I Want A Lifetime With You

The higher-ups of the company all gathered at the conference room to attend the daily morning meeting. Every single one of them was sitting stiffly and nervously with their eyes trained on Fu Zhengyun and Shen Qianan.

Having ants in their pants, they found it easier to stand than to remain seated. They were extremely restless; it was mainly due to the presence of the chairman of the company. Fu Zhengyun had not been involved in the internal affairs of the company for years. Although some of his trusted aides from back then were still in employment, the chairman was no longer a force to be reckoned with after being idle for such a long time.

In fact, his absence had always been a calming factor because it was a sign that everything was going well for the company. Now that the man had suddenly made an appearance, everyone couldn’t help but associate it with the recent calamity that had befallen the magnificent Li Group. Within a month’s time, the Li clan’s company that had lasted for a century ended up going bust because of Li Heng.

No one understood why Li Heng would decide to bring the family business to ruination when he was only one step away from becoming the patriarch of his family.

The Fu clan, like the Li clan, was a prestigious family that had been enjoying its fame for more than a century. That made it hard for people not to wonder whether the same thing would happen to them too.

At the same time, everyone was dying to know who the woman dressed in full white and standing behind Fu Zhengyun was. Not only did she look similar to Shi Nuan, but she also exuded a distinguished aura that led them to think that she came from a powerful family.

Just as the higher-ups were busy gossiping among themselves, the door of the conference room suddenly opened from the outside. Mai Qi and Zhou Zheng shifted themselves to the two sides of the door, making way for the man who had just arrived. It was Fu Chengyan. One of his hands was holding his suit jacket draped over his back, while the other was cozily tucked in his trouser pocket. Despite looking laid-back and relaxed, no one could gauge what was on his mind from the look of his brooding eyes.

He gave those higher-ups, who were sitting with their backs ramrod straight, a fleeting glance before moving his eyes to his grandfather. Throughout the entire process, he did not even spare a glance at Shen Qianan.

As for Shen Qianan, she had been fixing her gaze on him from the very moment Fu Chengyan walked through the door. All she could think about was how the man had failed to move on from her over the past three years. He actually missed her so much that he even married a girl who looked the same as her to be her replacement.

Fu Chengyan had no clue what she had been thinking about. Nonchalantly, he averted his eyes away before tossing his suit jacket on the chair where he sat down.

Unlike the domineering and businesslike posture he usually adopted, he sat by resting one hand on the table and another on the knee of his lifted leg. With a smirk, he announced, “Let’s begin. Why’re you guys looking so uptight? The chairman is only here to feel the hustle and bustle of working life after staying at home for too long a time!” Then, he looked at Zhou Zheng and shouted an instruction at him, “Mr. Zhou, please show any unauthorized personnel in this room to the door.”

Although he didn’t refer to Shen Qianan directly, what he said was clear enough for everyone to infer it that way. At least, it was very obvious to all the higher-ups of the company, who were made up of elitists. Fu Zhengyun was not an unauthorized personnel as he was at the top of the company hierarchy. Therefore, the only possible person Fu Chengyan could be referring to was Shen Qianan, who had an unknown identity and background.

However, Shen Qianan was there together with Fu Zhengyun. Although everyone was skeptical about her presence, none of them had the guts to drive her out.

All of them immediately looked in the direction of Shen Qianan when Fu Chengyan gave such an instruction to Mr. Zhou.

With her face flushed with embarrassment, Shen Qianan stared at Fu Chengyan with her eyes brimming with imploration. In what sounded like an aggrieved tone, she ventured, “Yan, I…”

Fu Chengyan furrowed his brows in response to her voice. Behaving as though he just noticed her presence, he met her eyes and wondered, “Ms. Shen, do you see yourself as a close friend of mine?”

“I…”

“Since you aren’t an employee, am I wrong to ask you to leave?”

Fu Chengyan’s voice sounded so icy that it made it difficult for anyone to defy his order. Shen Qianan’s face turned as pale as a sheet in response to his question. She threw a miserable stare at Fu Zhengyun and pleaded, “Grandpa!”
