Chapter 112: Phone Screen Saver
Pei Yi'an herself was getting old, and Pei Yuli, whom she brought along, was someone who liked to do research.
Pei Yuli only counted half of his Pei family members, and he couldn't be bothered to care.
But Pei Yutang is different.
Pei Yutang will definitely take over Pei Yi'an's position in the end.
Otherwise, the Pei family, who had finally managed to step into the officialdom, would have to step out again just like they did twenty years ago.
He absolutely will not allow this to happen!!
Only through the combination of business and politics can the Pei family prosper even more!
Pei Yi'an glanced at her father.
Although I did have that thought myself, for some reason, my father's words made me feel a little uncomfortable.
But he still forced a smile.
"Yes, I can do it at the beginning of next month."
Grandpa Pei smiled kindly: "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Yi'an."
Pei Yi'an shook her head.
After saying this, Old Master Pei's gaze fell on Pei Yanzhi, as if he had remembered something.
"By the way, do you know about the negotiations between the Jiang family and companies from Country A?"
Pei Yanzhi nodded slightly: "I've heard a little about it."
Grandpa Pei nodded: "You should all pay close attention. Although the Jiang family only came from Yuncheng a few years ago, their development momentum is extremely strong."
"Our Pei family cannot afford to lose in the business world either."
Everyone ate their meal quietly without responding.
Grandpa Pei then turned his gaze to Pei Yutang: "I heard that the Jiang family's son is also a freshman at Peking University. If you have the chance to get to know him, it would be best if you could become friends."
"But we're just friends, you know?"
He had other plans regarding Pei Yutang's marriage.
Pei Yutang listened to her grandfather's words but didn't seem to feel anything, only nodding faintly.
Those who rely on their families have no say in their social circles or romantic relationships.
In October, it gets dark very early.
Even though evening self-study ends early at Kyoto University, it's still pitch black outside.
Couples can be seen holding hands and walking together everywhere on the street.
Lu Anlan held Xu Yihuan's hand for the 10086th time and sighed.
"I wish I had a boyfriend. I've lived for eighteen years and I've never even touched a man's hand."
Xu Yihuan smiled and said, "If I really asked you to find a boyfriend later, you'd probably find it annoying to have to coax him."
Lu Anlan rested her head on Xu Yihuan's shoulder for two seconds.
"What you say makes sense."
I listlessly took out my phone and started scrolling.
Forget it, nothing beats video games for men. I'll just play a couple of games when I get back to the dorm.
I saw a notification from Xiaolüshu as soon as I opened my phone.
A post seeking help from nearby residents.
Um? !
Lu Anlan's eyes widened.
Isn't this the boy she saw on social media during class today?!
Where did you appear today?
It's 1.1km away, isn't that just a five-minute walk?
Lu Anlan, with her arm around Xu Yihuan's shoulder, stopped abruptly.
Xu Yihuan looked up at Lu Anlan, puzzled.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Anlan's eyes were bright.
"Huanhuan, let's go to the sunset!"
"Didn't I tell you today? There's a handsome young man who's been hanging around there a lot lately, come and see!"
Sunset is a nearby bar with affordable prices, and it's said that the snacks there are better than in many other places.
Xu Yihuan looked at Lu Anlan's phone, following her words.
In the picture, amidst the glitz and glamour, a man in a white shirt stands out, his features delicate and prominent.
She wore black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, making her look timid and well-behaved.
"Is this from our school?" Xu Yihuan asked.
Lu Anlan shook her head: "I don't know. They said no one has seen him before, but he often sits there alone around eight o'clock in the evening!"
As Lu Anlan spoke, his eyes lit up with excitement.
It's almost eight o'clock now!
"Let's go, Huanhuan, let's go take a look. This kind of quality is so cool!!"
Xu Yihuan looked at this face and felt that something about it was familiar, but she just couldn't remember where it was.
Unable to resist Lu Anlan's coquettishness.
Xu Yihuan nodded in agreement.
At this moment, inside the Sunset Tavern.
We opened at 6:30, and it's still early; there aren't many people yet.
Jiang Tingbai sat in the most conspicuous spot right inside the entrance of the tavern.
A glass of wine sat in front of him, and he sipped it slowly.
Despite the various glances cast his way by both boys and girls, Jiang Tingbai maintained a well-behaved demeanor.
After sitting for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Tingbai got up and went to the restroom.
Standing at the sink, Jiang Tingbai took off his glasses and washed his face with water.
Her jet-black hair was slightly damp, and her beautiful eyes were upturned. Without the cover of her glasses, a small brown mole under her eye was fully revealed.
Jiang Tingbai looked coldly at himself in the mirror, his eyes containing a faint mockery.
The phone rang, and Jiang Tingbai answered it.
"Hello?"
"Brother Jiang, how long are you going to stay there? It's been several days already, haven't you vented your anger yet?"
Jiang Tingbai dressed like this in the bar because it was in a university town with many students.
In addition, he has been in a bad mood lately.
If anyone tries to chat him up, he'll drag them into an alley and beat them up.
It works every time.
"What's the rush? Let's wait a couple more days. How could my brother possibly know I'm here if I just stay here for a few days?"
"You've only just returned to China and you're already causing trouble. Isn't that a bit much? How will you explain this to President Jiang?"
The voice on the other end sounded a little worried.
Jiang Tingbai, however, was getting impatient.
"Who cares? That old man only cares about his eldest son anyway."
After saying that, Jiang Tingbai hung up the phone.
Jiang Tingbai was raised abroad from a young age and is only eighteen years old now.
But he's quite impressive; at his age, he managed to complete university studies abroad.
I just graduated this year and returned to China.
Even if he returns to China, the old man will not easily let him take over his company; he wants to leave it to his good-for-nothing eldest son.
I heard that this year that good-for-nothing actually got into Peking University. Even though it's an art academy, it must have made that old man incredibly happy.
Jiang Tingbai lowered his brows, concealing the irritation in his eyes.
I took a deep breath, lifted my leg, and walked out again.
Once she puts on her glasses, she reverts to her well-behaved and innocent demeanor.
As soon as he stepped outside, a girl dressed in revealing clothing spotted him.
His eyes suddenly lit up.
The woman was wearing a spaghetti strap dress and had an extremely hot figure.
Upon seeing Jiang Tingbai, he walked towards Jiang Tingbai with a very clear purpose.
With her flirtatious eyes, she's incredibly persuasive.
Jiang Tingbai took two steps back, as if she was afraid.
Soon, the woman's hand landed on Jiang Tingbai's shoulder.
"Little brother, how about you sit with your sister for a while?"
The woman wore heavy makeup and smiled radiantly.
Jiang Tingbai lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling.
They seemed terrified.
"I...I don't want to."
The woman's hand traced down Jiang Tingbai's slender neck and touched his face.
I patted it gently.
"Don't worry, it's not like I'm not going to give you the money."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tingbai fearfully raised his eyelids and glanced at the woman.
It doesn't matter if you don't look closely; as soon as you look up, your eyes are fixed on the two people who have just come in.
Xu Yihuan and Lu Anlan walked in. As soon as Lu Anlan entered, she saw Jiang Tingbai, but he was being blocked by someone.
I'm not exactly a person overflowing with a sense of justice; I just walked in while looking around.
I hate that I arrived too late, letting this flower be ruined!
Jiang Tingbai's gaze fell on Xu Yihuan's face.
A fleeting look of surprise crossed his eyes.
Is it her?
That useless phone screen saver?
This is getting interesting.
