In the era of fetal wear, she became the first socialite in Hong Kong

Chapter 441 The young lady is back in Hong Kong and has to get busy with work.

"Miss."

Fu Ziyan leaned back on the deck chair by the koi pond, slowly scattering some fish food into the water. A serene smile graced her face as she turned to look at Mu Mu: "Hmm?"

The rising intonation at the end of the note was strangely captivating.

Mu Mu collected the jumbled thoughts that had suddenly popped into her mind and said respectfully, "The car is ready."

Fu Ziyan nodded slightly, put down the glass bowl containing fish food, and stood up.

One servant came forward carrying a gilded basin, and the other presented a hot towel. Fu Ziyan washed her hands and strode out of the small garden.

In front of the main building, bodyguards stood ramrod straight beside the car.

The car door opened and closed.

When she opened the car door again, in addition to bodyguards, security guards from the Yuanxi headquarters building surrounded Fu Ziyan as she exited.

"Hello, Mr. Fu."

"Good afternoon, Miss."

"..."

Amidst a continuous stream of greetings, Fu Ziyan walked through the first-floor lobby and took the elevator directly to the top-floor board office.

Zhang Xiafei, who had been notified by the front desk on the first floor, was already waiting by the elevator. As soon as the elevator doors opened, she stepped forward to greet them and reported, "Miss, Mr. Quentin and the senior executives are already waiting in the conference room."

"Bring me a cup of coffee." Fu Ziyan took the documents from Zhang Xiafei and flipped through them as she walked.

"Yes."

Without Zhang Xiafei's arrangement, the personal secretary of the board office at Yuanxi Hotel headquarters had already efficiently gone to prepare, as the boss likes to add sugar and milk to his coffee.

The electronic door lock system for guest rooms developed in cooperation with Philips has actually been verified by multiple departments to confirm its actual usability. The Western European General Manager's report to headquarters was purely a formality, as well as a way to make his presence known to Fu Ziyan and get a bonus.

The conference room was full of executives. When Fu Ziyan entered, Quentin was sitting in the speaker's seat, turning his head to whisper something to the executive in the next seat. When he looked up, he met Fu Ziyan's gaze.

Quentin paused for a moment, then smiled at his "old boss".

Fu Ziyan nodded calmly, signaling the meeting moderator to begin the meeting.

After a brief introduction by the host, Quentin stood in the speaker's position and began explaining the magnetic card door lock system to the projected content on the screen: "Each door card has a unique code, which effectively prevents duplication and makes it far more secure than traditional mechanical locks, and at the same time..."

“The Philips project team helped us integrate the door lock system with the hotel’s front desk room management process, so that the door card is activated when the guest checks in and immediately becomes invalid after check-out.”

They also reported on the results of the trial operation of the electronic door locks for guest rooms in actual stores.

Fu Ziyan sat upright in the main seat, reviewing the documents based on Quentin's report, and was quite satisfied with his report.

After the Q&A session with the senior executives and Quentin, Fu Ziyan summarized: "Very good. The entire team responsible for the project will receive triple bonuses this quarter and a week of paid vacation."

She shifted her gaze from Quentin's face back to the senior executives in the conference room, and calmly instructed: "Headquarters will be responsible for developing a promotion plan. After a week's holiday, team members will be sent to various stores to provide guidance. By the end of this year, I want to see all of our Yuanxi Hotel stores have replaced their door lock systems."

"Yes."

After the meeting, Quentin went to Fu Ziyan's office to report on his work over the past few months.

After all, he was her former subordinate who had managed the Western European region for three years. Compared to the management of other regions, Quentin was more familiar with his boss, Fu Ziyan, and they could even exchange a few jokes after the report was completed.

"After the new door lock system was installed, the hotel has a much more high-tech feel. I wonder if you will be surprised when you come to inspect it next month."

Fu Ziyan chuckled: "That sounds very exciting."

She did not deny that she would be visiting Europe next month. There is a wedding of the British Crown Prince on the 29th of next month, and Fu Ziyan was naturally invited to attend.

After exchanging a few words and completing his plan to make his presence known to the young lady, Quentin got up and left.

Not long after, Mu Mu knocked on the door and came in, asking, "Miss, there was a call from Shek O asking if you're going over for dinner?"

