Was it trying to avoid hitting Xia Zhiyi directly?
No, Xia Zhiyi believed that if it could, it would never have hailed while he was indoors; if it was going to hail, it would have done so long ago.
The fact that this situation, which seems like a simple act of venting anger, can only mean that the underlying force is so weak that it can no longer control the weather. The hail was warned about in the weather forecast yesterday, so it didn't appear out of thin air.
"How interesting." Xia Zhiyi picked up the hot tea beside her, took a leisurely sip, and smiled as she looked out the window. "Seeing you so helplessly furious, I might be able to eat two more bowls of rice later."
The hailstones seemed to be pounding harder, yet they also seemed to remain unchanged.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door, and the restaurant manager's voice sounded from outside, " Mr. Xia, may I come in?"
Xia Zhiyi turned her head. "Please come in."
The person in charge smiled gently, pushed open the door, and walked in. One hand was behind his back, the other in front of him, and he leaned slightly forward...
To be honest, for a moment, Xia Zhiyi the plot was making a desperate gamble, using its last bit of strength to control someone to assassinate him.
But that thing just lacks human emotions, it's not truly brainless. Knowing Xia Zhiyi, it wouldn't do something so stupid.
Well, while some of its previous actions were pretty stupid, this is just too obviously stupid.
Fortunately, the person in charge wasn't there to assassinate him, but rather... to deliver flowers to him.
"Huh? Flowers?" Xia Zhiyi looked at the red rose in the person in charge's hand and paused for a moment. "Who sent them?"
Fu Chi?
No, given Fu Chi's style, he wouldn't delegate this to someone else; he would personally deliver the flowers to Xia Zhiyi.
The person in charge smiled and said, "It's one of your fans. They said they saw you sitting here by the window just now. They didn't want to bother you, but they wanted to bring you a bouquet of flowers to express their feelings."
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."
He didn't reach out to take it himself, but smiled and asked the person in charge to put the message in a vase on the table next to the private room. The person in charge didn't say anything and did as he was told.
Afterwards, the person in charge briefly explained the restaurant's recent business situation to Xia Zhiyi before leaving.
This restaurant opened in January. It's not Xia Zhiyi's property, but Xia Zhiyi invest some money in it.
They didn't follow Fu Chi's route, but Teng Shu's. I heard that Teng Si'an also got involved. In short, Xia Zhiyi is a minor shareholder of this restaurant, which is why the person in charge is so polite, even personally delivering a bouquet of flowers.
Just as Xia Zhiyi wondering whether she should check the bouquet of flowers again, she received a message on her phone from the person who sent them.
[ Teng Si'an (REED): Bro, did you receive the flowers?]
[ Teng Si'an (REED): Surprised? Unexpected? Happy?!]
[ Teng Si'an (REED): You've been so busy lately, and I didn't want to bother you. I heard you went to the restaurant today, so I asked the manager to order a bouquet of flowers to be sent over as a small token of my appreciation. How do you like them?]
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
The case is solved.
[X: What flowers did you ask him to send?]
[ Teng Si'an (REED): Huh? I didn't say that. I just said we'd give whichever one is popular.]
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
Oh, no wonder it's a red rose.
A new movie was recently released, and the plot revolves around a love story centered around red roses. It's quite touching, so red roses have become a hot topic both online and offline lately.
He thought there was something wrong... cough, it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Teng Si'an knew some things about him, including his relationship with Fu Chi. Even if he did have feelings for Xia Zhiyi, the Teng family wouldn't raise someone so stubborn as to try and steal her away from Fu Chi.
Xia Zhiyi took a picture of the red rose and sent it to Teng Si'an, making a couple of teasing remarks before moving on.
Teng Si'an: Ahhhhh, it's a red rose! I'm so jealous!
However, even if the child died, he recovered quickly, so it didn't have much of an impact.
When Fu Chi arrived, it was as if he had radar or something; even though the bouquet of roses was in a vase in an inconspicuous place, he noticed it immediately, and the roses were still in full bloom.
Fu Chi: "..."
Xia Zhiyi noticed his gaze, turned her head to look at him, coughed lightly, and explained the situation.
Fu Chi's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't have time to say it.
Because the other people they had arranged to meet at noon also arrived one after another.
This time, they invited several people who were also interested in Huanyu or other businesses controlled by Huanyu's senior management. They had actually met with them before, but they had never gathered everyone together like this time.
And now, they are about to divide those industries up completely over the dinner table.
The negotiations went very smoothly. In fact, given that Hangu could have easily taken it all for himself, Fu Chi's willingness to contact them for cooperation made it difficult for the negotiations not to go well.
In business, especially for those who are well-informed and know the true nature of Huanyu, they won't hesitate to take action against those people Huanyu.
Apart from Fu Chi, who is not yet married but has found a partner, everyone else present is middle-aged, has their own family, has sons and daughters, and will inevitably consider the possibility that their children might want to try their luck in the entertainment industry in the future.
Previously, there was nothing they could do about Huanyu; it involved too many people, and for them to go up against Huanyu with their individual abilities would be suicide.
Now that someone is taking the lead, and I heard it's because they received instructions from above, no one feels any pressure about removing this cancer.
After the business was mostly settled, one of the clothing business owners smiled at Xia Zhiyi and asked, " President Fu, we've already agreed on the other businesses, and I, Old Zhang, have no objections on that. But that entertainment company, are you planning to take it over personally?"
After saying that, as if afraid that Fu Chi would misunderstand, he added, "I didn't mean anything by it. I was just thinking that if President Fu, take over, we can continue to cooperate if I have any endorsement or similar activities in the future!"
Upon hearing this, the others all nodded in agreement.
Putting everything else aside, they are all people in the same big circle. Everyone had heard of Fu Chi before, and after getting to know him better, they all felt that Fu Chi was a rather upright businessman.
Working with someone like that reduces a lot of concerns.
It might not earn a lot, but it's stable.
Those invited by Fu Chi were generally of good character and naturally preferred to cooperate with someone like Fu Chi rather than someone who would break the law for a little profit.
That might have earned them more, but look at it now, hasn't Huanyu earned the most, become the target?
People should always walk the right path.
