Chapter 10

-law. It's just a matter of these few days, calling it in advance to get used to it" 。"A-Zheng, I'm not in a hurry." 。"Shen Wei said embarrassedly:" 。Fu Yanchu's fingers clenched into fists in her po...Ji Lin was sent back to the training ground by Fu Yan. After she finished eating and took a shower, she continued to sleep.

Song Qingshuang's phone call came in the evening.

She heard about the incident from Mrs. Chen. She thought the two of them were getting along well, but Mrs. Chen scolded her fiercely, and Fu Yan even got Chen Rang sent to the hospital.

Although she desperately wanted to see Fu Yan married into a wealthy family, when she learned her own daughter had almost been bullied, she cried with heartache and said on the phone that she was going to confront Mrs. Chen.

>

Fu Yan was worried that she would be retaliated against by the Chen family, so she quickly spoke up to stop her, "Mom, I didn't suffer any losses."

Song Qing霜 quickly rushed over and saw the wounds on her neck and hands, she cried again, gritting her teeth, "I'll go settle the score with them!"

"Mom!" Fu Yan got up and pulled her, enduring the pain in her body as she pressed her onto the sofa. "How do you calculate this"

“Elder Master Chen spoke, whoever gives birth to a grandson for Mr. Chen can be given shares. Mrs. Chen asked her son-in-law to find a bride, hoping to have a grandson soon. His reputation is bad, no good girl wants to marry him, so she set her sights on me, lured you in. Now that Chen Rang has been stabbed into the hospital and is being investigated by the police, the Chen family is desperate, you'll only be their punching bag.”

Song Qing霜 swallowed her anger. "What do you suggest we do then"

Fu Yan stuffed a pillow behind her back and sighed, "Chen Rang got stabbed by me. He deserved it, and I won't swallow my anger."

Song Qingfrost was persuaded for a while before she calmed down. She had no choice but to stay put first.

It's just that she had doubts in her heart, "I heard that Chen Rang was investigated because the Huo family opened their mouths. How could they help us"

Ji Lin said that Huo Mingzheng opened his mouth, wanting Chen Rang to stay in jail for a few more years.

Chen Rang's punishment for the harm inflicted on Yan was only around three years, and the charge of imprisonment couldn't be fabricated. The police had to conduct a thorough investigation.

Chen's family dared not speak out in anger. In Nanshi, they couldn't offend anyone but the Huo family.

Mrs. Chen had originally planned that Mrs. Fu and her daughter would be ostracized by the Huo family, even if they were bullied by Chen Rang, the Huo family wouldn't care. She never expected the Huo family to stand up for them.

"Is it Huo Mingzheng" Song Qing霜 guessed. With Huo Mingzheng in charge of the Huo family now, she couldn't imagine it being anyone else.

Fu Yan's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Song Qing霜 was overthinking things. It was mainly because she felt guilty.

She explained, “After all, we are part of Uncle Ho's family. Uncle Ho entrusted them to take care of us before he passed away. If we were bullied, the Huo family wouldn't just abandon us.”

Fortunately, Song Qing霜 didn't think too much about it and accepted this reasonable-sounding explanation.

......

Fu Yan went to work on Monday and specially wore a high-necked shirt to cover the gauze bandage on her neck.

The wound on her hand couldn't be hidden. When a colleague she got along with asked her about it, she just said that she cut herself with a kitchen knife while cooking at home on the weekend.

"Sister, I heard we have a new general manager," the intern next door whispered.

She belonged to Fu Yan's group and always called her "Sister Yan, Sister Yan."

"Deputy Director Xiao should be promoted as well."

Fu Yan was on one side, working at her computer while looking at her. The previous general manager had been promoted, and the position of project department general manager has been vacant ever since. The deputy general manager is quite capable; it's time for him to take over.

The intern shook his head. "I heard it wasn't, it was a parachutist. When I came this morning, they were all buzzing about it."

Fu Yan frowned, but such things were common in the workplace. Unless one had exceptional abilities, those who were parachuted in were mostly relatives of high-ranking officials or nobles.

"Deputy Director Xiao is so pitiful, it was her turn." The intern sighed with regret, experiencing the harsh realities of the workplace for the first time.

Fu Yan gave her a candy. "Don't be so down, I'll take you to buy milk tea later."

