The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

"what's up?"

The hazy mirror reflected the man's muscular upper body.

"Shuangshuang, do you remember? The one who called you Big Brother?"

"I remember." Xing Yanzhao had a good impression of the girl. "Ask her when she's free, and I'll treat her to a meal."

Before Luo Huai could speak, the man spoke first.

She nodded: "Okay, I have something to do tomorrow, how about the day after tomorrow? After you get off work."

Xing Yanzhao: "You can choose the location."

Pick and choose.

Zhu Shuangshuang stared intently at Zuixian Restaurant.

Zuixian Restaurant is priced moderately in Ningcheng, but the food is excellent and it's not flashy. Only people who have lived in Ningcheng for many years know about it.

This is probably why Luo Huai could see Ningcheng's second-in-command's private car there; if he spent several tens of millions on a single meal, he would definitely be investigated.

However, it's really hard to get a reservation at their place.

You can only book two weeks in advance, and every time I call, the rooms are fully booked.

Luo Huai had heard Zhu Shuangshuang mention Zuixian Restaurant before, and seeing her lingering there again, he said, "Perhaps we don't need to make a reservation."

"Why?" Zhu Shuangshuang's eyes lit up slightly. "Does your husband have connections?"

Luo Huai didn't immediately understand the words "your husband," and after a moment of hesitation, she said, "Brother Zhao has a private room there."

"Wow!" Zhu Shuangshuang jumped out of bed. "Let's go! Big brother is truly amazing, he has so many connections! I'm finally going to eat at Zuixian Restaurant, which I haven't been able to book in two years!"

She quickly tidied herself up and went over.

Luo Huai sent a message to Xing Yanzhao, who said that he could just go directly there, as Lao Shen had already given the word.

Upon hearing this voice message, Zhu Shuangshuang grabbed Luo Huai and hailed a taxi straight to their destination.

Taxis can't get in.

They need to get off and walk a short distance.

Luo Huai saw Pei Yuanzhou's car in the yard, and the next moment he got out of the car, while his assistant was reporting to him.

"Eight out of ten times, Chaoye Technology and other companies discussed cooperation at Zuixian Restaurant, and President Kuang has also appeared here many times." The owner of Zuixian Restaurant, Mr. Shen, must know the behind-the-scenes boss of Chaoye Technology.

However, this was just the assistant's own judgment; without concrete evidence, he couldn't report it directly to President Pei.

Now, CEO Kuang of Chaoye Technology refuses to see them, so they can't even get through the main gate. They can only go around to Zuixian Restaurant to try and contact Boss Shen.

If Boss Shen could make a connection for them, and then use the behind-the-scenes boss of Chaoye Technology to pressure Boss Kuang and talk to KL, their project might still be saved.

This can already be considered a roundabout way of achieving one's goals.

Now is the time when the Pei family needs to stabilize the situation the most; the project cannot afford to have any problems.

The most direct way is to go to Miss Luo Huai. If Miss Luo Huai can persuade Young Master Xing, and Young Master Xing can then persuade President Kuang, the projects of both the Xing and Pei families can be resolved. Why bother going through all this trouble to inquire about a mysterious behind-the-scenes boss?

Miss Luo Huai simply wouldn't answer Mr. Pei's calls.

Oh dear, how did things get to this point?

As the assistant was thinking, he looked up and saw Miss Luo Huai and Zhu Shuang appear hand in hand. Before he could turn to tell President Pei, President Pei's eyes were already glued to Miss Luo Huai.

Pei Yuanzhou saw Luo Huai halfway through his assistant's report.

The next second, Zhu Shuangshuang shielded Luo Huai behind her.

He remembered that Zhu Shuangshuang used to be the one who pushed Luo Huai into his arms.

The winking and smirking expression he used to have has now turned into a glaring and mocking look.

"Let's go this way." Zhu Shuangshuang pulled Luo Huai away from Pei Yuanzhou.

Pei Yuanzhou seemed not to see them and walked straight towards them.

"Xiao Huai..."

“What Xiao Huai? Mr. Pei, please call our Miss Luo Huai, the eldest young mistress of Xing.” Zhu Shuangshuang was clear about her likes and dislikes, and her joys and sorrows were directly expressed on her face. “Mr. Pei, please step aside.”

Luo Huai also had an indifferent expression.

She didn't even glance at him.

He passed by Pei Yuanzhou.

