Chapter 29
Ignoring Fu Jingting’s dark and sullen face, Cheng Huai asked again, “You asked someone to send Mango to Tiansheng, what was that about?”
Fu Jingting wrinkled his brows, “I didn’t ask anyone to send Mango to Tiansheng.”
After learning from Cheng Huai that Wang Shuqin had scolded Rong Shu over the mangoes, Fu Jingting’s face grew sour and he called Four Seasons Orchard to ask about it.
When the person in charge there checked, he apologized: “Sorry, Mr. Fu, the dispatcher didn’t know about your divorce, he thought Miss Rong Shu was still your wife, so he sent the mangoes to Miss Rong’s company, I’m really sorry.”
Fu Jingting turned on the amplified sound, Cheng Huai who was sitting opposite also heard it, “Hey Rong Shu is really miserable, being scolded by your mother.”
“……” Fu Jingting pinched his brow, his heart was also annoyed.
He didn’t expect anyone to have the audacity to secretly film him at the Red Plum Villa, and he didn’t expect Wang Shuqin to run to Tian Sheng to find Rong Shu to make a scene because of a box of mangoes that had been delivered by mistake.
After the waiter finished serving the food and went out, Fu Jingting asked Cheng Huai, “Has Rongshu talked to Yutu’s people?”
“Yes, Rongshu went to visit Yutu’s factory on Thursday.”
Cheng Huai even praised Rongshu, “I think even if you didn’t say hello to Yutu in advance, with Rongshu’s eloquence, they would still be willing to help her with that batch of goods, although she’s only just entered the mall, she’s a quick learner and quite good.”
“Is that so?” Fu Jingting suddenly felt that it wasn’t that he knew little about Rong Shu, but that he hadn’t paid any attention to her at all.
He had been married to Rong Shu for six years, and all that was within his reach was the image of her being busy in the Fu household.
Rongshu would make delicious meals for him to eat when he returned, she would iron his suits, and she was a competent wife.
I didn’t expect that apart from taking care of the household, Rongshu was also excellent in other areas.
Cheng Huai shrugged, “You’ll see for yourself next time, you’ll know, this ex-wife of yours is indeed quite good.”
“But Brother Ting, I’m puzzled, isn’t Zongshi going to sign with Tiansheng, why are you still introducing Yutu for her?” Cheng Huai asked, “In this way, you owe Yutu a favour, and Yutu will definitely annoy you with this favour in the future.”
“This overseas order is important to the faltering Tiansheng.” Fu Jingting ate his food, his expression unruffled, “Zhongsi is good at making overseas goods, but it’s not as good as Yutu, nor is it as famous as Yutu. If Tiansheng can capture Yutu and work with Yutu for a long time, there is no need for Tiansheng to go around begging, the partners will come to the door themselves and send money to Tiansheng.”
“Why does it sound wrong to me?” Cheng Huai rubbed his chin, “Is Brother Ting developing contacts for your ‘ex-wife’?”
Fu Jingting was silent for a moment and said lightly, “When she got divorced, she got out of the house, she didn’t even want the house, so this is my compensation for her.”
“Then your compensation is too shabby, she stayed in your family for six years.” Cheng Huai, “If I were Rong Shu, I would have been used by your mother every day for the past six years, and I would have felt that a billion dollars was too little ……”
Not waiting for Cheng Huai to finish spitting, Fu Jingting fiercely put his chopsticks down and grabbed the suit jacket on the back of the chair, “I’m going back to the company.”
Cheng Huai watched the man open the door and leave, shouting, “I’m telling the truth, Ting you don’t like to hear it?”
What he got in response was the door to the private room being slammed shut with force.
“Just slam it, it’s not like I’m paying for the broken door anyway.” Cheng Huai shrugged his shoulders and also called the waiter in and ordered quite a few more dishes.
……
The incident of Wang Shuqin coming to Tiansheng to make trouble was quietly recorded on video by Tiansheng’s employees and circulated in the circle.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
There were even people who said that Rong Shu had been with the male model from Fan Yin Entertainment, cheating on her within the marriage, and was found out by Fu Jingting before the divorce was finalised.
