Chapter 152 End of the Inland Journey
Chapter 152 End of the Inland Journey
"Okay, there are also maple forests in Yuen Long, Hong Kong. I have also seen 'the mountains are covered with red, and the forests are dyed red'. Let me see the differences between the magnificent beauty of the red maple leaves on the mountains in the capital and Hong Kong." Fu Ziyan responded readily, walked to the sofa and sat down with a smile.
Li Zitao asked with a grin, "Yan Yan, when did you come to the capital? Why didn't you just come and play with me?"
Fu Ziyan showed a smug expression, "You have to go to school, I can't let it delay your studies!" As for the fact that her father had to accompany her to do homework every night, Fu Ziyan had selectively ignored it at this time.
As I wished, I saw the shock and envy flash in Li Zitao's eyes.
"Are you already on vacation in Hong Kong at this time?" Li Zitao's "envy" almost solidified into reality!
God knows, he really doesn't like going to school. It's so boring to sit in the classroom and listen to lectures every day. He can't wait to graduate and go to the military camp for training.
Fu Ziyan's face lit up with a bright smile. "No, but I asked for leave because I want to go to the mainland to play!"
Li Zitao:!!!
How enviable! I wonder if he can also ask for a leave from school to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the capital.
*
On the other side of the Li family's living room.
After more than 20 years of separation, the two who grew up together met again, and naturally a myriad of thoughts surged in their hearts. However, Fu Qiyuan and Li Quyi were calm enough, sitting opposite each other on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea, without revealing a single flaw.
Hearing the chatter of the two children, Fu Qiyuan's face flashed with helplessness and doting.
Li Quyi glanced teasingly at the little brother sitting opposite him, the black-hearted little dumpling who used to run behind him, now a graceful, gentle and polite brother.
"I didn't expect Mr. Fu to be so doting on children."
Fu Qiyuan chuckled, "He's just a child, and he's been spoiled all the way up. Comrade Li, please forgive me for making a fool of myself."
Li Quyi looked at his niece, who had a bright and charming smile, and thought it was normal for her younger brother to pamper her more. He smiled and said, "My two children are also naughty."
"I settled in Guangzhou before coming to the capital, and it was Comrade Ziheng who received me and played with me. He was calm and composed, and the future is promising." Fu Qiyuan praised him as if he were being polite.
Then, as if casually mentioning it, he added, "During the last typhoon, my daughter Titi was in Guangzhou, and thanks to Comrade Ziheng's care, I thought of donating some money to the county under Comrade Ziheng's jurisdiction to build bridges and roads, and also donate some equipment to start a factory, as a token of my gratitude."
When he said this, a smile appeared on Fu Qiyuan's face, and there was some pride in his tone, as if he was showing off his daughter.
"Titi insisted on contributing her own share and wanted to donate all the money her grandfather gave her for her trip to the mainland, saying that her grandfather would be happy to contribute to the development of the mainland. The old man doted on her and gave her a lot of money, which saved me half of the donation amount."
Li Quyi immediately understood that his younger brother was telling his eldest son, Li Ziheng, about his relationship with the Fu family. He also heard the implication that "Dad is thinking of him." He nodded slightly, but said something clichéd, "Thank you, Mr. Fu, for the donation. Thank you, Mr. Fu and Comrade Ziyan..."
Fu Qiyuan waved his hand. "This is our thanks to Comrade Ziheng, and it's well deserved. Typhoon Ruth brought quite a bit of damage, and Titi was planning to return from Guangzhou by yacht. Luckily, she was stopped. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to think about what would have happened. Plus, Comrade Ziheng took great care of Titi during her time in Guangzhou."
Li Quyi curved his lips and offered an invitation without further ado, "If Mr. Fu wants to come to the capital, we will certainly welcome you."
Fu Qiyuan smiled and shook his head. "Although Dad is in good health and everything is fine, he doesn't like to go out much. Besides, Dad once said that there are traces of old friends in the mainland, so he probably won't come."
When Li Quyi heard the word "old friend", he was slightly startled. He picked up the cup and took a sip, then talked about other topics.
Although the atmosphere of the chat was relaxed, Fu Qiyuan and Li Quyi were actually very cautious. They only talked about some daily trivial matters of the children and did not involve any sensitive words. However, the content that the two wanted to communicate was already mixed in, and they each understood it.
On the other side of the living room, Fu Ziyan and Li Zitao were also having a pleasant chat, mainly because Li Zitao's daily life was so interesting, and he was also very good at storytelling, making him an epic and excellent chat partner.
Considering the Li family, Fu Qiyuan didn't stay at the Li family for too long and left with Titi.
