Chapter 421
Fu Jingting?
Rongshu knitted her brows.
What was he doing here?
“Let him in.” Rongshu’s red lips twitched as she said indifferently.
At the door, before Aunt Zhang could convey her meaning, Fu Jingting had already strided into the house and headed towards the living room.
“Rongshu.” Seeing Rong Shu on the sofa, Fu Jingting softened his tone and shouted.
Rongshu turned her head slightly to face him, “What do you want, Mr. Fu?”
“I’m delivering something to you.” Fu Jingting sat down opposite her.
Rongshu’s face was full of confusion, “Delivering something to me? I’m sorry, I don’t think I have anything at your place, and I’m asking you to send it here personally.”
“It’s not something you left behind, but something Grandmother asked me to send to you.” Fu Jingting lowered his eyes, then handed the bag over.
As Rongshu could not see, the bag was naturally taken by Aunt Zhang on her behalf.
Rongshu blinked and asked, “Grandmother asked you to deliver this? What did she ask you to give away?”
“It’s a set of jewellery.” Fu Jingting replied with a slight twinkle in his eyes, “Grandmother knew that you would be attending her 80th birthday, so she was happy and took out a set of jewellery that she wore when she was young, hoping that you would wear it when you attended.”
“Is that so?” Rongshu narrowed her eyes, obviously somewhat unconvinced.
Fu Jingting nodded without changing his face, “Of course, you can call and ask your grandmother.”
Rongshu was silent.
After a few seconds, she sighed, “I know, thank grandmother for me, I’ll wear it over there when the time comes.”
“That’s good.” Fu Jingting’s thin lips curled slightly.
He knew that she wouldn’t call her grandmother, because with her personality, she would hardly bother her grandmother as long as it wasn’t something major.
Even if she was on good terms with her grandmother, she would try not to contact her grandmother too often because she was divorced from him, so he knew from the start that she would not ask for her grandmother’s permission, and sure enough, he had guessed correctly.
Seeing that Rong Shu had accepted the jewellery from Fu Jingting, Aunt Zhang looked at Rong Shu and began to ask boldly, “Miss Rong, do you want me to open it and see what kind of jewellery it is?”
Rong Shu nodded her head, “Open it.”
“Hey!” Aunt Zhang replied with a smile, then with a nod from Fu Jingting, she took the jewellery box out of the bag and slowly opened it.
Seeing the full set of imperial green jewellery inside, Aunt Zhang’s mouth opened wide in surprise.
This …… was not Madame’s?
As a servant who had served Fu Jingting’s own mother for many years, Aunt Zhang naturally recognized at a glance that this set of jewellery, which was not the old lady’s at all, was the former lady’s dowry.
So just now Young Master had lied and deceived Miss Rong.
Seeming to see what Aunt Zhang was thinking, Fu Jingting nodded slightly, a sort of admission.
The corners of Aunt Zhang’s mouth twitched.
My Young Master, are you afraid that if you do this, Miss Rong will be angry when she finds out?
Fu Jingting read it and lowered his eyes without responding.
Rongshu didn’t know what these two were secretly exchanging, she didn’t hear Aunt Zhang open the box anymore and asked “Aunt Zhang, did you open it?”
Aunt Zhang took a breath, suppressing the unrest in her heart, and smiled back, “Yes, it’s a set of imperial green jewellery,”
“Pfft!” Rongshu was drinking water, when she heard this, a mouthful of water directly spurted out.
Fu Jingting was sitting opposite her and was sprayed right in the face, her entire handsome face was wet.
Not only his face, but also his hair.
The broken hair in front of his forehead was all wet into several strands, one of which was still dripping water downwards, and he had probably never experienced such a thing before, and was momentarily stunned, his whole body looking wretched and funny.
Aunt Zhang just couldn’t hold back a snort of laughter, “Mr. Fu you ……”
Listening to Aunt Zhang’s laughter, Rongshu realized that she might be in trouble, the hand holding the cup tightened, and her back straightened slightly, “That …… Aunt Zhang, what happened, was it just me …… ”
“Nothing.” Fu Jingting took a breath and finally came out of his shock, then raised his hand to wipe a handful of water from his face and said softly.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang hurriedly drew two tissues and handed them over, “Mr. Fu, here.”
“Thanks.” Fu Jingting said thank you and took the tissues to wipe his face.
When Rongshu heard the sound of the paper being drawn, she was completely sure that she had just sprayed him, although she hadn’t done it on purpose, she was somewhat embarra*sed and bit her lower lip, “Aunt Zhang, help Mr. Fu with that new towel.”
“Okay.” Seeing that Rong Shu was going to give Fu Jingting a towel, Aunt Zhang was overjoyed and hurriedly answered and went to the bathroom.
Fu Jingting also looked at Rong Shu incredulously, “You ……”
“What’s wrong?” Rong Shu asked.
The knot in Fu Jingting’s throat twitched, “You would actually let someone bring me a towel.”
It was only logical that with how cold she was towards him, it would be most normal for her to not care.
That was why it was extra surprising to him that she had given him a towel.
