As for Xu Xingran, he's like a loyal little puppy.

Unfortunately, lately this dog seems to have developed a desire to compete for attention.

But Xu Xingran had something in mind that could manipulate Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi really couldn't use any outrageous methods on Xu Xingran; she could only coax, deceive, and pretend.

"Have fun abroad, remember to keep warm and don't catch a cold. Be careful not to fall while skiing."

After Pei Zhi finished speaking, she released her hand, and the voice message was sent out.

Tossing her phone aside, Pei Zhi started the car and drove back to the company.

Upon arriving at the office, Pei Zhi didn't even have a moment to catch her breath before Assistant Gao brought her a batch of documents.

"There's a meeting in half an hour."

Pei Zhi rubbed her temples. "Okay, I understand."

"Bring me a cup of coffee."

Assistant Gao responded and left.

Pei Zhi turned on her computer and started processing emails.

Two years ago, Pei Zhi spent a sum of money to purchase two more gold mines overseas.

At that time, the price of gold in the country was about 260 yuan per gram.

Gold artifacts weren't particularly popular abroad, so Pei Zhi helped the mine owner acquire a batch of firearms. As a result, the two gold mines came into Pei Zhi's hands at an extremely low price.

Pei Zhi had previously explored the area with a professional team, and the gold content in the mine should be quite high.

Gold prices have continued to rise in the past two years due to international turmoil.

The person in charge asked Pei Zhi if she wanted to mine gold.

Pei Zhi replied with a no.

International turmoil has only just begun, and the price of gold is now nearly 400 yuan per gram.

According to Pei Zhi's assessment, there should be further price increases.

Moreover, Pei Zhi wasn't in a hurry to cash out; the gold mine wouldn't be a liability.

The rest of the emails were selected by the staff.

Several major brands want to collaborate with their jewelry.

In short, it's a joint effort to fleece people.

Pei Zhi rejected them all; the jewelry market was already saturated.

Even if they team up to fleece people, the number of people who will fall for it is relatively limited.

Pei Zhi opened the email; it was from a foreign laboratory, requesting funding approval.

The responsible parties have already signed off, and they're just waiting for Pei Zhi's approval before the money can be transferred.

Pei Zhi glanced at it briefly; the monthly budget was 100 million US dollars.

Pei Zhi sighed. The cost of medical treatment was truly astounding.

After replying to emails and attending a long meeting, Pei Zhi finally finished her day's work.

There will also be a financial interview in the evening, which is a fairly formal interview.

Having gotten the information to Pei Zhi through connections, Pei Zhi couldn't very well refuse.

The driver took Pei Zhi to the interview location.

Pei Zhi didn't change her clothes. The staff helped Pei Zhi fix her hair and draw her eyebrows.

As the staff member helped Pei Zhi draw her eyebrows, they carefully observed her.

By the time Pei Zhi finished packing, the reporters had been waiting for quite some time.

Pei Zhi was slightly surprised to learn that it was a male reporter.

Because most financial journalists are female.

In modern society, not many men understand finance.

Moreover, most CEOs are women.

Male financial journalists, if they have too much contact with the boss, are bound to have some rumors and gossip.

At least, all the reporters Pei Zhi had previously encountered were women.

Pei Zhi said something flippant: What are male reporters doing on the financial channel instead of working in the entertainment industry?

Is she planning to hook up with a rich guy?

"Hello, my name is Shen Jin."

Pei Zhi sat down and introduced herself, "Pei Zhi."

"I've long admired your name." After offering his compliments, Shen Jin handed Pei Zhi an interview form.

"Mr. Pei, please take a look. These are the questions we need to ask you in the interview later. Are there any that you are not comfortable answering?"

Pei Zhi took the document and glanced at it. At first, she was asked about the things that happened before she inherited the company.

A few more questions were about what would happen after Pei Zhi inherited the company.

At the end of the interview, there were a few questions about Pei Zhi's married life.

There's nothing difficult to answer, and the questions listed in the interview won't deliberately pry into Pei Zhi's privacy.

"That's good. Did you make this list yourself?"

Shen Jin nodded, "I was very excited to know that I would be able to interview you. I spent several days looking for your information and came up with these questions."

The staff set up the machine and quietly asked Pei Zhi if she was ready.

"President Pei, there's no need to worry. If there are any inconveniences later, they can be edited out later."

Pei Zhi readily agreed, "Okay."

The staff turned on the camera, and Shen Jin adjusted his posture. After a long introduction, Shen Jin asked Pei Zhi to greet the camera.

After going through the formalities, Chen Jin began to get straight to the point.

"President Pei went abroad to study at the age of thirteen, attending a top college abroad, and graduated with a master's degree at the age of twenty. Could you share with us your experience of studying abroad?"

“I was studying there, but I became independent early. I went abroad at the age of thirteen and I was able to adapt very well.”

Pei Zhi made a small Versailles gesture, "Maybe it's because I've been smarter since I was little, and I could skip grades abroad, so I graduated a few years earlier than my classmates. When I graduated with my master's degree, they were still in college."

Shen Jin appropriately praised, "After returning to China, President Pei did not join his own company, but chose to start his own business. Why is that?"

Pei Zhi feigned hesitation, "Once I join my own company, I will be given a title."

"People don't know who I am. They only know me because I am so-and-so's daughter."

"I think this is a bit unfair, it's probably because I'm unwilling to admit defeat."

Pei Zhi shook her head casually, "Are you still young? You always want to fight to the death and think you're no worse than anyone else."

Shen Jin asked curiously, "As far as I know, President Pei's company had already gained some reputation in about a year of operation, so why did he take over the family business later?"

"My entrepreneurship was relatively easy because the people I've known since childhood are all well-off and have plenty of resources."

"I wanted to start my own business, and when I said it, my classmates and friends abroad offered their help. So, I didn't experience much of the hardship of starting a business."

Pei Zhi wasn't bragging; she was stating the facts.

"So when my mother wanted me to take over the family business, I hesitated for a while before accepting it."

"Because I found that even if I succeed, I still can't get rid of my parents' help."

"Without them, I wouldn't be able to concentrate on my studies abroad without having to worry about anything else."

"Without their background, I wouldn't have been able to meet these people around me, which allowed me to start my business smoothly."

"Besides, I am their daughter, so there is no need for me to hide anything or prove anything."

Pei Zhi said confidently, "Moreover, people will no longer call me 'Little President Pei,' nor will they introduce me with prefixes like 'I am so-and-so's daughter.'"
