Chapter 1823
“Beep-beep-beep-beep.”
There was no answer all the way from the waiting tone to the automatic hang-up.
Fu Shenyin had always been a light sleeper, and would not have failed to answer his personal calls for no reason.
I held the phone for more than ten seconds before I opened WeChat and dialed Chen Yi’s video call.
After a long moment, Chen Yi picked up, a wall with a bright view in the background.
“Something wrong ma’am?” Chen Yi said with an expressionless face, looking at the camera.
“Where is Fu Shenyin?”
“Mr. Fu didn’t tell me.” He blurted out without even thinking about it.
“Yeah.” This statement was not credible, as a special assistant, if he could not even grasp the whereabouts of his boss who was just in the company, Fu Shen Yan would not allow him to stay, “Okay, I’m not looking for Fu Shen Yan now, I’m looking for you, where are you, I’ll go find you.”
Chen Yi considered for two seconds, and then said calmly, “It’s better for me to go and look for Madam.”
“Good, go back to Fu’s, I’ll wait in Fu Shen Yan’s office, give you twenty minutes.”
After saying that, he could not answer and directly pressed the hang up button.
Leaning back on Fu Shen Yan’s office chair, he tilted his head into deep thought and began to think back on how Fu Shen Yan had just reacted.
He was a man who knew how to control his emotions, and if it wasn’t unbearable, he wouldn’t have shown a worrying look, and as a patient, I understood all too well that the sudden powerlessness of an illness is enough to break a person’s pretense and show through his facial expressions in the truest sense.
Of course, this was the worst guess, perhaps Fu Shenyan had simply run into a difficult problem, or perhaps not. In comparison, I expected the latter, after all, whatever loss suffered was no more precious than life.
I waited for almost half an hour before Chen Yi pushed open the door to his office and walked in.
“I’m sorry Madam, I had to take care of a temporary matter at hand, so I’ve kept you waiting.” Chen Yi bent his upper body and said respectfully.
I didn’t answer, my cold eyes just stared at him for a long time before I found my voice, “You were with Fu Shen Yan just now.”
“No,” Chen Yi kept his head down, not daring to look at me, “Madam you are overthinking things, it was indeed because of a delay in business.”
Pursing my lips, I still didn’t answer the question.
Fu Shenyin had admonished Chen Yi more than once to give way to anything before me and his orders, and Chen Yi had never disobeyed, so perhaps Chen Yi wasn’t lying, but it was enough to prove that the matter that forced him to choose to make me wait longer was definitely not a small one.
The atmosphere was somewhat stagnant for a long time, and only then did I lift my lips, “Well then, tell me what you’re doing, there’s always no need to hide this from me, is there Special assistant Chen?”
“That’s for sure.” Chen Yi was surprisingly frank, lifting his eyes to look at me calmly, “In order to succeed in getting Zhao Shuang to take over the Betcoin business, Mr. Fu made a disguised guarantee during his interview, and now the company’s business is being monitored by the stock committee, and tomorrow the officials will send someone to investigate, so everything must be prepared tonight without delay.”
It sounded logical.
Looking at Chen Yi’s unchanged face, I wondered a little if I was being overly paranoid.
I had decided to come here on the spur of the moment, and Chen Yi had come in such a hurry that he couldn’t have thought of a perfunctory reason in advance. Besides, something as big as being investigated by the stock committee would inevitably be noticed by the media, and if he lied, he would easily be demolished tomorrow.
Chapter1824
The office suddenly fell into silence, the atmosphere was awkward and confusing, it seemed that somewhere it just didn’t make sense, but what exactly was wrong, but no one could say.
The sound of the door opening suddenly came from behind him, and when he looked sideways, the familiar figure of Fu Shen Yan appeared in front of him.
He stood proudly by the door, his face expressionless, his handsome features still defined, as if he was still a young man in his twenties.
There had never been a moment when I was more excited to see him standing safely in front of me than now.
I couldn’t restrain the panic in my heart any longer, so I got up and walked over quickly, hugging Fu Shen Yan tightly, feeling the familiar smell of his body, and finally breathing a sigh of relief, “I’m glad you’re okay.”
“Why did you suddenly run over here?” Fu Shen Yan’s broad palm rubbed my head, carefully calming me down, and when he ordered Chen Yi, his tone was much colder, “Go out first.”
Chen Yi was very sensible and did not continue to disturb us.
Only when the door closed did I get up from Fu Shen Yan’s arms, frowning and looking up at him, “Where have you been? Why didn’t you answer the phone?”
Fu Shen Yan was not in a hurry to answer, he led me to the sofa and sat down, slowly and methodically poured a glass of water and handed it to me, “Drink some water first.”
I didn’t have the heart to calm down, put the cup aside and asked anxiously, “Apart from business matters, you have other things to hide from me, right?”
Fu ShenYan’s eyes were downcast and silent, his black eyes looked like ink was rendered in them, making it impossible for people to guess his emotions at the moment.
But the more this happens, the more it proves that my guess is right, he is in big trouble.
I pursed my lips and reached out to hold Fu Shen Yan, “We are husband and wife.”
The couple is one and the same, moreover, they share the same difficulties and rely on each other till the end of their lives, and should bear anything together.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
I am no stranger to the legal effects of a signature after handling a law firm for so long. Once Fu Shen Yan agrees, it means that no matter what kind of crisis Betcoin faces in the future, he and Fu will not be able to stand alone, including the future economic crime sentencing, and will certainly be the first to bear the brunt.
I thought that the performance of Fu Shenyan and I in breaking up during this period of time was enough to make Du Haotian and the others relax their guard, but I didn’t expect that ginger was still hot, and they believed in the guarantee written down in black and white more than the illusory trust.
“You’re prepared to agree?” I asked.
Fu Shen Yan shook his head, “I can’t have anything happen to me before your illness is cured, I won’t sign this.”
“That’s fine.” I wouldn’t support the practice of using myself as a bet, “If it’s too risky, just stop for a while, the current situation, Gao Ye wants nothing to happen to each other, and won’t rashly make a move against us, you don’t need to push yourself too hard.”
“Now that it is so easy to drive Mu Shen away and not have to worry about having enemies on my back, how can I stop, with one less opponent, my chances of striking through are greater, so all the more reason for me to speed up.”
Fu Shen Yan’s expression was focused and serious, as if he was still caught up in his thoughts at the moment.
No one could change what he had decided, so I sighed and had no choice but to think of a solution together.
But I don’t know why, but when I really felt Fu Shen Yan’s body heat, I had a feeling that I was stepping on empty feet, staring at him in disbelief, my mood was unconsciously heavier.
Probably because I was uncomfortable looking at him, Fu Shen Yan slowly lifted his eyes and met my gaze.
The eyes do not lie, and in the second that I looked at them, I was almost certain that Fu Shen Yan was hiding something else in his heart, but it was something that he would never want me to know.
I knew for a second that there was nothing more I could ask from him.
