High level shareholders of Fei Company were facing major fluctuation on their share, once again a downfall.
Fei Jun was hardly on vacation, he went fishing and riding leisurely.
Although Guan Xin Mu didn"t understand what kind of bottleneck Fei Jun had in his business, yet she always very proud of his decision skills. He looked as if he was unaffected, his face was calm, he still does what he always does. He really made it hard for her to see clearly what he thought in his heart.
"You have something in your heart right? I guess now you definitely are concealing your strengths and waiting for the right time, right?" Guan Xin Mu asked.
Fei Jun moved his gaze from his newspaper, and little by little to Guan Xin Mu"s face, he said: "You think too much, I just on a break."
"Then… just have a good break." Guan Xin Mu felt it was really good for Fei Jun to take advantage of this situation to have a rest, he usually so busy. For his work, he had sacrificed a lot of entertainment and recreation times. Now it"s really good, the worst would be she need to raise him.
"So, I will trouble you for a while." Fei Jun smiled lightly, "You need to responsible for our food expenses, electricity and water bill, property management fee, and other remaining life daily expenditures."
……..
Fei Jun"s gaze once again fell on his business newspaper, while he was reading his newspaper, he took his cup of tea and sipped it, he was completely in contentment.
"Okay!" Guan Xin Mu bit her lips. In her heart, she said "I will bear it."
Their life track looked as if it proceeded toward a strange direction, every day Guan Xin Mu went home after work, she would see Fei Jun"s figure who was cooking in the kitchen. She couldn"t help but to admit when she saw his appearance when he was cutting the veggies methodically, stir-fried a dish, steam a fish, she started to feel it to be indisposed, slowly, yet she felt it was very natural. Fei Jun also could be a gentle stay-at-home husband.
Fei Jun"s cooking skills were getting better day by day, Guan Xin Mu"s appet.i.te were also getting better. For a meal, she could finish two bowls of rice, Fei Jun"s lips was turned up, said: "I"ve exhausted my lady."
"Didn"t this for raising you up, of course I need to eat a bit more for keep my physical strength." Guan Xin Mu lowered her head, and continued to eat it.
It was very rare that the days became very idle, in the past Fei Jun"s phone was turned on twenty four hours, every time and every moment, there would be a call for him. It was frequent that he would receive a business call in the study room for around three hours, yet now he turned off his phone, didn"t want anyone to disturb. This large room had completely became a world that belong solely for two of them, they were isolated from the world.
During the weekend, Fei Jun rode on the bicycle and he mounted Guan Xin Mu on the bicycle to go to the river bank to fish. It was just six o"clock in the early morning, the sleepy and hazy Guan Xin Mu was sitting on the backseat of the bicycle, she was yawning incessantly. Yet Fei Jun"s was in great vitality, he rode the car steadily. She also very naturally leant on his back, her both arms was hugging his waist, she felt it was really comfortable.
"Am I your first girl that you take on the bicycle?" Guan Xin Mu asked lazily.
"Em." Fei Jun replied concisely.
"You lie right!"
Fei Jun laughed, didn"t comment anymore.
"Why do you always to like fishing and cycling this boring hobbies?" Guan Xin Mu once again yawned.
"Since my school years these things have became my habits. Every time I am moody and gloomy I will come to cycle, go along the lake, cycling around. It could make me look at the scenery, smelled the natural air, slowly it will calm down my mood. The gloominess in my heart will be gone." Fei Jun said.
"That time what were your problems?"
"I didn"t remember the concrete problems, in short, it was not really meaningful problems."
"During your study period, did you really never have a silent crush with another female student?"
"No." Fei Jun raised his brows, "But everyday I would get a lot of love letters."
"Did you read it?"
"In the beginning I read some, but because I received too much, so I didn"t anymore heart to see it."
Guan Xin Mu silently cursed him, then asked, "You always yearned for love right, tell me what is your expectation of love?"
"My expectation of love?" Fei Jun was muttered to himself irresolutely for a long time then said, "Just look for the suit one, her brain didn"t need to be to be smart, her way of thinking was not complicated, and wants to spend this life forever."
Guan Xin Mu sighed: "So previously your request was this low, but I am smart, how is it?"
