Chapter Thirty-One: The Landlady is Here!
There is still a two-week break before the recording of the second episode of the show.
Pei Yanchuan took this opportunity to deal with the fleas that kept jumping around in front of him and Xu Wang.
On this day, Pei Yanchuan arrived at the company and had just sat down at his desk when a cacophony of curses erupted from the hallway outside.
"You unfilial son, come out here!"
"You can scheme against your own father like this! Are you even human?"
"Pei Yanchuan, you've gone too far! This is our family's entire savings!"
"Pei Yanchuan, come out here! Do you dare to do it but not admit it?"
The corridor was filled not only with the voices of middle-aged men, but also with the voices of young men and women.
"President Pei." Assistant Yang gently knocked on the office door.
"Enter."
"Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei, Young Master Pei and Miss Pei have been escorted out by security," Assistant Yang reported, placing the documents in his hand on the table.
"How much did they lose this time?" Pei Yanchuan asked casually, taking a sip of coffee.
"According to the investigation, Mr. Pei sold off many properties for this land, and the loss this time should be 1 billion yuan." Assistant Yang opened the tablet in his hand, which showed some real estate information. Mr. Pei has really lost both his wife and his army this time.
In order to raise more funds, Pei's father sold many of his properties at extremely low prices. Pei Yanchuan was not the type to turn down money, so he used the money in his own account to buy them all and gifted them all to Xu Wang.
"The rent should be enough for Xiao Wang to have some pocket money," Pei Yanchuan said calmly, glancing at the final amount.
Assistant Yang's lips twitched upon hearing this. How come he hadn't noticed that his boss actually had the potential to be love-struck?
This is the rent for two buildings, not even including other real estate and villas. So much money is just pocket money for the landlady.
He's really tired of using the word "envy".
Meanwhile, in the villa, Xu Wang had just gotten up when he noticed that his left eyelid was twitching non-stop, and it didn't stop even after he finished eating.
Xu Wang sat cross-legged in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, trying to calm his left eyelid, but it seemed to twitch even more intensely.
"A twitching left eyelid means good fortune, a twitching right eyelid means bad luck. This means someone is going to give me money." Xu Wang reached out and touched his left eyelid, which was twitching very rapidly.
Xu Wang took out his phone to kill time, and the first trending topic pushed to his phone was Pei's father causing a scene at the Pei Group.
Xu Wang frowned and opened the video. In the video, Pei's father, Mu Tingting, Pei Feng, and Pei Yan were blocked outside the door by Pei Group's security guards with ferocious expressions.
The family of four kept spewing vicious words.
As Xu Wang watched this scene, something suddenly occurred to him.
This scene seems to have occurred in the original text as well. The first episode of the recording of the main characters received great praise. During the break after the recording, the Pei family broke out in this controversy. It was not only the controversy over this video, but also the controversy over Pei Yanchuan's gossip news that night.
After the incident broke out, Zhong Ran was the only one to speak up for Pei Yanchuan. In the novel, the timing of his statement was also very coincidental. He spoke up one second and the next second the Pei Group released evidence, as if they had received some advance notice.
This statement led Zhong Ran's fans and uninformed netizens to believe that Zhong Ran and Pei Yanchuan had a particularly good relationship. Some even dug up photos of them when they were young, suggesting that they were childhood sweethearts.
But in fact, Pei Yanchuan's scandalous news was caused by Pei Yan. She hired an Omega to impersonate a beta and infiltrate the Pei Group in order to find an opportunity to ruin Pei Yanchuan's reputation, preferably to make the old man dislike him.
Xu Wang twirled his phone and squinted. "Pei Yan, right? Very well, you've successfully caught my attention."
Xu Wang picked up the spare car key from the entrance and strode out of the villa.
Xu Wang drove to the Pei Group building, next to which was a large shopping mall.
Instead of rushing to Pei's company, Xu Wang went to the mall and bought Pei Yanchuan a set of clothes.
Xu Wang had his eye on a black suit. This suit was a little different from other suits in that it was only suitable for wearing nothing underneath. In addition, the designer had designed several diamond chains for this suit, which could be detached or hung directly on the chest.
The unique design and the finest materials make this outfit quite valuable.
Xu Wang looked at the price, which was nearly seven figures, and immediately took out his black card: "Swipe the card."
"Yes, sir."
Xu Wang carried his clothes into the Pei Group building.
The receptionist, Xiao Zhu, happened to be looking at him and almost didn't realize it at first glance.
"My God, Xiao Li, quickly look who this big shot at the door is?"
"What's wrong? Let me see." The receptionist, known as Xiao Li, looked up in confusion.
At just one glance, her eyes widened, and she subconsciously turned to look at her colleague.
Their eyes sparkled with gossip, and they spoke in unison.
"Boss lady!"
"Hello, I'm looking for Pei Yanchuan."
Just as the two were gazing at each other excitedly, a gentle voice came from in front of them.
"Okay, okay, sir, no, Mr. Xu, this way, I'll take you to President Pei's private elevator." Xiao Li snapped out of his daze and quickly walked to Xu Wang's side to lead the way.
"Thank you for your help." Xu Wang nodded with a smile.
Watching the two walk away, Xiao Zhu could no longer contain her excitement and took out her phone to open the large group chat for employees.
Front desk Xiao Zhu: Brothers and sisters, guess who I just saw?
Receptionist Xiao Zhu: [I was so excited I spun around on the spot and did the splits.]
PR Department Xiao Guan: Who did you see? Why are you so excited? [Curious]
HR Xiao Zhao: Don't get excited yet. There are a few people being interviewed today, so don't forget to let them in.
Tech guy Lao Hei: Are you here for our department? Hurry up, I'm almost bald.
Xiao Ye from the Business Department: It must be someone from our department. My legs are about to burst from running if they don't come soon.
Technical Department Xiao A: It must be from our department.
Xiao Jia from the Business Department: He's from our department!
Front desk Xiao Zhu: Stop arguing, you're all wrong. I saw the boss's wife.
Old Black from the Technical Department: !

Ms. Chen from the Finance Department: !
