After the fireworks display, Pei Zhi had a few drinks with Huo Jiayuan.

Assistant Gao came over to remind Pei Zhi that it was getting late; it was already 10 p.m.

Pei Zhi's original plan was to surprise Xu Xingran at her apartment in the early morning.

Pei Zhi took a document and handed it to Huo Jiayuan.

"Jiayuan, this is my birthday gift to you. Just sign it and it will be valid."

"A gift?" Huo Jiayuan assumed that today's grand birthday banquet was Pei Zhi's gift to him.

The file was opened; it contained a photo of an island.

"This island was bought with the first pot of gold I earned through part-time work and study. It's not worth much money, but it's meaningful."

Huo Jiayuan's friends were incredibly jealous upon hearing such absurd remarks.

An island isn't worth much money.

The huge estate that President Pei built on the island must have cost a lot of money, right?

Moreover, there's the annual maintenance cost, which only President Pei could say is worthless.

What else? Earned through part-time work? Who has ever earned an island through part-time work?

"You've already given me so much today, I..." Huo Jiayuan felt a little awkward and embarrassed to accept it.

Pei Zhi said gently, "Don't waste my good intentions."

Huo Jiayuan's friend also advised, "Jiayuan, President Pei has done so much for you today, so don't be shy."

"Exactly, we're husband and wife, what's there to be embarrassed about?"

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Huo Jiayuan took the pen from Assistant Gao and signed his name.

Everyone saw it and clapped and cheered, "Kiss! Kiss!"

Huo Jiayuan blushed as everyone teased him. Pei Zhi took Huo Jiayuan's hand and said, "You guys play first. I have something to say to Jiayuan."

Everyone could cheer for Huo Jiayuan, but once Pei Zhi opened her mouth, everyone could only obediently nod in agreement.

Pei Zhi led Huo Jiayuan inside, Huo Jiayuan's face still flushed with excitement.

"Jiayuan, today is your birthday, and this is all I can do for you."

Huo Jiayuan asked anxiously, "Why?"

Pei Zhi explained, "I have some urgent business to attend to."

Although Huo Jiayuan was somewhat unwilling, he was just too happy today.

The birthday party Pei Zhi threw for him today far exceeded Huo Jiayuan's expectations.

Pei Zhi must have accumulated a lot of work in order to prepare for his birthday banquet.

"Go ahead."

Pei Zhi tiptoed and pinched Huo Jiayuan's cheek. "You and your friends can stay here for as long as you like. There are many interesting things on the island. You can ask the butler to introduce them to you tomorrow."

Huo Jiayuan nodded, "I understand. You should go now, don't delay your business."

Pei Zhi no longer hesitated; if she didn't board the plane now, it would really be too late.

Huo Jiayuan and Pei Zhi entered the house together, but when they came out, Huo Jiayuan was alone.

"Where is President Pei?"

Huo Jiayuan said frankly, "She had something urgent to attend to and left first."

The atmosphere froze for a moment. At this point, couldn't they just spend the rest of Huo Jiayuan's birthday with him?

Huo Jiayuan's good friend stepped forward and said, "President Pei must have something urgent to do. It's okay, let's all have some fun and eat as usual."

"I feel uncomfortable with President Pei here. It's like having my parents here. I'm being very careful and can't relax and have fun."

"President Pei personally organized Jia Yuan's birthday banquet, which caused him to miss a lot of work. It's good that he's now leaving the space for us and Jia Yuan."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense.

The servants were barbecuing for them in the courtyard, and with President Pei there, they didn't dare to joke around.

President Pei is not like those good-for-nothing rich kids.

Pei Zhi boarded the private jet, and Assistant Gao handed her a paper bag.

"President Pei, this is what you instructed. We paid a little extra and got the house."

Pei Zhi took the leather bag: "Have you already had someone clean it up?"

"We had a professional team clean it up, put up photos of Assistant Xu's parents, and tried our best to restore the room."

"OK."

Pei Zhi put the bag aside, took the blanket handed to her by Assistant Gao, put on an eye mask, and planned to take a nap.

These past few days, Pei Zhi has been busy with work and overseeing Huo Jiayuan's birthday banquet, so she hasn't had a proper rest.

Waiting to go back, then I have to go celebrate Xu Xingran's birthday, so I won't get any rest.

"Assistant Gao."

Assistant Gao was just about to take a break when she said, "Hmm? Mr. Pei, what are you saying?"

"Do you remember Mr. Wang, whom we discussed cooperation with last month?"

Assistant Gao thought for a moment. Wang was a common surname, and for a moment, he really couldn't think of one.

Pei Zhi reminded her, "It's that family that runs a freight company."

Assistant Gao immediately remembered, "I remember, what's wrong?"

“I met her three times in three days, and each time, her boyfriend was different.”

Pei Zhi asked, troubled, "Tell me, how exactly did she manage to keep going?"

"If she has so much free time, can I make money by working with her?"

Seeing one a day, are you that free?

Assistant Gao had no answer to that question.

"Perhaps it's because Mr. Wang's family business is a family enterprise, and his younger brother is the one who really manages it?"

"Really?" Pei Zhi hadn't investigated this. "But I seem to remember that President Wang holds the largest shareholding?"

That's right.

Pei Zhi thought for a moment and understood what was going on; it was just a similar situation to that of the Huo family.

"Although I don't like my mother, there's one thing about her that I quite agree with."

Pei Zhi said calmly, "In her eyes, there is no distinction between men and women. As long as you are outstanding enough, she will support you."

Although it involves raising Gu gu, Pei's mother doesn't care whether the Gu gu is male or female.

Unlike Old Master Huo, who had no intention of leaving his family property to Huo Jiayuan when Huo Jiayuan was young.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have spoiled Huo Jiayuan so much.

Assistant Gao helped Pei Zhi pull the blanket up a bit, "President Pei, please rest for a while, otherwise you won't be able to rest later."

Pei Zhi nodded, closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Xu Xingran, back in China, was leaning against her bed, reading news on her phone.

Regarding Huo Jiayuan's exorbitantly priced birthday banquet.

The last time Xu Xingran saw a report about "sky-high prices," it was also about Huo Jiayuan.

Huo Jiayuan and Pei Zhi's wedding was described by the media as an "astronomical wedding".

Now, they've come up with an exorbitantly priced birthday banquet.

Xu Xingran did not look at the news reports about who attended Huo Jiayuan's birthday party.

Even celebrities who haven't been seen in public for a long time came to congratulate Huo Jiayuan on his birthday.

Xu Xingran clicked on the largest photo, which showed Huo Jiayuan kissing Pei Zhi's cheek.

Pei Zhi, on the other hand, smiled with a happy expression.
