anced at the restaurant's sign, then told him the address.He hummed and hung up the phone.He never said what he was calling for the whole time.Fu Xiaoyao looked at the dark phone screen and let out a..."An abortion" Fu Xiaoyao's mouth twitched helplessly, "Linlin, your imagination is running wild. I haven't even had time to think about getting pregnant, let alone an abortion!"
"If it's not an abortion, then what the..."
"Alright, let's not talk about that. What brings you up here Aren't you afraid your manager will catch you" Fu Xiaoyao was worried Yu Lin would say something else shocking, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Our manager is out, so he can't get me in trouble." Yu Lin held a cup of water and looked extremely smug. "I just heard you were back, so I came up to see you, by the way, there's something I want to tell you!"
"What's up" Fu Xiaoyao asked while turning on her computer.
Of course it's a team-building event.
"Team building" Fu Xiaoyao was taken aback.
Yulin looked at her slantingly, "You wouldn't forget, would you"
Fu Xiaoyao let out two dry laughs.
"Oh my gosh!" Yu Lin patted the table. "Xiao Yao, you're amazing! You actually forgot our company's annual team-building day."
"There have been so many things happening to me lately, how could I possibly remember them all Plus, I'm not really interested in team building activities. It's probably just another karaoke outing, nothing new." Fu Xiaoyao said with little enthusiasm.
Yulin waved her fingers and smiled mysteriously, "No no no, this time is different. Ever since our company was acquired by Lu Zong and became a subsidiary of Lu's Group, we've become incredibly wealthy. Lu Zong specifically allocated a large sum for the company team building."
"Really Who told you that" Fu Xiaoyao looked at her suspiciously.
As Lu Hanchuan's secretary, she wouldn't even know about this sort of thing.
"Of course it's our manager! I overheard him talking to Mr. Lu on the phone, but that's not the most important part. The important thing is that we're going abroad for this team building!" Yulin said excitedly, rubbing her hands together.
Fu Xiaoyao was skeptical. "Hundreds of people in the company, how much would it cost for everyone to go abroad!"
“So I didn’t say that everyone went abroad, only a part of the team building trip was overseas. It was mainly composed of company executives and a group of high-performing employees. Luckily, I was selected!” Yulin shook her chest badge, looking smug and arrogant.
Fu Xiaoyao shook her head with a smile and then asked with concern, “Where are you going”
As Lu Hanchuan's personal secretary, she naturally had to go with him too.
But she hasn't been abroad yet, even though she's this old. She has to do her research before she goes, so as not to embarrass herself.
"I don't know about that, the specific notice hasn't been released yet. It's just that I heard it's going skiing. By the way, Xiaoyao, can you ski" Yu Lin glanced at Fu Xiaoyao up and down.
Fu Xiaoyao quickly waved her hand.
Yu Lin nodded seriously, "I guess so too. Looking at you like this, you wouldn't be good at skiing either."
"It's fine if I don't know how to ski, I can just watch from the side," Fu Xiaoyao said with a shrug.
"Just looking isn't interesting enough, we have to do something."
"Forget it, this kind of extreme sport might not be suitable for me. Alright, you'd better go back quickly. I have to work." Fu Xiaoyao pulled Yulin up from the chair and pushed her towards the door.
Yu Lin still wanted to stay for a while longer, but when she glanced at the time, she estimated that the manager would be back soon. She had no choice but to leave reluctantly.
As soon as she left, the office was suddenly much quieter.
Fu Xiaoyao let out a soft breath, returned to her desk and sat down, whispering, "Skiing... Hanchuan should be good at it, right"
She immediately rushed to the computer and started searching for information about skiing.
Ten minutes later, Fu Xiaoyao slumped over the table, her face etched with despair.
She originally wanted to look up some information and see if she could learn how to ski, but after reading a bit, she realized that even just looking at the written instructions was complicated. She imagined how much harder it would be to actually do it.
