Chapter 587 Interview
Chapter 587 Interview
In a restaurant box, the environment was elegant, Xie Mu and Fu Sheng sat opposite each other.
The waiter brought two cups of tea and said, "Enjoy your meal."
"Thank you."
The waiter left, Xie Mu lowered his eyes and stared at the cup. The amber tea returned to calmness in the halo, just like the atmosphere in the box at the moment.
Fu Sheng leaned back in his chair, picked up the cup and took a sip. Looking at Xie Mu's reserved look, he broke the silence and said, "Are you afraid of me?"
Since they met today, she has been keeping two steps away from him, her whole body tense.
Xie Mu paused, looked up at him, then lowered his eyes and nodded.
In the past, when she was interning at the company, she was also a little afraid of him, that kind of natural awe that employees have for their superiors.
And since she knew that he was the man that night, she could no longer say that she was afraid of him, but rather terrified.
She didn't want to meet him at all unless it was necessary.
"This dessert is very good. I ordered a few. I wonder if they suit your taste."
Xie Mu was surprised by his change of topic and replied, "I saw this restaurant on Dianping.com and wanted to try it. I didn't expect you to book this restaurant."
"What a coincidence! I heard that you are preparing for a software design competition recently? I have participated in it before, so I have some experience."
Xie Mu raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "What topic did you choose at that time?"
"Hmm...if I remember correctly, it's the parallel optimization of the FFT algorithm based on FPGA."
Xie Mu asked curiously, "Did you get the award?"
"First prize."
Xie Mu's eyes widened. "Amazing! Those who can win the first prize are all great. My current goal is to enter the finals and enrich my resume."
Fu Sheng frowned, "What's your topic?"
From what she said, it seems that she will not come to Fu’s after graduation.
"I chose Xingrong Communication's machine learning-based distributed system fault diagnosis system after discussing it with my classmates and teachers. It just so happens that there are teachers in the college who can guide us."
"That's not bad, where are we now?"
"Testing phase."
"went well?"
"It's OK, there are no major loopholes. I hope I can pass the preliminary round first."
The two chatted about the content of the game. Now that they had a common topic, Xie Mu gradually relaxed a little.
Fu Sheng was like her senior, gently imparting to her his competition experience and some cases he encountered in his work.
It was as if he was not the same person as the brutal gangster that night.
But Xie Mu had seen him wearing short sleeves in the summer. His exposed forearms were very white, with smooth muscle lines. When he exerted a little force, each muscle was clearly visible, and the veins were knotted, which was a symbol of strength.
The waiter's knock on the door interrupted the seemingly harmonious atmosphere.
Exquisite dishes were served on the table one by one.
Fu Sheng signaled the waiter to put the dessert next to Xie Mu, "Try it and see how it tastes."
"Okay, thank you."
Fu Sheng also picked up his chopsticks and prepared to eat.
Generally speaking, it's time to get down to business.
Xie Mu was mentally prepared.
As expected, Fu Sheng asked, "Why didn't you call the police at that time? In order to complete the transaction with my second brother?"
He looked calm, as if asking what to eat tomorrow.
"Yes." Xie Mu nodded, "My dad needs surgery, and I need that money."
If she had the chance again, she would make the same choice.
"What are your plans next? I'd like to hear your opinion."
"Graduate successfully and find a job."
"What about Xiao Heng's custody rights?"
"Stay at your place. I reserve the right to visit you."
Fu Sheng raised his eyebrows, "I thought you would fight for it."
After all, she chose to give birth to the child, which must have been what she wanted. And after she discovered what Xie Min was doing, she came to him immediately, which shows that she must care about the child very much.
"To be realistic, if it was someone else, I would definitely fight for it. I have thought about it seriously, and given my current situation, it is the best option for him to stay with you."
When Xie Mu decided to give birth to Xiao Heng, he planned to raise him alone.
But by chance, she found Xiaoheng's biological father, and she had to consider more - for example, she forced Xiaoheng to stay with her and live an ordinary life, but when Xiaoheng grew up, he found out that his biological father was a rich man, which made him feel disappointed. Perhaps, if she disciplined and educated Xiaoheng, and Fu Sheng only needed to take him out for a meal, Xiaoheng would like him more.
In terms of material wealth, she is definitely not as good as Fu Sheng. In terms of spiritual aspect, Fu Sheng is not bad either, so it is better to let go and be the one who occasionally takes Xiao Heng out to play and experience ordinary life.
"That's fine if you think so. You don't have to pay child support. What kind of compensation do you want? Just ask for it."
"Since Manager Fu has spoken, I won't be polite," Xie Mu had been sitting here for so long, waiting for him to say this.
It was his fault at the beginning of the matter, and she had been pregnant for several months and had finally given birth to the child, so it was impossible for her to give the child away for nothing.
Xie Mu is a realistic person. Xiao Heng can grow up without worries, and she and her father can also improve their lives. It's really killing two birds with one stone.
"I wonder if Manager Fu has the authority to deal with the house that my father and I rent?" she said.
Although it is an old residential complex, it has a good location and the unit price is not cheap.
"Of course you can, but that suite is too small, with only two rooms, and the living room is too small. Think about it, when Xiaoheng grows up and wants to stay there for a few days, there won't be any room." Fu Sheng looked into Xie Mu's eyes seriously.
"...What you said makes sense."
"What do you want in a house? I can see if there's a suitable one."
“Try to be closer to the school so that it is convenient to buy things and the infrastructure is more complete.”
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out."
"Well, thank you."
Xie Mu lowered his head and ate his food. "Do you have anything else to ask?"
"Does uncle know? Should I go see him?"
Xie Mu was almost choked, "Ahem...don't...don't do it...he can't stand the stimulation now."
"Okay, I won't go recently, but he will know Xiao Heng's identity sooner or later."
"When he gets better, I'll find a chance to tell him..." Xie Mu had a headache.
Her father always thought that she got pregnant because of the wrong friendship and her boyfriend's unwillingness to take responsibility. If he knew the truth, he would definitely be furious again.
"if……"
"correct……"
They both said in unison and stopped at the same time.
Fu Sheng said, "You speak first."
"Manager Fu, in the eyes of your relatives and friends, Xiaoheng's mother is Minmin. Now it has become me. There must be a reasonable reason."
"I'll find a way... Well, there is a simplest way..."
"what way?"
"I guess you won't agree."
"Let's talk about it first."
"Isn't it reasonable for us to get married?" Fu Sheng raised his eyebrows.
"Impossible." Xie Mu rejected it subconsciously and firmly.
Realizing that her reaction was a bit extreme, she curled her lips and said, "Manager Fu, what I mean is..."
"No need to explain, I understand."
