Chapter 275: Chapter 275: President Pei’s Money is the Boss’s Money Chapter 275: Chapter 275: President Pei’s Money is the Boss’s Money At least, Qingwu was still willing to give him this opportunity.
Qingwu looked at Pei Jue in front of her, a teasing smile on her lips.
“So, you didn’t have to do that.”
Pei Jue raised his head slightly to look at Qingwu sitting on the flower bed.
Her gaze rippled, looking at him like a “Goddess” from the heavens, with a magic that pulled him in.
Pei Jue chuckled softly and reached out to help Qingwu down from the flower bed.
“No problem, we’re friends. If Little Wu needs it, my abs and chest muscles are all yours to feel.”
“Really? Being friends with President Pei is quite a bargain.”
Pei Jue looked at the girl standing next to him, “Of course, after all, Little Wu is my only friend right now.”
He didn’t want her to misunderstand, thinking he was generous with all his friends.
“I don’t have any male friends this close. Being friends with me, Little Wu, you can rest assured.”
Qingwu raised an eyebrow, “You mean you have male friends this close?”
Her eyes were filled with mischievous and cunning humor, her brows arching, lively like a butterfly in the garden.
Pei Jue was momentarily stunned, then realized from Qingwu’s playful eyes that she did it on purpose!
“Not at all. Work is too busy, no time to make friends.”
Before meeting Qingwu, Pei Jue’s life was not very colorful, nor did he have much time for socializing.
Walking together toward the villa in the resort, Qingwu lifted her chin slightly, her steps lively.
Pei Jue always exuded an aura of calm and strategic control, unhurried and composed, as if everything was under his command, a born leader!
Walking with him, Qingwu didn’t feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, she was taken care of by Pei Jue’s every move!
Having just said they would start as friends, he maintained a polite social distance with Qingwu, which brought warmth to her heart.
Yet his gaze stayed glued to Qingwu, like a shadow, always lingering on her…
Down by the riverbank, Mrs. Pei had caught several fish.
Pei Jue could tell that they were caught by the few male models brought by Tian Liang, yet they skillfully hooked them onto Mrs. Pei’s rod, making her laugh heartily, her laugh brighter and cheerier.
One of the male models supported Mrs. Pei, “Madam, you are amazing! Have something to eat before you continue, we’d feel bad if you got tired.”
They handed over Mrs. Pei’s medicine box, and she happily took it immediately.
Pei Jue watched Mrs. Pei take her medicine and go to rest with the company of a few male models, and he, too, sighed in relief.
“Beidou Star’s service is indeed good.”
Tian Liang appeared out of nowhere, handing Pei Jue a QR code with a sycophantic smile.
“President Pei, welcome to invest! Our focus is on elderly care and we help keep their secrets too!”
Pei Jue caught the underlying meaning in Tian Liang’s words.
“What did Grandma tell them?”
“A lot! As a family member, it’s not impossible for you to know, but that’s a different price.”
Qingwu looked helplessly at her subordinate, “Is the company short on money lately?”
She remembered that Beidou Star’s two entertainment companies were thriving, with plenty of big-name actors.
Even if they don’t make money hand over fist, they shouldn’t be short on cash.
“They weren’t, until Yuheng was penalized with a breach of contract fine by the last crew!”
“We also sued the crew, but it’s a separate matter. The crew director knows several big luxury brand endorsements, and Yuheng has a lot to compensate…”
“Too ruthless, that director even stole a lot of resources from our Yuheng, impacting the other artists’ schedules with the company!”
“President Pei, you know we’re a legitimate company, honest folks! We’re not those shifty types, you know we’re a tax-paying model…”
Qingwu raised an eyebrow, watching Tian Liang’s performance quietly.
These were issues Chu Yuheng encountered plenty of when he first started.
When he debuted, Chu Yuheng encountered workplace misconduct and beat the director to a pulp on the spot, avoiding vital areas and making that director bedridden for months.
Chu Yuheng filmed because he loved it, not because it was the only thing he could do.
As Pei Jue listened, his side profile had a rugged outline, and his expression was noble, paying more attention since it was her company.
“Alright, I’ll invest. Send me your company’s project plan another day, and if it’s suitable, I’ll increase the investment proportion.”
“Yay! President Pei, you’re like a big sucker for our company… I mean, the God of Fortune for our company!”
Tian Liang added Pei Jue as a friend and left without looking back, clutching his phone.
“Boss, I won’t disturb your lovey-dovey moment, I’ll head off!”
He had seen earlier the intimate scene between the boss and President Pei… President Pei was willing to flaunt his charms in front of their boss!
The boss was impressive!
Tian Liang realized their boss was so close to President Pei without slapping him, all for pulling investment for Beidou Star!
To push the company’s development to this extent, indeed, Qingwu was a modern-day capitalist…
Receiving an investment transfer, Tian Liang quickly took a screenshot and sent it to the Beidou Star group chat.
[Look closely, this is the money invested by our boss’s man. What does this mean? The kind we don’t have to share dividends!]
After all, President Pei’s money was no different from the boss’s money!
Qingwu looked at the message on her phone and rubbed her forehead helplessly.
“You didn’t have to invest. They have ways to handle it. Yuheng has my fourth brother’s help; the company’s legal team is no slouch either.”
“I am a businessman, any project with potential interests me!”
He was calm, strides confident, with an extraordinary aura, as if he had just made an insignificant investment.
If it wasn’t for the significant amount, Qingwu would’ve thought he merely went out for groceries…
Pei Jue’s eyes carried a fragmented smile, and his lips curved into a subtle arc.
“Or are you worried I’d suffer a loss, my friend? Rest assured, my investment acumen is quite good, at the very least, I’ve never misjudged.”
He suddenly stepped closer, “Whether it’s evaluating projects or people, I haven’t been wrong.”
Qingwu felt the oppressive aura from Pei Jue suddenly closing in, “President Pei doesn’t worry, why should I!”
After leaving those words, she strode off without looking back, her retreating figure like a little rabbit fleeing in panic.
Behind her came Pei Jue’s low laughter.
…
The medical room at the resort.
Ye Qilan had changed clothes and lay on the bed, while an assistant was still drying his wet hair…
He still seemed a bit weak, but fortunately, nothing major happened.
Ye Qilan was getting older, and with the water in the reservoir being cold and deep, his face was flushed red from the chill…
Pei Jundu looked at Ye Qilan, rubbed his hands apologetically, “Sorry, Professor Ye. My mom is getting old, her eyesight isn’t good, didn’t see you there.”
“My mom, she just came to fish. Who knew she’d accidentally run into you, Professor Ye…”
