“Sorry, Mr. Fu.”
The two bodyguards who were dragging Shen Xi away apologized with trembling hearts and continued to do so after. Just their luck to bump into the president when they were dealing with this rat.
“Wait a minute.” Fu Qingli suddenly became interested and clasped Shen Xi’s arm.
Shen Xi’s head was hung so low that it was almost buried in her chest. Her small body shivered and her eyebrows converged. She could see his long and slender fingers with neatly trimmed nails. His hands were perfect for playing the piano.
The President of Tianheng looked at the bodyguards and asked them to release this boy. He was confused and wondered if Mr. Fu knew this refugee-looking kid.
This young man was scrawny and sloppily dressed. What did Mr. Fu see in him?
“Lift your head and let me take a look.” Fu Qingli’s voice was mellow, but his tone was cold and ruthless. He frowned slightly at Shen Xi’s shivering little body.
‘This little girl sure has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. Is she trying to do something bad while she was dressed like this?’
Shen Xi buried her head even lower. ‘How could the eldest Fu brother recognize me now? Even my parents won’t be able to recognize me under this disguise!’
If Shen Zhangqing and Yun Jinping stood in front of her, they would certainly not be able to recognize her.
“You’re Shen…” Fu Qingli did not know why, but he had a sudden urge to make fun of her when he saw her cowering.
Shen Xi gritted her teeth and bit her lips. She knew it! He recognized her. Afraid that he would sell her out, she slowly raised her head and looked at him apprehensively. She said in a trembling voice, “S-Sir…”
Fu Qingli looked at her grimy little face and was very curious what techniques she used to disguise herself this way. The makeup did not look one bit fake and the disguise looked natural.
Next to him, the President of Tianheng and the bodyguards were wide-eyed and silent as they witnessed the scene in front of them.
The handsome man’s aura was commanding and cold. It was such a stark contrast compared to the scrawny and scruffy ugly teenager, but there was not the slightest hint of disdain in the man’s eyes.
“Have I seen you somewhere before?” Fu Qingli clasped her chin. His cool fingers touched her made-up face.
Shen Xi could only feel a chill down her spine. In her heart, she was cursing him for doing this on purpose!
‘He’s deliberately toying me! This evil President!’
Fu Qingli looked at the little girl’s face in front of him. The panic in her eyes disappeared and was replaced with warning and bitterness, which gave him a sense of pleasure. Suddenly, he tightened his grip on her chin.
Shen Xi only felt like biting him to death. ‘F*ck! F*ck! F*ck! Help! This evil President’s tryna ruin my face!’
Fu Qingli’s thin lips parted slightly. “Speak!”
“No.” Shen Xi clearly saw a flash of derision in his eyes and secretly cursed. In the end, she conceded and looked at him pitifully, begging to be spared.
“Oh, you know him, Mr. Fu? This is all a misunderstanding…” Tianheng’s President saw this and quickly spoke.
Fu Qingli curled his lips into a tiny arc of pleasure and let go of her chin. He saw the little girl glaring at him and said in a deep voice, “I must’ve mistaken him for someone else.”
Shen Xi said to herself, ‘I can thank your whole family!’
The President of Tianheng lowered his head and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. ‘Thank goodness! If Mr. Fu knows him, how do I explain why we are throwing this kid out?!’
Fu Qingli walked two steps forward and turned back. “Apologies for delaying you guys. You may continue whatever you were doing.”
The two bodyguards looked at each other then grabbed Shen Xi by the arm and took her away.
Shen Xi cursed him. ‘F*ck!’

Fu Qingli rubbed his index finger and thumb together. The delicate and cool touch from the little girl’s skin lingered on.
‘This girl’s pretty interesting…’
Shen Xi was dragged out and thrown to the entrance of the office when Situ Zhangyou called her. When she heard what he had to say, her face turned green. “No, no, no, no, no!”
Situ Zhangyou said, “Fine… But why are you so worked up?”
Shen Xi sounded fierce. “I’m hanging up!”
Situ Zhangyou was confused and speechless. ‘Did Fu Qingli offend her?’
Although The Boss’s girl was young, she was incredibly mature, calm, and collected.
This was the first time Situ Zhangyou experienced Shen Xi losing her temper since he met her. She sounded like she ate a cannonball and exploded.
Shen Xi sneered and wiped her face that was touched by that evil President. She was disgusted and did not want to collaborate with him nor meet him.
Ten minutes later.
Situ Zhangyou received a call from Shen Xi.
By then, Shen Xi had already calmed down. She admitted that she was a little crazy earlier over the phone. Somehow, her emotions were easily disrupted when facing the Fu brothers, which was not at all like her usual self. “Sorry, I was a little too agitated earlier. What does Fu Qingli want?”
Situ Zhangyou cleared his throat. “The Fu family found out that we don’t have a research and development team. Fu Qingli called me personally and wanted to meet the creator of ‘Jewel Look’ himself.”
“Does he know it’s me?” Shen Xi frowned.
Situ Zhangyou shook his head. “If he knew, he wouldn’t have called me. He would’ve gone straight to you.”
Shen Xi said, “No matter what he says, don’t let him know that it’s me.”
Situ Zhangyou felt a little odd. “Aren’t you close to Fu Qingye and Fu Qingxuan?”
Logically speaking, if Shen Xi collaborated with the Fu family, she would have gained a lot more profits compared to what she made with the Situ family. Fu Qingye and Fu Qingxuan also treated her quite well.
“Do I have to work with your uncle just because I’m on good terms with you?” Shen Xi retorted.
The feeling of not being able to hide in front of someone and getting exposed at first glance no matter what she did or how she looked really sucked.
Fu Qingli had such sharp eyes and he could even read minds. Working with this kind of person was terrifying.
Situ Zhangyou said, “Sorry…”
After Shen Xi hung up the phone, she hailed a cab and went home straight.
Fu Qingli came to Tianheng to talk about the acquisition. The company’s shareholders, except Su Yi, had all arrived and the discussion was underway.
“You guys go ahead. I need to take a call.” Fu Qingli looked at the people present and nodded slightly, then walked out of the conference room with his phone.
One minute later.
Fu Qingli hung up the phone. His eyes were deep, like a cold still lake. His eyes were then flooded with dangerous cold ripples in an instant.
He had been in charge of the Fu family for decades. This was the first time he had met someone who declined him and refused to collaborate with the Fu family. He was initially not interested in the development of pharmaceutical products, but now, this certainly piqued his interest.
Fu Qingli should not be overseeing such a small business personally. If it was not for Xuan’s insistence on meeting with the researcher, he would not have called Situ Zhangyou to ask for a meeting.
Shen Xi, who just got out of the cab, sneezed and rubbed her nose. She frowned and wondered which idiot was cursing her behind her back.
