Chapter 251 Having a Daughter

When he arrived at the company, Yue Linze strode over to greet him: "President Pei, your father and Pei Yunqing have arrived. I've asked them to wait in the small conference room."

Pei Muye hummed in agreement and asked him, "He didn't give you any trouble, did he?"

Yue Linze smiled and said, "It's not difficult."

Pei Yaohai didn't want to wait in the conference room; he wanted to go to Pei Muye's office instead.

His exact words were, "I'm his father, can't I even go into his office?"

But Yue Linze had seen countless big scenes and didn't care about his nonsense at all.

When Pei Muyi arrived, Pei Yaohai indeed vented his anger on him: "It's outrageous that a son makes his father wait!"

"Did someone invite you here?" Pei Muye said coldly, "You can leave anytime if you don't want to wait."

Pei Yaohai had no words to refute, so he could only point at Pei Yunqing and say, "Get your brother a job right away! Don't give me any high-sounding platitudes, I don't care. In short, he has the ability and the status, so at least give him a big project to be in charge of!"

"Capable?" Pei Muye chuckled. "Weren't those money-losing projects handled by him?"

“That’s not our own business,” Pei Yaohai said. “He was just bad at judging people and got cheated. You can’t blame him.”

Pei Yunqing said, "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Can you guarantee that every project you handle will be profitable?"

Pei Muye looked at him: "What are your plans?"

Pei Yunqing said directly, "Give me the Shan Hai project!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Linze frowned behind Pei Muye.

Pei Muye smiled and said, "I've been following up on this project all along and have done a lot of work in the early stages. It wouldn't be appropriate to just give it to you like this, would it?"

Pei Yaohai said, "What's inappropriate about it! He's your brother! All the businesses belong to both of you!"

The Mountain and Sea Project originated from the Mountain and Sea Home project.

The preliminary preparations are complete and it will be put into use soon. Once the time comes, we can just sit back and wait to make money.

Pei Yunqing was simply there to reap the fruits of others' hard work.

Yue Linze was furious and wanted to speak.

Pei Muye gave him a look, and he swallowed his words.

Pei Yunqing must have come prepared for this.

Pei Muye said directly, "Okay, this project is for him. However, he needs to sign a contract before he takes over the project."

Pei Yaohai asked curiously, "What kind of contract?"

Pei Muye said, "Once the project is given to him, the positions of the original staff cannot be changed..."

Pei Yunqing said, "They're all your people. What if they don't listen to me?"

“They’re all from the group,” Pei Muye said. “They’re not my people. They’ve been working overtime every day for this project. There’s no reason for you to take charge and replace them all.”

Pei Yunqing gritted her teeth: "Fine, I don't have to replace them, but I also need to have a say in personnel matters. I want to hire a few people for my own use. Is that too much to ask?"

Pei Muye said, "As long as you don't lay off employees and you have a suitable reason to hire new employees, I naturally won't restrict you."

"That's good." Pei Yunqing was satisfied. "Then let's hand over the work now."

Pei Yaohai also said, "Yes, arrange an office for Yun Qing, and then announce the appointment."

Pei Muye turned and left the conference room, Yue Linze following closely behind: "President Pei, this..."

Pei Muye said, "Give it to him, let him do as he pleases."

Yue Linze knew that Pei Muye had his reasons for whatever decision he made.

He just needs to obey.

"yes."

After he finished all that, he called Lin Xiyin.

Looking at the time, Lin Xiyin should be eating at this hour.

He called, and it rang five or six times before they answered.

"Yinyin..."

"Hello, she went to get food and didn't bring her phone."

It was a man's voice on the other end.

Pei Muye frowned: "Who are you?"

"I am Li Xingzhi." Li Xingzhi introduced himself: "You must be President Pei? We've met before."

Pei Muye frowned even more: "When she gets back, have her call me back."

Lin Xiyin went to the student cafeteria today. Some windows give out numbered tickets, and you take the ticket to pick up your food after it's ready.

Li Xingzhi offered to help her get it, but she refused and went to get it herself, leaving the phone on the table.

Anyway, with Li Xingzhi around, it won't be lost.

When Li Xingzhi first saw her phone ringing, he didn't want to answer it, but then he answered it because he was afraid that Pei Muyi would be anxious.

When Lin Xiyin returned, he said, "Your husband called you, but I was afraid it might be an emergency, so I answered it for you."

Lin Xiyin paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you."

She first sent a message to Pei Muye, telling him that she was eating and would reply to him after she finished eating.

After finishing her meal and returning to her office, she called Pei Muye.

Pei Muye answered almost instantly, but he didn't say anything.

Lin Xiyin called out to him, "Pei Muye?"

Pei Muye then hummed in agreement.

Lin Xiyin chuckled: "Are you angry?"

Pei Muyi then asked, "Why are you having dinner with Li Xingzhi? Is it just the two of you?"

Lin Xiyin said, "Xinyue had something to do today, so the two of us ate together. However, he had something important to tell me."

"What important business? He's just using this opportunity to get close to you!"

