After Transmigrating Into A Cannon Fodder Scum A… Eh? ABO - Chapter 37
As it was inconvenient to go out, Fu Nanxuan could only stay in the hotel to deal with official business and remote meetings. On the office desk, an external screen was connected to Song Chuan for a video conference. She leaned back in her chair, listening to the other party’s report on the progress of the new venture project. The tip of her pen left one circle after another on the paper, and her eyes occasionally looked at the laptop on the other side.
Until the inbox popped up with a new unread email. She put down her pen, held the mouse and clicked on the email. The content only simply wrote “Photos of the person being investigated”, with a link attached.
After hesitating for two seconds, Fu Nanxuan decisively clicked on the link to download the folder. While waiting for the download, she was a little irritable, wanting to see Qi Mian’s face quickly.
“CEO?” Song Chuan’s voice came from the computer.
“Hmm?” Fu Nanxuan responded casually.
“The progress of the new venture project has been explained. Do you have any other instructions?” Song Chuan saw Fu Nanxuan’s absent-minded look, but learned from Liu Shaoang that the other party was now in her susceptible period and her emotions were inevitably fluctuating.
Fu Nanxuan waited until the file showed that the download was complete, immediately unzipped and opened the folder. The first photo that came into view was a solo photo of Qi Mian, and the smile on the photo made Fu Nanxuan stunned.
Her breathing suddenly lost its rhythm, and her heartbeat was like thunder, ringing in her ears. If Qi Mian was still alive, she should also be able to wait until she showed the same smile to herself. But now she has to find comfort from others. She felt that she was betraying Qi Mian, and was deeply fascinated by the substitute who looked exactly like her.
Fu Nanxuan hated her own depravity on the one hand, and her desire for Qi Mian deepened on the other.
“CEO?” Song Chuan didn’t wait for her reply for a long time. From her point of view, she could only see her expressionless face on the screen, as if she had a lot of opinions on the new venture project.
“Let’s do this for now. The progress is generally in accordance with the previous plan, and I have no other questions.” Fu Nanxuan looked up. “Do you have any questions?”
Song Chuan was a little surprised that Fu Nanxuan was so easy to talk to today. In fact, this progress report has not yet reached a flawless state. In the past, the other party would criticize the flawed parts, but now it is so easy to let it go, she felt a little strange.
“What’s wrong? Do you have any questions to ask me?” Song Chuan didn’t speak, and Fu Nanxuan asked a second time. As long as it is not an Alpha, her attitude and patience will be higher.
“No more.” Song Chuan quickly replied.
“Then let’s do this first, goodbye.” After Fu Nanxuan hung up the video conference, she immediately called Liu Shaoang and asked him to come forward to contact the Qi family to inquire whether it would be possible to visit tonight.
She sat at her desk, and the photo of Qi Mian smiling was enlarged by her to fill the screen. She stared at the photo in a daze.
Twenty minutes later, Liu Shaoang replied with a string of addresses. “The Qi family expressed that they are very honored to meet you, and will host a banquet at their home at 7 o’clock tonight. Do you need me to go with you?”
“I can go by myself. You continue to be busy with Linghang’s affairs. As for contacting the Qi family, there is no need to tell others for the time being.”
“Okay.” Liu Shaoang understood what she meant was Song Chuan. Working together for so long, he had long seen Song Chuan’s feelings for Fu Nanxuan, and once wanted to play matchmaker to help, but Fu Nanxuan never had contact with Song Chuan on matters other than work. So he still maintained his sense of propriety, what should be done, what should not be done, and the relationship and work were clearly separated.
Hearing her parents’ meaning, the guests tonight were no small figures, Qi Mian could only take out the newly bought luxury brand dress and put it on.
A white strapless backless dress, plus a black belt and black high heels. Her long black hair was slightly curled, and she put on light makeup. Then she got on the car sent by her family.
