Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 60 I'll never let you go on blind dates again!

Another weekend has passed in the blink of an eye. Business people will take advantage of the bosses' leisure time to find a suitable opportunity to curry favor with them.

Of course, there will also be people with ill intentions who create all sorts of coincidences.

On a golf course in the suburbs, Fu Baiqing, who had nothing to do, was swinging his club and hitting a ball.

The next second, the woman standing next to him clapped her hands and cheered.

The woman was his secretary, Zhou Yuan. She was wearing a sun hat, a white sweatshirt, and a white mini skirt, and she looked to have a very good figure.

"Mr. Fu, I didn't expect to run into you here today."

Hearing someone speaking to him, Fu Baiqing turned around to look at the person walking behind him. He saw that the person speaking was about the same age as him, but he didn't seem to recognize him.

"Who are you?" Fu Baiqing asked the man with a questioning look in his eyes.

The speaker had already walked up to Fu Baiqing. He smiled and said, "President Fu, you really have a bad memory. Last year, there was a company annual meeting in City A, and I gave you a heads-up."

No matter what the person in front of him said, Fu Baiqing just couldn't recall ever seeing him before. But out of business courtesy, he still smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I did attend that meeting. There were probably too many people that day, and I'm not very good at remembering things. How about we get to know each other again today?"

"Hello, Mr. Fu, I'm from Zhuozheng Group, but I'm from Zhuozheng's sales department." After the man finished speaking, his secretary behind him immediately handed his business card to Fu Baiqing.

Fu Baiqing glanced at the words on the business card: Luo Zhi, General Manager of Sales Department, Zhuozheng Group.

Fu Baiqing had heard of this person before; he was the newly appointed general manager of the sales department at Zhuozheng Group.

Fu Baiqing extended his hand in a friendly handshake gesture, "Hello, Mr. Luo. I've heard that you have strong business skills. I didn't expect to have the honor of meeting you here today."

Luo Zhi took Fu Baiqing's hand and said, "Since it's such a coincidence, why don't we become friends?"

Zhuozheng Group and Ming's Group have always been in a competitive relationship in the industrial chain. Fu Baiqing was quite curious about what Luo Zhi wanted to do by "encountering" him.

“Making friends is a must.” Fu Baiqing took off his golf gloves and gestured for Luo Zhi to sit down with him.

Following behind them were their respective secretaries.

"Your Ming Group had some trouble a while ago, but not only was it resolved, but its market value is now soaring. I really want to learn from you." Luo Zhi said, as he poured Fu Baiqing a cup of tea.

Fu Baiqing smiled slightly, "Then you've come to the wrong person to learn from."

"Why? I heard that you've been working tirelessly for the Ming Group lately," Luo Zhi said, feigning incomprehension.

“Being dedicated to one’s work is just the execution; the company management is the idea behind this governance method,” Fu Baiqing said, then picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Luo Zhi also picked up his teacup and took a sip. "In the Ming Group, you're not even considered a manager? You must be joking."

Fu Baiqing smiled again, "What kind of manager am I? Our CEO Pei is the real manager."

"I heard he's a CEO parachuted in, young and inexperienced, and he still needs you veterans to support him." Luo Zhi said this with a deliberately disdainful tone. "No, no, no, although our CEO Pei is young, he's smart. Otherwise, the Ming Group wouldn't have turned things around so quickly." Fu Baiqing didn't know what Luo Zhi was trying to get out of him, so he had to be wary of his every word.

"So, you, the old general, are convinced of him?" Luo Zhi finally asked the question he wanted to ask.

Fu Baiqing seemed to understand Luo Zhi's meaning a little. He deliberately smiled and asked, "What can I do if I'm not convinced? He's the rightful CEO."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Now that we're friends, Mr. Fu, you'll have to take me with you when you're in Jiangcheng." Luo Zhi knew when to stop, since there would be plenty of opportunities to "bump into" Fu Baiqing in the future anyway.

“Great! Our two companies have always been business partners, so we should help each other out and support each other in doing business.”

Fu Baiqing knew in his heart that the "chance encounter" between Zhuozheng's people and him here today was definitely not so simple. Could it be that they wanted to take advantage of Minghui's hospitalization to poach him from Zhuozheng?

Fu Baiqing didn't bother with such things; he had no plans to switch jobs to any company at the moment.

Time flew by and it was almost noon. After working the night shift all night, Tang Ying dragged her tired body and pressed the button for the elevator leading to the upper floor from the parking lot.

To her surprise, as soon as she stepped out of the elevator and reached the corner, Gao Shusong was standing right in front of her door.

"Grandpa, what brings you here?" Tang Ying hurried forward, opened the door, and invited Gao Shusong inside.

After entering the room, Gao Shusong first looked around Tang Ying's small apartment, and then he slowly sat down on the sofa.

Seeing this, Tang Ying picked up a water glass from the bar and poured a glass of warm water, placing it in front of Gao Shusong.

"Grandpa, why did you come all the way here? Just tell me what's wrong, and I'll come find you." Tang Ying said, plopping down next to Gao Shusong.

Seeing that Tang Ying acted as if nothing had happened, Gao Shusong slowly spoke, "Yingying, your grandfather has come to apologize to you."

From Gao Shusong's words, Tang Ying guessed that Gao Shusong already knew everything that had happened in the past few days.

"What do you have to apologize to me for? You had no idea your friend's grandson would be that kind of person."

Tang Ying said that, but when she heard that Gao Shusong, such a stubborn old man, had actually come to apologize to her in person, Tang Ying felt much better.

Gao Shusong grasped Tang Ying's hand, a hint of apology still in his eyes. "Their whole family came to see me yesterday to apologize, saying they hoped I wouldn't hold a grudge against an ignorant junior."

"They went to harass you?" Tang Ying was about to explode when she heard this. It was bad enough that the family harassed her, but they were shameless enough to harass her grandfather as well!

“Their family brought a lot of things to my place, and I had the housekeeper throw them all out in front of them. I will not accept that kid's apology.”

Tang Ying could tell that Gao Shusong was very angry, so she quickly patted his back to help him calm down. "Grandpa, I won't blame you for this. I know your intention was for my own good. Let's just pretend this never happened and continue living our lives."

Tang Ying knew Gao Shusong's stubborn temper all too well, and she didn't want her grandfather to get sick because of that man.

“Yingying, after this incident, I’ve come to a realization. I’ll never let you go on blind dates again. Relationships are all about fate.” Gao Shusong felt truly guilty thinking about how his beloved granddaughter had lost face at work.

Upon hearing this, Tang Ying felt as if she had turned misfortune into blessing! She would never have to go on blind dates again!