The whole time, he acted as if he was accompanying his daughter to visit friends and expressing gratitude to the friends' family for taking care of his daughter when she came to the capital last time.
Fu Qiyuan's trip was to see his elder brother whom he hadn't seen for many years. Now after meeting Li Quyi, the main purpose of his trip to the mainland has been achieved.
But they couldn't just go back to Hong Kong. First, they had to conceal their main purpose and not bring trouble to the Li family. Second, the equipment that Fu Qiyuan promised had not yet been delivered to the Tianjin port for handover, so he had to wait until the handover was completed before he could leave.
Therefore, Fu Ziyan can still play in the capital for a few more days.
Fu Ziyan: Super happy!
In the next few days, Fu Ziyan had a lot of fun.
She first went to Xiangshan Park with her friends as scheduled to have a picnic and admire the red maple leaves, and made maple leaf bookmarks together. Then she went with her father to visit the beautiful scenery of the Summer Palace at the turn of autumn and winter, climbed Jingshan Mountain, overlooked the Forbidden City from Wanchun Pavilion, and went to a cultural relic shop to buy some antiques that were allowed to be purchased by the state.
Even when it came to the Great Wall, when Fu Ziyan was struggling between feeling "tired" and "wanting to climb with dad", her father made the final decision and took them to climb it.
I feel a little tired, but I feel a great sense of accomplishment!
Fu Ziyan's photo boxes were also full. She filled two large boxes with photos.
Fu Ziyan brought not only her usual camera but also a Polaroid camera. Although it took at least sixty seconds for a Polaroid camera to print a photo, it was still better than nothing.
Souvenir photos of the capital in the early 1970s~
With Fu Ziyan's dressing style, when the Internet became popular in the new century, no matter which photo was uploaded to the Internet, it would definitely cause a lot of "wow"!
Time passed like the wheels of a cargo ship. Within a few days, the equipment purchased by Fu Mingzhang and Fu Qiyuan arrived at the Tianjin port.
When everything was confirmed, Fu Qiyuan took his daughter back along the same route, passing through Guangzhou where they stayed for a day to sign the contract for the cooperation that had been discussed previously, including the donation amount promised by Fu Qiyuan.
As soon as she returned to Hong Kong, Fu Ziyan was almost overwhelmed by the influx of invitations, including invitations to various banquets, both business and private, as well as some charity auctions and dinners, etc., two full stacks.
Meeting Meng Tiao's pleading look, Fu Ziyan waved her hand, "Nothing particularly important, just turn it down."
She knew in her heart that some of these posts were out of courtesy, and some were probably because they heard that she had returned from the capital with her father and wanted to get some information from her, but there was nothing to go on.
"Okay, Miss," Meng Tiao nodded, then took out another stack of documents, "These are the documents that require your approval."
"Put it down. Is there anything else?" Fu Ziyan's expression remained unchanged. After two weeks of going out to play, it was expected that she would have some work piled up. Not only her, but her father would probably be busy for a few days as well.
"Miss Gu sorted out some of her class notes and sent them over. Young Master Wen and Young Master Xu also sent a copy each."
Fu Ziyan paused while flipping through the documents, her tone unchanged, "Okay, I understand."
When Meng Tiao left the study, she was still complaining in her heart. The eldest lady was worthy of being the eldest lady. Even though she already had a real boyfriend, she still had many suitors. She didn't know how jealous Mr. Lu must be.
Fu Ziyan was not distracted by the suitors' attentiveness. She had gotten used to it over the years. Moreover, she had a large pile of documents to deal with and had no time to deal with the love affairs of these young boys.
If she had nothing to do, she might try to persuade them gently, but now...
She came back just in time for the weekend, so she only had half a day to review these documents. She had to go back to studying early tomorrow morning to catch up on the learning progress of the past two weeks.
Christmas is at the end of this month. As usual, the school will have a week-long Christmas holiday, but there will also be an exam before the holiday.
She must not get any letter other than A in her course grades, otherwise, wouldn't it be shameful for her as the student union president?
As a child, Fu Ziyan thought that if she were to be reborn, she would never be a child prodigy, but only a happy child. But who could have foreseen that she would end up in Hong Kong and become Fu Qiyuan's daughter?
Since she enjoys the best resources, she is destined not to be mediocre, so she can only become a top student.
Well, he will not only be a top student, but also a future domineering CEO.
Fu Ziyan flipped through the documents about Yihuan Toy Company in her hand and frowned slightly.
Last month, Yi Huan Toys officially acquired the French company PH Toys, focusing on developing the European toy market. Given the ongoing adjustment period, low sales are understandable, and Fu Ziyan understands and allows for some leeway. However, it's unbelievable that even in the mature Hong Kong market, sales are declining.
