"Why should I sell it to you?"
Fu Jingshu's deals were never short of buyers; anything that came into his possession would sell, no matter the price.
Shen Qingqing smiled faintly, "Let's be direct. Although you acquired the special medicine at a low price this time, the channel reporting has been interrupted due to today's events, and you have no one to handle it on your end."
"You can wait, but can the patients who need the special medicine wait?"
"And I can help you."
Fu Jingshu's expression was unreadable. He let out a soft "Oh," "It seems you are very confident in your abilities."
Shen Qingqing said lightly, "So, do you want to make this deal?"
Fu Jingshu pondered for a moment, "Alright."
Shen Qingqing turned to leave.
"Aren't you going to say thank you?" Fu Jingshu could sell his medicine to anyone; he wasn't obligated to sell it to her. As for finding a hacker, while it would take some time, it wasn't impossible.
Shen Qingqing stopped and turned slightly, "Our transaction is a win-win. No one owes anyone, so there's no need for thanks."
Fu Jingshu's gaze deepened, "Miss Shen, you are indeed silver-tongued."
And... interesting enough.
"Have the technical department come over now."
Shen Qingqing didn't want to talk to this cunning businessman any longer. He'd made a fortune selling her the special medicine, and she was helping him resolve channel reporting and even immediately sign a purchase contract.
This man was clearly benefiting from both sides, yet he still expected her to thank him.
He was truly getting the better end of the deal and then complaining!
Fu Jingshu glanced at the time, "It's break time now."
Shen Qingqing then realized it was already twelve o'clock. She was also a bit hungry and planned to go out for a meal. As she was leaving, she glanced at Fu Jingshu.
"Aren't you going to eat?"
"No."
Fu Jingshu was intently looking at documents, not lifting his head.
What a workaholic!
Shen Qingqing shook her head. He wasn't hungry, but she was. She left the company and chose a nearby restaurant to eat something simple. Estimating the time, she returned to the company.
However, when she entered the elevator, she saw Shen Yaoyao there as well.
Seeing her, Shen Yaoyao's expression wasn't good either, but she had more important matters to attend to today and didn't argue with Shen Qingqing. She merely snorted and walked out first as soon as the elevator stopped.
Shen Qingqing also stepped out.
When they reached the office door, Shen Yaoyao realized Shen Qingqing was following her. She turned back and glared furiously, "What are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be at your own workstation? What are you doing here?"
"That's none of your business."
Shen Yaoyao sneered, "Of course, it's none of my business, but I won't let you get close to Jingshu!"
Shen Qingqing ignored her and was about to push the door open. Shen Yaoyao became even more convinced that she was deliberately seducing him. Her anger flared, and she hurled the coffee in her hand at her!
Shen Qingqing didn't dodge or evade, using her arm to block.
At the same time, she grabbed Shen Yaoyao's wrist and splashed the coffee back onto Shen Yaoyao's face.
"Ah! You bitch!"
The coffee was scalding hot. It splashed all over her face, burning her skin and even seeping into her eyes. Shen Yaoyao stumbled back, hitting the wall with a bang.
She wanted to rub her eyes but dared not. She flailed her hands helplessly. Even in such pain, her mouth wouldn't stop spewing curses.
"Bitch, how dare you throw coffee at me? I won't let you off!"
Shen Qingqing paid no mind to her curses. She merely caught sight of someone approaching from the corner of her eye. The person was tall and imposing, and his overwhelming aura made it clear who it was without even looking.
"What's going on now?"
Fu Jingshu walked over and noticed many people watching. His cold eyes swept around, and everyone immediately shrunk their necks and returned to their seats, pretending to be busy.
Shen Yaoyao's eyes had recovered somewhat, though they were red and swollen when she opened them. "Jingshu, she..."
Before she could finish, Shen Qingqing suddenly blocked her, her brow furrowed with a hint of pain. "Master Fu, Miss Shen must have misunderstood something. She threw coffee at me without a word. Look, she burned my hand."
She raised her wrist, revealing two red marks on her fair skin, the traces of coffee splashes.
Yet, these two small spots would likely heal on their own if given a little more time. Shen Yaoyao, however, was in a worse state. Everyone felt that Master Fu would surely favor Shen Yaoyao.
Her face was red and swollen, her eyes somewhat bloodshot, and tears flowed down her cheeks, making her appear pitiable.
Fu Jingshu glanced at her wrist. Her skin was fair and delicate, making the two small red marks look quite shocking. He slowly raised his hand, and everyone held their breath.
Could he possibly be about to throw Shen Qingqing out?!
Shen Yaoyao was even more triumphant, just waiting to see her be kicked out and become the subject of ridicule.
However, to everyone's surprise, that large hand slowly reached out and cupped the smaller, soft hand. His palm closed slightly, instantly enveloping her hand.
The soft touch sent a ripple through his heart.
He slowly brought her hand to his lips and gently blew on her wound.
This action stunned everyone.
Was this still the cold, iron-blooded Master Fu who showed no interest in women?!
Shen Yaoyao watched as the treatment she dreamed of was so easily given to that bitch. Her fingernails dug into her palm.
Was this man crazy?
Shen Qingqing was shocked, but when she met his gaze, she saw that his eyes were deep and cold, devoid of any tenderness. She immediately understood that he was putting on a show for Shen Yaoyao.
She immediately adopted a dramatic persona, her voice softening, "You must help me!"
She was beautiful, and although this demeanor was an act, there was no trace of performance. Instead, she resembled a seductive concubine who could bring down a nation. The man's bones felt as though they were melting.
The men in the crowd stared, wide-eyed.
Fu Jingshu felt an inexplicable annoyance. He held the back of her head, pressing her face into his chest, and looked coldly at Shen Yaoyao, "Who gave you permission to run wild in my company?"
Shen Yaoyao hurriedly explained, "Jingshu, it really wasn't my fault this time. She deliberately framed me."
Although Fu Jingshu was holding Shen Qingqing, in Shen Yaoyao's eyes, Shen Qingqing was actively seducing him.
How could she, how could she be held by Fu Jingshu?!
Shen Yaoyao reached out to pull Shen Qingqing out, but before she could touch her, Fu Jingshu's cold, slightly warning gaze froze her in place. Her heart ached terribly.
"Jingshu..."
"You can leave on your own, or I'll have security escort you out."
Fu Jingshu offered two choices, but there was really no choice. Shen Yaoyao bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes, "Jingshu, I am Chenchen's biological mother, and I have been by your side for many years. You are driving me away repeatedly for this woman. You are too heartless."
She looked so pitiful and lovable, trying to elicit some tenderness from Fu Jingshu.
Unfortunately, Fu Jingshu's heart was as cold as ice. "Assistant, call security."