When she arrived home, she saw that there was already an unfamiliar luxury car parked at the door, thinking that the guests had arrived? She suddenly felt a headache. It was not even 6:40 yet, she had tried her best to come back early, but she didn’t expect the guests to arrive so early.
After getting off the car, she walked quickly to the door, just about to knock on the door, the door had already been opened from the inside before her. Her mother stood behind the door, smiling helplessly.
“Why are you coming back so late.” Tan Yanrong said with a bit of reproach, of course not sincerely wanting to say her daughter, but the guests were behind her, so she always had to make an appearance.
Qi Mian saw that her mother was also dressed up, and was a little surprised, wondering which guest it was. But the next second she knew.
Fu Nanxuan’s figure appeared behind the door, and her father was smiling and chatting with the other party. After she walked in, the two stopped talking and looked at her at the same time.
“Let me introduce you, this is my daughter, Qi Mian.” Qi Chengyun beckoned to Qi Mian, signaling her to come over. “This is the CEO of M&F, Ms. Fu Nanxuan.”
Qi Mian put on a polite smile and reached out to her: “Hello, CEO Fu.” As if she had never seen the other party before. Not even a ripple was left from the accidental glance at the restaurant last time.
That kind of unfamiliar and polite attitude appeared on the same face as Qi Mian, slightly piercing Fu Nanxuan. But when she shook hands with the other party, the real warmth in her hand made Fu Nanxuan’s heart ache for a moment. She endured these emotions and smiled at Qi Mian, politely saying: “Hello, Miss Qi.”
The clasped hands quickly separated. Qi Mian could not see the difference.
“She is also a senior this year, about the same age as you. Her grades at school are also among the best, just hoping that she will join the company after graduation to help me.” Qi Chengyun did not compare the achievements of the two, and praised Qi Mian very dotingly.
Making Qi Mian embarrassed, she could only smile. In front of Fu Nanxuan, what were those of her achievements? She was still very self-aware.
Fu Nanxuan looked at the smile at the corner of her mouth, and her eyes became softer. “People who can follow their own plans step by step are very good.”
Hearing this sentence, Qi Mian was stunned for a moment, and when she met Fu Nanxuan’s gentle gaze, she felt suspicious in her heart. Could it be that Fu Nanxuan… remembered her? But at that time, the system said that after writing the ending of death, she was completely dead in Fu Nanxuan’s cognition.
The only thing Qi Mian didn’t expect was that the two were in the same time and space. She didn’t ask the system what to do if they met again?
“Because it was a bit rushed, dinner is not ready yet. How about I let Qi Mian accompany you to the garden for a walk? You young people also have more topics to talk about.” Qi Chengyun noticed that Fu Nanxuan seemed not to be repulsed by her daughter, and offered to let Qi Mian accompany her.
He didn’t want to help Qi Mian make a match. Qi Chengyun’s love for his daughter is well known in H City, and he never interferes with Qi Mian’s life and decisions. He just thought that Fu Nanxuan was here, it would be impolite, so he let his daughter take her for a walk. However, Vice President Liu, who contacted him today, vaguely reminded him that the CEO is not a person who likes flattery.
“If it’s not too much trouble, please Miss Qi take me for a walk.” Fu Nanxuan agreed, this was the reason for her visit. She looked at Qi Mian, waiting for her to speak.
Qi Mian wanted to test what Fu Nanxuan’s situation was, so she nodded and agreed. “Okay, I’ll take Ms. Fu for a walk.”
Qi Mian originally wanted to take her time, but she didn’t expect that after walking silently to the small garden behind, Fu Nanxuan, who had been silent all the way, gave her a big surprise as soon as she opened her mouth.
Fu Nanxuan stood under the light, her back stretched very long, and the loneliness made her appear even more slender. “Miss Qi, I won …don’t want to beat around the bush with you, I’ll be straightforward.” She turned around and looked at Qi Mian, and the originally deep and dim eyes gradually revealed a little light. “I came to visit you.”
