Chapter 154 This time I found true love
Shen Yubai's gaze immediately fell on Pei Huaizhi's hand that was tightly gripping Su Mo's wrist.
The scene was extremely dazzling.
He felt inexplicably depressed.
But when Su Mo saw him, she acted as if she didn't see him. She didn't even bother to look at him and just turned her face away.
What does this woman mean?
Shen Yubai's brows knitted together.
Pei Huaizhi seemed to have seen a savior, his eyes lit up, and he stopped with a smile.
"Boss Shen?"
He spoke in feigned surprise, his voice carrying just the right amount of surprise.
"What a coincidence, you are here too?"
Shen Yubai didn't say anything, just looked at him coldly.
Pei Huaizhi seemed not to feel the low pressure on him and his enthusiasm remained undiminished.
"Oh, I'm Pei Huaizhi, the marketing manager of Zonglian Group."
He shook and held Su Mo's hand, smiling brightly.
“Mr. Shen, thank you for the wine you sent last time.”
"I've been looking for an opportunity to thank you, and I didn't expect to run into it today."
"If you don't mind, please do me a favor and let Momo and I treat you to a simple meal together."
He deliberately emphasized the word "Momo" and spoke in an intimate tone.
That posture made it seem as if he was already Su Mo's official boyfriend.
Su Mo listened from the side, feeling an indescribable irritation rising in his heart.
Every word and every action of Pei Huaizhi was pretending to be intimate, which made her very uncomfortable.
Too deliberate.
Shen Yubai's already gloomy expression turned even colder when he heard the word "Mo Mo".
He looked at Pei Huaizhi's hand that was still holding Su Mo's wrist, his eyes as dark as insoluble ink.
We've only met a few times, and you're just letting someone hold your hand?
The inexplicable fire in my heart was rising.
He should have walked away, out of sight, out of mind.
But for some unknown reason, he looked at Su Mo's profile as she turned away, and his thin lips opened slightly.
"good."
In one word, cool and decisive.
Pei Huaizhi's face lit up with joy, his goal was achieved.
But Su Mo turned her head abruptly and looked at Shen Yubai in disbelief.
Is he sick?
They were dating, couldn't he tell?
What's more, Pei Huaizhi was obviously flattering.
She could see it, but Shen Yubai couldn't.
If he can see all this, then he is really blind and deserves to lose everything in his business.
Chen Yubai didn't look at her, but turned around and said to the waiter behind him: "Open a private room."
His posture was calm, with his original ruffian spirit.
In the private room, the crystal chandeliers are bright and the style is warm.
There were three of them, sitting at a small round table, and the atmosphere was hard to describe.
Chen Yubai leaned lazily on the back of the chair, his long legs crossed, looking like a master.
Pei Huaizhi was holding his hands together to light a cigarette for him.
Su Mo felt inexplicably upset. She was planning to develop a boyfriend with him, but now he felt like a palace eunuch.
Chen Yubai glanced at Su Mo without saying anything, just tapping the table with his fingertips.
The gentle tapping sound made Su Mo a little irritated.
Taking a deep puff of cigarette, he raised his eyelids and looked at Pei Huaizhi with a half-smile.
"Mr. Pei is very gentleman."
"Mr. Shen, you are too kind."
Pei Huaizhi smiled warmly and looked at Su Mo, "Momo, order some food. It's rare to meet Mr. Shen."
Chen Yubai narrowed his eyes, his smile not reaching his eyes, "It is indeed rare. It is such a coincidence. Should we have something to drink to cheer us up?"
Pei Huaizhi nodded immediately, with a flawless smile on his face.
“Of course, Mr. Shen, please order whatever you want to drink.”
Su Mo's heart was filled with alarm.
She knew Shen Yubai too well.
This person definitely has no good intentions when he behaves like this.
It was impossible for him not to see that Pei Huaizhi was deliberately trying to get close to him.
Sure enough, the next second, Shen Yubai snapped his fingers at the waiter at the door.
"Bring me that bottle of wine from last time, and another one."
The waiter nodded respectfully: “Okay, Mr. Shen.”
The smile on Pei Huaizhi's face froze instantly.
That bottle from last time?
The number on the bill from the last time he paid the bill flashed through his mind.
One hundred and eighteen thousand.
That was nearly three months' salary for him.
He is treating us to today's meal.
Will Chen Yubai still get a free meal?
Su Mo noticed the unnatural look that flashed across Pei Huaizhi's face, and could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.
She glared at Shen Yubai fiercely and lowered her voice.
“Chen Yubai, what do you mean?”
"It's just a meal, is it necessary to drink such expensive wine?"
Chen Yubai raised his eyebrows, his eyes swept across Pei Huaizhi's face, and finally fell back on her angry little face.
He chuckled, a hint of amusement in his voice.
"Is it expensive? This is the kind of wine I usually drink, you know."
Su Mo: ...
It seemed to be true. He had dinner with Lu Tingzhou and the wine they drank was not cheap.
"Besides," he saw that she didn't say anything, and leaned forward slightly, staring at her with his peach blossom eyes, "You know, I'm only interested in two things in my life."
"Good wine and women."
