Black-bellied vs. Black-bellied: Ultimate Showdown

The next day, Qi Yu woke up very early, took Fu Yansheng to the Westin without having breakfast.

It was only 7:30 when they arrived at the hotel. The two sat in the lobby and counted the time. When it was two minutes to 8:00, Qi Yu immediately got up and went to press the elevator.

At the door of Qi Yuancheng's room, Qi Yu sent a message to his father uncertainly: "Dad, are you up yet? I'm here."

Qi Yuancheng quickly came to open the door for him. Compared to his disheveled appearance yesterday, his father was dressed properly today.

Fu Yansheng, who was beside him, respectfully said "Dong Qi", Qi Yuancheng gave him a cold look, looked at Qi Yu and said, "It's quite on time."

Qi Yu did not dare to speak.

"Come in." Qi Yuancheng said, then turned around and walked inside.

After Qi Yu went in, she saw Jiang Ying standing by the sofa with a glass of water slowly sipping... From this look, did my mother live here last night?

"Mom?" Qi Yu called.

Jiang Ying nodded at him and smiled at Fu Yansheng who was following behind him: "Is this the 'Mr. Fu' you mentioned yesterday?"

Qi Yu was at a loss, what does "mentioned yesterday" mean? Mom was there when he was chatting with dad yesterday?

Fu Yansheng walked over and shook hands with Jiang Ying.

"Hello," the woman in front of her looked too young, Fu Yansheng hesitated a bit about what to call her, and after a pause, he introduced himself, "My name is Fu Yansheng."

Jiang Ying said politely, "Hello Xiao Fu, just call me Aunt Jiang."

Fu Yansheng: "Jiang... Auntie."

The atmosphere in the room was so strange that Qi Yu had goosebumps, especially Jiang Ying's attitude towards Fu Yansheng, which almost made Qi Yu feel that she brought Fu Yansheng out of the closet today...

Jiang Ying looked at him and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

Qi Yu: "No..."

"Okay, I'll go down to have breakfast with Xiao Fu first. You and your father can talk here." After Jiang Ying finished speaking, she gave Qi Yuancheng a meaningful look, and took Fu Yansheng to leave first.

Qi Yu didn't know what medicine was sold in his mother's gourd. Everyone left, and he was still thinking about the direction they were leaving.

"Come and sit." Qi Yuancheng's words brought him back to his senses.

Qi Yu walked to the sofa and sat down, and asked in a low voice, "Dad, when I came to see you yesterday, mother was there?"

Qi Yuancheng gave a "hm" sound, which relieved Qi Yu's first doubt.

Qi Yu said anxiously, "Why does Mom want to see Teacher Fu?"

Qi Yuancheng sneered: "She said she was a little curious about what kind of person Fu Yansheng was, who could deceive both of us, father and son."

Qi Yu was embarrassed by his father's words. While he was afraid that his relationship with Fu Yansheng would be exposed, he was also worried about his father's attitude towards yesterday's incident.

Seeing that Qi Yuancheng's eyes were a little blue, Qi Yu knew that Dad probably didn't rest well last night, so he didn't dare to ask him straight to the point if he had made up his mind, so he could only continue to detour: "I said yesterday that someone is in the Cha Si family, why is Dad the first? Time to guess it's Teacher Fu?"

Qi Yuancheng said solemnly: "When he first came to you, he asked me for the internal information of Siyuan Group, and also asked about my personal relationship with several major shareholders. At that time, I only regarded him as a better assistant. You do things, and you have also checked his background before, so you are not too defensive about him. Also in September last year, Meiwei's stock price plummeted because of the Qiu Rusong incident. Someone other than me is pushing up Meiwei's share price, Fu Yansheng asked me at the time if I knew about it, and now that I think about it, it must be he who is testing me."

Qi Yu was startled, and suddenly remembered that at that time last year, Fu Yansheng did mention to him that Meiwei's stock price was a bit abnormal.

