Shiyang was blocked for a moment and didn't know how to refute. He was so distracted by his rhythm that he couldn't even find the point, and he couldn't even consciously lose his momentum.
But Fu Jingchuan was still aggressive: "Shiyang, you ran away five times and still fell into my hands. Are you going to gamble your future for the sixth time?"
Shi Yang forced out a smile: "This sentence sounds really disappointing."
Fu Jingchuan: "What's so despairing? You don't like it anymore anyway. To you, I'm no different from the cats and dogs on the roadside. Isn't it just so you can concentrate on your career?"
Shiyang pretended not to hear the strangeness in his words, pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.
Fu Jingchuan sat back upright, stretched his long hand into the document bag behind his seat, pulled out a contract and a pen, and handed it to her: "Sign it."
Shiyang glanced at it and saw that it was still the contract he had thrust into her hand in the restaurant just now, but it was brand new and he had probably printed a few copies together.
Shiyang didn't reach out to pick it up.
"I'd like to think about it again."
Fu Jingchuan turned to look at her: "How long will it take to consider?"
Shiyang didn't know that her emotions were ups and downs today so much that she didn't have time to stop and think carefully.
Fu Jingchuan: "I can only give you a week and a half."
"The new company will open next Friday. If you don't come, you will be deemed to have given up automatically." Fu Jingchuan said, putting the contract into her hands. "I will replace the Guofeng Resort project by then. I would rather not have this plan than make another one midway. Substitute and follow up.”
After saying that, without waiting for her to speak, he restarted the car: "I'll take you back to the hotel first."
Fu Jingchuan sent Shiyang back to the hotel. As soon as he got back to the car, Tang Shaoyu called.
"How are you two?" Tang Shaoyu on the other end of the phone was a little worried, "Are you okay?"
Fu Jingchuan: "It's okay."
"Then vivivan is Shiyang..." Tang Shaoyu changed his words, "How is she now? Is she in a better condition?"
Fu Jingchuan: "She's fine."
Tang Shaoyu: "What about the Guofeng Resort case? Will she take it? There is also the position of design director..."
Fu Jingchuan: "I don't know."
Tang Shaoyu: "..."
"Let's see next Friday." Fu Jingchuan said, "If someone comes, let her continue. If someone doesn't come, replace her."
Tang Shaoyu: "..."
"No." Tang Shaoyu tried to persuade, "Don't you give me more advice? It would be a pity to give up..."
Fu Jingchuan: "What else can I do to persuade you? Didn't you see that your great designers paid money to avoid me?"
"..." Tang Shaoyu was choked, "Forget it, I'll find another way."
Saying that, he was about to hang up the phone.
"Wait a minute." Fu Jingchuan interrupted him, "How long has Shiyang been in your office?"
Tang Shaoyu: "It's been a year."
Fu Jingchuan: "Is there anything abnormal?"
"..." Tang Shaoyu was confused by the question, "What can be so abnormal about a girl? She just goes to work and goes to class normally."
As he said this, he remembered that Fu Jingchuan had asked Shiyang sternly in the restaurant whether the child was still there, and he paused: "You don't suspect that she gave birth to the child without telling you, do you?"
"That shouldn't be the case. I met her when you first came to Zurich. She is no different from that time in the past year. Her figure has not been out of shape. I haven't heard about any children. She has a child. My classmate is also in our company, and I haven't seen her mention it before." Tang Shaoyu analyzed it very seriously.
Fu Jingchuan: "Give me her phone number."
Tang Shaoyu: "Ah?"
Fu Jingchuan: "I have something to ask her about."
"Oh, okay, let me talk to her first." Tang Shaoyu hung up Fu Jingchuan, called Susanna, explained the situation to her, and then passed her phone to Fu Jingchuan.
Fu Jingchuan is still downstairs in the hotel, in the car.
When Tang Shaoyu sent the phone number, he immediately called Susanna back. He stopped midway through the call and thought for a while. She was close to Shiyang and might not be able to ask anything.
