Chapter 73
When Jiang Chengyi met Pei Yu for the first time, he was not as calm as he appeared.
Because he came here secretly without telling Pei Muyang.
The cause of the incident was that Pei Muyang was annoyed by the physical test that day, which led to him turning his back on Pei Yu, who had originally agreed to bring him to see him. Jiang Chengyi had said all the nice things and apologized over and over again in the past few days, but he couldn't get Pei Muyang to give in.
So Jiang Chengyi could no longer sit still, fearing that someone from Hengsheng would take advantage of Pei Muyang's absence from the hospital and sneak into the hospital alone.
In fact, it is not surprising that Jiang Chengyi is so anxious. Meeting the parents is something that should be done sooner rather than later. After all, his relationship with Pei Muyang is heading for marriage, and there are still many procedures to go through. If he does not seize the time, it will take several years just to secretly date without telling his family. Yangyang is in her early twenties and is in the prime of her life. Jiang Chengyi can't wait any longer.
President Jiang, who is decisive in the business world, knows the importance of striking first, so he took advantage of this opportunity and did something that went against Pei Muyang's wishes for the first time.
This was also the first time Pei Yu met his legendary savior Jiang Chengyi.
In the past, Mr. Pei was completely focused on academics and always responded to outside rumors with an attitude of indifference. He thought that no matter what, he would never have the chance to meet those cloud-level figures who could call the shots in society and control the fate of hundreds or thousands of people at will, let alone deal with them. But who would have thought that today he would actually see one alive.
I can only say that he is worthy of being a figure who has made great progress in the business world at such a young age. His temperament is obviously outstanding. I used to think that my son was quite outstanding, but compared with Mr. Jiang, he was immediately compared to the sewer.
The most important thing is that Mr. Jiang greeted him politely as soon as he entered the door. He was not as cold-blooded, ruthless and domineering as the outside world said.
What a misleading rumor!
"Please take a seat, Mr. Jiang. I'm the only one here. Please forgive me for my poor hospitality."
"Teacher Pei, please don't be polite. Just call me Xiao Jiang or Cheng Yi."
Jiang Chengyi was very graceful, and he subconsciously responded to and flattered Pei Yu in his words, perfectly portraying the humble and respectful younger generation. He quickly won Pei Yu's favor, and he pulled him aside to have a heart-to-heart conversation with him as if he were his own son.
"Cheng Yi, I never imagined that you would not only be so successful in the business world, but also so knowledgeable about classical literature. There aren't many children as outstanding as you these days. Your parents must be very proud of you."
"Uncle Pei, you're too kind. My parents don't ask much of me. They just hope I can find someone I truly love and spend my life with. As for other things, I don't have any aspirations. I just let everything take its course."
"There aren't many young people these days who can see things so clearly. No wonder my Xiaoyang has changed so much recently. I think it's all due to your influence. It's a blessing for Xiaoyang that he can work under you. I hope you can give him more guidance in the future. This child used to be ignorant and always went against the family. He didn't like to listen to us as parents. You young people have more topics to talk about. I hope you can help your uncle keep an eye on him."
"Uncle, what are you talking about? Yangyang is very outstanding. It's my honor to be with him. Oh, and I heard that Uncle Pei likes classical literature. These collections are for you to pass the time. I hope you don't mind."
As he spoke, Jiang Chengyi took out a few booklets from the briefcase he brought with him and handed them over with both hands. The booklets looked very old, even the paper was brown.
"This is……"
Pei Yu took it and looked at the words on the booklet. He was so shocked that he almost dropped it. These were actually the works of a great writer who had won the top spot in the imperial examination at the age of 20 a thousand years ago but died young?
"Isn't this too expensive? Uncle can't accept it."
Although these books are not unique copies, they are rarely circulated. Although their prices are not as high as the three volumes of "Collected Works of Wang Wengong" that were sold at a sky-high price of 260 million yuan, they are definitely not something that ordinary people can dream of. To give away such precious cultural relics so easily, isn't it really too serious of them?
"Uncle Pei, these ancient books were bought by a friend of mine at a charity event. He didn't know much about them, so he gave them to me. I think they can be better used in your hands. I would be wasting such a good collection of texts if I kept them. So, please accept them and let these precious treasures left by our ancestors reflect more value."
"I already owe you a life-saving favor, and you've spent so much money to give me such a valuable gift. I really feel bad for you."
Pei Yu would not accept it with a clear conscience just because of the word "transfer". Even if Jiang Chengyi did not spend money, if he put it up for auction, there would be many people willing to pay a high price to buy it. After all, this is a real cultural relic.
"Uncle, please don't say anything about saving my life. Yangyang is my friend, and helping him and his family is what I should do. Please, for Yangyang's sake, treat me as your junior and accept this gift."
Jiang Chengyi's tone of voice was so sincere that it was hard to refuse.
Pei Yu was also confused. What qualifications did he have to do this?
This collection of essays is something that many people can only dream of, but now someone has handed it to him and is begging him to accept it. It's like a lustful man encountering a beautiful woman who throws herself into his arms. Who can resist the temptation?
Just when he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open.