The last syllable of his words was drawn out meaningfully, and his eyes, like hooks, scraped across Su Mo's cheek nakedly.
It seems to be saying that when you have a woman, you should have good wine with her.
Su Mo's face suddenly turned red, and it was unclear whether it was because of anger or shame.
She bit her back teeth and squeezed out each word from between her teeth.
"Chen, Yu, Bai, what's wrong with you today?"
Pei Huaizhi listened to the conversation between the two people from the side, and the uneasiness in his heart was gradually replaced by joy.
The more intense the quarrel, the more unusual the relationship.
Judging from the intimacy of this conversation, Shen Yubai and Su Mo should be extremely familiar friends.
It seems that there is hope for my drone project.
Chen Yubai paid no attention to Su Mo's anger at all, but instead spread his hands nonchalantly.
"What did I do?"
He asked lazily, his eyes becoming more playful.
"Didn't your boyfriend treat me to dinner? Why, now you can't even bear to part with a bottle of wine?"
"Su Mo," he said, his voice drawn out, calling her name, "When have you ever been so stingy when I treat you to dinner and drinks?"
"Is our traditional culture based on reciprocity?"
Every sentence is full of thorns and every word is heart-wrenching.
Su Duo was so angry that her chest was heaving, and she was about to speak and push this bastard against the wall.
Pei Huaizhi beside him took a deep breath and spoke first.
A warm smile appeared on his face again, as if the stiffness just now had never existed.
He reached out and patted the back of Su Mo's hand affectionately.
"Momo, don't be like this."
“It’s my honor to have dinner with Mr. Shen.”
"It's just a bottle of wine, nothing special. You're just too considerate of me."
These words were flawless, showing his generosity while also secretly confirming his and Su Mo's "couple" relationship.
Shen Yubai's gaze slowly fell on Pei Huaizhi's hand.
His eyes suddenly turned cold.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at Su Mo again, but the smile on his lips became deeper and colder.
"Oh? Really?"
“I haven’t seen that.”
"I've never seen you be so cautious in interacting with someone."
He looked Su Mo up and down, with undisguised mockery in his eyes.
"When you're with me, you're always yelling and yelling."
"Not feminine at all."
"It seems that I have found true love this time."
Su Mo stared at him, feeling that the air in the entire private room became thin and strange.
This Chen Yubai was here to deliberately ruin her career today.
This statement is very misleading.
What do you mean I don't feel feminine at all when I'm with him?
When did they get together?
Just then, the waiter came in pushing an exquisite dining cart, holding the priceless bottle of red wine in his hand.
Open the bottle, decant the wine, and pour it into a crystal glass.
The series of movements are smooth and full of ritual.
The deep red wine swayed under the light, emitting a charming luster and the smell of money.
Chen Yubai glanced at the angry girl across from him, then raised his hand and started picking up some food.
The posture is elegant, yet distant.
Seeing this, Pei Huaizhi knew he couldn't wait any longer.
He cleared his throat and said quickly: “Mr. Shen, there is something I want to talk to you about.”
"Our company is currently researching a drone development project. The technology is already quite mature, but... we're still short of start-up capital."
"I wonder if Mr. Shen is interested in this field?"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Yubai nervously and rubbed his hands secretly.
Shen Yubai poured a glass of wine and shook it gently. The scarlet wine flowed over the wall of the glass, which was very beautiful.
He raised his eyelids and glanced at Su Mo, who was silent at the moment.
Then, he spoke lazily, with no emotion in his voice.
"If you have any project problems, please prepare a plan and go directly to our project department."
“That’s the process.”
Pei Huaizhi's heart sank.
Is this... a rejection?
"Once the evaluation is passed, the plan will naturally arrive on my desk. There's no rule of handing it to me directly." Shen Yubai added slowly.
In one sentence, Pei Huaizhi was completely blocked.
Just when Pei Huaizhi's face turned pale and he could hardly maintain his smile.
Chen Yu changed his tone.
He put down the wine glass, and the bottom of the glass hit the table, making a crisp sound.
"but……"
He looked at Su Mo, with an ambiguous smile on his lips.
"Since you are Su Mo's friend, this rule can be made an exception this time."
Pei Huaizhi's eyes lit up instantly, "Thank you, Mr. Shen."
I thought the money I spent tonight was not wasted.
I only heard Shen Yubai continue: "Let's do this."
"Just hand the plan to my assistant on Monday."
Chen Yubai's light words made Pei Huaizhi feel more at ease.
He worked harder in picking up food and toasting.
Su Mo felt that he was redundant.
The meal was tasteless.
After leaving the Royal Court Club, the evening breeze was dry.
After dinner, Pei Huaizhi opened the car door for Su Mo like a gentleman, with an expression of uncontrollable excitement on his face.
"Momo, thanks to you and Mr. Shen being friends, I've been preparing for this project for a long time. I have to thank you very much after it's done."
Su Mo didn't say anything and sat in the passenger seat in silence.
Outside the car window, Shen Yubai had changed into a black Cullinan today. The engine let out a low roar, brushed past their car body, and sped away.
The blowing wind seemed to still carry the cynical air from him.
Su Mo's heart was inexplicably irritated.
