Looking at Old Madam Su like this, Old Master Pei could see through and understand everything.
He said calmly, "So what does Madam Su mean?"
Madam Su looked at Mr. Pei's amiable demeanor and felt that he had a very good attitude. She then said, "I heard that Mr. Pei knows the vice president of the Xiajing Jewelry Association. I was wondering if it would be possible for my daughter Bai Wei to study with the vice president."
"My Bai Wei is extremely talented in jewelry design. If she can learn from the vice president, the impact of this reputation on the Su family's business may be reduced in the future."
"Also, can the Pei family and the Su family sign another ten-year contract cooperation agreement, just like before?"
The support that the Pei family gave to the Su family before did make the Su family a lot of profits.
Old Madam Su knew very well that Old Master Pei had a wide network of contacts and resources.
It’s just that Mr. Pei is not very willing to use those connections now.
Pei Tingchuan was stunned.
He didn't even know his grandfather had such a relationship.
"Grandpa, do you really know that vice president?"
If the vice president accepts someone as his apprentice, even if the apprentice has no design works, he will attract attention not only in China but also internationally and will have a certain fame.
The person Pei Tingchuan thought of at this moment was Zhao Mengyan.
He wanted to get Zhao Mengyan such a distinguished identity, which would be good for Mengyan's development in the circle.
Mr. Pei laughed and said, "Madam Su has heard a lot. I didn't expect she even knew something as trivial as this."
"I do know the vice president, but he said he won't accept any disciples. He's currently in seclusion creating his work and doesn't want anyone to disturb him."
"Madam, your condition is something I can't fulfill even if I really want to help you."
Mr. Pei directly and politely refused.
"As for that ten-year contract, you know I've stepped down now. The company is still being managed by young people, and I've been out of the loop for a long time."
"If they think the Su family can cooperate, they will naturally sign a contract and continue the cooperation without me saying anything."
To put it bluntly, don't care.
Mrs. Su could no longer maintain the expression on her face.
"Mr. Pei, we are in-laws after all. It was your family that broke off the engagement first, but you didn't even show any sincerity. So, there's no way to break off the engagement."
Old Madam Su now became tough.
She looked at Pei Tingchuan, who seemed restless, and sneered inwardly.
Seeing that the young master of the Pei family seemed to want to cancel the engagement immediately, how could Mr. Pei, as a grandfather who loved his grandson, not agree?
All she needs to do is be tough and Mr. Pei will have to agree.
If you want to cancel the engagement without saying anything, forget it.
No matter how much she hates Su Zhilan, Su Zhilan has to provide benefits to the Su family.
Old Madam Su was calculating all this in her mind.
Little did he know that Mr. Pei didn't buy it at all.
"Madam Su, we're going this way because the Pei and Su families have worked together before, and because you're at least Zhilan's grandmother, so we need to tell you something."
"At the beginning, I signed an agreement with Ling Xue. My Pei family is not betrothed to the Su family, but to Ling Xue's granddaughter. If the time is right, we can cancel the engagement."
"So if Madam Su disagrees, then we don't need to discuss this."
To put it bluntly, Mr. Pei didn't have to make this trip at all.
I came here to show respect and for Su Zhilan's sake.
I was afraid that the Su family would make things difficult for that girl again.
If Madam Su and the others treat Zhilan well, Mr. Pei will naturally be happy to continue cooperating with the Su family.
But when talking with Su Zhilan that day, Mr. Pei found out a lot more and realized that the Su family had been very harsh on Su Zhilan.
In this case, there is no need for him to help the Su family at all.
In a nutshell, if you give Madam Su face but she herself is shameless, then don't blame others for not giving her face.
Old Madam Su's eyes widened, she couldn't believe what she heard.
It was obvious that Mr. Pei had a very good attitude just a second ago, which gave Mrs. Su the illusion that in order to break off the engagement, Mr. Pei had to give up some interests.
Who would have thought that Mr. Pei would not even be tactful.
Madam Su stood up and asked, "Mr. Pei, do you really have to do this?"
Old Madam Su felt uncomfortable and disgusted when she thought of Ji Lingxue.
That’s right, the reason why Su Zhilan got engaged to Pei Tingchuan of the Pei family was because Ji Lingxue had negotiated with the Pei family.
Only after the incident was completed did her Su family find out.
In order to establish a relationship with the Pei family and to control Su Zhilan, the Su family pretended to tell Su Zhilan that they would do their best to treat her grandmother and let her live in the Su family.
He even repeatedly assured Ji Lingxue of certain things.
In fact, after Ji Lingxue fell into a coma, the Su family never took Su Zhilan seriously.
Mr. Pei said, "That's the situation. Madam Su, since you don't agree, we'll leave first."
Pei Tingchuan wanted to say something anxiously, but a look from Old Master Pei made him dare not speak anymore.
Old Madam Su was angry, her eyes were gleaming, and she was embarrassed.
He wanted to persuade him to stay and think of reducing the conditions, but he didn't expect that Mr. Pei would just pull Pei Tingchuan away.
After getting in the car, Pei Tingchuan couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, didn't you promise to cancel the engagement?"
"Is it Su Zhilan who is obstructing this and deliberately refusing to agree?"
"I knew everything she said was false."
Old Master Pei looked at Pei Tingchuan's anxious expression and said, "Why are you so anxious? Have you lost your mind for Zhao Mengyan?"
"And they're deliberately refusing to agree. What do you think you are? A hot commodity?"
"Or do you think everyone else has to revolve around you?"
"Do you think you are the most powerful person in Dongning City?"
"You think too highly of yourself, don't you?"
Old Master Pei rarely criticizes his grandson.
He felt that boys should be bold and daring, and should not be timid and stand still, so he would not usually speak like this to attack Pei Tingchuan.
But at this moment, Mr. Pei really couldn't help but speak out his true feelings.
Pei Tingchuan felt a burning pain on his face when his grandfather said that.
It felt like being slapped in the face.
This reminded him of the slap he received from Su Zhilan that day.
Thinking of what she said, he couldn't help but lower his head.
"You have to remember that there are always people who are better than you. Su Zhilan doesn't look down on you either, so don't worry."
"Su Zhilan broke off the engagement with you a long time ago. She signed the divorce agreement and even returned the tokens."
"If you weren't the eldest grandson, your younger cousin would be younger than you, so it wouldn't be your turn to be engaged to Su Zhilan."
"Pei Tingchuan, remember, this is something you begged me to do. I tried to persuade you but you didn't listen, so I did it for you."
"If you regret it one day, don't blame anyone, and don't come to me. Remember what I said."
When he said this, Mr. Pei looked very serious.
