No reconciliation, no forgiveness! Mr. Pei leaves with nothing.

I saw this message in Bao'erla's small group chat. This small group is full of Shen family members, and she is the only one who is "indifferent".

Yue Lianyi, Shen Wanrou, Jiang Hua, Shen Yebai, and Shen Bao'er are all present.

Shen Wanrou is almost forty years old. She has lived a carefree and unrestrained life for most of her life, but she still stumbled in front of an unknown junior. She can't really swallow her anger, but she just feels unlucky whenever she hears that name.

Not only did I suffer a disaster, but I also lost money. Losing money was a minor matter; the worst thing was that I felt disgusted by the constant presence of the person in front of me.

The group chat was full of insults, but Shen Yebai and Jiang Hua remained silent. Bringing Shen Yebai in was pointless; he would just leave when he got annoyed.

Jiang Hua listened to what they were saying with a "let's watch the show" attitude.

Jiang Hua hadn't been to school during this time, but she hadn't been idle either. Pei Zhan knew she had been searching for books about the origins of jewelry making, and he somehow managed to find them in just a few days. There aren't many books on this topic on the market right now, and the jewelry industry is quite small. Even for people from ordinary classes, it's difficult to delve deeper into this field, even for someone like Jiang Hua. Unless they're in the jewelry design industry, most scions of wealthy families either study finance or are primarily focused on developing their interests and hobbies.

For most of them, academic qualifications are not very useful. Most of the people around Jiang Hua are those who have returned from studying abroad and are then trained by their families to start managing companies.

Jiang Hua felt that she was somewhat of an oddball, but since she was just idling at home anyway, she might as well find something to do.

Jiang Weiguo was the kind of person who couldn't stay idle in the hospital. After staying in the hospital for more than half a month, he convened a board meeting as soon as he was discharged. The meeting had been going on for two hours and was still not over. Jiang Hua was sitting sideways in the president's chair, holding a book and carefully turning page after page...

Seeing that it was already noon, Jiang Hua picked up her phone, typed a message, sent it, and then tossed the phone aside.

Sure enough, less than five minutes later, the sound of a door opening came from the conference room on the top floor, presumably indicating that the meeting had ended.

"...The contents of the meeting that just took place, please compile them into a document and let me take a look. As for the finance department, I have repeatedly emphasized, Pei Zhan, you need to keep a close eye on things and not let anyone tamper with them."

Jiang Weiguo walked in front, with Pei Zhanwei behind him. Zuo Xiangnan stepped forward and opened the door to the president's office. The first thing he saw was Jiang Hua lying on her side in the chair without any regard for her image, holding a book halfway up her hand.

Hearing the noise, Jiang Hua put the book away, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed. She wasn't wearing makeup today, only drawing her eyebrows. Her skin was fair and translucent, without a trace of imperfection. Jiang Hua was naturally beautiful with perfect bone structure, so she didn't need much makeup. Her pure face was enough to make her radiant and beautiful.

An expensive, classic blue midi skirt draped to the ground. "Dad, are you feeling better? The doctor said you should go home and rest, not go home and continue working overtime."

Jiang Weiguo said, "I won't be going back with you for a while. Your grandfather is back, and I need to go to Qianqiu Manor to talk to him about some things. You and Pei Zhan can come over for dinner tonight."

"I'm not going." Jiang Hua refused without even thinking.

Jiang Weiguo didn't take it seriously. "I've already talked to your grandfather about the association's next steps. You'll need to discuss it yourself."

Jiang Hua: "Too much to do."

Pei Zhan: "Huahua, you can't be rude."

Jiang Hua glared at Pei Zhan, annoyed. "What's it to you now?"

"Mind your own business."

Pei Zhan was so kind that he didn't say a word, only saying to Jiang Weiguo, "I'll take you."

Jiang Weiguo waved his hand, "No need, Wang Qi will be here soon. You stay with Huahua. She's been alone in the office for so long without anyone to keep her company, so she's angry."

"Talk to her, and she'll calm down in a bit."

Jiang Hua: "Dad, why are you saying so much to an outsider?"

"Anyone who didn't know better would think he was your son."

Jiang Weiguo left with a smile.

Outside.

Zuo Xiangnan nodded: "Take care, Chairman Jiang."

The door was closed again.

