Chapter 233: Too Ridiculous

There is no powerful businessman in Beijing who does not know Guan Li.

To put it bluntly, many times if you can't even pass Guan Li's test, it will be even more difficult to catch the eyes of the person behind him.

In Fu Chi's impression, this man who always had a decent smile on his face and seemed very harmless was actually a very cunning man who could even make those old foxes who had been in the officialdom for many years run around in circles with just a few words.

It's easy to imagine that if Guan Li didn't have some ruthless skills, she wouldn't have the qualifications to stay with that person for so many years.

After all, Hengdong is an enterprise standing at the front of the pyramid in Beijing. It is impossible that the Fu family has never dealt with Guan Li, but the boundary between officials and businessmen has always been clear, and they are nothing more than nodding acquaintances.

At least that's what it seems on the surface.

Fu Chi had only been in charge of Hengdong's affairs for less than two months. To put it bluntly, he was no different from those idle second-generation businessmen. Of course, he was not as good as the elders in the family, and he was not familiar with Guan Li.

But what did he hear just now?

Who else could be the gentleman that Guan Li mentioned...

Xie Shiqian can be said to be the man that Fu Chi truly fears from the bottom of his heart. This conspirator who seems to be born to be extremely good at playing power games and controlling people unintentionally has risen rapidly since entering the political arena. In just a few years, he is only one step away from reaching the pinnacle of power.

If you offend such a person, few people can handle it.

At least not now.

Seeing Guan Li nodding to him with a smile after he turned around, Fu Chi's eyes could rarely remain calm.

He couldn't understand when Jiang Wan became involved with Xie Shiqian.

He had someone investigate Jiang Wan's background thoroughly, and it could be said that he had no connection with the Xie family at all.

It's fine that he and Xie Heng had a dispute over the live broadcast, but he also had a dispute with Xie Shiqian...

This was really too absurd. Fu Chi could not imagine that a man like Xie Shiqian would treat a woman differently.

After his thoughts froze for a few seconds, he slowly lowered his eyelashes and remembered something.

Maybe... after Xie Shiqian found out about what happened between Jiang Wan and Xie Heng, he met her alone.

Thinking of this, he pursed his thin lips and looked sideways at Jiang Wan.

It was not until he saw that her expression was very unnatural, as if she was quite fearful, that his throat rolled slightly and his brows, which had been unconsciously furrowed, unconsciously relaxed.

Judging from Jiang Wan’s reaction, it was probably what he thought.

What he didn't know was that his guess was actually somewhat close to the truth - if there hadn't been those unclear entanglements between Jiang Wan and the man.

When Jiang Wan heard Guan Li's voice, he was actually a little slow to react.

What happened with Xie Shiqian that night is still vivid in her mind, and she also remembers clearly what the other party said.

Having gone through so many things, plus the 5% change in her affection value after she went back that night, she could of course sense that Xie Shiqian had some feelings for her.

But from what the man said when she got off the car, we knew that in the eyes of such a powerful person, this little thought was insignificant and not worth mentioning.

Perhaps the man also sensed her tentative intention, so he gave her that warning in the end.

Knowing when to stop is not only for Xie Heng, but also for him.

Her thoughts were really just like showing off in front of him.

But she didn't understand why Guan Li would confront her.

Everything Guan Li said and everything he did undoubtedly represented what he meant.

But no matter what, she has to give the response she deserves.

Thinking of this, she bent her eyes and greeted him, paused, and then followed his words and asked softly: "Is Mr. Xie still here?"

Guan Li's mouth was curved all the time. Hearing this, he said softly, "Sir, please rest in the private room. If Miss Jiang is not in a hurry, I can take you to say hello."

Now that the words have been spoken, how many people in the entire Beijing city dare not say hello, not to mention...

Jiang Wan glanced at Fu Chi, who had a complicated expression on his face. After two seconds of silence, he pursed his lips and smiled faintly: "It should be."

But as soon as he finished speaking, his wrist was grabbed by a big hand.

"Jiang Wan."

She frowned and slowly raised her eyes, and saw Fu Chi looking at her deeply. He said in a deep voice, "Just saying hello. I'll wait for you in the car and take you home."

Now he not only wanted to have a good talk with her, but also because he had no idea what was going on between Jiang Wan and that person.

He hoped that the truth was what he guessed, but no matter what it was, he had to ensure her safety.

But the girl quickly pulled her hand back when he loosened his grip and whispered, "I'd better not bother you, Senior."

"As for what you just said, I can tell you clearly that it is really not necessary."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Fu Chi's answer, whose eyes suddenly dimmed, Jiang Wan followed Guan Li back into the hotel lobby.

She originally wanted to ask Guan Li something before meeting Xie Shiqian, but she didn't expect that the private room where the man was was just a short distance away from the lobby and through the corridor, so in the end she only had time to ask the man whether he came here tonight to keep a date with an old friend, and the other party had just left not long ago.

Guan Li seemed unaware of her intention. He knocked on the door twice and opened it directly. Jiang Wan saw Xie Shiqian before she was mentally prepared at all.

Although they were in the same restaurant, this private room was very different from the one on the second floor where she had originally stayed. Not only was it covered with dark green carpets and had famous paintings hanging on the walls, it also had an independent courtyard.

Outside the mahogany screen, dusk was falling and the sound of rain could be heard, while inside the screen, hot steam was rising and the aroma of tea was filling the air.

The man was leaning back in a wooden chair, walking slowly with a teacup in one hand, and with the other hand holding a cell phone to his ear while he closed his eyes and whispered a few words.

Jiang Wan didn't hear clearly what he said. He just hung up the phone quickly, put the phone on the long table, and glanced at her with a deep look.

The light was dim and the two were still some distance apart, but the moment their eyes met, Jiang Guan still felt as if the air had become thinner.

She curled her fingertips slightly, and suddenly remembered that when she first saw this man on the balcony of Linqi Villa, he seemed to be looking at her with such eyes.

He was apparently gentle and calm, but there was a sense of oppression in his bones, which made people unconsciously tense up. They couldn't help but want to guess what he was thinking, but they didn't dare to look directly at him.

After all, they had those contacts, so Jiang Wan was certainly not as afraid as he was at the beginning.

But some things were completely instinctive and beyond her control.

After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Wan calmed down, pursed his lips, and asked softly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Xie Shiqian's eyes did not move, and his tone was calm: "Guan Li said I have something to talk to you about?"

Jiang Wan denied: "No, I guessed."

After she finished speaking, she looked at him directly, which was rare, and said softly, "If you didn't plan to see me, Secretary Guan wouldn't say hello to me, right?"
