Chapter 1575: Shopping

Leaving the restaurant, Zhao Fusheng and Yu Feihong got into his car.

Your suitor?

Zhao Fusheng didn't beat around the bush and asked Yu Feihong directly.

Given their relationship, Zhao Fusheng naturally had no need to hide anything; besides, Yu Feihong's behavior just now had already proven that she wasn't deliberately using him as a shield.

In other words, running into that Liu Ming today was purely coincidental.

Hearing Zhao Fusheng's question, Yu Feihong smiled bitterly and nodded, explaining the relationship between Liu Ming and herself, saying, "This guy really thinks too highly of himself. Who does he take me for, someone he can summon and dismiss at will?"

Zhao Fusheng was speechless.

Some people are like that, always trying to impose their own ideas on others. In short, they have an inflated sense of self.

Just like this Liu Ming.

Ignore him.

Zhao Fusheng said calmly, "If he causes you trouble, call Zheng Yao or Ye Jing."

Although he didn't know the other party's background, in his view, since he didn't even dare to leave his name with Zhao Fusheng and Yu Feihong, he definitely wasn't some big shot.

Moreover, Zhao Fusheng didn't recall ever hearing the name Liu Ming, so he directly categorized him as a nobody not worth bothering with.

Mm, I know.

Yu Feihong nodded, not refusing Zhao Fusheng's goodwill.

Although she knew she would try her best to resolve the matter herself without troubling Zheng Yao or Ye Jing.

That was her nature—she would never trouble others with problems she could solve on her own.

Something like today was purely an accident.

Come on, big sister is in a bad mood today. How about going shopping with me?

Yu Feihong said, smiling at Zhao Fusheng.

Zhao Fusheng was taken aback, then nodded with a grin, "Sure, today you can buy whatever you want, and I'll foot the bill."

No kidding!

Sister Feihong rolled her eyes at Zhao Fusheng. "With a tycoon like you here, of course I'll make you pay."

...

...

This was the busiest area in the capital—a commercial street, a shopping paradise. In short, this place had the most shopping malls in the entire capital.

As a consumption-intensive area, it wasn't so upscale that only social elites and dignitaries could enter, yet the goods here were just enough to cater to the slightly inflated material desires and vanity of the middle class. Therefore, most of the capital's middle class were satisfied with such a place that had class but wasn't unaffordable.

Dense crowds, a dazzling array of goods, adjacent shopping centers, and the occasional minor friction—such a place was indeed perfect for a leisurely stroll.

Why didn't we go to a big mall?

Walking down the street with Yu Feihong, who wore sunglasses, and surrounded by hidden bodyguards, Zhao Fusheng asked her curiously.

Don't you think shopping here is more fun?

Yu Feihong blinked, looking smug. Clearly, she was enjoying this feeling.

Zhao Fusheng looked helpless. He knew he shouldn't have agreed to go shopping with her.

No matter what kind of woman, once she starts shopping, she becomes terrifying—even a goddess like Yu Feihong was no exception.

Come on, let's go to the baby用品 store. I want to buy clothes for your daughter.

Yu Feihong completely ignored Zhao Fusheng's expression and said to him.

Zhao Fusheng was instantly speechless. Since she was using the excuse of buying clothes for his precious daughter, he couldn't very well refuse.

Helpless, Zhao Fusheng had no choice but to obediently follow Yu Feihong into the mother-and-baby store.

Their grand entrance surprised the salesclerks inside. Especially when Yu Feihong took off her sunglasses, the clerk clearly recognized her. Then she glanced at Zhao Fusheng and the bodyguards behind him, blinked, and seemed to get the wrong idea.

Sis, we've already bought enough clothes for your niece up to age two.

Watching Yu Feihong pick out clothes, Zhao Fusheng said helplessly.

This was true. As the sole heir of Wanda and Future Group, that little girl had been adored by the world since birth. All the top executives of Future Group, whether Zheng Yao or Dong Chenxi, whether out of personal friendship with Zhao Fusheng and Fan Baobao or out of their own regard for the little princess, had expressed their affection for the child in their own ways.

Not to mention Zhao's parents and Li Yuan, who doted on the girl to the bone.

They say poverty limits one's imagination. Zhao Fusheng hadn't quite understood that before, but now he was gradually gaining some insight.

Why do you care so much?

Yu Feihong shot Zhao Fusheng a glare. "What others buy is theirs; what I buy is mine."

Zhao Fusheng was utterly speechless. He really couldn't understand women's thinking.

Miss Yu, what age is the child you're buying clothes for?

The salesclerk walked over and asked Yu Feihong politely.

She had overheard their conversation and understood that they were buying clothes for a relative's child.

Two months old.

Yu Feihong said with a smile.

About how tall is a two-month-old baby?

Since this was a mother-and-baby store, the staff naturally had good patience. The clerk began patiently introducing their products to Yu Feihong.

Of course, she must have been getting a sales commission; otherwise, why would she be so diligent?

Bored, Zhao Fusheng didn't bother listening and instead wandered to the entrance to chat with Hu Donghai.

Old Hu, what do you think about the company opening a chain of mother-and-baby stores?

Zhao Fusheng asked casually.

Hu Donghai was taken aback, then shook his head. "That doesn't seem like a good idea."

Oh? You think it's not profitable?

Zhao Fusheng was a bit surprised. He hadn't expected his bodyguard Hu Donghai to have such an opinion.

No, how would I know if it's profitable?

Hu Donghai shook his head, not hiding his thoughts from Zhao Fusheng. He said calmly, "Chairman, didn't you say that the company's business must be specialized and not go about things haphazardly like before?"

Zhao Fusheng was stunned. He never expected to be lectured by Hu Donghai.

To be precise, Hu Donghai wasn't lecturing him but repeating what Zhao Fusheng himself had once said.

Forget it. A man without integrity cannot stand.

After a long silence, Zhao Fusheng sighed helplessly. "Since I said that, I have to follow the rules."

Hu Donghai's words reminded him!

For a long time, Zhao Fusheng had been reflecting on why Future Group had ended up in its current state. On careful thought, he was inextricably linked to all of this.

Rebirth had brought him foresight, allowing him to stay one, two, three, or even dozens of steps ahead of others. But at the same time, it had made him like a bear picking corn—dazzled by too many choices.

He did whatever was profitable, and whenever he thought of an industry, he would jump in.

While this approach had diversified Future Group, it had also hindered the company's scaling.

That was why Zhao Fusheng had chosen to make each subsidiary responsible for its own profits and losses. He knew that if they continued as before, Future Group could never become a super conglomerate.

There are gains and losses—that's a choice everyone has to face.

What are you two chatting about?

At that moment, Yu Feihong turned around and said to Zhao Fusheng, "Come over and pick out clothes for your daughter."

Shrugging, Zhao Fusheng had to set aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind. Heaven and earth may be vast, but his precious daughter was the most important—that was the meaning of his existence now.

Before his daughter was born, Zhao Fusheng hadn't felt it so strongly. But now that she was here, he truly felt that life had new meaning.
