Chapter 211 Who did you eat with, a man or a woman?
In the anonymous chat group of Xinwei Technology employees,
They had long since split into the cook's brother-in-law faction and President Pei's faction.
The two sides held their own views and argued enthusiastically.
Occasionally, snippets of words drifted into Lin Wei's ears.
She simply frowned and offered no comment.
Her relationship with President Pei was merely a client-vendor partnership.
When did it become a CP (Contact, Partner) option in the eyes of employees?
These people really have a rich imagination.
But this was just the employees having fun privately and showing their concern for her; there was no malice intended.
She let them do as they pleased without interfering.
Lin Wei's thoughts were wandering between the "CP" issue and the company's predicament.
The phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
Lin Wei's heart skipped a beat, and an overwhelming sense of joy welled up inside her.
"President Pei."
She had previously contacted President Pei to discuss project details, but after sending the message, it went unanswered.
She knew Pei Haoming's personality; he didn't like partners who were in a rush.
So even though Lin Wei was very anxious, she forced herself not to call and ask any more questions.
She had been waiting for this call for several days.
On the other end of the phone, Pei Haoming's voice was as gentle and gentlemanly as ever.
"Regarding President Lin's project, the plan has already been discussed at the board meeting."
The process may take some time; I will have my assistant contact you as soon as there is definite news.
Hearing Pei Haoming's businesslike tone, Lin Wei's initial surprise cooled down a bit.
Before a formal contract is signed, any verbal promises are nothing but empty words.
But this phone call at least means there's still hope of getting the project.
"Mr. Pei, you flatter me. I understand. Are you free tonight?"
I'd like to invite you to a simple meal as a way of thanking you for your continued support of Xinwei.
I also hope to have the opportunity to learn more from you about your industry insights.
Lin Wei's palms were slightly sweaty; she hoped this meal would allow her to gauge Pei Haoming's opinion.
If all goes well, we can even ask him to help connect us with the CEOs of the two companies that breached the contract.
"Mr. Lin, you're too kind. I would be impolite to refuse your hospitality. Please decide on the location."
"Okay, Mr. Pei, see you tonight. I'll send you the address via WeChat after I've finalized it."
Lin Wei put down her phone, leaned back in her chair, and let out a sigh of relief.
If Pei Haoming can help, the company's current predicament may be able to turn around.
As she was pondering, a thought suddenly entered her mind.
Hesitation lasts only a moment.
Lin Wei picked up her phone again, her fingertips pausing on the screen for a moment.
Finally, she opened the chat window with Gu Jingcheng.
Typing, deleting, and retyping...
"I have a dinner engagement tonight, so I won't be home for dinner."
After sending the message, Lin Wei's heart softened for a moment.
This sense of belonging... of being waited for and needing to be informed of one's whereabouts.
It's strange, even a little...unfamiliar.
For the past five years, she has lived a solitary life, with her time after get off work entirely under her own control.
Now, it feels as if, in the vast sea of people, there has been a place that can be called "home".
There was a light shining there, and someone cared whether she had returned home.
-
Phoenix Villa, study.
Gu Jingcheng had just finished a video conference and rubbed his tired temples.
Looking at the two VIP tickets to the fireworks show that Qiu Cheng sent...
A gentle smile appeared in his eyes.
I tapped her chat window with my fingertip, ready to tell her about the arrangement.
However, a new message from her popped up first in the pinned chat box.
"I have a dinner engagement tonight, so I won't be home for dinner."
The smile on his lips vanished.
A sense of loss washed over her, and Weiwei decided not to come back for dinner.
For a moment, disappointment was overshadowed by worry.
Does Weiwei have a dinner party tonight?
What kind of dinner party?
Who are you having dinner with, a man or a woman?
Gu Jingcheng suddenly remembered five years ago, when Lin Wei was forced to drink by that group of men at a social event. If he hadn't arrived in time...
Gu Jingcheng immediately stood up from his chair and dialed Qiu Cheng's number.
"Qiu Cheng, go and find out who President Lin has dinner with tonight."
