Chapter 333: The Right Bet (Finale)
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Jiahe went to the Pei family in person to pay New Year's greetings, carrying gifts and red envelopes.
"Happy New Year, Xiang Xiang." He stuffed a thick red envelope into Xiang Xiang's arms and pinched her soft and chewy cheeks.
"Thank you, Uncle Lin." Pei Xingzhi thanked him on behalf of Xiang Xiang.
Lin Jiahe smiled gently: "You're welcome."
Then he took out an even thicker red envelope from his coat pocket and handed it respectfully to Xie Zhaoyuan.
"Happy New Year, sister-in-law."
Xie Zhaoyuan was ready to take it, but was caught off guard by Lin Jiahe's call of "sister-in-law" and was so frightened that he retracted his hand.
"...What did you call me?" Xie Zhaoyuan looked at him blankly, his mind a little confused.
Lin Jiahe kept smiling and said confidently, "Sister-in-law."
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law?" Xie Zhaoyuan had a dull expression and hadn't yet reacted to what this title meant.
"Why did you call me that?" She was a little confused.
Lin Jiahe raised his eyebrows and did not explain the question. Instead, he cast an ambiguous look at Pei Lingxuan on the other side.
Seeing this, Pei Lingxuan immediately came over reluctantly.
"Sister-in-law..." She raised her hand and held Xie Zhaoyuan's arm, leaning on her and acting coquettishly, "I call you sister-in-law, and he also calls you sister-in-law, don't you understand what this means?"
"..." Xie Zhaoyuan blinked blankly, her confused eyes moving back and forth between Pei Lingxuan and Lin Jiahe. After a long while, she finally realized what was happening.
"Oh my god!" Her eyes suddenly widened, her eyes and expression were full of gossip, "Are you two doing this?"
"Well..." Pei Lingxuan buried her head in embarrassment and stammered, "It's done. It just happened last night. He came to me with a trunk full of flowers after eating the New Year's Eve dinner."
"I thought he was quite sincere, so I agreed to his request..."
"Oh..." Xie Zhaoyuan laughed in a weird way, "The young couple is quite romantic..."
Lin Jiahe: "How can you get a girlfriend if you're not romantic?"
"...sour and smelly." Xie Zhaoyuan curled his lips with a wicked smile, then picked up Pei Lingxuan and threw her into Lin Jiahe's arms.
"Go ahead, go on a date and spend some time alone together. There's nothing to do at home anyway."
Pei Lingxuan blushed and before she even went out, she quietly held Lin Jiahe's hand.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. Let's go out and play."
"Go ahead." Pei Yulin walked out of the kitchen holding a spatula. "Be careful on the way. If you don't come back for dinner, remember to tell mom."
"Okay." Pei Lingxuan took her bag from the cabinet beside her, said "goodbye" to several people in the room, and went out happily holding Lin Jiahe's hand.
"Ah..." Xie Zhaoyuan crossed his arms, sighed, and turned to look at Ye Ci on the sofa, "Xiao Xuan and Lin Jiahe are both together, when will our Xiao Ye find a partner?"
“…” The nuts in Ye Ci’s hand suddenly lost their fragrance.
Pei Xingzhi put Xiangxiang in the cradle and echoed Xie Zhaoyuan's words: "Ye Ci, when will you find a girlfriend for us?"
“……”Ye Ci felt that he had been seriously insulted.
He didn't want to talk, so he just took out his phone and sent a voice message on WeChat to his mother.
"Mom, I want to go on a blind date! I want to go on a blind date right now! It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, as long as the other person is a human being, I'll go on a blind date!"
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”
Several people in the room laughed loudly.
"hey-hey……"
"Hey……"
Even Xiang Xiang in the cradle started grinning foolishly.
——
On the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, Love Law ended its internal testing and was officially launched on major app stores.
In order to help promote the show, Xie Zhaoyuan worked overnight to create the secondary images of the five male protagonists, which made "The Law of Love" a hot topic as soon as it was released.
Due to the good performance of the early internal tests, Xie Zhaoyuan and Duan Jialu actively mobilized fans to promote the Law of Love. Therefore, once the Law of Love was launched, the number of downloaders exceeded 500,000 at a terrifying speed, and the recharge flow on the first day was as high as more than 3 million.
Such excellent data completely exceeded everyone's expectations, and Pei Xingzhi's name was on the hot search list for several days.
