Zhao Jianing's eyes were cold: "You can leave now."
Pei Qian suspected that he was hallucinating and asked in disbelief, "Boss Zhao, what did you say?"
"Fifteen seconds, or I'll notify security." Zhao Jianing raised his hand and started counting time on his watch.
"No, no, no, you definitely don't understand what I mean. There must be a misunderstanding here!" Pei Qian was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. How could it suddenly become like this?
Zhao Jianing said seriously, "I don't think it's wrong to like celebrities. Unfortunately, I am also a fan of them. So you have a big opinion of me? I don't welcome you, and I won't have any cooperation with you."
It took her exactly fifteen seconds to say this.
The assistant next to him quickly brought the security guard over.
Pei Qian was very unwilling and didn't even know where he had done wrong, but under the watchful eyes of the security guards, he still moved away.
The other party was not easy to deal with, so he didn't dare to take action.
—
The reception room fell silent.
Pei Yin came back to his senses, so... just chased him away like that?
That money-loser didn't even have the face to recover.
Zhao Jianing guessed what the other person was thinking, turned his head and said, "I don't need to explain to him. Educating him is the business of your elders, and it has nothing to do with me."
Pei Yin said softly: "...I know."
Zhao Jianing slowed down his tone and said with a smile: "I know you have worked hard on this project. I just want to teach those people a lesson and not let your hard work go to waste. If you are not in a hurry for the next two days, why don't we wait and see?"
Pei Yin: "...Of course I will listen to you."
She now has great admiration for people!
Zhao Jianing nodded.
She has seen a lot of things like this. Although the promotion of gender equality has been going on for more than a hundred years and is the general trend, the patriarchal society has been operating for thousands of years, so today the entire society still tends to be patriarchal.
Patriarchal companies are also common, and women have to perform very well to fight for rights that are not very fair.
A typical manifestation is that nine out of ten company management teams are men.
Her family was like this. No matter how hard she tried, she was still not as good as her two stupid brothers.
Of course, the little bastard just now was not targeting the "star chasing" issue, but Pei Yin herself was very outstanding, and apart from star chasing, there was no other thing that he could criticize.
That's why they say those ridiculous and superficial things.
After all, a woman’s (?) appearance, figure, marriage, and hobbies can all become targets of attack.
In order to avoid this situation, many female executives cut their hair short and dress tough to prove that they are no worse than men.
Pei Yin said cautiously: "...So you are Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Jianing: "I reminded you."
Pei Yin: "I'm not blaming you, I'm just too stupid to think of it."
At the last party, he did mention that he had two brothers...
The hint was obvious, but she didn't think about it that way.
Zhao Jianing: "You don't have to be so restrained. Didn't you say you wanted to be friends with me? Just get along with me like before."
Pei Yin: "Okay."
She can only try her best, but there is no guarantee that she can do it.
After all, Mr. Zhao has been identified as the target.
The other person is strong, gentle, and beautiful. She hopes that she can become such a person in the future.
It is difficult for young fans to remain calm in front of their idols.
Zhao Jianing: "I asked you to meet me at this time because I wanted to have dinner with you after we finished talking. Would you please give me the honor, Miss Pei?"
Pei Yin nodded vigorously. How could she refuse?
Zhao Jianing eats little every night and orders Japanese food from a quiet restaurant nearby.
Pei Yin slowly relaxed and was thinking about what topic to chat with the goddess when her cell phone rang.
Zhao Jianing looked at the caller ID and saw that it was a call from her son.
She answered the phone.
"Mr. Zhao, you're not going home for dinner today?"
"No, I have something to do tonight. Don't mess with my sister for no reason. If she wants to beat you, I won't care." Zhao Jianing said with a smile on her face.
"I don't understand what you're saying? Would I be afraid of Lu Wan?! I'm just too lazy to argue with her! Okay, I'm hanging up first."
Pei Yin hesitated, then asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhao, are you talking to your son on the phone?"
"Yeah, that kid is 25 years old and still a childish ghost."
Pei Yin was stunned. 25 years old...
Brother Yu is also 25 years old, it must be a coincidence.