The intern nodded vigorously, and his face instantly lit up with a smile.

On Monday morning, Fu Yan sat in her usual seat at the meeting and put her phone on silent.

The door to the conference room creaked open once more. The hushed whispers of the people inside seemed to cease abruptly as if a mute button had been pressed. Fu Yanxin knew exactly who it was: the new director had arrived.

She raised her head and was stunned.

"Hello everyone, I'm Shen Wei, your new director of marketing. I look forward to working with all of you."

The conference room erupted in thunderous applause.

Fu Yan slowed down by half a beat and clapped along with everyone else.

Shen Wei is elegant and composed. She's around the same age as Fu Yan, beautiful and fashionable, having graduated from a prestigious foreign university. Her resume is impressive.

After introducing herself, she immediately dove into work, listening to everyone's work reports.

Perhaps Fu Yan had overthought it, but she always felt that Shen Wei’s gaze seemed to linger on her with a hint of something more.

After the meeting, Fu Yan went to the tea room to pour water and heard people discussing her.

Normally, she wouldn't care, but she also heard the name Shen Wei.

"Sure enough, she's a formidable Fu Yan. Even with more beautiful women, her position won't be shaken. Shen Wei is already stunning, yet she's still outshined by Fu Yan."

"I went to university with Fu Yan, she was a school flower at Nanjing University, truly deserving of the title!"

"What use is a woman being just pretty I was just chatting with my friend, and heard that General Manager Shen is quite influential."

"What"

She is getting engaged.

What about the engagement

She's getting married to the Huo family, Huo Mingzheng. What do you think

"My goodness, how lucky!"

Fu Yanmo walked in silently. The gossiping few immediately changed the subject when they saw her, pouring water and washing fruit.

Fu Yan also didn't expect that Huo Mingzheng's fiancée would become her superior.

But she didn't dwell on the problem for long. Back at her desk, she got right back to work.

There was a contract that needed to be amended in the evening, and I was so busy that I worked past my shift. Everyone else had left.

She turned off the computer and got up. Just then, the door to the manager's office opened.

"You're working overtime too" Shen Wei raised his eyebrows.

Fu Yan nodded, "Modify the contract details."

Shen Wei nodded and walked into the elevator beside her.

Both were about the same height. The intern secretly checked their information and compared them, saying that Fu Yan was still a bit taller.

It's a department tradition, whenever a young and pretty one arrives, they always sneakily take out their rouge to compare.

"Sis, you don't realize you're a beauty template"

To strangers, Fu Yan had nothing to say. She stood quietly aside, waiting for the elevator to travel down from the thirty-second floor.

"Pay attention, Shen." Shen Wei suddenly spoke.

Fu Yan turned her head to look at her.

“Do you remember when we met at Tianshui Tower that day” Shen Wei’s lips curved into a beautiful smile, making him appear approachable.

Fu Yan denied, "You had dinner with your second brother."

Shen Wei nodded, gazing at Fu Yan's face, "I also heard from A Zheng that you are Huo Wu Shu's daughter."

Fu Yan held his fingers without changing her expression.

"You're doing well. In a while, Deputy Director Xiao might be transferred. When that happens, I'll recommend you to higher management."

"Then I'll take my leave of General Shen first." Fu Yan smiled in response, not saying much more.

After leaving the company, Fu Yan stopped a taxi and went back to Huo's mansion. She had something to confirm with Song Qing霜.

Back at Huo's Mansion, it was past dinner time. Clusters of lights flickered on, illuminating the flowers, trees, and plants in the courtyard, making them seem like a dream.

The fish pond in front was under repair, with piles of stones and cement. Fu Yan could only take a detour.

"Old Master Chen came to visit in person today, asking if we could let his grandson go. You've been getting soft lately too, how come you suddenly care about what happens to that girl"

Someone was talking in the corridor. Fu Yan instinctively stopped and stood behind a tree.

Ho Mingzheng's voice was like the cold wind, sweeping into her heart one gust at a time, "The Chen family has bullied the Huo family to its head. Even beating a dog should consider its master."uo sat on the grand master's chair, having already broken two sets of cups.From afar, he heard the butler call out, "Young Master Two!" He got up with his cane and angrily pointed at the ground. "Get...
