Chapter 121 You Can't Do Any of Them
Guan Yan chatted with Pei Wu for half an hour, while simultaneously chasing away the fourth wave of people who wanted his contact information.
“Pei Zhu, with such good luck in love, Lu Xiwen feels at ease letting you come out.”
Pei Wu smiled slightly, "It's alright."
The phone rang. Guan Yan made an apologetic gesture before answering, "Hello?"
After a few words were exchanged, Guan Yan hummed in agreement, then covered the microphone with one hand and asked Pei Wu, "A few friends might be coming over later, do you mind?"
"I don't mind." Pei Wu wasn't stupid. The people Guan Yan brought to him were all well-connected. Their previous investments had already begun to yield returns, and Pei Wu still liked money.
"Okay," Guan Yantong said, "Then come over."
About fifteen minutes later, five people arrived, three men and two women. The one in the middle poured herself a cup of tea, and it was clear that she had a good relationship with Guan Yan and was very informal with him. "Ah, I'm so thirsty. By the way, He Xiuyun is on his way."
Guan Yan: "He went back to China?"
“Yes, he just arrived a few days ago.” After saying that, the man noticed Pei Wu. “Is this the investor you were talking about?”
Pei Wu stood up and shook hands with the person opposite him.
Most of the time they were talking, while Pei Wu listened quietly. He was now very sensitive to certain topics, having been trained by Lu Xiwen to be particularly good at grasping the key points. In just a short time, he had already drunk several glasses of wine.
The booth was quite large, and Pei Wu felt a little dizzy, so she moved to sit on the sofa next door.
These people only recently came to Hongdu and plan to start a business together. They were all in Yuecheng before. Guan Yan studied there for a year in junior high school and was classmates with Meng Gao and He Xiuyun, who were his closest friends. So, this was the first time they had met Pei Wu.
"Your friend seems like someone special," Meng Gao said softly, holding his wine glass. "He only said a few words, but they all hit the nail on the head."
Guan Yan said lazily, "So I'm introducing you two."
"Also an Omega?"
"Hmm." Guan Yan continued, "You know Chang Rong, right? He managed to pull her out from under Lu Xiwen's clutches."
Meng Gao was shocked: "That's awesome!"
Meng Gao didn't have many opportunities to meet Lu Xiwen, but he had heard a lot about this man. Recently, a new type of inhibitor has swept the market, causing the two leading pharmaceutical companies in Haicheng to collapse.
"Coming, coming." He Xiuyun jogged in, and was pointed at by Meng Gao. He bent down to pour himself three cups of wine as punishment, the movements smooth and seamless.
"Aren't you the most enthusiastic in these situations? Why are you late?" Guan Yan asked casually.
He Xiuyun gave a miserable look and waved his hand: "Don't mention it. My mom has a relative who used to be on good terms with me, but we drifted apart after she moved abroad. Recently, she came back and insisted on introducing me to an Alpha. I heard about it briefly, and I thought it was bullshit."
Guan Yan: "Who were you introduced to?"
He Xiuyun: "You know him? He's the one who came to see you with Kuang Junmeng that winter when you were in the second year of junior high."
Guan Yan's eyelids twitched: "Lu Xiwen?"
“Yes, I thought to myself, how could I possibly choke on this?” He Xiuyun brought Meng Gao’s juice to drink. “By the way, you should remind President Lu that my mother’s relative is obviously up to no good. I heard she inquired at many places before finally finding me. It’s like she’s carefully selected someone to send to President Lu’s bed. She even made a bunch of promises to my mother.”
Guan Yan glanced subtly in Pei Wu's direction: "It's fine as long as you didn't agree."
"Nonsense, it's not like I lost my brain while I was abroad." He Xiuyun chuckled. "Besides, someone like President Lu isn't my type. He's too domineering. I prefer someone gentler." As he spoke, his gaze swept across the room and suddenly fixed on a sharp spot.
Pei Wu hadn't drunk alcohol for a long time, but he probably really drank too much today. His temples were throbbing. He leaned on the sofa armrest with one hand, rubbing them with his eyes closed. He sat down with his legs crossed. The light from above shone down, making the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose look like they had an ascetic air. Suddenly, Pei Wu half-opened his eyes. The extravagant light in his eyes turned into a peaceful and gentle one, yet he exuded an elite aura.
Holy crap!
He Xiuyun's eyes practically popped out of his head.
"Brothers, you might not believe it, but I'm going to be in a relationship." He Xiuyun said.
"Give me a break." Meng Gao is an Alpha. He introduced so many people to He Xiuyun before, and it's already falling through after less than half a month. There's too much going on.
Guan Yan craned his neck to look at He Xiuyun's head. "What are you looking at?"
"Hey, you sitting in the opposite corner, see him?"
Guan Yan: "...Ah."
"Isn't she pretty?"
Guan Yan: "That's right."
"My favorite!"
“She used to be my type, but I can’t touch her now,” Guan Yan said solemnly.
He Xiuyun panicked, "Hey! They're all friends, don't try to take them from me!"
"We can't steal it." Guan Yan's eyes were filled with a deep smile. "Now I have two pieces of bad news for you."
"Stop talking..."
"First, that person is an Omega. Although he looks like a very elegant Alpha, he is indeed an Omega. Second, he is the boyfriend of that domineering guy you mentioned."
He Xiuyun's eyes flickered, his gaze fixed on Guan Yan with suspicion. But Guan Yan's face was full of sincerity, and he even added insult to injury with the question, "Can you beat Lu Xiwen?"
The light in He Xiuyun's eyes suddenly went out, and he slumped onto the sofa with a "thud".
Guan Yan was so engrossed in watching the spectacle that he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
All of this drew Pei Wuchao's gaze in this direction.
Pei Wu looked at him questioningly, while Guan Yan laughed so hard he could hardly breathe, and instructed the waiter to bring Pei Wu a refreshing glass of juice.
Pei Wu didn't take it to heart, but just then Lu Xiwen called.
As soon as the call connected, someone let out a heart-wrenching scream along with the background music, the melody of which was quite awful.
Lu Xiwen: "Where did you run off to?"
Pei Wu reported the location, "I sat with Guan Yan for a while. Don't worry, everything is fine."
Lu Xiwen's right eyelid started twitching inexplicably: "I'm coming right away."
Pei Wu got up and walked towards Guan Yan. Guan Yan could only laugh weakly and gasp for breath. Pei Wu didn't notice that He Xiuyun on the sofa next to him buried his head in the sofa cushions because of his arrival.
"Lu Xiwen is coming to pick me up," Pei Wu said. "Will you be having dinner with us tonight?"
"I'm not going, let's reschedule." Guan Yan pointed to Meng Gao, "I have to keep this person company."
Pei Wu understood.
After that, He Xiuyun wished he could just be a background character, especially after Lu Xiwen arrived.
In fact, his presence was already very low, but for some reason, Lu Xiwen glanced at He Xiuyun for no apparent reason.
He Xiuyun was already breaking out in a cold sweat; such terrifying insight.
Just then, his mother texted him: "Are you going to say yes or no?"
He Xiuyun, like a thief, secretly took a picture and sent it to his mother.
Even in the blurry light of the photo, you can still see that the two people sitting opposite each other are very handsome and well-matched. [Mom, which one do you think I can get?]
He seemed to be deep in thought, and a minute later he sent a message: "You're not good enough for any of them... Son, forget it."
He Xiuyun: "..."
He's mother replied to Su Ai, "My son has failed. You should find another job."