It's absolutely impossible. After all, the two don't look alike.
Besides, Mr. Zhao is so steady, how could he have such a... stupid son like Brother Yu?
"From your phone call just now, I heard that you have a daughter? They have a good relationship, right?"
Zhao Jianing: "Oh, it's OK. My daughter is quite sensible."
Pei Yin showed a longing look, "My cousins and I... have a very ordinary relationship, as you saw today."
Zhao Jianing was in a good mood, so he couldn't help but say a few more words.
"My family is just the opposite. My son urges his sister to study hard and start working early so that she can earn money for him."
Lu Buyu said that from now on, the company would be in the hands of Lu Wan.
The other party must work hard so that he can get more dividends from his shares. If he is no longer popular in the entertainment industry in the future, he can only rely on his company's shares and become a rich young man who can spend money as he pleases.
Pei Yin: “…”
Is that so?
She also wanted to have a brother like this, as she would die of thirst or drown.
———
After Pei Qian returned in disgrace, the Sendao Group stopped the contract which had already been negotiated in detail and was only about to be signed.
Not only that, but all subsequent cooperation that was being discussed was also suspended.
The elders of the Pei family were very shocked, and the whole company was in panic.
After all, the project with Moridoh is very important.
It was learned that this consequence was caused by Pei Qian's offense to Sendao's general manager, and many senior executives of the company were dissatisfied.
On the other hand, Mr. Zhao had a very good relationship with Pei Yin who went with him.
There is no doubt that Pei Yin has become a life-saving straw in everyone's eyes.
Even if it is a paternal company, it is ultimately a profit-making company.
The uncles and elders understood that Pei Qian was a hopeless person, and after careful examination, they found that Pei Yin was the most outstanding among his peers.
It is rare to be appreciated by Mr. Zhao.
Pei Yin was promoted twice and officially joined the core management team. Under her management, the contract between the company and Sen Dao was able to continue.
Because of this incident, those stubborn uncles and aunts also realized that times have changed.
Girls can also be capable and responsible.
Although the mindset cannot be completely changed, the situation of the girls in the family is much better than before.
——
A week later.
Pei Yin sat in the director's office, looking at the plan on the table.
She must work harder.
The goddess is the light that illuminates her path, and one day, she will also be the light that illuminates others.
—
The Lu family's maid asked for leave last time to attend her daughter's wedding.
Today she asked for leave again to take care of her daughter after she is pregnant, saying that she was worried about others taking care of the matter.
Lu Buyu: "It's only been half a year, how come she gave birth?"
The time doesn’t match, could it be premature birth?
Lu Wan glanced at the idiot next to her and said in a faint voice, "You can get married while pregnant."
Aunt Zhao nodded: "Miss, you are smart. My daughter and son-in-law got engaged last year, and they moved up the wedding because they had a baby."
Lu Buyu: “…”
Okay, so that's how it is.
Aunt Zhao has worked in the Lu family for ten years. She now wants to take a leave of absence for half a month. Zhao Jianing agreed and gave a red envelope to the newborn.
After the people left, she planned to contact the housekeeping company and ask them to send someone else within the next half month.
Lu Boyan thought for a moment and said, "I think I'd better not do it. After all, I still have to get used to the new aunt. Half a month has passed quickly. We are not at home at noon. As for dinner, I can try to cook."
He had just finished his project and happened to be relatively free recently, so he was willing to cook for his family.
Lu Buyu: "Sure, dinner is simple anyway, just a salad or something."
Lu Wan: "I'm fine with anything."
Since all three family members said so, Zhao Jianing agreed, thinking that half a month would pass quickly.
This Saturday afternoon.
Lu Wan was reading a book when someone knocked on the door.
She could tell who was outside by the sound of the knock on the door. Today's knock was very gentle, so it was obviously not Lu Buyu.
Lu Wan walked over and saw that it was true.
Lu Boyan said excitedly: "Wanwan, what kind of food do you want to eat? It's the weekend today, why don't we go shopping for food together."