"No……"

"Lin Xiyin!" Pei Muyi was already unhappy this morning, and now he was even more upset: "You're still speaking up for him!"

Lin Xiyin was also helpless: "Why should I speak up for him? He ate with me because he wanted to tell me..."

"I won't listen!" Pei Muye interrupted her. "You know he likes you, yet you still have dinner with him alone. Are you giving him a chance?"

Time and time again, Lin Xiyin got annoyed.

"Do you not believe in your own charm, or do you not believe in me? We've been through so much together, and you're still getting angry over such a small thing?"

"This is no small matter," Pei Muyi said. "Aren't you angry that I ate with Ming Qingwan and the others?"

Lin Xiyin sighed: "You...you want to argue with me?"

"How could I bear to argue with you?" Pei Muyi's voice softened. "You have no idea how upset I was this morning. Pei Yaohai brought Pei Yunqing to ask for a project, and I gave him the most profitable one..."

Lin Xiyin softened upon hearing this.

She said, "Li Xingzhi has a girlfriend. He had dinner with me today and that's what he told me."

"Really?" Pei Muye was overjoyed, but also worried that it was fake news: "Wouldn't he use this as an excuse to get closer to you indefinitely in the future?"

"What? His girlfriend is a teacher at our school, I know her."

"That's good." Pei Muye said, "Let him go out to eat with his girlfriend from now on. Why is he taking my wife for granted?"

"I understand," Lin Xiyin said. "Then you can't be jealous so easily anymore. Does that mean I can't have contact with the opposite sex?"

If you ask Pei Muye to tell the truth, he will say no.

He hoped that in Lin Xiyin's world, he would be the only person of the opposite sex.

But that's not realistic.

He had no choice but to say, "I believe you, but I just can't control my jealousy."

The two of them used to be unaware of each other's feelings. Pei Muye loved her, but she didn't know it.

She also loved Pei Muye, but Pei Muye didn't know it.

The two of them have been jealous of each other countless times, and Pei Muye's way of expressing his jealousy is by tormenting her in bed.

It seemed that only at that moment could he be certain that this woman truly belonged to him.

Even now that the two have confessed their feelings for each other, jealousy is still inevitable.

Lin Xiyin felt that Pei Muye was too petty.

Therefore, she has been very careful to avoid contact with other men.

In her view, Li Xingzhi was just her friend. The two of them did research together, and besides, at school, the three of them were basically together, along with Wu Xinyue.

Even so, Pei Muye was still jealous.

Fortunately, Li Xingzhi was to take charge of the subsequent projects on his own.

Lin Xiyin then stopped associating with him.

Things should get better then.

When she got home that evening, Lin Xiyin first hugged her son who ran over to greet her, then went inside and hugged Qu Jianhang.

The two of them went to see Yan Chengyu last night and didn't stay at home.

"Is Uncle Yan alright?" Lin Xiyin asked.

Qu Jianhang helped the nanny carry the dishes out: "He's always so busy, no matter what he's doing."

"Everything else is fine, but please tell Uncle Yan to take care of his health."

“I told him,” Qu Jianhang said. “If he can’t make it due to health reasons, I will divorce him and find someone younger and stronger.”

"Mom!" Lin Xiyin glared at her helplessly, "What are you saying?"

“I’m warning him,” Qu Jianhang said. “He should take good care of his health so that he can live to be a hundred with me.”

Lin Xiyin hummed in agreement.

Qu Jianhang added, "You should also pay attention to your wedding with Mu Ye."

“He said I don’t need to worry about it,” Lin Xiyin said. “He said I’m too busy.”

"Busiest than me?" Qu Jianhang laughed. "He's worried about you getting tired."

After dinner, while playing games with Lin Youxing, Lin Xiyin whispered, "Mom, I'll go find Youyou after he falls asleep."

Qu Jianhang laughed and said, "Go ahead, we can't be separated for even a day now."

Lin Xiyin said shyly, "What? He called at noon today, and Li Xingzhi answered. He was jealous."

"How come you're all such petty men?" Qu Jianhang said, "In this respect, you're just like your Uncle Yan."

Lin Xiyin asked gossipily, "Mom, is Uncle Yan also so petty?"

"He might not even be as good as Pei Muyi," Qu Jianhang said, then asked, "When is Yiyi due?"

"It'll be soon, in the next few days," Lin Xiyin said. "I've already taken leave. I'll go to the hospital with her the day before her due date."

"These two didn't even check if it was a boy or a girl," Qu Jianhang said. "I still prefer girls."

Lin Xiyin teased her, "So you don't like Youyou anymore?"

"Who said that?" Qu Jianhang said, "Youyou is my precious darling. What I mean is... Ruanruan, don't you plan to have another one with Pei Mu? It would be so nice to have a daughter."

Lin Xiyin had never thought of that.

That evening, she went to Pei Muye's place and posed the question to him.

“Didn’t we talk about this before?” Pei Muye hugged her. “Having Youyou is enough. I can’t bear to let you suffer.”
