Chapter 471
“No.” Rongshu shook her head gently, “Am I that easy to bully? She only let her get away with it when I wasn’t on guard before she laid a hand on me, now I’m already on guard against her at all times, it’s impossible for her to bully me.”
Fu Jingting was relieved to hear that she hadn’t been bullied, “That’s good.”
“Mr. Fu, is that what you’re calling to ask me about?” Rongshu asked with a wink.
Fu Jingting nodded, “I’m worried that you’re being bullied.”
Rongshu was inexplicably a little happy in her heart, and her red lips curled up in a small arc, her tone softening, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
“Mm.” Fu Jingting answered.
After that, the two of them had nothing to say and fell into silence.
Rongshu found that ever since she had experienced the cliff fall with Fu Jingting, the pattern of getting along between them had become extremely awkward.
How to put it, the first thing was, she wouldn’t be as cold as she used to be towards Fu Jingting, nor could she be as cold as that, so their getting along, would become strange.
Just like now, after finishing the topic with him, she didn’t know what to say and started to be silent.
If it were before, she would have just hung up the phone without saying hello and not be afraid of offending him, but not now, because he was her benefactor and she owed him a favour.
So even if she had to hang up the phone, she had to say hello.
Thinking, Rong Shu took a breath, then held the phone with both hands and said to the man on the other end of the line, “Mr. Fu, I’m almost there, so I’ll hang up the phone first.”
She really didn’t know what to say, and she couldn’t stay silent.
Then the best way to solve this embarra*sment is to say hello and hang up the phone
Fu Jingting also knew this and lightly opened his thin lips, his voice slightly hoarse as he returned, “Good.”
After the conversation, Rong Shu put the phone down and looked out of the window, wondering what she was thinking about.
Soon, the Repulse Bay arrived.
Rongshu paid the money and got out of the car, pulling her suitcase into the apartment building, ready to take a shower and rest for a while.
As a result, just as she put the suitcase down, the doorbell rang.
“Who is it?” Rongshu frowned her pretty eyebrows, then propped herself up on the arm of the sofa, got up, walked towards the entrance door and opened it.
Outside the door was Cheng Huai, standing there with both hands pinned to his knees, his whole body panting and looking exhausted.
Rongshu looked at him in dismay, “You’re …… running up the stairs?”
The brace shook his head, and his mouth opened as if he wanted to say something.
But due to too tired, the language simply can not be organized, nothing can be said, anxiously stamping his feet.
Seeing this, Rong Shu cried and laughed a little, and pressed her hand, “Okay, okay, you can rest for a while, calm down before talking.”
Cheng Huai looked at her and nodded repeatedly, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
After a while, he finally calmed down and his breathing calmed down before he stood up straight and then hurriedly asked, “Rong Shu, are you alright?”
“Huh?” Rongshu C*cked her head, “What could be wrong with me, why are you asking that?”
“No, I heard that you and Jing Ting fell off a cliff.” Cheng Huai said, his eyes looking her up and down, trying to see if she was injured anywhere.
Only then did Rong Shu understand what he was referring to when he asked if she was alright, and shook her head slightly, “I’m fine, but where did you hear that I fell off a cliff with Fu Jingting?”
The matter of her and Fu Jingting falling off the cliff had been blocked by Ah Qi and a*sistant Zhang at the first opportunity and had not been spread out, so how did Cheng Huai know about it?
“I just came back from the capital and had some business to find Jingting, and only after I contacted Jingting did I know that such a thing had happened to you and him, then I rushed over to see you.” Cheng Huai raised his hand and wiped a handful of sweat from the corner of his forehead and said.
Rong Shu drifted off, “So it was him who told you.”
Cheng Huai nodded, “Rong Shu, what the hell is going on here? How did you and Fu Jingting fall off the cliff?”
He had gone to the capital on some business the other day and hadn’t come back, but he hadn’t expected to hear about such a thing happening between her and Fu Jingting as soon as he returned.
And Fu Jingting actually didn’t tell him what the reason for this happening was.
He had no choice but to ask her.
“It was Xiaochuan’s rival who took me captive, and Fu Jingting tried to save me, so he and I both fell off the cliff.” Rongshu sidled up to make way for the doorway and returned in a concise manner.
Cheng Huai walked into the room, “Li Chuan’s rival? Who was it?”
“Just a minor character, let’s not talk about it.” Rongshu shook her head, obviously not wanting to talk about it.
Cheng Huai shrugged his shoulders, “Alright, but you’re really not injured?”
Fu Jingting had been hospitalized, and she had also fallen off the cliff together, so the possibility of her being injured must have been high as well.
However, Rong Shu shook her head and said, “No, I didn’t. Fu Jingting protected me the whole time, the most I got was a scratch, and it’s already healed now, the really serious one was Fu Jingting.”
“It’s good that you’re not hurt.” After Cheng Huai made sure she was indeed fine, he breathed a huge sigh of relief, took the gla*s of water she handed him, took a sip and added, “As for Jingting, I asked Lin Tianchen, he wasn’t badly hurt either, the most serious injury was his arm, he’ll be fine even after a few months of proper recuperation.”
