Chapter 212 Mr. Gu, Farewell
As dusk falls, the top-tier commercial district of Blue City...
"Honey Color" is one of the most luxurious high-end restaurants under the Pei Group.
The entire venue was booked out at that moment.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows lies a dazzling night view; inside, there is only a single table in the center.
A warm yellow halo enveloped the two people sitting opposite each other.
A tall, well-mannered male waiter, about 1.8 meters tall with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, was methodically setting out dishes and pouring drinks.
Extreme silence often best highlights absolute power.
Pei Haoming slowly sliced the white truffle steak on his plate; the man was wearing a tailor-made dark gray suit.
The cufflinks are made of understated platinum, giving the wearer an aura of ultimate superiority.
The woman sitting opposite Pei Haoming wore a simple white satin dress.
The flowing cut accentuated her slender waist, and the pure white dress made her appear even more ethereal.
A gentle and aloof face, eating with composure.
Pei Haoming would look up at her from time to time, and the image of Mrs. Pei became clearer in his mind.
"Mr. Lin seems to have lost some weight recently,"
"How are things going at the company?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Wei's fingers tightened slightly as she held the wine glass, but she spoke tactfully.
"It's alright, there are some minor issues, but we're dealing with them."
Pei Haoming smiled slightly, put down his knife and fork, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth with a composed gesture.
"I heard that Xinwei Technology has recently had some friction with Yuecheng and Haiyue?"
Lin Wei's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at him.
Pei Haoming met her gaze, his tone indifferent.
"If needed, I might be able to arrange for both sides to sit down and have a chat."
In Blue City, they still have to give me, Pei, some face.
Lin Wei's eyes lit up instantly, and she raised her wine glass.
"If President Pei is willing to help facilitate a reconciliation, I would be extremely grateful."
Pei Haoming stared at her bright smile, somewhat lost in thought.
After a moment, he raised his glass and gently clinked it against hers, but his gaze never left her face.
"No problem."
After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became more relaxed.
"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen Xin Xin. How has the little one been lately?"
"It will definitely be even cuter."
"She...is in Jiangcheng, being cared for by my parents, and she's doing quite well."
Pei Haoming had drunk quite a bit tonight, and a hint of heat had appeared in his deep, restrained eyes.
No more circling, just a straight shot, the sound a few decibels lower and hoarser than usual.
"Miss Lin, perhaps this is a bit presumptuous, but I don't want to beat around the bush anymore."
I admire you, and not just in terms of business cooperation.
I hope to have the opportunity to formally pursue you.
Lin Wei stood up instinctively, her eyes filled with surprise.
The man opposite me remained upright, exuding a cold and aloof air.
However, the blunt words broke the safe distance, making her feel uneasy.
She still needs his help with the company's projects and the client's relationships.
President Pei of Blue City, who holds a high position of power,
She never imagined that he would have feelings for her that went beyond work.
Amidst the chaos, another face grew increasingly clear.
The man had a stubborn look in his eyes and looked awkwardly wearing an apron...
Lin Wei's heart skipped a beat, and a surge of complex emotions welled up within her.
Compared to Pei Haoming's unwavering admiration,
That man, however, seemed to have taken root in her heart.
Lin Wei took a deep breath and met Pei Haoming's gaze.
"President Pei, ...please don't joke around. We've always been excellent partners."
I respect you, but that's all.
Pei Haoming remained seated, looking up at her.
Under the lamplight, his eyes held a fanatical infatuation.
"Miss Lin, it's my business if I like you."
"You don't have to accept it, and you don't need to feel any burden. Our previous cooperation will continue as before."
He stood up, still with that considerate demeanor.
"It's getting late, I'll take you home."
The black Rolls-Royce drove smoothly through the night and came to a stop outside Phoenix Villa.
Pei Haoming got out of the car and opened the door for her, his gaze sweeping over the brightly lit villa, his eyes darkening slightly.
-
Gu Jingcheng had just put his phone away when a beam of car headlights approached from afar.
He pushed open the villa's gate and deliberately walked out.
Gu Jingcheng had a tall and straight figure, and although he was only wearing simple loungewear, he exuded an undeniable and powerful aura.
Pei Haoming, who was about to get into the car, paused.
The two men's eyes met in mid-air.
Gu Jingcheng's voice carried the naturalness of someone in charge.
"Thank you for bringing Weiwei back, Mr. Pei."
Pei Haoming stood by the car door, the two of them facing each other.
Wearing an expensive suit, she exuded a stark contrast to Gu Jingcheng's casual home attire, creating two distinctly powerful auras.
"I just finished talking with President Lin, so I'll give her a ride back."
"Mr. Gu, do you... also live nearby?"
Gu Jingcheng's lips curled into a cold, indifferent smile.
"I live here."
A cold glint flashed in Pei Haoming's eyes, but it vanished in an instant, and the smile on his face remained unchanged.
As if suddenly remembering something, he took a gift box out of the car.
"Mr. Lin, I almost forgot. This is a welcome gift for Xin Xin's first day of school."
A pink plush bunny; I've heard little girls love it.
Congratulations to Xinxin on starting her new school!
Lin Wei was stunned, looking at the pink rabbit and at the sudden drop in pressure from Gu Jingcheng beside her.
I felt a pang of unease.
Currently, Pei Haoming is still needed to mediate the company's projects and the breach of contract issue.
She couldn't embarrass him on the spot.
"Mr. Pei, thank you for your trouble. I thank you on behalf of Xin Xin."
Pei Haoming, having achieved his goal, knew when to stop.
"Get some rest, don't worry about the project."
"Mr. Gu, farewell."
