Pei Zhi took it as Hu Shi flattering her.

"I really didn't know that you thought I was so amazing?"

“Of course,” Hu Shi said firmly, “In my heart, you are omnipotent.”

Pei Zhi is certainly amazing.

If Pei Zhi wasn't shrewd, she wouldn't be able to manipulate three men at the same time.

Then she dumped three more men in one go and disappeared for ten years.

For ten years, these three men couldn't forget Pei Zhi.

As soon as Pei Zhi returned, the three of them swarmed around her like dogs.

Pei Zhi is incredibly capable.

Pei Zhi took the script home. Xie Cinian and Chi Xiuwen had accompanied Pei Zhi on a trip abroad earlier.

They manage such a large company, so they're not really doing nothing.

So after returning from abroad, the group had accumulated a considerable amount of official business.

These past few days, being able to leave work on time every day and have dinner with Pei Zhi has been a great blessing.

Lu Mingxu had a dinner engagement today that he couldn't refuse.

During dinner, Pei Zhi mentioned that she and Hu Shi were preparing to make a movie.

She sincerely recommended to Xie Cinian and Chi Xiuwen that if they had spare money, they could invest some; she believed it would be a sure thing.

Pei Zhi wasn't stupid enough to not use the resources she had right around her.

Then, they go outside, bowing and scraping, trying to get investment from people and make money for others.

The script was fine, and Hu Shih's acting was fine.

With funding and a good production team, how could this movie possibly lose money?

The purpose of getting Xie Cinian and Chi Xiuwen to invest is to help them make money.

Even though they are already very rich, no one would complain about having too much money, right?

Xie Cinian and Chi Xiuwen did not immediately agree just because Pei Zhi mentioned it.

Instead, they said they would read the script after dinner and then make a decision, showing Pei Zhi great respect.

Pei Zhi handed the script to Xie Cinian and Chi Xiuwen, telling them to study it themselves.

Chi Xiuwen picked up the script and began studying it intently, while Xie Cinian held a meeting on the side.

After the annual meeting ended, I saw that Chi Xiuwen was still reading the script.

Xie Cinian joked, "It's just a formality, why did you take it so seriously for so long?"

Pei Zhi spoke up, saying that even if the script was as bad as dog shit, they would still vote for it.

Chi Xiuwen said, "This script is quite interesting."

Xie Ci Nian was not interested in scripts or such.

“Then you can stay with the crew the whole time and take care of Zhizhi at the same time.”

Xie Cinian instructed Chi Xiuwen, "She has a strong personality, so don't let anyone offend her."

Pei Zhi's personality means that she is not one to be bullied, no matter what.

Xie Ci Nian was just worried that if someone caused trouble, Pei Zhi would be unhappy.

"You invest, Hu Shih stars, I find the crew, and she'll be unhappy if anyone else tries to hire her."

Chi Xiuwen thought for a moment and said, "Then it probably means we're really getting old."

"You're more reliable than Lu Mingxu, so I feel at ease."

Lu Mingxu, whom Xie Cinian mentioned, was extremely bored and sent a message to Pei Zhi.

Lu Mingxu was begging Pei Zhi to come and pick him up.

Lu Mingxu is a good boss, but he can't disregard the other partners' feelings.

Having a meal and drinks together is no problem at all.

But these business partners are all men nearing forty, and none of them are content with their lot.

After dinner and a few drinks, my head started spinning, and I even made plans to go to the next event.

There's a club where the new hostesses are really pretty, and I have to take Lu Mingxu there to see them.

Lu Mingxu could only plead with Pei Zhi to come and pick him up.

Pei Zhi's errand fee was very expensive, and Lu Mingxu didn't hesitate to give her a set of top-tier gaming equipment.

Pei Zhi then got up, picked up her car keys, and drove to pick up Lu Mingxu.

After Pei Zhi returned, she applied for new ones for all the expired documents.

Lu Mingxu sent Pei Zhi the address, and as soon as Pei Zhi got out of the car, a waiter came to pick her up.

Pei Zhi didn't know how the waiter recognized her.

Pei Zhi followed the waiter into the elevator, all the way to the door of the private room.

The waiter knocked on the door, and only opened it after hearing a "come in" signal.

"The guests have arrived, I'll be going now."

When Lu Mingxu saw Pei Zhi arrive, he suppressed his excitement and waved to her like a boss.

Lu Mingxu muttered, "Didn't I say I'd be back in a bit? Why are you still looking for me?"

Pei Zhi raised an eyebrow, realizing that Lu Mingxu was putting on an act.

Lu Mingxu pulled out a chair next to him and helped Pei Zhi sit down.

Lu Mingxu shook his head helplessly at his business partner, "It seems I won't be able to go to the next event."

Lu Mingxu smiled wryly: "Look how strict they are at home!"

The partners looked at each other.

One of them asked, "Is Mr. Lu married?"

They've been working with Lu Mingxu for quite some time now, so why haven't they heard a thing about it?

Pei Zhi remained silent and watched as Lu Mingxu began to act.

Lu Mingxu straightened his clothes. "Sigh, I'm already this old, I don't want to be too high-profile."

Lu Mingxu reached out and gently touched the back of Pei Zhi's head. "It's a bit unfair to her."

"Fortunately, she's sensible enough. As long as she can be with me, she doesn't care about anything else."

Pei Zhi didn't speak, but just smiled with her lips pursed, perfectly portraying a shy young girl.

Pei Zhi put her hand under the table, placed it on Lu Mingxu's thigh, and twisted it hard.

Lu Mingxu suddenly widened his eyes, gritted his teeth, and almost made a sound.

Lu Mingxu turned to look at Pei Zhi, his eyes pleading desperately for her mercy.

But Pei Zhi seemed not to see it, and the force in her hand did not decrease in the slightest.

Pei Zhi said gently, "Being able to be with Mingxu is a blessing I earned in my past life. I don't care about anything else."

Upon hearing Pei Zhi's words, a group of business partners looked at Lu Mingxu with envy.

Lu Mingxu pursed his lips, revealing a smile that was even more unsightly than a grimace.

Lu Mingxu gently patted Pei Zhi's hand and then unconsciously called her "Grandma".

Pei Zhi's hands got sore from twisting, so she simply let go.

Lu Mingxu breathed a sigh of relief and gave Pei Zhi a fawning smile.

"Mr. Lu is so lucky to have found such a beautiful wife."

The business partner raised his glass and said, "Although Mr. Lu prefers to keep a low profile, I still wish you both a long and prosperous future."

After hearing this, Lu Mingxu will definitely have to drink a few glasses of wine today.

Once someone starts, the others naturally follow suit; otherwise, they'd seem clueless.

Before long, Lu Mingxu was quite drunk.

"If you ask me, Mr. Lu is really lucky. He's almost forty and he can still find a young girl to marry."

Pei Zhi, who was playing on her phone, suddenly stopped.

"What's so special about this? If I get divorced, I can find a pretty young girl in no time."

One business partner muttered, "Just thinking about my wife at home, with her haggard face, makes me annoyed."