But what is different from the past is that this time the hot searches no longer involve any rumors or insults, but are full of praise and envy.
They praised him for his natural business acumen and his courage to start over again. They envied him for having such a happy family at such a young age, and even for having a wife who is a super capable internet celebrity.
With the bankruptcy of Lu's Group and the decline of Qin's Group, Zhuyuan Technology and Xie's Technology were gradually pushed to the position of leading enterprises in Yuncheng.
However, since Zhuyuan Technology is still just a studio, the top 1 position in Yuncheng undoubtedly falls to Xie Technology.
Regarding this issue, some media specifically raised questions to Pei Xingzhi at the celebration party for The Law of Love.
"Boss Pei, Xie's Technology is now firmly in the top position of Yuncheng Enterprises, crushing Zhuyuan Studio under its feet. Do you feel unwilling in your heart?"
Pei Xingzhi pushed his glasses and replied with a smile: "Of course not. Zhuyuan Studio and Xie's Technology are originally one family, so how can we talk about whether we are willing to accept it? Besides, the strength of Xie's Technology is obvious to all. It is normal for Zhuyuan Studio to be crushed by it."
"Boss Pei," another reporter asked, "I heard that Zhuyuan Technology has found a new office building and will soon upgrade from a studio to a company. Is this true?"
"Yes." Pei Xingzhi admitted generously, "The new office building is already being renovated. It won't be long before everyone can see the new look of Zhuyuan Technology."
"In addition, Zhuyuan Technology is recruiting employees. If you need a job, please send your resume to Zhuyuan Technology."
"Congratulations!"
Everyone in the meeting hall applauded and cheered for the good news.
"Boss Pei." A reporter in a black suit stood up from his chair with a microphone in his hand. "Everyone outside is praising Boss Pei for his intelligence and ability. Even if he hit rock bottom, he could still make a comeback. So I want to ask, what did you rely on to make a comeback and make Pei Xingzhi's name known throughout Yuncheng again?"
Hearing this question, Pei Xingzhi's eyes suddenly became dazed, and almost subconsciously, he turned his gaze to Xie Zhaoyuan who was sitting below.
Xie Zhaoyuan didn't like this kind of occasion, and she didn't like dealing with all kinds of people in this kind of occasion, so she didn't go on stage at today's celebration party, but ate and drank downstairs with her good sisters.
At this moment, she was holding a bottle of sweet water in one hand and a piece of freshly baked pizza in the other, and was looking forward to Pei Xingzhi's answer like everyone else.
Pei Xingzhi looked at her and smiled, then said softly, "It's thanks to Xie Zhaoyuan, my wife."
"ah?"
Everyone in the meeting place was shocked, including Xie Zhaoyuan himself.
She opened her big, round, bright eyes and looked at Pei Xingzhi in confusion and surprise. There was an ambiguous red mark on her fair neck.
Pei Xingzhi's eyes softened, and his tone of voice instantly became gentle.
"If it weren't for my Ayuan who has always been by my side to support me and accompany me, and was the first to step forward and invest two million in the Law of Love, I, Pei Xingzhi, might not be sitting in front of you and chatting with you comfortably now."
"Those people outside only know that I, Pei Xingzhi, have made a comeback, but they don't know that it was Xie Zhaoyuan who supported me all the time, which allowed me to make such a smooth comeback. To me, Xie Zhaoyuan is not only my wife, she is my closest partner and the most important person in my life."
"She is the one I should thank the most for my success today. Without her, I would never be where I am today. Everything I have is given by her. She is my only support."
“Wow…”
These corny yet affectionate words moved everyone present.
The cameras that were originally filming him turned to face Xie Zhaoyuan on the other side because of his words.
Xie Zhaoyuan did not dodge or evade, and just let the camera film him openly.
"Ms. Xie, facing Mr. Pei's affectionate confession, do you have anything to say in response?" a reporter asked curiously.
"Ms. Xie must have..."
"Miss Xie, please say something..."
Other reporters followed suit.
Xie Zhaoyuan smiled embarrassedly but didn't say a word. Instead, he put down the drink in his hand and blew Pei Xingzhi a kiss.
Pei Xingzhi on the stage firmly received her kiss, and then treasured it in his heart.
She looked at this high-spirited man and her heart beat faster unconsciously.
"Eh..." She sighed contentedly, and said in a voice that only she could hear:
"I bet on the right horse..."
