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

The woman's words provoked Pei Yuanzhou.

He was so lost in thought that he spent all day in a daze.

He didn't understand why he was calling out Luo Huai's name in bed.

Luo Huai was just his younger sister.

younger sister……

The more I think about it, the worse it feels.

He thought one person's words couldn't be trusted, so he called his assistant.

"Tell me, do I often call out Luo Huai's name? Especially after drinking."

Ever since his previous female secretary crossed the line, he replaced her with a male assistant. The assistant has been with him for over three years and has accompanied him to many social events, so he must know a lot about it.

The assistant said, "Mr. Pei, you always call out Ms. Luo Huai's name when you drink."

Pei Yuanzhou asked incredulously, "Every time?"

The assistant confirmed, "Yes, every time."

"It started three years ago?"

"As far as I know, even earlier."

Pei Yuanzhou grew restless. "When?"

"When Mr. Pei's previous secretary took over, she mentioned that Mr. Pei had only recently taken over the company, and Miss Luo Huai was just a freshman in college, and you..."

"explain."

"You were drunk and insisted that Miss Luo Huai pick you up. Miss Luo Huai went to pick you up, and you... kissed Miss Luo Huai." The assistant secretly wiped away a cold sweat. Miss Luo Huai was someone that President Pei personally pushed out to marry in place of his sister. "I don't know the specifics. I can contact the former secretary to come and see President Pei."

"No need." Pei Yuanzhou's grip on the pen tightened little by little.

Once someone mentioned it, his previously fragmented memories flooded into his mind like a burst dam.

It was indeed Luo Huai's first semester of freshman year.

He remembered it was also in mid-to-late October.

Luo Huai, wearing a white hoodie and with her hair casually tied up, looked damp and cool as she squatted in front of him and softly called out, "Brother Yuanzhou."

He cupped Luo Huai's face in his hands and kissed her.

Pei Yuanzhou's thin lips parted slightly, as if that soft touch had just happened.

……

Xing family.

Pei Youyou, dressed casually and carrying a bowl of hot soup, appeared outside Xing Zhengyu's office once again. Her secretary stopped her apologetically.

"Ms. Pei, Mr. Xing is currently interviewing his assistant."

"They recruited so quickly? Are they male or female?" Pei Youyou peeked inside, though she couldn't actually see anything.

The secretary replied, "They're all men."

Pei Youyou smiled; she knew that Zheng Yu would listen to her.

She really wanted to watch Zheng Yu choose an assistant, but what happened last night was indeed her fault, and she came here today to apologize, so it was best not to barge in again so easily.

Pei Youyou waited obediently outside, much to the surprise of her secretaries, who dared not utter a sound. They merely exchanged glances and continued working.

About ten minutes later, the office door opened, and two men in well-tailored suits came out first, looking dejected; it seemed they had failed to be selected.

A moment later, a handsome young man in his early twenties walked out, smiling, and greeted President Pei Youyou as "Madam."

As he passed by, Pei Youyou smelled a faint fragrance and thought to herself that this person not only had good taste but was also very clean. Looking closely at his face, she noticed that his skin was also quite good.

The secretary took the boy directly to complete the onboarding process.

Pei Youyou knew that from now on he would be Xing Zhengyu's assistant, and nodded in satisfaction. This was much better than Liu Ying, that thirty-year-old woman who was still unwanted.

"Brother Zhengyu." Pei Youyou carried the things in and put them on the table. She then sat on Xing Zhengyu's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said coquettishly, "What happened last night was my fault. I brought you some soup that my housekeeper made. It's very delicious."

Xing Zhengyu was very pleased with her coquettishness and flattery.

Even the high and mighty Pei family heiress had no choice but to fawn over him.

Last night's events did upset Yu Shao and the other company staff, but it wasn't anything earth-shattering.

People from other companies dared not disrespect him, and they would eagerly await cooperation from the Xing family.

As for Yu Shao.

Yu Shao might make a note of this, but if he does, it'll be about Pei Youyou, and he'll be mentioned in passing.

The project bidding process was not something Yu Shao could decide, and the Xing family was strong enough to secure the contract.

