I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 258

Fu Chengyan smiled and pulled Shi Nuan into his embrace. “I have a plan up my sleeve.”

Shi Nuan raised her eyebrow. “You’re killing me with the suspense!” However, she chose to not push any further.

Shi Nuan knew that Fu Chengyan had considered things from all aspects and everything that was happening was within his predictions.

“You’ll have to compromise and stay here for a while.”

“I understand.” Shi Nuan turned around and wrapped her arms around Fu Chengyan’s waist. “You’ve said that eight hundred times now. I’m tired of hearing it even if you’re not tired of saying it!” Shi Nuan nuzzled her head against Fu Chengyan’s chest and closed her eyes slightly. Fu Chengyan reached out to prop up her head and adjusted her such that she would be in a more comfortable position. “Tired? Do you want to go to bed?”

Shi Nuan shook her head. “Let’s watch TV. This episode is about to end.”

Fu Chengyan was little speechless but he could only follow Shi Nuan’s wishes. Yet, the lady who had claimed she wanted to finish the episode soon fell asleep.

Fu Chengyan gazed at the tilted head and again felt speechless, but he still carried her gently back into the bedroom.

He quickly removed Shi Nuan’s clothes and placed her under the covers, then climbed in and held her until he felt the covers warm up. Then he got back out of bed.

Zhou Zheng had been waiting for Fu Chengyan for some time. Seeing Fu Chengyan’s phone call, he quickly shook himself awake. “Mr. Fu!”

“How did it go?”

“As you had expected, Sir. Jiang Yu has dug up almost everything about the Song family. Other than the skeletons in the closet, Jiang Yu has basically grasped all that she needs to get a hold on.” Zhou Zheng couldn’t help but admire Fu Chengyan for coming up with such a plan.

Otherwise relying on Jiang Yu’s ability alone, there was no way she could find such a renowned investigator or learn about this many of the Song family’s secrets. These were all but under Fu Chengyan’s control.

“What’s our next step, Mr. Fu?”

“Have Shi Wei go to the company tomorrow. We should start shooting the advertisements for St. Dee. And give her the second female lead role for the movie ‘Beneath the Sky.’“ Fu Chengyan’s long fingers tapped the window frame and he looked out at the car parked downstairs, a glint flashing across his eyes.

Zhou Zheng understood right away. “I’ll inform Guan Jing tomorrow. But it seems like it’ll be a waste to give Shi Wei the role in ‘Beneath the Sky.’“

Zhou Zheng had personally sought out well-known scriptwriters and film directors to produce ‘Beneath the Sky’ and it took them a couple of years before they were happy with the final product. Zhou Zheng had a feeling that ‘Beneath the Sky’ would be a huge box office hit should it screen in the cinemas.

But Zhou Zheng also knew that once Fu Chengyan made up his mind, there was no changing it, so he didn’t say anything further.

“You need to sacrifice something to win something. The more I put Shi Wei on a pedestal, the more they’re going to go at each other. And it’ll be even better if both the Song and the Shi family all get roped in. Then that would be one great show to watch.” Fu Chengyan grinned. “Alright, go take care of it tomorrow. When will the press conference for ‘Beneath the Sky’ be held?”

“Next month.” Zhou Zheng did some quick math. “It’ll be the new year in a month or so. We plan to do it before then. As for shooting, there’s still quite a bit of preparation to be done so that’ll be after the new year. Mr. Fu, is this arrangement satisfactory to you?”

“That’s fine as it is. I’ll attend the press conference.”

“Yes, sir. I’ll take care of it.” After Zhou Zheng hung up the call, he made another to Guan Jing right away.

Guan Jing wasn’t as busy recently due to all of Shi Wei’s issues. She was in a deep sleep when the phone suddenly rang and woke her. Guan Jing answered the phone dazed. “Hello?”

“It’s me!”

When Guan Jing heard who was on the other line, she quickly climbed out of bed and was immediately wide awake. “Mr. Zhou? It’s late. Is something wrong?”

“Bring Shi Wei over to Xinhuang tomorrow,” said Zhou Zheng. “Make sure you do so!”

“Shi Wei? But Shi Wei… Shi Wei has been embroiled in scandals lately with Mr. Fu…” Guan Jing paused. “Mr. Zhou, is Mr. Fu willing to speak up?”

“Have you forgotten that Shi Wei has an endorsement deal with St. Dee? It’s been delayed for too long. St. Dee’s products will be unveiled early next year. If we don’t shoot the advertisements now, the company will lose a lot of money. Is that what you want?”

“St. Dee?” Guan Jing was in shock. “But I thought…” Guan Jing was sure that after the events of late, Shi Wei would’ve lost that endorsement deal. She never would’ve expected Zhou Zheng to personally give her a call and tell her that the deal was still Shi Wei’s. Guan Jing couldn’t quite grasp what was going on.

The company was already being very gracious by not taking any measures against Shi Wei. Under normal circumstances, allowing her to continue with the endorsement deal was just out of the question.

“What? Which part of Mr. Fu’s decision do you not understand?”
