Fu Yuan'er and her mother walked into the appointed box, but saw that there was only one person in the box. This person turned out to be... Ji Senzhuo.
Fu Yuan'er couldn't help but froze in her tracks. She looked at her mother, but her mother was also confused.
Fu's mother told Fu Yuan'er with her lips that she swore to God that the person who asked her to come was really Ji's mother.
Ji Senzhuo was sitting in a wheelchair. He was originally looking out the window. When he heard the noise, he turned the wheelchair around and smiled at them, "Aunt, Yuan'er, you are here."
"Ji Senzhuo, why did you run out of the hospital?" Fu Yuan'er asked in surprise.
"I lay there for several days, and my bones were almost falling apart. I came out to breathe different air." Ji Senzhuo replied to her, "The doctor asked me to rest, but he didn't tell me to lie on the bed and not move."
Fu Yuan'er curled her lips helplessly, letting him finish his words, and she had nothing else to say.
"Where's your mother?" Fu's mother asked.
"You are here." Ji's mother walked in with her voice, "I went to the kitchen and took a look at the black truffles to make sure they were real."
One of the signatures of this shop is the black truffle, which is known as the gold among ingredients.
"They won't smash their own signs," Fu's mother said.
Ji's mother sneered, "Hey," she said, "Nowadays, there are so many people selling sheep's meat to others. It's your idea that's right. It's like some men who marry one wife but really care about another.
But he conceals it so well that you can’t tell it at all.”
Fu Yuan'er always felt that there was something in Ji's mother's words.
Fu's mother glanced at Ji's mother and said, "What's wrong? Has any relative in your family met such a man?"
"Yes," Ji's mother sighed, "the little girl is ignorant and was deceived... Let's not talk about this. I have already ordered the dishes. If you don't like it, please order another one."
"We are not picky about food." Fu's mother smiled.
"Yuan'er, have you been busy in the newspaper office recently?" Ji Senzhuo changed the subject.
Fu Yuan'er shook her head and nodded again, "I should have been very busy, but I couldn't advance on several topics."
"Why?" Ji's mother asked.
Fu Yuan'er shrugged helplessly: "In the final analysis, it is still a question of clues. Several topics have reached key points. Without clues, the matter cannot be dug deeper, and there will be no news value."
Therefore, she has recently been writing articles about mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, mistress, etc. However, she does not like ordinary family conflicts, so the social section she is responsible for has always been tepid.
She has not been able to report this kind of entanglement to her superiors. The superiors will only say, Fu Ji, you can do it according to your own preferences. Everything is as long as you are happy.
He looked like he was completely trying to suck up to Cheng Zitong, which was off-putting.
"Yuan'er, Auntie knows your troubles, so Auntie has something very important to tell you today." Ji's mother said in a brisk tone.
Fu Yuan'er murmured a little in her heart, but she could only nod, "Auntie, please tell me."
"Do you know there is a company called Zutianxia?" Ji's mother asked.
Of course she knows, not just her, everyone in the industry has heard of its name.
You see, the name "Zu Tian Xia" should mean traveling all over the world.
On the surface, this company is called "Zu Tianxia" information consulting company, but behind the scenes, what it does is sell information to people.
The speed and accuracy of its messages were once breathtaking.
"I want to acquire this company and are negotiating. Are you interested in joining us?" Ji's mother asked.
Fu Yuan'er was slightly stunned. Her first reaction was that she thought about it so much that she could be a reporter.
No one would not want to.
What does it mean to own this company? It means that you will get the latest news several times faster than your peers.
But after her instinctive reaction, her rationality emerged.
If she and Ji's mother acquire the company together, she will definitely have trouble with Ji Senzhuo.
Will anyone make a fuss about this then?
"What's wrong, Yuan'er, do you have any concerns?" Ji's mother saw her hesitation.
Fu Yuan'er shook her head, "I was just thinking that I might not have the strength."
Mother Ji smiled and said, "Let me tell you the truth, what I value is the profit of this company, but in fact I know nothing about its operation and management. What I need is someone who is both trustworthy and knowledgeable."
There is no doubt that Fu Yuan'er is the best candidate.
"I don't need much money from you, you can technically invest in it," she continued.
This is indeed a great temptation for Fu Yuan'er.
Fu Yuan'er's beautiful eyes were shining brightly. She was really moved, but she still had concerns.
