Chapter 202 Do More, Talk Less
Gu Jingcheng grabbed Lin Wei's wrist before she could pull it back.
He placed a hand on her waist, pulled her into his arms, and cornered her against the wall.
He leaned down to look at her, his eyes filled with flirtation.
"You think you can buy me for a million?"
"Mr. Lin, with this price... who are you looking down on?"
Then, he tilted his head, a meaningful smile playing at the corners of his lips.
He suddenly grabbed her hand and pressed it forcefully against his bare chest.
His eyes held a mature man's aggressive gaze.
"How about this, you name your price, and I'll multiply it tenfold to buy you... every night from now on?"
Gu Jingcheng admired the shattering composure in her eyes, then pressed his advantage and leaned closer to her ear.
"Or, let's set a time to sleep together again, and then we'll be even."
"You scoundrel!"
Lin Wei's cheeks flushed red with anger at his actions, and her heart skipped a few beats.
She glared at him, picked up her bag, and left without looking back.
The door closed, and the room returned to silence.
Gu Jingcheng touched his slightly sore lower back, reminiscing about everything that happened last night.
Her fingernails clung to his back, and she slumped softly into his arms in dependence...
Her eyes hardened; Weiwei did have feelings for him, but she just wouldn't admit it.
This time, no matter what, he would never let go of her hand again.
-
Blue City Airport, outside the international arrivals hall.
The black Cullinan sat silently in its designated parking space.
The assistant respectfully opened the rear door.
Pei Haoming stepped out of the car, his sharply tailored blue suit accentuating his tall and straight figure.
He simply stood there, and the air around him seemed to freeze.
The assistant quickly followed and reported in a low voice.
"President Pei, President Lin's flight has landed."
Pei Haoming's gaze swept over the surging crowd at the exit of the station.
"Okay, that's all for you."
The assistant hesitated slightly: "That car..."
"Drive away."
Pei Haoming uttered two words and strode towards the exit.
The assistant fell silent, bowed, and quickly returned to the driver's seat.
The Cullinan drove away silently.
The Pei family has been based in Blue City for a century, with businesses spanning various fields and a deep-rooted foundation.
Pei Haoming was a direct descendant born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
He is ruthless and decisive in the business world, and his word is his bond.
He had seen countless beauties, but none of them had ever made him stop in his tracks.
Until three years ago, I met Lin Wei.
That woman, clearly a newcomer, had only a fledgling startup called "Xinwei Technology" behind her.
Yet he dared to argue with the group's chief negotiator.
Clear logic, uncompromising stance;
He had never met a woman like Lin Wei.
Decisive, calm, both delicate and alluring, she resembles a parasitic flower.
Inside, however, lies a growth force that is both flamboyant and restrained.
With just one glance, Pei Haoming knew...
This woman must be Pei Haoming's wife.
Only she is worthy to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, overlooking the business empire.
For three years, he patiently planned and laid out his strategy.
Now, the time has come.
He watched as that familiar, graceful figure came into view.
He strode toward her with his long legs.
"Mr. Lin, what a coincidence."
Lin Wei looked up, her brow furrowing slightly, but the frown vanished in an instant.
"Mr. Pei, I didn't expect to meet you here. What brings you here...?"
"I just got off the plane,"
Lin Wei's gaze swept over him.
The head of the Pei Group appeared in the arrival hall alone, without an assistant to greet him.
Anna pulled up in front of them in her black minivan.
"President Lin."
"President Pei."
Lin Wei nodded and casually went to open the trunk.
Pei Haoming smoothly took the black suitcase from her hands.
The tone was gentle.
"The suitcase is heavy, it's inconvenient for a girl to carry, let me help you."
"Thanks."
Lin Wei thanked him and walked straight to the passenger seat. As she placed her hand on the door handle,
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Pei Haoming standing still, showing no intention of leaving.
She paused slightly.
"Didn't Assistant Lü come to pick you up?"
"He took the car for maintenance, it's fine, I'll just take a taxi later."
