Bigoted Mr. Fu Lets Me Do Whatever I Want

Chapter 1091: The Bed Can’t Be Sat On“Xiao Qi, help me think of a way to make Xiao Xue work in my company.”

As soon as the call connected, he heard Jiang Yu’s somewhat anxious voice. Fu Tingyan did not expect Jiang Yu not to have settled his issue with Ye Xue. It had already been more than a month!

“Do you know why Ye Xue isn’t willing to work in your company?” Fu Tingyan leaned against the pristine white wall, a certain languidness to his posture. Knowing his brother was safe, Fu Tingyan felt a great weight lift off his shoulders. The past month had run him through the wringer.

He did not tell anyone about Fu Tingyu’s disappearance, not even Jiang Yu.

“I don’t know. Wouldn’t I have resolved the issue by now if I knew?” Jiang Yu hissed agitatedly. From where he stood, he could see the bustling streets of Jiangcheng through a large pane of glass.

“I thought you said you solved the problem. Shouldn’t you know why Xiao Xue isn’t willing to continue working in your company?”

“I’ll ask her again.”

Jiang Yu was about to hang up the phone when Fu Tingyan hurriedly said, “Don’t be so direct!”

“If I’m not direct, there’s no way she’ll tell me why she won’t stay,” Jiang Yu protested.

Fu Tingyan thought for a while and said, “Aren’t you going back to the head office? Maybe you could introduce it to her and see if she’d like to go.”

“She knows it’s the head office! I doubt she would agree to go with me. There’s no point in asking…”

Fu Tingyan was so exasperated that he wanted to crawl through the phone and knock some sense into Jiang Yu’s thick skull. Was he truly so dense?

“Isn’t Xinyue a subsidiary of the Jiang family? Wouldn’t you still have plenty of chances to meet her if she went there?”

Jiang Yu reached an epiphany. “That’s right! Ye Xue is just confused. I can’t believe I overlooked something so important. Thank you, Xiao Qi.”

Jiang Yu hung up the phone with renewed resolve.

Fu Tingyan glanced at his phone and shook his head, helpless. Indeed, love turned even the smartest of individuals into fools.

No, Ye Xue had not agreed to be Jiang Yu’s girlfriend.

If she agreed, would not that make her IQ even lower than his?

He put away his phone and was about to rejoin the conversation with his older brother when he heard someone calling him. “Young Master Fu, I’m glad I found you. I’ve been looking everywhere for you!”

The person calling out to him sounded familiar. Fu Tingyan turned around and saw Xiao Xian hurrying toward him. What was Xiao Xian doing here? Shouldn’t he be tending to his courtyard as a steward should? Fu Tingyan could not mask his confusion as he addressed Xiao Xian, “Why are you looking for me?”

“Seventh Young Master, you received this via express delivery.” Xiao Xian had learnt that Fu Tingyan would be visiting Bright Garden, so he rushed over, even if announced.

Fu Tingyan’s gaze fell on the package in Xiao Xian’s hands. It was a small box. He did not know what was inside since he had not opened it.

He accepted it, struck by an intense curiosity. As he opened the package, he asked, “Do you know who sent it?”

“There was no signature, return address or phone number,” Xiao Xian replied dutifully.

Fu Tingyan frowned. Peeling away the outer layer revealed another box within. It was a dark shade of ebony highlighted with golden patterns. He rapped a knuckle against the wood and discovered how hard it was. A box like this was probably worth tens of thousands of yuan.

It made him even more curious about what was inside.

His slender fingers caressed the lid of the box. With a small application of force from his fingers, the box snapped open. Its contents stunned him.

Inside the box was a mini trophy with all the signatures of PEAK.

PEAK was a battle team he had always liked. If it weren’t for his stint of learning martial arts, he would have signed up with them long ago.

PEAK won the World Championship last year, creating a sensation when they attributed the team’s winning to their loyal fans.

At the end of last year’s competition, the team announced their participation in another upcoming tournament at the start of the new year. Fu Tingyan had wanted to go and support his favourite team but could not do so with Fu Tingyu’s disappearance. It was a wasted opportunity he still felt bitter over.

Who could have sent him this priceless trophy?

He was beside himself with joy but also confused about receiving this handsome gift.
