Love Me Harder, Mr. Fu Chapter 146
Advertisement
Today is a big day for Evelyn. She has been taking some classes from her mother's secretary as well as from Shi Lian for the past week. Today she is going to attend a business meeting which is very important for her mother. Her mother, Leng Xinyi insists that she is well and she can go but Evelyn told her a big no. When her daughter is well and healthy, why should she let her sick mother work?
Even though she detests business and financial whatever stuff, she is bound to attend this.
"Don't be nervous. You have worked hard for this, just be yourself" her mother tries to boost her, giving her a lazy smile.
Evelyn smiles and holds her hand. "I'll try not to flip out, Mom. Just tell Ruth to guide me every now and then. "
Her mother chuckles, "Of course. She will be by your side throughout the meeting." She then calls Ruth, her secretary who is waiting outside her room.
She enters, walking elegantly, and bows as she reaches her bed. "Ma'am."
"Make sure you be by her side and guide her every now and then" Evelyn's mother orders her. Even though her health is not good, her authoritative tone never loses.
Ruth nods, with a professional smile on her face. "Be assure Ma'am."
Leng Xinyi turns her attention back to her daughter. She still can't believe her daughter is going to be managing her work firm. She takes her hand and kisses it on her knuckles. "I wish you the best of luck."
Evelyn reminds her to take her medicine before she leaves and also tells the housemaids to take care of her mother well.
Evelyn and Ruth leave for the company. As they sit inside the car, Ruth asks, "Have you took the blue file I gave you?"
Evelyn thinks for a while remembering if she took it or not. She then checks her handbag and on the second chain, she sees the blue file. Relief floods over her and she takes out the file. "Here."
Ruth takes the file from her hand and studies it. "Have you gone through it?" she asks her eyes on the pages.

Evelyn says, "Yes, I did some of it."
Ruth sighs. Teaching Evelyn was not an easy job. She had to teach three to four times because Evelyn will always sleep in between. Evelyn too tried to concentrate but business and she has no bonding.
An hour later, they reach the Fu building. They had the meeting here. Yes, the meeting is with Fu Zichen. After several attempts, Zichen accepts Leyson Group's request and finally, today is the day they will be having a meeting.
Evelyn is unknown that this building is owned by Fu Zichen. She doesn't even know this is the Fu building.
Both women step out of the car and stand outside the company. The company is huge and three times bigger than her mother's company.
Evelyn takes a deep breath, trying to calm her nervous self.
"This is Fu International. Grand as it sounds, isn't it?" Ruth says, observing the building in front of her. Evelyn nods, agreeing with her.
"Shall we head in?" she asks and when Evelyn slightly nods, they head in.
Reaching the reception desk, Ruth insists to go talk to the lady at the desk.
"Hello, we are from Leyson Group. We are for the meeting as appointed."
The lady with blue eyes smiles, "Good Morning. Please hold. Let me inform Mr. Fu first."
Ruth nods, smiling as well. After the lady is done with the phone, she faces Ruth. "Please allow me to take you. Follow me, please."
Ruth signals Evelyn and they both follow the lady to the elevator.
Stepping out of the elevator, they pass the foyer, and then taking another turn, the lady stops before a room. She clicks the doorknob and opening the door, she gestures the two of them to step inside.
"Thank You" Ruth expresses to the receptionist.
A man is already waiting when they step in. Evelyn turns her gaze towards the man in a grey suit. His back is facing her as she looks outside the big window.
Hearing their heels clanking, he turns his face towards them. When Evelyn looks at him, her eyes widen in shock.

