Chapter 114 - Fu Hua Tells Jia Li The Harsh Realities Of Getting Into FJ
"When will you be through with your studies?." Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.
"Mmmm... my final exams will be starting soon, in a few weeks." Jia Li replied.
"Have you thought of where you want to work?." Fu Hua asked.
"I haven't talked about it, but grandfather asked to co over to FJ once I'm through with school." Jia Li replied but hesitated a little before adding as she didn't know if he was angry.
"If you don't like it, I will ask grandfather to let work in another place." Jia Li said in a soft tone as she looked downwards.
"I didn't say anything. If you are coming over to FJ, then you must prepare your heart and your mind to be strong. You are only a young designer who will be graduating in a few weeks. You don't have work experience, and FJ is really not a place for you. You don't look like a strong woman to , so I doubt your capabilities if you will be able to survive in FJ." Fu Hua said to her with the sincerity of his heart.
.He didn't an to be harsh on her, as he was only telling her the truth about the realities of life.
Jia Li felt tensed as she listened to Fu Hua.
"Grandfather May think he's doing a good thing for you by allowing you to co work in a place as prestigious as FJ, but it's actually going to be a very tough journey for you. At work, you are my employee, and I can't help you, so you've got to protect yourself as you can't go against your direct Boss." Fu Hua said to her and sighed in the end.
Jia Li looked downcasted as she thought about the truth Fu Hua just said to her.
Of course, FJ was not a place for everybody. Only experts or the best experiences could get in there. But who was she?
She was just soone with no work experience who would enter FJ Styles. She may be bullied, or not allowed to shine and forever remain under the shadows if she was not lucky.
Seeing Jia Li's mode change, Fu Hua apologized.
"I didn't an to be outspoken and be that harsh to you. I was only trying to let you know what you are about signing up for. But you're a grown woman, so why do you let my grandfather make decisions for you?." Fu Hua asked.
Slowly looking up at him, Jia Li replied, "Grandfather is like my only parent, and he has raised for the past year. He has been so good to , so I have to listen to him since he knows what is best for ."
"Including getting married to ?" Fu Hua asked as his sight narrowed.
Jia Li waved her hands as she tried to explain, "I tried to get grandfather to cancel his proposal, but he didn't listen to . And that was the first ti I was refusing sothing from him."
"That's in the past now. From now onwards, you need to learn how to voice your opinion and get soone to do your bidding. If you don't master this act, you may turn into a slave or soone that is easy and can be used by anyone." Fu Hua said in a kind reminder.
"Thank you!" Jia Li muttered in a low tone.
Sighing, Fu Hua asked her to finish the food before her. And while staring at her, he felt he brought up the topic at the wrong ti because she seed to be in a bad mood.
"Jia Li, if you want anything, you can tell about it instead of going to grandfather. If I'm not too busy, I will help you out directly or ask soone to help you with it." Fu Hua said to her as he tried to redy the situation.
"Thank you!." Jia Li said with jer gaze on the ice cream that was lting.
"Do you want to see your friends?." Fu Hua asked.
This ti around, Jia Li looked at him as her eyes brightened a little.
"I will help you et with your friends, but that may be after your exams since you need maximum concentration." Fu Hua said.
"Thank you!." Jia Li said with a small smile. She hasn't t with her friends since she ca to live with the Fu Family. Now that Fu Hua promised to help her et with them, she was happy, and she forgot about her worries and finished up everything he ordered for her.
Fu Hua finally relaxed when he saw Jia Li eating happily again.
On their way ho, he asked her to make a list of the things she wanted to do, and the places she wanted to visit.
"If I have the ti so other day, I will. ring you out to those places."
When Fu Hua and Jia Li arrived ho, Fu Hua was not around, as she had already left for her appointnt with Mrs. Bai.
Fu Hee was on tenterhooks when she got to the venue she booked. She ordered a hot tea while waiting for Mrs. Bai to arrive.
At last, when Bai Fen arrived, Fu Hee smiled and hugged her in greeting.
"Fu Hee, you looked as if you lost so weight these few days." Bai Fen said she sat down with her gaze on Fu Hee.
"I've been under a lot of stress lately, so I'm not surprised." Fu Hee replied as beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead.
"As the Mistress of the Fu family, I understand that things are not so easy for you to handle, but you need to rest and don't exert yourself. By the way, what is that Fu ChunHua doing, can't she assist you to arrange so things?." Bai Fen asked with a frown.
"As the Mistress of the house, I have to be in charge, and the of man trusts , so I can't just order everyone around in case the plan to sabotage ." Fu Hee lied smoothly.
"I understand, but still you need to take it easy with your health." Bai Fen said as she pats her hand.
"I know, thank you!." Fu Hee said with a slight smile as she took out a handkerchief from her bag.
Bai Fen poured so tea for herself from the ceramic tea jug on the table as she asked, "You called out today, and I guess it's sothing important, what is it?."