…. Fei Jun shook his head helplessly.
"I tell you a secret." Guan Xin Mu said, "During my junior high school, I was really envy to those boys who could ride on the bicycle, on their back, they would take their girlfriends behind them. They would go along the small street while the wind was blowing. It was really romantic, too artistic. It was a pity I never being taken by anyone."
"Why do your market price always this low?"
……
Today, Guan Xin Mu really felt very happy. Under Fei Jun"s direction, she also got several fresh and alive fishes, she placed it inside her own plastic bucket. Fei Jun picked the bucket and took her to the small restaurant on the riverside. He asked the boss to cook the fishes by different kind of techniques that is simmer-fried, steamed in broth, marinated in the soya. At last every different kinds of fish were different, they were very delicious. The fishes had plump meat, their broths were very tasty. Guan Xin Mu was very delighted, the lady boss would smiled with her eyes narrowed, she couldn"t restrain herself to ask: "You are newlyweds?"
"You could say it like that."Guan Xin Mu laughed and answered.
"It"s good, talented man and beautiful woman, you are really an ideal couple." The lady boss laughed nicely, she complimented them for a few other words.
Guan Xin Mu couldn"t tolerate the compliments, her heart was blossoming.
Compare to this, she was happy that Gu Xi Ran"s condition was gradually in control, the blood-clot in her brain was finally gone, her eyesight was recovered, her blood pressure was steady, and her test result was showing to be okay. Fei Jun gradually decreased his visit to the hospital, sometimes he would bring her together to the hospital. Every time Gu Shu Ying looked at Fei Jun"s coming, she would smile, her eyes were full happiness and joy. But when she noticed Guan Xin Mu, she would control her emotion, and very courteously greeted her.
After a long time, Guan Xin Mu also gradually understood Gu Shu Ying. All her action also because of her daughter, as a result she couldn"t help to call her "Auntie Gu."
Fei Jun"s green project was entered a stop, Fei company high cla.s.s shareholders had experience the largest fluctuate they ever have since the beginning the company was established.The situation was bizarre that let people to discuss it spiritedly. The outside world were guessing this time it was a throughly transformation. Fei Jun"s real power perhaps would be stripped by his great uncle, Fei Mao Xuan. Afterwards he would change into a mere skeleton, he would be just a puppet that controlled by Fei Mao Xuan. They, uncle and nephew, always seems to be in harmony however belies they had underlying disagreement. It just they never showed in the surface. Later on, every Fei Jun"s actions would be hold back by his uncle.
After two months, Fei company and Jiang company together decided to cooperate in joint venture of gulf engineering project, they officially launched the project. Jiang company hold 49% of the share, this means after the project was smoothly put into operation, Jiang company would be in control of the investment proportion and get one"s share of one hundred million Yuan benefit.
There is a public outcry.
Guan Xin Mu received Chen Wan"s call. Chen Wan was kind, which was really rare for her, she said: "Xin Mu, I had something to say to you, look for a day to come to my house."
Guan Xin Mu was somewhat suspicious about her intention, why was her att.i.tude so different from her usual self?
Luckily on the Wednesday in the afternoon there was a communal meal, Guan Xin Mu made an excuse to skip it. She took a taxi to Chen Wan"s family. She thought it was not a good thing to go there empty-handed, so she especially let the driver to go to the shopping street near Chen Wan"s house and stopped there for a while. She went there to buy a bit of fruits and food. She picked two large plastic bags, and walked around fifteen minutes to Chen Wan"s house.
When she got in the house, she smelled a tea and cake"s sweet smells. Chen Wan was sitting down on the sofa, when she noticed her coming, she immediately smiled: "You buy something?"
"Just a few things." Guan Xin Mu pa.s.sed the plastic bags to the auntie.
The auntie took it and placed it tidily, then she retreated.
On the marble coffee table in the living room was full of cakes and teas, some of them were still hot, and so aromatic, and appeared to be provoke appet.i.te.
"Xin Mu, have you eat your lunch?" Chen Wan asked.
"I"ve eaten." Guan Xin Mu laughed, "I"ve eat a bento."