"Luo Huai!" Pei Yuanzhou turned around and strode up to the two girls, almost blocking their way. He frowned as he looked at Luo Huai's indifferent face.

“Xiao Huai, I know about Youyou having someone break your computer. She has already apologized. If you think that's not enough, I apologize to you too. I hope you can persuade Young Master Xing and President Kuang to let LK continue to cooperate with Pei’s.”

"Ha!" Zhu Shuangshuang laughed in anger. "Was Pei Youyou's apology sincere? It was just that the elders intervened and there was nothing she could do. And was President Pei's apology sincere? Is it just because your company's project is hindered that your company's project is important, and all the grievances Luo Huai has suffered over the years have been for nothing?"

The assistant stepped forward and reprimanded, "Miss Zhu Shuangshuang, please be more polite to our President Pei. This is a matter between the Pei family and Miss Luo Huai, and it's not something an outsider should interfere with."

"So what if I interrupted?" Zhu Shuangshuang was never one to be trifled with. She even dared to point her finger at the famous CEO of the Pei Group and yell, "You only dare to bully Luo Huai because she grew up in your Pei family and try to suppress her with the mountain of ethics and morality."

“You’re just taking advantage of the fact that she has no parents and that she’ll live in Ningcheng forever and won’t be able to fight back against you. I’m not from Ningcheng. My home is far away, in a fourth-tier city. If you’re so capable, why don’t you raise your hands there? At worst, I’ll stay home and learn to make breakfast with my parents and make our family’s breakfast shop a success!”

"Those who have nothing to lose aren't afraid of those who have something to lose!" She confronted her assistant directly, hands on her hips, and said, "Come on, if you're so capable, then immediately issue an order making it impossible for me to make a living anywhere in the country!"

"You!" The assistant had never met such an unreasonable person before. In the end, he said, "A good man doesn't argue with a woman," and silently took a step back.

Pei Yuanzhou's face darkened, and he said to Luo Huai, "I'll let it slide with Zhu Shuangshuang for your sake."

"Come on! Let's settle this! Don't worry about who's better!" Zhu Shuangshuang straightened up and stood in front of Pei Yuanzhou, completely blocking Luo Huai from view.

Pei Yuanzhou was humiliated.

But then she caught a glimpse of Luo Huai reaching out to pull Zhu Shuangshuang's finger, a smile playing on his lips, as he said, "Okay."

Her voice was soft, and she looked adorable.

In the past, when he stood up for Luo Huai, Luo Huai would gently tug at his sleeve, her eyes shining as she looked up at him, her whole being limp and weak.

He would reach out and pat Luo Huai's head.

Back then, Luo Huai was so close to him, but now there's someone between them.

"Xiao Huai." Pei Yuanzhou's gaze flickered for a moment before he brought up his earlier idea again, "Just do it for me, to help the Pei family."

Luo Huai shook his head: "I can't help."

She has no say.

Besides, how could she, an ungraduated student, possibly influence the cooperation between the two parties?

"President Pei, you think too highly of me. Please make way, we'd like to go inside for dinner."

"Luo Huai!" Pei Yuanzhou couldn't stand her coldness towards him, couldn't stand her calling him President Pei, and with bloodshot eyes, he grabbed Luo Huai's wrist again.

Luo Huai didn't loosen his grip despite the pain.

"Luo Huai, how can you be so heartless?"

"Am I the heartless one?" Luo Huai turned around, his eyes burning with intense hatred.

Zhu Shuangshuang hurried into Zuixian Restaurant, glanced at the chairs in the lobby, and dragged them out.

Pei Yuanzhou grabbed Luo Huai's hand: "Where has our Pei family done anything heinous? It's just some petty squabbles."

"Luo Huai, you better watch out! I'm going to teach this scumbag a lesson today!" Zhu Shuangshuang came on fiercely, raising a chair to smash him.

Pei Yuanzhou's assistant rushed over to stop them.

"Shuangshuang!" Luo Huai was afraid that Zhu Shuangshuang would really act impulsively and hurt someone, and she was also afraid that Pei Yuanzhou's assistant would hurt Zhu Shuangshuang. She tried her best to break free from Pei Yuanzhou's restraint.

When both sides are at an impasse.

A person hurried out of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, carrying a thick stack of documents in one hand, which flew around as he walked.

A gust of wind blew, and a page of documents landed directly on Pei Yuanzhou's face.

Pei Yuanzhou angrily grabbed it and took a look.

At the very top is a large title.

—A true account of the bullying by the Pei family's daughter.
