“Has Fu Qingquan consented to these HR changes? What right do you have to stop me from entering my office? Even if you’re firing someone, you need to act according to the procedure. You should allow me to go in and take my things. Can Fu Huai’an act so unreasonably just because he became the chairman?”
Fu Tianci’s hands froze when he heard Lu Qingmei’s voice. He briskly strode in the direction of that voice.
Lu Qingmei was standing outside the gla.s.s pa.s.sword-secured door of the chairman’s office with a grim face, holding onto her Hermes bag as she ordered the security guard to open the pa.s.sword-secured door.
“President Lu, we have already taken all of your belongings and placed them into your office. Furthermore, the HR department sent out notices of the HR personnel adjustments overnight. Your office has been s.h.i.+fted to the 18th floor!” Fu Huai’an’s secretary tried to speak nicely with Lu Qingmei.
“Who permitted you to touch my things without my consent? Do you know who I am? How dare you touch my things!” Lu Qingmei was so furious that she was trembling all over.
Fu Tianci walked towards the sound. Seeing Lu Qingmei’s face, which had turned green from anger, Fu Tianci opened the door from inside and called out, “Mom…”
Outside the gla.s.s door, Lu Qingmei paused in surprise upon hearing Fu Tianci’s voice. Seeing this son of hers come out from inside, Lu Qingmei felt her entire heart tense up.
She reached out a hand to pull Fu Tianci towards her, to s.h.i.+eld him by her side. She retreated two steps backward with her a.s.sistant, to increase the distance between her and the security guards.
“Why were you inside?” Lu Qingmei sized Fu Tianci up nervously. “Did Fu Huai’an take you inside? What did he ask you to do? Did he get you to sign some agreement to transfer your a.s.sets to him?”
Previously, at the Fu manor, Fu Tianci had said something like that to Fu Huai’an. To this day, Lu Qingmei felt panicked when she recalled that memory, fearing that this brat would really do something like that!
“Mom, what are you thinking about?” Fu Tianci frowned. “Didn’t I tell you that I was going to Jinjiang TV Station to record a show today? Lin Nuan gave me a lift here! I was planning to eat lunch with Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan at noon!”
Upon hearing Fu Tianci’s heartless words about wanting to eat lunch with Fu Huai’an and Lin Nuan, Lu Qingmei felt her blood boil instantly. “What lunch! The Kaide Corporation is about to become someone else’s, yet you’re in the mood to eat lunch with the person who’s s.n.a.t.c.hing it from you!”
Fu Tianci was at a loss for words.
“Mom, what twisted logic is this?” Fu Tianci impatiently pried away Lu Qingmei’s hand that was holding his wrist forcefully. “Fu Huai’an didn’t take my dad’s shares. None of that 53.4% was from my father. Whatever belonged to my dad still belongs to him! Whatever ought to belong to me still belongs to me! How could you say he’s s.n.a.t.c.hing it away from me!”
“This child!” Lu Qingmei looked infuriated. “Look at how I’ve been relegated to the 18th floor without him telling me first! Do you think that you’ll still have a place to stand in the Kaide Corporation in the future?”
“I never had plans to enter the Kaide Corporation!” Fu Tianci didn’t look like he was lying, despite his lackadaisical manner. “I don’t have capabilities in this area. If the Kaide Corporation were to land in my hands, it might very well just collapse! Look how great things are now. In the future, when Dad transfers his shares to me, I won’t need to do anything, and I’ll still have a never-ending income!”
“Fu Tianci!” Lu Qingmei was so mad that she delivered a hard slap to Fu Tianci’s arm. “Can you be a little more driven and let Mom worry less about you! What bewitching potion has Fu Huai’an fed you exactly?”
“Mom…” Fu Tianci rubbed his arm, which was aching from Lu Qingmei’s slap. “If it’s mine, no one can s.n.a.t.c.h it away from me. If it’s not, we can’t force things! Why can’t you see this despite living until this age!”
Lu Qingmei’s expression turned even darker, and she grabbed Fu Tianci’s arm. “Come with me!”
“I’m eating with Lin Nuan and Fu Huai’an later!” The displeased Fu Tianci walked slowly in his refusal to cooperate.
“Hurry!” Lu Qingmei twisted her head, a threatening look in her eyes, looking like she might smack Fu Tianci in the head with her bag at any moment.
Fu Tianci frowned. Although he was unwilling, he didn’t disobey Lu Qingmei’s orders. He turned around and said to the secretary standing at the door, “Tell Lin Nuan that I’m leaving with my mom. I’ll eat with them another day!”
The secretary nodded his head respectfully with a smile, then watched as Lu Qingmei yanked Fu Tianci away with her. Throughout, he maintained an official smile on his face.
Inside the office, when the secretary entered to pour Lin Nuan tea, he informed her that Fu Tianci had left with Lu Qingmei and that he wouldn’t be able to eat lunch with her and Fu Huai’an later.
Lin Nuan nodded and asked the secretary, “Is Huai’an almost done with his meeting?”
“I estimate it’ll end soon. If Mrs. Fu is in a hurry, I’ll go get Mr. Little Lu to ask Chairman Fu how much longer it’s going to take!” the secretary said.
“It’s okay!” Lin Nuan shook her head. “I’ll just wait here!”
The secretary smiled and nodded, then left the office.
Left all alone in the office, Lin Nuan sat on the single-seater sofa, holding her wrist with the other hand, her mind filled with her thoughts and speculations about what Fu Huai’an and Qin Zhe had talked about.
With the sound of the large clock ticking away in her ears, she closed her eyes and recalled that Xing Feng had looked for her to ask her to take on a show.
Was it really Fu Huai’an who asked Xing Feng to look for her? Was it a decision made after Qin Zhe left?
Just as she was deep in thought, the office door opened. Lin Nuan opened her eyes and looked in the direction of the door.
Fu Huai’an came in from outside. He was holding a doc.u.ment file and just closing the door when he saw Lin Nuan with her eyes closed. He asked, “Are you tired?”
As Fu Huai’an’s mature and steady voice entered her ears, Lin Nuan couldn’t hold back her emotions anymore. She got up and ran straight into his embrace, wrapping her slender arms tightly around his narrow waist.
Fu Huai’an retreated backward from the forceful impact of Lin Nuan charging into his arms, his back knocking against the door.
Outside the door, Little Lu, who was about to turn around and leave, was startled. He hesitated about whether he should knock on the door and ask Fu Huai’an if there was anything he needed help with.
After pausing outside the door for about 30 seconds and not hearing any calls for help from inside, Little Lu returned to the secretary’s office with an enlightened expression, asking everyone not to send doc.u.ments to Fu Huai’an’s office for the time being.
Inside the office.
Lin Nuan tightly held onto Fu Huai’an and refused to let go. He smiled and lowered his head to kiss the top of her head.
It wasn’t as if Fu Huai’an was unaware of Lin Nuan’s insecurity.
Since Qin Zhe appeared at the door of their new residence, after hearing the story from Qin Zhe, Lin Nuan had remained in a tense state.
“Qin Zhe is under surveillance now. He’s merely asking me to help send him back to Dubai…” Fu Huai’an said to Lin Nuan.
Originally, Lin Nuan found it hard to bring up the topic. Since Fu Huai’an mentioned it first, Lin Nuan looked up and gazed at him. “Have you agreed to it? Would it be dangerous?”