"Then just eat some snacks with me." Chen Wan said and personally she poured the hot tea for Guan Xin Mu. "This is Qimen black tea, Jun Jun said you didn"t reject this tea."
Guan Xin Mu"s both hands were holding this warm tea, immediately she was relax. Although she didn"t know what the reason of Chen Wan"s wants to meet, yet at least this moment, the atmosphere was quite happy. She looked at the snacks on the table and felt somewhat hungry. Chen Wan said: "Eat some, we will just talk later."
Guan Xin Mu was also didn"t reject it, she accompanied her to eat some snacks. Chen Wan also started to chat with her with different kinds of topics, asked about her health, her parents. Guan Xin Mu answered it all.
"I"ve eat quite a lot." Guan Xin Mu drank the tea, and asked curiously: "Ma, why are you looking for me?"
Chen Wan smiled, and took a stuff from her back, she opened it for Guan Xin Mu to look: "In the previous days, I found a person to fortune-telling your relationship with Fei Jun. Actually it should be done before the wedding, but that time I was so busy so I delayed this thing."
Guan Xin Mu took the paper, on it was written the man is water and the woman is fire. Fire-water husband and wife was not match, because they will mutually destructive, half time marriage predestined by fate, half a lifetime will be worrisome.
"Ma, what is this mean?" Guan Xin Mu didn"t understand it.
"This means that your marriage with Jun Jun was not suitable." Chen Wan said faintly.
Her heart was being slapped, Guan Xin Mu was looking at Chen Wan"s calm expression, this time she felt nervous and empty, in a short moment, she said: "Ma, how could you believe this thing? Whether it was suitable or not it is me and Fei Jun that know."
"Right, this matter couldn"t be able to be trust fully, yet sometimes this was really accurate." Chen Wan turned to be serious, said slowly: "Xin Mu, speak truthfully from earlier I already examined your marriage carefully. That time I was just helpless because Fei Jun said he certainly will marry you. So I just forced to accept it. That time Mao Lin just pa.s.sed away, so I didn"t really concentrate on it. Looking at Fei Jun"s determination, I was hesitated."
Chen Wan"s said slowly and calm. Her eyes were really serious and not easily opposed let Guan Xin Mu finally aware of Chen Wan"s words today were really from her mature deliberations. She sat on the opposite, clearly she was fully-prepared, yet Guan Xin Mu have prepared any argument to against her.
"Jun Jun is very outstanding. From his young age, he could memorized Tang poetry and Song poetry, did arithmetic problems. Everyone complimented him a little child prodigy. He always be my pride. He is the best matter and education from me and Mao Lin. For his better future prospects, for parent"s heart, I think you could understand these. Because he is a man, his business and marriage are really important. A good marriage could bring him more platform, yet a bad one would bring him burden. From earlier I already understand this matter, as a result during the time he chose a spouse I was especially cautious." Chen Wan said it while looking at Guan Xin Mu"s expression, "Forgive me to say something like this, you didn"t suitable for him, I didn"t mean you are not match or not with him. After all nowadays this era there is a freedom to love, everyone"s way of thinking would be different. So I couldn"t a.s.sert that you don"t match him, but I could specify that you don"t suitable for him."
"Xin Mu, freedom to love didn"t mean freedom of marriage." Chen Wan sighed, "Do you understand?"
Guan Xin Mu"s eyes were cold, and laughed of herself: "Ma, just said it straight-forwardly."
Chen Wan shook her head, and methodically arranged said: "Fei company biggest shareholder is Jun Jun"s great uncle, because some reasons, he was already fighting openly and maneuvering covertly with Mao Ling for several years. Before Mao Ling pa.s.sed away, Mao Ling also worried about this problem about who would be the ultimate person-in charge in the company, this is really important. Fei company is Mao Ling"s everything, also Jun Jun"s everything. As a man, his all dignity, future, value was on it. He couldn"t lose."
"Now the gulf project is the jointly cooperation of his big uncle with Jiang company. This project if could be successful, Fei company"s situation will be define." Chen Wan said.