All kinds of conspiracy theories were rampant in the business circle.
Rongshu didn’t have time to pay attention to those frivolous gossips, she took care of the company’s business and went to Nanjiang on Thursday.
Yutu’s factory is located in an industrial base in Nanjiang, covering a very large area.
After saying hello to Yutu’s boss, Rongshu went with him to visit the workshop, watch the workers making overseas goods and see those overseas goods they made. From lunchtime until the afternoon, both parties signed the contract at two o’clock.
When she saw Yutu’s seal land on the contract, a relaxed smile appeared on Rongshu’s face as well.
She shook hands with Yutu’s boss, “This batch of goods will be hard for you, it’s almost New Year’s Eve, I’ll have my secretary send some New Year’s goods to you and the workers by then.”
“I should, you’re welcome, Mr. Rong.”
Rongshu politely declined the invitation to dinner from Yutu’s boss and bought a 3pm ticket.
She returned to the city at 4:30 pm.
When she came out of the airport pa*sageway, the person next to her was walking in a hurry and accidentally bumped into Rong Shu, almost knocking her mobile phone away.
“Sorry.”
Seeing that the other party had apologised, Rong Shu didn’t take it personally, and was one step ahead of the other party, picking up the silk scarf on the ground and handing it over when the other party happened to look up.
Seeing that she was an acquaintance, Rongshu greeted her politely, “Mrs. Gu, what a coincidence.”
When Mrs. Gu saw that it was Rong Shu, her gentle face sank a little.
She pulled the silk scarf from Rong Shu’s hand without saying thank you, but instead said coldly, “Tonight we will have dinner with Jing Ting’s parents to set the date for Jing Ting’s engagement to Mangyin. Miss Rong, since you and Jingting are divorced, please stay away from him.”
Rong Shu sniffed, her red lips slightly curled up, “I’m really sorry, if I hadn’t asked Mr. Fu to take that string of Zhan Blue Hearts, Mr. Fu and Miss Gu would have gotten engaged long ago.”
“You!” Mrs. Gu’s face was ugly as she glared at Rong Shu.
“Don’t worry Mrs. Gu, I’ve never known what regret means, and I won’t eat gra*s back, Mr. Fu and Miss Gu are a good match.” Dropping her words, Rong Shu brushed past Madam Gu and walked away with aplomb.
“……” Mrs. Gu had wanted to warn Rong Shu, but was instead infuriated by her few words.
With a sullen face, she pushed her suitcase out of the airport and overheard Rong Shu saying something to her secretary. When she got into the car, Rong Shu’s side face flashed in Mrs. Gu’s eyes, giving her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Mrs Gu stared out of breath at the car until it drove out of the airport.
“Wife.” Gu Yaotian hurriedly came over and took the suitcase in Mrs. Gu’s hand, “There was a traffic jam on the road and I was delayed for a few minutes.”
Seeing Mrs. Gu ignoring herself, Gu Yaotian asked, “What’s wrong?”
“No, nothing.” Mrs. Gu withdrew her eyes and walked with Gu Yaotian towards the car, while asking, “Where are we going to eat tonight?”
Gu Yaotian opened the back door and escorted her up, “At the Grand Hyatt Hotel owned by the Fu family. It’s just a dress, just have it delivered to the city, why do you have to go to Nanjiang to pick it up yourself?”
“It’s Mangyin’s favourite dress, I’m going to wear it tonight, I’m afraid someone else will be careless and spoil it.” Mrs Gu said, “She can’t lose face tonight when we have dinner with Jingting’s family.”
“Yes, yes, I know you love Mangyin, get in the car.”
Mrs. Gu got into the car and saw a large bunch of full sky stars sitting in the seat over by the window, the smile on her face instantly disappeared and became somewhat complicated.
Gu Yaotian then got into the car, looking at Mrs. Gu holding the full sky stars in her hand, her eyes also darkened a few points.
“Today, it’s the anniversary of Mangyi’s death.”