Pei Zhan stepped forward, picked up the high heels that had fallen to the ground. Her rounded toenails were painted bright red. He helped her put on the shoes and fastened the silver chain. "Next time Chairman Jiang comes, I'll be more careful. I'm sorry to have left you alone for so long."

Jiang Hua suddenly said, "Song Qingran is awake."

"Ok, I know."

"Aren't you going to go see her?"

"Huahua, don't forget our deal."

"Hmm, five hundred million in hush money." Jiang Hua had no feelings for him whatsoever; now it was just a transaction. She was genuinely curious about Pei Zhan's money. "You country bumpkin, how much money do you have that I don't know about?"

Pei Zhan stepped forward, picked her up, placed her on his lap, and spun the chair around. In front of Jiang Hua, he entered a string of numbers. When the safe opened, it was filled with documents. Pei Zhan took out the top thick stack of documents and said, "What I showed you last time was only a part. Now I'm showing you everything."

"I have invested in the investment fund established by the Huo Group in my personal capacity. These shares will generate dividends every quarter."

"The money I gave you was originally intended as start-up capital for my own business after I left the Jiang family..."

Leaving the Jiang family… was it when he left Wuchuan? Did he really think he would never come back…?

"If you really thought you'd never come back, why did you come back in the first place?"

"With this money, and your abilities, you can absolutely create a second, even more powerful Jiang family."

Pei Zhan's hand landed on her slender waist, feeling its texture; it was a bit plumper than before. "It's rare to hear such praise from Mrs. Pei."

"I am fortunate."

"I'm talking to you seriously!" Give him a nice look, and he'll take advantage of it.

"because…"

"Mrs. Pei, she's here to see me..."

He softened.

...

When Song Qingran regained consciousness, she was extremely weak. Seeing the people surrounding her, she couldn't utter a single word.

The nurse dismissed the people surrounding her. "Everyone, Ms. Song is awake now, which is a good sign. She still needs to fast for a while and have some quiet time to rest. Please leave now so she can get some rest."

Overjoyed, Song's mother wept, "Alright, alright, I'll go, I'll go right now."

"My Qingran, what will your mother do if something happens to you!"

"It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up."

Song Qingran spent the entire afternoon undergoing examinations. As someone who has undergone major organ transplant surgery, she cannot carry the organ with her at any time and requires even more thorough examinations.

When she regained consciousness, she sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the people who cared about her. Song Qingran felt incredibly warm inside. "Mom, Aunt Xia, Aunt Bai... don't worry, I'm fine. Look... I'm perfectly alright, aren't I?"

"Mom, you look so haggard. Have you not been eating properly?" Song Qingran has been very sensible since she was a child. Her mother is in poor health, so she has to work several jobs to supplement the family income. Even with the school's subsidies, it is still far from enough. Faced with expensive medical bills, Song Qingran has never complained or said she was tired or overworked.

"Mom is alright. If it weren't for the help of the two ladies, I wouldn't know what to do. I went to the school to look for you and heard the news of your accident. I also went to the company, but they kicked me out and didn't say anything about you. Now that Mom sees you're alright, Mom... is relieved."

"Did they lay a hand on you? Are you injured anywhere?" Song Qingran became agitated instantly, and in that instant, she felt a spasmodic pain in her internal organs.

"Qingran...Qingran...What's wrong?"

"It hurts...it hurts so much..."

Only Song's mother knew the truth. It was because her old illness had flared up again. Back then... Qingran had an organ transplanted from a little girl who was about the same age. She had been deceived by someone... She had no choice but to do it to save her daughter's life, and she did manage to keep Qingran alive. She just didn't expect... the aftereffects of the transplant to be so severe. Not only had she forgotten her memories before the accident, but she could even get sick from the slightest breeze or rain...

If it weren't for... being sponsored by a gentleman during the most difficult time for the Song family, who took good care of Qingran's health, Qingran wouldn't be alive today.

The three of them were in a flurry of activity, but it was Song's mother who managed to feed Song Qingran her medicine in time, which relieved the pain a little.

Suddenly, Song Qingran remembered something. Right, the jewelry restoration…

She didn't do it; they didn't steal her jewelry.

"My phone, my phone..." Song Qingran frantically searched for it. "I need to call Mr. Pei. I need to tell him... about the jewelry. I didn't steal her things."

However, at that moment, Zuo Xiangnan took out medicine from outside the ward, which she had just picked up from the pharmacy.