Lu Wan: “…”
Lu Buyu: "I'll go too. I've just asked the security guard in the community, and he said there's a small vegetable market within a kilometer. The variety of products is richer and fresher than in the supermarket. Let's go there."
Lu Wan felt something was wrong, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Have you...ever been to a vegetable market before?"
"No." The two men said in unison.
Lu Wan understood that these two were the type who never had to do any housework.
She wasn't actually very interested in the vegetable market...but in this case, she should just go there herself.
Looking at the light flashing in the two's eyes, she felt that things were not good.
—
Ten minutes later, the three of them packed up and set out from home.
Lu Buyu wore sunglasses and a hat to avoid being recognized and causing a commotion.
Lu Boyan was extremely excited about going to the vegetable market for the first time. It was a very meaningful family activity! A topic that has never been conducted before!
He would cook a table full of dishes and scare his wife.
Lu Boyan was organized and although it was his first time going to the vegetable market, he just made a list.
If you buy according to the list, there will be no mistakes.
Lu Wan: “…”
She shouldn't have too high expectations.
The vegetable market they went to was not large, and was mainly populated by nearby residents who came to buy vegetables.
Most of them were housewives, so no one recognized Lu Buyu wearing sunglasses.
Lu Boyan said excitedly: "We need to buy three days' worth of vegetables, 27 kinds in total. How about we do it separately?"
Lu Buyu: "Well, this is more efficient."
“…Whatever.”
Are these two okay? Lu Wan thought for a moment, buying vegetables...at most the scale would be a little short, it wouldn't be a big problem.
She buys the meat, and most of the side dishes here are very fresh, so the other two can do whatever they want.
Lu Boyan: "By the way, the security guard said that we must bargain."
"I know this, don't worry." Lu Buyu was confident.
Lu Wan: “…”
Lu Wan quickly finished buying the portion she was responsible for, and when she turned around, she saw Lu Buyu preparing to buy tomatoes.
She walked towards the person.
Lu Buyu finally chose the target among three stalls selling tomatoes.
While thinking about bargaining, I asked, "How much are the tomatoes?"
"Six dollars a pound, you can choose it yourself." The stall owner was a little surprised.
This guy is quite handsome, but it's a bit weird to see him wearing sunglasses.
Lu Buyu took a deep breath. Of course, he had to be aggressive in negotiations. He raised his voice: "Make it cheaper! 20 yuan for three pounds! I'll buy it!"
The stall owner was stunned for two seconds, then he said slowly: "If you must buy it, of course I will sell it to you."
He is handsome, but unfortunately he is stupid.
If all the groceries buyers were like this, he would have become rich long ago.
It’s quite refreshing to think about it.
Lu Wan held his forehead and said, he has never seen bargaining... the more you talk, the more you get.
Buying three pounds and so much...what are you going to do?
Lu Wan didn't say anything. Lu Boyan, who had just finished buying garlic, came over. He frowned and said, "Didn't you graduate from elementary school? What's 3 times 6?"
Lu Buyu reacted, touched his nose and stopped talking.
Lu Boyan: "Hey, you still can't do it, I'm much smarter."
Lu Wan: "So, this is the garlic you bought?"
Lu Boyan was a little proud: "It was originally sold for 5 yuan per pound, and I bargained it down to 4 yuan. The other party also gave me some chili peppers. How about that? I did a good job, didn't I?"
Lu Wan: “…”
Is this why you carry two big bags of garlic?
I give you fifty dollars to buy garlic, not for you to buy all of it.
—
The tomato vendor kept his eyes on Lu Buyu and said hesitantly, "I think you look familiar, like a celebrity."
Lu Wan said calmly, "Oh, you mean Lu Buyu, right? He didn't look like this originally, but he had his nose fixed to look like Lu Buyu. How's the effect? Isn't it good?"
The stall owner: "I told you! Hehe, I actually want to be like Lu Buyu too! Since you look like my wife's idol, I'll give you two tomatoes for free."
Lu Buyu: “…”
What the hell is this?
Lu Wan raised her eyebrows. This guy is also a housewife killer.
Yes, the housewife killer has a face as white as two tomatoes, so he is very valuable.
