Ms. Bigshot Is Pampered by All novel Chapter 371

Chapter 371: Chapter 370 The Empty Reputation is Far Less Important than Actual Results

No sooner had Chi Gui gotten out of the car than Old Sir Fu and Granny Fu eagerly brought her into the small dining room.

Just a step behind and completely ignored was Fu Si: ...

As Qin Cheng turned off the car, he was about to get out from the driver’s seat when he witnessed the scene. He quietly shrank back, pretending to look down at his phone to deal with matters, as if he hadn’t seen anything.

Fu Si cast a fleeting glance at Qin Cheng, who was feigning blindness, and then stepped towards the house.

Although Old Sir Fu had invited Yao Zhenqing and Yuan Rou for the meal, all the dishes were Chi Gui’s favorites.

Even though Chi Gui was not much of a talker, she was very polite, answering any question posed to her, and with Fu Si’s intermediary efforts, the atmosphere at the dining table remained very cheerful.

It wasn’t until the meal was nearing its end that the butler came in and whispered something into Old Sir Fu’s ear, causing his expression to visibly darken.

With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the butler.

Afterward, although he continued to eat and chat with Chi Gui as if nothing was amiss, he was clearly much more distracted.

After dining, Granny Fu took Chi Gui upstairs to chat, while Old Sir Fu called Fu Si into his study.

Once in the study, Old Sir Fu had no reservations about speaking his mind. He sighed and said in a serious tone, "The Yao Family had lunch at the Jin Family’s today because of Shi Liyun."

That one sentence made it clear to Fu Si the advantages and disadvantages at play.

If Yao Zhenqing were to forge a good relationship with the Jin Family, then Ruo Laiya, the international second-tier jewelry brand that works with the Fu Family every year, would be handed over to the Jin Family.

While Ruo Laiya may not rank high internationally, it is the second bestselling jewelry brand in Huaxia. If the Fu Family only lost this cooperation, it would be bearable. However, if it fell into the Jin Family’s hands, it would be a significant blow to the Fu Family’s industry.

What’s more crucial is that the eldest daughter of the Jin Family is a jewelry designer. If she, with Yao Family’s help, makes a big name for herself at the Jade Appreciation Conference, it would be a serious hit to the Fu Family, which has no designers of its own.

Fu Si sat on the sofa in the study, his slender middle finger lightly pushing his glasses, his phoenix eyes slightly upturned as if he smiled, "Is the Yao Family preparing to cozy up to the Jin Family and abandon the Fu Family? Why would he think the Jin Family has a better future than the Fu Family?"
