If the other party had not mentioned his son's name, he would have suspected that the other party was talking about someone else's son.
At the end, the other party also praised Pei Yang, his father, in an unconventional way.
Pei Yang was modest (guilty): "This child has been smart since he was young, and he loves to make trouble. I don't control him much, it's my wife who teaches him. She is more patient than me and more educated. She has made an indelible contribution to the child's current achievements."
Hearing him say this, Mr. Xu took the opportunity to praise him for being so lucky to have married a virtuous wife and a good mother.
When it comes to his own wife, Pei Yang becomes excited and talks incessantly, with eight out of ten sentences praising Shen Mingzhu.
Not only that, when they started talking about other topics, they would suddenly turn to Shen Mingzhu.
I feel so proud as if no other wife in the world is as good as my wife.
Many years later, even though Pei Yang was a successful entrepreneur with a net worth of billions, people would still joke behind his back: He is just a henpecked man.
…
On the day of arriving in London, Pei Tang couldn't wait to take gifts and reunite with his friends even before packing his luggage.
"This is our local red star apple, which is unique to Fengcheng. After washing, cut it into thin slices, first freeze it at low temperature and then vacuum dry it. In the end, it becomes this crispy and sweet freeze-dried apple chips."
Listening to Pei Tang's introduction, Aisha and Kona nodded in surprise while tasting the apple chips.
“It’s delicious. I like it.”
“I like it too!”
After tasting the snacks Pei Tang brought for them from China, Aisha and Kona also took out the small gifts they prepared for Pei Tang.
The gift Elsa prepared was a tent cloth backpack that she designed and sewed herself. The front was embroidered with Pei Tang's favorite rabbit pattern with sequins, and the back was embroidered with Pei Tang's English name, Alice, with colorful silk threads.
Kona prepared a set of mugs she made herself for Pei Tang, with a total of six colors, which were very delicate and beautiful.
"Elsa, Kona, thank you for your gifts. I like them very much and I will keep them well."
"You're welcome. We also enjoy the delicious food you brought from your hometown."
"Alice, I really want to visit your hometown if I have the chance!"
Pei Tang pecked at the rice like a little chicken, smiling so that his almond eyes curved into crescents, "Okay, okay, welcome. I'll take you to visit my mother's food factory. There are many delicious snacks in it, including the ones I brought you. They were all developed by my mother."
Aisha and Kona's faces showed envy, surprise, and admiration.
"Alice, your mom is amazing!"
Pei Tang was not modest at all, "Of course, my mother is amazing."
Shen Mingzhu had just packed her luggage and walked out of the room. She couldn't help laughing when she heard her daughter praising her.
Pei Ziheng's room.
Zhuang Xu looked at Pei Ziheng who was placing his personal belongings in an orderly manner, and said hesitantly: "I want to start a business. What do you think I should do?"
Pei Ziheng didn't even turn his head, "What was your original intention for starting a business?"
Not sure if he was stumped by his question or if he hadn’t figured out how to answer it, Zhuang Xu didn’t say anything for a while.
"If you just want a career that can support yourself and your family, then you can do whatever you want. But if your goal is to restore your family to its former glory and splendor, I would be interested in giving you some pointers."
After all, he was a young master who had been pampered since childhood. Hearing Pei Ziheng's condescending tone, he felt a little unconvinced.
But when he thought of Pei Ziheng's abilities and methods, he quietly restrained his temper.
"Then tell me, I'm listening."
Pei Ziheng turned around and looked into his dark eyes, which were bottomless and like a deep black hole that could swallow people: "Zhuang Xu, I don't get up early without profit, and I have no interest in helping the poor or doing charity. If I help you, what can you give me?"
But the look in the eyes of the boy in front of him, who was five or six years younger than him, actually made him feel oppressed and nervous.
"What do you want?"
Pei Ziheng walked up to him with his slender legs and tapped his chest with his fingers.
Zhuang Xu clearly felt that the heart in his chest beat twice to the rhythm of Pei Ziheng's tapping.
"I want you to always stand in my Pei Ziheng's camp."
In other words, I can help you, but you must be my ally and never stand against me.
As the eldest son of a wealthy family, Zhuang Xu is somewhat rebellious.
"Even if I agree to you now, aren't you afraid that I will regret it later?"
“You can try.”

Pei Ziheng's words were clearly nonchalant, but Zhuang Xu inexplicably felt a chill creeping up his tailbone.
He had a premonition that if he really dared to regret it in the future, he would die a miserable death.
"Pei Ziheng, has anyone ever told you that you are terrifying?"
Pei Ziheng remained noncommittal. "How could I have any bad intentions? All I did was just to protect the people around me, that's all."
Touched by his honesty, Zhuang Xu stretched out his right hand without hesitation.
"I promise."
Pei Ziheng curled his lips and shook his hand, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
After the alliance was confirmed, Zhuang Xu couldn't wait to know which industry he should start his business in.
Pei Ziheng did not answer but asked: "What do you think is your advantage? Or, what are you good at?"
These words successfully made Zhuang Xu's face reveal a trace of embarrassment.
Pei Ziheng had thought about this issue seriously long before he came to London.
But after thinking about it, he found that he was nothing.
Although he had been trained as an heir and received top-notch education since childhood, he had not had the chance to get involved in the family business. He was completely clueless about starting his own business, otherwise he would not have come to Pei Ziheng for advice.
But his pride made him unwilling to admit that he was a loser: "My academic performance is pretty good, all subjects are above A, I can speak four languages English, French and German, my sister is Mrs. Ning, and my brother-in-law is the heir to the third branch of the Ning family..."
Under Pei Ziheng's silent gaze, his voice gradually became quieter until it disappeared.
Pei Ziheng said, "You missed the most important point. You know a bunch of playboys who were born in the upper class like you."
Zhuang Xu obviously didn't understand what Pei Ziheng was up to. "What does this have to do with my business? Those people are good at nothing except eating, drinking and having fun."
"It is precisely because they are nothing that they urgently need to make some achievements to prove to their families and the outside world that they are not fools. As the saying goes, human nature is that there are needs because of lack."
Zhuang Xu seemed to be thinking about something.
"Zhuang Xu, what do you think is the most popular industry in London right now?"
"finance?"
At present, because the Y government vigorously promotes financial liberalization reforms and relaxes financial regulations, it has attracted a large amount of international capital to flow into London, promoted the prosperity of the financial industry, and also spawned the demand for high-end services.
