422 Arranged Marriage In Childhood
“Uncle Shen.” Fu Ying pulled out a chair and sat down as he greeted Shen Ke politely.
Shen Ke smiled at Fu Ying. “Fu Ying, long time no see. This is my youngest daughter, Shen Jia. She just returned from a business course overseas and is a model.”
“Hello.”
Shen Jia reached out to shake Fu Ying’s hand, but Fu Ying didn’t respond. He only looked into Shen Ke’s eyes and said, “Uncle Shen, if I remember correctly, you said that you wanted to see me because you wanted to discuss a big project with me.”
Shen Ke looked a little embarrassed. He requested to see Fu Ying today to discuss the project, but on the other hand, he wanted to promote his precious daughter.
“Yes, yes, yes. I do want to talk about the project.” Shen Ke said and turned around. “But Jiajia just returned to the country. When she heard that I was going to see you, she wanted to come.”
“Don’t you remember Jiajia? You guys used to play together when you were young. At that time, I even joked with your father that we were going to get you guys engaged.”
When Shen Jia heard this, she echoed, “That’s right. Fu Ying, you’re really forgetful. We used to have such a good relationship, but now, you don’t even want to shake my hand.”
Fu Ying frowned. “I really don’t remember that much. Moreover, it was when I was young. If I remembered everything, my head really wouldn’t be able to hold so many things.”
Fu Ying’s cold attitude made the Shen father and daughter feel a little awkward. Shen Ke hurriedly called the waiter over to save himself and his daughter from the embarassment.
“Fu Ying, order the dishes first. We can take our time discussing the project.” Shen Ke handed the menu to Fu Ying. “Besides, I didn’t bring Jiajia here today for the purpose you think. I plan to let her work at the Shen Corporation so that she can take over my job.”
Fu Ying raised his eyebrows. “I remember you wanted to give your position to Shen Zhen in the beginning?”
Shen Zhen was Shen Ke’s eldest son. Previously, there were rumors that Shen Zhen wanted his son to inherit his business.
Moreover, Shen Feng was also a member of the Shen family, so many people would compare Shen Feng to Shen Zhen.
At the mention of Shen Zhen, Shen Ke looked troubled. “Shen Zhen is somewhat capable, but compared to his sister, he’s still a little lacking.”
“Are you referring to his private life scandals?” Fu Ying was in the industry, so he had naturally heard about the gossip.
When he heard Fu Ying’s words, Shen Ke’s expression darkened. “You’ve heard too?”
“That’s right. Don’t many people know?” Fu Ying smiled. “Womanizing, getting women to have abortions, cheating… I have to say that Shen Zhen really knows how to enjoy himself. Uncle Shen, you have to discipline him properly.”
Shen Ke’s expression darkened as he lamented, “It’s all my fault for not disciplining him properly in the past. Now, I might as well nurture Jiajia as my successor. Therefore, I brought her here to let her go deeper into the business.”
Fu Ying didn’t respond. After ordering two dishes, he picked up the red wine glass and took a sip.
“Uncle Shen, our families have a good relationship and you’re good friends with my father. There’s something I want to ask you for help with,” Fu Ying said when he saw that the time was right.
“If you need my help, just tell me.”
“I hope the Shen family won’t help Qu Xue and Qu Qin deal with the Qu family anymore.” Fu Ying went straight to the point.
Shen Ke’s hand that was holding the red wine glass froze and he said slowly, “I know. Your ex-wife is now a member of the Qu family. But Fu Ying, everyone in the business world says that business is business. It’s not like you don’t know our business feud with the Qu family.”
“If you had a business feud with the Qu family, would you give up your business interests for your ex-wife?”
Faced with this question, Fu Ying replied without hesitation, “Of course.”
“Mo Rao is everything to me, so Uncle Shen, don’t try to matchmake me with your daughter.” As he spoke, Fu Ying smiled and glanced at Shen Jia, whose face was pale.
“Besides, if you’re really unwilling, then Shen Zhen’s matter…”
“Fu Ying, are you threatening me?!” Shen Ke revealed a sullen expression as he glared at Fu Ying. “Have you forgotten my relationship with your father?”
Fu Ying was unafraid. He said, “You and my father’s relationship is your business. Our relationship our business.”
