Chapter 118

Shen Xun's phone was out of power.

He took the charging cable and plugged it in.

Qiao Chuan thought it was good that the phone was out of power; let him go accept the storm from Chairman Fu first, and the storm about the Madam's identity could come later.

Appearing at the same time, he was afraid President Shen wouldn't be able to bear it.

"President Shen, Chairman Fu is very angry because you caused the project to lose the bid due to personal reasons. A large amount of funds and multiple relationships were also used to suppress public opinion."

Shen Xun's eyes rolled: "Go to the company first and get the project plan regarding Old Shen's patent."

"Yes." Qiao Chuan drove to Star Universe Technology first, went upstairs to get the plan, and drove straight to the Fu Family.

The car drove into the Fu Family villa.

It was mealtime, and the Fu family was eating. The butler came to report: "President Shen and Assistant Qiao have arrived."

Fu Youlin and his sister Fu Youqing looked up at the same time.

A ray of light flashed in Fu Youqing's eyes.

Chairman Fu continued to eat: "Let them wait in the conference hall."

"Yes." The butler retreated.

Fu Youqing wanted to say something but stopped, and was stopped by a look from her father.

"Keep your thoughts to yourself. I told you, Shen Xun has been married for a long time, and even if he wasn't married, he has someone in his heart. Don't go chasing after him."

Fu Youqing withdrew her gaze: "We can't let people wait on an empty stomach."

"He brought such a big loss to Star Universe Technology; what's wrong with being hungry for a meal." Chairman Fu looked serious.

Fu Youlin served his father food: "Dad, eat this, this is delicious."

"Sister, you eat more too."

It was considered to have passed over the brief unpleasantness between father and daughter.

Chairman Fu softened his tone: "Eat first. Put aside your thoughts about Shen Xun. I know you don't like him that much. It's better to put your thoughts on Ke Zhongyu."

Fu Youqing said: "With the Ke family's strength, there is no need to rely on marriage. I can't do it on my own. Ke Zhongyu is not a gentleman at all; he doesn't even want a female mosquito to get close to him."

Chairman Fu: "That's because he is self-disciplined."

Fu Youlin nodded: "Sister, if you get such a man, he will only be devoted to you. You won't have to be busy dealing with your husband's mistresses and lovers every day like others."

How could Fu Youqing not know.

It wasn't that she hadn't tried.

At the charity gala back then, she summoned the courage to invite Ke Zhongyu to dance.

In full view of everyone, Ke Zhongyu didn't even pretend and said directly that he wasn't interested.

It was a double entendre; he wasn't interested in dancing, and he wasn't interested in her either.

It simply made her feel ashamed.

She wanted to try again, bringing up the Ke family elders, saying it was the intention of Mr. Ke and Ms. Nian.

Ke Zhongyu didn't refuse directly again, but changed his wording.

"My leg is broken."

"..." She had never been so speechless in her life.

The person was standing there perfectly fine, and when he turned to leave, his steps were more agile and dashing than anyone else's, yet he said his leg was broken.

How was that any different from farting in the street to insult her?

Fu Youqing got angry just thinking about it.

Shen Xun was gentle, polite, and young and promising. If she hadn't known from her father that he was married, she would definitely have chased after Shen Xun.

"Youlin, stop worrying about me. Think about yourself, grasp both career and love. You're almost twenty-four, get engaged when you should." Fu Youqing attracted the firepower to her younger brother.

Fu Youlin's brows curved, and he smiled brightly: "I have someone I like."

Father and sister looked at him at the same time.

"I asked you yesterday, and you said no. You have one so quickly."

"Just got one." Fu Youlin thought of Jiang Lai, whom he saw on the side of the road, with a cold temperament and beautiful appearance. He thought she was the eldest daughter of some group, but he didn't expect her to be a national scientific researcher.

Fu Youqing understood immediately: "Love at first sight."

Fu Youlin's ears turned red suddenly.

Fu Youqing teased: "Really innocent."

The family spent the meal laughing and talking, and it was half an hour later when they finished eating.