Chapter 30
“Yes, today is the anniversary of Mangyi’s death ……”
When she thought of that oldest daughter who died early, Mrs. Gu’s hand holding Mangyi was trembling, and finally she couldn’t help but cry in pain.
Just because it was too hard to lose her eldest daughter, she focused all her attention on her younger daughter, and every year when it came to the anniversary of her eldest daughter’s death, her heart, still, would tear at her heart.
“There, don’t cry.” Gu Yaotian gathered his wife into his arms and said comfortingly, “Today is not only the anniversary of Mangyin’s death, but also the day Mangyin got engaged, Mangyin will be happy for her sister if she knows she is engaged.”
Mrs. Gu’s chest was aching from crying and she gritted her teeth, “If it wasn’t for that b*****d Rong Hao, how would Mangyin, how would she ……”
She spoke until she choked and sobbed again.
Gu Yaotian’s eyes were also gloomy, “The Rong family is gone, only Rong Shu is left.”
Six years ago he personally took revenge for his eldest daughter, forcing Rong Hao to die and causing the Rong family to fall apart, because Rongshu was married to Fu Jingting and he couldn’t do anything about it.
Little did he know that six years later, Rong Shu would get the shares of Tiansheng and become the majority shareholder of Tiansheng.
“Rong Shu has nothing but a Tiansheng, it’s easy for me to take care of her.” Thinking of his dead eldest daughter, Gu Yaotian was also heartbroken and his hatred for the Rong family deepened.
Mrs. Gu was a little hesitant, “Forget it, she is Jing Ting’s ex-wife after all, if Jing Ting finds out, when the time comes Mangyin will not do well in the Fu family.”
Gu Yaotian grunted, “Don’t you know why Jingting married Rongshu? He doesn’t miss Rong Shu at all, otherwise he wouldn’t have watched the fall of the Rong family and watched Tian Sheng go downhill even more coldly.”
“Don’t you worry about it, I’ll take care of these matters.” Gu Yaotian said, “That crown was something that Mangyin took a fancy to when she was alive, go back and ask Mangyin for it, put it away properly, lest Mangyin casually give it away again.”
Mrs. Gu nodded, looking sadly at the full sky star in her hand.
……
Rongshu intended to go to the company and take care of a few urgent documents before going back to rest.
As soon as she arrived at the office, her secretary came over to inform, “Mr. Rong, Mr. Liang from Zongshi has come over and is chatting with Manager Lu in his office.”
The corners of Rong Shu’s mouth picked up a cold smile, “Good, I’ll go over and take a look.”
Last Friday, during a poker game at the Red Plum Villa, the boss of Zongshi said that he would have someone bring the contract to Tiansheng to sign the contract the next day, but he didn’t come. Rongshu was not stupid and knew that he wanted to hang on to himself and wait for him to call Zongshi himself.
Luckily, with Cheng Huai’s help, she had found a better partner for Tiansheng.
Rongshu knocked on the door and entered Lu Qi’s office.
She saw Lu Qi chattering with the boss of Zongshi, walked in, smiled and greeted Mr. Liang, “Mr. Liang, it’s been a long time.”
“Mr. Rong.” Mr. Liang got up and shook hands with Rong Shu in a polite manner.
When Mr. Liang saw that Rong Shu sat down and drank tea without mentioning the cooperation, he couldn’t help but speak up first, “I’m really sorry, Mr. Rong, my family was too busy with business the other day, so I couldn’t come over to sign the contract with your company, today I’m here to make amends in person.”
He said, pushing the contract in front of Rong Shu, “Take a look, if there’s no problem, we’ll sign it.”
Lu Qi frowned and was about to say something.
Rong Shu gave him a look that stopped him, then said to Mr Liang, “Mr Liang, my secretary said that I couldn’t get through to your business phone before, because that batch of goods was urgent and couldn’t be delayed, so I found another factory to do it.”
“Mr. Rong, I am the best one in China to do overseas goods.” Mr. Liang thought that Rong Shu was saying this because she wanted to squeeze the price, and her attitude became somewhat arrogant, “You keep saying that you are looking for product quality, and then you find a poor factory to do it because the shipment is urgent?”