He asked nervously, "So what is going on with Meiwei's share price? Is it related to Uncle Si?"

"Of course it doesn't matter!" Qi Yuancheng glared at him, "Didn't your classmate surnamed Zhang tell you? Fang Zhenguo sold the stock to Zhang's family, so the Zhang family should be making trouble at that time. The acquisition of Meiwei's scattered shares and the wrestling between the two parties led to the abnormal recovery of Meiwei's stock."

Qi Yu was relieved to hear this.

Seeing him like this, Qi Yuancheng felt depressed again.

Qi Yu worried: "Dad, we spent a lot of money to recover Meiwei's shares last year, right? If there is really a problem with the Si family, can we still hold on?"

This is what Qi Yuancheng worried about all night last night.

"Siyuan Group is still an industrial group with considerable profits. Si's owns 22% of the shares in Meiwei. If the Si family has an accident and cannot support it, other people will take over their shares. After this incident, I am afraid that the group will be greatly damaged, and it will also have a great impact on its future development." Qi Yuancheng looked at him while analyzing, and asked, "You asked someone to show you the information of the group through me. Is it also for this matter? Apart from telling me that something is going to happen to our company, what are your plans?"

Qi Yu told Qi Yuancheng the assumption made by Dong Min, and said, "You said that I can use Shanyu's funds. Before that, I had already gone to Xu Jing and wanted him to recover some of the project funds invested by Shanyu. To prepare for a possible crisis."

Qi Yuancheng raised his eyebrows: "Did you go to him directly?"

Qi Yu: "Well, but I didn't tell him the reason, and he didn't agree. He said he needed your instructions."

Qi Yuancheng snorted: "He will only be dizzy if he promises you."

Qi Yu was dumbfounded, silently waiting for Qi Yuancheng's next words.

Qi Yuancheng sighed and said: "yesterday, your mother also persuaded me for a long time, but she was moved by the words you said, no, she said that she wanted to see Fu Yansheng, and she also wanted to inspect and investigate for you in person. , to see if the surname Fu is worth the risk our family takes."

Qi Yu couldn't believe it: "Really?"

Qi Yuancheng glanced at him angrily, and said, "Okay, I promise you, I won't tell anyone about this, but there is one condition."

Qi Yu: "What conditions?"

Qi Yuancheng said solemnly: "Before the Si's incident, Xiao Fu can no longer follow you."

Qi Yu's expression stiffened for a moment: "Are you going to fire him?"

Qi Yuancheng: "No, I'll let him stay by my side, do chores, and do something else. If you can't deal with the Si family's affairs, don't think about it anymore. Pack up these days and go back to school early."

Qi Yu's heart was swayed by his father's words, but this was the best result he could have imagined. At this time, he never dared to ask any more questions to avoid suspicion.

He lowered his eyes and replied, "Well..."

***

Jiang Ying took Fu Yansheng to the Cantonese restaurant in the hotel, ordered some classic refreshments, and ordered a pot of jasmine tea. She looked at Fu Yansheng and said, "Let's just chat casually, don't be under any pressure."

Fu Yansheng said generously, "Well, if Auntie has anything to say, please say it."

Jiang Ying: "I asked Qi Yu's father a lot about you last night."

Fu Yansheng: "...we?"

"It's what happened before and after you came to teach Qi Yu," Jiang Ying said after changing the topic, "You should know that my father and I divorced Qi Yu many years ago, right?"

Fu Yansheng nodded: "But I also heard that you are about to remarry, congratulations."

"Thank you," Jiang Ying smiled and continued, "Qi Yu went to live abroad with his father when he was ten years old. I haven't been by his side for so many years, and I have always been a little regretful. Now I am with his father again. , I also want to know more about Qiyu. Listening to Yuancheng, Qiyu admires you very much. I met you online for a year at first. Got into a fight with his dad."