"Mom, give Yuan'er some time to think about it," Ji Sendhuo said gently from the side.
"Yuan'er will think it over carefully." Fu's mother also helped her speak.
Mother Ji nodded, "I will have the last negotiation with them in two days. Tell me your decision before then."
Just after she finished speaking, Ji's mother's phone rang, and she left the box to answer the phone.
Fu's mother also got up and went to the bathroom.
She and Ji Senzhuo were the only two people left in the box.
"Yuan'er, don't worry about me. You only need to consider whether this matter is good for you." Ji Senzhuo opened his heart and said to her, "Although I came back this time with the purpose of marrying you, but
I won't do anything to force you."
He smiled slightly: "You have devoted so much time to me, even if I wait for you for another year, two years... or even longer, so what."
Fu Yuan'er looked at him blankly for a while, then lowered her pretty face.
Her nose felt sore and she felt the urge to cry.
The youth and emotion she devoted turned out to be not in vain.
"Xiao Zhuo, please come out." At this time, Ji's mother pushed the box door open a gap and called Ji Sendhuo out, "I have a call that I need you to answer."
Fu Yuan'er quickly stood up, helped Ji Senzhuo push the wheelchair, and sent him out.
She sat down again, facing the dining table alone, tears still rolling down her face.
She couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, whether it was emotion and pity for herself, emotion for Ji Senzhuo, and maybe a little bit of resentment for Cheng Zitong.
For the sake of her love for Cheng Zitong, is it really right for her to put aside the long-awaited relationship?
Mom said she was shaking, and she was indeed shaking, and she was shaking badly.
She is no longer a teenage girl who can risk her own life for the three words "I like".
She is already a mature woman, and she unconsciously thinks about whether it is worth it or not.
"Are you so confused?" Mom's slightly teasing voice sounded as she came back from the bathroom.
Fu Yuan'er lowered her head to wipe away her tears and sighed softly, "I really don't know what to do so that I won't regret it."
"Let me tell you, one day you win the highest award in the journalism industry, and you will never regret the choice you made today."
Fu Yuan'er looked at her mother: "Mom, do you support my cooperation with my aunt?"
Fu's mother also sighed softly, stretched out her hand lovingly,
Smooth out the messy hair on the temples for my daughter.
As a daughter, she has had many ideas since she was a child, and she never actively seeks her mother's opinions.
This time, she was tortured so much by Cheng Zitong.
"Yuan'er, my mother feels that no matter how much a person likes another person, they will have their own considerations and selfishness, but the career you devote yourself to will never betray you."
"There is nothing wrong with liking someone, but if you place your future on others, you are bound to be let down."
Fu Yuan'er was a little surprised. She really didn't expect her mother to say such things.
"Mom, didn't you keep pushing me towards Cheng Zitong before?"
"Is there a contradiction between wanting you to have a happy marriage and wanting you to have a successful career?" Fu's mother raised her eyebrows, "But if there is a conflict between the two, I firmly support your choice of career."
"Mom, thank you." At the critical moment, only the people closest to you will stand firmly on your side.
But, "I want to think about it again."
"No one is forcing you, just think about it slowly."
After eating, the two mothers walked in front while holding Jia Chang, while Fu Yuan'er pushed Ji Senzhuo behind.
"Yuan'er, what do you think that is?" Ji Senzhuo suddenly looked towards the large fish tank at the entrance of the restaurant.
This large fish tank is as big as a whole wall, and it is divided into many small compartments, and the aquatic creatures in each small compartment are different.
What Ji Senzhuo showed Fu Yuan'er was a jellyfish glowing with blue fluorescence.
Fu Yuan'er pushed Ji Senzhuo to the water tank, and memories emerged in her mind little by little.
"Brother Zhuo, if you go to the beach to play, can you bring me a blue jellyfish back?"
"I won't go into the sea to catch jellyfish."
When did this conversation take place? It was probably when her eleventh birthday was approaching.
Later, Ji Senzhuo really didn't bring her the jellyfish because he didn't take her request to heart at all.
"Why did you suddenly think of this?" Fu Yuan'er asked, more than ten years have passed.
"Recently, I lie in bed every day, and the past events flash through my mind over and over again like a movie. Yuan'er, I think of a lot..."
His voice was trembling a little, as if he was apologizing for neglecting her. After a moment, his voice perked up, "Fortunately, we still have a lot of time, I can make it up to you."