Qi Mian had this guess when she saw Fu Nanxuan, but now it was only confirmed by the person concerned. She still maintained a polite smile. “Including the last time at the restaurant, I should have only met you twice, and I don’t quite understand what you mean.”
“You look very much like my first love…, the person I liked.” Fu Nanxuan half-closed her eyes, as if this was the only way she had the courage to continue. “It shouldn’t be said that she looks very much alike, but exactly the same. But she’s dead.”
“Not only does she have the same appearance. Even the pheromone scent, the parents’ names, are the same. It’s strange, isn’t it, how can there be such a thing in the world.” Fu Nanxuan occasionally wanted to explore, but whenever her thoughts went a little deeper, she would feel like she had hit a wall, making her believe that Qi Mian was dead.
“How could there be such a thing?” Hearing Fu Nanxuan use the word first love, Qi Mian was silent for a long time before opening her mouth in surprise. She jokingly mentioned: “Maybe I’m the person herself, but I faked my death? Otherwise, how could there be someone with the same name, background, and even pheromones?”
“If possible, I also hope so. At least the person is still alive.” Fu Nanxuan curled the corners of her mouth, clearly smiling but looking like she was crying. “But I saw the video of her car accident, there was a surveillance camera facing her position at the location of her car accident. The fragmented appearance…”
Unexpectedly, the system gave her such a cruel way to die, Qi Mian was silent. But she also understood what was going on. The system’s hints to the characters in the story are very strong, making these people unable to be suspicious. So when faced with the appearance of exactly the same person in the world, they will not have the suspicion that she is not actually dead.
It’s just that she wanted to make the final confirmation, and from her coat pocket, she took out a chocolate-flavored lollipop and handed it to Fu Nanxuan.
When Fu Nanxuan saw the packaging on the candy clearly, her eyes uncontrollably showed surprise: “You also eat this candy? How can even this be the same…” She couldn’t help but reach out and take it, holding it in her palm nostalgically. However, the originally hesitant and difficult to express thoughts were determined at this moment.
Putting away her weak emotions, at this moment she finally performed like the M&F CEO that the outside world said, and spoke to Qi Mian in a strong tone: “I know that recently the Qi family’s real estate company wants to launch a new town development project, and has been lacking some momentum.” This momentum includes money, power, and no matter which one, it is the reason why Qi Chengyun has not been able to successfully push the project forward.
Qi Mian now felt a little conflicted. When Fu Nanxuan said she liked her, she undeniably felt joy, but when the other party seemed to be about to propose something, her emotions inexplicably fluctuated. She finally chose to remain silent and waited for Fu Nanxuan to continue.
It was strange that when Qi Mian’s eyes met hers, Fu Nanxuan was actually a little unable to speak. She looked away and coldly continued: “As long as you agree to my conditions, M&F can invest in the new town development project.”
After Fu Nanxuan appeared, Qi Mian changed her previous evasive attitude and meticulously checked the relevant information of M&F, knowing that they mainly invest in new venture industries or Internet-related industries, and rarely touch land and other companies. For Qi Mian’s sake, she even broke her own principles.
Qi Mian pursed her lips, her emotions difficult to discern. “Do you think my father would need me to do this?”
“I know Mr. Qi dotes on you very much. Don’t you want to contribute to the Qi family? As long as you agree to my conditions, the company can reach a higher level.” Fu Nanxuan returned to the role of a businessman, and was quite confident when talking about interests.
Qi Mian did not answer directly, she was silent, her eyes fixed on Fu Nanxuan’s shadow reflected on the already withered trees. Fu Nanxuan did not speak again, leaving her enough room to think.
“What conditions? Do you want me to sign a substitute contract?” Qi Mian turned her face and coldly scrutinized her.
Her cold expression overlapped with Qi Mian’s appearance many years ago, making Fu Nanxuan dazed for a moment, thinking that Qi Mian had come back to life. She closed her eyes and steadied her heart.
“I think it is a contract that is beneficial to both of us. But you can say that.” Fu Nanxuan paused. “Substitute contract.”
