1007 You’re Going to Announce the News to the Public, Right? (1/2)

He stood with both hands in his pockets, watching the rainy scenery outside the window, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

It was only when Xie Jingqiu entered that Fu Huai'an turned around. His eyes met Xie Jingqiu's, and he walked towards the sofa. ”Tea is brewed. Have a seat…”

Neither said much. It was as if they were old friends!

While they had known each other for a long time, they had spent little time together. However, it could be said that they understood each other because they were the same type of people inherently!

Back when Fu Huai'an was a lawyer, Tang Xi had wanted very much to invite Fu Huai'an to be the Jiahe Corporation's legal consultant. But even then, Xie Jingqiu could tell that Fu Huai'an was no mediocre person and would certainly not take up his offer!

Xie Jingqiu wasn't at all surprised to see that Fu Huai'an had achieved these results.

Xie Jingqiu removed his jacket and casually placed it on the back of the sofa, then sat down across from Fu Huai'an.

”Chu Fangzheng has already contacted Tang Xi…” Xie Jingqiu said.

He watched as Fu Huai'an skillfully poured tea into his teacup, the aroma of tea filling his senses.

”Is President Tang meeting him?” Fu Huai'an smiled.

Xie Jingqiu smiled too. ”Need to at least meet him!”

Xie Jingqiu's assistant Xiao Bai and Fu Huai'an's assistant Little Lu then knocked on the door. The two of them placed the contracts before their respective bosses, then prepared their bosses' pens and seals, before taking their leave.

There was nearly nothing to hesitate about. Xie Jingqiu and Fu Huai'an weren't good friends, but they had at least this much trust in each other. Very quickly, they signed and stamped their seals upon the contracts and exchanged them.

Xie Jingqiu's assistant Xiao Bai knew that Fu Huai'an liked to smoke and only smoked cigarettes of a particular brand, hence he had prepared the cigarettes and placed them at a corner of the coffee table. However, Fu Huai'an didn't touch them.

”Quit smoking?” Xie Jingqiu remembered Fu Huai'an was a very heavy smoker. ”Is your wife pregnant?”

Xie Jingqiu had quit smoking himself when Su Nian got pregnant with Fan Fan.

Fu Huai'an nodded. Perhaps because Xie Jingqiu had mentioned Lin Nuan, there was an added gentleness and smile in his eyes. ”Lin Nuan is worried about my health…”

Xie Jingqiu, who could empathize, nodded. ”How is your brother-in-law's health? I heard from Su Nian that he was hospitalized recently!”

”Recovering very well, thank Su Nian on my behalf!”

Xie Jingqiu nodded. Recalling Jiang Ming'an and Lu Xiangsi's child, he said, ”If it's convenient, bring along your wife and Tuan Tuan next time. I very much hope that Fan Fan can build a friendship with Tuan Tuan!”

Fu Huai'an understood what Xie Jingqiu meant. He neither refused nor agreed, merely lowering his gaze and sipping his tea. He wasn't too fond of letting Tuan Tuan enter the circle of his deceased parents. Fu Huai'an didn't want to let Tuan Tuan grow up amidst the sympathy of others!

Xie Jingqiu and Su Nian were perhaps alright, but what about the others? Xie Jingqiu's childhood friends—when they saw Tuan Tuan, would they recall Jiang Ming'an and Lu Xiangsi, and because of that, look upon Tuan Tuan with sympathy and sadness?
