“President Fang, what are you doing?” Special Assistant Liu exclaimed, forcefully pushing the card back into Fang Liguo’s hands.
Undeterred, Fang Liguo persisted, attempting to hand the card back to Special Assistant Liu. Eventually, the card slipped from their grasp and fell to the ground, catching the attention of everyone present.
“President Fang, you’re openly attempting to bribe me. This could cost me my job!” Special Assistant Liu fumed.
“Special Assistant Liu…” Fang Liguo tried to explain, but Special Assistant Liu shook him off and hurried after Wu Di, eager to distance himself from Fang Liguo.
“Special Assistant Liu, wait for me…” Fang Liguo disregarded his own embarrassment, retrieving the bank card from the ground and chasing after them. Spotting that they had already boarded their car and left, he hastily hailed a cab and instructed the driver, “Follow that car ahead.”
Inside the private room at Restaurant Eight.
Fang Yuan had been waiting patiently. When she saw Wu Di, now dressed formally, enter, she couldn’t resist a playful tease. “You’re starting to resemble a president more and more.”
“You are teasing me again.” Wu Di placed the report aside and presented a gift. “This is tea from the thousand-year-old ancient tea tree on Jade Emperor Peak. I brought it as a gesture of filial respect.”
“You make it sound like I’m ancient,” Fang Yuan quipped as she accepted the gift. “Let’s eat first.”
Meanwhile, Fang Liguo had managed to reach Restaurant 8 with some difficulty. After spending some money to find out that Wu Di was in the private room on the second floor, he headed up the stairs. As he ascended, he spotted Special Assistant Liu standing at the entrance to Room 1.
Special Assistant Liu also noticed him and didn’t anticipate Fang Liguo’s persistence. His initial reaction was that Fang Liguo intended to enter the private room forcefully, so he promptly blocked the door.
“Special Assistant Liu!” Fang Liguo approached with a friendly smile. “You’ve misunderstood. I have no intention of entering. I just want to wait for President Wu to come out so that I can speak with him.”
Special Assistant Liu: “President Wu has no interest in conversing with you.” Fang Liguo wore a constant smile on his face. “That can’t be true! We’ve had such a wonderful working relationship!”
Special Assistant Liu couldn’t help but snicker. “Ha! If it weren’t for President Fang, who would even consider partnering with your lackluster company? Our collaborations have never been pleasant.”
“Special Assistant Liu, would you mind sharing some details? Who is the person dining with President Wu in there?” Fang Liguo inquired with a flattering smile.
But Special Assistant Liu responded curtly, “I can’t disclose that.”
“Special Assistant Liu…” Fang Liguo still attempted to say something, but Special Assistant Liu cut him off. “President Wu won’t meet with you. President Fang, you should leave.”
Remaining composed, Fang Liguo stood by the door. After a while, a waiter entered the room to serve the dishes. Fang Liguo leaned in to gain some insight into the situation. Despite Special Assistant Liu’s efforts to prevent him, the sharp-eyed Fang Liguo managed to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure inside the private room.
Fang Yuan? What was she doing here? Was she the person Wu Di was in such a hurry to meet? It seemed impossible!
After waiting for some time, another waiter entered to serve more dishes. Fang Liguo peeked inside again and confirmed that it was indeed Fang Yuan sitting there. Furthermore, Wu Di, who was usually stern, displayed a surprising level of politeness and deference towards her. This was beyond belief.
“I-Isn’t that Fang Yuan?” The door to the private room closed once more. Fang Liguo looked at Special Assistant Liu in disbelief, but Special Assistant Liu paid him no mind.
Fang Liguo was utterly shocked. Several companies, including Wu Di’s, had abruptly terminated their collaborations. Could this be connected to Fang Yuan in some way?
What kind of relationship did Fang Yuan share with Wu Di? As he contemplated this, his shock deepened. Fang Yuan, Fangyuan Capital… He only just realized that the names Fangyuan Capital Group and Fang Yuan sounded remarkably similar. Could there be a connection between them? The thought raced through his mind, causing his heart to pound. He couldn’t fathom the possibility. How could that young woman be so capable? Perhaps her name was just a coincidental homonym…
Upon reflection, Wu Di’s unusual politeness towards Fang Yuan and her attempts to win her favor left Fang Liguo feeling uneasy. He waited outside the private room for an extended period, expecting Special Assistant Liu to return after a brief absence. However, even after a considerable wait, Special Assistant Liu failed to reappear. Concerned, Fang Liguo finally decided to open the door to the private room, only to discover it empty. Inquiring with the waiter, he learned of an alternative exit within the private room, and that Fang Yuan and Wu Di had left after their meal. This couldn’t stand; he needed to find out from Fang Yuan what exactly was happening.
Fang Yuan parted ways with Wu Di and on her way home received a call. Seeing the familiar number on her phone screen, she promptly hung up. Despite her efforts, Fang Liguo persisted, repeatedly calling her.
“What’s going on?” Fang Yuan finally answered the phone impatiently, her tone tinged with irritation.
“Yuanyuan, I’ll be straightforward. I saw you having dinner with the CEO of Fangyuan Capital Group earlier. Do you know each other well?” Fang Liguo inquired..
