After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

After leaving the office, Pei Xingzhi called Ye Ci and told him to pack his things and leave without participating in the second round of the election.

Ye Ci was puzzled, but hearing Pei Xingzhi's gloomy tone, she guessed that something must have happened, and immediately picked up her computer and left the Shen Group building.

"Do it!"

Shen Yan rushed out of another office, chasing after Pei Xingzhi in her high heels.

"Xingzhi, wait for me, I have something to tell you!"

"..."

Pei Xingzhi ignored her and even silently quickened his pace.

Shen Yanhui couldn't catch up while jogging, so she gritted her teeth and started running, managing to grab Pei Xingzhi's arm just before he entered the elevator.

"Xingzhi, don't go! Listen to me!" Shen Yanhui was running so fast that she had to catch her breath after every word.

"No need." Pei Xingzhi forcefully shook off her hand, took a few steps back, and created a glaring distance between them.

"Mr. Shen has already said enough to me. I don't want to hear any more of the same old nonsense from Ms. Shen."

"Why?" Shen Yan Hui really didn't understand. She looked at Pei Xing Zhi with a puzzled expression, her brows furrowed into a tight knot: "Xing Zhi, why won't you choose me? I can give you investment, I can give you connections, I can even give you the Shen Group, why won't you choose me?"

What's so good about Qin Song?

Pei Xingzhi adjusted his glasses, his gaze towards Shen Yanhui colder than ever before: "Miss Shen, I have no obligation to explain these things to you. You just need to remember that whether it's investment, connections, the Shen Group, or even yourself, none of you can compare to Qin Song."

"I won't stop you from being a commodity in the business world, I just ask that you don't drag my Xiaosong into it."

"But Qin Song can't give you anything!" Shen Yan Hui was on the verge of collapse. She wiped her reddened eyes, trembling with anger at Pei Xing Zhi's words.

"Besides that child, what else can Qin Song give you? Humiliation? Trouble? Or cuckolding you?"

"Shut up!" Having his bottom line challenged time and time again, Pei Xingzhi had exhausted all his gentleness.

He glared coldly at Shen Yanhui, his voice more piercing than a freezing winter spring.

This was the first time Shen Yan Hui had been yelled at by him, and for a moment she was still a little stunned.

"Miss Shen." He frowned, his eyes fierce. "Xiao Song didn't provoke you, did she? How long are you going to target her? Do you think Xiao Song has no one to back her up if I don't get angry?"

“I…” Shen Yan turned around and faced Pei Xingzhi, who was in a fit of rage, completely unsure of how to respond to him.

She gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, and when she spoke again, the forceful tone she had just displayed was gone.

"Xingzhi, I didn't mean to target Qin Song! I just wanted to help you!"

"Hmph..." Pei Xingzhi sneered, "You want to help me, so you're trying to get me to divorce? So you're using investment to threaten me and force me to be with you?"

“No, I didn’t mean to force you.” Shen Yan’s explanation was weak. “I, I was forced to write this second volume because I like you so much.”

"You like me?" Pei Xingzhi found those three words utterly sarcastic. He shook his head and said coldly, "Your liking is ridiculous."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Shen Yan with only a cold back view.

"Do it!"

"Pei Xingzhi!"

Shen Yanhui dug her nails into her palms, calling out to Pei Xingzhi in a futile and unwilling manner, "Why can't you understand my feelings for you? Why won't you turn around and look at me? I'm the one who's most suitable for you, the one who loves you the most!"

"..."

Pei Xingzhi pressed the down button on the elevator and stopped responding to Shen Yanhui.

Shen Yanhui gritted her teeth in hatred: "You'd rather not invest than not choose Qin Song? Do you like her that much?!"

"Ding--"

The elevator arrived at Pei Xingzhi's floor, and two seconds later, the doors opened to both sides, and Pei Xingzhi stepped inside.

"Yes." Pei Xingzhi answered Shen Yanhui's question before the elevator doors closed.

"I like her."

Even if all of you think she's bad, even if you think she's a burden, I still love her.

Perhaps I've liked it for a long time.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Pei Xingzhi left, and Shen Yanhui stood there, screaming and stomping her feet in anger. At the same time, she muttered to herself against the wall.

"Why? Why won't he like me? What kind of bewitching drug did Qin Song give him?"

"Didn't you say I was Pei Xingzhi's destined partner? Why would he prefer a villainous female supporting character to me? According to the original novel's plot, the villainous female supporting character should have been gone by now!"

"No, you must find out exactly who Qin Song is!"

"Of course I know I don't have enough favorability! Pei Xingzhi's mind is full of Qin Song right now, I don't have a chance to earn any favorability at all!"

"Buy on credit! Buy on credit! If I fail to complete the mission and die here, you'll be wiped out by the higher-ups along with me!"

……

"Brother Pei, what should we do now?"

Inside the used Audi, Ye Ci asked with a worried expression.

Pei Xingzhi held a cigarette between his fingers, the butt glowing red, the wisps of smoke trembling as they rose, casting a hint of ferocity on his cold, icy eyes.

"Let's find other investors; the Shen Group is no longer a viable option."

"Other investments... Half of the capital in Yuncheng now belongs to Lu. Lu Yibai would love to see you unable to recover, so why would he invest in our projects?"

Ye Ci was somewhat pessimistic; the future seemed blurry to him.

Pei Xingzhi looked at the cigarette between his fingers, but didn't take a single puff.

"Half of the capital belongs to Lu, so there's still the other half to fight for, right? Yuncheng is so big, I don't believe everyone will side with Lu Yibai."

"Sigh..." Ye Ci sighed, his eyes already numb. "How did we get forced into this situation?"

Pei Xingzhi smirked and handed the cigarette in his hand to Ye Ci: "You can have this."

Ye Ci hesitated before taking it: "Brother Pei, why aren't you smoking?"

Pei Xingzhi grabbed a handful of hair: "Xiao Song can't stand the smell of smoke."

"Then I won't smoke anymore." Ye Ci reached out the car window and threw the half-smoked cigarette into the trash can next to him. "You're with me all day long, don't let me make you smell like smoke."

"Thank you." Pei Xingzhi gave a short laugh.

……

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Song put down his paintbrush and went to the kitchen to cook.

Although Pei Xingzhi said on WeChat that he was fine, she still felt that Pei Xingzhi's emotions were a bit off.

Therefore, when cooking, she made all the dishes that Pei Xingzhi liked to eat, hoping to comfort Pei Xingzhi's depressed heart.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Pei Xingzhi knocked on the door of the rented room. Qin Song finished serving the last dish and quickly ran to open the door.

"I'm home."

The door opened, and Qin Song gave Pei Xingzhi a sweet smile: "You're back just in time! Wash your hands and we can eat right away!"

Pei Xingzhi remained silent.

He changed his shoes and went inside, placing the computer in one hand and closing the door with the other. Before the door was even locked, he eagerly reached out and hugged Qin Song tightly.