He too when he looks at Evelyn gives a knowing look. At first, he cannot recognize her but then looking more clearly, he knew he has seen her.
He walks towards them, his eyes on Evelyn. Evelyn bites her lips, thinking in frustration that what in the world he is here?
"Hello, Mr. Fu" Ruth greets, putting forward her hand for a handshake.
"Mr. Fu is out of the country at the moment so as the CEO I am here for the meeting. Hello, I am Junjie" he informs them, with a smirk on his face.
Evelyn gapes. "You are the CEO here?" Her eyes snd ears cannot believe what he said is true.
He smirks the very charming yet smug smirk. "Indeed, I am."
"You know him?" Ruth asks her, surprised. Evelyn does not reply but just glares at Junjie.
Junjie says for her instead. "We met before. We meet again."
Evelyn rolls her eyes ignoring his handshake. He does not mind it and invites them to take seats on the couch. He sits to their opposite his legs crossed.
Ruth starts what she has prepared and he too talks with interest. Evelyn every now and then makes faces. How small the world is! Out of everyone, he has to be the one? Why? She thinks to herself.
Ruth elbows her lightly, signaling to say what she has prepared. Evelyn wants to but at the same does not want to. "Say" Ruth whispers to her.
Evelyn glances at Junjie who is very interested in looking at her. That annoys her more.
She tries to make herself understand. She is here as the representative of the Leyson group, for her mother. She cannot mess this up just because she despises him.
Sucking in the air she starts, "I think it would be reasonable. Besides, the Leyson group is known for the best jewelry all over Asia. With its wide range and big achievements, I think it is reasonable."
He is smiling as she speaks but she ignores his face. He asks more questions and she answers confidently. Ruth helps her out now and then and after a while, the meeting ends.
"It was a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Song" Ruth thanks him, shaking his hand.
"Pleasure is mine too. I am glad I am throne to be here" he says and glances at Evelyn.
Ruth eyes Evelyn to greet him but Evelyn has no mind in doing that.
He goes to her side and puts forward his hand for a handshake. "It's a pleasure meeting you Miss Evelyn."
Her arms are still crossed over her chest and gives him a mean look. "Miss Ruth, can you give us a second please?" he tells her.
Evelyn is quick to say no but Ruth is already out. So there's only Evelyn and him, alone in this room.
"What's this supposed to mean?" she grits out. He takes a step closer and she takes a step back. He takes another step and this time Evelyn has no space now. There's this couch behind her making her stop.
Her calves hit the couch and she drops back to the couch. He takes another step and stands in front of her. She looks up, craning her head. "What now?"
He smirks, "Fierce wild kitten. Don't you think it's rude of you to not say anything pleasant to me?"
She scoffs, "I don't think that at all. You think you deserve that?"
"Yeah definitely!"
She rolls her eyes. "Let me go," she says, trying to get up but he won't budge. He leans a little lower, leaving some gap between them.
"You said that earlier too. I let you go earlier but you have to pay the price this time if you want to leave," he states, his voice seductive.
Even though Evelyn finds this man attractive, she cannot let her guard down. He is attractive so what? He is annoying as hell.
"What price?" she asks, gulping softly.
"I want that kiss I didn't get," he says, his voice husky as he leans more.
Evelyn's pupil dilates and her heart starts beating faster. Upclose, he appears handsome and it's hard for her to resist.

Noli Me Tank in a Mall
Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo are important cultural works that ignited the Philippine Revolution against Spain. They are novels that exposed to the populace the abuses and the injustices of their Spanish colonial rulers, the hypocrisy of their priests, and inherent cruelty of their class structure over the powerless masses. Unfortunately, they rose up in the middle of the Spanish-American War, one which saw Spain lose most of their overseas colonies and decisively end as a World Power. The war ended in the 1898 Treaty of Paris, in which Spain also sold the Philippines to the USA for the sum of twenty million dollars. The revolutionary government was then crushed by the overwhelming military might of the United States and the Philippines turned into a territory. While the Philippines stands as the USA's greatest successes in nation-building, their early occupation left almost one-fifth of the population dead from combat and disease. Jose Rizal was executed by the Spanish long before knowing what might happen to his country. The world presented within The Noli and the El Fili is therefore stuck frozen in time, forever caught in that moment before a Revolution. Now let's see what happens to this nation if we give it the Light Novel treatment and jam the entirety of the Internet into their protagonist's skull and watch him try to fix things with his unfortunate tendency to sound like a supervillain. Updates Mondays and Fridays. Note: The Noli and El Fili have been public domain since 1946. This is completely fair game.
