After Nan Shiqing left, she closed the office door, leaving Fu Siye alone.
He didn't rush to work, but instead sat at his desk, picked up his phone, and dialed Mu Teng.
"Mr. Fu," Mu Teng's voice was respectful, waiting for Fu Siye's instructions.
Fu Siye's expression was indifferent, and he said in a deep voice, "Tell me about how I fainted today."
Mu Teng's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately responded, "Miss Nan told me that you suddenly fainted. I rushed over in a hurry and happened to see her calling Miss Mu. Miss Mu arrived about fifteen minutes later and took your pulse."
At this point, Mu Teng hesitated, clearly debating whether to disclose the entire situation.
However, in reality, it wasn't as simple as he thought. Fu Siye had already sensed that Nan Shiqing had something to say but didn't. It was obvious she hadn't revealed the specific details of what had just happened.
He spoke in a deep voice, "You'd better tell me the whole process honestly."
Mu Teng was startled, not expecting Fu Siye to say that.
But thinking of… what Nan Shiqing might have said earlier, he dared not lie and could only recount the entire process.
Throughout the entire process, his body was tense. Even though he wasn't in front of Fu Siye, he could feel a chilling coldness emanating from the receiver, a bone-chilling pain.
Clearly, Mr. Fu was unhappy!
But…
But this was something Mu Yinyin had done, and it had nothing to do with him.
Especially when he described Mu Yinyin's words advising Fu Siye to rest well…
— Mu Yinyin: "Go and persuade your Mr. Fu to focus on work and not rest for a long time. The frequency of these episodes will increase, and it's possible that one day you might really not recover."
He had wanted to say this euphemistically just now, but thinking of Fu Siye's instructions, he could only tell the truth.
Fu Siye was amused to the point of anger.
And she didn't even prescribe any medicine.
Mu Yinyin truly knew how to save him money!
Very good!
Damn woman, she was very good!
Mu Teng felt awkward. At this moment, he didn't know whether to hang up or not, but holding the phone seemed inappropriate.
Just as he took a few deep breaths, Fu Siye spoke directly, "Now, you call Mu Yinyin and tell her that after I woke up, I fainted again."
"Ah…?" Mu Teng seemed not to have heard clearly and instinctively uttered this sound. But feeling an even stronger chill, he quickly said, "Okay, okay!"
Fu Siye hung up the phone directly.
Mu Teng, at this moment, had already wiped the cold sweat from his face with extreme helplessness and dialed Mu Yinyin's number again.
"Assistant Mu?" Mu Yinyin's voice carried a hint of doubt. Although she had a bad impression of Fu Siye, she bore no ill will towards his assistant.
"Cough…" Mu Teng was a bit embarrassed. Although he often used tactics in business to lie to merchants, he… he really wasn't lying with his eyes open in such a matter.
Now, deceiving someone like this, his conscience was uneasy!
"What's wrong?" Mu Yinyin sensed that something was amiss and asked again.
Mu Teng didn't dare to be vague. After all, he couldn't hesitate to lie about Fu Siye fainting, or it would seem even more fake.
He immediately said, "Miss Mu, do you have time now? Mr. Fu has fainted again. His condition seems quite serious. Can you come and see him again? Mr. Fu is still at the company."
"Again?"
Mu Teng quickly responded, "Yes, he just woke up for a moment, but then fainted again."
Mu Yinyin frowned slightly and sneered, "Then let him sleep for a while longer. Don't worry, he won't die."
Mu Teng: "…"
Mr. Fu wanted him to call Mu Yinyin, which was undoubtedly to have Mu Yinyin come over again. But Miss Mu was telling Mr. Fu to keep sleeping…
This, this wouldn't do. He took a deep breath and quickly said again, "Miss Mu, Mr. Fu has never had such a physical condition before. Can you, can you take a look at him again? If you're here, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Just now, the old madam called Mr. Fu, and I was the one who answered. If she calls again and I'm the one answering, the old madam might get suspicious and worried."
Mu Teng spoke with a solemn demeanor.
But he was starting to admire himself. The beginning is always the hardest. Once this lie is told, telling a second lie isn't impossible.
Mu Yinyin frowned, her expression carrying a hint of coldness, "I said, he's fine."
"But… but the old madam just said she'll call him back later. I, I don't know what to do anymore, Miss Mu, please…" Mu Teng's words were earnest, his voice filled with pleading, completely lowering his stance.
Mu Yinyin frowned.
Sensing Mu Yinyin's silence and hesitation, Mu Teng quickly spoke again, "The old madam has always been very concerned about Mr. Fu. I, I'm afraid the old madam will find out something, and her health might not withstand it."
"Might not withstand it…" Mu Yinyin unconsciously repeated these words, seeming to have a headache.
Mu Teng knew there was a chance and quickly tried to persuade her again, "Please!"
"Alright, I'll come over now."
"Okay, okay!!" Mu Teng said this and nothing else.
In normal circumstances, he should have sent someone to pick up Mu Yinyin, but the situation was critical, and this time Mu Yinyin had to come by herself.
Half an hour later, Mu Yinyin arrived at Fu Corporation again.
She felt like she had just left not long ago and was already back.
As soon as she got out of the car, someone spotted her and immediately took a picture of her entering the company, sending it to Nan Shiqing.
Nan Shiqing was at home watching a drama when she suddenly saw the picture and sprang up from the sofa.
He Xia was startled and immediately looked at her, "What are you doing?"
But after speaking, she saw Nan Shiqing's exceptionally displeased face and asked again, "What's wrong?"
"Mu Yinyin went to Fu Corporation!! My friend happened to see it and sent me a photo!" Nan Shiqing said, then immediately handed her phone to He Xia. He Xia saw the photo, frowned slightly, and said displeasedly, "This Mu Yinyin, does she have any shame?"
"Mom! This won't do!!!" Nan Shiqing became anxious again.
He Xia looked at her and said in a deep voice, "Didn't Fu Siye say he would ask you out tomorrow?"
"Even though he said that, it doesn't mean he'll actually do it!" Nan Shiqing's trust in Fu Siye was extremely low now.
"Even if she goes, there's nothing you can do, you can't stop her, nor can you say anything," He Xia gazed at Nan Shiqing and said in a deep voice, "What you need to do now is to maximize Fu Siye's guilt towards you, so your health…"
Nan Shiqing looked at her mother thoughtfully, not understanding, "What do you mean?"
