Chapter 917: Slight Awkwardness
They still had to eat dinner.
Fu Jiuxiao let go of Jiang Li, turned around, and picked up the juice. He gently shook it and took a sip.
He was very satisfied with this taste.
Jiang Li narrowed her eyes, took a breath, and licked the corner of Fu Jiuxiao’s mouth again.
Fu Jiuxiao’s eyes became dimmer and dimmer. It seemed that before eating dinner, he wanted to eat Jiang Li more.
Jiang Li’s stomach suddenly made a slight sound, which made the beautiful and charming atmosphere suddenly become stiff, making her blush.
She quickly sat up straight, took another gla.s.s of juice expressionlessly, and slowly took a sip.
She liked this taste too.
As for the accident not long ago, they could just let it pa.s.s quietly.
Fu Jiuxiao did not take it seriously at first, but when he noticed Jiang Li’s expression and small movements, he hugged Jiang Li’s waist and kissed her earlobe.
“Shy? No way?” Fu Jiuxiao reached out to touch Jiang Li’s face and found that it was really a little hot.
He leaned on Jiang Li’s shoulder and smiled.
Jiang Li twisted her arm hard and kept a distance from Fu Jiuxiao. She blushed and said unhappily, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand. I’m going to eat dinner first. I have to work overtime tonight.”
She said a lot of things in one breath, but all of them were to cover up the embarra.s.sing incident not long ago. It exposed her thoughts even more clearly, and she could not really lie to herself. She could only blush and endure it first.
Nothing made her feel more uncomfortable than this.
Fu Jiuxiao quickly put away her smile and held Jiang Li’s hand that was about to cover her face. He gently held her hand and coaxed her, “My Li is the best.”
“You have already seen me at my most pathetic state. Can’t I see yours?”
Jiang Li took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She felt that Fu Jiuxiao’s words made sense.
They had already seen each other step by step, so why would they care about such a small thing?
Moreover, she was really hungry.
Jiang Li perked up and smiled at Fu Jiuxiao. Then, she started to eat her dinner seriously.
As for the ambiguous atmosphere before, it had completely disappeared.
Fu Jiuxiao did not seem to be filling his stomach, but more like he was tasting the food. After tasting every dish, he gave a very pertinent evaluation.
The restaurant was very good, and they could eat here often in the future.
“But, we can still send food home. Which one do you want?” Fu Jiuxiao asked gently.
Of course, it would be healthy and comfortable for the family to send three meals a day, but Jiang Li was worried.
There were the two sisters-in-laws in the Fu family, Li Shuwan and Meng Zhi, and they did not like her at all.
If Li Shuwan dared to attack Meng Zhi in the Fu family, would she not tamper with the food?
Jiang Li had suffered losses more than once, and she did not want to try it again.
“Let’s go to the restaurant.” Jiang Li smiled lightly, picked up her cup, and clinked it with Fu Jiuxiao’s.
“Thank you for your help, President Fu.”
Fu Jiuxiao clinked his cup with Jiang Li’s, but his face turned pale, and he was clearly not in a good mood.
Why?
Of course, it was because Jiang Li’s answer made him think of the current situation of the Fu family.
Some people did not have the ability and only knew how to cause trouble. They used methods that harmed others but did not benefit themselves to deal with the other members of the Fu family.
Sooner or later, they would attract a bigger disaster.
Jiang Li finally had her fill and leaned back in her chair contentedly. She found that Fu Jiuxiao was eating slowly and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed. She could not help but recall their previous conversation, and her heart was filled with jealousy.
She held Fu Jiuxiao’s hand back and gently advised him, “Old Master is old after all. It’s understandable that he wants a harmonious family.”
It was understandable, but it did not mean that they were willing to accept it.
Old Master Fu was transferring all the risks to Fu Jiuxiao, forcing Fu Jiuxiao to bear all the responsibilities of the Fu family while sharing all the benefits.
The most infuriating thing was that the person who got the benefits wanted more and even thought that he would do better than Fu Jiuxiao.
Jiang Li took out a tissue and gently pressed on the corner of Fu Jiuxiao’s mouth. She said with a smile, “Xiao, didn’t you think of it?”
Think of what?
Fu Jiuxiao was still troubled when he heard Jiang Li’s words. He turned to look at her.
Could it be that Jiang Li had another little idea?
Yes, she did.
Jiang Li thought of Fu Yusheng’s strange behavior after he returned, and she suggested, “You can arrange for them to compete for positions, and let them fight each other. If it gets too ugly, the old man will understand that letting them eat the dividends in peace is the best arrangement.”
Let them enter the company?
That would be ridiculous, right?
Fu Jiuxiao pinched Jiang Li’s face and said lazily, “Our thoughts are the same, but they will cooperate first and compete later.”
Fu Yunze and Fu Yusheng would cooperate to deal with Fu Jiuxiao first, and then they would talk about the internal compet.i.tion of the company.
Jiang Li thought that these two guys were too naive.
“You mean that they will cooperate?” Jiang Li started to think.
Fu Jiuxiao arranged for Fu Yusheng to be in charge of sales, while Fu Yunze was in charge of quality control.
These were all very good positions, and they could also display their personal abilities and make great achievements. However, the content of the job was not suitable for them.
