Chapter 257: Coincidentally only Chapter 257: Coincidentally only “Anyway, this will be yours in the future, so consider it getting a head start on familiarizing yourself with the business.”
Su Ran smiled but didn’t speak, and the man continued.
“If you don’t like it, you can also come to bring lunch every day.”
Su Ran got up from his embrace and looked at him with a half smile.
“Today’s meal is the compensation I promised you.”
Fu Qiyuan raised an eyebrow and watched her with amusement.
“Just compensation? Isn’t it because you feel sorry for me?”
Su Ran shook her head, “No.”
Fu Qiyuan laughed lowly, “Lying.”
Su Ran glanced at him then began silently cleaning up the things on the coffee table, while doing so, she said:
“Does Fu’s have cooperation with the Xia Family?”
Fu Qiyuan didn’t think this was any secret, nor did he feel there was any confidential information he couldn’t tell Su Ran.
His expression was indifferent, everything was normal.
Su Ran nodded, her face showing not a trace of apology, instead she said:
“The Xia Family’s reputation isn’t very good, they continuously play dirty tricks behind the scenes, it’s actually a good thing for Fu’s to terminate the contract with them.”
A flash of astonishment crossed Fu Qiyuan’s eyes.
Su Ran met his eyes, then diverted her gaze, packed up the thermal container and set it aside, before speaking faintly.
“Not much really, I just happened to have some information. The Xia Family is quite greedy, meddling in everything but good at nothing, delusionally clinging to past merit to monopolize the market. They have good ideas but lack the capability.”
“Every company that has worked with them has been scammed, the nation now emphasizes scientific research, and the Xia Family, eyeing the profits, wants in too. The current person in charge of the Xia Family is cunning yet impulsive, it’s hard to ensure they won’t make a drastic move. Terminating the cooperation is better than getting dragged down with them.”
Fu Qiyuan leaned back on the sofa, a shadow playing in his eyes, and the corner of his mouth lifted with a vague smile.
“So you’ve known all along, you knew Xia Shihan’s identity and gave her the chance to deliberately trouble you, or should I say, you targeted her from the start.”
Fu Qiyuan’s deep voice was untroubled, and he didn’t seem to find it strange that Su Ran knew these things.
Su Ran raised her eyebrows, looking at him innocently.
“How could I possibly know her identity, it’s my first day at your company.”
She wasn’t a Swindler who could predict that woman would also be there, it was just…
Fu Qiyuan caught her innocent expression fully, a doting smile emerging.
He had known from the beginning she was not simple, especially with the skills she possessed, but since she didn’t want to tell, he wouldn’t ask. As long as there was no danger, she could do whatever she wanted.
“You did a good deed and don’t want to admit it, isn’t this the time you should be asking me to acknowledge it and reward you properly?”
Su Ran looked up at him, and Fu Qiyuan also watched her with a smile, his expression calm and meaningful, making Su Ran’s heart flutter slightly.
Her eyes flickered, avoiding Fu Qiyuan’s gaze, feeling like he knew something.
“I just simply came to deliver food.”
Fu Qiyuan curved his lips in a light, indulgent laugh.
“Mhm, you just came to deliver food.”
“Cough, don’t you still have work to do? Get back to it, staying up late isn’t good for your health.”
“Then stay here with me, I’ll be finished with work soon. You take a rest, and then we go back together.”
Su Ran nodded, not refusing.
Fu Qiyuan then walked towards his desk, satisfied, and began working.
