Fu Huai 'an answered the call and turned around. There was an unlit cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and water droplets kept dripping from the tip of his short black hair …
The glistening water droplets flowed down along the lines of his muscles … and into his V-line that was vaguely covered by the towel, giving off an inexplicable feeling.
Lin Nuan subconsciously covered her nose, afraid that she would fail to live up to her expectations and get a nosebleed in front of Fu Huai 'an again. Lin Nuan felt utterly embarrassed when she got a nosebleed in the gym at the Cloud Top Condominium! She would rather die than have that happen again …
Fu Huai 'an bit on the cigarette, but he couldn't hide the smile on his lips. He took a deep look at Lin Nuan and placed the phone by his ear.
"En …" He reached out to remove the cigarette from his mouth and responded to the other end of the phone.
"This is so funny. That Lu Qingmei originally wanted to plant people she could use in the Kaide Corporation, but she didn't expect to shoot herself in the foot this time!" Tang Zheng couldn't hide the joy in his voice.
Fu Huai 'an's gaze followed Lin Nuan's back view as she turned to return to the bathroom. He was clearly more interested in her than what Tang Zheng said over the phone. He asked distractedly, "What's the matter?"
"Lu Qingmei is really magnanimous. I heard … she said something to Old Master Fu, that when Fu Tianci takes over the Kaide Corporation in the future, he must have people he could use. Fu Tianci's two uncles are very reliable, so she got the families of Fu Tianci's two uncles, including their daughters-in-law, into the Kaide Corporation. She arranged for all of them to take important positions …"
Fu Huai 'an listened to Tang Zheng's gloating voice and walked to the French windows. His cigarette-wielding hand rested on the glass as he lowered his gaze and looked at the small boats and tourist boats passing by. Fu Huai' an narrowed his eyes as the water shimmered under the golden sunlight.
"It's probably because Lu Qingmei wanted to boost her reputation that she specially called for a press conference and announced a list of the top executives that she would be promoting this time!"
This seemed like Old Master Fu's style, making everything a done deal.
"Who knew that just now, the two sons of Fu Tianci's eldest uncle and second uncle were arrested for visiting prostitutes in a hotel!" Tang Zheng let out an unkind laugh. "When they were arrested, there were a lot of reporters. I heard that the two of them got into a room and were having fun with four girls. The two of them were tied to the bed and were playing some Queen's Game. The reporters couldn't be happier taking pictures! I've seen the photo, it's too painful for my eyes … "
Fu Huai 'an's large index finger, which was propped up against the French window, knocked against the glass as he listened quietly.
"There's also Fu Tianci's second uncle. He's really a beast in human clothing. He looks well-dressed, but he just so happened to be in the hotel where his son and cousins were having fun. The other party is actually underage, and he was caught red-handed by the media just like that. Now, Lu Qingmei's entire family is on fire! I wonder what the Kaide Corporation's stock price will be like when I wake up tomorrow morning … "
Three of the newly appointed senior executives of the Kaide Corporation had been caught visiting prostitutes, and one of them was a minor. This news … was going to be a fatal blow to the Kaide Corporation.
He wondered what Fu Qingquan's reaction would be when he learned of this news.
Fu Huai 'an was silent for a moment before he finally asked, "Has Fu Cheng returned to Haicheng?"
"He's already here. His family is staying at the Fu family mansion." Tang Zheng answered so quickly because he had investigated Fu Cheng. He thought about it and asked Fu Huai 'an, "You suspect that Fu Cheng was the one behind this?"
"Fu Cheng has always been filial to Old Madam Fu. In order to show his filial piety, he naturally has to make Old Madam Fu happy since he's back …"
As long as the Kaide Corporation replaced the senior executives who got into trouble in time, namely Lu Qingmei's second brother and her two nephews, it would be manageable.
It was just that Fu Huai 'an was overseas and refused to go back to take over the mess. It just so happened that Fu Cheng, who had been in charge of the Kaide Corporation for many years, had returned …
This Fu Cheng had always been by Old Madam Fu and Old Master Fu's side, but he wasn't related to them by blood. Once, when Old Master Fu and Old Madam Fu expressed their hope that Fu Huai 'an, who was related to them by blood, would inherit the Fu family, Fu Cheng left the country without a second word so that Old Master Fu and Old Madam Fu wouldn't make things difficult for them.
Such a person, at least, showed that he had no ambitions for the Kaide Corporation.
At the critical moment when the Kaide Corporation's shares had started to plummet, Fu Cheng had returned. Then, there was the matter of the higher-ups visiting prostitutes. In order to stabilize the situation, given Fu Qingquan's character, rather than putting Lu Qingmei or Fu Huai 'an in that position …
He felt more at ease with Fu Cheng in that position because he wasn't related by blood to him. Fu Cheng had been obedient in front of Fu Qingquan for many years, so he was easier to control! Most importantly … he had done a good job running the Kaide Corporation all those years ago. He was capable!
Hence, if Fu Qingquan wanted Fu Tianci to inherit the Kaide Corporation and find someone to stabilize the current situation, Fu Cheng would be the most suitable candidate.
Fu Huai 'an didn't answer Tang Zheng's question. He only said, "Fu Cheng has been in the Fus for so many years and has always thought that the Fus were his. The two elders of the Fus suddenly wanted to change the successor, and Fu Cheng agreed so readily. Does he really not have any complaints? Does he have no intentions for the Kaide Corporation at all? "
Fu Huai 'an spoke slowly, his voice calm.
On the other end of the line, Tang Zheng was silent, frowning as he pondered …
When the incident happened, Tang Zheng also felt that it was too strange. How could the Lu family be so indiscreet, getting caught together with a prostitute? The reporters and media seemed to have caught wind of it in advance and rushed over to watch the show.
Tang Zheng wouldn't believe that there wasn't something fishy going on here.
Before calling Fu Huai 'an, Tang Zheng had already sent someone to investigate, but there weren't any results yet.
"If it's him, there will always be traces …"
On the other end of the line, Tang Zheng sat in the car with one hand on the steering wheel, his eyes narrowed.
With the sudden addition of a variable like Fu Cheng, Tang Zheng had to be careful.
By the time Fu Huai 'an hung up the call, Lin Nuan had already washed her face with cold water and redone her skincare routine.
Fu Huai 'an casually tossed his phone onto the bedside table and drew the curtains, blocking out the golden sunlight outside the window.
Alarm bells went off in Lin Nuan's head.
Fu Huai 'an gazed at Lin Nuan with interest as he untied the towel around his waist.
The thin-skinned Lin Nuan turned her head away, her ears red as she stood there.
Turning to leave, Lin Nuan felt that she was being pretentious. After all, they were already husband and wife …
But Fu Huai 'an's figure was too tempting, and Lin Nuan was afraid that she would have another nosebleed.
Fu Huai 'an put on the clothes on the bed one by one, and Lin Nuan also moved her legs to get clothes to change.
