Chapter 384: Chapter 385 Liusu’s Decision

People often say that the only way to get to know a person is to spend time with that person. This is so true.

After spending two days with Shu Tong’s parents, I discovered that the quiet and honest Father Shu actually knew how to hide his feelings much better than the talkative Mother Shu.

He treated me the same as yesterday, not as enthusiastic, but always maintained the gentleness and politeness of an elder. On the contrary, Mother Shu’s smile became a little stiff. She was a simple-hearted person. So it was understandable that she would be worried after she began to suspect my relationship with Liusu.

Pretending that I did not see it, I took out the fruits I bought and washed them.

“Xiao Chu, why didn’t you come with Liusu?”

I had already guessed that Mother Shu would ask this question. I smiled and said, “Oh, I have some other things to do today, so I didn’t go to the company. But I just called Liusu and asked her to pick up Tong Tong after she finished work. She will come here with her.”

“Oh…” Mother Shu replied vaguely. Because of my frank and open attitude when mentioning Liusu, she began to doubt her guesses. Actually, I was not the one who should feel guilty, nor was it Liusu. The one that should be feeling guilty was Shu Tong. Thinking that it was her idea to deceive her grandma, but she still didn’t know that her grandma had cancer, I sympathized with her, but at the same time, I also could not help feeling angry.

Father Shu glared at Mother Shu a little angrily and blamed her for probing me. Actually, I knew that Father Shu felt the same way as Mother Shu, he also hoped that I was not Shu Tong’s fake boyfriend. At least that way, it could alleviate the guilt of deceiving their mom.

Like Long Shan said, when people were desperate, they all liked to fantasize…

Not long after Liusu came into the room, she found an opportunity and called me out of the room. I couldn’t help but sigh secretly. She was really not afraid that Shu Tong’s parents would find out about our real relationship.

She dragged me to the corner of the corridor, gave me the car key of the BMW car, and asked straightforwardly, “Nan Nan, do you know what Mo Fei did?”

The question Liusu asked me was really lame. Not to mention that I didn’t know what she did, even if I knew, knowing that she would easily get jealous, would I tell her? Of course not. So I shook my head.

Liusu believed me. She then asked, “Then do you know why she is looking for Zhu Danchen?”

“I don’t know,” I honestly said, “But I can almost guess it…”

Liusu frowned and asked jealously, “The chairman wants to use this method to keep you in Fengchang, right?”

I knew Liusu was not a dumb woman, but what she said still surprised me. I couldn’t help holding her face, squishing it vigorously, and then put on an exaggerated expression of disbelief, “Oh my, when did you become so smart? Are you still the Liusu I know?”

“Stop it, I am serious,” Liusu said with a blushing face. She was accustomed to teasing me, but she was not used to me teasing her. She grabbed my hands but didn’t push them away. Although feeling embarrassed, she still held my hands gently and said seriously, “I’m not as smart as you, but I’m not that stupid either. The chairman spoke to me today…”

I was taken aback, “He spoke to you? What did you talk about?” There was no way I would not panic. Mo Yizhi was a very scheming old fox, and he had already told me clearly that his goal was to separate Mo Fei from me. So I had to watch out for him using Liusu the way the Third Lady used Ziyuan.

Of course, I also would not deny that to some extent, my panic was due to the unfaithful thing I did last night.

“Don’t worry, he didn’t give me a hard time,” Liusu’s comfort to me made me feel even more ashamed, but she still didn’t hide the fact that she was jealous of my relationship with Mo Fei. “It’s not to ask me to leave Fengchang to make room for you and his baby Fei’er, but to promote me.”

“Promote you?” I was puzzled, “But isn’t the assistant to the general manager the only job vacancy in the investment department, And that is already taken by Ziyuan… Does he want to transfer you to another department?” ‘Damn Mo Yizhi, this old fox, does he want to separate me from Liusu?!’

Liusu vaguely said, “Not exactly…”

I was confused, “What do you mean not exactly?”

Realizing that she didn’t explain it clearly, Liusu quickly explained, “He is going to set up a new team, a team for “Project Thirteen Cities”. He wants me to be the team leader’s assistant. I don’t know if this team is considered a department or not.”

“Project Thirteen Cities? What is this? Why have I never heard of…”

“Not just you, even Mo Fei also never heard of it. The chairman said that this team will be specifically responsible for negotiating cooperation plans with the Third Lady’s company. The so-called Project Thirteen Cities means that the project will cover thirteen cities. It is the specific cooperation model proposed by Fengchang Group.

“Fengchang Group will make basic adjustments to brand companies that have established a complete sales system and absolute influence in 13 major cities, so as to become the market sales guarantee for joint venture products. He said that this is Fengchang’s trump card in winning the partnership with the Third Lady,” Liusu said solemnly, “The general manager of this project is Mo Fei, and the team leader is you…”

“I am the team leader?” I was startled, “Wait, you mean, Mo Yizhi asked you to be my assistant? ”

Liusu nodded, “But the premise is that you have to stay in Fengchang and take charge of the project. Then my salary can be doubled three to five times, which sounds very tempting…”

I tried to calm myself so that I could think more rationally, “So what’s your decision?”

“Me? Of course, I’m very tempted by it, but…” Liusu avoided my gaze and whispered hesitantly, “Whether to accept it or not, I will listen to you. I know what the chairman is thinking. He just wants to sell you a favor, so he can keep you in Fengchang. If you don’t want me to accept it, then no matter how attractive it is, I will not accept it.”

He was not trying to sell me a favor, he had other plans! After all, he and the Third Lady had already successfully forced me to stay in Fengchang using Ziyuan. I gnashed my teeth secretly. He was truly an old scheming fox. Ziyuan was Mo Fei’s assistant and Liusu would be my assistant. And then because of work, we would need to spend a lot of time together. So anyone could imagine how our relationship would develop.

Liusu was my girlfriend, and I had made a promise to her. Ziyuan was my childhood sweetheart and we already had sex. If we spent a long time together, there was no doubt that they would get into some kind of argument one day. This was what Mo Yizhi wanted. He wanted to use both Liusu and Ziyuan to make Mo Fei understand what kind of person I truly was.

I sighed weakly, “Do you want me to refuse or accept it?”

“Of course… accept it,” Liusu’s answer surprised me. Seeing me looking at her, she hurriedly explained, “It’s not about the salary, but… Once the cooperation with the Third Lady’s company is reached, as the main person in charge, your status in Fengchang will be increased to an unprecedented level. It would really be a shame to miss such an opportunity.

“I didn’t want you to stay in Fengchang at first because of Mo Fei. Later, I didn’t want you to stay in Fengchang because I didn’t know what the Third Lady had in mind, and what she wanted to do to you. But now, the chairman promised me that Ziyuan is not the Third Lady, and the Third Lady is not a bad person, so I changed my mind. I admit that I am still jealous, but I don’t want my jealousy to ruin your future…”

My eyes almost teared up when hearing this from Liusu. For me, Liusu was willing to give up many things.

I held Liusu’s hand, gently rubbed it on my cheek, and said softly, “Liusu, whether you love me or hate me in the future, I will always be good to you…”

Even if she decided to leave me, I would still protect her from the place she couldn’t see.

“Who loves you? So cringy.” Liusu gave an exaggerated shiver but started to caress my cheek…

While enjoying Liusu’s caress, I suddenly remember one thing and said, “By the way, there is something, I think I should tell you.”
