Mingyao plans to return to the Pei family mansion.

Pei Siyu can't eat food from outside, so she plans to make some and send it over.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw Xu Sitian.

Mingyao's face grew colder inch by inch, and her gaze toward Xu Sitian was filled with a hint of icy coldness.

What are you doing here?

Even if she were acting, she couldn't act in front of Xu Sitian.

In order to return to the company, Xu Sitian did not hesitate to use Meng Zhenzhen to secretly photograph confidential company documents and even colluded with a media company to stir up public opinion online!

Xu Sitian frowned, and her eyes visibly turned red.

Mingyao's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously.

Something's not right.

Sure enough, the next second Xu Sitian burst into tears.

She suddenly grabbed Mingyao's hand, tears streaming down her face, and said, "It's all my fault."

Before Mingyao could react, more than a dozen reporters rushed over.

They carried a camera, and the flash went off across Mingyao's face.

Mingyao frowned deeply, watching Xu Sitian act with a cold expression.

"If I had clarified things earlier, the company wouldn't have been subjected to cyberbullying!"

The reporters quickly shoved the microphone to Mingyao's mouth, bombarding her with questions.

Why fire such an excellent employee as Ms. Xu?

Mingyao felt that these reporters were like flies, buzzing incessantly in her ears.

Mingyao withdrew her hand and said innocently, "I'm sorry, I'm just a receptionist."

"Sister Su, aren't you President Pei's wife?"

"Could you take me to see President Pei?"

"I really know I was wrong."

Xu Sitian said tearfully, "I will be more careful at work in the future and will not let President Pei down again."

Her expression was very sincere, but Mingyao felt disgusted.

Bringing in so many reporters to put pressure on Pei Siyu is a good move!

The reporters exchanged glances and frantically crowded around Mingyao.

"Miss Su, is President Pei trying to steal Miss Xu's design by not hiring her?"

Xu Sitian hurriedly explained, "Everyone has misunderstood. The design was a collaborative effort, not just my work."

"Moreover, the plagiarism accusation is completely unfounded."

The more she praised them, the more the reporters became excited and completely irrational.

Reporters surrounded Mingyao, while Xu Sitian stood aside, seemingly unconcerned.

This was the first time Mingyao had encountered something like this, and she was at a loss for what to do.

Just as she was at a loss, her wrist suddenly tightened.

She was then pulled out of the crowd by a powerful external force.

Mingyao stared blankly at Pei Siyu, who had suddenly appeared.

His face was stern, and he exuded a chilling aura.

He hid Mingyao behind his back and stared intently at the reporters present.

The reporter, who had originally intended to conduct an interview, felt intimidated when he saw Pei Siyu's face, which was as black as coal.

Pei Siyu is not someone that any of them can afford to offend.

Xu Sitian's eyes lit up when she saw Pei Siyu. She composed herself and started crying in front of the camera.

"President Pei, I'm so sorry!"

"I really want to go back to the company. Please, Mr. Pei, give me another chance and let me go back!"

"I will definitely take this job seriously and won't cause President Pei any trouble!"

Her tone was very firm, and the reporters all turned their cameras to her.

Pei Siyu looked at her with a dark expression, and Mingyao's heart tightened slightly.

Pei Siyu hates being threatened the most. How could he possibly agree to Xu Sitian bringing reporters to force him to this point?

Xu Sitian is the same; she keeps saying she likes Pei Siyu, but she brazenly does things that hurt him.

Mingyao clenched her fists, unable to bear it any longer.

She had to expose Xu Sitian's true colors!

Pei Siyu gripped her hand tightly. Mingyao was stunned for a moment, then Pei Siyu suddenly said, "Okay."

Mingyao looked at Pei Siyu in disbelief, and for a moment she thought she had misheard.

Xu Sitian burst into tears of joy and kept bowing to express her gratitude.

After interviewing Pei Siyu and Xu Sitian, the reporters tactfully left.

Xu Sitian looked at Pei Siyu with a wronged expression, "President Pei, I won't cause any more trouble."

Pei Siyu hummed in agreement: "Work hard."

After saying that, he pulled Mingyao away without waiting for Xu Sitian to speak again.

Xu Sitian's smile gradually froze.

It doesn't matter.

Pei Siyu is ignoring her now, but she will make him see her good qualities in the future!

The public outcry that erupted yesterday quickly died down after clarification, as if nothing had happened.

“Honey, Xu Sitian is clearly doing this on purpose.”

Why did you agree to let her join the company?

Pei Siyu glanced at Ming Yao out of the corner of his eye, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Are you angry?"

Mingyao snorted: "Of course I'm angry."

"She's a potential threat in the company; sooner or later she'll cause you trouble again."

Pei Siyu opened the car door and pushed Mingyao inside, saying, "I couldn't be happier."

Mingyao asked in surprise, "Do you have any plans now?"

He smiled mysteriously: "You'll find out when the time comes."

As the car drove along the road, Mingyao suddenly realized something.

"Honey, where are we going now?"

"Go see someone."

Time passed quietly, and the press conference for the technology exhibition was held as scheduled.

The area outside the convention center was packed with journalists and media, as well as representatives from major domestic and international technology companies, making it a hub of talent.

All the company leaders gathered in the lobby, and Mingyao saw Serena, the representative of W country.

Serena, sitting in the front row, seemed to sense something and turned around, her eyes meeting Mingyao's.

Her eyes crinkled into a smile as she took the initiative to greet Mingyao.

Mingyao gave a perfunctory laugh. W Country really couldn't hold back!

After a brief opening, the host brought out a large box containing number plates.

More than 120 companies present were required to draw numbers from a number box; the smaller the number drawn, the earlier they could go on stage.

For most companies, the earlier they take office, the more advantageous it is.

With over 120 companies, there will inevitably be duplicate projects, so the first to appear will be the first to capture the judges' attention.

Investors and judges who appear in the middle may find it boring, and those who come last may become very impatient.

Mingyao never bothered with such petty tricks.

In her view, solid skills can compensate for some of the luck.

More than 120 companies sent representatives to draw prizes. Xu Sitian looked at Mingyao with interest: "Sister Su, you are President Pei's husband, why don't you draw a prize?"

Mingyao drew number 90, which is relatively late in the draw.

"Sister Su is really lucky."

"Hopefully, when it's our turn, the investors and judges will still be interested in listening."

Mingyao rolled her eyes.

She really does seize every opportunity to mock her.

Pei Siyu said coldly, "In the face of absolute strength, luck is insignificant."

Xu Sitian chuckled awkwardly and agreed, "President Pei is right."

The press conference officially began, and each company started to showcase its unique strengths.