“I know.” Rongshu sat down opposite him and sighed, “But no matter what, he was injured like this to save me, I feel very sorry for him.”
Cheng Huai looked at her, “What’s the point, just repay him for saving your life, as for how to repay him, we can talk about it later, after all, it’s not something you can just repay.”
Rongshu smiled, “What you said is true.”
Fu Jingting had been a life-saver to her, and such a great kindness was not something she could repay by taking care of him until he recovered.
Her care was still far from enough.
So to repay Fu Jingting’s life-saving kindness, she had to start with other aspects, and as for which aspects, she didn’t have a clue yet, she would only have the chance to repay when Fu Jingting needed help afterwards.
“Well, enough of that, what is it that you came here to find me?” Rongshu asked as she lifted her own gla*s of water and took a sip.
Cheng Huai leaned back against the back of the sofa, “Nothing, I just heard that you fell off the cliff, so I came over to check on you and ask about your condition.”
Although Jing Ting had also said she was fine, he was still uneasy without seeing her with his own eyes, so he hung up the phone and came here amidst Jing Ting’s gloomy tone.
“So.” Rongshu nodded and smiled faintly, “Thank you for your concern, I’m fine.”
“There’s nothing to thank you for.” Cheng Huai waved his hand, then thought of something and leaned his body forward to smile at her mysteriously, “Right, let me tell you a good news.”
“What’s the good news?” Rongshu raised her eyebrows and became interested.
Cheng Huai slightly narrowed his eyes and said, “This time I went to the capital for a meeting, then I heard that the top was going to randomly check ten enterprises across the country immediately afterwards.”
“What does that mean?” Rong Shu’s eyes revealed a bit of bewilderment.
Cheng Huai sat forward and drew closer to her, “It means that the state is going to take action to rectify ten problematic enterprises that have a bad reputation and often cause trouble, and then use them as a deterrent to warn other enterprises, in short, to purge the business world of some messy horses.”
“I see.” Rongshu bit her lip in a daze.
Cheng Huai held up two fingers, “In our city of Hai, there are two enterprises that are being targeted.”
Hearing this, Rong Shu’s heart thudded, “Which two?”
One of them, it wouldn’t be Tiansheng, right?
In the past few months, because of the fight with the Gu family, Tiansheng had been pulled out by netizens, and its reputation was definitely not good.
Chapter 472
Therefore, she was worried that Tiansheng would be thoroughly investigated from above.
Although Tiansheng had not done anything illegal or taboo since she took over, it definitely had before.
Ever since her father had committed suicide by jumping off a building, Tiansheng had been managed by Duan Xingbang.
She knew Duan Xingbang very well, he was greedy for money and snobbery and had a dark heart, there was nothing he couldn’t do.
Four months ago, when Xingnuo took over the finance department, many false accounts and tax evasion problems were detected, and these were the work of Duan Xingbang.
Now the fake accounts had been written off and the tax evasion she had long ago asked Starrynest to pay up, but there was no guarantee there wouldn’t be other problems.
After all, Duan Xingbang had managed the company for six years longer than she had, and had many more staff in the company than she did, and was intertwined in various departments, so who knew what other illegal and taboo things had been done.
But from what she knew about Duan Xingbang, there must be more, she just didn’t find out.
But once it was found out by the top, Tian Sheng would be finished.
Looking at Rong Shu’s tightly furrowed brows and tense face, Cheng Huai knew what she was worried about and said with a smile, “Don’t be so nervous, look at your serious look, just like an old woman, I’ve said it’s good news, so relax a little, this time the companies in Haicheng that the top is going to spot check are San Sheng and Wang’s.”
“San Sheng and Wang’s?” After hearing that it was these two enterprises and there was no Tian Sheng, Rong Shu breathed a huge sigh of relief, and her rapidly beating heart slowly returned to its normal rhythm.
She patted her chest slightly to calm down, and then asked with a suspicious face, “I’m not surprised that San Sheng was selected for the spot check list, after all, San Sheng has caused quite a lot of trouble in recent months, but how did Wang’s get selected for the spot check? It’s only logical that Tian Sheng has the highest chance of being selected.”
“That’s right, the two places that the top decided on at the beginning were Tian Sheng and San Sheng, after all, you and the Gu family have been making a lot of noise these days, and the whole country knows about it, but recently there was a murder case at Wang’s, and since the case was special, it wasn’t announced to the public, but the top already knew about it, so it decided to choose a spot check between Tian Sheng and San Sheng, freeing up a place for Wang’s.” Cheng Huai explained as he sipped his water.
Rongshu nodded, “And then Tian Sheng was lucky enough not to be chosen right.”
“More or less, but mainly my father operated secretly, as you know, we have a grudge against the Gu family, of course we would prefer to see the Gu family’s San Sheng being thoroughly investigated, I don’t believe San Sheng is that clean, so when San Sheng is investigated by the top, my Gu family and San Sheng will be finished, at that time, we can also directly take action against Gu Yaotian, we don’t have to worry about the rest. ”
Said Cheng Huai, squeezing his eyebrows at her, “How about Rong Shu, is this good news?”