Rong Shu smiled, “The one famous for making overseas goods is not only your family, there is also a Yutu Manufacturing.”
“……”
Seeing Mr. Liang’s face change, the smile on the corner of Rong Shu’s mouth became brighter and brighter, “Today I went to Nanjiang on business to inspect Yutu’s factory and sign the contract with Yutu’s boss by the way.”
“I heard that Yutu’s orders are all lined up until next year.” Mr Liang was still struggling, “Mr Rong, have you really signed the contract with Yutu?”
Rongshu directly sent the signed contract to Mr. Liang for him to see.
Now Mr. Liang was completely convinced and his attitude softened, “It was indeed an oversight on the part of my staff that I failed to sign with your company early, but I really want to work with your company, we can talk about the price ……”
“I know that Mr. Liang is a man of great affection and loyalty.” Rong Shu’s smile was faint, “Old customers suddenly increased their orders, priority was given to old customers, employees did something wrong, and you even came to Tiansheng to apologize to me personally, it’s me who should be flattered.”
“……” Of course, Mr. Liang heard that Rong Shu was mocking himself.
When he had said those words during the card game that day, he had only been giving face to Fu Jingting and had not taken Rong Shu into consideration at all, but he had not expected Rong Shu to approach Yutu.
Rongshu had only just entered the market and had no contacts, so how did she know the boss of Yutu?
Could it be that Fu Jingting was helping?
Thinking of how Fu Jingting had defended Rong Shu during the mahjong game that day, it wasn’t unusual for him to expand her network for her.
In just a few dozen seconds, Mr. Liang saw the pros and cons of the situation, and after gritting his teeth, he told Rong Shu, “Mr. Rong, there are no old customers to add to the order, I lied to you. Some time ago, Mr. Gu called me and told me not to take orders from Tiansheng.”
At that, Lu Qi snorted coldly, “I was wondering how you could let go of your money, Mr. Liang, is it because someone is targeting Tiansheng, hehe! It’s true!”
“Gu has quite a few collaborations with my company, and it’s quite difficult for me to do so.” Mr Liang smiled sarcastically and immediately added, “But I still want to work with Tiansheng, otherwise I wouldn’t have risked offending Mr Gu by coming here today.”
Rongshu was in need of contacts right now.
Besides, there were no enemies in the mall, as long as there were interests, they would hold together.
Rongshu smiled, “I can see your sincerity, Mr Liang, but I have already signed a contract with Yutu, and I will give priority to you when there are overseas orders in the future.”
Seeing this, Mr Liang let out a sigh of relief and after exchanging a few pleasantries with Rong Shu and Lu Qi, he left.
As soon as Liang left, Lu Qi asked Rong Shu, “I tried to contact Yutu before, but I was unsuccessful.
“Cheng Huai introduced me.”
Rong Shu told Lu Qi all about the time she went to the Red Plum Villa to play mahjong, and the time Cheng Huai introduced her to Yutu.
After hearing this, Lu Qi said, “If you had known that Cheng Huai had such connections, you should have taught Mr. Liang a good lesson during the mahjong game at the Red Plum Villa, so that they would be too scared to go to the mahjong table again!”
Rongshu smiled, “Mr. Liang is still very good at poker.”
Ever since she had married Fu Jingting, she had never touched mahjong again, and over time, apart from Lu Qi, everyone around her thought she didn’t know how to play mahjong.
The last time she played with a few of Mr Liang, it was the first time she had touched mahjong again after six years.
“Don’t be modest!” Lu Qi rolled her eyes and said, “We grew up together, don’t I know how good you are at mahjong? Your father can’t even beat you, let alone anyone else.”
Because of Lu Qi’s words, Rongshu thought of her father who had committed suicide and felt a little sad, “Let’s go, I’ll treat you to dinner.”
She got up and had just taken her coat and put it on when her phone rang.
“Hello?”
“Is this Miss Rong Shu?” The female voice on the other side of the phone carried a bit of seriousness, “Your brother is at our police/station, please come over.”
