There's a saying, isn't there?
It's not that I'm afraid of rich kids squandering their money, it's that I'm afraid of them all wanting to start their own businesses.
When others start a business, they learn from their mistakes.
When it came to Xie Zhiming, it was a case of learning one lesson and learning another.
They lost nearly 10 billion yuan and never succeeded. Managing a branch company resulted in losses of several hundred million yuan in less than a year.
"It must have been orchestrated by someone."
Pei Zhi shook her head, too lazy to care any further.
Anyway, Xie's father will leave after attending the anniversary memorial service.
That evening, Xie Cinian refused to have dinner with his father.
Pei Zhi could only take Hu Shi with her to the dining room to have a meal with Xie's father.
On the way there, Hu Shi complained, "Even Xie Cinian's own father didn't come, but you came instead. Isn't that going too far?"
"It's my duty to manage the household."
Seeing that Pei Zhi showed no resentment, Hu Shi said nothing more.
The dinner went relatively peacefully.
Xu Qiuyue had probably been warned by Xie's father, because apart from greeting him, she didn't say a word during dinner and ate quietly the whole time.
Pei Zhi greeted Xie's father for a couple of minutes, chatted about everyday things, and dinner came to a successful end.
On the anniversary of the incident, Pei Zhi got up early and changed into a modified cheongsam dress.
Her long hair was tied up with a jade hairpin, making her look both elegant and dignified.
Xie Cinian, also dressed in a black Zhongshan suit, stood behind Pei Zhi, fastening the buttons on his sleeves.
Xie Cinian had difficulty tying it with one hand, so Pei Zhi turned around and helped him tie it.
"There are a lot of people today, so don't lose your temper on the spot."
Xie Ci Nian nodded, his eyes scanning Pei Zhi.
Pei Zhi rarely wears all black, so she looks quite good in this outfit.
Pei Zhi gently patted Xie Cinian's shoulder, "Keep your eyes to yourself."
Xie Cinian put his arm around Pei Zhi's waist and asked, "What's wrong with my gaze?"
The Xie family has a rule that they must not sleep in the same room for a week before the anniversary of the memorial service begins.
Few members of the Xie family's collateral branches abide by this rule, so Xie Cinian, as the head of the family, should still uphold it.
Before Pei Zhi could say anything, there was a knock on the door.
Pei Zhi pushed Xie Cinian away and straightened her clothes.
"Madam, there's a commotion outside. You should go and take a look."
Pei Zhi sighed, "Here we go again."
Too many people will cause trouble.
I don't know who's causing trouble today.
This time, Xie Cinian patted Pei Zhi on the shoulder and said, "You go first."
Pei Zhi complained, "You're really not being polite."
As soon as Pei Zhi stepped out, the aunt hurriedly said, "Third Madam is arguing with the people Mr. Ming brought back."
"How could the two of them start fighting?"
The servants in the house all addressed Xie Zhiming as Mr. Ming.
"What about the aunties? Are we just going to let them make a racket?"
Today is the anniversary of the memorial service, and Xie Ci Nian's uncles and aunts, along with their wives, will be coming.
Are they just going to watch the Third Madam and Xu Qiuyue argue?
“I’ve taken care of it. Miss Xu said she’s Mr. Ming’s fiancée, and these people have no right to talk about her. That really angered those ladies.”
Pei Zhi laughed too; this Xu Qiuyue was really interesting.
Pei Zhi had seen plenty of stupid people.
It's rare to see someone as stupid as Xu Qiuyue.
Pei Zhi took a deep breath. "Let's go, lead the way."
Before even entering the living room, Pei Zhi could hear a noisy commotion at the door.
Just like a shrew cursing in the street, the vocabulary is also very offensive, using swear words from all over the world.
Pei Zhi stood at the door, and the aunt coughed, "Madam has arrived."
The noisy crowd inside finally quieted down.
A group of women stood up.
Whether they were elders or peers, everyone stood up.
Looking at the mess, Pei Zhi instructed, "Peace and safety every year, clean it up quickly, don't hurt anyone."
Several aunties immediately cleaned up the tea set and snacks on the ground and brought over a new one.
Pei Zhi stood, and no one dared to sit.
Pei Zhi's tone was threatening, "Tomorrow is the anniversary of the memorial service. Anyone who continues to cause trouble should not blame me for being ruthless."
Everyone nodded in agreement, their earlier arguing tempers completely gone.
Xu Qiuyue snorted, assuming that Pei Zhi was on her side and speaking up for her.
She was, after all, Xie Zhiming's fiancée, and also considered Pei Zhi's elder.
"Madam, the dining room is ready. You may go and have your meal."
Pei Zhi nodded slightly, her tone softening, "Alright, everyone rushed over early this morning and must be hungry now, let's go eat first."
Pei Zhi left first; she needed to find Xie Cinian first, and then sit at the main table with him.
How's the company doing?
Pei Zhi asked about Xie Ci Nian's relocation of his industries to China.
As long as Xie Ci Nian moves most of his business to China, it will boost the domestic economy.
If she leaves, the small world shouldn't collapse.
In this world, Pei Zhi has already wasted a lot of time, and the system has started urging her to hurry up.
"It went quite smoothly, and the domestic policies were very supportive."
Pei Zhi pressed further, "Approximately how long will it take?"
Are you concerned about me? Or are you in a hurry to go back to China?
Xie Cinian pursed his thin lips, his voice lowered, and he didn't seem happy.
Pei Zhi realized what was going on, "You're overthinking it."
Xie Cinian snorted, "That would be best."
Pei Zhi wasn't one to be trifled with either. "Isn't it too late for you to be angry with me now?"
Xie Cinian wanted to say something, but Pei Zhi didn't give him the chance.
"And are you sure you want to be angry with me today?"
If Pei Zhi gets angry, she'll just turn her back and leave, leaving Xie Cinian to deal with the whole family.