"It's not very convenient to get a taxi at the airport at this time."
I'm heading back to the company; could you give me a ride along the way?
"Alright."
After saying that, Pei Haoming opened the back door of the van and leaned in.
Gu Jingcheng leaned against the car body next to a pillar not far away.
Squinting, staring at the black minivan,
Watching Pei Haoming calmly open the car door and lean down to sit in the back seat of Lin Wei's car.
The scene was jarring.
Qiu Cheng sensed the sudden drop in pressure around his boss and braced himself.
"Mr. Gu, Anna told me..."
That's... Pei Haoming, the head of the Pei Group, who's been pursuing President Lin all along.
He paused, feeling the atmosphere was too heavy, and subconsciously tried to ease the tension.
"Mr. Gu, you...you'd better step up your game."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Cheng wished he could bite off his own tongue.
Gu Jingcheng turned his head and gave Qiu Cheng a cold, emotionless look.
Qiu Cheng broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.
They quickly made up for it.
"Well... they're not some big shot. Compared to you, President Gu, what is the Pei family?"
They're just relying on their family's wealth to show off their power in their small territory of Blue City.
Unlike you, whose empire was truly built through hard work and battle in Jiangcheng..."
Gu Jingcheng withdrew his gaze, ignoring Qiu Cheng's flattery.
Open the car door and get into the back seat.
"Go to Phoenix Villa."
Qiu Cheng hesitated for a moment, then braced himself and spoke.
"Mr. Gu, I've heard that security in the Phoenix Villa area is quite tight."
It's difficult to get in unless the homeowner has made an appointment.
Or... shall we wait downstairs at Mr. Lin's company? Or I can have Anna..."
Gu Jingcheng looked up and glared at him.
"Do more, talk less."
Qiu Cheng fell silent and obediently started the car.
He inwardly groaned, "He's doing this for President Gu's own good."
Anna told me that General Manager Lin is a workaholic at Blue City and never leaves work on time.
Our own boss just showed up at someone else's doorstep without saying a word.
What if we wait until late at night and still no one is there?
Unfortunately, the weather forecast says it will rain tonight...
The road to winning back his wife is long and arduous; action and luck alone won't suffice.
Even in critical moments, you have to open your mouth and say something human!
Our own boss is invincible in the business world.
When it comes to matters of the heart, it's truly a complicated story.
When will I be able to win back my wife...?
-
As soon as Lin Wei finished lunch with Pei Haoming, she rushed back to the company.
After being away for half a month, a sense of complacency permeated the company.
She went into the office and asked Anna to bring her the progress reports for all recent projects.
As he flipped through the documents, his brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
In addition to the Pei Group project, which is being managed by Chen Junyi, the project manager who has been with her for five years, progressing steadily,
The other important projects are all more or less behind schedule.
Some even deviated from the original plan.
An unnamed anger surged within her.
Running back and forth like this isn't a sustainable solution.
Alternatively, relocate the entire core of the company to Jiangcheng to concentrate resources;
Alternatively, she must promote a project manager at BlueCity who will give her peace of mind.
Otherwise, the empire she built will inevitably crumble sooner or later.
"Anna, inform all management that there will be a meeting in the main conference room in fifteen minutes."
Fifteen minutes later,
Lin Wei stepped into the conference room, where only Chen Junyi and two other project managers were sitting sparsely.
The other project managers were nowhere to be seen.
Anna reported in a low voice, looking embarrassed.
"Mr. Lin, Director Li said he's out discussing an urgent project, Manager Wang said the client has made an unexpected meeting, and Chief Engineer Zhang..."
Lin Wei raised her hand, her face expressionless.
"Let's begin."
The meeting was more than halfway through,
Several project managers rushed in, their heads bowed, not daring to look at Lin Wei.
Lin Wei placed the densely drawn project progress report in the center of the conference table.
"Everyone's here. These past two weeks, you've all been incredibly busy."
That really caught my eye.
