“Is this about you?” Fang Yuan was taken aback when Fang Liguo called to inquire about the matter, and she considered ending the call.
“Yuanyuan, be honest with Dad. Could it be that Wu Di has developed an interest in you and is currently pursuing you?” Fang Liguo voiced his speculation, believing it to be the most plausible explanation after pondering it for a while.
Fang Yuan.”.. ”
Fang Liguo persisted, “Are you perhaps encouraging him to interfere with our company?”
Fang Yuan continued her silence.
Seeing Fang Yuan’s lack of response, Fang Liguo assumed he had hit the mark. “Ascending to great heights and becoming successful is admirable, but it’s also crucial to have the backing of your own family, isn’t it?”
Fang Yuan’s gaze turned icy. “What are you implying?”
Fang Liguo spoke confidently, “Your birth parents come from a rural background. Your mere identity is embarrassing, let alone a dowry! But I’m different, I can support you. Consider this, I am the wealthiest man in Haicheng City. I can even provide you with a dowry. Imagine the grandeur of your wedding!”
Fang Yuan sighed. “What are you getting at?”
Seeing an opportunity, Fang Liguo pleaded, “Yuanyuan, no matter what, I’ve raised you for 18 years. Are you really going to abandon me now? The company is in jeopardy!”
Fang Yuan retorted, “How is it my concern? I don’t understand how you have the audacity to ask me this. It was Grandma who raised me for those 18 years. Have you ever received a single penny during that time? Have you spent even a single day with me?” In fact, not only had they failed to spend time with her, they hadn’t even visited once. Every winter and summer break, Fang Yuan had learned from Grandpa Sun and the other seniors, while her so-called parents remained oblivious throughout the years. It was clear how often they had returned home!
“I was occupied with work and had no other choice,” Fang Liguo argued.
Fang Yuan promptly ended the call, finding it futile to continue the conversation.
“So, did that stubborn girl agree?” Song Ling asked when she noticed Fang Liguo hanging up dejectedly. She had a hunch, “She rejected, didn’t she?”
“I’ve been telling you for a long time to treat her well and not let things get too ugly, but you didn’t listen. Now see what’s happened!” Fang Liguo sighed, unsure of what to do.
Song Ling was furious. “There must be other solutions. That girl isn’t the only option. What about Jiayi? Didn’t the Lu Family arrange the VIP ward? Tomorrow evening, let’s have dinner with the Lu Family and explain our current situation. Aside from Fangyuan Capital, aren’t the other two groups that terminated their contracts closely connected to the Lu Family? Let’s ask the Lu Family to help us mend those relationships…”
“That might be our only option,” Fang Liguo’s mood improved as he thought of the Lu Clan’s support. “Someone, call Jiayi down. I need to talk to her.”
At that moment, Fang Jiayi excitedly rushed down the stairs. “Dad, Mom, my piano performance earned me second place in the entire country!”
“What?” Fang Liguo and Song Ling were taken aback. They hadn’t expected their daughter to excel in such a way. After all, she had been raised by a cleaning lady since childhood. The fact that she could play the piano and even win an award was surprising.
Fang Jiayi quickly showed them her phone. “Dad, Mom, look, here are the rankings. Cheng Yuqi, the daughter of the Cheng Family, took first place, and I secured second place!”
“You’re just behind the daughter of Jing City’s wealthiest man!” Song Ling felt an immense sense of pride. “This could be a great opportunity to establish connections…”
Fang Liguo also realized the potential. “Jiayi, can you invite the entire Lu Family to dinner to celebrate your second-place achievement?”
“Even Uncle and Auntie?” Fang Jiayi seemed surprised.
It was only then that Fang Liguo disclosed the company’s current predicament.
However, Fang Jiayi surprised them by confidently stating, “Dad, Mom, leave this to me!”
Fang Liguo smiled. “What a wonderful child!”
Upon Fang Yuan’s return home, she was surprised to find a gathering of people in the living room, all singing praises for Cheng Yuqi.
“Miss Yuqi, your achievement in winning first place in the national piano competition is truly remarkable!”
“It’s an absolute delight to have the opportunity to assist the Cheng Family, especially when we get to hear such exquisite music from you while working.” “Indeed, Lady Yuqi’s zither music is simply enchanting!”
Noticing Fang Yuan’s arrival, Qiao Xinhui approached her eagerly. “Darling Yuanyuan, you’re back from work. Are you feeling tired after your first day on the job? 1 hope the company didn’t give you a hard time.”
“Miss Fang Yuan has returned?”
“People at the company are saying that the new leader is exceptionally talented and highly capable! Little do they know they’re talking about my beloved daughter, hahaha!”
Cheng Yuqi, unwilling to be overshadowed by the attention on Fang Yuan, decided to join the gathering..
