A popular female live streamer with a constant stream of wealthy patrons.

With a cold expression, he replied, "It's inconvenient for you to take care of my mother. I'll send someone to replace you. Thank you for your hard work."

You should know how severe your aunt's depression is; I just want her to be happy.

Xia Wanyu's words reminded Fu Yanshi of the time his mother committed suicide by cutting her wrists in the bathroom that year, leaving a pool of blood on the floor, a glaring crimson stain...

The reason was that he refused to listen to his family and get engaged to Xia Wanyu.

Since being diagnosed with severe depression, Fu's mother's controlling nature has become stronger day by day. No matter how big or small the matter is, if she is slightly unhappy, she will contemplate suicide. The last time she took half a bottle of sleeping pills was simply because the maid who had been taking care of her wanted to resign.

The doctor said she was traumatized after being kidnapped and was psychologically too fragile. The only treatment was to let her rest and be as compliant as possible.

Fu Yanshi's hand hovered over the screen for a long time, but he ultimately did not reply to Xia Wanyu.

A moment later, Secretary Lin came and knocked on the door. "Mr. Fu, you wanted to see me?"

"Yes, this time, Xu Qinghuan will be listed as a contributor to the research and development project."

"Ok!"

Secretary Lin was genuinely happy for Xu Qinghuan! Although she was a newcomer, she worked very hard without complaint, and the projects she had participated in before were all completed with a high degree of success and without any flaws. In addition, her name was also perfectly acceptable.

"You should mentor her more in the future, and make sure her resume isn't tainted." Fu Yanshi now had to prepare for both possibilities.

It's not enough for me to just walk towards Xu Qinghuan; I also need to get her to walk towards me.

"I understand, Mr. Fu."

……

At dinner, if Secretary Lin hadn't called her three times in a row to come downstairs, Xu Qinghuan would have just eaten some bread and continued working.

As soon as she arrived at the hotel restaurant, she saw Secretary Lin walking over with a big smile on her face.

"I have some good news, do you want to hear it?"

"of course yes."

"President Fu personally spoke up and said that you could be listed as a co-author on this project."

Xu Qinghuan was a little confused, increasingly baffled by Fu Yanshi's actions. He had suddenly left earlier, and she thought he was angry! How could he turn around and agree to her signature?

"You'll have to thank President Fu properly later."

Secretary Lin didn't notice her confusion; she was only focused on reminding her apprentice not to get too excited and forget to thank the president for his promotion.

Xu Qinghuan nodded quickly, "Yes, I understand."

Soon, Fu Yanshi and several managers appeared at the restaurant.

He was still so conspicuous, attracting countless eyes to look in his direction from the moment he entered.

Fu Yanshi wasn't wearing a formal suit, but instead changed into a black casual outfit. His hair was still neatly combed, and his slightly furrowed thick eyebrows and tightly pursed thin lips added to his aloofness, making him appear cold and noble.

Before Xu Qinghuan could look away, she bumped right into him.

She instinctively looked away, pretending she hadn't seen anything.

"I've already sent the project signing information to head office. After the legal department reviews it, we can use the new contract." Secretary Lin deliberately mentioned this to Fu Yan while next to Xu Qinghuan.

Xu Qinghuan knew that he was reminding her.

"Um... thank you for your consideration, Mr. Fu." Given the situation, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and start a conversation with Fu Yanshi.

The latter simply nodded slightly, indicating that he had heard.

During dinner, Xu Qinghuan kept her head down and ate without saying a word.

However, she noticed that none of the dishes she ate with Fu Yanshi seemed to contain garlic...

Did he specifically instruct him to do this?
