On New Year's Day, after Fu Xiaoyu woke up, the first call she received was from Tangning.
"Xiao Yu, are you still busy with work today? It's New Year's Day, why don't you just take a day off and Auntie will take you and Dad to eat seafood together?"
Fu Xiaoyu snuggled up under the covers and said sullenly, "Auntie, I...
" Combined with the long-distance flight of the day and the things he encountered in the company, he suffered from headaches almost all day long, took melatonin at night to barely fall asleep, and felt very uncomfortable until he woke up.
Hearing Tangning ask him so gently at this time, for a moment, he almost blurted out his answer.
"I have a company dinner today." But
he immediately calmed down and said, "You and Dad go to eat, and I will ask the assistant to set up a good seat for you."
"Okay. Then you have to have fun."
Tangning didn't push him any further. She paused and said softly, "Xiao Yu, Auntie knew that Dad was wrong yesterday. No matter what, she shouldn't have gone to your company to make trouble, let alone hit you."
Fu Xiaoyu just listened quietly. , the female alpha over there immediately continued: "Dad hit you, but he regretted it in his heart. When he told me last night, he also looked sullen. You heard from auntie that he actually missed you. You also know that after you graduated, you can count the number of times you came back on one hand, and this time there is such a misunderstanding. Although he is sad, he is unwilling to bow his head to you... Well, Ah Jing is just too impatient, Xiaoyu, don't be angry with Dad, and come back to accompany him whenever you have time. Seeing you like this, Auntie feels uncomfortable, okay?"
"Auntie, I'm not angry."
Fu Xiaoyu finally said in a hoarse voice: "You Don't worry about the two of us, I'm really just too busy with work, I'll try to find time to go home."
"Good boy." Tangning said, "Pay attention to your health, and call auntie if you need something."
Fu Xiaoyu hung up the phone, The whole person is curled up in the quilt——
In fact, he probably already guessed it.
Tangning must have called because Fu Jing was sad and had complained to her, so she wanted to try her best to mend their relationship.
But even if he guessed it, he was still willing to listen patiently to Tangning's words, and was willing to be soft and obedient to Tangning.
Tangning is an impeccable alpha, who quietly raises her family and loves her omega; she is also a perfect stepmother, who never beats or scolds him, remembers that he loves seafood, and will prepare a big cake for him on his birthday.
He is not only grateful to her, but also really likes her.
It's just that since he was a child, every time he realized that Tangning's love for him was actually because of his love for Fu Jing, he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
...
Because her body was not very comfortable, Fu Xiaoyu dressed very thickly today. She chose a milky white soft sweater with gray gradient stripes around the neck; she wore a Canada Goose down jacket over the sweater, and the wrists were still That diamond blue dial Rolex.
He doesn't have many famous watches, so he often wears this one for both business and leisure occasions.
Although she had her own purpose, but this was the New Year after all, Fu Xiaoyu picked a bottle of very high-end white horse red wine from the wine cabinet as a souvenir.
As soon as he arrived at Wen Ke's house, he was welcomed in by the hospitable omega.
"Wow, it's freezing outside today—come inside to warm up!" Wen Ke took the red wine, apparently in a good mood, and said with a smile, "All the ingredients for the hot pot are ready, and I'm just waiting for you to start the fire!"
As soon as Fu Xiaoyu took off her down jacket, she wanted to deal with business immediately.
But seeing Wen Ke so enthusiastically and purely happy for the New Year's Eve dinner, I always feel that it seems really unreasonable to look for Han Jiangque so seriously without even eating.
He hesitated for a moment, and then saw Han Jiangque and Xu Jiale sitting on the sofa in the living room watching the nba together attentively. After thinking about it, he decided to finish the meal first before talking with Han Jiangque in private.
When Han Jiangque saw him, although his eyes were a bit complicated, he immediately greeted him as usual.
On the other hand, when Xu Jiale walked past him, he suddenly stopped, glanced up and down at the sweater on his body, then smiled slightly, and walked away as if nothing had happened.