"Dad, I'm here..."
Pei Muyang, who pushed the door open, was stunned on the spot.
No...what's going on?
Who can tell him why someone who should have been having a meeting at the company would appear in his father's hospital room?
Is this an illusion?
"Yangyang..." Jiang Chengyi looked away with a guilty look on his face when he saw the situation.
"Boss Jiang, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Hearing the gnashing of teeth in these words, Jiang Chengyi felt something was wrong.
Today, Pei Muyang received a notice from the police station, asking him to go and reclaim the house that was sold by loan sharks. Upon hearing this, Pei Muyang immediately rushed to the scene with two top lawyers from the Legal Department.
The police found Pei Muyang's cousin in another city, who had gone into hiding with his family after committing the fraud. They froze all his assets. In addition to returning the 500,000 yuan he had taken from the loan shark, the remaining money, although not much, had to be used to compensate the losses of the house buyer. The rest of the house payment could only be returned after the loan shark was found.
The buyer over there was naturally unhappy, but the sincere legal department was not to be underestimated in the entire legal profession. Its mouth could even silence the judge, not to mention the ordinary person like the buyer who knew nothing about the law.
After all, the house transaction was illegal. No matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to accept it.
The perpetrators of the crime are the lawbreakers, but the victims are innocent.
Pei Muyang was extremely excited after getting his home back. He wanted to rush to the hospital to tell Pei Yu the good news in person. Who would have thought that by such a coincidence, he would catch Jiang Chengyi, the hypocritical guy, in the act.
Pei Muyang rolled his eyes at the guilty person, thinking angrily, "Isn't it because I was angry that I didn't bring him to meet my parents? He actually came here on his own behind my back. This bastard's words are really not credible at all."
"Yangyang, I happened to pass by here, so I came to visit Uncle Pei." Jiang Chengyi explained dryly under Pei Muyang's death gaze.
It's pure nonsense to say that he just passed by. You should know that as soon as Pei Muyang left, he couldn't wait to leave his office. He thought Yangyang would be busy for at least half a day, but he didn't expect that the lawyer he hired was so helpful at the critical moment and solved the problem so quickly.
His mistake was that he misjudged the enemy's strength, which led to his failure.
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your concern for the families of our employees. If you don't have anything else to do, why don't you go back to work?"
Pei Yu was unhappy when he heard this, "Eh? Since you're here, why don't you chat with uncle for a while if you're not busy?"
"Okay, Uncle Pei, I..."
"No, Dad. He has a lot of work today and is extremely busy. Isn't that right, Mr. Jiang?"
As he spoke, Pei Muyang looked at Jiang Chengyi with a "kind" smile. This look was so powerful that he was scared and quickly changed his words.
"Oh yes, Uncle Pei, I have eight meetings to attend today, so I can only come to see you another day."
"Pei Muyang! What's wrong with you? Are you hiding something from me?"
Even if Pei Yu didn't understand the ways of the world, he could see what was going on. His son was determined to get rid of Xiao Jiang. Not to mention that he was his boss, even an ordinary friend would not be treated like this.
"Dad, do you believe him or me? Am I your son or is he your son? Why are you so ungrateful?"
Pei Muyang became unhappy when he heard this. It had only been a short time, and Old Pei was already siding with Jiang Chengyi. Would he still have a say in this family in the future?
"Yes, uncle, you misunderstood. It's true that I have a bad memory. It has nothing to do with Yangyang. Well, I'll take my leave today. I will definitely come to visit you again when I have time."
Jiang Chengyi stood up very tactfully, said goodbye to Pei Yu and prepared to leave.
Pei Yu had no choice but to ask Pei Muyang to see him off. "Go back to work first. We'll talk when you come back."
It just so happened that he was not in the mood to do anything else. He couldn't wait to study the ancient book in his hand carefully, and put other things aside for the time being.
"Remember, talk to Cheng Yi nicely, don't be disrespectful."
Before leaving, Pei Yu couldn't help but give Pei Muyang some advice, fearing that his son's bad temper would offend Jiang Chengyi.
As soon as he walked out of the ward, the smile on Pei Muyang's face disappeared. He crossed his arms and glared at Jiang Chengyi, who was standing next to him with a guilty look on his face.
"Okay, I was wondering why you were asking around for ancient books the other day. I also heard from Brother Zhou that your CEO, Jiang Da, said that as long as they had the goods, the price wouldn't be a problem. So you've already decided to use them to please my dad? You really know how to cater to his tastes!"
"Yangyang, I was wrong to come visit uncle without telling you, but I have no choice. You originally agreed to bring me to see uncle, but now you are unwilling to do so, so I acted first and asked for your permission later."
"Don't you know why I didn't bring you here? I regretted it because I was angry, but you didn't come to comfort me and apologize to me, but instead came to seduce my father. What's wrong? Are you trying to get to the top?"
"Yangyang, I..."
"What do you mean by 'I'? I'm telling you, Jiang Chengyi, I'm really angry. And very, very angry, the kind that can't be appeased, humph!"
Pei Muyang turned and left, leaving Jiang Chengyi standing there, feeling like the sky was falling...