"Do you know Jiang Bo Yuan"s ability? He is the second child of Jiang Jun Wu, he was a rebel. During his twenty nine years old, he declared to separate himself with his father. After he stated it and he started to establish a company. During the financial tsunami, his father"s company was almost bankrupt, can you guess what happen next? At the crucial moment, Jiang Bo yuan helped him, he went out to dine with several peoples and reporters got the photo of it, the next day his father"s company stock ascended. If it was not Jiang Bo Yuan"s help, Jiang Jun Wu would lost of it."
"Your meaning, Fei Jun needed Jiang Bo Yuan"s help?" Guan Xin Mu sighed, "You really underestimate Fei Jun."
"It"s not the matter of underestimate him." Chen Wan said, "Xin Mu, I"d been by Mao Lin side for 30 years, I"d seen how he pa.s.sed by the wind and rain, I saw a lot. In the business the most important was rights and benefits balance. And fate and opportunity. You need to depend on your ability to be success yet also need to see if G.o.d will give the chance or not. Jun Jun is an outstanding businessman, but sometimes he too much alone."
"So your meaning is to let me leave Fei Jun?!" Guan Xin Mu raised her body up, she looked unbelievable to Che Wan, "It"s your meaning right?"
"I just give some advice, you don"t need to be this emotional." Chen Wan said, "Love is not really important to her, it is his last priority. The most important was the his value that reflect on Fei company. His future, his all was inseparably linked with Fei company. If he lost it, I will not willing to accept and he would suffer a great failure and rejection, do you understand?"
"I don"t understand." Guan Xin Mu shook, her eyes gradually turned empty, "Ma, do you really that hate me? Where is my wrong?"
"It"s not the matter of wrong or not, just you don"t suit him." Chen Wan raised her body, she pulled the cape on her shoulder, "I could say I personally indeed don"t like you because you don"t match my expectation and criteria of daughter-in law. Fei Jun is caring and love you, but what can you bring for him? This is the most realistic thing, marriage is not love, is not freedom. What the most needed for marriage is satisfaction. I ask you, what have you done for Jun Jun? Jun Jun is not like the most man, he could cook everyday for you, pamper you to be happy. But when he is in difficult situation what could you do for him? You even couldn"t give him….. a child."
"Who says that I could give him a cild?" Guan Xin Mu"s voice was somewhat shivered, "We both are healthy, when it"s time, we will have it."
"Doctor Zhuan had said to me, even your problem is not really big but also not really small too. I gave you both time. But this time have you mention it to me?" Chen Wan said, "But the fact proved, you still couldn"t."
"What can you bring for him? Except love, what could you give for him? I couldn"t see any." Chen Wan shook head.
"Is marriage an exchange of benefits? In your eyes except this realistic benefit, there is no other?" Guan Xin Mu protested, "I said I can give him love, do you believe it?"
Chen Wan laughed bitterly, and said: "I have said what he needed most, your love is truthfully invaluable."
……
"So you want me to leave Fei Jun, let him to be together with Jiang Bo Yuan"s daughter?!" Guan Xin Mu laughed coldly, "You want to say this right?"
Chen Wan"s face appeared a cramped expression, and said: "I didn"t say it."
"You just think that way." Guan Xin Mu said, "I just help you to said it. Because she is Jiang Bo Yuan"s daughter. She is valuable. For you Fei Jun"s relation with her is the most worthwhile business, the largest benefit, and me? I just couldn"t help him with anything. You look down at me."
Didn"t wait until Chen Wan said anything, Guan Xin Mu continued: "But I want to say I also look down at you because in your eyes except money and power, you have nothing! Because of this, you unexpectedly want to ruin your son"s marriage. I found it to be extremely absurd and funny! You know what Fei Jun needed most? Have you really understand him? Do you care if he live happy or not? Or you just care about yourself? I….. I will not leave Fei Jun."
After said it, Guan Xin Mu picked her bag, turned her body, and left.
"Do you really understand what he needed?!" Chen Wan raised her voice, her voice was full of condemnation, "Are you willing to look at his downfall? This is what you call your love? Except empty words, you can"t do anything."
Guan Xin Mu turned her body to look at her, Chen Wan"s eyes was full of coldness and rejection.
"You want Jun Jun to regard you as little kid that need to be spoilt forever? You really love him? I don"t understand your young people love, yet I know for love sometimes need to sacrifice, but not demand. What have you sacrifice for him