"Miss Song, don't worry, President Pei has already handled this matter. We can discuss anything after you've recovered." Song Qingran was still unaware of the news of her dismissal from the Jiang Group. This decision was made by the board of directors, and he was present at the meeting.

This matter is far too complicated, involving the Shen family as well.

Song Qingran violated company rules by using Jiang's connections and clients to seek personal gain for other studios.

Even if President Pei wanted to protect her this time, he couldn't.

"He didn't come today?" Xia He stood up, her tone seemingly urgent as she asked.

"Mrs. Xia is asking about President Pei? He has a social engagement today and won't be coming. He's been very busy lately. Miss Song, just take good care of yourself. Don't worry about the medical expenses; everything will be taken care of."

Song's mother said, "Qingran, this Mr. Pei really has nothing but praise for you."

"Over the years, she has always done her best to help our family. Without her, my mother would not be alive today."

Song Qingran lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Xia He saw everything but remained silent, knowing full well what was going on.

"Brother Xiang Nan, please go back and thank Mr. Pei for me. Did I... cause him trouble again?"

Zuo Xiangnan didn't know how to explain to her that President Pei was already preparing to sever ties with her. After all, they had been together for nearly ten years. Over the years, he had taken meticulous care of her in both her life and studies. Even when she caught a cold, President Pei would personally take care of her at night. Knowing that she was not in good health, he had provided her with complete medical equipment and a family doctor so that she could receive timely treatment.

When Song Qingran was still in school, she was in poor health. There were times when her transplanted organs were rejected. Now she can live like a normal person, all thanks to the efforts put into her care.

At first, Zuo Xiangnan didn't understand why President Pei was so kind to a young, sickly child until... he learned about the Zhou family's affairs and then he understood.

As his assistant, he couldn't interfere in President Pei's private affairs. There were some things... whether or not to say them, Zuo Xiangnan knew perfectly well, but it was better for her not to know.

If President Pei truly lets go of the past and is ready to start over with Miss Jiang, Zuo Xiangnan will have no way to interfere with his decision…

As a subordinate, you should do what a subordinate should do.

After paying all the hospital fees at once, Zuo Xiangnan left the hospital without lingering. Regarding Song Qingran's breach of her internship contract and subsequent dismissal, the Jiang family didn't make any further statements. Considering Song Qingran's family circumstances, and out of humanitarian considerations, the Jiang family didn't demand any penalty for breach of contract, nor did they disclose the specific reasons to the public…

Back at the company, I will also discuss specific personnel matters with her…

Jiang Group.

Jiang Hua returned home with her mind in turmoil.

Pei Zhan wanted to take her home, but was refused. He could only ask Kager to have the driver from Jinsha Shallow Bay come and pick him up. When the driver arrived downstairs, Jiang Hua saw Xu Zhoulan, who looked like a woman and was not like a man, at the entrance of the president's office. He was the new director of the design department. Jiang Hua had rarely seen him, but he looked familiar.

Are there any normal people among the senior executives in the design department?

"Look at Miss Jiang's eyes, I don't know if it's dissatisfaction with my attire, or... with me!"

They are, after all, employees of our company; we can't just belittle them to their faces.

Unable to say anything against her conscience, Jiang Hua simply said, "You are the most beautiful man I have ever seen. Your fashion sense... is also quite good."

Xu Zhoulan chuckled softly, his voice pleasant, "Xu Zhoulan, Director of the Design Department, it's a pleasure to meet Miss Jiang in person."

His glib tongue and even his gaze made Jiang Hua feel uncomfortable.

"No need for a handshake," Jiang Hua refused without hesitation. Then she said to Pei Zhan, "Don't forget to take these books back with you."

Pei Zhan: "Okay."

In her sixth sense, she avoids contact with anyone she perceives as a bad person or someone who poses a danger.

The first person to give her this feeling was Pei Zhan.

So... Pei Zhan in her past life caused her family to be destroyed!

The second person is him!

Jiang Hua took the president's private elevator downstairs.

Xu Zhoulan handed the documents in his hand to Pei Zhan, "Your little lover is awake, aren't you going to go see her?"

"I have some inside information, and I don't know if President Pei would like to hear it?"

Pei Zhan: "Tell me about it."

Xu Zhoulan stared at the person in front of him, pausing to say each word clearly: "Jiang Weiguo, have Wang Qi secretly find a patient whose heart matches Miss Jiang's..."

"Tell me, what is Chairman Jiang planning to do?"
