PFC Chapter 214 Cinderella
Chapter 214 Cinderella
Yun Yao glanced at Old Master Fu, then slowly got up and took out a contract from the drawer.
“Mr. Fu, I am a businessman, and I always seek profit. Helping you find Gu Jiuliang is no problem, but you need to be clear about my terms.” Yun Yao said as she handed him the contract.
Old Master Fu's eyes flickered slightly; it turned out she had already made up her mind all along!
He took the contract from his hand and began to carefully examine it.
"Don't worry, I never force people to do things they can't do. What's written in the contract... is absolutely something you can do."
Old Fu remained silent, growing increasingly shocked as he looked at the contract. Finally, he abruptly slammed it shut and stared at Yun Yao in disbelief.
"Linlang Pavilion, is it your property?"
The Linlang Pavilion is developing rapidly, even rivaling the century-old Zhenbaozhai. As the person in charge of Zhenbaozhai, he had privately investigated who owned the suddenly emerging Linlang Pavilion in order to compete. However, each time he sent people, they returned empty-handed. It was said that the Linlang Pavilion was run by a father and son, but the father was really too ordinary.
Having worked in this industry for so many years, he was well aware that what the outside world saw was merely a pawn pushed out by the behind-the-scenes boss of Linlang Pavilion.
He had previously thought that someone with such a business mind must be at least a seasoned veteran over thirty, but he never expected it to be this "notorious" young girl in front of him!
Old Master Fu still found it hard to believe, but... if it was the business tycoon behind her, then anything was possible.
Thinking of this, Old Fu felt relieved and said directly, "President Su's ambition is really not small. He even wants a share of the jade industry, but... I have to say, he is indeed a formidable opponent."
When she heard him mention Su Yuchen, Yun Yao didn't offer any explanation. After all, everyone outside thought she was just a Cinderella clinging to a rich guy. Besides, it would be easier to get things done with Su Yuchen's name, so why not?
"Yes, you're right. Now you can rest assured, you won't suffer if you follow him." Yun Yao added enthusiastically.
After careful consideration, Mr. Fu picked up the pen on the table.
"Okay, deal." He quickly signed his name on the contract.
Yun Yao liked this kind of straightforward person. Since he dared to come today, he must have thought about the consequences of betraying the Gu family.
Yun Yao was also very decisive and called Gu Jiuliang right in front of him.
Upon receiving Yun Yao's call, Gu Jiuliang jumped out of bed and angrily pressed the answer button.
"You two are making me do hard labor all day long. Is there no law anymore? I am a miracle doctor, do you understand? I am not a little nurse that you can order around!"
"Gu Jiuliang, you've gotten bolder?" Yun Yao's voice suddenly turned cold.
Little did he know that another person in the office had already raised their hand to pull his jaw back down.
She...she was on the phone with Gu Jiuliang?
Just... just that tone?
Old Master Fu was filled with a thousand thoughts... Could he have been deceived by this little girl, Yun Yao?
The next second, he heard "Gu Jiuliang" begging for mercy.
"Grandma, I was wrong, I was wrong, isn't that enough? May I ask what advice you have for me this time?" He was already used to the fact that the couple would only call him when they had something to say.
“I have a child here who needs your treatment,” Yun Yao said decisively.
When she looked at Old Master Fu, her eyes flickered slightly.
Why does he look like he wants to kill someone?
Gu Jiuliang was practically about to explode; you could feel his anger even through the phone.
"Yun, uh, Grandma, if I were to save just anyone, where would my dignity as a divine healer go!" Gu Jiuliang complained.
"Doctors are benevolent, understand? Hurry up, stop talking nonsense, go this afternoon—" Yun Yao suddenly looked at Old Master Fu.
Only then did Old Fu realize that Yun Yao was asking him a question, and he inexplicably gave her an address.
"Yes, this is it, did you hear me?" Yun Yao asked.
Gu Jiuliang was still complaining when Yun Yao hung up the phone. She looked at Old Master Fu and her clear, melodious voice rang out.
"You can go back now; he'll be there this afternoon."
Old Master Fu felt that Yun Yao was rubbing her intelligence in the ground; did she think that old people were so easy to fool?
“Yun Yao, even if my Fu family is at its worst, we still have influence in the jade industry, comparable to the Gu family, you know that…”
"Do you think I'm lying to you?" Yun Yao leaned against the desk, finally understanding the meaning behind Old Master Fu's words.
Old Fu didn't speak, but the furious expression on his face betrayed him.
Yun Yao's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.
"Old Master Fu, why would I need to lie to you? I can establish Linlang Pavilion in the jade industry, and I can make it far surpass Zhenbaozhai. Why would I... need you?"
Yun Yao's words made sense, and Old Master Fu fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Yun Yao's ghostly voice rang out again: "There's only one chance. You heard it too, that madman Gu Jiuliang has a really bad temper. I really don't want to make a second call to him."
Gu Jiuliang, who had been brought by Su Yuchen to take care of Yun Zhengfeng, suddenly sneezed five times in a row, so much so that he almost questioned his existence.
"Holy crap, what's going on? Do I have a cold?"
Looking at the woman opposite him, whose demeanor and speech were elegant and refined, and then thinking of his grandson who was suffering from illness, Old Fu's eyes sharpened.
"Yun Yao, I hope you won't let me down."
Yun Yao nodded slightly; she still trusted Gu Jiuliang's abilities.
"Mr. Fu, remember to go to work tomorrow." Yun Yao suddenly reminded Mr. Fu as he was leaving.
Old Fu paused in his action of pulling the door open, and said irritably, "I will only fulfill the terms of the contract after I see my grandson's condition improve."
Yun Yao chuckled and said without any restraint, "Don't worry, you'll definitely go to work tomorrow."
After Mr. Fu left, the office returned to calm. Yun Yao leaned back in her chair and slowly closed her eyes.
She hadn't experienced such a busy life in a long time. Although it made her, who had lost her magic powers, feel somewhat tired, it was... very fulfilling.
A WeChat notification sounded, and Yun Yao swiped to open her phone and glanced at it. It was from her fan club.
Luo Yu shared one interview after another in the group chat, and also tagged Yun Yao.
[Vice Principal Yun, this is the analysis report on the Yuwen Qingyue Mausoleum prepared by all the archaeology students. You have no idea how awe-inspiring today's scene was. Peking University's reputation has soared, and even the Chinese Historical Society sent us their condolences.]
His pride was evident in every word, and Yun Yao's eyes were filled with satisfaction.
Breaking with her usual rule of not speaking in the group unless absolutely necessary, Yun Yao spoke up.
[Yun Yao: Keep up the good work!]
Immediately afterwards, Yun Yao was about to send a red envelope to reward them.
The group has exactly one hundred people, including herself, so Yun Yao plans to send out one hundred fixed-amount red envelopes, each containing one thousand yuan.
However, Yun Yao felt somewhat frustrated when she tried to do it.
Seeing the message on the screen that the red envelope could only be sent for 200 yuan, Yun Yao's brow twitched.
Is that even possible? How long will it take her to post that?
With that thought in mind, Yun Yao didn't stop what she was doing and immediately called Su Yuchen.
They had been communicating via WeChat for the past two days and hadn't even made a phone call, but Yun Yao suddenly called today, which surprised Su Yuchen.
The people in the meeting abruptly stopped the meeting without any explanation and walked straight out the door.
A group of people were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
They didn't need to guess; they all knew whose call it was!
