I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 58

Fu Chengyan sneered. “You should know how I do things around here, Uncle Jiang.” He put his glass down and looked at Fu Chengyan condescendingly.

“I don’t want to make things too ugly, so I want to see your letter of resignation tomorrow morning. As for the company’s shares, well, you can still take the annual dividends.” This was as much as he could tolerate.

Fu Renjiang was livid, then he stood up fiercely. “Who do you think you are, Fu Chengyan? Do you think I am scared of you? You’re not the boss of Shengyuan. Even your father has to respect me, so how dare you tell me what to do?” The more he thought about it, the angrier he was. I poured my heart and soul into the company.

This brat hasn’t even been here for that long, but he’s already acting like he’s the boss around here. ”Do you think I don’t know what you’re planning? Yeah, we are from the same family, but your family has never treated mine as equals. I’m warning you now. If you do anything to me, then I’ll do the same thing to you.”

“Well then, I can’t wait, Uncle Jiang.” Fu Chengyan looked at him coldly. If he wants to do it the hard way, then he can’t say I didn’t warn him. ”I would love to hear your good news tomorrow, or I might have to send something your way.” He tossed the document away. “Do you think this is the only thing I have?”

“What do you mean?” Fu Renjiang’s expression changed again. “What are you planning, Fu Chengyan? Even if I agree to resign, the board of directors won’t.”

“I’ve given you a chance.” Fu Chengyan flung his hand and left, not giving Fu Renjiang any chance to take back his decision.

Shi Nuan was discussing something with Pei when Song Rongrong called her. She paused for a moment when she saw the familiar number, signaling Pei to stop the meeting for a while. “Hello.”

“Hello my foot! Come here and pick me up, Shi Nuan,” Song Rongrong said melodiously, obviously in a good mood.

Shi Nuan squinted, then her eyes gleamed. “Pick you up? You’re back?”

“Damn right I am. Cut the crap and pick me up right now!”

“Where are you?” Shi Nuan was happy too, since it had been years since she last met Song Rongrong. She felt touched hearing Song Rongrong’s voice. When she left the last time, Shi Nuan thought they would never meet again. “Why did you come back though?”

“Let’s leave that for another time. I’m at Wenhua Street now. Just my luck, my car decided to die on me.”

“Alright, I’ll pick you up right away.” She then kept her phone. “I need to go out for a bit, Pei. There’s something I must settle, so meeting adjourned. Well, tell any guests who are here for me that I’m out.”

Shi Nuan quickly tidied up, but then she remembered something, so she came back. “Oh right, just take the investment details of that project to Mr. Fu. Tell him I went on a field trip.”

“Oh.” Pei nodded. “What if the general manager comes though?”

“Ignore him.” Shi Nuan’s expression darkened. “And don’t tell him where I went.”

Shi Nuan quickly went down and drove the Ferrari Fu Chengyan gave her to Wenhua Street. Song Rongrong only gave an approximate location, so it took Shi Nuan some time to locate her. At the time Shi Nuan saw her, her friend was sucking on a popsicle, and she was holding two boxes of popsicles at the same time. She waved at Shi Nuan when she saw her. “Right here.”

Shi Nuan went to take a look at her. “You got thinner, and darker.” Shi Nuan said, then she looked at Song Rongrong’s unbelievably short hair. The once fair, lovely, and cute girl was gone, replaced by a tomboy. “Why did you cut your hair?” Shi Nuan touched Song Rongrong’s hair, feeling sad. “What a pity.”

“Pity my foot!” Song Rongrong didn’t mind. “Africa is uninhabitable! I didn’t want to groom my hair, so I cut it. It’s better being fresh.” Song Rongrong looked at Shi Nuan. “It’s been years, but you’re still the same old you.”

Shi Nuan pursed her lips. “I am a constant. Right, I thought you just came back, so what happened?” Shi Nuan felt sad when Song Rongrong went to Africa despite her family’s protests back then. She even said that she would never come back. Song Rongrong was a reporter, and she volunteered to go to Africa. The woman had just gone through a breakup back then, so nobody could dissuade her.

Song Rongrong lifted her eyebrow. “I’m already back for a while now. Just got a job earlier, so what you see now is the result of me coming back from an out-of-town interview.” Song Rongrong cracked her neck. “I don’t really know anyone aside from you here, so I could only call you.”

Shi Nuan lifted her eyebrow. “So you wouldn’t have called me if you weren’t in trouble.” Shi Nuan was annoyed. “Are we even friends?”

“Of course we are. I was just thinking that I should settle down before going to see you.” Song Rongrong wrapped her arm around Shi Nuan’s shoulder. “Right, how’s it going on between you and Fu Xicheng? You guys married?”

Shi Nuan stood there, her expression freezing up, then she stayed quiet. Song Rongrong noticed she wasn’t looking like herself, so she asked, “Oh no, did you guys break up?”

“Yeah.” Shi Nuan nodded. “I don’t want to talk about this for now. Let’s get to my car.” Shi Nuan took her friend to her car, for she didn’t want to talk about this.
