Chapter 119 Seeking Benefits for My Boyfriend
After hanging up the phone, Shi Yanchen's eyes fell on the project information on the table.
He picked up the document and looked through it carefully, his expression gradually becoming serious.
This project does have great potential, but it is also full of challenges.
More importantly, this is not only related to SNK's strategic planning, but also to the future of Pei Song and Pei's family.
He pressed the intercom: "Let's ask someone from the legal department to come over."
The sunlight shone through the glass onto the conference table, illuminating the document that read "International Financial City Project Plan."
Jin Shuning quickly came over with people from the Legal Department.
"Review the agreement carefully," Mr. Shi said, "paying special attention to the risk clauses and liability definitions."
Watching the people from the Legal Department carefully looking through the documents, Shi Yanchen thought of Zhang Ruojin's words and his eyes became deep.
Just as I was thinking about it, my phone vibrated.
It was a message from Pei Song: "The documents are ready, do you want to pick me up?"
Shi Yanchen raised his lips slightly: "Wait for me downstairs."
He stood up and straightened his suit. "This agreement must be reviewed today. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions."
"Okay, Mr. Shi."
…
"What do you want to eat?" Shi Yanchen started the car and glanced at Pei Song in the passenger seat.
Pei Song was rubbing his brows gently, sorting out the information made him a little tired: "You decide, I'm fine with anything."
"Why not go to La
Maison? "Shi Yanchen suggested," They have a new chef from Paris, and he is said to be very skilled. "
Pei Song looked sideways at him: "When did you become so knowledgeable about French cuisine?"
"In order to take you to eat delicious food, of course I have to do my homework." Shi Yanchen spoke gently and reached out to ruffle his hair. "Besides, the environment of that restaurant is very quiet, suitable for chatting."
Pei Song noticed the deep meaning in his tone: "Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"We'll talk later." Shi Yanchen turned the steering wheel, "Let's fill our stomachs first."
La
Maison is located on the highest floor of the city, overlooking the entire city through floor-to-ceiling windows.
The waiter took them to a window seat.
The sunlight shines through the glass onto the white tablecloth, casting a warm halo.
"The scenery here is really nice." Pei Song said while looking out the window.
Shi Yanchen pulled out a chair for him: "I specially booked this seat because I know you like to enjoy the view."
After they ordered their food, Shi Yanchen gently stroked the handle of his wine glass, as if thinking about his wording.
"Just tell me what's on your mind." Pei Song saw his hesitation.
"Zhang Ruojin came to see me today." Shi Yanchen said, "She brought a project today, the International Financial City, with an investment scale of hundreds of billions. It is an offshore financial center. The core area will plan a digital currency exchange, an international investment bank headquarters building complex and a financial technology research and development center."
"Such a big project?" Pei Song was a little surprised.
"She originally wanted you to be in charge of the project," Shi Yanchen said, "but I refused. A large project with an investment of hundreds of billions involves too many departments and links, and your current experience is indeed not enough."
"She actually wants me to..." Pei Song thought it was a bit outrageous, "'Leling Home' only invested 10 billion, which is completely not on the same level as this project."
Shi Yanchen looked at him and said, "I will lead this project. As a member of the project team, you can observe and learn how top projects work up close. I will select elites from various departments to form a core team. Technology research and development, risk control, legal affairs, operations, each sector must be equipped with the strongest talents."
"Is this the president seeking benefits for your boyfriend?" Pei Song said with a smile in his eyes.
Shi Yanchen chuckled and squeezed his hand: "You have already proved your potential in the 'Happy Elderly Home', but to grow further, you need to face greater challenges. This project involves multi-party coordination, risk control, and resource integration. It is a good learning opportunity for you."
The waiter brought the appetizer, the pan-fried scallops were dotted with golden burnt marks and paired with a refreshing citrus sauce, exuding fragrance.
"However, Zhang Ruojin suddenly proposed this project and specifically asked me to participate. He must have other purposes." Pei Song said after tasting the scallops.
"She wants to bring Pei's into the supply chain." Shi Yanchen told the truth directly, "To be honest, it may not be a bad thing for Pei's. Your father is in good health now, if you can take this opportunity to adjust the company's strategy, it would be a good choice."
"This involves another problem," Pei Song put down his knife and fork, looking serious, "If Pei's company gets involved, I'm afraid there will be objections from the outside world."
Shi Yanchen's eyes flashed with approval: "Don't worry, the project team will have a strict conflict of interest review mechanism. The part involving Pei's will be handled by a special team, and it will have nothing to do with you."
"That's the best." Pei Song breathed a sigh of relief. "What I'm most grateful for during my year at SNK is that everyone looks at me as a professional instead of treating me as the son of the Pei family. I don't want to ruin that."
"It's good that you think so," Shi Yanchen said, "Every step of your growth in SNK has been earned through your strength. This time is no exception. I will let you focus on learning the project itself and don't worry about other things."
"What does the Ministry of Justice say?" Pei Song asked.
"We are reviewing the cooperation agreement," Shi Yanchen said. "The project does have great potential, but the risks are also considerable. We will look at every detail carefully and will not let anyone take advantage of loopholes."
As he was speaking, a cry of surprise was heard nearby.
A young man was kneeling on one knee, holding a ring box in his hand, proposing to his female companion.
The romantic atmosphere infected the entire restaurant, and many people stopped eating to watch this heartwarming scene.
Shi Yanchen's eyes fell on Pei Song, and he saw him looking at the couple with curiosity.
"If I proposed to you, would you agree?" Shi Yanchen suddenly asked.
Pei Song was stunned, and his ears instantly turned red: "What are you talking about? Now is the time to discuss work."
"I just suddenly wanted to ask," Shi Yanchen chuckled, "Looking at your reaction, I think there is hope."
"Don't interrupt," Pei Song glared at him, "Let's get down to business. When will the project start?"
"Once the legal department has reviewed the agreement, we can start the process," Shi Yanchen said. "You will follow me and study every step carefully. This will be an important turning point in your career."
There was a cheer from the side. The lady had already nodded excitedly in agreement, and the young man was carefully putting the ring on her finger.
Pei Song's attention was attracted by them again.
"By the way," Shi Yanchen looked at Pei Song's profile, the smile in his eyes disappeared, "I almost forgot something important."
"What?" Pei Song took a sip of water and looked at him curiously.
