Chapter 296: The Angrier You Get, the More You Must Sink

~4 min read 634 words

They were about to say something else, but Fu Sijue hung up the phone a step ahead of them, and a busy tone sounded in the receiver.

With Fu Sijue's promise, Fu Zhuo lifted his chin and said impatiently to the group.

"A Jue's health is poor; if any of you insist on disturbing him, it will only make his return later and later."

And with today's precedent, from now on no one will question the decisions made by Fu Zhuo.

Because Fu Sijue took responsibility for everything.

The meeting ended without a hitch, but the executives' moods were far from simple.

"What kind of medicine is President Fu really selling in that gourd? He actually felt so confident that he handed such a large company over to outsiders."

The family only ever spoke pleasant words; Fu Zhuo has been out adventuring these years and has had no contact with the family at all.

What kind of familial affection could Fu Sijue possibly have with him?

Fu Sijue is like a defeated tiger; embarrassed to return, he keeps hiding outside.

"Who says not? The once fine company got messed up like this; I think the few of us should consider which company to jump to next."

Ji Luo suddenly appeared behind them and said, "If you have this idle time, better think about how to handle the projects under your command. No matter who made the decision, as long as it makes the Fu Clan better, it's fine."

In truth, Ji Luo felt very uneasy; he didn't know whether Shen Shu had passed those words on to Fu Sijue.

He also didn't know whether Fu Sijue would actually believe him because of this.

On top of that, with Fu Zhuo now causing trouble in the company, Ji Luo felt even more distressed.

If it weren't for his help, Ji Luo wouldn't have succeeded so early.

Thinking that way, Ji Luo successfully blamed all the mistakes on himself, even discarding his own dignity, disguising himself, and went to Shen Shu's home to seek answers.

He knew deeply that he was wrong; Fu Zhuo was far from the reliable person he had imagined.

Compared with the principled Fu Sijue, Fu Zhuo is like a street thug who cares nothing for his image.

He acts solely to achieve his goals.

A person like that has no bottom line and would never spare his family just because Ji Luo said a word.

They are just waiting for the day he loses any usefulness, then casually discard him.

When he thought of all the wrongs he had done and now having to brazenly ask Fu Sijue for forgiveness, just the thought made Ji Luo feel his composure slipping.

Nevertheless, he headed to the Vacation Villa without hesitation.

Zhongyi Shu thought he was just coming to discuss matters with Fu Sijue, so he led him straight inside.

Fu Sijue was not surprised at all.

The words Shen Shu brought last time already indicated that Ji Luo's heart had begun to waver.

So coming to see him was inevitable.

Sitting uncomfortably opposite Fu Sijue, Ji Luo had too many words bottled up, yet didn't know where to start, stammering, and the grown man even flushed.

"Mr. Ji, have a glass of water first and relax; whatever you have to say, just tell A Jue directly. As long as it's not too difficult to handle, we'll do our best to help you."

Lu Xiwán said this very openly, but in fact she mainly wanted to gauge Ji Luo's tone.

Ji Luo, being somewhat of a shrewd person himself, immediately caught the subtext in Lu Xiwán's words.

"Madam need not test me with that; Fu Zhuo is now causing trouble in the company, and Director Xie has already been driven out by him."
