Chapter 70: Wan Yue Specifically Requested My Company
Menu
Damon’s call was disconnected. The conference room fell silent.Damon felt a wave of icy anger. Wan Yue was playing games again.How long would this go on?His dark eyes were filled with suppressed fury. He tried calling her again.This time, an automated voice responded:The number you dialed is unavailable.She’d blocked him!
He took a deep breath, looking at the stunned shareholders.
“I’ll call Wan Yue,” Fu Lingyue said, drawing everyone’s attention.He made the call, putting it on
peakerphone.Everyone held their breath.
The call connected.
“Professor Fu, did you know I won?” Wan Yue’s voice was bright with excitement.Damon was startled; he’d never heard her sound so joyful.
“Congratulations,” Fu Lingyue replied, his tone neutral.
“Jiang Wan Yue!” Damon’s voice was low.“You hung up on me!”
Wan Yue paused.
“Professor Fu, I hope you’ll reconsider my previous request.”
Damon’s jaw tightened.She’d ignored him!She’d done it on purpose! Fine, she wanted him to plead, didn’t she?
He controlled his breathing.“Wan Yue, let’s have dinner.“He hadn’t expected to make concessions. This was the most he could offer after their divorce.
Wan Yue’s voice, amplified through the speakerphone, asked, “Would Professor Fu join us for dinner?”
Damon found it amusing.She was shy, wanting company. She was afraid of facing him alone, intimidated by her own feelings.If they dined alone, she might lose control.He’d indulge her,
“Uncle will join us…”
“Okay, see you tonight.”
Wan Yue readily agreed, worried Fu Lingyue might change his mind.
Damon, arms crossed, smiled. She was eager to see him. The shareholders breathed a collective sigh of relief.
“She agreed to dinner, meaning she’s interested in joining Fu Corporation!”
“Damon, good job! You might not be husband and wife, but you can be colleagues.”
Damon said respectfully to Fu Lingyue, “Uncle, Wan Yue is being childish. I’ll handle this
tomorrow.”
“I’m taking the day off tomorrow,” Fu Lingyue said.“Since Wan Yue specifically requested my company, I’ll go.”
Chongde Elite School, Playground:
“Timmy, join our team!” several children called.
Timmy, hands on hips, declared, “Our team name is Lunar Team!Lunar is the club of Luna,

China’s top female racer.She’s coming to my house for her car, and I’ll be her apprentice!” The other children were unimpressed.He’d been talking about Luna since the race.At first, it was interesting, but now, it was tiresome.He’d been saying Luna was coming to his house, but she never did.
Timmy, noticing some children approaching Zhou Zhou, warned, “Anyone who teams up with Jiang Yingzhou has to clean the equipment room after class!”
No one dared to approach Zhou Zhou.The gym teacher indulged Timmy, making him the equipment manager.Seeing Zhou Zhou and Mu Yu Xuan in a team of two, he called
t, “Softball requires five people per team! Join other groups.”
The children protested, refusing to join Zhou Zhou’s team.
“Jiang Yingzhou will cheat like her mother! We won’t play with her!“They’d overheard snippets of the scandal.
Zhou Zhou stood alone. Since becoming Jiang Yingzhou, she was isolated.She bit her lip.She promised her mother she’d persevere.
She raised her hand.“I can be a team of one.”
The teacher scoffed.“Jiang Yingzhou, you need to reflect on why no one wants to play with you.“He blew his whistle.“The winning team gets a red flower!”
Timmy, acting like a general, commanded his team.“Protect me!”
His team narrowly won.During Zhou Zhou’s match, Fu Pan’er cheered her on Zhou Zhou flawlessly received the ball, scoring point after point against five opponents. The teacher dropped his whistle.
“Teacher, they’re all down,” Zhou Zhou announced, pointing to the exhausted children.
“What’s the score?” he asked Fu Pan’er.
“32 to 0!”
Zhou Zhou hadn’t missed a single ball in the five–minute game.Timmy, having lost, yelled, “That doesn’t count!Rematch!”