Rongshu clenched her palms, her eyes couldn’t hide her excitement as she nodded, “Of course it’s good news, great news!”
She and Cheng Huai had been looking for evidence that Sangsheng had committed a crime, which is why they had arranged for Li Zhaodi to enter the Gu family.
The reason is that only when they find the evidence of Sangsheng’s illegal crimes, they can hand it over and take action against Sangsheng and the Gu family, the top will not stop them, and will even take action to rectify them together.
It’s just that the evidence of Sangsheng’s crimes is so deep that she and Cheng Huai haven’t collected any of it after so long.
It is not expected that now the peak will turn around and the top will personally take action to investigate.
The top of the house is going to enter Sangsheng directly and investigate it openly, unlike her and Cheng Huai, who are sneaking around, afraid of alerting Gu Yaotian and having him destroy the evidence.
But when the top investigates, there is no need to worry about this. After all, how can a person, how can he compete with the state machine?
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and Rongshu hurriedly asked, “Cheng Huai, when will the above investigation come down?”
“It should be within three months, I can’t say exactly, after all, there are ten enterprises to be investigated.” Cheng Huai stretched his hands back.
Rongshu laughed happily, “Three months is fine, it’s also very fast, if we know that if we check it ourselves, it will take at least a year and a half.”
“That’s true.” Cheng Huai put his hands back and rested them on the top of the sofa backrest, responding lazily.
Because she was so happy, Rong Shu’s body was trembling slightly, and her pair of beautiful eyes were even brighter and more dazzling.
Three months, in three months’ time, she would be able to avenge her father’s death.
This was really good news that would cheer people up.
The tip of Rongshu’s nose tingled and her eyes gradually reddened.
Cheng Huai saw it and was surprised, “Rong Shu, why are you crying?”
“I’m not crying.” Rongshu lifted her head, wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a smile, “I am too happy.”
Cheng Huai looked at her bright eyes and believed that she was indeed crying because she was happy, and his lifted heart relaxed, “I was scared to death, I thought you were ……”
“Let me buy you dinner.” Rong Shu suddenly interrupted him.
Cheng Huai blinked in bewilderment, “Invite me to dinner?”
“Well, thank you for bringing me such good news.” Rongshu said as she stood up.
Cheng Huai smiled, “Fine, since you’re so sincere in inviting me, then I’ll respectfully accept, let’s go.”
He put his hand down from the back of the sofa and also stood up.
The two of them left the door one after the other and drove to a fancy Western restaurant.
“What would you like to eat?” Cheng Huai handed the menu to Rong Shu.
Rongshu took it and flipped it open to look at it, choosing a sirloin steak and a fruit salad, “That’s all.”
“So little to eat?” Cheng Huai frowned.
Rongshu took a sip of her plain water, “That’s about it, you shouldn’t eat too much at night, you tend to gain weight.”
“You women are really troublesome.” Cheng Huai opened the menu and shook his head helplessly.
Rongshu laughed lightly, “I can’t help it, it’s for the sake of my figure.”
“You have such a good figure, there’s no need to care about that.” Said Cheng Huai, his eyes went to her chest.
Rong Shu noticed his eyes and looked down, her little face instantly darkened, she raised her hand to her chest, and said in a bad mood, “Cheng Huai, what are you looking at?”
When Cheng Huai heard her yell, he snapped back to his senses with a jolt, realizing that he had just been rude, he touched the tip of his nose in embarra*sment, “Sorry, sorry, I got lost in thought for a moment.”
He never mentioned that he had wandered off to watch something.
But where did Rong Shu not know his little mind, she sneered, “You are really ……”
“Waiter.” Cheng Huai snapped his fingers and immediately interrupted her, “That’s all, hurry up and serve.”
“Okay sir.” The waiter took the menu and turned around to leave with a smile.
Rongshu looked at Cheng Huai coldly, “You did that on purpose, didn’t you?”
“What did you say?” Cheng Huai pretended not to hear her.
Rong Shu pursed her lips, “You deliberately interrupted me.”
“No, I was hungry, so I wanted to serve the food quickly.” Cheng Huai smiled back sheepishly.
Well, he admitted that he did do it on purpose.
Because he knew what she was going to say, she was definitely going to say that he was shameless and lewd or something like that.
He didn’t want to sit on the fact that he was a lewd man, so it was better to quickly change the topic.
Rongshu looked at Cheng Huai’s pretending to be stupid and dumb, she was angry and helpless, finally holding her forehead, “Forget it, that’s why I let you off, next time if you dare to glance around, I’ll gouge out your eyes.”
She said, she bent two fingers and made a gouging motion in front of his eyes.
Cheng Huai pretended to be scared and leaned back, “Wow, you’re so cruel.”
Rong Shu hummed, “I have something even crueler, do you want to try it?”
Cheng Huai hurriedly shook his head, “No, no, auntie I’m wrong, I won’t dare to do it again.”
Seeing him acting like a dog, Rong Shu couldn’t help but be amused by him, covering her lips and laughing, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
In the box on the first floor of the restaurant, Fu Jingting stood in front of the window and looked down at the scene, his cold air spilling out all around him, his handsome face dark and ugly.