Yu Shao simply wanted to see how things were between him and Xing Yanzhao. Fortunately, Xing Yanzhao had never seen anything like this before and remained as quiet as a quail. Apart from drinking and later making a sarcastic remark to him and Pei Youyou, he didn't do anything out of line.

They were like brothers, loving and respectful to each other.

Xing Zhengyu felt better after figuring this out, especially since the assistant he had just hired might understand him better than Liu Ying.

Now she's pregnant with another woman.

Short skirt, perfume, carefully chosen attire...

Although Pei Youyou is not as beautiful as her sister-in-law, she has a good figure and is willing to put in effort for him, bowing her head to please him, which is enough to please him.

"You," Xing Zhengyu pinched her waist, "I know you're naive, and your parents-in-law and Yuanzhou spoil you too much, but you also need to understand that there are always people more powerful than you, and you can't afford to offend someone from a family like Young Master Yu."

“I didn’t do it on purpose.” Pei Youyou pouted. “Young Master Yu doesn’t give me any face at all. My own brother is the president of Pei’s Group, and my husband is the president of Xing’s Group.”

"You know you're wrong?"

"I know, I know." Pei Youyou hugged his neck and kissed him, getting more and more excited with each kiss.

Outside the office, the deputy manager of the investment department and Liu Ying came to see General Manager Xing. They could hear Pei Youyou's coquettish voice coming from the slightly ajar door.

After being informed, they went inside.

Pei Youyou remained seated on Xing Zhengyu's lap, looking shy and dressed boldly, like a seductive concubine tempting the emperor to neglect his morning court duties.

A sentence quickly popped into Liu Ying's mind.

The status of the legal wife, the behavior of the mistress.

"Why are you guys handling the investment department's affairs?" Pei Youyou interjected. "Shouldn't it be Xing Yanzhao? What, does he really have no ability to manage anything?"

The deputy manager said, "Young Master Xing hasn't arrived at the company yet."

Xing Zhengyu: "Late again?"

Having been with the company for over half a month, apart from a business trip to country D, he has either been slacking off or arriving late and leaving early. The employees all say behind his back that this young master is a hopeless case.

Xing Yanzhao continued to do things his own way.

He rarely spoke.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

The deputy manager fawned, "These are the investigation and evaluation materials for the project in Country D. If President Xing thinks there are no problems, we can start the investment and launch the project."

Xing Zhengyu released Pei Youyou, gesturing for her to wait aside for a while. Pei Youyou had already caused trouble last night, so she had to be obedient and sit quietly to the side.

She watched Xing Zhengyu carefully review the documents, and the more she looked, the more she liked and was satisfied.

Among the wealthy young men of Ningcheng, there are only two who can truly be called the pride of the nation: one is her own brother, and the other is now her husband.

Who can be as lucky as her?

Xing Zhengyu didn't see anything wrong, but remembering what Xing Yanzhao had said in the study, he asked the deputy manager of the investment department, "What did the eldest brother say?"

"The young master means it's best not to vote."

It's the same words again.

“What could someone who dropped out of high school know?” Pei Youyou interjected. “If we really listened to him, things would get out of hand.”

The deputy manager chimed in, "The young master really doesn't know much about these things."

Xing Zhengyu smiled, and when he looked up, his eyes met Liu Ying's. Liu Ying had been his assistant for six or seven years, so she not only knew him, but he also knew Liu Ying. He knew that this look meant there was something to say.

"What do you want to say?"

“President Xing,” Liu Ying said, “the D country project needs further discussion. Assistant Chen asked the young master why he felt the D country project was unsuitable for investment, and I overheard him saying that the newly introduced policies in D country are not favorable to the project…”

"Pshaw!" Pei Youyou scoffed. "A newly introduced policy, indeed. Does he even understand D country's language and writing system? You actually believed his attempt to fool people with his mysterious air."

“President Xing, I’ve checked, and there is indeed a policy that is not conducive to the project’s future development.” Liu Ying calmly reminded him, “The fact that the young master noticed the policy shows that he is not as simple as he seems on the surface.”

Pei Youyou let out another cold laugh and asked Liu Ying, "When did you switch sides with Xing Yanzhao? Why are you speaking up for him like this?"

Xing Zhengyu also looked over suspiciously.