Everyone quickly sat around the dining table, and the butter hot pot was boiling hot, exuding a rich aroma.
Wen Ke filled the sauce for everyone and said, "Chef Xu made this himself, how does it taste! Xiaoyu, do you want oil dish or sesame sauce?"
Oil dish, fat.
Sesame sauce, fatter.
Few people are aware of the calories contained in sesame sauce, but Fu Xiaoyu is very clear. He thought for a while before saying, "I don't want sauce."
When he was speaking, Xu Jiale, who was sitting beside him, glanced at him again.
Fu Xiaoyu instinctively felt that Xu Jiale was looking at his sweater again, and he was suddenly confused -
what does Xu Jiale mean?
He has always been very good at dressing up. Could it be that he is in a bad state today and doesn't even dress properly?
Fu Xiaoyu didn't expect that at such a preoccupied moment, he would still find time to care about this trivial matter, it's simply unbelievable.
After boiling the pot, Han Jiangque was concentrating on boiling mutton for Wen Ke, while Xu Jiale and Wen Ke chatted about family topics. They talked about Xu Jiale's ex-husband taking their children to a cruise ship for New Year's Eve, so they didn't come to reunite with him.
Xu Jiale was lazy, but he didn't seem too disappointed, he just said that he missed Xiao Nanyi.
Fu Xiaoyu listened to their chat while thinking about the sweater, peeling the freshly cooked big tiger prawns in his hands, unexpectedly, he was distracted, his fingers suddenly felt sharp pain, and he couldn't help but softly "hiss".
His hand was punctured by the tiger prawn's foot, he squeezed it, a few drops of blood oozed from his index finger, he quickly took out a tissue and pressed it.
It was quite painful. The tiger prawns were boiled in a hot pot and still stained with red oil. It was very irritating. His finger was broken, so he must not be able to peel it anymore.
He can't eat shrimp.
Fu Xiaoyu was a little depressed, but she didn't tell anyone, she just planned to give up silently.
He picked up his chopsticks and wanted to grab some vegetables from the chicken soup pot, but suddenly felt Xu Jiale touch his hand.
He was a little surprised, when he lowered his head, he suddenly found that Xu Jiale had dropped their plates just at that moment.
Now the plate in front of him was filled with five or six large tiger prawns that had been peeled off their shells.
Han Jiangque and Wen Ke on the opposite side of the table didn't notice what was happening here. Xu Jiale's movements were so fast and natural that Fu Xiaoyu didn't even have time to feel the suddenness.
He was stunned for a while, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't hold back, picked up the shrimp with his chopsticks and ate it—
it was so delicious.
The plump and sweet prawns are soaked in the aroma of hot pot with butter, and the texture and taste are perfect.
In fact, he really likes to eat seafood such as shrimp, crab and scallop. It is high in protein and low in fat, and the burden of eating is the least.
Fu Xiaoyu was actually quite hungry. I didn't eat too much yesterday and this morning.
At the beginning of eating, it was so delicious that I couldn't even take care of the embarrassment, and ate it wholeheartedly.
Xu Jiale, on the other hand, chatted with Wen Ke enthusiastically about how Nan Yi started writing love letters to his beautiful friends in the same class when he was in the top class of the kindergarten. Although they had a good chat, his subordinates did not delay. Another peeled one is completely unlimited supply.
Later, Fu Xiaoyu really felt a little hot in the face, so she wiped her hands and picked up the wine glass, drinking slowly on purpose, one sip at a time, in the hope that Xu Jiale would also eat two.
But I didn't expect Alpha to see that he didn't eat, so he directly moved the plate back to his place as if nothing had happened, and then... just left him completely aside, and finished eating the shrimp by himself.
"..." Fu Xiaoyu couldn't bear it anymore, and took another look at Xu Jiale, seeing that Alpha really didn't intend to peel him any more, so he went to pick up the vegetables sullenly.
He is thin-skinned yet strong.
It was the first time to eat someone else's shrimp, so of course I would never say "can you give me two more shrimps" out of my mouth.
It's so embarrassing, so I'll hold back anyway.