Fu Ziyan put down her pen, glanced at her watch, and stood up: "Let's go now. Tell the driver to go."

"Yes."

Because Fu Qiyuan was away on a business trip, Fu Ziyan did not go to Shek O with her father this time.

*

Fu Residence in Shek O.

Fu Mingzhang was sitting in the living room reading a book when the butler, Fu Zhonggang, returned after seeing off Mr. Lu.

Fu Mingzhang glanced at him. "Sent them away?"

Fu Zhong smiled and said, "Yes."

Fu Mingzhang gave a soft hum and said nothing more.

Although they had been friends for many years, how could he not understand the meaning behind Lu Tingwei's words? He just felt that Titi and Lu Yan were childhood sweethearts and their families had a good relationship, so it was a pity that they broke up back then. He wanted to sound him out to see if there was any chance for them to become a couple.

Fu Mingzhang pretended not to understand and only pulled Lu Tingwei to play chess with him.

Back then, Titi and Lu Yan were already dating, but they still broke up in the end. This shows that Titi has her own ideas, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for his granddaughter. Besides, his granddaughter is only twenty-five years old; she's clearly still a child who hasn't had enough fun. Why would she get married?!

The most important thing is that the child is happy!

This was not something Fu Zhong could interrupt, so he smiled and changed the subject: "Miss called back and said she's coming over soon."

Fu Mingzhang's expression visibly softened with a smile as he instructed Fu Zhong, "Have the kitchen prepare all of Titi's favorite snacks and milk tea."

"Everything was prepared a long time ago. Knowing that the young lady was coming back today, the kitchen had been preparing all afternoon."

Fu Ziyan is coming back, who dares to neglect her?

The master and servant chatted for a short while when the sound of wheels rubbing came from outside, followed by a series of greetings from bodyguards and servants. Within two minutes, Fu Ziyan came into Fu Mingzhang's view.

"Grandpa, I'm home!"

Fu Zhong and his servants quietly withdrew.

Fu Mingzhang's eyes crinkled with laughter: "Was the trip smooth?"

Fu Ziyan sat down next to Fu Mingzhang with a smile, sharing her daily life in a light voice, just like when she used to come back from long trips and take out photos to share with her grandfather.

"Shenzhen is changing so fast... I spent a few days in the capital, and when I passed through Shenzhen on my way back, that building had grown two stories taller."

“Xiao Song will be starting elementary school in two months. My aunt asked me to bring him a schoolbag as a back-to-school gift. He was so happy carrying the schoolbag. I was sitting at Heng Ge’s house for a while, and Xiao Song swung around in front of me with the schoolbag on his back about five or six times.”

"There are now private restaurants in the capital. Although they are small, they have real skills. And this is where my uncle took me to eat."

Fu Mingzhang listened with a smile as Fu Ziyan shared her daily life. When he heard this part, his eyes showed a complex emotion. He sighed with a smile, "Titi likes this restaurant, so we'll go try it again next time. If there are any dishes she likes, we'll tell the chef at home and ask them to try to recreate them."

"Okay~" Seeing the slight fluctuation in her grandfather's emotions, Fu Ziyan changed the subject, "Xiao Zi plans to stay at Tsinghua University to teach, so there might be some commotion at Uncle Wu's house these days."

Actually, the most vehement opponent was probably Xiaozhi's mother. Given Uncle Wu's personality, he probably wouldn't stop her after confirming Xiaozhi's feelings.

Fu Mingzhang regained his composure, nodded, and said, "Teaching in the mainland is not bad either. As long as she is willing, she won't suffer much if she goes there with money."

Foreign exchange certificates are not subject to purchase limits for daily necessities like those for local residents.

Fu Mingzhang has always been laissez-faire when it comes to his children and grandchildren's future choices. With the family fortune to back them up, as long as they don't go astray, he won't interfere in their life choices. The only exception was when Fu Zimou and He Simian were dating; he strongly opposed it back then, but later relented.

Fu Mingzhang: With Yunzhi and Titi around, no matter how much Fu Zimou acts, it won't affect the future of the Fu family. Who cares who you marry or who you love!

