Chapter 167: Chapter 141 The Fu Family’s Seed, The Innate ‘Wife Slave’ Trait

Ji Sang knew that continuing the conversation would be unfavorable for her, so she cleverly stopped talking. When she was almost home, she received a call from Lu Ming.

The content was just some caring words, after all, such a difficult task, Ji Sang could completely refuse it.

Lu Ming had no choice but to arrange her for this task.

At the end of the call, Lu Ming suddenly mentioned

“Do you know Shawen Kindergarten has reopened?”

Ji Sang’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

“I didn’t know, when did that happen?”

“A couple of days ago.”

A couple of days ago…

It has been only two months since the kindergarten was exposed for food safety issues, which had caused quite a stir in S city at the time, and the food safety department also went there to inspect.

Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be able to reopen so quickly.

Apparently, Lu Ming also found the situation strange, which is why he mentioned it to Ji Sang.

“Song Xiu and Wang Ting both returned from their leave today, and I plan to have them work on this matter.”

“Song Xiu? Isn’t he into planning?”

When she first came to the TV station, Song Xiu was in the planning group. This kind of matter should not be assigned to a behind-the-scenes person to follow up.

“That guy has long been dissatisfied with the director assigning him to the planning group. This time he’s back, he proposed himself to switch to being a news reporter.”

Ji Sang: ….

“Is it that easy to switch just because he wants to?”

Although Song Xiu’s abilities were indeed good and he was quick-thinking, doesn’t being a news reporter require a high level of professionalism?

“Song Xiu took courses in media, his professional quality is not bad.”

Suddenly, Lu Ming ‘tsked.’

“I guess I never told you, that kid’s uncle is the station manager.”

Ji Sang: ….

Indeed, no one had told her.

Now she understood, it must be that Song Xiu and his family requested the switch to a news reporter.

As for what they used as a bargaining chip, she was unclear.

“Are you trying to matchmake him and Wang Ting?”

Wang Ting was previously, aside from Ji Sang, the only other photographer in the TV station who was well-taken care of, and she wasn’t typically assigned to go out for such tasks.

Now that Song Xiu switched, she’s also tagged along?

“That’s not me matchmaking.”

Lu Ming stopped there, not continuing to explain.

“You just stay at home and rest well during this time.”

It was only after Song Xiu came back that he learned of Ji Sang’s mother’s passing away. No wonder Ji Sang disappeared so abruptly during that time and couldn’t be contacted by any means.

She accepted the business trip to Hong County without any hesitation once she returned.

She… probably wanted to take her mind off things.

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming just turned around and saw Song Xiu and Wang Ting standing at the entrance of the office.

“…”

“What are you doing here?”

Lu Ming raised his eyebrow at them.

“Cough cough, is Sister Ji back from Hong County?”

The Ji Family is a prominent family in S city and has some interactions with the B city circle. Both the Song Family and the Wang Family can usually catch the whispers within the circle.

After learning about this matter, Song Xiu and Wang Ting both chose to come back.

Lu Ming sat back down on the couch, casually resting his right leg over his left. Seeing the concern they could not hide in their eyes, Lu Ming tsked.

“If you’re worried, go find her yourself. Ask her out; she won’t be coming to the TV station these days.”

“Why?”

“Rest.”

With just two words, “Rest,” Lu Ming was ready to hurry them out.

They are all adults, yet they’re hesitating to meet someone.

…

The first thing Fu Yisi did when he got home was to put away Ji Sang’s SLR camera, placing it in the room specially prepared for her lenses, locking the door in front of Ji Sang.

Under the light of the hallway, the key in the palm of Fu Yisi’s hand seemed quite eye-catching.

Then…

The man casually tossed the key out of the window, and it fell into the swimming pool in the backyard.

Ji Sang: ….

She had already promised not to touch it for a month, and she would keep her word. There was no need for Fu Yisi… to be so absolute about it.

Fu Yisi lowered his eyes, watching Ji Sang’s reaction, and chuckled softly,

“It’s not that I don’t trust you.”

Ji Sang: …

“Why did you throw the key away then?”

“Oh, I was just worried you wouldn’t be able to resist coming to me and acting coquettishly.”

He didn’t trust himself very much.

Fu Yisi actually also didn’t understand why Ji Sang had such a big influence on him.

Perhaps it was just in the Fu Family’s nature, to be inherently ‘wife slaves.’

Ji Sang hadn’t expected such a response from Fu Yisi.

Blushing slightly,

“Who’s going to act coquettishly?”

Fu Yisi crossed his arms over his chest, leaning against the wall, watching Ji Sang on the verge of exploding on the spot, when he suddenly burst out laughing.

Ji Sang: ???????

“What are you laughing about?”

The man reached out and pulled Ji Sang into his embrace, patting her back sporadically,

“Nothing.”

It’s just that he hadn’t seen such a side of Ji Sang in too long.

Ever since learning about Yang Jun’s illness until his passing, Ji Sang seemed to have lost her soul.

She became overly cautious, living mechanically.

Without any vitality.

Now, he was happy to see vivid expressions on her face, to see the light in her eyes.

Even though she thought Fu Yisi was being somewhat inexplicable, Ji Sang still calmly stayed in his embrace. This silent hug.

She had longed for it for too long.

During that month in the small town, Ji Sang seemed indifferent as she accompanied Yang Jun, but during those late nights, what kept her going was just one sentence:

“Ah Sang, can you not make Mom worry, please?”

Ji Sang was too tired.

So after Yang Jun died, she kept on sleeping, avoiding the painful reality.

At this moment, quietly staying in Fu Yisi’s arms, smelling his distinctive scent, Ji Sang’s nerves, which had been tense for over a month,

Relaxed completely at this moment.

….

The issue with the dam at the Hong County Reservoir was of great concern to both the government and the public. The audio from the interviews conducted in a small restaurant in Hong County was also featured on the news.

As one of the leading enterprises in S city, the Yi Family naturally attracted a lot of attention.

This time, regarding the issue of substandard construction materials, a clear explanation was expected.

And for Yi Feng, who had recently joined the management team, this public relations incident was another opportunity to gain the recognition of the board of directors.

Yi Feng handled it very decisively, admitting that the company indeed had shortcomings in the past.

However, these shortcomings were attributed to not choosing the right middle management personnel.

Indirectly, he shifted all the key responsibilities onto the management personnel who had already fled.

When Ji Sang was watching the news, Fu Yisi happened to be next to her. After listening, the man raised an eyebrow,

“He’s a promising young man.”

Ji Sang didn’t understand much about business matters, but hearing Fu Yisi praise Yi Feng was quite surprising to her.

After all, she had merely ridden in Yi Feng’s car once, and this man had been consumed with a great deal of jealousy.

Fu Yisi, as if knowing what she was thinking, raised his hand and gently scratched her nose,

“Do I look like someone who is that small-minded?”