...
After eating and drinking, Xu Jiale volunteered to clean up the dishes on the table, while Wen Ke went to the kitchen to wash some fruits for everyone.
Of course, the timing was just right, Fu Xiaoyu stood up directly and walked in front of Han Jiangque and said, "Han Jiangque, I have something important to discuss with you in private."
He emphasized the two words "important" and "private". Words, of course, in order not to give Alpha any chance to dodge,
Han Jiangque looked up at him, showing a hesitant expression.
But Xu Jiale who was on the side had already looked over, so he got up and said, "Go to the room and talk." As soon as
the door was closed, Han Jiangque whispered vigilantly: "Xiao Yu, Wen Ke is still at home, you shouldn't Come here to talk about this."
There was displeasure in his eyes.
Of course, what he cared most about was Wen Ke.
Even if he had anticipated the fierce dispute with himself, what he was most worried about was nothing but fear of being heard by Wen Ke.
Before Fu Xiaoyu opened her mouth, she already felt her chest was constricted and she couldn't breathe.
He took a deep breath and said straight to the point: "Han Jiangque, I'm here because you deliberately took advantage of my business trip in Europe to force the board of directors to pass a proposal that I disagree with. After I came back because of this, you refused See me, but refuse to reply to my message. Tell me, do you think your current behavior is a qualified boss?"
"I know you are not happy."
Han Jiangque is 192 in height, and he is also in alpha Extremely tall.
But when he was being trained by Fu Xiaoyu, he was used to it, and he couldn't help lowering his head slightly.
"Xiao Yu, I pass behind your back because I know you don't agree. But I have to do it—really, I've already told you, I'm done with this matter, so I asked the manager from the Han family to go Dealing with the acquisition case will not take up your time. You are still your CEO, and you have full authority to manage the acquisition case. You, you don't want to stop me..."
"You think what I care about is Time?"
Fu Xiaoyu's voice raised involuntarily: "I refused the proposal not because I was too lazy to do it, don't you understand? Acquiring Yunfeng is a lose-lose business, I know what you really want to do—you just want to It is not hesitating to use the Zhuo family's handle to avenge Wen Ke, or even take risks with the future of the im group. I am here today to tell you officially - I disagree."
He said word by word: "Han Jiang Que, I want you to call now and order the board of directors to withdraw the resolution."
He said, taking a step forward to stare at Han Jiangque, threatening Alpha from too close a distance, without giving Han Jiangque any chance to dodge.
Numerous successful experiences in the past told him that Han Jiangque was an alpha who was not so determined and domineering. As long as he became tough, he was invincible in front of Han Jiangque.
He will get what he wants.
Han Jiangque took a step back almost in embarrassment.
He hesitated for a few seconds, but then, as if he had made up his mind secretly, he stood up straight and looked down at Fu Xiaoyu, and then said: "Whether you agree or not, the acquisition will continue as usual. I am the boss of the im group, and I You have the power to make decisions, so don’t come to me to negotiate with me again because of this matter. You are my CEO, and you implement the decisions I make. If you don’t want to take care of this proposal, then I will send someone to implement it. If you don't get it, don't interfere."
Fu Xiaoyu didn't back down, but asked instead: "Han Jiangque, what if I must interfere?"
"Don't force me to dismiss you."
Han Jiangque took a deep breath He took a breath and said softly.
Fu Xiaoyu stared at the tall alpha with wide eyes, and almost doubted her ears for a moment.
"Xiao Yu...you are my friend."
Perhaps because of seeing the sadness in his eyes, Han Jiangque's tone gradually softened, almost begging for mercy: "All along, what do you want to do, No matter how big the risk is, how much money is lost, I support everything; but now I only want to do this one thing - to avenge Wen Ke, that's all. You know how much he suffered because of that bastard, I , I really... have no choice but to let those things go like this. Xiaoyu, you can leave me alone, okay?"
"Han Jiangque, why can you say it so lightly? Is this just 'one thing'?"