Rongshu bit her lip and then said blandly “Are you surprised? I know I’ve caused trouble, so I’m just giving you a towel to make up for it, and I’m sorry about that, I didn’t mean it.”
Looking at her face full of apologies, Fu Jingting slightly hooked his lips, his voice gentle, “I know, I don’t blame you.”
How could he let go of blaming her.
Rongshu’s lips twitched and didn’t say anything.
Because she didn’t know what to say anymore.
Furthermore, she had apologised and he had said he didn’t care, so if she continued to say that she hadn’t meant to just now, it would seem a bit pretentious.
At this time, Aunt Zhang brought the towel over and handed it to Fu Jingting, “Mr. Fu, here.”
Fu Jingting reached out to take it and put it on his head to wipe his hair.
As she listened to the sound of him wiping his hair, Rongshu lowered her eyes slightly and turned the conversation back, “Right Mr. Fu, why did grandmother take such an expensive piece of jewellery for me to wear?”
This was what she couldn’t figure out.
She knew that her grandmother had never given her any jewellery in the past.
Of course, she had given her villas, cars and other things, but she had refused them all.
Fu Jingting had expected her to have this question and put the towel aside and said, “Because for my grandmother’s 80th birthday, she has to invite many business people, most of whom are not from the city of Shanghai, but from the capital, Hong Kong, and foreign business leaders, most of whom you are not qualified to see.”
Although this sounded a bit hard to hear, it was indeed true.
Even Gu Yaotian, who was in his prime, was not qualified to meet these people, not to mention Rong Shu.
Rongshu also knew this, so she did not get angry, but simply asked calmly, “Then what.”
“Among these people in power, there are some subsidiaries whose industries are the same as Tiansheng’s. If Tiansheng wants to develop, it must try to reach cooperation with these subsidiaries, and you, as the biggest shareholder of Tiansheng, must also make friends with these people in power, open up your horizons and open up your own network. can take back that half of the management power in Duan Xingbang’s hands at any time.” Fu Jingting looked at her and said.
Rongshu looked serious and earnest, and her palms slowly clenched.
It had to be said that Fu Jingting’s words had poked her all to the heart.
Indeed, she had recently been hurting for the subsequent development of Tiansheng, as well as its future path.
Tiansheng had reached stability by cooperating with several subsidiaries of the Fu Group, but stability did not mean that Tiansheng had progressed and developed, but only brought it back from the brink of bankruptcy at any time to a point where it was not bankrupt but could not progress either.
Therefore, if Tiansheng wants to develop and grow, it cannot only rely on the cooperation with several subsidiaries of Fu’s, but it has to develop new cooperation companies and open up more far-reaching cooperation channels.
Chapter 422
It’s not that she hadn’t thought about this issue, nor had she looked for companies in the same industry as Tiansheng, but these companies were not big and did not have the slightest value for cooperation, and the other party was not willing to cooperate with a company that could not progress, which is why Tiansheng had not developed new partners.
At this stage, Tiansheng can still operate, but if there are no new partners for a long time, Tiansheng will once again face a major crisis, because the money earned by relying on the cooperation of several subsidiaries of the Fu family is not enough to support Tiansheng’s subsequent capital operation, and even Fu Jingting’s loan of more than one billion dollars cannot be repaid.
Therefore, it is not too late to look for new partners.
In addition, Fu Jingting also said that as the largest shareholder of the group, he should also expand his horizons and make more contacts, which she also agreed with.
The business world is a very complicated circle of interests, and people in it are all in a group, so if they fight alone, they will only be eliminated in the end.
Only by making connections and expanding one’s horizons can one know one’s shortcomings and gain greater benefits, or else one will be ostracised by those in the business world, jointly.
Thinking of this, Rongshu suddenly understood why her grandmother had sent her such a set of jewellery.
She took a deep breath and her godless eyes ‘looked’ at the man opposite her, “Mr. Fu, grandmother wants me to make friends with those bigwigs at her birthday banquet, right?”
Seeing that she had figured it out so quickly, Fu Jingting held a trace of appreciation in his eyes and nodded slightly, “That’s right, that’s grandmother’s purpose, to befriend these people and get cooperation opportunities from these people by the way, you have to make yourself look worthy of cooperation, if you wear an ordinary dress and jewellery, those people will know that befriending and cooperating with you will not bring any benefits So they won’t even give you the chance to say hello, let alone wait for you to come up and make friends, understand?”
That was the cruelty of reality!
As much as he wanted to personally take her to befriend those in power, he knew that even if her heart was inclined, she would still refuse.
Because she didn’t want to rely on him, he could only choose to be circuitous and come up with this solution, lending his grandmother’s name to give her the knocker to make contacts, and let her earn the rest.
It was also just as well, to give her a bit of exercise.
Of course, he will keep an eye on her, and if she fails, he will secretly be fighting for her opportunities.
He wanted her to get better and her career to get bigger and bigger.
“I understand.” Rongshu nodded, her heart moved, “I’ll take the jewellery, thank my grandmother for me, it’s hard for her to think so much for me at her age.”
