Chapter 379 Why can’t this boss be you?

The status update on New Year’s Eve was just four simple words: Happy New Year’s Eve.

Don't think too much, this development will soon reach the attention of certain people.

…

They were celebrating the festival in Beijing, with lights and fireworks blooming in every house around them, but Pei Yi's home was lonely and deserted.

Pei Yi opened a bottle of wine, wanting to take advantage of this auspicious day to taste it.

A message popped up on my phone.

This is the person he arranged to spy on Si Zhuo's circle of friends.

Normal dynamic content naturally cannot be transmitted to him.

Showing affection again!

It’s still such a heartwarming scene.

I can't even taste the fine wine.

Pei Yi laughed angrily and repeatedly enlarged and reduced the photo.

"I don't let my sister go even when she's asleep."

"Si Zhuo, you are so petty and cunning."

He admitted that this photo of Si Zhuo did cause a great blow to his young mind.

"Rose Seal, he has what I have, what a smart imitator."

Pei Yi was certain that the last time Si Zhuo posted a rose seal on his Moments was because he had one, and Si Zhuo also forced Qiu Manman to make one for him.

It could also make Si Zhuo unhappy, and Pei Yi's depressed feeling in his heart was relieved a lot.

There are fresh roses in the vase on the table.

Pei Yi took down a branch and plucked off the petals one by one.

"They're getting divorced today."

"They won't get divorced this year."

“They’re going to get divorced.”

“They’re not getting divorced.”

After picking up the last petal, it said 'They won't get divorced this year'. Pei Yi didn't believe it, so he picked up the petals scattered on the ground and counted them again.

This time it starts with the fact that they will not get divorced this year.

So in the end, they will get divorced this year.

Pei Yi smiled when he came to this conclusion. "I'm just waiting for them to get divorced this year."

…

New Year's Day.

Qiu Manman completely forgot when she fell asleep yesterday, and when she woke up she was already lying in bed.

Realizing today's day, Qiu Manman happily moved the pillow away.

A red envelope.

Two, three, four, five, six.

Six red envelopes with auspicious numbers inside.

The largest red envelope amount belongs to Si Zhuo.

He prepared two.

The rest were red envelopes from Xiao Liu, Yu Shu, and Yu Jiyue.

Qiu Manman went out with a red envelope in her pocket and wearing bright red clothes prepared for the New Year.

She put the red envelope in her pocket and walked around waving her hand to greet the people downstairs.

"Happy New Year, husband."

"Happy New Year, Auntie."

"Happy New Year, Sister Yu Shu."

"Happy New Year, Xiao Liu."

Yu Shu glanced at her and asked, "Are you happy?"

Qiu Manman was waiting for someone to talk to her, so she shook her shirt pocket.

"How do you know I received the red envelope?"

"I..." Yu Shu wanted to say: I don't know at all!

Yu Jiyue smiled and said, "Manman, you are so cute. I will give you red envelopes every year from now on."

"Auntie, how do you know this is meant to wish me prosperity?"

Yu Jiyue laughed even louder.

Xiao Liu ate some melon seeds, "Okay, I know you received a lot of New Year's money, so where is my red envelope?"

"Oh yeah, wait a minute."

Qiu Manman also prepared red envelopes for them.

She went upstairs and came down with several red envelopes.

"Sister Yu Shu, this is yours."

"Ms. Xiao Liu, this is yours."

Xiao Liu took the red envelope and pointed at the remaining red envelope in her hand, "Why do you still have some?"

"This is for our little brother."

Si Chao started talking about saving New Year's money a long time ago.

Qiu Manman wants to give New Year's money to people younger than herself.

Fortunately, there are not many people who are younger than her and need to support her financially.

"Why does he have three red envelopes? No matter what, you treat me differently. I'm unhappy and need your coaxing." Xiao Liu pretended to be angry and raised his chin proudly.

Qiu Manman: "Because he is young."

“…”

There is no need to compare yourself with children.

Xiao Liu just made a fuss for a while and that was it.

Si Zhuo stretched out his hand, "Come and sit down."

[You're just short of writing the words "lean on my arms" on your face. ]

Qiu Manman is very excited now. She can't sit still, so she goes outside for a run to burn off some energy.

When she came back, there was another car parked at the entrance of Jiashui Bay.

The car window rolled down, revealing a handsome face.

"Happy New Year, sister."

Pei Yi is trying to find a way forward.

Autumn is long and unrequited, and I greet you with a smile, "Happy New Year."

She took out three New Year's Eve money and asked, "Which one do you want?"

"Sister, you know I'm coming today? I'm a little happy."

Pei Yi drew the one in the middle.

Of course we should welcome those who come to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the New Year.

Pei Yi took the New Year's gift money and walked in, and looked at Si Zhuo in the living room.

