Chapter 136 Relax
After the cocktail party, Pei Song followed Shi Yanchen back to the office.
Shi Yanchen said: "Zhang Ruojin is a very smart person. She has already guessed our relationship."
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with making it public." Pei Song sighed, "It's just that this project is too important to SNK, and now is not the right time..."
Shi Yanchen held his hand and said, "I understand that with an investment of 100 billion, any disturbance may affect market confidence. Zhang Ruojin will not speak nonsense. This kind of person knows the limits best."
Pei Song said: "You know I don't like to be too public, and this project has just started. If I make my relationship public at this time, it will inevitably cause unnecessary speculation."
"I won't rush you," Shi Yanchen said gently, "Everyone has their own pace. I'll wait as long as you need me." He chuckled, "Although I can't wait to tell the world that you are mine, I hope you can stay in the most comfortable state."
Pei Song looked up at him and said, "Once the framework of this project is stabilized and the market reaction is stable, maybe we can consider making it public in a low-key manner. After all," he reached out and touched the ring on Shi Yanchen's ring finger, "you have been waiting for so long."
"No hurry," Shi Yanchen kissed the corner of his mouth, "I hope you choose to make it public from the bottom of your heart, and not be pushed by the situation around you."
On the first day of the project, Pei Song took the initiative to meet with Mr. Li from the Compliance Department.
"This is a detailed description," he handed over the prepared document, "all the information about Pei as a supplier, including the scale of cooperation, specific business scope, and possible interests."
Mr. Li looked through the documents, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes: "You are very professional to take the initiative to disclose these."
"I also wrote an application," Pei Song said, "hoping to be able to avoid all decisions involving Pei's. This includes procurement approval, contract signing, payment procedures, etc."
"In addition," he added, "I recommend an independent audit of Pei's operations. A third party agency could conduct regular inspections to ensure that all processes meet market standards."
After Shi Yanchen learned about this, he stopped him in the office and said, "You've done a good job, but don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"No," Pei Song shook his head, "It is precisely because this project is so important that we must pay attention to every detail."
He turned on his computer and pulled out a document: "I asked the legal department to draft a special supervision mechanism. All Pei-related businesses must go through a triple review, and any abnormalities will be marked."
"Besides," he continued, "I have explained this relationship to the team. This way, no one will have any concerns when working."
Shi Yanchen looked at his professional and restrained lover, his eyes became softer: "You always surprise me."
Facts have proved that Pei Song's approach is correct.
When the media reported on SNK's cooperation with Pei, the company immediately showed its complete compliance records and independent audit reports.
This high level of transparency not only eliminates market doubts, but also wins more trust for the project.
On Friday evening, Shi Yanchen leaned against the dining table at home, looking at Pei Song who was feeding MAX. "The next few weeks will be very busy. Why don't we go out and relax during the weekend?"
"That's right," Pei Song looked up, "I saw a lot of people challenging themselves to ride 100 kilometers around the greenway. There are cycling events every weekend during this period, circling the entire city. It is said that the scenery along the way is particularly beautiful. Do you want to try it with me?"
Shi Yanchen raised his eyebrows: "100 kilometers?"
"Why, you don't dare?" Pei Song stood up. "I want to take MAX with me, so that it can also experience the speed and passion."
Shi Yanchen looked at the big guy who was devouring the food and asked, "Are you sure it won't get upset and come down halfway?"
"Don't worry, I've done my homework." Pei Song took out his phone and showed it to him, "Now there are special dog bicycle seats that can be installed on the back seat. They are very stable."
That night, the two went to a professional cycling equipment store.
The clerk enthusiastically introduced the various equipment: "This is the latest mountain bike this year, with a carbon fiber frame and front and rear suspension, which is most suitable for long-distance riding."
Shi Yanchen took two directly: "Show me the dog seat."
"This one is specially designed for large dogs," the clerk pointed to a well-made seat, "It has a reinforced bracket and a multi-point fixing system, and is equipped with professional shock absorbers, which makes it particularly stable when riding. The seat belt is imported, wear-resistant and comfortable."
Shi Yanchen checked every detail, even asking about the material of the screws.
"You're exaggerating," Pei Song couldn't help but laugh, "I guess I wasn't so serious when I bought the car."
"That's different," Shi Yanchen said seriously, "When riding such a long distance, safety comes first."
Early on Saturday morning, just as the sky was getting light, Pei Song took MAX for a walk so that it could meet its physiological needs in advance.
"Have something to eat," Shi Yanchen handed over a sandwich. "I checked and found that it's best to eat 1-2 hours before riding. I've also prepared MAX nutrition bars."
When we arrived at the entrance of the greenway, the sun had just risen and the air still had the unique coolness of the early morning.
Many cycling enthusiasts have already started preparing for the event.
Pei Song and Shi Yanchen put on professional cycling clothes, the tight design perfectly outlined their slender figures.
"Warm up first," Shi Yanchen said as he adjusted the height of the saddle. "How long have you not ridden?"
Pei Song stretched his muscles and said, "I haven't ridden since I graduated from college."
Shi Yanchen spent twenty minutes installing the seat for MAX and repeatedly confirmed the tightness of the seat belt three times.
He pulled a portable pet first aid kit from his backpack: "Just in case." It contained basic supplies such as bandages and disinfectant.
"You are too nervous," Pei Song said with a smile while adjusting the height of the handlebars, "MAX can't wait."
MAX really looked eager to try, and sat obediently in the seat. Even when Shi Yanchen put a helmet and sunglasses on it, it cooperated very well, looking very cool.
"This look is amazing," Pei Song took a photo, "He's even more handsome than us."
"This dog is so handsome!" A young man passing by couldn't help but stop and asked, "Can we take a photo together?"
MAX sat gracefully, posing for various photos.
"MAX is now an internet celebrity," Pei Song said with a smile, adjusting MAX's sunglasses, "Are you ready, handsome boy?"
MAX immediately shouted happily.
The two rode slowly along the greenway, surrounded by lush trees.
"I drive this road often," Shi Yanchen said, "but riding a bike here feels completely different."
Pei Song followed him and said, "Yeah, you can't see so many details when you're driving. Look at the crape myrtle over there, it's so beautiful."