Fu Xiaoyu's voice was hoarse, and he couldn't restrain himself. He gritted his teeth and said, "I know you hate Zhuo Yuan. But it's fine if you mess with Zhuo Yuan. It's okay to give Dong Lin a dark loss, but what are you doing now? Even the backstage of the Zhuo family wants to collapse? Do you know that the uncle of the Zhuo family is not easy to provoke, how many people are now checking me and im, who is responsible for the case of Xihe will soon be unable to hide, b The city is not the domain of your Han family. If you do something like this, will Uncle Han let you take care of it if he finds out?
"Han Jiangque, you understand, I really don't care what Wen Ke has suffered. Have you ever suffered? What's more, it's already in the past tense, and he has got everything now. But im is the result of my hard work with you, this is what I care about! "
Although Fu Xiaoyu tried his best to calm himself down, he knew that the focus of today was to convince Han Jiangque, a stubborn ass, that he should calm down.
He knew it shouldn't be like this, he really knew it, but he couldn't help it.
Wen Ke was deceived by Zhuo Yuan, and after ten years of painful married life, he could occasionally even see the mottled and brutal tooth marks on the neck of Omega.
He actually knows how much omega has suffered.
It's just that maybe he really hated Wen Ke subconsciously because of these things, so he purposely got angry and said that omega's suffering was worthless.
"Fu Xiaoyu!"
Han Jiangque almost roared at him.
The pheromone of the s-level alpha was so violent when it was furious, even he was strongly oppressed, and had to take half a step back uncomfortably.
Han Jiangque's eyes were bloodshot, and the expression on his face gradually changed from anger to disappointment and sadness: "You said you are my friend, but you seem to only need my funds and platform, I When I listen to you, I am your friend. When I don't listen to you, I am nothing. Fu Xiaoyu, you always know that I am stupid, and I don't really care about the money and status of the Han family; you also know... I have been waiting for Wen Ke for ten years, I..."
He said this, almost incoherent in pain, finally took a deep breath, and said softly: "Forget it, you don't really care what I want. Fu Xiaoyu, you only care Your own interests."
Fu Xiaoyu, you only care about your own interests.
The moment I heard this sentence, I felt like I was hit hard.
Fu Xiaoyu stood there blankly for a long time, not even knowing how to refute.
At that moment, he even lost the motivation to defend.
"Yes. I just care about—"
He raised his head stubbornly, really unable to continue.
Finally, with red eyes, he said: "Han Jiangque, let me say it again for the last time, every step you take now is playing with fire. If you let yourself go out of control like this, I will not help you to go to the Han family again." Conceal what you want to do here, and you will be responsible for the consequences."
After he finished speaking, he rushed out of the room without looking back, walked quickly to the coat tower at the gate, took off his down jacket, and put it on If you are on your body, you will leave.
Both Wen Ke and Xu Jiale were standing outside, probably hearing their movements, Wen Ke hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and asked with concern: "Xiao Yu, what's the matter with you?"
"Sorry, I have something to do, I'm leaving first "
Fu Xiaoyu couldn't hide her emotions at all.
When he looked at Wen Ke, he suddenly realized that he was far more sad than he imagined.
In Han Jiangque's eyes, he was already a selfish and vicious person, and Han Jiangque couldn't even be blamed for this.
Although he has always been a subordinate of the largest shareholder Han Jiangque, when they talk, he is often the one who occupies the position of the superior.
Sometimes Han Jiangque did something wrong, and he was basically treated the same as Wang Xiaoshan in front of him.
He was used to this, but during the fierce quarrel today, when he saw Han Jiangque's sad and frustrated look in front of him, his heart suddenly trembled violently -
Han Jiangque would not be wronged like this in front of Wen Ke.
He was scolded harshly and was reprimanded with his head bowed.
It is also because of this that he is so attached to the gentle and beautiful Wen Ke.
He really lived himself like a villain in a movie, and his self-loathing reached the peak, so that he could no longer stay here and face Wen Ke.
Fu Xiaoyu turned her head and slammed the door with a "bang".
Tibetan fox! I'll let you out tomorrow night!
