I Want A Lifetime With You

I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 51

Shi Nuan shook her head and realized that Fu Chengyan couldn’t see her through the phone. On second thought, it was rare to see him this way. But he was Fu Chengyan! Think about his scandals in Jiang City! Shi Nuan felt it made sense.

Everything would make sense if she reminded herself of Fu Chengyan’s capability as the owner of a listed company. “No.”

Fu Chengyan smiled, “Thank goodness you’re not scared.”

“By the way, why did you call me?” Shi Nuan didn’t forget that Fu Chengyan made the call.

Fu Chengyan squinted his eyes and stayed silent for a while. “I want to know where you want to eat after work.”

Shi Nuan was speechless as his had put aside important business to call her on such small matter. “Allow me to remind you that you’re at work, Mr. Fu.”

“Hah! I’m the boss.” Fu Chengyan could almost picture Shi Nuan’s expression at the other end of the phone.

“But I’m not! I need to work!” Shi Nuan gritted her teeth.

“You’re my lady boss.” Fu Chengyan spoke casually, totally different from before.

Shi Nuan bit her lips in amazement at the sudden mood change of the man. It was hard to relate him with that stern voice earlier.

“Of course, if you’re willing, .”

Fu Chengyan frowned at Shi Nuan’s silence, “You don’t want to talk?”

“I have nothing to say since you have said everything.” Shi Nuan spoke dejectedly. “I’m easy-going with food, anything is fine for me.”

“No way!” Fu Chengyan furrowed his brow, “You have to change your eating habits now that you’re with me. Shall I fetch you later?”

“Never mind! You don’t have to fetch me. It’s so far away.” Shi Nuan rejected his offer immediately.

“Hmm?” Fu Chengyan tilted his eyebrow, “Am I an embarrassment to you?”

“No!” Shi Nuan bit her lips. “You know that’s not what I meant. We’re too far away from each other. It’s a waste of time for you to come here in peak hours.” Shi Nuan made a suggestion, “Why don’t we meet at a center point? I want to eat braised fish and sweet and sour pork”

“What do you want to eat? Shall I make it for you?” Shi Nuan thought about him.

Fu Chengyan was delighted with her suggestion. He saw Zhou Zheng at his door as he lifted his eyes. He signaled him to wait for a moment.

Zhou Zheng knew that Fu Chengyan was speaking to Shi Nuan on the phone, so he turned towards the head of financial department, Liu Jiang, “Mr. Fu wants us to wait.”

“Sure! I’m not in a rush!” Mr. Liu nodded hurriedly but screamed inside. He wished that Fu Chengyan would forget about him if he was busy.

But he had such good memory, Fu Chengyan would never forget about him.

“Okay, we’ll meet at Shengyun after work if you want to eat there. Let me know when you’re off from work.”

“Okay!” Shi Nuan hung up immediately and stared at the person standing in front of her, “General Manager Fu is looking for me?”

Meanwhile, Fu Chengyan hung up the phone and rubbed the phone screen with his long fingers. After a while, he kept his smile away and asked his visitors in.

Zhou Zheng brought Liu Jiang in, “Mr. Fu, Mr. Liu is here.”

“Okay.” Fu Chengyan glanced at Zhou Zheng and he knew the meaning, “Please excuse me, I need to attend to some matters.”

Fu Chengyan stared at Mr. Liu who was sitting on the sofa casually as he threw away his phone after Zhou Zheng left the room. Mr. Liu broke in a sweat as he was told by someone that Secretary Li from the Secretariat office was taken away by Zhou Zheng as well.

He was terrified along the way as Fu Chengyan had never spared him. The journey from the financial department to the President’s office was enough for him to consider every possible way to save himself.

But he couldn’t say anything as Fu Chengyan merely stared at him in silence.

Fu Chengyan was someone with very deep thought and even the senior staffs would not go against his decisions even if they had opposing view. That would mean to engage enmity with the strongest influence in Jiang City.

