Ms. Bigshot Is Pampered by All-Chapter 371 - 370 The Empty Reputation is Far Less Important than Actual Results

No sooner had Chi Gui gotten out of the car than Old Sir Fu and Granny Fu eagerly brought her into the small dining room.

Just a step behind and completely ignored was Fu Si: ...

As Qin Cheng turned off the car, he was about to get out from the driver’s seat when he witnessed the scene. He quietly shrank back, pretending to look down at his phone to deal with matters, as if he hadn’t seen anything.

Fu Si cast a fleeting glance at Qin Cheng, who was feigning blindness, and then stepped towards the house.

Although Old Sir Fu had invited Yao Zhenqing and Yuan Rou for the meal, all the dishes were Chi Gui’s favorites.

Even though Chi Gui was not much of a talker, she was very polite, answering any question posed to her, and with Fu Si’s intermediary efforts, the atmosphere at the dining table remained very cheerful.

It wasn’t until the meal was nearing its end that the butler came in and whispered something into Old Sir Fu’s ear, causing his expression to visibly darken.

With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the butler.

Afterward, although he continued to eat and chat with Chi Gui as if nothing was amiss, he was clearly much more distracted.

After dining, Granny Fu took Chi Gui upstairs to chat, while Old Sir Fu called Fu Si into his study.

Once in the study, Old Sir Fu had no reservations about speaking his mind. He sighed and said in a serious tone, "The Yao Family had lunch at the Jin Family’s today because of Shi Liyun."

That one sentence made it clear to Fu Si the advantages and disadvantages at play.

If Yao Zhenqing were to forge a good relationship with the Jin Family, then Ruo Laiya, the international second-tier jewelry brand that works with the Fu Family every year, would be handed over to the Jin Family.

While Ruo Laiya may not rank high internationally, it is the second bestselling jewelry brand in Huaxia. If the Fu Family only lost this cooperation, it would be bearable. However, if it fell into the Jin Family’s hands, it would be a significant blow to the Fu Family’s industry.

What’s more crucial is that the eldest daughter of the Jin Family is a jewelry designer. If she, with Yao Family’s help, makes a big name for herself at the Jade Appreciation Conference, it would be a serious hit to the Fu Family, which has no designers of its own.

Fu Si sat on the sofa in the study, his slender middle finger lightly pushing his glasses, his phoenix eyes slightly upturned as if he smiled, "Is the Yao Family preparing to cozy up to the Jin Family and abandon the Fu Family? Why would he think the Jin Family has a better future than the Fu Family?"

Old Sir Fu let out a heavy sigh, "Because Professor Shi Liyun won the Beiding Ge’er Award, and after this award ceremony, he will be promoted to Academician."

Fu Si looked surprised as he raised an eyebrow, "Beiding Ge’er?"

"You know?" Old Sir Fu looked at him.

His grandson was usually indifferent to the matters of the medical community, so Old Sir Fu was ready to inform Fu Si about what the Beiding Ge’er Award was. Hearing the informed tone of Fu Si, he couldn’t help but be astonished.

Could it be that this kid, for the sake of Chi Gui, had dug into every last detail of the medical world?

Fu Si, of course, knew what Old Sir Fu was thinking, but he just smiled and stood up, "Not very clear. But someone called today to invite Chi Gui to be a guest at the Beiding Ge’er, which she unceremoniously declined."

Old Sir Fu: !!

He couldn’t help but stand up in shock, "Why would she decline?!"

Old Sir Fu knew Chi Gui’s background, so he wasn’t surprised that Beiding Ge’er would invite her but was very surprised that Chi Gui declined.

Fu Si adjusted his glasses and spoke unhurriedly, "It’s not as important as five million dollars."

Old Sir Fu: ...

That... coming from Professor Chi... seemed... rather normal?

"It does suit Miss Chi’s character," Old Sir Fu said, smiling and clapping his hands, "The thing she always says is, ’Empty fame is far less important than real achievements.’"

Fu Si smiled proudly.

However, the cooperation between the Yao Family and the Jin Family was still a prickly issue.

After savoring the pride for a moment, the grandfather and grandson returned to reality and began to discuss countermeasures.

On the other side.

In the bedroom, Granny Fu couldn’t keep things to herself, and it didn’t take long before she spilled the beans about the Yao Family, the Jin Family, and the Jade Appreciation Conference.
