I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 237

Cheers and applause had erupted from all corners of the hall, so no one noticed Song Jingyu nor heard her threats.

Song Zhenyan dragged Song Jingyu away and the hall eventually calmed down.

Shi Wei walked towards Fu Chengyan with a big smile and reached out her hand. “Mr. Fu, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I promise I won’t take it for granted.”

Fu Chengyan raised an eyebrow then looked at Shi Wei’s outstretched hand. He frowned slightly before shaking her hand. “I’m looking forward to what you have to offer.”

Fu Chengyan only shook hands with Shi Wei for a short while before quickly letting go, but it was enough for some to catch the moment on camera.

Fu Chengyan turned and looked at the audience. “Alright, let’s continue with the programs. What’s the next performance?”

“Mr. Fu, it’s time for the lucky draw!” Mai Qi rushed up to the stage to inform him. “We’ll need Mr. Fu to do the draw.”

Fu Chengyan grinned. “Oh? And what’s the prize?”

“It’s the grandest prize of the year.” Mai Qi indicated for the assistants to carry the lottery box onto the stage. Su Su went up to guide the very excited Shi Wei off the stage. In her excitement, she naturally didn’t notice Fu Chengyan taking out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, or see him tossing the handkerchief to Mai Qi and telling her to get rid of it.

Mai Qi raised an eyebrow and quickly tucked the handkerchief away.

Under the expectant eye of everyone, Fu Chengyan placed his hand into the lottery box. “The lucky number is… 127. A blue tag. Who is number 127?” announced Fu Chengyan while looking at the audience.

Shi Nuan felt the man sitting beside her suddenly stand up and looked over to see Lin Yu holding the lucky blue 127 number tag.

“Congratulations to Mr. Lin from the project management department.” There were hints of laughter in Fu Chengyan’s low register. “Ms. Mai, what’s this super grand prize?”

“It’s a car!” Mai Qi smiled. “Mr. Lin sure is very lucky. Congratulations, Mr. Lin. Please come with me to collect your prize when the annual meeting is over.”

Lin Yu grinned. “Thank you, Mr. Fu.” Lin Yu then sat back down in his seat, as calm as if he weren’t the person who just won a great prize. Other the other hand, Yuan Jia had nearly shouted in joy and was as excited as if she was the one who won. “Mr. Lin. Isn’t it amazing? A car! I heard that it’s a Land Rover! That’s worth at least several million!”

Lin Yu smiled faintly, “I think so.”

“Mr. Lin, why aren’t you happy?”

“I am. Can’t you tell I’m happy?” Mr Lin asked, yet he continued to chat on his phone. Yuan Jia wanted to continue but was stopped by Shi Nuan who discreetly shook her head and whispered, “Shush.”

“Fine.”

The annual meeting was nearing its end and it was time for the last performance which was Bai Qing’s.

Bai Qing had learnt many skills since she was a little girl and this traditional Chinese instrument was one she had played from young. Her state of mind had been affected by the endorsement model incident earlier, but since she was there, it was impossible for her to leave mid-way. She shoved down all the unhappy thoughts before going on stage, finished her performance, then quietly left the stage.

Finally, it was Fu Chengyan’s turn to give a speech, which also indicated the closing of the annual meeting. By the time everything ended, it was already twelve midnight. Most people quickly rushed off and soon there were only a handful of people left in the large hall.

Bai Qing, who was in a bad mood, quickly left with her manager. Shi Wei too left with Guan Jing and Su Su. Though there were a few unpleasant incidents that night, at the end of the day she had nabbed the endorsement deal and that was all that mattered.

In the end, there were only a handful of people scattered around. From the Fu family, there were Fu Sheng, Fu Heng, and Ning Xin. Seeing that most people had left, Fu Sheng approached Fu Chengyan. “Yan, today’s debacle will surely reach your granddad. That Shi Nuan…”

“What about her?” Fu Chengyan played dumb. “Shi Nuan has been doing well, especially in the project management department. Even the normally critical Lin Yu is complimentary of her.”

“You know that’s not what I’m talking about.” Fu Sheng replied sharply. “Did you not see what your mother and Song Jingyu did today? She and Qianan…”

“Father worries too much. I’m not that thoughtless. Shi Nuan is Shi Nuan, Shen Qianan is Shen Qianan, I know the difference. It’s getting late. Father and Uncle should go home soon.”

“Sheng, Yan is correct. He’s in his thirties, not three. He knows how to handle these matters. You don’t need to worry too much about him.”

“You… Forget it. I can’t be bothered with nagging at you anymore. But remember. It doesn’t matter what relationship you have with this Shi Nuan. But now that your mother and Song Jingyu knows of her existence, they surely won’t leave her alone. I can’t guarantee what they will or will not do to this innocent girl.”

Fu Chengyan grinned. “It looks like father is quite worried about me. Don’t worry, father. I know what I’m doing.”
