After agreeing on a compensation plan, Pei Zhi didn't stand on ceremony with the Huo family and left directly.
After getting in the car, Pei Zhi called the company's assistant, Gao, and asked him to prepare the contract.
After hearing this, Assistant Gao did not immediately carry out Pei Zhi's request for the first time.
Assistant Gao asked in confusion, "President Pei, have you been kidnapped by the Huo family?"
Otherwise, why would President Pei sign such a humiliating and detrimental contract?
Pei Zhi's tone became more serious: "Do as I say."
Assistant Gao noticed that President Pei was in a bad mood, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions and immediately went to do it.
The driver waited until Pei Zhi finished her call before asking, "President Pei, where are we going now?"
Pei Zhi is now unwilling to go to the company, nor does she want to go home.
As soon as he got home, Huo Jiayuan would come up and ask all sorts of questions.
Pei Zhi gave the address of a quiet bar and asked the driver to take her there.
Pei Zhi hasn't had a proper rest these past few days, and she was just angered by the Huo family's shameless attitude. Now all she wants to do is have a quiet drink.
Pei Zhi knew from the moment Old Master Huo announced his will that the Huo family was not friendly towards Huo Jiayuan.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have given Huo Jiayuan such a small amount of food.
I also won't announce my will in front of her.
Now, they've used Huo Jiayuan to force her to lose a large sum of money.
The Huo family is genuinely not worried that she might develop any negative feelings towards Huo Jiayuan because of this.
Pei Zhi took out a cigarette case from the compartment inside the car, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it.
Pei Zhi is not addicted to cigarettes and does not like to smoke.
When Pei Zhi first joined the company, she needed to make connections everywhere.
Inevitably, you have to bend down and light cigarettes for others.
She couldn't just stand by and watch other bosses smoke; that would make her seem out of place.
To fit in, Pei Zhi occasionally had to smoke a couple of cigarettes as well.
Pei Zhi instructed the driver, "Open the car window."
The driver rolled down the window slightly, and Pei Zhi leaned back in her seat. "Do you smoke?"
The driver shook his head with a wry smile, "I used to smoke, but I quit after my wife got pregnant, for the sake of the child."
Pei Zhi nodded slightly: "That's good, he's responsible."
Pei Zhi finished her cigarette and arrived at her destination.
When Pei Zhi got out of the car, she told the driver to come pick her up again in two hours.
Even as night falls, there are still quite a few customers in quiet bars.
Pei Zhi attracted a lot of attention as soon as she entered.
Although Pei Zhi's clothes were unbranded, it was clear that they were not cheap.
In particular, the watch Pei Zhi was wearing was a Rae family classic model, worth several million.
Pei Zhi randomly found a booth. A male waiter came over, handed her the menu, and asked her what she would like to drink.
"Bring me a glass of your best-selling wine."
The waiter hesitated for a moment, "You might not like our best-selling wine."
The waiter pointed to the drinks menu, "This is our best-selling drink. I personally recommend you try this one."
The best-selling drink in the bar is an 88-dollar Long Island Iced Tea.
The waiter introduced Pei Zhi to a glass of Green Wonderland for 1888.
Pei Zhi was too lazy to choose, "This one will do."
While waiting, Pei Zhi took out her phone and saw an email from Assistant Gao.
The email contained the contract that Pei Zhi had just instructed her to submit. Pei Zhi quickly swiped through it, found no problems with the contract, replied with "OK," and then put her phone away.
Having been forced to hold her head down by Huo Jiaqiang and suffering such a huge loss, Pei Zhi was naturally unhappy.
Pei Zhi was afraid that if she went home, she would take her anger out on Huo Jiayuan, so she thought of going out for a drink.
At the same time, Pei Zhi was also thinking about how to get this money back from the Huo family, several times more.
It's not so easy to take advantage of her.
The waiter brought out the wine on a tray and thoughtfully included a snack.
Pei Zhi took out her wallet and handed the waiter a wad of cash as a tip.
After taking the cash, the waiter thanked him repeatedly, saying, "Thank you. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything."
Pei Zhi took a sip of the wine, and compared to the wines she treasured, it tasted quite inferior.
Before Pei Zhi could even enjoy a moment of peace while listening to music, her phone vibrated again.
Pei Zhi answered the phone and said irritably, "What?"
"Pei Zhi! President Pei, it's my sister, my dear sister!" Qu Miaoyu shouted loudly into the phone.
"Are you crazy?"
"For Huo Jiayuan's sake, are you planning to change the Pei family name to Huo?"
Before Pei Zhi could speak, "Assistant Gao just called me and asked me to take the company's working capital to the bank for a check!"
"I just found out that you signed such an outrageous contract with the Huo family. Did Huo Jiayuan drug you?"
"You spoil people, but is this how you spoil them?"
"No one will agree to your project at the shareholders' meeting; the shareholders are not going to lose their interests."
Even if Pei Zhi is the absolute controlling shareholder of the company, it doesn't matter.
What's the difference between this and simply giving away billions to the Huo family for free?
Besides money, we also have to sacrifice resources, favors, and so on. It's like we're just doing all the work for the Huo family.
“This money will not go through the company's accounts, but through my personal accounts.”
Qu Miaoyu's voice grew louder, "You just pulled out a huge sum of money to throw Huo Jiayuan a birthday party, and you can come up with this much money all of a sudden?"
Pei Zhi has a lot of assets, but only a fool would keep cash in the bank.
Only by using money to make money can money generate more money.
"Don't worry about this."
Qu Miaoyu was displeased. "No, I'm going to tell Pei's father and have him do something about you."
"Qu Miaoyu," Pei Zhi said, her tone carrying a hidden warning, "If you dare to go, you can resign from the company tomorrow."
"Pei Zhi, you actually threatened me for that纨绔 (spoiled brat) Huo Jiayuan? I'm your sister!"
Pei Zhi really didn't want to listen to Qu Miaoyu yelling on the phone, so she gave Qu Miaoyu an address and asked her to come over.
Some things can't be explained clearly over the phone in just a few words.
If her father found out, given his personality, he would inevitably start crying and worrying again, which would only make Pei Zhi more annoyed.
Qu Miaoyu heard Pei Zhi talking in the bar and knew something was wrong.
Without saying anything more, he hung up the phone and drove over.
Qu Miaoyu arrived quickly; Pei Zhi hadn't even finished her drink when Qu Miaoyu arrived.
Pei Zhi briefly recounted the events to Qu Miaoyu.
Qu Miaoyu was so angry that her face turned red and her neck thickened.
"Isn't the Huo family utterly shameless?"
Qu Miaoyu asked incredulously, "Could it be that Huo Jiayuan isn't a member of the Huo family? Is it really true that he's disregarded all family ties for the sake of profit?"
Qu Miaoyu looked at Pei Zhi, "And you actually agreed?"
"You won't refuse them and let the Huo family and Huo Jiayuan make a mess of things? No matter what, Huo Jiayuan is also a member of the Huo family."
According to Qu Miaoyu, Pei Zhi shouldn't have agreed; wasn't he just being taken advantage of?
