Chapter 187 : Bai Xuan Joins the Company

Madam Fu invoked filial piety, and given Fu Sichan’s strong sense of loyalty, he had no room to refuse.

His thin lips pressed into a straight line, clearly in a bad mood.

He said coldly, “Grandma, she is an outsider. The secretary position involves our family’s business secrets, and it’s not appropriate for outsiders to intrude.”

“You have a point. I’ll discuss it with Old Man Bai later and draft a new position for Xuan’er.”

Madam Fu made some concessions, agreeing that Bai Xuan would not be Fu Sichan’s personal secretary.

However, she was determined to have Bai Xuan enter the Fu Group.

For this matter, the two of them engaged in a cold war for three days.

One day, a servant called Fu Sichan:

“Sir, please listen to the old lady. She hasn’t been eating well or sleeping properly these past few days. At her age, her health is deteriorating.”

Fu Sichan, who valued filial duty, became anxious upon hearing this.

“How is Grandma? Did she have a doctor come to see her?”

“A family doctor has already been called. He said there’s nothing serious, but at her age, we must be careful about everything.”

Fu Sichan postponed his company matters and rushed to the old residence as quickly as he could.

Upon arriving, he found Madam Fu lying in bed, looking as though she had aged several years in just a few days.

“Sichan, please agree to your grandmother’s request. If not, how will I explain this to your grandfather in the afterlife?”

When an elder speaks so earnestly, rejecting their request would be seen as unfilial.

For the sake of his grandmother, Fu Sichan ultimately conceded.

“Grandma, I agree to let her join the company. You need to take care of your health first.”

Madam Fu held his hand, a kind smile on her aged face.

“I’m sorry to put Yunyao through this. After this matter is resolved, I’ll make it up to her.”

…

Thus, Bai Xuan successfully joined the Fu Group.

She actively chose a department closest to the president’s office.

This way, Fu Sichan would see her first every time he left his office.

Colleagues began to gossip privately.

“Who is this Bai Xuan? How did she manage to jump straight to the headquarters?”

“We all climbed up from the branch offices. Why does she get to bypass the steps? Did she take the back door?”

“I have a bold guess… haven’t you noticed that President Fu has been acting strangely lately?”

“Strangely? How so?”

“President Fu used to be known for being a workaholic, but recently he leaves the office early as if there’s something important at home. And remember the last meeting? His computer accidentally played a video about caring for pregnant women, does that not say something?”

As a result, the way everyone looked at Bai Xuan gradually changed.

It seemed President Fu had indeed found a special someone!

Maybe this newly appointed Miss Bai is actually President Fu’s other half.

Bai Xuan approached the department head and asked, “Excuse me, what will my job responsibilities be?”

The manager, thinking she was the president’s wife, dared not assign her any heavy tasks.

“The department isn’t busy lately, so just familiarize yourself with some basic work for now.”

The manager assigned her only light tasks, fearing he might offend the future president’s wife.

Bai Xuan felt right at home at the Fu Group.

One day, Fu Sichan had just come out of his office when Bai Xuan immediately approached him, saying softly, “Senior, I’d like to visit Grandma at the old residence today. Would you come with me?”

Fu Sichan’s expression was cold. “No.”

“Alright, I’ll take good care of Grandma for you.”

His gaze didn’t even linger on her face, as if he didn’t recognize her at all.

He walked past her indifferently.

However, Bai Xuan didn’t feel discouraged.

She didn’t ask for much, just a chance to see her senior more often. After all, he was someone she had cherished since her school days.

Being able to see him was a gift from heaven.

Witnessing this scene, the colleagues were even more convinced that Bai Xuan was the “president’s wife.”

“She just called President Fu ‘Senior’! How explosive! It seems they were together in school.”

“But why do I feel that President Fu’s attitude toward her is quite cold? He doesn’t seem to welcome her.”

“Definitely to avoid suspicion. He’s icy at work, but they might be really close privately.”

“That makes sense. Plus, President Fu’s naturally cold demeanor likely extends to his wife too.”

While everyone was chatting idly, Bai Xuan walked past them.

The colleagues looked somewhat awkward. “Miss Bai.”

Just a moment of gossip, and the main character overheard them. Talk about bad luck.

Bai Xuan politely nodded. “Hello.”

She wore a gentle smile, looking quite endearing.

Although she heard their speculations and discussions, she didn’t feel the need to explain.

Her demeanor only solidified everyone’s belief that she was indeed the future president’s wife!

“It seems we were right. If Miss Bai isn’t President Fu’s girlfriend, why didn’t she clarify just now?”

“Yeah, this is pretty much confirmed.”

“Manager, maybe assign fewer tasks to Miss Bai? She might be pregnant and shouldn’t overexert herself.”

After discussion, everyone unanimously believed that Bai Xuan was the “little pregnant woman” that President Fu had been thinking about.

It turned out that the videos he watched at work about caring for pregnant women were all for Bai Xuan!

…

As for the happenings at the company, Lu Yunyao was unaware.

Fu Sichan had originally planned to tell her about it, but upon seeing her innocent and clueless expression, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Telling her would only make her upset, and could even cause her distress during pregnancy.

For now, it was enough to just treat Bai Xuan like air and keep her at the company.

Whenever Bai Xuan can’t stand his neglect anymore, he’ll just leave.

Lu Yunyao curiously asked, “Mr, what are you thinking about?”

Fu Sichan tucked away his thoughts. “Nothing.”

He casually pulled her onto his lap and said with satisfaction, “Seems a bit heavier, but good job, keep it up.”

His tone was like that of someone watching their carefully nurtured little cabbage finally grow up.

While others wanted slender girlfriends, he was the opposite, making sure she ate on time every day to gain some weight.

Lu Yunyao couldn’t help but smile, her eyes sparkling.

“Mr, aren’t you afraid I’ll get overweight?”

Fu Sichan lifted her slightly to gauge her weight.

“With your little frame, you’re far from overweight. Even if you did gain a bit, it’s not a problem. I’ll help you get back to a healthy weight.”

The Fu family had professional nutritionists and fitness trainers.

Even if Lu Yunyao gained a lot of weight after having the baby, she could quickly lose it again.

Of course, Fu Sichan was more concerned about her health than her figure.

As long as it didn’t affect her health, he felt more at ease if the little girl was just a bit chubbier.
