He stood with both hands in his pockets, watching the rainy scenery outside the window, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
It was only when Xie Jingqiu entered that Fu Huai’an turned around. His eyes met Xie Jingqiu’s, and he walked towards the sofa. “Tea is brewed. Have a seat…”
Neither said much. It was as if they were old friends!
While they had known each other for a long time, they had spent little time together. However, it could be said that they understood each other because they were the same type of people inherently!
Back when Fu Huai’an was a lawyer, Tang Xi had wanted very much to invite Fu Huai’an to be the Jiahe Corporation’s legal consultant. But even then, Xie Jingqiu could tell that Fu Huai’an was no mediocre person and would certainly not take up his offer!
Xie Jingqiu wasn’t at all surprised to see that Fu Huai’an had achieved these results.
Xie Jingqiu removed his jacket and casually placed it on the back of the sofa, then sat down across from Fu Huai’an.
“Chu Fangzheng has already contacted Tang Xi…” Xie Jingqiu said.
He watched as Fu Huai’an skillfully poured tea into his teacup, the aroma of tea filling his senses.
“Is President Tang meeting him?” Fu Huai’an smiled.
Xie Jingqiu smiled too. “Need to at least meet him!”
Xie Jingqiu’s assistant Xiao Bai and Fu Huai’an’s assistant Little Lu then knocked on the door. The two of them placed the contracts before their respective bosses, then prepared their bosses’ pens and seals, before taking their leave.
There was nearly nothing to hesitate about. Xie Jingqiu and Fu Huai’an weren’t good friends, but they had at least this much trust in each other. Very quickly, they signed and stamped their seals upon the contracts and exchanged them.
Xie Jingqiu’s assistant Xiao Bai knew that Fu Huai’an liked to smoke and only smoked cigarettes of a particular brand, hence he had prepared the cigarettes and placed them at a corner of the coffee table. However, Fu Huai’an didn’t touch them.
“Quit smoking?” Xie Jingqiu remembered Fu Huai’an was a very heavy smoker. “Is your wife pregnant?”
Xie Jingqiu had quit smoking himself when Su Nian got pregnant with Fan Fan.
Fu Huai’an nodded. Perhaps because Xie Jingqiu had mentioned Lin Nuan, there was an added gentleness and smile in his eyes. “Lin Nuan is worried about my health…”
Xie Jingqiu, who could empathize, nodded. “How is your brother-in-law’s health? I heard from Su Nian that he was hospitalized recently!”
“Recovering very well, thank Su Nian on my behalf!”
Xie Jingqiu nodded. Recalling Jiang Ming’an and Lu Xiangsi’s child, he said, “If it’s convenient, bring along your wife and Tuan Tuan next time. I very much hope that Fan Fan can build a friendship with Tuan Tuan!”
Fu Huai’an understood what Xie Jingqiu meant. He neither refused nor agreed, merely lowering his gaze and sipping his tea. He wasn’t too fond of letting Tuan Tuan enter the circle of his deceased parents. Fu Huai’an didn’t want to let Tuan Tuan grow up amidst the sympathy of others!
Xie Jingqiu and Su Nian were perhaps alright, but what about the others? Xie Jingqiu’s childhood friends—when they saw Tuan Tuan, would they recall Jiang Ming’an and Lu Xiangsi, and because of that, look upon Tuan Tuan with sympathy and sadness?
Fu Huai’an wasn’t willing to gamble on something he was unsure of.
Inside Sky Imperial Garden, the two chairmen of the Jiahe Corporation and the Kaide Corporation didn’t sit there and talk about some big business or make arrangements following the signing of the contract. Upon entering, they signed the contract immediately and started chatting calmly.
Very quickly, the Jiahe Corporation’s official Weibo and the Kaide Corporation’s official Weibo released news of their impending cooperation one after the other, but they didn’t specify that the project they were going to collaborate on was the new coastal city project in Wei City…
[@Jiahe Corporation’s Official Weibo: Very honored to be able to collaborate with the Kaide Corporation. Happy working together, @Lin Nuan’s husband (Starry-eyed emoticon) (Starry-eyed emoticon)]
[@Kaide Corporation’s Official Weibo: Very honored to be able to collaborate with the Jiahe Corporation. Happy working together, Chairman Xie @Xie Jingqiu (Starry-eyed emoticon) (Starry-eyed emoticon) //@Jiahe Corporation’s Official Weibo: Very honored to be able to collaborate with the Kaide Corporation. Happy working together, @Lin Nuan’s husband (Starry-eyed emoticon) (Starry-eyed emoticon)]
Shortly after the Jiahe Corporation released the news, the Jiahe Corporation’s official Weibo did the same…
But the netizens’ response made one unsure whether to laugh or cry!
[@Peach-colored little peach: Aye? Aye? Aye aye! Did I just see two fake Weibo posts? Were they hacked at the same time? What huge project is my hubby going to collaborate with Chairman Xie on?]
[Collector of handsome men: Ah ah ah ah ah ah! Are the Jiahe Corporation and the Kaide Corporation going to collaborate? Is my wish finally going to be fulfilled? Previously, I thought Mr. Fu would be going to the Jiahe Corporation. In the end, he still stayed on at the Kaide Corporation! This time, with the collaboration between the two companies, am I going to be able to witness the glorious scene of my super handsome President Tang, Mr. Xie, Mr. Fu, and President Lu standing together?]
[@BBQ Meat on a bamboo stick: The usually dignified and aloof official Weibo accounts are acting cute! Am I seeing things?]
[@Long Dongqiang: Are these the real official Weibo accounts of the Jiahe Corporation and the Kaide Corporation?]
[@Little flabs: Am I the only one who’s concerned about what project it is? I really want to know! The Jiahe Corporation and the Kaide Corporation! Since the two big bosses are collaborating, it’s bound to be something that will shake the nation!]
[@Leave your feelings: The administrators of the Jiahe Corporation’s official Weibo and the Kaide Corporation’s official Weibo aren’t dignified at all! How could they act cute on the official Weibo accounts? Ha ha ha ha ha…]
[@I love Ms. Lin Nuan: Right, don’t just tell us you’re collaborating! What project is it exactly! So keen to find out!]
When Chu Fangzheng saw the news, his heart started pounding wildly, and his right eye started twitching too.
Chu Fangzheng and his assistant were getting bombarded by calls. Someone who was unable to get through to Chu Fangzheng or his assistant on their phones even called the Chu family to ask Chu Fangzheng’s wife what was going on. He pressed her about whether Chu Fangzheng had cheated them, curious whether Chu Fangzheng had signed a contract with the Jiahe Corporation at all. He wanted to know if the Jiahe Corporation decided to collaborate with the Kaide Corporation in the end!
Unable to hide anymore, Chu Fangzheng answered the call. The person on the other end said, “Old Chu, what exactly is going on? What is the project the Jiahe Corporation and the Kaide Corporation just announced they are collaborating on? Is it the new coastal city project in Wei City? We’ve been friends for so long, so you mustn’t dupe me!”
“How would I?” Even as he tried to explain things, Chu Fangzheng didn’t feel so certain himself. “I saw the Weibo post. Did they say it was the new coastal city project? I’m meeting President Tang at noon today, and I’m setting off right now! Moreover, I signed the contract with you using the Chu Group’s name. If my Chu Group ends up not collaborating with the Jiahe Corporation, am I not afraid of having to pay the compensation?”
The other party was silent for a moment before saying with a laugh, “Right, when you came to sign a contract with me, you said you’d signed the contract with the Jiahe Corporation! Then… after you meet President Tang this time, you’re going to announce the news to the public, right?”
