What is going on?

Her mind was filled with confusion .
Her father got into a car accident at the start of July, and after that, their house was swarmed by debtors and money-lenders .
This was also when she and her mother found out that her father’s company, Gemei Real Estate, had bad logistics and was already in the negatives in terms of profit .
Her father was even ridden with debts from loan-shark companies .
However, if what her father had recorded in this journal was true, on what grounds was his company, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, able to clinch such a good deal?
Could it be that her father had managed to trick those people? Was that why he could snatch that project away from others?
She was extremely confused . She had an inkling that something was terribly amiss, but she could not put a finger to it .
She was in the middle of recalling that past event while holding the old journal tightly when the intercom on her work desk rang .
“Hello . ”
She cast away her feelings and answered the call .
“Boss Pei, your friend, CEO Fu, is here for a visit . ”
“Let him in . ”
She hung up after saying that .
A short while later, someone knocked on her office door .
Knock, knock, knock!

“Please come in . ”
She shook her head helplessly as she looked at the door . Inside, she muttered, This senior of mine is also a CEO, so why is he so free every day?
“Ge Ge, you can’t skip food even if you are busy . ”
He opened the office door and walked in while saying this concernedly .
She really felt exasperated as she eyed the lunch box in Fu Mingxuan’s hand .
“Senior, it’s not that I’m skipping food; I just want to finish my work first before eating . ”
She also felt very dispirited . For some reason, her senior would always invite her for a meal in the afternoon and at night every day no matter what the circumstances were .
Even if she did offer an excuse to reject him, he would still bring a lunch box to visit her at work, making her feel inexplicably embarrassed .
“Even if you are on a diet, you can’t skip eating . Quickly eat before you resume work . ” He walked to her desk with a grin .
“Fine, fine, fine . I’ll eat, then . ”
She could only stand up upon seeing this and follow him to the table where she received guests .
“I knew that you are busy with important things and need a lot of brain power, so I made some fish soup for you . ”
He looked at her fondly while opening the huge lunch box and laying the different layers on the table .
“Drink the soup while it’s still hot . It’s very fresh . ”
He smiled at her urgingly .

“Ah…” She received the fish soup he had passed over, feeling exasperated . Her lips moved, but she did not say anything in the end .
That was because she knew that her words would fall on deaf ears . After all, it was not her first time experiencing this, and it was definitely not his first time, either .
She dipped her head to look at the bowl of creamy white fish soup in her hands . The memory of how Ji Ziming seemed to love her fish soup flashed across her mind .
As she thought this, she could not help but feel a little down .
That was because…
Ever since she left the capital and disappeared from his life, that annoying fellow had never appeared before her .
She came up with plausible excuses on his behalf, but she slowly overturned them herself .
The reason was simple . Even if she was hidden well by his father… she was still in a branch company of the Ji Group .
Moreover, the distance between the two cities was not far . If he really wanted, how would it be impossible for him to find her?
When she thought of this, she felt bitterness in her heart .
She was originally thinking of letting that annoying fellow suffer from being unable to find her .
Alas…
“Ge Ge, what is it?”
Seeing her stare gloomily and blankly at the fish soup, Fu Mingxuan asked her this worriedly .
“I was just thinking of why Ji Ziming isn’t coming to see me . Am I really that hard to find?”

She could not help but say these mocking words in her heart aloud .
The man pursed his lips slightly at this and regarded her with a complicated look .
Why was his childhood friend unable to find this woman sitting in front of him?
Sigh… It was not that his friend had not looked for this woman; in fact, it was the opposite, and his mobilization was truly huge .
However, it could not be helped that his childhood friend’s father was much stronger and cleverer in his methods . Although he said that he had sent her to a branch company for training, this company was actually not a subsidiary of Ji Group .
In fact, this company’s true owner was not from the Ji family .
Of course… the most important reason was that he had lied to his good friend .
As a corollary, Ji Ziming never thought that she would be in Tianjin, which was not far from the capital and did not send people down here to look for her traces .
“Perhaps… he’s busy with work recently . ”
Fu Mingxuan still did not tell her the truth . Having hidden it for so long, he decided to take to the end .
“I’m also busy in Tianjin nowadays and seldom go back to the capital; I heard that he has gone overseas on a business trip again . ”
He buried the sliver of guilt he felt inside as he casually mentioned that .
“He went overseas again, huh…”
Did he go to see the woman he liked? Hur hur…
“Alright, Ge Ge . Quickly eat while it’s still hot . ”
Seeing her face fall again, he quickly urged her to eat again .
She knew that he did not want her to be unhappy, so she only smiled gratefully at him and dug in .
“Ge Ge, when are you going back?”
Noticing that she was happily enjoying her meal, his face involuntarily turned gentle as he looked at her dotingly .
“Me? Of course, I must wait until uncle Ji calls and lets me return there . ” She smiled and swallowed her food .
“Still, that day should be soon . After all, everyone can bear witness to the contributions you’ve made to the company . ” He nodded lightly upon hearing her reply and then praised her .
Who would have expected that she would be able to breathe life into this company, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, in such a short time?
If this were to happen to him or Ji Ziming, he would not feel this much admiration, but when since was her, a person who had ever held an assistant position since graduation, who managed to accomplish this much in such a short time, it was truly worthy of admiration .
This was especially since he had personally witnessed her growth .
“Stop talking nonsense . This company has just started operating properly, so where is the contribution you are talking about?”
She waved this away with a smile .
“I’ll wait until Jiaheng starts making a profit officially before making it back!”
Studying the clarity, confidence, and sparkle in her dark eyes, he could not help but sigh in awe inside .
As expected of the girl I took a fancy!
