Ch 53: A-Ci is Well-Behaved
Fu Yanci woke up in the morning and found that his diet had once again become a light nutritional meal.
Bland and tasteless.
Not delicious at all!
“I want to eat soup dumplings and shrimp dumplings.”
Old Madam Fu coaxed him softly, “Yanci, be good. You’re experiencing internal heat right now, so you need to eat less greasy food. These have all been carefully prepared for you by the nutritionist and are good for your health.”
“Internal heat?” Fu Yanci was confused.
Jiang Zao placed the nutritional meal back in front of Fu Yanci, “That’s right, you had another nosebleed last night, so for at least the next week, you can only eat these. You can’t have any snacks either.”
Fu Yanci instantly looked aggrieved.
He began to bargain, “Can’t I just have a little bit of snacks?”
“No.” Jiang Zao asked rhetorically, “Is A-Ci not being well-behaved?”
Fu Yanci instantly wilted, “A-Ci is well-behaved.”
Then he reluctantly began to eat the nutritional meal.
This aggrieved appearance made Jiang Zao and Old Madam Fu laugh.
“Zao Zao, how is the progress at the Theme Resort?” Old Madam Fu rarely inquired, “If there’s anything you need help with, just say so. The Fu Corporation is also your home, so don’t be shy with family.”
Jiang Zao was quite grateful to Old Madam Fu. In her memory, Old Madam Fu wasn’t this kind in her past life.
Perhaps it was because she was Fu Yanci’s wife in this life?
“Everything is almost ready. I’m going to check the raw materials again today, and then we can choose a day to break ground,” Jiang Zao said.
Old Madam Fu nodded, “Take Yanci with you. Don’t treat him differently or indulge him just because he has the intelligence of a child now. The head of the Fu Family isn’t that delicate.”
Jiang Zao: “Okay.”
After she finished eating, she put down her chopsticks and asked, “Mom, are you going to the company with us later?”
“No, I have an appointment today,” Old Madam Fu said.
◈◈◈
Ten o’clock in the morning, Hua Qin Zhai.
This is a high-end tea house, membership-only. Many people in the upper circles of Lin City like to meet here to chat and discuss business.
When Xia Yunqian arrived and opened the door to the private room, Old Madam Fu was already sitting inside.
“In-law.” Xia Yunqian was good at being friendly, walking in with a smile.
Old Madam Fu didn’t refute him, “Sit down.”
She continued to brew tea, her movements flowing smoothly, every gesture revealing elegance. It was clear that she was someone who truly understood tea.
Xia Yunqian sat down opposite Old Madam Fu, unable to resist praising her, “In-law, you have such skill. Only someone with your style understands these things.”
Old Madam Fu glanced at him, said nothing, and handed Xia Yunqian a cup of tea.
She asked, “Is General Xia aware of the purpose of my inviting you here today?”
The phrase “General Xia” completely refuted Xia Yunqian’s earlier two “in-law” calls, as if slapping him in the face twice, making it burn.
Xia Yunqian’s expression wasn’t good. He lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and couldn’t taste anything. His mind was racing, unsure of what Old Madam Fu meant.
Old Madam Fu’s expression was indifferent. She said in a deep voice, “Regarding the matter of my son and daughter-in-law being attacked, although Madam Xia has been detained for a few days, I don’t think that’s the full extent of the punishment.”
Xia Yunqian’s expression changed again.
So it was about this matter.
Was she meeting him to settle accounts?
“Old Madam Fu, this matter…”
◈◈◈
Old Madam Fu raised her hand, interrupting Xia Yunqian, “The specifics of that matter, heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know. If Madam Xia had the guts to attack someone from the Fu Family, then her cunning is something to behold, and it should be a wake-up call for General Xia. But if it wasn’t Madam Xia who did it, General Xia should be even more careful. Your wife can be so easily framed, who knows, you might be next?”
Xia Yunqian: “……”
At this moment, he felt a little scared.
Yes.
What if this person was targeting him?
Having achieved her goal of deterrence, Old Madam Fu continued, “The Fu Family is quite traditional. We believe that once a daughter is married out, she’s like water that’s been poured away. Zao Zao is now my daughter-in-law, so she’s a legitimate member of the Fu Family. In Lin City, no one dares to disrespect the Fu Family like this. I invited General Xia here today just to remind you that you don’t need to worry about Zao Zao’s affairs in the future. And if Zao Zao is harmed again because of you, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Even her threats were polite, but the imposing aura that didn’t require anger was something Xia Yunqian couldn’t match. He couldn’t say a word, watching helplessly as Old Madam Fu got up and left.
Jiang Zao didn’t know that Old Madam Fu had specially warned Xia Yunqian for her sake. At this time, she was at the South of the City Construction Site.
The raw materials had been delivered one after another.
“Did the quality inspection pass?” Jiang Zao asked.
Fang Tang was in charge of this matter. He nodded, “Don’t worry, General Jiang. I’ve checked everything. The materials are definitely fine.”
Jiang Zao couldn’t help but remind him again, “Not only this batch of materials, but also when more arrive later, you have to re-inspect them. There can’t be any omissions.”
Fang Tang: “I know.”
Fu Yanci also wore a safety helmet and followed closely behind Jiang Zao.
“Wife, can these things build the beautiful house in that design drawing?”
Jiang Zao turned around and took his hand, “Yes, they can.”
The three of them walked to the workers’ dormitory area. Most of the workers had already moved in.
Jiang Zao checked the environment and didn’t find anything wrong for the time being.
“Later, I’ll send a resident doctor over. After construction starts, any minor injuries or illnesses the workers have must be treated promptly. In addition to the insurance their original company bought for them, buy an additional accidental injury insurance for each of them,” Jiang Zao said.
The Foreman thanked her repeatedly.
After returning to the company, Jiang Zao immediately attended a middle-management meeting.
Fu Yanci felt bored, so he didn’t go in. He wandered around with Momo.
He liked going to the tea rooms on each floor the most.
Because there were always young men and women chatting about gossip, saying very interesting things.
“Did you hear? Feifei from the Business Department also received harassing calls. Not only that, but there were also emails, and inside were those…tsk tsk tsk, disgusting pictures.”
“There’s been another one? How many times has this happened recently? It’s always the Business Department. If you ask me, their department is too yin and not enough yang, they need to adjust it properly.”
“Linda also said that they were making a fuss over nothing, that they must be behaving improperly usually, so they attracted so much trouble. Really, it’s no wonder that the people under her aren’t united when a dignified manager doesn’t protect her subordinates like that.”
Fu Yanci was listening openly and honestly from the side. This was a corner, so the people in the tea room didn’t see him at all.
At this time, a female employee ran over in a panic.
“Big news! Sister Linda also received a harassing email. This time it’s even more explicit and disgusting, it’s a video, a man with no face showing facing the camera…Sister Linda is furious and has already gone to report to General Jiang.”
