Chapter 711: I’m Not Tired at All
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
For Shen Xi to address him as Mr. Fu, Fu Qingli sunk into a world of distress. It took everything in him to force a smile. ‘It’s late. You must be tired from staying up so long. This can wait until tomorrow.”
Shen Xi’s eyes lit up when it came to business. She shook her head. ‘I’m not tired. I’m not tired at all.”
Fu Qingli pondered for a while before muttering, “Let’s go to the study.”
“Give me a sec.” Shen Xi ran back into her bedroom and soon darted down the stairs, carrying a laptop in hand. ‘Come on.”
Fu Qingxuan and Fu Qingye were at a loss as the duo took off to the study. As if one workaholic was not enough, here came another.
Hearing the commotion, Li Yuan opened the door and managed to catch a glimpse of Shen Xi and Fu Qingli disappearing into a room. He tured to Fu Qingxuan and Fu Qingye. ‘Where did Xixi go?”
The pair spoke in unison, bearing a hint of helpless lament. “To talk business.”
Li Yuan’s eyes reflected disappointment. His fair lady never talked business with him, nor did she ever bring up anything to do with business. Yet, she got along with Fu Qingli. The chat in the living room was not enough that she had to continue in the study.
Fu Qingli made a good working associate.
However, the same went for Li Yuan too.
Fu Qingli and Shen Xi got down to business in the study.
On the other side, the trio sat on the sofa and watched TV since they were no longer in the mood to sleep.
Picking up on the noise, Fu Handing opened the door and found the people sitting side by side on the living room couch in front of the TV. He asked them, “Why aren’t you in bed at this hour?”
The trio glanced at him and answered together, “To talk business.”
Fu Handing could not make head or tail. What business? He walked down the stairs to get a better answer and found out that his son and daughter ran off to talk business. Fu Handing was caught between tears and laughter as this was absurd. The whole Fu family belonged to them, so why the need to discuss
business?
The volume of the TV was adjusted to a minimum. The lot would look at the study every now and then.
Shen Xi was really getting into it with Fu Qingli in the study. They were at odds sometimes, causing a minor dispute, but it always ended with one party concurring, All in all, it was a successful meeting.
Fu Qingli went from being fascinated to being in awe. Shen Xi’s knowledge, vision, and insights were a breath of fresh air. Her Cosmos Short Vid alone was not only a guaranteed cash cow, but the weight of its presence would also take off when it dominated the global market. The payment system she talked
about was another success waiting to happen.
The Fu family would have the global economic lifeline in the palm of their hands if they rolled out the payment system to the world.
Shen Xi and Yuan Yu’s Cosmos Entertainment would at most find success within the walls of China while rolling the system out to the world to dominate the global market was out of their hands. However, the Fu family was very much capable of doing so.
Fu Qingli had full understanding of the value and huge market potential in her ideas. He asked, “Why didn’t you go to Li Yuan?”
She and Cosmos Entertainment may not be able to make it happen, but Li Yuan had accessible resources just like the Fu family. Surely, Li Yuan could put her ideas to work if he put his mind into it.
“Talking business with your own people would only cause a strain in relationships.’ Shen Xi blurted without a second thought.
She hoped her relationship with Li Yuan was kept purely sentimental without the involvement of profit and money, so this never came up in her conversations with Li Yuan. She never discussed work in front of Li Yuan.
Fu Qingli was stabbed hard in the heart. Shen Xi would not discuss it with Li Yuan because he was her people. Was Fu Qingli not lumped into the category?
Realizing how hurtful she came across, Shen Xi added. “I don’t mean that. What I’m trying to say is… Are you hungry?”
Explain, her foot.
She meant what she said.
Shen Xi had been meaning to discuss the prospects of a deal with him. Had it not been because he gave her such a bad attitude, the project would have taken off and the app would have been developed for use by now.
With Shen Xi switching the subject, Fu Qingli believed she did not see him much as an outsider. She probably was embarrassed to explain herself. At least, that was what he told himself. Fu Qingli nodded his head.
Shen Xi suggested, “I brought some self-heating hotpot and river snail rice noodles. What do you fancy?”
Fu Qingli replied, “You have a sore throat, so you should stay away from heavy flavors. We have bread at home. I’l go and grab some.”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore. I’m all better.” Shen Xi grimaced.
For God’s sake, she had an appetite for something flavorful. Li Yuan had been on her case during dinner, washing out the braised meat before giving them to her. She barely tasted anything.
Fu Qingli skeptically looked at her. ‘Really?”
Shen Xi tapped on the torchlight function on her phone and passed it to him so he could inspect her mouth. She opened wide. ‘Check it yourself if you don’t believe me. Nothing is swollen inside.”
Fu Qingli scanned around before calmly saying, ‘Tl get Xuan to take a look.”
Shen Xi panicked. ‘’m a doctor, you know!”
Fu Qingli retorted, “Doctors don’t treat themselves, Dr. Jiu Zhou.”
Shen Xi could just shoot herself in the foot.
The people outside the study were still hanging around. Fu Qingxuan came into the study to check her throat and gave his medical opinion. ‘The tonsils are still swollen. You’re on a bland diet for the next two days.
With Shen Xi needing a hunger fix, everything was feeling the same.
Fu Qingxuan grabbed a few boxes of hotpot and two boxes of river snail rice noodles.
Shen Xi only brought along her favorite flavors such as spicy, numbing spicy, and super spicy. There was none of the clear or tomato broth.
Soon, the waft of hotpot fragrance filled the living room.
Deep in slumberland, Shangguan Yanqiu and Fu Jungiu were awakened by the smell. The aroma was not heavy and grew faint as it trailed along, but their keen senses still managed to pick up on it.
The ladies walked out of the room and noticed that Fu Handing, together with the children, were gathered in the living room. The TV was also tumed on. It was such a lively scene.
Instead of sitting on the sofa, Fu Qingxuan and Shen Xi were crouching by the coffee table with chopsticks in hand as they were greedily fixated on the containers on the table in complete synchronization.
Shangguan Yanqiu helplessly smiled with adoration in her eyes.
Fu Jungiu took her phone to snap a picture of them both before showing it to Shangguan Yanqiu. “Look at them. Aren’t they an exact copy of each other?”
Shangguan Yangiu nodded. They were. Prior to the reveal of Xixi’s identity, Shangguan Yangiu often got the feeling that Xixi was her daughter when Xixi and Xuan were together since they were a spitting image.
“Mom, Aunt Jungiu, did we wake you up? Fu Qingye was first to notice the ladies. Feeling embarrassed, he asked.
They must have been loud to wake Mom and Aunt Jungiu from their sleep. Usually, no amount of alarm clocks could get Aunt Jungiu out of bed..
