the green smoke dissipated, and everything was clear again.

the old man wrote a prescription and handed it to fu chen, telling him how to take in song fengwan’s nutrients since she was a few months pregnant.

” you’ve been running through the night. i’ve asked someone to clean up the room. you can rest first. ” fu chen was obviously planning to leave him at home.

the old man pinched the space between his eyebrows but did not refuse. ” i’m indeed tired. these young people were like kidnappers. they rushed to my house in the middle of the night, grabbed me, and ran away. they were like robbers. i really didn’t sleep well … ”

after the old man went upstairs to rest, only fu chen and jing hanchuan were in the study.

no one spoke. it was as if they could understand each other’s thoughts with just a look.

“you want to get involved in this?” fu chen picked up the buddha beads on the side and stroked one of them with his fingertips, his expression unreadable.

“you think i can avoid it?” jing hanchuan scoffed.

fu chen narrowed his eyes, as if he was seriously considering something …

**

soon, the news of elder xu’s critical condition spread throughout the capital, and not many people outside the circle knew about the xu family.

on the media’s side, even if they knew who the critically ill person was, they did not dare to report it casually. all the news on the financial section was the same:

[ famous entrepreneur xu ruhai to return to beijing to invest. ]

[ xu ruhai returns to his hometown in glory. he will be joining beijing’s business circle. ]

[ with the injection of new blood, what kind of changes will happen to the capital’s business circle? ]

……

– inside the duan corporation-

duan linbai threw the tablet directly on the table, and a muffled sound made little jiang’s heart tremble.

fu chen had just finished a meeting with him. someone had been browsing the news on his phone during the meeting. he probably had been holding it in for a long time. he looked at xiaojiang and motioned for him to leave first.

it was the first time little jiang had seen his little boss so angry. after being pardoned, he hurriedly left the office and closed the door.

he swallowed his saliva with lingering fear. it was simply terrifying.

a crack appeared on the tablet.

“this xu ruhai is too high-profile,”

“do you really think it’s that easy to survive in the capital city? the branch company isn’t even completed yet, so the publicity is quite good.”

“he even poached an old customer of mine.”

fu chen narrowed his eyes. ” he’s always been a strong man, and with the xu family’s power, it won’t be a matter of time before he comes back and gains a foothold. ”

“i can understand that he came back to establish his power and achieve results.” duan linbai looked at fu chen. ” but what does he mean by poaching my clients? ”

“is he planning to step on our house?”

” do you want to ride alongside our family, or are you planning to cross our family and take the first place in the capital circle? ”

duan linbai was a straightforward person, so how could he sit still after being poached? he really wanted to rush over and question the xu family what they were trying to do!

” he wants to establish his power … ” fu chen lowered his head and flipped through the documents in his hand, his expression extremely indifferent. ” the duan family is the best target. ”

” you’ve monopolized so many resources in beijing. who doesn’t know that your family is at the top of the financial circle? who else can i step on if not you? ”

“this is the fastest way to attract attention.”

duan linbai sneered, ” you want to climb to a high position as soon as you come back. you’re really not afraid of falling to your death! ”

“what did your father say about this?” fu chen tilted his head and looked at him.

at this time, the news had spread in the circle that xu ruhai had poached the duan family’s resources on his first order after returning to the capital.

the duan family was considered a local tyrant here. any company that wanted to develop would have to pay a visit. no one dared to provoke them in public. it was the first time they had encountered such a fierce style.

“my dad said it’s up to him.” duan linbai snorted coldly, ” if there’s a first time, there’ll be a second time. i’ll endure it this time, but who knows what he’ll do next time! ”

” call hanchuan. he said he can’t do anything about it. he’s his uncle, after all. ”

“i’m really going to explode now!”

duan linbai wanted to fight back, but this man had a relationship with jing hanchuan. if he didn’t say anything, he would be embarrassing jing hanchuan if he fell out with xu ruhai. he was afraid that he would not be able to face xu yuanfei in the future.

if one thought too much, one would have to avoid many things and be afraid of everything.

just as he was about to explode, xiaojiang knocked on the door, ” little boss. ”

“come in!” duan linbai fell back into his chair in anger. he picked up a thermos cup on the side and took a big gulp of wolfberry water.

fu chen glanced at his thermos. drinking goji berries at night was good for health.

xiaojiang handed him an envelope.

“what is it?”

“an invitation from the xu family,” xiaojiang said, pursing his lips.

“what invitation?”

“an invitation to the company’s opening party.” xiaojiang said timidly.

he received a notice from the front desk that a department manager of the xu group had sent an invitation. he was also dumbfounded. his little boss was angry because of his family’s matter, and he still dared to come.

poaching clients and even inviting them to a dinner party, it was a little provocative.

the xu family’s eldest master was in fact being high-profile.

“f * ck!” duan linbai glanced at fu chen. ” fu san, did you see that? you’re f * cking provoking me. do you really think i don’t dare to go? you poached my people and still invited me over? ”

fu chen chuckled. the invitation had probably been sent to his company or home.

“are you going?” fu chen sized him up.

“go, why not!” duan linbai coldly snorted.

” the business world is like a battlefield. if someone is poached away, you can only say that you have not done enough in certain aspects. ”

” if i can’t invite him, people will say that i’m narrow-minded and unforgiving. i guess all kinds of news will immediately fly around. they might say that i’m bullying him and deliberately running him down. ”

if it was his own matter, duan linbai could do whatever he wanted. however, this involved the company and the interests of his employees, so he could not be willful.

“i also want to see what he wants to do.”

duan linbai rarely suffered losses in this aspect, so he naturally couldn’t take this lying down.

“you don’t say, after so many years, he’s the first person who dared to step on our family to climb up!” duan linbai coldly snorted, obviously quite angry.

the business circle was only so big, so the news must have spread long ago. xu ruhai’s ambition and strength were evident for daring to step on the duan family.

fu chen only smiled and didn’t say anything.

yunjin capital

when fu chen returned, little yan xiansen was playing with fu xinhan in the yard. after all, he was a child and was full of energy.

with someone to play with the dog, fu xinhan’s mood was obviously much better.

in song fengwan’s words, little yan xiansen had cured the dog’s autism.

“brother-in-law.” little yan dusted off the dust on his hands and hugged fu chen’s thigh.

“where’s your sister?”

” he just finished school. he went upstairs. a few people in black came just now. ”

“what?” fu chen ruffled his short hair and held him in his arms. ” who is it? ”

“i don’t know,” little yan fiddled with the mud under his fingernails and rubbed it with great pleasure.

when fu chen carried him into the house, he saw the invitation letters on the coffee table. there were two.

“the xu clan sent one for you and one for me,” yan wangchuan’s expression was indifferent as usual. ” i don’t intend to go. ”

the yan clan’s power was not in the capital, and they had no business dealings here. they did not need to maintain any interpersonal relationships, so it did not matter whether they went or not.

fu chen responded and lowered his head to tease little yan.

xu ruhai’s company seemed to have taken advantage of the strong cold wind and quickly tore a hole in the capital’s business circle. it took a few big orders in succession and quickly gained a firm foothold.

in just a short month, he was the most popular.

the company’s opening dinner also began. people joined in the fun, tried to make connections, or tried to find out the truth. although they had different purposes, it became a grand event for the business circle.

duan linbai had specially dressed up and even hired a group of bodyguards, causing his father to look at him from time to time.

this brat couldn’t be intentionally going there to cause a scene, right?
