Chapter 142 Husband, you're the best to me!

Ming's Group, Planning Department
Under the sweltering heat, the sky outside the window was exceptionally blue, with fluffy white clouds drifting lazily by.

The planning department hasn't been too busy lately, and the overall work atmosphere in the department has been quite relaxed.

Qi Fei picked up her phone and looked at it after her phone vibrated several times on her desk.

She thought her colleague in administration had sent her some new gossip, but little did she know that she herself was the one being gossiped about.

Qi Fei was completely stunned when she received messages from her friends complaining and questioning her.

"???"

Qi Fei didn't know what to say to express her bewilderment, so she sent three question marks to express her confusion.

"President Pei said it himself: you and my boss are a couple. I was there, so don't play dumb with me."

When Qi Fei received another message from her friend, she couldn't believe it. She replied:
"Did President Pei say that himself?"

"President Pei also said he'd give him a chance to come down and meet you. Just wait, our boss will be there soon."

What does Xiaoming's husband mean? Why is he suddenly acting so strangely?
Qi Fei's criticism of Pei Ming was her first reaction, but she couldn't possibly say it aloud.

"When President Pei said that, didn't your boss deny it?" Since her friend was there, Qi Fei had to find out more.

"No, so stop pretending!"

Du Lian didn't deny it on the spot? This puzzled Qi Fei. What exactly did he mean?

Qi Fei wasn't stupid either; she knew that Pei Ming's actions today were definitely related to Ming Wei.

However, it was inconvenient for others to hear about what happened between them.

Qi Fei took a screenshot of her chat history with her friend and sent it to Ming Weiyi the next second.

In addition to this screenshot, she also attached a sentence:

"Did you cause this mess?"

After sending the message, Qi Fei coughed lightly twice at Ming Weiyi, and then held up her phone to show Ming Weiyi the message.

Having received Qi Fei's hint, Ming Wei also picked up her phone and took a look.

Less than three seconds later, Mingwei covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing out loud.

Seeing Ming Weiyi's maniacal laughter, Qi Fei understood; this was Ming Weiyi's terrible idea.

"If you're too embarrassed to do this yourself, of course I'll find someone else to do it."

Mingwei replied confidently, and her face turned red as she smiled while sending the message.

Qi Fei rolled her eyes at Ming Weiyi, "You two are truly a couple, both of you are crazy."

Pei Ming's willingness to listen to Ming Weiyi and spread rumors about her relationship with Du Lian in front of everyone at the company was something Qi Fei never expected.

In Qi Fei's mind, Pei Ming had always been a rather aloof, very serious, and seemingly difficult person to talk to.

This also made Qi Fei realize that Pei Ming was helping Ming Weiyi do such boring things, and that Pei Ming's feelings for Ming Weiyi were absolutely true love.

Despite her laughter, Mingwei switched the chat window to Pei Ming's. Pei Ming had done such a good job of completing the task she had assigned, so she had to give him a proper compliment.

"You're amazing! You actually helped me spread the rumor so quickly and naturally!"

In the president's office, Pei Ming knew his words would travel fast. Upon receiving Ming Wei's praise, a smile appeared on Pei Ming's lips.

"Who said it's a rumor? I'm telling the truth."

"What do you mean?" Mingwei was also a little confused.

Pei Ming recalled Du Lian's hesitant expression earlier and replied, "Du Lian didn't deny it, so how could I be spreading rumors?"

However, Mingwei didn't think so. She guessed, "What if Du Lian feels that publicly denying what you said will make Qi Fei very embarrassed in the company if word gets around?"

"Why does he care if Qi Fei is embarrassed? It's because he cares about Qi Fei." Pei Ming hit the nail on the head, which made Ming Wei think that he was indeed someone who hung out with Du Lian every day!
"Pei Ming! You truly live up to your reputation!"

"Let me change how you address me; I've taken care of all this dramatic stuff for you."

If Mingwei hadn't been so persistent in nagging him at home, Pei Ming wouldn't have been doing such pointless things at the company.

Mingwei understood Pei Ming, and she immediately sent him a new message: "Honey, you're the best to me!"

Controlling Pei Ming is now a piece of cake for Ming Wei.

Upon receiving this message, Pei Ming's face predictably broke into a satisfied smile.

This person really does show up whenever he says he'll do it.

Across the corridor from the planning department, Qi Fei and Ming Wei could already hear Li Anwen fawningly greeting Du Lian.

"What's going on today? What brings Assistant Du to the planning department in person?"

"It's the wind that President Pei is blowing."

Du Lian's answer was concise, but also very clear.

Li Anwen has always been a shrewd person. Now that Du Lian has arrived, he naturally has to stay here and accompany him. Moreover, since Du Lian is not telling him the reason for his visit, it means that he has no right to listen.

What needs to be done now is to arrange for someone to invite Fu Baiqing over.

"Feifei, hurry up and invite President Fu over."

Li Anwen's voice came from the doorway. Qi Fei was speechless. Why did they have to choose her at such an awkward time?

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Seeing Qi Fei's reluctant and embarrassed expression, Ming Wei really wanted to laugh.

Mingwei could understand why Li Anwen was ordering Qi Fei around, as Qi Fei had always been the person Li Anwen valued most.

Qi Fei stood up from her seat and deliberately avoided looking at Du Lian, but Du Lian's gaze remained fixed on her.

Du Lian could sense Qi Fei's coldness towards him, but since they were at the company and in a public place, he couldn't say much to Qi Fei.

Two minutes later, Fu Baiqing and Qi Fei walked over one after the other. At this time, Du Lian had already entered the Planning Department, pretending to look around casually.

"Assistant Du, what is it that requires your personal visit?"

Fu Baiqing's voice came from behind Du Lian, who immediately turned around. He understood the current "state" between Pei Ming and Fu Baiqing.

He understood better that Pei Ming's insistence on having him come to the planning department was definitely not so that he could see Qi Fei.

"President Fu, you hold a high position of power now. Apart from me, who can speak on behalf of President Pei, I'm afraid no one else is qualified to speak to you."

The moment Du Lian opened his mouth, the tension between him and Fu Baiqing immediately escalated.

The entire Planning Department, including Li Anwen, immediately perked up and listened intently.

"Speak, what does President Pei want from me?"

Fu Baiqing instantly understood Du Lian's meaning, and his forced smile made his subordinates feel a sense of dread.

Du Lian's demeanor was in no way inferior to Fu Baiqing's. "It's nothing serious. President Pei wants to see your planning department's third-quarter plan."

“Okay, he’ll see it tomorrow, but…” Fu Baiqing deliberately hesitated.

Du Lian asked very cooperatively, "But what?"

"By the end of the third quarter, I don't know if President Pei and you will still be at Ming's Group."

Fu Baiqing's tone was extremely arrogant when he said this, and everyone present, except for Ming Weiyi and Qi Fei, stared in astonishment.

Du Lian sneered, "To be honest, I really want to go back to Pei's Group. President Fu, you must work hard to reach even greater heights."

After finishing with Yin Yang, Fu Baiqing and Du Lian strode out of the Planning Department.
