Chapter 34: Arrangements for the Project

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Fu Yuan did not know what Fu Li was up to. At this moment, both his hands were covered in plaster. He looked at Li Zhou in confusion and asked in surprise, “You said that my brother arranged the project that I set up to be given to the French designer, Jade?”

“That’s right, Second Young Master. The president said that you can contact him if you have any objections.”

“Who is Jade… Wait, I understand. She’s Jian Yan, right?” Fu Yuan asked in a low voice.

Li Zhou nodded.

He wondered how the Second Young Master Fu would react next. He had not interacted much with Fu Yuan before.

His phone vibrated, and he looked down to read the new message.

His pupils trembled as he pressed the screen.

“Second Young Master, is there anything else you want to ask?” He raised his head and asked in a slow and probing voice.

“Leave it to Yanyan. She’s very capable.”

Fu Yuan sighed emotionally. He wanted to compensate her by giving her this project as an apology for offending her yesterday.

“By the way, Secretary Li, since Yanyan wants to collaborate with the Fu Corporation, can the Fu Corporation’s public relations department step in and quell the rumors about her online?”

“Don’t worry, Second Young Master. The public relations department is already on the move.”

“Is that so? They’re doing it before I say anything… Brother really cares about Yanyan,” Fu Yuan said with a complicated tone.

He couldn’t accept the fact that Jian Yan had become his sister-in-law. When he thought of this, he couldn’t help but feel irritated.

“Secretary Li, I’m the one who set up the project. I should be the one following up on it. Hand me the contract and I’ll talk to Yanyan. I’m sure you’re very busy helping my brother with his work, so you don’t have to interfere with this project.”

Fu Yuan’s words made sense, but Li Zhou did not dare to agree. With a troubled expression, he said, “Second Young Master, why don’t you go and have a chat with the president? If he agrees, I can hand the project to you.”

He was the President’s man, not Fu Yuan’s.

Fu Yuan understood the meaning behind Li Zhou’s words. Displeasure flashed across his eyes as he turned to leave.

He didn’t want to face his brother. He wanted to take the initiative to call Jian Yan and comfort her. He wanted to look for her to express his apology. However, he didn’t know Jian Yan’s contact information and Li Zhou wasn’t going to give it to him.

Back in the office, Fu Yuan checked the news.

He wanted to see what the public relations department had done. The negative news about Jian Yan had yet to die down, but what he saw instead was Lin Zhi pushing children on the streets.

The old woman had shoved a little girl to the ground. She looked cute and pretty. Beside her, her two brothers who were about the same age were protecting her.

For some reason, Fu Yuan felt that the three children looked extremely familiar, but he was sure that he had never seen them before.

“That’s weird,” Fu Yuan mumbled. Then, he received a call from Jian Wan.

“Brother Yuan, why did you give the project to Jian Yan? Didn’t you say you would give it to us?”

After receiving Fu Yuan’s approval, Li Zhou immediately informed the Jian Group of this arrangement. He was now contacting all the project directors from the Jian Group to discuss the severing of relations with them.

Jian Wan didn’t know about it yet. If she knew about it, she would have rushed over.

Fu Yuan looked at the cast on his arm and said coldly, “I gave Yanyan to apologize for what happened yesterday. I almost hurt her yesterday.”

Jian Wan retorted, “What about me? I helped you yesterday… Brother Yuan, you can’t do this to me…”

“The medicine really isn’t mine. The police took Lu Xue away yesterday not only because she pushed my sister, but also because they found the contraband drugs in her bag. After I poured the glass of water for you, she was alone with the glass for a period of time. She was also the one who called my sister to your room. She was definitely the one who drugged you. It has nothing to do with me.”

Fu Yuan believed most of her words. In his heart, Jian Wan had always been a pure and innocent girl. If it wasn’t for what happened yesterday, he wouldn’t have spoken to her in such a cold tone.

“Is that so? Lu Xue is such a vicious woman. No wonder she pushed Yanyan onto the road. I’m sorry, Wan’er. I misunderstood you,” he said sympathetically.

“It’s okay, Brother Yuan. What about the project?”

Fu Yuan said, “We’ve already made a decision on the project. There’s no way to change it.”

“But don’t worry, Wan’er. When the project was first established, there was a plan to hire more talents. As long as you participate in the embroidery competition and get a good ranking, I can arrange for you to join the project team. There’s a high chance that Yanyan will participate as well. This competition is the first stop to make a name for ourselves. It’ll be the perfect opportunity for us.”

When Jian Wan heard that there was a possibility of joining the project, her expression improved. However, she felt mixed emotions upon hearing that Jian Yan was participating in the very same competition.

She was afraid that Jian Yan would beat her. Yet, at the same time, she was confident in her own abilities.

As long as she won and had Jian Yan under her feet, Brother Yuan would understand that she was the best!

However, before Jian Wan could rejoice, Fu Yuan’s next words hit her hard. “Wan’er, have you seen the news? Your mother went overboard..”