Chairman Fu deliberately let Shen Xun and Qiao Chuan wait a while longer.

In the conference hall.

Shen Xun and Qiao Chuan sat, and the tea in front of them had been refilled several times.

Shen Xun knew that Chairman Fu was deliberately leaving him out in the cold, and of course, he could keep his composure; if he couldn't, he wouldn't be sitting in the position of President of Star Universe Technology.

Qiao Chuan caught a glimpse of Chairman Fu and Young Master Fu and immediately stood up and said: "President Shen, Chairman Fu is here."

Shen Xun also stood up.

"Chairman Fu, Young Master Fu."

"Hmm." Chairman Fu nodded slightly, without his usual smile, showing that he was still angry.

Shen Xun immediately admitted his mistake: "I caused the company to lose the bid due to personal reasons and brought reputational damage to the company. I am deeply sorry for this. Tomorrow, I will personally go to the headquarters to apologize to all the shareholders."

"Losing the bid is a foregone conclusion. This is my remedy, and I ask Chairman Fu to take a look."

Qiao Chuan handed the plan to Shen Xun, and Shen Xun presented the plan with both hands.

Chairman Fu signaled his son to take it.

Shen Xun: "Although this scientific research patent in Old Shen's hands cannot compare to the national Self-developed Chip Project, it is a patent that many companies are squeezing their heads to buy. I have talked to Old Shen, and he does not agree to sell the patent, but we can consider cooperation. If Star Universe can reach a cooperation with Old Shen and introduce this patented technology, we can also obtain high profits while improving Star Universe's industry strength and popularity."

Fu Youlin handed the plan to his father, and suddenly understood why his father valued Shen Xun and intended to promote Shen Xun into the Fu Family.

Facing sudden changes, he responded calmly and could immediately come up with a backup plan.

This was not something that could be done on the spur of the moment.

Chairman Fu looked at the plan carefully and then looked at Shen Xun; his eyes were not as cold as before.

"The shareholders do need an explanation."

"Yes." Shen Xun nodded; it seemed that the Chairman was quite satisfied with his backup plan.

"Bidding is difficult to be 100% sure of, but it is your fault that you affected the company because of your private life." Chairman Fu still had to reprimand him.

Shen Xun continued to nod: "It is my fault, I failed the Chairman's trust and the shareholders' trust."

"If you want to live up to our trust and continue to sit in this position, Old Shen's patent must be won." Chairman Fu said earnestly, "Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to the shareholders, and it will be very difficult for me to protect you."

"I understand, thank you, Chairman Fu." Shen Xun breathed a sigh of relief in secret.

Chairman Fu handed the plan back to him and asked: "How much confidence do you have in Old Shen? His temper is very strange."

"At the last cocktail party, Old Shen and I had a pleasant conversation." Shen Xun didn't dare to boast that he was 100% sure, "I will do my best to win it. If I can't win it, I will be at the disposal of Chairman Fu and the shareholders."

Chairman Fu smiled suddenly: "I valued the boldness in you back then. If this matter doesn't work out, be prepared for a demotion. If it works out, the celebration banquet will be held as scheduled, and I will give you another share of Star Universe Technology."

Slap them and then give them a candy—a common tactic used by those in power.

Shen Xun knew that he had barely passed this hurdle with Chairman Fu.

"Go back. Your father went to Star Universe to inquire about your situation today, and I didn't let the people below talk nonsense." Chairman Fu reminded him, "Shen Xun, you must know in your heart which is more important, career or women. Don't affect your reputation and future for the sake of love."

This was a warning to him: since he was married, behave yourself and don't get tripped up by such things.

"Thank you, Chairman Fu, for your guidance." Shen Xun left the Fu Family unscathed.

Back in the car, he gulped down half a bottle of cold water.

The phone's battery was also fully charged.

Shen Xun picked up his phone and clicked on today's news.

Next to the headline that the national Self-developed Chip Project and the Ke Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement at 3:00 PM was a bright red "Explosive" character.

Clicked in.

The photo of Ke Zhongyu and Jiang Lai shaking hands and facing the camera rushed into his eyes.