Fu Yansheng: "..." Was it the time Qiyu called him in the middle of the night on Christmas Day last year?

Jiang Ying: "Seeing that he likes you so much, Yuancheng came to see you first on his behalf. He also said that he offered you a million-dollar annual salary, but you didn't agree. He insisted that Qi Yu negotiate the terms with you in person."

Fu Yansheng: "Well..."

Jiang Ying asked with a smile, "So, what conditions did Qi Yu give you before you agreed?"

Fu Yansheng pressed his fist to his lower lip, and said, "There are no special conditions. He is already very good. I actually did that to train him to make up his own mind."

Jiang Ying: "Really? Where do you think he is good?"

"Smart, eager to learn, responsible, a little proud, but very considerate..." Fu Yansheng said, with a touch of uncontrollable emotion in his eyes, and his voice softened unconsciously, " He's fine everywhere."

Jiang Ying: "Do you like him?"

Fu Yansheng: "..."

Fu Yansheng came back to his senses and said, "No one doesn't like someone like him."

The waiter brought tea, Jiang Ying raised the teapot and wanted to pour tea for Fu Yansheng, Fu Yansheng hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Auntie, I'll do it myself."

Jiang Ying turned the handle of the pot to him and asked, "Do you live together in California?"

Fu Yansheng paused and said calmly, "Well, Qi Yu rented a two-bedroom, one-bedroom apartment in California."

Possibly realizing that the sentence "He's good everywhere" was a bit sloppy, after pouring tea for both of them, Fu Yansheng looked at Jiang Ying and said sternly, "Qi Yu looks more like you."

Jiang Ying lowered her eyes and drank tea with a smile: "His personality is a bit like his father, he is strong and refuses to admit defeat."

Fu Yansheng also smiled lightly and said, "He is still a little childish occasionally."

Jiang Ying: "childish?"

Fu Yansheng: "When I first met him, I felt that he was just a child, pestering me to chat with him every day... But he has matured a lot this year."

Jiang Ying: "Grow up."

Fu Yansheng: "His identity must grow as soon as possible, otherwise he will suffer in the future."

Jiang Ying: "You are very good at teaching people."

Fu Yansheng: "I just told him what I know. He is very understanding and understands it at one point."

At this time, the waiter came to serve again, and several baskets of classic Hong Kong-style dim sum such as pearl shrimp dumplings, glutinous rice siu mai and fresh bamboo rolls were placed on the table one by one.

Jiang Ying gestured to Fu Yansheng to start, and then asked, "What's your plan in the future?"

When Fu Yansheng heard this, the hand that had just picked up the chopsticks froze again.

Jiang Ying said, "I heard that your contract with Qi Yu has only been signed for two years. Do you want to stay with him in the future?"

Fu Yansheng said in a low voice, "When he matures a bit, maybe he won't need me..."

Jiang Ying ate some shaomai and continued, "Qiyu has a twin brother named Qi Feng, did you know?"

Fu Yansheng: "I saw you during the holiday last year."

"I still remember that they were rushing to sleep with me when they were two children. Every time Qi Feng shouted, 'I want to sleep with my mother', and then rushed over to grab the best position. Qi Yu didn't say anything on the surface, but always told him The younger brother's performance looked disgusting, but when he was about to fall asleep, he would come over like a kitten and stick to me more than his younger brother..." Jiang Ying said these words with a gentle smile on her face, she took the serving chopsticks. He gave Fu Yansheng a shrimp dumpling, raised his eyes and said, "Actually, no matter how mature Qi Yu is, he is still an extremely insecure child in essence."

Qi Yu: Is the abnormal share price of Meiwei related to Uncle Si?

Qi Yuancheng: No! Damn, I've never seen a kid who always suspects that I'm doing something wrong! It's really so big! Xiao Fu confiscated! You can't let him blow your ears every day! If you keep blowing it, can you still put my father in your eyes?