This kind of project is definitely not something someone with no athletic ability like her should participate in.
She'd better stay as an observer. If Lu Hanchuan goes skiing, she can secretly film him skiing – he must look so cool!
Thinking about it, Fu Xiaoyao opened a shopping website and carefully selected a camera, buying it despite the cost.
Before she could even feel the pinch in her card balance, the phone lying beside her buzzed to life.
Fu Xiaoyao picked it up and glanced at it. The first thought that came to her mind was to refuse to listen.
At the thought of the consequences of refusing, she sighed and her finger swept across the green answer button.
"Zixuan."
"Sis!" A somewhat rough male voice came from the phone, sounding urgent.
Fu Xiaoyao rubbed her temples, "Is there something you need"
Could she be here to ask for money
"I'm broke, send me some money!" Fu Zixuan commanded.
Fu Xiaoyao thought to herself, "As expected," and at the same time, a chill ran through her.
Her relatives never looked for her in their daily lives. They only came to her when they needed money and never bothered to ask how she was doing.
Although she was their daughter and sister, they treated her like a walking ATM. If they didn't get what they wanted, they would make a huge fuss.
Sometimes she really feels so tired!
"I'm sorry, Zixuan, I have no money left." Fu Xiaoyao said apologetically.
On the phone, Fu Zixuan was instantly furious, "No money Sister, you wouldn't be playing with me, would you Your brother-in-law is the president of Lu Group, and as the only daughter-in-law of the Lu family, you're telling me you have no money"
"I'm really broke, and you know how distant I am from your brother-in-law. How could I possibly use his money"
"Well, I don't care. You two are married, what do you have to be shy about I clearly see that you just don't want to give it to me." Fu Zixuan persisted.
"If I didn't want to give you anything, I wouldn't have picked up your call." Fu Xiaoyao pursed her lips and asked softly; "Your brother-in-law only gave Mom five hundred thousand last time, and you're already out of money so soon"
"Five million isn't enough at all, it's gone in the blink of an eye. My brother-in-law has hundreds of billions of dollars and only gave us five million, that's so stingy! It's gone after just a few purchases, I don't know why he didn't give more!" Fu Zixuan complained.
Fu Xiaoyao was so angry that her stomach ached when she heard his words.
She pressed her stomach, her voice rising, "Fu Zixuan, five million isn't enough for you, how much more do you want Your brother-in-law has hundreds of billions, that's all his own, it has nothing to do with me, and even less to do with you guys, you better not covet it, and besides, I ask you, where did you spend those five million"
Just a few days and 5 million are gone.
If you give them another five million, at this rate, it probably won't take long.
"I... I'm going to start my own business." Fu Zixuan stammered, his voice clearly hesitant.
Fu Xiaoyao wasn't a fool, she could hear the insinuation clearly. She gave a cold smile and said, "Entrepreneurship Fine, tell me what kind of business you're starting."
"You don't need to worry about that, just give me the money quickly." Fu Zixuan urged impatiently.
Fu Xiaoyao took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. "I have no money!"
"Fu Xiaoyao, are you getting tougher" At hearing her say that again, Fu Zixuan flared up with anger and didn't even call her sister anymore.
Fu Xiaoyao self-deprecatingly closed her eyes, "Zixuan, no matter how angry you are, I still have no money. I gave all my money to Mom last time."
"Hmph, if you don't give it to me, then I'll go ask my brother-in-law for it." Fu Zixuan threatened.
"Go ahead!" Fu Xiaoyao said flatly, "You know your brother-in-law doesn't like me. If you want your brother-in-law and I to divorce, then go."
"Divorce" Fu Zixuan was taken aback, his arrogance instantly subdued. "Sister, it's not that serious, is it"ey came from me. Without my permission, she can’t give it to anyone else. However, you two parents are incredibly shameless. You suck your daughter's blood so naturally.” Lu Hanchuan scanned their fac...
