Chapter 676

676 Fu Huai’an’s Magnetic Voice Carried a Smile
Su Manman had just received this piece of news herself. She heard that by tomorrow night at the latest, news of the show being halted would reach Haicheng TV Station.
Regardless of whether it was Fu Qingquan’s doing, Lin Nuan wasn’t surprised.
Fu Tianci’s insults towards Chu Xun were too awful. Furthermore, those words had a far-reaching influence, such that even primary school kids could recite a couple of sentences. The influence was indeed terrible, so it was within reason that the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television would order the show to stop.
If it was Fu Qingquan’s doing, he must have wanted his son to enter the business field and to stop him from pursuing his dreams of becoming a singer, so it made perfect sense.

Previously, I thought that based on how much Granduncle spoiled and doted on Fu Tianci, he would have sponsored the program and made arrangements in the dark for Fu Tianci to be crowned champion!



Su Manman’s mouth twitched as she recalled something that happened a few years back.
But perhaps it’s Granduncle making things difficult for Chu Xun! After all, that talent contest at Haicheng TV Station has rather high ratings!


I think that’s unlikely. Old Master Fu seems reluctant for Fu Tianci to enter showbiz,
Lin Nuan said casually.

How could it be unlikely?
Su Manman lowered her voice as she spoke to Lin Nuan, saying,
A few years ago, when Fu Tianci took part in a competition at school, a young lady who got first place alongside him shoved him and called him a bstard. After that, whenever that young lady took part in a competition, Granduncle would provide sponsorship, specifying that the young lady couldn’t even get into the top 20. Think about how great a blow it dealt that young lady! Even then, Granduncle wasn’t appeased. I heard that the young lady’s parents even lost their jobs in the end…

Su Manman acted all mysterious.
After the video of Chu Xun being insulted was broadcast on TV, Chu Xun called Fu Tianci a bstard in a loud voice at the TV station. Do you think Granduncle can take this lying down?

Lin Nuan listened to this gossip about Chu Xun and merely smiled.
Fu Tianci went overboard with his insults, and it was perfectly normal for one to want to scold Fu Tianci, even if it happened to someone other than Chu Xun.
They pushed open the door to see that inside the dark room, only the wall lamp at the head of the bed was turned on. The blankets on the bed were rolled up into a bundle, and Tuan Tuan was nowhere to be seen.

Has the little one woken up and been taken downstairs by the servants?
Su Manman turned on the main light.
There was no one in the room. Su Manman caught sight of a platter of fruits on the high cabinet and reached for an apple. She casually tossed it into the air and caught it before taking a bite.

Perhaps!
Lin Nuan missed the little one.
I’ll go downstairs to look for him!



Su Manman accompanied Lin Nuan downstairs.
In the living room, the elders were still chatting. Lin Nuan found Housekeeper Ye and told him that Tuan Tuan wasn’t upstairs, then asked if a servant had brought Tuan Tuan downstairs.
Housekeeper Ye smiled and said,
Young Mistress, don’t worry, Tuan Tuan has gone to the backyard with Xinxin and Mingming to play…

The sky had darkened outside, and Lin Nuan was a little worried.
Is anyone following them?


A servant is following them. Don’t worry, Young Mistress!
Housekeeper Ye beamed and said,
The night scenery in the backyard is rather nice. Young Mistress, if you’re keen, you can go take a walk with Miss Manman. Dinner will be ready in 15 minutes.

Lin Nuan nodded. After thanking him, she went with Su Manman to the backyard to look for Tuan Tuan.

The little one is already a big boy now. Don’t tell me you’re afraid he’ll get lost! Or are you afraid that Fu Cheng’s two kids will bully the little one?
Su Manman took a bite of the apple and felt that Lin Nuan was overly anxious. She smiled and asked,
Are all mothers like this?

Just then, they heard the sound of a child screaming, someone falling into the water, and laughter in the near distance…
Lin Nuan felt her heart tighten. Even Su Manman, who was eating her apple, had heard the sounds.
…


In the study, Fu Huai’an had both hands in his pockets. He was standing before Old Madam Fu’s newly purchased oil painting, his demeanor casual and lazy. Yet, he exuded a noble and intimidating aura, like that of a person in a position of power.
Fu Qingquan retrieved a cigar from a desk drawer and took a deep look at Fu Huai’an. Only when he cut off the head of the cigar did he realize that this cigar had probably been left there for a few years.
Fu Huai’an walked towards the sofa and leisurely sat down with both legs crossed, facing him…
Seeing this, Fu Qingquan set down his cigar and sat behind the desk.
Are you really planning on leaving the Kaide Corporation for Jiahe?

Fu Huai’an rested one hand on his knee, rapping against it with his index finger.

Isn’t this joyous news for all parties?
Fu Huai’an took out his cigarette box from his suit pocket and slowly spoke.
He could still remember that when Fu Qingquan had held a board meeting behind his back to call for the termination of the Platinum Living Project, he had hinted at his desire for Fu Huai’an to take his career somewhere else.
Fu Qingquan let out a long sigh.
Huai’an, how about this. Under the condition of ensuring that Tianci obtains the Kaide Corporation’s largest share, I can give you the rest. However, you have to promise me that you’ll never betray Tianci in this lifetime, that you won’t kick Tianci aside after swallowing the Kaide Corporation for yourself!

Fu Huai’an hadn’t expected Fu Qingquan to relent to this step. He laughed in a low voice.
You’re using this little bit of share power to trap me at the Kaide Corporation, wanting me to work for Fu Tianci all my life…

All these years, Fu Huai’an deeply believed that good things didn’t simply fall from the sky. This was especially true with Fu Qingquan.



Even then, you’ll gain a lot, Huai’an. One… must be content with one’s lot and not have too great an ambition!
It was painful enough for Fu Qingquan to make such a decision.
Fu Huai’an lightly laughed and pulled out a cigarette, biting it at the corner of his lips. With one hand shielding the fire, he lit the cigarette…
The fire flickered, outlining Fu Huai’an’s handsome and deep features, especially his lowered eyes—they were so deep that one couldn’t see the bottom.

You’re telling a man in his thirties not to be so ambitious?
Fu Huai’an’s magnetic voice carried a smile, his low and powerful masculine voice terrorizing.

Tianci, that child, has great trust in you, Huai’an…

Looking at how Fu Huai’an remained unmoved, Fu Qingquan decided to appeal to his emotions.
Fu Huai’an tapped the cigarette ash away and said,
I won’t hide it from you. The shares of the Kaide Corporation that I’m holding right now are perhaps the greatest apart from yours!

Fu Qingquan’s face turned pale. As he linked the events of these days together quickly, he suddenly realized something. He pounded the table and rose to his feet.

Fu Huai’an!
Fu Qingquan gritted his teeth.
Come to think of it, Fu Huai’an couldn’t be blamed for this. It was Fu Qingquan who couldn’t hold himself back and decided to deal with Lu Jinnan while Fu Huai’an was on his long vacation. Later, he even arranged for Lu Qingmei’s relatives to take up positions of power, causing the Kaide Corporation to land in a mess.


Fu Qingquan understood now—Fu Huai’an was determined to obtain the Kaide Corporation. Fu Huai’an wouldn’t be content with his lot simply because Fu Qingquan offered him some shares!
Putting himself in Fu Huai’an’s shoes, if Fu Qingquan were in his thirties now, his ambition and desire wouldn’t allow him to be content with simply staying put as the president of a company instead of being the owner.
