Wu Ze and Jiang Su also looked over, somewhat puzzled.

Although she never liked Chu Nian, she never lacked the respect due to her, after all, Chu Nian was a favorite of Xiao Jinhan.

Pei Jin was just a junior assistant, yet he addressed him by his first name...

That's outrageous!

Jiang Su couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Sure enough, like attracts like. Not only are they ill-mannered, but they also have no sense of propriety at all."

The next moment, she wished she could swallow those words back.

Chu Nian bypassed her and Wu Ze and came to Pei Jin, nodding slightly and speaking gently: "Young Master Pei."

Jiang Su's face turned pale.

Wu Ze was shocked: "..."

Not only did their expressions change drastically, but Tang Yaoyao and Su Mei also looked at Pei Jin in disbelief, as if they were only now truly getting to know him.

His expression was cold and devoid of warmth. His eyes were slightly narrowed as he looked at Jiang Su and Wu Ze. His appearance was somewhat similar to Xiao Jinhan's...

Tang Yaoyao then looked at Chu Nian.

Countless fragments flashed through her mind, but she couldn't grasp any of them. However, she had a vague feeling that Pei Jin was not simple.

Su Mei remained silent, waiting for the two to continue their conversation.

Pei Jin's voice was calm: "Jiang Su and Wu Ze insulted me and my girlfriend. What do you think should be done about this?"

Su Mei: "..."

I was completely stunned.

Jiang Ruyun, standing to the side, also watched this scene in disbelief.

When did Su Mei become Pei Jin's girlfriend?

An assistant and their manager dating? That's practically unheard of in the entertainment industry...

Chu Nian turned around and said, "Young Master Pei, don't worry. I will tell Fourth Master about this. Miss Jiang and Mr. Wu must apologize to you in the media. From now on, they will no longer appear in the entertainment industry."

Boom—

It was like a bomb exploding in their hearts.

how so……

Jiang Su's face was frighteningly pale, and her eyes were bloodshot: "What right do you have?"

Chu Nian remained calm, as if she had dealt with such matters countless times. She said indifferently, "The surveillance footage and recordings on Brother Yao's phone are more than enough. Miss Jiang, when you were being arrogant and domineering, you should have thoroughly investigated whether this person was someone you could afford to offend."

"you……"

She knew that if she completely offended Master Xiao, there would be no turning back in her acting career, but she didn't want to lose so inexplicably. She glared at Chu Nian and asked, "Who exactly is he? Why are you helping him like this?"

"Miss Jiang must know that Fourth Master has a nephew, right?"

Su Mei: "...!!!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Su took a deep breath and almost fainted, staring at Pei Jin in disbelief.

No wonder. As soon as he came in, she could feel an extraordinary aura emanating from him. He was Xiao Jinhan's nephew. But why would a nephew condescend to be Tang Yaoyao's secretary?

Just because he wants to pursue Su Mei?

Suddenly, she felt an intense burning sensation in her right palm; just now, she had used this hand to hit Su Mei…

But she was not willing to give up.

He roared, "Pei Jin, you're settling a personal score!"

Pei Jin's eyes were still cold and sharp. He said in a low voice, "Yes, I was indeed settling a personal score, but only if you made the first move and gave me the opportunity."

"you……"

Pei Jin interrupted her: "Wait until you're in my position and have my status before you start questioning my character and conduct."

After saying that, he pulled Su Mei and turned to leave.

Tang Yaoyao smiled gently, licking her little tiger teeth. The people around her were all formidable warriors.

Slowly, he raised his fox-like eyes to look at her, a faint smile on his face, his smug expression quite obvious: "Miss Jiang, I won't see you out."

After saying that, she turned and left with a leisurely gait.

Jiang Su's pride crumbled at that moment. She staggered back several steps and finally fell onto the sofa, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed uncontrollably.

Why is she so unlucky?

Overnight, all the hard work he had put in in the entertainment industry vanished like bubbles.

No wonder Pei Jin was so certain that he could tell her to get out of the entertainment industry in ten minutes…

His status gives him the ability to do so.

Chu Nian listened to her shrill cries without a trace of sympathy; every word was like a needle piercing her heart.

“Miss Jiang, Young Master Pei is the most favored person of our Fourth Master. You may not know this, but I need to remind you that the Fourth Master has a short patience. The press conference should not exceed two hours. If it goes on too long, it will be more than just a matter of retiring from the entertainment industry.”

After Chu Nian finished speaking, she turned and left without any hesitation, her decisiveness sending a chill down one's spine.

Tang Yaoyao did not leave, but stood at the door waiting for her.

When Chu Nian came out and saw her, she was slightly taken aback, as if she hadn't expected her to still be there. She greeted her politely, "Miss Tang."

"Thank you for today."

Chu Nian's expression remained calm, and her voice was gentle: "Miss Tang, you don't need to thank me. I was just following orders. Since there's nothing else, I'll be going now. Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Watching her departing figure, Tang Yaoyao had to admit that Chu Nian exuded a strong aura of a powerful career woman, and every step she took demonstrated her success.

She murmured softly, "Chu Nian."

Um.

The name sounds nice.

...

Tang Yaoyao's office.

Pei Jin pulled Su Mei all the way into the office before letting go of her hand.

Su Mei was in a state of confusion. She inadvertently recalled a time when she and Yao Ge mentioned Pei Jin in Blue City.

She said she felt that Pei Jin was not as simple as he appeared.

Thinking back on it now...

Sure enough, Brother Yao's intuition has never been wrong.

Her hand was still in the arc he had held, and there was still a trace of the warmth of his palm on the back of her hand, which made her heart pound wildly.

Now that there were no outsiders around, Pei Jin looked at her somewhat bewildered appearance and revealed his usual friendly gaze: "Su Mei, I'm sorry, I only said you were my girlfriend in order to completely prevent Jiang Su from making a comeback."

Su Mei's eyes flickered for a moment, a little hurt in her heart, but she quickly put on her usual carefree smile: "Let's not talk about that. By the way, are you really Fourth Master's nephew?"

Pei Jin knew that this matter could not be kept secret, so she could only nod and tell him the whole story: "Back then, my uncle insisted that I inherit the family business. I didn't like it, so I ran away. In order to support myself, I became a driver in the car that my mother left me. That's when I met Brother Yao."

“Unwilling to inherit the family business, he works outside pretending to be a poor boy…” Su Mei murmured, then looked up at him: “Isn’t this a plot from a novel? How did I end up in this situation…”

He lowered his gaze slightly and said, "I'm sorry, but if I didn't conceal my identity, no one would be willing to hire me."

"Pei Jin".

At this moment, Tang Yaoyao returned and called his name.