"My hairstyle is not done well today." Pei Yi casually combed her hair, mainly to show the red envelope she had just received.

"Hey, isn't this the young master? You are the first person from Jiashui Bay to come and pay New Year's greetings." Xiao Liu smelled gunpowder from a distance.

Si Zhuo: "If you are not good, it is useless to do any hairstyle."

Yu Jiyue moved her feet and whispered to Xiao Liu, "What's going on?"

Xiao Liu: "When two rivals meet, they are extremely jealous. But I'm used to it, so don't be too surprised."

Yu Jiyue was surprised to hear the word "rival in love" out of the blue.

On second thought, this is normal.

Si Zhuo's methods can indeed easily get rid of a love rival.

The fundamental reason why he didn't do anything so cruel is: respect.

Everyone has the right to like the long autumn.

Depriving others of the right to like Qiu Manman, if Qiu Manman heard about this behavior, she would probably be laughed at.

A mature man will only make himself better and surpass those pursuers.

Yu Jiyue walked up to Si Zhuo and said, "Nephew, you have done a great job. We are stable, and outside talents will not be able to take advantage of us."

Si Zhuo said in a deep voice: "I understand everything;"

These words did not hurt Pei Yi at all, and he did not find them difficult to accept at all.

"Sister, can I stay for a quick meal?"

"It's lonely to spend New Year's Eve alone."

Yu Shu said: "Why would you feel lonely when you are alone? I don't feel lonely when I am alone. Are you a child?"

Pei Yi was insulted, and his face was full of excitement.

Yu Jiyue came to Pei Yi, looked him up and down, nodded thoughtfully, "The problem of loneliness is easy to solve, just find someone to marry."

“…………”

"I'm afraid it won't work. The person I like is already married, and I won't consider it until she gets divorced." Pei Yi took the opportunity to show his affection.

Others are just pretending.

This is what Pei Yi thought from the bottom of his heart.

Yu Jiyue was an experienced person and was standing next to Si Zhuo, so it was easy for her to hear the hidden meaning in these words.

The protagonist of the topic, Qiu Manman, quietly retreated to the back.

Judging from the layout of the entire living room.

The topic of several people seemed to have nothing to do with Qiu Manman.

In fact, every sentence and every word is about her.

Yu Shu also took a few steps back and bumped her arm, "You are not a decent person."

"You are wrongly accusing me. This is not the first time we have discussed this. I have told Pei Yi many times not to be obsessed with me. I am just a legend. It is useless."

Yu Shu murmured: "That's true. I don't want to be obsessed with you either."

"ah?"

[Girl, there's something wrong with you. You rarely think of putting me first. ]

Si Zhuo suddenly turned his head, his dark eyes fixed on Qiu Manman.

Qiu Manman squinted her eyes and looked at me. Why?

Then, his eyes shifted and looked at Yu Shu.

Yu Shu felt a chill from this gaze, and couldn't take it so he hid behind Qiu Manman.

"Has cousin always been like this?"

"He's usually very normal. Maybe he had a stress reaction after meeting his love rival on New Year's Day," Qiu Manman explained.

Yu Jiyue tried to persuade him earnestly, "It's not good to fall in love with a married woman. Listen to me, we can't do anything immoral."

"Morality is used to constrain people with morality. I don't have it, so it's hard for it to constrain me."

Pei Yi didn't care.

Yu Jiyue pointed at Qiu Manman and said, "Manman is a moral person."

"Really? That's even better. A moral person should be worthy of an immoral person like me."

“…”

"You two can't be together." Yu Jiyue explained stubbornly, "People with different values ​​can't go far."

"My values ​​follow my sister's. I don't ask for too much, and I can accept being an outsider."

It was the first time that Yu Jiyue heard a man so openly say that he wanted to be a mistress.

She was so shocked that she remained silent for a long time.

You say east, he says west.

Playing the lute to a cow.

This doesn't make any sense.

Yu Jiyue felt tired, "I'll go get a glass of water."

"Excuse me, who are you?"

Yu Jiyue: "Aunt Si Zhuo."

"......?" Pei Yi couldn't help but be surprised.

When did Si Zhuo have a relative who is his aunt?

Looking at these people's relaxed attitude, did they all stay at Jiashuiwan last night?

Pei Yi felt very regretful when he thought of this.

If I had known, he would have come here yesterday.

Jiashui Bay has already taken in three people, so it won't be a problem to take in one more.

Such a good opportunity was missed in vain.

"Sister, what are your plans after the New Year?" Pei Yi asked loudly.

"One hand is about love, the other hand is about career."

"Would you like to try it with me?" Pei Yi answered casually.

Qiu Manman clenched her fist and said, "Try my fist first."

