(Second update)
However, I calmed down and pushed him away.
"Then hurry up and bring me the gift agreement, and quickly hand over the renamed shopping mall."
Fu Huaiyan was somewhat disappointed, but he still processed the paperwork for Su Wanqiao.
Through a series of actions, Su Wanqiao now owns a top-tier luxury shopping mall in the South City.
She was incredibly happy; staying was definitely the right decision, and she could get twice the amount of money she had before.
After Fu Huaiyan went to the company.
Su Wanqiao was just about to inspect her new shopping mall when she received a call from Fu Yichu. From his voice, it seemed that he needed something from her.
She told the other person to go to the location in the mall and wait for her there.
Fu Yichu assumed Su Wanqiao wanted to go shopping, so upon meeting her, he readily said, "Sister-in-law, whatever you like today, I'll pay for it all."
Su Wanqiao looked at him with a half-smile. Normally, she would have been very happy to hear this.
But hearing it today makes me want to brag.
"No need, your brother gave me this mall. I can buy whatever I want, so there's no need for you to pay."
Fu Yichu choked a little by the display of affection.
"I see. But it's only right that I do it, brother."
"Speak, what do you want from me?"
"Because of my negligence in dealing with Director Gao, which caused considerable losses to the company, although my elder brother managed to salvage the situation, I still feel somewhat guilty. I was thinking of helping the Fu Group secure a big deal to generate more revenue for the group, but currently there aren't any good projects available. Furthermore, I'm encountering obstacles in everything I do. I don't know if it's related to my character's persona. While I'm not in the same situation as being targeted in the original book, I'm in a position where the more I do, the more mistakes I make, and I'm not good at anything I do, achieving nothing. I don't want to be like this, but if things continue like this, the gossip in the company will only grow louder, with everyone saying I'm not fit for this position."
Su Wanqiao thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Did they also say that you're far inferior to your brother, and that if you weren't born into a good family, you would never have gotten this position? Did those words really hurt you?"
"Yes, but I've never thought of it that way. I've always respected my older brother, but my current situation is very frustrating, and I don't know what to do."
Su Wanqiao also felt sorry for Fu Yichu.
The original story is about this very reason, which caused Fu Yichu's mental state to become increasingly unhealthy and dark. After all, how could a person not feel miserable when they are constantly constrained and unable to succeed at anything?
Moreover, the reason for his failure was not a lack of personal ability, but rather bad luck.
The reason it won't work is because he's a supporting character. How can the plot of brothers killing each other be staged if he doesn't turn evil? Even if he knew the plot in advance and knew his fate, it's not something that can be resolved with just a few words.
"You're acting this way because of the plot."
Fu Yichu's face turned pale upon hearing this.
"So, am I destined to never escape this plot? I thought knowing the outcome beforehand would prevent any tragedy, but it seems I was too naive."
Fu Yichu looked as pitiful as a puppy.
Su Wanqiao couldn't bear to do it either.
"I have a way."
[You know Hong Kong's richest woman, right? She's coming to the mainland soon to seek semiconductor partners and plans to invest 20 billion yuan. If you Fu Yichu, manage to secure such a huge deal, you'll definitely be praised by the employees at the Fu Group. However, this richest woman has a thing for men, especially men with handsome looks and masculine charm. To close the deal, you'll have to sacrifice a bit of your looks and seduce her.]
"..."
Chapter 25 (Second Update)
Fu Yichu's heart trembled.
"Sister-in-law, I already have a girlfriend. This might not be a good idea. Sang Yu will break up with me if she finds out."
Su Wanqiao rolled her eyes at him.
"Didn't you dislike Sang Yu? Why are you afraid of breaking up with her? If she finds out about this, you can break up with her and cut all ties. Anyway, you've already settled her family's affairs, so you've repaid the favor. Don't feel guilty about the rest."
Upon hearing Fu Yichu immediately became anxious. "No, Sang Yu will be heartbroken."
"You don't even like her, so why do you care if she's heartbroken? Besides, if you don't like her, don't waste her time. It's better to end it sooner rather than later."
Su Wanqiao said this to test Fu Yichu. This kid was really stubborn before, insisting that he didn't like Sang Yu. Now let's see if he's still as stubborn as he was back then.
"No, really no, sister-in-law. I'm with Sang Yu now, I can't be half-hearted and do this kind of thing. What would I be if I betrayed her? I'm a good man, I would never do such a thing."
Su Wanqiao looked at him and smiled, teasingly.
"You don't actually like her, do you?"
"..."
Fu Yichu gritted her teeth and refused to admit it.
"No, it's just that we can't let her lose her heart. She's a good girl, we can't treat her like this."
[This kid's whole body's cooked through, only his mouth is still hard...]
"..."
Su Wanqiao shook her head helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. You said it wouldn't work, but that rich woman doesn't actually like your type. I already told her she likes mature men with decent looks. She thinks you're too young and inexperienced. But there is a suitable candidate. You can see if your second brother is willing to help you."
"Second Brother?"
Hearing this, Fu Yichu was also intrigued; her second brother was indeed still single.
My second brother is very handsome, with a mature and refined appearance. Most importantly, he's a famous movie star, making him a perfect fit for the role.
I just don't know if he can take the plunge. After all, this kind of thing is a bit beneath him, and people with a proud and aloof personality simply can't do it.
