Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 271: Looking for Trouble

Ye Cheng quickly filled up the glasses again.

While the two leaders chatted, Ye Cheng waited on them flawlessly as he listened to their conversation.

He knew this was his chance. These were all business opportunities, and as long as he seized the opportunities, the Ye family would be able to profit.

At this time, Bureau Chief Chang glanced at the door and asked, “Why isn’t Fu Ting here today?”

Vice Mayor Fu said, “I have two distant relatives who came to visit so Fu Ting is entertaining them. She’ll be here in a while…”

Bureau Chief Chang looked at Ye Cheng meaningfully as he said, “Fu Ting is a truly capable child. Ye Cheng, you must cherish her well…”

Ye Cheng smiled, seemingly embarrassed, as he poured another glass of wine.

Vice Mayor Fu looked at Ye Cheng with a hint of admiration and said, “Nowadays, there aren’t many young people like Ye Cheng. I think very highly of him. Bureau Chief Chang, you have to take good care of him…”

The two leaders continued to exchange pleasantries.

Ye Cheng knew the praises he received were due to his handling of Ye Xin’s matter in a way that the duo deemed appropriate. Despite Fu Ting’s words, he knew the solution she had come up with was the duo’s idea. He was aware that it mattered not to the duo if he was capable as long as he was obedient.

…

Two people stood in front of Fu Ting at this moment. They were none other than Fu Guo and Fu Le.

Fu Ting looked at the documents in her hands with a frown. “These can’t prove that Zhuang Ji has anything to do with you.”

Fu Guo quickly said, “Tingting, it’s like this. When my wife was alive, she intended for Fu Le to marry Song Ning. However, who knew Song Ning would turn around and marry someone else. Due to her marriage, we lost everything. Originally, we had a chance to break into the international market, but now, we’ve lost the patents and trademarks along with Zhuang Ji…”

“We wanted to snatch Zhuang Ji back, but the family Song Ning married into is the Mu family. We can’t afford to offend the Mu family. That’s why we came to you in hopes of finding a solution for this matter. The Mu Group isn’t in the clothing business, and their interest doesn’t intersect with ours. However, since they dislike our Fu family, they refused all our attempts to negotiate. For this reason, we’ve been stuck without any progress in regard to this matter…”

Fu Ting looked at Fu Guo indifferently before she returned her gaze to the document in her hands. “Eldest Cousin Brother, let’s just talk about facts. There’s no need for you to try and incite me. I’d rather you not use your clumsy skills on me. I’ve already heard about Fu Le’s foolishness…” She paused for a moment before she asked, “Oh, that’s right. When will he marry that nurse?”

Fu Le’s head was lowered, and his eyes were trained on the ground.

Fu Guo smiled apologetically and said, “We have no such plans. Feng Man is just a nurse. They’re of different backgrounds so he has no plans of marrying her…”

Fu Le instinctively raised his head to look at his father. However, in the end, he did not refute those words.

Fu Ting sneered. “You failed to marry Song Ning and you even failed when cheating on her. Don’t you think you’re too big of a failure?”

Fu Le was silent.

Fu Guo smiled sheepishly before he said, “Tingting, help me think of a way. Why don’t you see if there’s any suitable Young Miss you can introduce to Fu Le? Although our family is small, we still can’t simply let anyone marry into our family, right?”

Fu Ting rolled her eyes. “At least, you have some awareness. However, you really fail in educating your son. Song Ning is a treasure, and yet, all of you let her get away.” She put down the document in her hand and rose to her feet as she said, “However, there’s something worth fighting for here. I’ll speak to the lawyers and see if we can negotiate with Song Ning. It’ll be good if we can come to an agreement. If we can’t…”

Fu Ting trailed off. In the end, she only said, “Eldest Cousin Brother, return for now and wait for the news…”

Fu Guo said ingratiatingly, “Tingting, you’re really capable. I’d be happy if Fu Le were half as capable as you. Why don’t you let Fu Le learn from you?”

Fu Ting glanced at Fu Le before she said, “Alright. Come to the head office next week and look for me…”

Fu Guo was overjoyed when he heard these words.