Honestly, in her six years in the Fu family, her grandmother was the only one who treated her the best and thought of her in everything.
And because she only had eyes for Fu Jingting and didn’t want to leave him, she had refused several times her grandmother’s offer to let her go live in the old mansion, away from Wang Shuqin and the others, yet she had refused them all and stubbornly stayed in the Fu Residence, and as a result, she had very few opportunities to pay her respects to her grandmother.
And now, she was not even the grandson-in-law of the Fu family anymore, and her grandmother had done such a thing for her, she really did not know how to repay her grandmother.
“No need to thank her, it’s only right.” Fu Jingting smiled lightly and said back.
“Hmm?” Rongshu frowned suspiciously, “I asked you to help me say thank you to grandmother, not to you, what do you mean no thanks?”
Fu Jingting’s thin lips twitched, unable to speak, and his heart was a little sour.
This matter was not done by his grandmother, but by him, so of course he could say no thanks.
It was just this truth that he couldn’t tell, otherwise she would definitely throw the jewellery back at him now.
“Forget it, I’ll call my grandmother myself later to say thank you, I won’t let you pa*s it on.” Rongshu said with a grimace.
By the way, she told her grandmother that she would not let her grandmother down and would definitely take a few collaborations at the birthday banquet.
At the same time, she also told her grandmother that she would take good care of the jewellery and return it when the birthday banquet was over.
“Good, then tell grandmother yourself, it’s getting late, I should go now, you have a good rest.” Fu Jingting looked at his watch and stood up.
If he didn’t have a really important meeting coming up, he would never have taken the initiative to mention his farewell.
Rong Shu nodded and also stood up, “Take care of yourself Mr. Fu, Aunt Zhang, see Mr. Fu off.”
“Okay Miss Rong.” Aunt Zhang answered and then made an invitation gesture to Fu Jingting.
Fu Jingting looked at Rong Shu, “I’m leaving.”
Rong Shu gave a muffled sound.
Fu Jingting looked at her face for a few seconds before withdrawing his gaze with slight reluctance and lifting his legs towards the entrance hall.
Aunt Zhang followed him and escorted him out the door, “Young Master, be careful on your way.”
“Well, take good care of her, and the matter of the jewellery not being grandmother’s but my mother’s, don’t let her know.” Fu Jingting admonished.
If Rongshu knew, she would definitely not wear it.
Before her mother committed suicide, she had written in her suicide note that all those jewels she had left behind were given to her future daughter-in-law.
In the past six years, he had not given Rongshu what he should have given her, and in the future, he would give her the same.
In his heart, whether there was a divorce or not, Rongshu was his wife, and could only be his wife.
So even if Rongshu never forgave him in her life, he would still keep her by his side. In short, he would never allow her to be with another man, and the mere thought of that would make him furious.
“Don’t worry Eldest Young Master, I know.” Aunt Zhang responded with a smile.
“Go back, she can’t see, don’t leave her for too long, she needs someone.” Fu Jingting waved his hand.
Aunt Zhang nodded and closed the door behind her.
Fu Jingting heard the sound of the room door unlocking before he turned around and walked towards the lift.
He had just taken a few steps when his mobile phone rang, taking it out to see that it was the old lady calling, he answered it straight away, “Grandmother.”
“Jingting, how come my wife didn’t know I was holding a birthday banquet for my 80th birthday? I remember I said a year ago that I would not hold any banquet for my 80th birthday, just a family dinner, and you agreed to it, why did you change your mind now and not let me, an old woman, know about it?”
The old lady’s voice came with a smile, “And all my old sisters know that I am going to have a birthday banquet, only my old lady is the last to know, you are really my good grandson.”
Fu Jingting understood that the old lady was very upset, so he coughed lightly against his lips and did not hide it, saying directly, “Sorry, grandmother, I did not inform you in advance, please forgive me.”
“I’m sorry, you’ve been sending out invitations one after another, this banquet has to be held, it’s too late for me to blame you. The old lady asked without good humour.
Fu Jingting twisted his head and glanced towards the door of Rong Shu’s flat, “For Rong Shu.”
“Shu Shu?” The old lady froze.
Fu Jingting nodded, “Yes, Tian Sheng currently has no development ahead of her, it is not good to continue for long, and she herself has ambitions to expand Tian Sheng’s development, but suffers from no way out, so ……”
“So you want to use your grandmother’s birthday party for me to pave the way for Shushu?” The old lady hummed.
Fu Jingting lowered his eyes, “I’m sorry grandmother.”
He had actually wanted to give Rong Shu a platform to develop Tiansheng before, he just hadn’t found the right opportunity.
That was why he had set his eyes on his grandmother’s 80th birthday, using the birthday banquet as a platform and using her as a shield so that Rongshu would not suspect that the banquet was, in fact, held for her.
The old lady could imagine her eldest grandson, who must be looking guilty at the moment, thinking that he had used her birthday banquet to pave the way for the woman he loved and feeling sorry for her, shook her head helplessly, “Silly boy!”