The chef in Shek O was brought from Shanghai by the Fu family. He had been a chef for decades, so his skills were naturally excellent. Moreover, Fu Mingzhang had specially asked the chef to make her favorite dishes. After enjoying a pleasant dinner, Fu Ziyan accompanied her grandfather for a walk to digest his food, played chess, and chatted about interesting things.

The next morning, after breakfast, Fu Ziyan took a car to the Yuanxi headquarters building. She had been in mainland China for a few days and had accumulated a lot of work to deal with.

The most important aspect is the categorization and integration of hotel brands.

Knowing the young lady's purpose, Zhang Xiafei quickly organized the documents that the brand integration project team had been submitting recently, and knocked on the door with a stack of documents in her arms.

Fu Ziyan's gaze lingered on the documents on the table, and she said calmly, "Come in."

"Miss, these are the documents recently submitted by the project team." There were quite a few documents, and Zhang Xiafei put them down with a dull thud.

Fu Ziyan didn't pay attention. She wrote "OK" on the document with her custom-made fountain pen, the strokes sharp. She closed the document and placed it on the stack of documents she had processed. She looked up and instructed her: "Notify the brand integration project team to have a meeting this afternoon."

"Yes." Zhang Xiafei took the stack of documents that the young lady had approved and silently left the office.

After finishing reviewing all the documents on her desk, Fu Ziyan leaned back and rubbed her temples. The documents weren't difficult to process, but looking at so many at once had overloaded her CPU.

Fu Ziyan got up and walked to the window.

Located in Central, the Yuen Hei headquarters building offers her office a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view. Looking up, one sees the bustling Victoria Harbour, the countless skyscrapers and crowds, and the lush greenery of The Peak. For her, it's the perfect place to refresh her eyes and clear her mind after long periods of working on documents.

dong dong——

After she said "Come in," Mu Mu pushed open the door and entered, speaking respectfully, "Miss, it's lunchtime."

As Fu Ziyan's personal assistant, one of Mu Mu's tasks was to remind the young lady to eat when she was busy with work. This was something that Assistant Guan had specifically instructed her to do when she first became the young lady's personal assistant.

Fu Ziyan turned to look at Mu Mu, and when she noticed the wooden monkey carved by Ming Qiao on the antique shelf out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly remembered that she still had a boyfriend.

"Is Mingqiao at work today?"

Mu Mu quickly recalled Ming Qiao's schedule for the week. "Ming Sir has a workday today. I'll call him now to ask if he'd like to have dinner with you."

Fu Ziyan nodded: "Go ahead."

Half an hour later, Mingqiao, dressed in a police uniform, followed Mu Mu into the chairman's private elevator, which went straight to the top floor, leaving behind whispers and gossip that quickly spread throughout the lobby and staff canteen.

"That's a police officer, isn't it? He was following Assistant Mu and even got into Boss Fu's elevator. Isn't that...?"

"Young Miss has excellent taste; this man is very handsome."

"He's really lucky to have won the young lady's favor."

"That's right. If one is lucky enough to become a son-in-law of a dragon, it's definitely a rapid leap in social class."

"You're overthinking it. To get to that point, you'll definitely have to get past Fu Sheng. Miss is Fu Sheng's only child, so the standards for becoming a member of the Fu family must be very high. I doubt this officer's chances."

"It's rare to be a rich girl's boyfriend for a while. Look at how many people in Hong Kong want this opportunity but can't even get a chance. Putting everything else aside, just thinking about the breakup fee makes me drool with envy." What's more, the rich girl can offer more than just a breakup fee. With the Fu family's status and power, this officer's path to promotion will definitely be smooth sailing.

Isn't what people strive for in this life all about getting promoted and making money? Having a romance with a rich girl, you get both!

In the staff canteen, everyone chatted cautiously yet lively, no one daring to cause trouble in front of the person in question, let alone let the young lady hear a single word.

Fu Ziyan, who was having lunch in the rooftop office break area, was also in a good mood. After reading documents all morning, her police officer boyfriend came to have lunch with her, which was a better way to change her mood than looking out the window.

After finishing their meal, Mingqiao returned to the police station to work, and Fu Ziyan also refocused her attention on her work.

She had to review the entire stack of documents before the afternoon meeting.
