Mr. Bigshot Is Obsessed with His Hidden-Marriage Wife
Chapter 74: No Breaking of Promises

Chapter 74: Chapter 74: No Breaking of Promises

Chairman Li could never have imagined that this mastermind was stirring the waters just for the selection of an outstanding employee.

However, it was their hospital’s affair; why had it alarmed him?

Chairman Li racked his brain and finally concluded that there must be someone on the candidate list closely related to a big shot.

It seemed that the big shot had come to seek justice for someone else.

Although there was not a single penny of the big shot’s money in the hospital, everyone knew that offending him would not end well.

"Mr. Fu graces us with his presence; may I know what brings you here?" Chairman Li hurriedly had tea served.

Fu Xingzhou raised his hand, "No need for tea; after I discuss my business, I will leave."

"Please speak, Mr. Fu."

"Logically speaking, this is an internal matter for your hospital, and I shouldn’t interfere," Fu Xingzhou said while lounging back, his legs crossed. Although claiming it was their issue, his demeanor more so resembled the master of the house, "A few days ago, an aunt mentioned to me about your employee evaluation, expressing quite some dissatisfaction. I am someone who cannot stand to see an elder upset, so I took the liberty of making a trip here to ease an elder’s mind."

Chairman Li thought to himself that it truly was about the evaluation.

The aunt he mentioned, Chairman Li speculated, was very likely Mrs. Qin.

Mrs. Qin had once posted a short essay in her social circle, directly pointing out the unfairness of the hospital’s evaluation. This was well known among the circle of ladies of stature, and he had also heard about it.

But were the Fu Family and the Qin Family that close?

He was indeed ill-informed.

On second thought, the Qin Family had a daughter who just turned twenty this year; perhaps the two families were considering a marriage alliance.

"Mr. Fu, our evaluation this time is based on a voting system, one person, one vote, fair and just."

Fu Xingzhou handed his cigarette to the bodyguard behind him, his eyes twinkling with a mix of amusement and icy intent, "Fair and just?"

Chairman Li felt a chill down his spine at his gaze but kept responding, "Yes, yes."

"I recall Chairman Li has a nephew, referred to by others as Mr. Li."

Chairman Li’s face stiffened.

"I’ve also heard that your nephew likes to play some..."

"Mr. Fu," Chairman Li hastily stood up, interrupting Fu Xingzhou, while the other directors looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what had happened.

And the director responsible for the evaluation bowed his head, not daring to meet the gaze of the seated dignitary.

"Mr. Fu, let’s talk in my office," Chairman Li’s tone carried a hint of pleading, his eyes begging and negotiating as he looked towards Fu Xingzhou.

Mr. Li was his own nephew, and he did not want his nephew’s mess to be known by these directors.

Fu Xingzhou remained motionless, his cool gaze falling on Chairman Li, "I am busy with many matters and have no time for a private chat with Chairman Li. Perhaps Chairman Li could clarify whether this evaluation is to continue with the previous outcomes, or is there another arrangement?"

Seeing that Fu Xingzhou was determined to make him explain, Chairman Li knew he couldn’t evade the issue.

Between his own nephew and Fu Xingzhou, Chairman Li, if he had any brains, knew who to choose.

Fu Xingzhou was definitely not someone he could afford to offend.

"I was on Luhuan Island previously and was unaware of the evaluation. However, rest assured, Mr. Fu, I have always adhered to the principles of fairness and justice. Such an important evaluation wouldn’t be mixed with personal feelings or underhanded manipulations—the voting must be redone."

Fu Xingzhou was clearly satisfied with Chairman Li’s response.

He rose from his seat, and his bodyguard immediately draped him with his overcoat.

"Then I will await the good news."

"Mr. Fu, let me escort you out."

"No need."

The conference room doors closed again, and in the hurried comings and goings of the people, the board had already altered the original results.

Chairman Li gathered his staff and immediately began to develop a new plan without pause.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Ye Yan’s work email received a notification that Bai Chutong had violated the hospital’s regulations and negatively impacted its reputation, so the board of directors decided to revoke her qualification as an outstanding employee. A new round of voting would be held next week.

"Does our hospital have some serious disease?" Xiao Xiao found the email unbelievable after reading it. "How bad was the impact of Bai Chutong’s incident? The hospital didn’t revoke her eligibility during the initial voting, and now, after the voting has concluded and the results have been announced, they suddenly revoke it?"

Ye Yan already knew whose handiwork this was; it must have been Fu Xingzhou putting pressure on the hospital administration.

He said he would provide her with a fair environment. Mr. Fu didn’t break his word.

It wasn’t about directly handing her the award, but about holding another fair and just vote. Gaining honor under these circumstances would be a true testament to her ability.

Ye Yan picked up his phone and sent a message to Fu Xingzhou.

The usually non-responsive person unusually replied in an instant, "Come back to Yuqiao tonight."

The bed in the Grand Hall, Mr. Fu couldn’t get used to sleeping on it. It was too small.

"Mm, are you coming back for dinner tonight?"

"Are you cooking?"

He seemed to have some free time now; his messages were coming back super fast.

"What would you like to eat?"

"I haven’t decided. I’ll pick you up after work."

After work, Ye Yan didn’t take his own car. On the side of the road, a low-key luxury black car was parked there.

He got into the car. The man in the back seat was dealing with work, a business video playing on his laptop screen, while he leaned against the seat, casually smoking.

The window was half-open, and smoke was drifting out.

Ye Yan didn’t want to disturb his work, so he leaned towards the car door as much as possible, fearing that he might accidentally appear on camera.

Fu Xingzhou glanced at him and pointed at the laptop, indicating for him to wait a moment.

The video conference continued until the car finally stopped.

Ye Yan looked out the window and saw a supermarket.

This supermarket was high-end, selling all sorts of expensive ingredients. He had heard his colleagues talk about it but had never entered it before.

Fu Xingzhou chose this place not because it was expensive but because it was less crowded.

The vast supermarket had very few shoppers. It was unclear how it managed to stay open.

Ye Yan went to push a shopping cart, but Fu Xingzhou took it from him immediately, "You choose."

The man in a suit pushing a supermarket cart was both pleasing to the eyes and bizarre.

Indeed, Mr. Fu didn’t belong to the world of daily groceries; even in this upscale supermarket, his distinguished air felt completely out of place.

The two pushed the cart to the fresh meat section.

Ye Yan picked up a box of ribs and gasped at the price after seeing it.

A total of eight ribs, priced at 438.

Was this pig raised in a space station?

"Dr. Ye, what are you daydreaming about?" Fu Xingzhou leaned on the cart, smiling yet not smiling. "Saw a relative?"

Ye Yan turned to glare at him, still hesitant about whether to take the 438-priced box of ribs.

When she saw four lamb chops next to her priced in the four digits, the ribs decisively went into the cart.

The pricing in this supermarket was outrageously expensive.

Clearly aimed at fleecing the gullible.

Fu Xingzhou noticed Ye Yan staring at him and frowned, "What are you looking at?"

"Looking at the gullible."
