The ultimate teasing of a fishing beauty

Chapter 231 Unnamed Draft

However, thanks to his years of experience as an idol, his expression almost never lost control, and he quickly returned to normal: "It's normal that Mr. Fu hasn't heard of me. I'm just an insignificant person in Zhou's company."

Fu Xiuyan did not miss the disappointment and unwillingness that flashed across his eyes when he mentioned Zhou.

"Zhou..." Fu Xiuyan said calmly, "I don't think I've ever heard of the Zhou family in Jinghai City."

"Mr. Fu has a lot of things to do, and Cheng Yan has cooperated with countless companies. It's inevitable that you can't remember them all. We are not from Jinghai City, but from the Zhou Group in Country K. The Zhou Group that is interested in expanding into China recently."

"cooperate?"

"Yes, my father said it seems that Mr. Ying from your company is in charge."

Fu Xiuyan smiled in a way that Zhou Xiangchen couldn't understand: "It seems that Mr. Zhou is the one who is marginalized at home."

Zhou Xiangchen felt a prick in his heart by Fu Xiuyan, but he didn't get angry. He just smiled bitterly: "I can't hide anything from Mr. Fu. I have many brothers and sisters at home. I'm not very interested in doing business, otherwise why would I come to the entertainment industry?"

"In my opinion, Mr. Zhou must be particularly interested in business. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to talk to me about the Zhou Group, and he wouldn't have suddenly traveled to a foreign country a few years ago."

Zhou Xiangchen wanted to explain, but Fu Xiuyan spoke again, "Don't tell me you left the country because you couldn't make it in the domestic entertainment industry. With your professional abilities, becoming a big star is only a matter of time. It doesn't matter where you are. I guess your original purpose of leaving the country wasn't to debut there, right? You only did it out of necessity."

Zhou Xiangchen was stunned for only a moment, but soon he was relieved and spoke to Fu Xiuyan with a much easier tone. "Mr. Gu is indeed very discerning. After just a few words with you, you were able to accurately deduce my situation. It's true that being a singer and dancer isn't what I want to do. But this is the only way. There are more suitable successors at home, and I don't want to cause unrest at home. Fortunately, I'm doing well now, isn't it?"

Fu Xiuyan sneered, "Mr. Zhou behaves with integrity. But you should also take a look at the dark hearts hidden beneath your family's harmonious facade. Are they worthy of Mr. Zhou's sincerity?"

Zhou Xiangchen's expression changed: "Mr. Fu, although I admire you very much, please don't slander my family."

"Oh? Slander?" Fu Xiuyan looked at Zhou Xiangchen as if he were a fool and said, "The lover you've been married to for three years was arranged by your family, right?"

Zhou Xiangchen didn't expect him to say this suddenly. His acting should have been flawless, so why could Fu Xiuyan see through it at a glance?

But he still gritted his teeth and persisted, but he was no longer confident. "What does Mr. Fu say? In a family like ours, marriage is an alliance, so it is naturally arranged by the elders."

"Really?" Fu Xiuyan sneered: "I thought you were a smart and talented person, but I didn't expect you to be a fool." If Xia Xia hadn't come out yet, he really didn't bother to waste another word with this person.

Zhou Xiangchen was extremely angry and his face turned red.

Fu Xiuyan jokingly said, "Ah, I almost forgot to tell you that we don't have anyone with the surname Ying in charge at Chengyan Headquarters right now. It's truly pitiful that Master Zhou has been deceived to this point."

Zhou Xiangchen's face was filled with disbelief. Impossible. His father and eldest brother had clearly told him that Cheng Yan's boss, Ying, could help them penetrate the domestic market. All they needed was a small favor: bring his relative's child to the domestic entertainment industry. He could use his influence. After two years, when Shen Qinghuan had established herself in the domestic entertainment industry, they could complete the divorce procedures. He'd seen this kind of thing happen a lot in the industry. This was the fastest and most direct way to gain traffic, and it would also help the family business. He agreed immediately.

But now Fu Xiuyan said that Chengyan didn't have a person in charge named Ying? How could that be possible? Chengyan was originally part of the Ying family's business.

"One more thing." Fu Xiuyan glanced vaguely behind Zhou Xiangchen and said, "Mr. Zhou, you should first find out the true identity of your 'newlywed' lover. If you can't even figure out your lover's name, I can understand why your father didn't choose you as the successor to the Zhou family."

Zhou Xiangchen turned his head and looked behind him, and sure enough, he saw Shen Qinghuan looking in this direction, but the distance was a bit far, so he couldn't see Shen Qinghuan's expression clearly.

Xia Yang just came out and put his freshly washed hand into Fu Xiuyan's palm. Fu Xiuyan almost wrapped his cold hand in his own the moment Xia Yang touched him. Xia Yang acted as if he didn't see Zhou Xiangchen and said to Fu Xiuyan, "Go home."

"Okay, let's go home." Fu Xiuyan's good mood was instantly reflected on his face when Xia Yang appeared. Zhou Xiangchen was completely attracted by Xia Yang's eyes.

Fu Xiuyan took half a step forward, firmly blocking Zhou Xiangchen's gaze from looking at Xia Yang.

"I'm sorry." Zhou Xiangchen bowed his head and apologized. His behavior was too rude. "I didn't mean to do that. It's just that, your lover's eyes look familiar to me. I really didn't mean to offend you. Please forgive me."

Zhou Xiangchen's apology was sincere, and his eyes just now were indeed full of surprise, which was why Fu Xiuyan only blocked his sight and did nothing else.

"She's just an imitator who can't even be called a fake. How can she look familiar to Master Zhou?" Fu Xiuyan's tone was full of undisguised mockery.

"What exactly does Mr. Fu want to say?" Zhou Xiangchen frowned.

"Nothing. I just feel that blindly compromising will get you nothing. If you want family harmony, even if it's just superficial harmony, you have to have a say. With power, they will naturally act out whatever you want to see to please you."

Zhou Xiangchen's fists gradually clenched.

Before turning to leave, Fu Xiuyan added, "In my opinion, a family like ours is only as safe as holding the power of speech in our own hands. Otherwise, we'll be at the mercy of others. If Young Master Zhou is determined to make further progress, I, Fu, might consider helping him. Otherwise, the Zhou family's decades-long foundation may be in jeopardy. I hope the Zhou family won't regret the consequences of worshipping the wrong god."

The cold and murderous aura in the last sentence almost made Zhou Xiangchen lose his balance.

"Do you know Fu Xiuyan?" A sinister voice came from behind.

Zhou Xiangchen instantly suppressed his emotions and turned into his usual cold expression: "Is there anyone else who doesn't recognize him?"

"But you talked for a long time, it doesn't seem like the first time you met. What did you say? Did he ask me?" Shen Qinghuan asked anxiously.

Zhou Xiangchen glanced at him calmly: "Are you questioning me?"

"I......"

"Make sure you know your identity. This is not a public place." Zhou Xiangchen started to walk away.

"How dare you talk to me like that? Don't forget, I'm Mr. Ying..."

"Oh, then you go tell him."
