166 Yao Qianningâs Hostility
At Sheng Heng Corporation.
Yao Qianning, who was standing at the front desk of the hall, pushed up the sunglasses on her nose. âHow did it go?â
âPlease wait a moment.â
âItâs been five minutes.â
!!
âBecause itâs lunch break now. Assistant Qu might not be in the office. Iâll help you ask around.â
The receptionistâs attitude was flawless. Yao Qianning suppressed her impatience and continued to wait with a frown.
After another five minutes, she finally got through to the assistantâs office. âIâm sorry to keep you waiting. This way, please.â
Yao Qianning turned around and walked into the elevator to the top floor alone.
She stared in the direction of the CEOâs office and was stopped by Qu Shao who suddenly appeared.
âMiss Yao, the boss is still taking an afternoon nap.â
âItâs half past one now.â Yao Qianning raised her right hand slightly and pointed at the watch on her wrist for him to see.
âWe donât start work until two oâclock.â
She crossed her arms. âAssistant Qu, the last time I came to Sheng Heng was also at this time.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThat was last time.â Qu Shao stood at the door of the CEOâs office. âI have no reason to lie to you.â
Yao Qianning did not believe him.
Afraid that she would not be able to see Pei Zhi today, she knocked on the door twice when Qu Shao was not paying attention.
Qu Shao quickly grabbed her wrist. âItâs not appropriate for you to do this.â
âLet go!â
âIâm sorry.â He retracted his hand, and the smile on his face disappeared. âPlease move to the assistantâs office.â
âWhat if I donât?â Yao Qianning raised her chin, as if she would not stop until she saw Pei Zhi.
âThen Iâll have to call the security.â
âYou can try.â
Just as they were in a deadlock, Pei Zhi opened the door impatiently. âWhat is the commotion about?â
As soon as he appeared, Yao Qianningâs attitude changed.
She took off her sunglasses and revealed her beautiful face. âQu Shao insisted on telling me that you were resting.â
âIâm indeed resting.â
âReally? I thought you wouldnât take an afternoon nap.â
Pei Zhi looked at Qu Shao, who was secretly rolling his eyes, and gestured for them to come in together so that they would not bicker again.
He threw a cigarette to Qu Shao and pulled out the chair behind the desk to sit down. âWhat do you want?â
Yao Qianning stared at his face and fell into deep thought.
At the end of the year before last, she returned from studying in England and met Pei Zhi for the first time at her fatherâs birthday party.
At that time, he was especially dazzling. The women who were invited to the banquet were all looking at him and discussing him, including her.
She originally thought that with her fatherâs relationship with Pei Zhi, marrying him wouldnât be a problem.
Unexpectedly, she was suddenly told that he was in a relationship.
âMiss Yao.â Qu Shao received a look from Pei Zhi and knocked on the table. âBoss is talking to you.â
Yao Qianning came back to her senses.
She looked down at the glass he was holding. âWhy is there a lipstick mark on it?â
âI wouldnât have noticed if you hadnât mentioned it.â
âWho did it?â
âMy girlfriend.â Pei Zhi took two sips on the spot stained with lipstick.
When he said âgirlfriendâ, his voice was extremely gentle, but it dealt a huge blow to Yao Qianning.
She clenched her sunglasses and started talking to him about serious matters in order to control her emotions. âI came here this time to discuss a collaboration with you.â
âOn what?â
âThe second-generation Xiao Heng you mentioned at the press conference.â
Pei Zhi put down the glass. âOther companies wonât participate in the design of the second generation of Xiao Heng Robot.â
âYouâre mistaken.â Yao Qianning did not even think of participating in the design. âI mean I want to invest.â
âHow much?â
âFive hundred million.â
Pei Zhi suddenly smiled. âAre you kidding me?â
âNo.â Yao Qianning looked at him seriously. âBased on the current market, no company can offer more than the Yao Corporation, right?â
Pei Zhi did not answer. âQu Shao, tell Miss Yao about Xiao Heng Robotâs sales.â
âAs of eight oâclock last night, we sold a total of 10,000 units for a total of 3.6 billion.â
Qu Shao did not forget to add, â10,000 units is only presales. The sale will officially start next week.â
Yao Qianningâs expression was complicated.
She couldnât imagine how much profit the second generation of Xiao Heng would make when the sale officially started. After weighing the pros and cons, she said, âIâll add another 500 million.â
âItâs not about how much you add.â Pei Zhi blew out a puff of smoke and said bluntly, âXiao Heng Series doesnât accept investments.â
Sheng Heng had enough capital, and the talents he had were among the best in Lin City. There was no reason for him to give a piece of cake to others.
Yao Qianning was silent for a long time.
She knew that this piece of cake was not easy to grab, but she still wanted to fight for it. âAre you free tomorrow? Iâll get my father to talk to you.â
âNo.â
âWhat about the weekend?â
Pei Zhi lit his cigarette. âNo matter who comes, I wonât change my mind.â
Yao Qianning knew that there was no room for negotiation, so she could only watch as the cake disappeared.
She pursed her lips. âIâllâ¦â
âPei Zhi.â A lazy and soft voice came from the lounge. âCome in.â
âRight away.â Pei Zhi stubbed out his cigarette.
He strode into the lounge, took off the coat hanging by the wall, and put it on for Lin Jiao.
âWhat time is it?â Lin Jiao bit his chin, leaving a faint mark on it.
âThree minutes to two.â
âThen Iâm going back to my station.â
âThereâs no hurry.â Pei Zhi kissed her lips. âThat woman outside is very annoying. Can you help me chase her away?â
âDid she harass you?â
âLooks like sheâs preparing to do it.â
Hearing this, Lin Jiao instantly perked up.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and wrapped her long legs around his waist. âCarry me out.â
âAlright.â Pei Zhi smiled.
He held her butt and walked back to the desk in such an intimate posture. âIâm sorry, I was dressing her just now.â
Yao Qianningâs eyes were red with jealousy.
She stared at that vixen-like face and cursed in her heart dozens of times before calming down.
âItâs fine.â She put the broken sunglasses into the satchel. âMiss, whatâs your name?â
âLin.â Lin Jiao sensed her hostility and didnât want to waste her breath on her.
She leaned against Pei Zhiâs neck and said softly, âPei Zhi, my hand is numb.â
âWhich hand?â
âLeft hand.â
Pei Zhi held her fair hand.
Yao Qianning took a deep breath and asked, âDoes Sheng Heng have any projects I can invest in at the moment?â
âYou have to ask Qu Shao.â Pei Zhi was busy serving the person in his arms, so he kicked the hot potato Qu Shao.
