166 Yao Qianning’s Hostility
At Sheng Heng Corporation.
Yao Qianning, who was standing at the front desk of the hall, pushed up the sunglasses on her nose. “How did it go?”
“Please wait a moment.”
“It’s been five minutes.”
“Because it’s lunch break now. Assistant Qu might not be in the office. I’ll help you ask around.”
The receptionist’s 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 assistant’s office. “I’m sorry to keep you waiting. This way, please.”
Yao Qianning turned around and walked into the elevator to the top floor alone.
She stared in the direction of the CEO’s office and was stopped by Qu Shao who suddenly appeared.
“Miss Yao, the boss is still taking an afternoon nap.”
“It’s half past one now.” Yao Qianning raised her right hand slightly and pointed at the watch on her wrist for him to see.
“We don’t start work until two o’clock.”
She crossed her arms. “Assistant Qu, the last time I came to Sheng Heng was also at this time.”
“That was last time.” Qu Shao stood at the door of the CEO’s office. “I have no reason to lie to you.”
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. “It’s not appropriate for you to do this.”
“Let go!”
“I’m sorry.” He retracted his hand, and the smile on his face disappeared. “Please move to the assistant’s office.”
“What if I don’t?” Yao Qianning raised her chin, as if she would not stop until she saw Pei Zhi.
“Then I’ll have to call the security.”
“You can try.”
Just as they were in a deadlock, Pei Zhi opened the door impatiently. “What is the commotion about?”
As soon as he appeared, Yao Qianning’s attitude changed.
She took off her sunglasses and revealed her beautiful face. “Qu Shao insisted on telling me that you were resting.”
“I’m indeed resting.”
“Really? I thought you wouldn’t take an afternoon nap.”
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. “What do you want?”
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 father’s 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 father’s relationship with Pei Zhi, marrying him wouldn’t be a problem.
Unexpectedly, she was suddenly told that he was in a relationship.
“Miss Yao.” Qu Shao received a look from Pei Zhi and knocked on the table. “Boss is talking to you.”
Yao Qianning came back to her senses.
She looked down at the glass he was holding. “Why is there a lipstick mark on it?”
“I wouldn’t have noticed if you hadn’t mentioned it.”
“Who did it?”
“My girlfriend.” Pei Zhi took two sips on the spot stained with lipstick.
When he said “girlfriend”, 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. “I came here this time to discuss a collaboration with you.”
“On what?”
“The second-generation Xiao Heng you mentioned at the press conference.”
Pei Zhi put down the glass. “Other companies won’t participate in the design of the second generation of Xiao Heng Robot.”
“You’re mistaken.” Yao Qianning did not even think of participating in the design. “I mean I want to invest.”
“How much?”
“Five hundred million.”
Pei Zhi suddenly smiled. “Are you kidding me?”
“No.” Yao Qianning looked at him seriously. “Based on the current market, no company can offer more than the Yao Corporation, right?”
Pei Zhi did not answer. “Qu Shao, tell Miss Yao about Xiao Heng Robot’s sales.”
“As of eight o’clock last night, we sold a total of 10,000 units for a total of 3.6 billion.”
Qu Shao did not forget to add, “10,000 units is only presales. The sale will officially start next week.”
Yao Qianning’s expression was complicated.
She couldn’t 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, “I’ll add another 500 million.”
“It’s not about how much you add.” Pei Zhi blew out a puff of smoke and said bluntly, “Xiao Heng Series doesn’t accept investments.”
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. “Are you free tomorrow? I’ll get my father to talk to you.”
“No.”
“What about the weekend?”
Pei Zhi lit his cigarette. “No matter who comes, I won’t change my mind.”
Yao Qianning knew that there was no room for negotiation, so she could only watch as the cake disappeared.
She pursed her lips. “I’ll…”
“Pei Zhi.” A lazy and soft voice came from the lounge. “Come in.”
“Right away.” 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.
“What time is it?” Lin Jiao bit his chin, leaving a faint mark on it.
“Three minutes to two.”
“Then I’m going back to my station.”
“There’s no hurry.” Pei Zhi kissed her lips. “That woman outside is very annoying. Can you help me chase her away?”
“Did she harass you?”
“Looks like she’s preparing to do it.”
Hearing this, Lin Jiao instantly perked up.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and wrapped her long legs around his waist. “Carry me out.”
“Alright.” Pei Zhi smiled.
He held her butt and walked back to the desk in such an intimate posture. “I’m sorry, I was dressing her just now.”
Yao Qianning’s eyes were red with jealousy.
She stared at that vixen-like face and cursed in her heart dozens of times before calming down.
“It’s fine.” She put the broken sunglasses into the satchel. “Miss, what’s your name?”
“Lin.” Lin Jiao sensed her hostility and didn’t want to waste her breath on her.
She leaned against Pei Zhi’s neck and said softly, “Pei Zhi, my hand is numb.”
“Which hand?”
“Left hand.”
Pei Zhi held her fair hand.
Yao Qianning took a deep breath and asked, “Does Sheng Heng have any projects I can invest in at the moment?”
“You have to ask Qu Shao.” Pei Zhi was busy serving the person in his arms, so he kicked the hot potato Qu Shao.