Fu Jingchuan finally withdrew, glanced at the brightly lit hotel building, restarted the car, and drove away.
Fu Jingchuan did not go home directly, but went to Shen's house.
The Shen family lives in the old villa area of Xicheng. Although it has been an old house for more than 20 years, the house does not look too old, but has a bit of tranquility that has accumulated over time.
Shen Yu was born and grew up in this house until she was more than five years old.
The whole Shen family has been living here for more than 20 years. It's not that they can't afford to change the house, but the old man of the Shen family is afraid that if they move out, Shen Yu will not be able to find a home when she comes back.
Fu Jingchuan rarely came here since Shen Yu disappeared, so he suddenly came to the door in the middle of the night. Everyone in the room was very surprised, especially Shen Linhai. Everyone had already changed into pajamas and was about to go to bed. I heard that Fu Jingchuan came over and was still holding on to his sick body. Come out: "Xiao Chuanzi, why are you here?"
As he spoke, the person greeted upstairs: "Xiao Yaozi, Xiao Chuanzi is here."
Shen Qingyao appeared at the stairs on the third floor and looked at Fu Jingchuan from top to bottom.
The two have not been in contact since that time in Zurich two years ago.
Fu Jingchuan glanced at Shen Qingyao and then at Shen Linhai: "I'm looking for Shangguan Linlin."
Shen Linhai's eyes showed surprise: "It turns out you came here specifically to see Xiao Yuer. She is in the room."
Then he shouted to Shen Qingyao: "If you let Xiao Yu'er come out, just tell Xiao Chuanzi to look for her."
After saying that, he looked at Fu Jingchuan: "How did you know that Xiao Yu'er is back?"
Fu Jingchuan: "I heard that."
After saying that, he looked up towards the stairs.
Shangguan Linlin followed Shen Qingyao downstairs reluctantly.
Fu Jingchuan didn't know why Shangguan Linlin agreed to live in the Shen family.
The news of Shangguan Linlin's return to China was mentioned to Yang once. Fang Wanqing and Fu Wujun also mentioned it to him several times, intentionally or unintentionally. They also hinted to him that she was living back at Shen's house and asked him to take some time to visit Shen's house.
Shangguan Linlin also saw Fu Jingchuan and was very surprised: "Huh? Why are you here too?"
"I have something to ask you." Fu Jingchuan said, "Can I talk to you outside?"
Shangguan Linlin looked at Shen Qingyao and Shen Linhai hesitantly, then looked at Fu Jingchuan, but did not dare to agree immediately.
"It's right at the door, don't worry." Fu Jingchuan said.
Shangguan Linlin nodded hesitantly: "Okay."
Then he followed Fu Jingchuan out.
Fu Jingchuan didn't go too far, he was in the yard directly opposite the living room, where both Shen Linhai and Shen Qingyao could see.
He looked back at Shangguan Linlin, who had followed hesitantly: "Miss Shangguan, did Shiyang take a long leave during your first year of graduate school?"
Shangguan Linlin was stunned when asked, then thought about it carefully, and then shook his head: "No."
Fu Jingchuan: "What about the short vacation?"
This Shangguan Linlin really didn't remember it. She didn't even remember taking a day or two off herself, let alone others.
"I don't remember." Shangguan Linlin said honestly, "But I don't remember it. Shiyang is very serious and self-disciplined. He never arrives late or leaves early, let alone asks for leave."
Fu Jingchuan: "Are there any photos of you from that period?"
Shangguan Linlin: "Shiyang doesn't like taking pictures, how could I have a photo of her."
Fu Jingchuan: "We don't need her personal photos. Do you have any photos of your group activities?"
Shangguan Linlin thought about it seriously: "It seems there is."
She took out her phone, opened her circle of friends, scrolled forward, and found a photo from February last year.
"This is a group photo taken by the class when they went to the construction site to observe." Shangguan Linlin said, turning the phone screen to Fu Jingchuan, "Shiyang is also there, in the upper right corner."
