Facing the old lady of the Pei family, Cui Zhen just nodded slightly: "Master Buddha."
"I heard the situation along the coast of Country D was extremely serious. The situation was prevented from spreading because the Grand Steward personally rushed to handle it. The Cui family has indeed always been the protective umbrella of the Pei family," said the old lady of the Pei family. "Thanks to the Grand Steward for his hard work this time."
Cui Zhen replied, "Devoting oneself to the Pei family is the ancestral motto of the Cui family and even more so, it's our mission. Being able to help the Pei family solve their problems is not only my duty but also my honor."
Pei Huaijin: "General Manager."
Cui Zhen responded: "Second Young Master."
When Cui Zhen's gaze fell on Ji Yuqi, Pei Quyan interrupted in time, "Boss, let me introduce you. This is the Pei family's eldest daughter-in-law, Ji Yuqi. It's so unfortunate, but something went wrong at the chaebol building, and Yucheng left the house to deal with it. I can't welcome you today, Boss. I apologize on behalf of Yucheng. I hope you don't take it to heart."
Pei Quyan immediately said to Ji Yuqi, "Hurry up and say hello to the president."
Ji Yuqi quickly said politely, "Hello, President."
Cui Zhen nodded upon hearing this. However, his eyes inadvertently passed over Ji Niancheng, who was standing next to Ji Yuqi. It had not been long since they last met. However, Ji Niancheng's body was obviously much stronger.
A cold light suddenly flashed in Cui Zhen's eyes.
However, he concealed it very well.
It's fleeting.
"The Pei family has been able to reach heights unattainable by other families in just five years, all thanks to Master Pei's meticulous planning and strategic planning. Within the Pei family, I am merely an insignificant steward. Master Pei naturally cannot let my influence affect the Pei family's affairs. If my influence were to affect the Pei family's development, I would become the most unforgivable sinner for both the Pei and Cui families."
On the surface, Cui Zhen's words sounded very nice.
But, we can't go into it too deeply.
The four words "insignificant" alone are rich in meaning.
Pei Quyan heard this, but he didn't dare to lower the smile on his face. He could only change the subject: "Boss, if you don't eat now, the food will get cold."
Originally, Ji Yuqi didn't notice anything unusual.
It was not until Cui Zhen walked into the main hall surrounded by a crowd of people, and his eyes fell on Ji Niancheng, that Ji Yuqi felt a chill down his spine.
Ji Yuqi stood there stiffly.
Cui Zhen's look, though light, was extremely cold.
There was a hint of murderous intent.
Pei Huaijin saw Ji Yuqi standing there, staring at Cui Zhen's back for a long time, his eyes unfocused. He paused for a moment, then turned back. "Ji Yuqi, what's with that expression on your face?! What? You can't control your eyes just because the chief steward is so handsome?! It's a good thing my brother isn't here, otherwise, if you stared at the Pei family chief steward like that, you would have been torn to pieces long ago."
“…” Ji Yuqi.
Is the chief steward handsome?!
She clearly thinks the chief steward is intimidating, okay!!
When Ji Yuqi led Ji Niancheng into the restaurant, Pei Quyan had already led Cui Zhen to sit down.
Seeing where Cui Zhen sat, Ji Yuqi frowned deeply.
Pei Yucheng is not here today, so the main seat naturally belongs to Pei Quyan.
However, the person sitting in the second main seat was Cui Zhen.
Just a slave, not only could he eat at the same table with Pei's family, but he could even sit directly in the second most important seat?!
Of course, during the meal, Ji Yuqi discovered that Cui Zhen's unfriendly gaze always fell on Ji Niancheng consciously or unconsciously.
Ji Yuqi didn't know what Cui Zhen was up to, but she was already alarmed...