Fu Ziyan pressed the short-line phone in the study, and within a minute, Meng Tiao knocked on the door and came in.
"What's going on with Yi Huan Toy Company recently?"
Meng Tiao said truthfully, "There's a new toy store called Tongxin that's opened recently in Kowloon. The prices are cheaper than Yihuan's, and they sell similar toys."
Fu Ziyan tapped the table with her fingers and said calmly, "Is Mr. Yi in Hong Kong recently? Please help me make an appointment with him. Let's make an appointment for Tuesday night." She had a regular student union meeting on Monday and was probably not available.
Without waiting for Meng Tiao's reply, Fu Ziyan continued to instruct, "Also, show me the recent personnel transfer documents of Yihuan Toy Company." Although she was not responsible for the management of the toy company, as a shareholder, she had the right to view specific internal documents of the company.
Meng Tiao's expression was stern. "Okay, Miss, Mr. Yi's flight is this Wednesday and he just returned."
Fu Ziyan said "hmm" and turned her attention back to the documents on the table.
Meng Tiao submitted documents according to their importance. Knowing that the eldest lady didn't have much time, she only submitted some important documents such as financial statements and new product market analysis. She also had other documents, but she planned to wait until the eldest lady was a little free before submitting them.
So after Fu Ziyan gave the order, not long after, Meng Tiao came back to the study room with the personnel transfer documents and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
Fu Ziyan took the document and saw that the production supervisor of the toy factory workshop had changed. "Who is Chen Yaozu?"
Meng Tiao tried hard to ignore the fact that her eldest daughter, when working, exuded an aura identical to Fu Sheng's, and quickly replied, "Chen Yaozu, formerly the leader of Group A in Workshop 1 of Factory 1, was temporarily promoted because the original production supervisor was transferred to the French toy factory to provide guidance. As for the connection behind this, his uncle is the deputy director of the toy factory. However, in the past few months, the director of the toy factory has also been temporarily transferred to the French branch to provide guidance, and the deputy director is temporarily taking over the director's duties."
Fu Ziyan nodded, her tone seemingly calm, but actually piercing with a sharp edge. She said concisely, "Find out more details."
"Yes." Although Fu Ziyan didn't say anything specific, Meng Tiao knew very well what the eldest lady meant.
"Did President Yi deal with any of them after he came back?" Although Yi Lei had only been back for a few days, Fu Ziyan believed that he couldn't have done nothing.
"Boss Yi fired a group of store employees. Boss Yi found out that they all received money from Tongxin Toy Store."
Fu Ziyan: ...
A very reasonable business war!
It's just a bit too simple and crude.
"With President Yi not here, we can't tell who is managing the company?" Fu Ziyan was so angry that she laughed.
Although Fu Ziyan is a cute little girl who behaves well and acts like a spoiled child in front of her grandparents and father, she grew up under the influence of her father and follows Fu Qiyuan's style in work and investment.
Seeing the young lady's anger, Meng Tiao's heart tightened. "The design department's manuscripts were stolen, and Vice President Yang was busy catching the thief. Finally, they caught him. It was a new intern design assistant. He has been prosecuted and the trial will go to court next week."
Fu Ziyan was speechless for a moment. "Send my lawyer out to sue the person behind that design assistant, and notify the Xinmeng Newspaper to report this extensively."
From now on, she will sue anyone who plagiarizes the properties under her name. She wants to see who else dares to plagiarize!
"Also, Vice President Yang, you should also send someone to check if he has any connection with other toy companies." Fu Ziyan did not hesitate to speculate with the greatest malice. Vice President Yang might not be really stupid. He might be deliberately cooperating.
Surprise flashed in Meng Tiao's eyes, "Yes, Miss."
Fu Ziyan was rich and the Fu family was powerful, so she found out what she wanted to investigate very quickly.
When Meng Tiao handed the report results to Fu Ziyan, it was Tuesday after school. She had just changed her clothes and was about to go to the headquarters of Yi Huan Toy Company to meet Yi Lei.
Fu Ziyan took the document and quickly flipped through it, then smiled and said, "What a coincidence."
When she saw the housekeeper on her way out, Fu Ziyan realized that she hadn't informed him yet, so she casually said, "Uncle Tan, I have something to do tonight and won't be back for dinner."
Tan Wu was left staring at the young lady's back in a daze.
When Fu Ziyan arrived, Yi Lei was sitting in the office busy processing documents. When the secretary came to report, Yi Lei hurriedly got up and walked towards the meeting room.
"Miss Fu."
Fu Ziyan smiled and nodded to Yi Lei, "Boss Yi, you've worked hard during this period."
There was no sign at all that she was coming to "blame" others as a shareholder for the decline in sales.
