Pei Jingzhan fed Yan Qiao until she was full, and then he wiped his hands and began to eat slowly.
Having finally managed to eat at the same table as him, Jin Lu naturally didn't want to give up this opportunity.
She nudged the man beside her. "Wenxu, didn't you tell me before that your law firm had a collaboration with Xunyue?"
Jiang Wenxu gave an awkward smile, "It's suitable for some of Xunyue's subsidiaries."
Jin Lu laughed, "They're all different, so you should offer a toast to Third Master with tea instead of wine."
Jiang Wenxu stood up with a stiff upper lip. "Third Master, I am grateful for Xun Yue's care over the years. I would like to offer you a cup of tea instead of wine. Please feel free to drink as you please."
Pei Jingzhan wiped his mouth and looked up at him.
"What law firm?"
Jiang Wenxu's face was a little red, as if he had just drunk real alcohol.
He clenched his fists nervously, "Yihua."
Pei Jingzhan nodded slightly, without saying anything more.
Xunyue owns countless businesses; if he were to manage them all, he would be exhausted.
Not to mention the industry partners.
Jiang Wenxu was naturally aware of this, which is why he felt embarrassed.
He probably doesn't even know what his law firm is called.
But just being able to show his face in front of him was enough to excite Jiang Wenxu.
Jin Lu didn't care about any of that; all she knew was that Third Master Pei was very powerful and someone you had to curry favor with.
She can carry the show all by herself, and even if no one pays attention to her, she doesn't need to worry about awkward silences.
Compared to Jin Lu, Weng Hong and Jiang Hao were much quieter.
Duan Yunxiao was shy and taciturn, and he and Ruan Qing only exchanged a few words occasionally.
Of the five couples on the show, only these two truly resembled couples who had already broken up.
Yan Qiao looked at Weng Hong and asked, "Sister Weng Hong, what does Mr. Jiang, who is with you, do?"
Weng Hong was flattered, never expecting that the other woman would take the initiative to talk to her.
After all, her first meeting with Yan Qiao wasn't pleasant, and afterwards she didn't dare to approach Yan Qiao to talk, afraid of being rejected.
"He... owns his own company."
Pei Jingzhan rarely spoke up: "What industry do you work in?"
Jiang Hao was even more surprised than Weng Hong. He quickly handed over his business card, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant: "Third Master, this is a small company, only two years old, doing game development."
Developing a game is a long and difficult process, requiring a lot of investment in the early stages, and there's no guarantee that it will be successful in the end.
Jiang Hao's situation is particularly difficult, given his limited capital.
Pei Jingzhan glanced at it, "Zhongyi."
He looked at Yan Qiao, his gaze softening noticeably.
"The simulation game you played before was developed by their company."
Yan Qiao doesn't play games often; she mostly plays match-3 games and farming simulation games.
She was playing a game called "Township" before, but she didn't have the patience to wait and spent a lot of money on in-game purchases just to speed up crop maturity.
She spent the money, but then lost interest.
Jiang Hao was overjoyed: "Yan Qiao, you've played our game too? Our games are quite niche, I didn't expect you to have downloaded them."
Yan Qiao nodded and smiled, "Raising games are all pretty much the same. I just downloaded one randomly, and it's quite fun. It's just that the in-game purchase option is a bit hidden; you can only make in-game purchases later in the story. It took me a long time to find it."
Jiang Hao chuckled foolishly: "Few people play our game, let alone spend money on it."
If everything can be sped up by spending money, then this game becomes meaningless.
This is also why Yan Qiao gave up halfway through the game.
After eating and drinking her fill, Yan Qiao decided to go out and watch the sunset.
It's summer now, so the sunset is later.
“You can’t see the sunset from the front, you have to go to the west,” said Weng Hong.
But to the west, most of the area is undeveloped.
Pei Jingzhan said, "There is a scenic corridor on the west side, which can be reached by shuttle bus."
Weng Hong was taken aback. "Mr. Pei has been here before?"
Yan Qiao pointed at him, "This island belongs to him, of course he's been here."
Everyone was shocked and looked at Pei Yunzhi.
Um... I don't know if Pei Yunzhi felt awkward, but I certainly did!
What's wrong with him? He impersonated an island and then messed up.
Of course he was embarrassed! His face turned red, hahaha!
The lie was exposed so suddenly that Pei Yunzhi and Sun Yu were so embarrassed that their toes curled up.
Especially Sun Yu, she just said it casually, thinking it was impossible for her to actually run into the person in question.
But I never expected things to go wrong so quickly.
Sun Yu stuck out her tongue nonchalantly, "I wasn't wrong just now, Yunzhi and Uncle are family, they're both from the Pei family."
When Pei Jingzhan heard the words "family," he chuckled and glanced at Pei Yunzhi without leaving a trace.
Yan Qiao smiled and quietly took his hand.
"Let's go, by the time we get there the sun will have already set."
Pei Jingzhan and she held hands and boarded the sightseeing bus together.
Just as the group behind him was about to step forward, they heard Xiao Yunqi shout, "Third Brother! Wait for me!"
Pei Jingzhan scoffed, "Don't wait for them, get in the car!"
Weng Hong and Jiang Hao quickly got into the car, followed closely by Duan Yunxiao and Ruan Qing.
Only Jin Lu and Sun Yu's teams remained standing still.
Jin Lu's eyes lit up when she saw Chen Wu and his group.
"Or perhaps we should wait a bit."
Pei Jingzhan ignored her and told the driver to start the car.
By the time Chen Wu and his group arrived, the sightseeing bus had already sped away.
Xiao Yunqi was so angry he laughed, "Why not be a decent human being? Why choose to be a dog!"
Chen Wu noticed a sightseeing bus nearby and quickly took his wife's hand and boarded it.
Xiao Yunqi and Chu Xiting, along with their respective couples, boarded the car immediately afterward.
Before Jin Lu could even say hello, she heard Xiao Yunqi shout, "Charge! Catch up with them!"
After they left, Jin Lu couldn't hold back anymore, and her face fell.
Oh well, I'll find another opportunity to talk to them over at the viewing promenade; it'll be the same.
"Let's go over there too."
Pei Yunzhi said quietly, "Didn't you notice? There are only two sightseeing buses."
Jin Lu was taken aback. She looked around and couldn't see any sightseeing vehicles.
A staff member nearby offered their suggestion: "We also have tandem bicycles here, would you like some?"
This is a tandem bicycle, the kind with one in front of the other.
It even has a convertible top and looks quite new.
Jin Lu and Sun Yu looked at the dresses they were wearing, somewhat reluctantly.
But right now, it seems there's no better option than this.
Either don't go, or you'll miss the opportunity to talk to these big shots.
We can either take the plunge and ride our bicycles to the viewing promenade.
Jin Lu and Sun Yu exchanged a glance and decisively chose the latter.
Sun Yu grabbed Pei Yunzhi's arm and said, "Shall we ride our bicycles over there?"
Pei Yunzhi's face was extremely ugly; he had never ridden such a bizarre bicycle in his entire life.
Jin Lu, however, had already taken action and proactively brought out a bicycle.
"Wenxu, let's go."
Jiang Wenxu is also an ambitious person. He couldn't possibly give up this opportunity to meet so many business tycoons.
"Yunzhi, let's set off now." He patted Pei Yunzhi on the shoulder.
Sun looked at him pleadingly, "Let's go too. Everyone else has already gone over. We can't just be the two of us left here enjoying the sea breeze."
Under her persuasion, Pei Yunzhi reluctantly got on the bicycle with her, and they rode forward with difficulty, wobbling along.
