Chapter 29 - Her Profile Couldn't Get Her Into FJ Styles

"If you don't want to sleep, it's left for you, but leave my room, I don't want any form of distractions." Fu Hua said to him.

He wanted to work right now, and he knew there was no way his brother would remain quiet as he worked it wasn't possible.

"Brother, do you have a girlfriend?." YingPei asked, but he received a glare from Fu Hua for asking that question.

"Alright... Alright, good night." YingPei said as he raised his hand in surrender, before walking out of the room.

Fu Hua sighed in relief as he glanced at his tightly shut doors. Thinking about his girlfriend, he hadn't heard from her in a while, was she angry with him? He thought...

Picking up his phone from his desk, he checked for messages and missed calls from her, but he didn't see any.

Let his pride get to him, he dialed her number. It rang twice, but nobody answered. He didn't give up and dialed her number again, and this time around, the call got connected.

"Hey!." Fu Hua said.

"Hello, Mr. Fu." Feng Alix greeted in a firmer tone.

"Are you angry with me?." Fu Hua asked.

"How can I? I'm not angry, it's just that I was sleeping before your call woke me up." Feng Alix replied with indifference.

"Are you drinking again?." Fu Hua asked after a moment of silence.

Feng Alix glanced at the beer in her hand before sighing. "How do you know that?." She asked.

"I just know. At least I've known you for a year and I am well aware of your habits. Don't drink too much, and go to sleep early. I just called to check up on you." Fu Hua said to her.

"Good night." Feng Alix said to him just before he disconnected the call.

Keeping his phone aside, Fu Hua got back to work. But just then, he became distracted as he saw a few images on the paper he had in his hand.

His thoughts right now were filled with Jia Li. And the way he remembered her, was the naive part of her.

'Why am I thinking about her?.' He thought. He was confused, because he already had a girlfriend, and Jia Li was not the kind of woman he liked, so why on earth was he thinking about her?

Forcing himself to get rid of those thoughts, he went back to the pile of work he had to do.

As for Feng Alix, she finished the can of beer she had in her hand, before going to sleep.

The next morning, everybody had breakfast at different time intervals, before leaving the house.

Old Mr. Fu had just finished eating when a servant brought his phone to him.

"Master, your phone." The servant said as she left the phone on the table before leaving.

Picking up his phone and checking it out, he saw missed calls from some people and messages. But the only one that caught his attention, was the calls and texts from Jia Li.

"This lass must have been worried about me." Old Mr. Fu said to himself with a smile as he read the texts from Jia Li.

Old Mr. Fu phoned Jia Li after reading her texts.

Jia Li was happy when she got the old man's call, and she kept asking about his health and was relieved to find out everything was okay with him.

Old Mr. Fu and Jia Li conversed for a while. When Fu Lei came to speak to the Old Man about something, he saw him smiling and laughing on the phone.

The last he remembered, the old man doesn't laugh with people over the phone unless he was speaking to an old friend.

"Who is he talking to?." Fu Lei muttered to himself, before walking away.

After the call ended, Old Mr. Fu's face was filled with a happy smile. His countenance made him look approachable, thanks to Jia Li.

After the discussion at the dining table last night, Fu Meixu knew there was no way for her to get into FJ styles with Fu Hua's help, and nobody could interfere with anything that has to do with FJ styles unless Fu Hua gives the permission.

Now knowing that there was no way for her, as she couldn't get in through the backdoor, she went to her agency to talk to them.

Meeting her manager, she asked him to send her profile to FJ styles.

"I thought your family owns FJ styles, so why do you want me to submit your profile when you could just get in through the back door?." Her manager asked with a look of confusion.

"I am so righteous and like straightforwardly doing things. I don't want to be labeled as someone who uses the connection to make way for herself." Fu Meixu lied.

"If you continue having these thoughts, you will not go far in this industry. And besides, I don't think your profile will get you into that place, you are not popular." Her manager said to her in all honesty.

"I know I am not popular, just do what I asked you to do." Fu Meixu said to him in gritted teeth ????.

"Okay." Her manager said as he agreed to submit her profile to FJ styles.

Fu Meixu couldn't bear to say the truth, because she was ashamed. How could she tell her manager, of people that her cousin refused to help her into the company after she pleaded with him? That is so shameful.

And not just her cousin, even her grandfather that had the authority of making leeway for her, disagreed for her to be helped. She could only get into the company, through hard work.

She said she was righteous, but we were far from it. She was only pretending to keep her face.

The worst thing that could happen to her and cause her to be disgraced as if she ended up not getting picked after submitting her profile, would be a huge slap and embarrassment to her.