Most of the rumors were actually facts.

Mr. Liu tried to peek from his bowed head, but he dared not look at Fu Chengyan directly.

Fu Chengyan glared at the silent Mr. Liu and asked, “Have you counted the time, Mr. Liu?”

“What?” Mr. Liu stared at Fu Chengyan in confusion, “What do you mean, President Fu?”

“Your time is up.” Fu Chengyan tapped his fingers on the table and scared Mr. Liu badly. Mr. Liu was petrified even the tapping was not loud.

“You have ten minutes to explain or admit to your mistakes, but you chose to remain silent.” Fu Chengyan slid his hands into his pockets and asked, “How much did he pay you?” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“What? No one gave me anything!” Mr. Liu took out his handkerchief to wipe his forehead.

“Really?” Fu Chengyan raised his eyebrows and sat on his table nonchalantly. But his strong and oppressive aura was a pressure to Mr. Liu.

“Yes, President Fu! Why did you ask for me? I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

“What an impeccable answer!” Fu Chengyan’s face turned dark in a sudden. He threw a cold stare at Mr. Liu.

“How much did Fu Renjiang offer you to do this?”

“President Fu.” Mr. Liu raised his head as he didn’t expect Fu Chengyan’s to have any knowledge on the person behind him. “I don’t understand, Mr. Jiang didn’t…”

“Really?” Fu Chengyan pulled up a piece of document from a stack near where he stood, “I’m don’t want an explanation. You’re probably ignorant of my temper, but you’re destined to face termination.”

“President Fu!” Mr. Liu’s legs gave way and almost knelt down, “I’m sorry! I had to do it for my family. I’m the head of the financial department and you have got to give me the credit for my guts to take up this job. I have to this as I have no choice. I needed that extra money for my mother’s heart surgery.”

Fu Chengyan glared at Mr. Liu coldly, “You didn’t cherish the time I gave you for an explanation.” He called Zhou Zheng’s extension and the latter entered soon enough, “Master Chengyan, Secretary Li had confessed to the fake ledgers that you have never seen before. Hence, everything went well for some time.”

“You’ve been doing this for a long time then?” Fu Chengyan smiled.

“It’s my fault, Mr. Fu! I was tempted by Mr. Jiang and made a grave mistake, but I had to do it to save my mother. I can’t afford to lose my job!” Mr. Liu knelt down immediately.

Fu Chengyan waved his hand and Zhou Zheng went towards Mr. Liu, “Master Chengyan, I have lodge a police report and the police will be here soon.”

Mr. Liu slumped onto the floor with a pale face, “I’m doomed! Everything’s is over!”

“It’s not too late.” Zhou Zheng said.Mr. Liu stood up right away, “Can you help me, Mr. Zhou?”

Zhou Zheng squinted his eyes, “A smart guy like you must’ve kept a backup file.”

“Yes, I did! I was afraid that it would be exposed someday, so…” Mr. Liu was a smart man who knew how to cover his back. “I’m willing to hand them over if you spare me, Mr. Fu!”

Fu Chengyan shot a cold glance at Mr. Liu, “You’ve made a big mistake to have threatened me.”

“Mr. Fu…”

“Zhou Zheng, take him away. He needs to think through his next moves.”

“Yes, Master Chengyan!” Zhou Zheng shook his head sympathetically at Mr. Liu.

He knew about Fu Chengyan’s style at work after all these years. The only person who got to threaten someone was always him.

He assumed that Mr. Liu had gone haywire, “Follow me, Mr. Liu.”

“No! I’m not leaving! Mr. Fu, are you sure you’re not interested about what I have to offer? It’s the deadliest weapon to put Mr. Jiang down.”

“I want it, but you don’t have the right to make any requests. You have to play by my rules.” He could see cruelty and coldness in Fu Chengyan’s eyes.

Mr. Liu stared at Fu Chengyan in despair and realized that he didn’t earn his nickname as the Cold- faced Hades in vain.