“…”

Pei Yi became serious. If he continued talking about this topic, he could foresee that he would be kicked out.

"My career has begun to shift to Beijing, and I will spend a lot of time in Beijing this year."

"Men should focus on their careers before they turn 30." Qiu Manman hooked her fingers and made plans for his life.

"In novels, the 30-year-old overlords have already built a business empire. If you were 30, you could do the same. I can brag about it when I go out."

"Come on Pei Yi, I'm rooting for you."

Pei Yi smiled, "Are you serious?"

"It's more real than wife cakes without a wife. Mainly because I heard that the heartless and loveless boss has a great career."

"If that makes sense, I wonder why this boss can't be you? Especially since you are still young."

Pei Yi lowered his eyes and said, "I'll go get a glass of water."

Yu Jiyue saw his decadent look and knew that he was hit.

There is a saying that is also true.

The more you love, the more you know how to hurt others the most.

The beauty of autumn is that even if I don’t love you, I can still hurt you.

Yu Jiyue now believed that she and Si Zhuo were definitely heading in a two-way direction.

No wonder Si Zhuo is so patient.

There is no truly competitive rival yet.

Pei Yi is unrequited love.

No chance.

When Yu Jiyue was happy, she liked to run around. Now she asked them again, "Do you want to eat any fruit? I'll go prepare it."

Pei Yi drank a glass of ice water and regained some of his sanity.

"Aunt, how long do you plan to live in Jiashui Bay?"

Yu Jiyue became alert and said, "We will leave today."

Pei Yi uttered an "oh". From this simple word, one could also read a little regret from him.

Yu Shu: "Mom, I want to eat strawberries."

The mother and daughter went into the kitchen together to prepare.

Qiu Manman went upstairs and prepared another red envelope, which contained New Year's money for Sichao.

Nearing noon, Yu Jiyue prepared meals for several people, and it was another very sumptuous table.

Pei Yi took a few bites and wanted to find fault with it, but he didn't expect it to be so tasty.

I'll let it go this time.

After dinner, Yu Jiyue and Yu Shu prepared to leave.

"Xiao Pei, will you come with us?"

Pei Yi: "You go first."

"To be honest, our car broke down and we wanted you to drive us there. We've already eaten and we can't stay overnight." Yu Jiyue dragged him out.

Of course their car was not damaged.

Just want to get Pei Yi away.

Pei Yi gritted his teeth and nodded, no matter how unwilling he was, "I'll take you there."

…

The car was driving on the busy road.

Pei Yi finally remembered to ask, "Where do you live?"

"We are staying in a hotel for now, but we are planning to buy a house in the neighbourhood next to Jiashui Bay, which will be closer so that we can take care of my eldest nephew in the future."

Yu Shu frowned, saying too much.

Pei Yi's mind moved slightly, thinking to himself, isn't this a coincidence?

The idea is to hit a block.

As for the purpose, Pei Yi mainly followed the saying that those who are close to the water will get the moon first.

"Oh, look, I live in the north of the city, which is quite far from here, so it's not easy to come here."

Yu Jiyue's face lit up with joy.

This is the effect we want.

Yu Jiyue: "Houses near Jiashui Bay are rarely for sale. The location is really good."

"Yes."

Pei Yi agreed.

But he soon realized that something was wrong.

It was not until after sending Yu Jiyue and the others to the hotel that Pei Yi returned home and received a call from the agent.

The problem really occurred.

After much difficulty getting in touch with the seller of the house, he changed his mind and said he was not selling it anymore.

Pei Yi checked and found out that if the owner's children went abroad to study and settle down, he would definitely sell the house.

The only thing that could go wrong is -

Aunt Si Zhuo.

Pei Yi poured a glass of wine and said, "I'm willing to add another two million."

intermediary:"!"

"Mr. Pei, this...you put us in a difficult position."

Pei Yi did not comment, "Ask the owner what he means."

"Okay, I'll go ask now."

On the other side, the mother and daughter returned to the hotel and solved the most important accommodation problem as soon as possible.

Just as we agreed on a time to meet and sign the contract, I received a call from the agent.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Yu, the owner has thought about it and decided not to sell it anymore. He decided to keep it for himself."

Yu Jiyue thought he had a sure win, but something went wrong.

"Impossible. Didn't you say that the head of the household immigrated to Country C and he was not satisfied with the exchange terms I proposed?"

What a coincidence is that the place where the head of the household immigrated to is Country C, and Yu Jiyue just happened to have connections in that area.

intermediary:"……"

Yu Jiyue: "I am willing to pay 2 million above the market price. Please ask the owner to consider it."

There was regret there.

I guess they were concerned that she was just drawing big cakes and the promised benefits were not delivered when she arrived in Country C.
