family always makes Dad feel uneasy. You have to pay attention to your safety.”
Qi Yu didn’t get the answer he wanted to know from his father. Helplessly, he gave an “en”. Before hanging up the phone, he remembered something and asked, “Is everything still normal with Mei Wei’s stocks?”
Qi Yuancheng: “Don’t worry, the current situation is still within Dad’s control.”
Qi Yu: “Alright…”
As soon as he finished talking with Qi Yuancheng, Qi Yu’s cell phone rang.
“Who were you talking to? I called you twice but got a busy tone.” A familiar male voice came from the other end of the line.
“With my dad,” Qi Yu’s tone unconsciously softened, “Why are you calling me at this hour?”
Fu Yansheng: “I wanted to let you know that I had booked a ticket for tomorrow.”
Qi Yu’s heart gave a jump. His thoughts were pulled from analyzing Mei Wei’s current sutation to a romantic state. His entire being lightened. “What time is tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow at 12 noon. I’m taking an 11 hour direct flight to your city. Starting from now, you have about 34 hours before you get to see me.” Fu Yansheng asked with a smile, “Happy?”
Qi Yu pretended to be calm and said, “When you arrive, I guess I’ll be in class. Should I have Wang Meng drive my car to pick you up at the airport?”
Fu Yansheng raised the volume slightly. “Your boyfriend’s travelling far across the ocean to see you and you still have the mind to go to class?”
Qi Yu laughed and said deliberately, “You still want me to skip class and pick you up?”
He thought to himself, if Fu Yansheng asks, he’ll go pick him up.
But he didn’t expect for Fu Yansheng to pause after hearing the words and say, muffled, “Forget it. Go attend your class. I’m going to pack up, so I’ll be hanging up.”
“Hey…” Qi Yu still wanted to say something but was already met with the dial tone.
Qi Yu was speechless… Fu Yansheng dared to hang up on his call?
…Could it be that he really was upset?
He stared at the phone screen, hesitating whether he should call back to coax the other party. But then he remembered that Fu Yansheng was coming tomorrow. He was going to have to stay by his side in the future. Was there still any need for him to coax?
Qi Yu gritted his teeth and put away his phone. He told himself that he really should spoil that man!
These past few days, Qi Yu has already moved out of his original apartment and moved into this newly rented apartment ahead of time. He turned around and fetched a bottle of water from the refrigerator. He imagined Fu Yansheng being here, doing laundry and cooking for him, giving him lectures. Fu Yansheng was going to have to do whatever he wanted him to do. A burst of smugness filled his heart……
Qi Yu drank water while making his way to the bedroom. Catching sight of the bed, he suddenly stopped. A strange expression stole over his face and his ears went hot.
After half a minute, Qi Yu screwed on the cap of the bottle. Blushing, he pulled up a pillow and punched it wildly.
