Chapter 465: Chapter 465: Nothing More Than a Pawn Played in Her Palm

Qiao Rui was stunned: "Fu Yichen?"

She really hadn’t expected that Fu Yichen would also come to discuss a collaboration, which somewhat surprised Qiao Rui.

Gai Yin also spoke in astonishment: "President Qiao, this Mr. Fu seems to be very close to Qiao Xiang. Could there be some trickery in his coming to discuss a collaboration?"

"Fu Family’s Jinsheng has made some achievements in Qingcheng, and they wouldn’t have today’s success if they didn’t separate public from private affairs." Qiao Rui analyzed rationally: "Besides, we can’t always view people with an old perspective."

"But I always feel that this Mr. Fu doesn’t respect President Qiao much; he has a bias." Gai Yin really didn’t have a good impression of Fu Yichen.

The previous incidents had already been heard long ago.

Qiao Rui laughed, teasingly: "Sister Yin, you already have a prejudice against Huo Sinan. If you have problems with this Mr. Fu as well, can we even collaborate?"

Gai Yin felt embarrassed for a moment; she thought about it before saying: "I just think that Fu Yichen was entirely unreasonable for Qiao Xiang previously. If he acts unreasonably in this collaboration, wouldn’t it be infuriating? As for Huo Sinan, I don’t know why, but I just can’t stand him."

Qiao Rui laughed. "Huo Sinan hasn’t gone too far for now."

"I’m sorry, President Qiao." Gai Yin apologized again. "I won’t be so impulsive in the future and will constantly remind myself to distinguish between public and private affairs."

"Let Fu Yichen come up first." Qiao Rui said, "I’ll see what he wants, feel him out. If there really is a willingness to collaborate, it would be a good thing."

"Yes!" Gai Yin nodded and immediately went out to call the front desk to arrange for Fu Yichen to come up.

At this time, Qiao Rui received a call from Pei Liyan.

He said on the phone: "Fu Yichen came to Pei Family early this morning asking me to mediate. Their family wants to collaborate with the Qiao Family, and I told him to show sincerity by approaching you personally."

"Hmm, got it." Qiao Rui said: "He’s already here, just downstairs, coming up soon."

Now Qiao Rui could be certain he wanted to collaborate.

Because Fu Yichen wanted to talk about a collaboration, he actually went to Pei Family first to ask Pei Liyan to mediate, only to be sent over by Pei Liyan.

It seems the sincerity for this collaboration is there, so there’s no need to worry.

"It wasn’t very quick, this action." Pei Liyan said, "Qiao Rui, Yichen didn’t feel he could face you and was afraid you wouldn’t agree to collaborate, so he came to me."

"Is that so?" Qiao Rui knew in her heart but still asked. "Does he really have the sincerity to collaborate with the Qiao Family?"

"The sincerity should be full, but the cooperative idea might not have been his. It’s likely his father’s idea, and certainly He Zheng’s father contributed." Pei Liyan said.

Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment, "Then I understand."

"What are your thoughts now?"

"Let’s meet Fu Yichen first." Qiao Rui didn’t rush to give an answer. "Everything needs to be discussed before making a decision."

"By the way, Jibai’s sister, Pei Qingxiao, also approached me today, saying she wants to intern at your Qiao Family and is afraid you won’t agree."

"Pei Jibai’s sister?" Qiao Rui was a bit surprised.

"Yes."

"Let’s talk about it later; I’m quite busy now." Qiao Rui checked the time on her watch. "Your good brother, Fu Yichen, should be coming up soon."

"Okay." Pei Liyan didn’t continue to chatter and hung up the phone.

Qiao Rui had just picked up her teacup and taken a sip of water.

Gai Yin came bringing Fu Yichen and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Qiao Rui put down the teacup and looked up just as they walked in.

"President Qiao, Mr. Fu is here." Gai Yin said.

Qiao Rui looked at Fu Yichen and stood up, saying, "Mr. Fu, welcome."

Fu Yichen saw that Qiao Rui was calm and composed, which surprised him as she didn’t immediately throw him out.

He awkwardly smiled and walked in.

"President Qiao, I’m here today to represent our Fu Family’s Jinsheng in discussing a collaboration with the Qiao Family. I hope the Qiao Family and President Qiao will give the Fu Family a chance." Fu Yichen looked at Qiao Rui and said very frankly, "Of course, even more so, give me, Fu Yichen, a chance."

Qiao Rui was momentarily stunned, indeed not expecting the always arrogant Fu Yichen to say such words.

Qiao Rui looked behind him and asked, "Did you come alone?"

Fu Yichen said, "My assistant is waiting outside."

Qiao Rui was startled, suddenly understanding that Fu Yichen cared a lot about face, afraid Qiao Rui wouldn’t respect him, so he let the assistant wait outside.

"Hmm, I understand." Qiao Rui smiled.

Fu Yichen actually blushed, his expression a little unnatural.

"Mr. Fu, please sit." Qiao Rui smiled at him, "Coffee or tea?"

"Coffee, please." Fu Yichen said.

"Okay." Qiao Rui looked at Gai Yin. "Instruct someone to bring coffee in."

"Yes!" Gai Yin quickly left to have coffee brought in.

The room was left with only Qiao Rui and Fu Yichen.

Only then did Fu Yichen speak respectfully, "Sister-in-law, let me first apologize!"

Qiao Rui smiled and didn’t speak further.

Fu Yichen continued: "I apologize for any offense in previous matters, not targeting you, just..."

He couldn’t finish his sentence, feeling awkward.

"Just that you’re deeply in love with my sister and always protective of her." Qiao Rui chimed in: "I can understand that. You’ve become infatuated with my sister, even forgetting your own principles. I guess your love for her is true."

These words made Fu Yichen blush and feel a bit embarrassed, but ultimately, he had to admit and nodded.

"I admit, whenever it concerns Qiao Xiang, I lose my basic judgment."

"Then in collaborating with the Qiao Family, can you separate public from private affairs?" Qiao Rui asked calmly.

Fu Yichen nodded. "Naturally, if we’re collaborating, public and private will be separated."

"What if my sister’s issues get mixed in?" Qiao Rui asked again.

Fu Yichen was taken aback, pressed his lips together. "Honestly, my dad has already severely criticized this matter. I haven’t further involved myself in Qiao Xiang’s family affairs."

It’s disappointment, isn’t it!

It’s a complete disappointment in Qiao Xiang.

Fu Yichen couldn’t express the feeling in his heart, it seemed like there’s nothing more to say about it.

No matter how much effort he puts in, he won’t gain her favor.

He tried to detach himself, tried not to disturb Qiao Xiang.

And he really did achieve it.

Now, he stood by as an outsider, watching everything, watching Qiao Rui handle these matters. As a man, he couldn’t help but admire Qiao Rui’s capabilities.

Challenging the Lin Family, turning the entire situation around single-handedly.

The Qiao Family has now achieved a qualitative leap in a short time.

The entire Qingcheng business circle is watching.

Qiao Rui smiled. "Mr. Fu, then doesn’t this imply that your love for my sister isn’t so pure and steadfast?"

Fu Yichen paused, his gaze lowered, somewhat bleak, and after a long while, he spoke, "Some things can’t be achieved just by trying, even if one tries, there has to be dignity, and I’m not a pawn at someone else’s disposal."
