Chapter 127 Let Me Hear Too (Bai Pei)
"Ah, yes!"

His reminder made Shen Zhaoyi realize that the issue of project funding was still unresolved.

It's really just a formality; the money will all be handled by the system.

As for the amount and the details, she didn't care at all.

I glanced at my phone; it was already 3 PM.

Cheng Yubai has been keeping me company until so late, and I doubt there will be enough time to go back and talk.

"How about we call it a day?" Shen Zhaoyi said somewhat apologetically. "Should I have Uncle Wang take you there first?"

The implication is clear, everyone understands.

Cheng Yubai simply watched her quietly.

After a long pause, she finally curled her lips slightly and refused, "No need, I'll just take a taxi back."

"As for the project, we'll talk about it another time."

She had a very clever plan, but Shen Zhaoyi was unwilling to wait until next time.
As Cheng Yubai raised his hand to hail a taxi, he called out to the person who had stopped him.

"and many more!"

"Let's skip the formalities, just send me the receiving account information."

The unexpected answer caused Cheng Yubai's expression to freeze.

Fine, I've already invested in all the projects, I'll have other excuses later.

"Okay." In the end, he only uttered this one word and got into the car without looking back.

The taxi's taillights disappeared around the corner, and Pei Yan clicked his tongue. "I said, you and him are still working together?"

Shen Zhaoyi turned her head.

"Can't you?"

"That's not what I meant at all." Pei Yan rubbed his stinging forehead and curled his lip nonchalantly. "But he doesn't look like a good person at all. Sis, you'd better be careful and not be fooled."

"You should worry about yourself first!"

Shen Zhaoyi led Pei Yan into the car.

When Old Wang looked at it, he wondered why it was another young man.
But he didn't dare ask, and only respectfully asked, "Miss Shen, where are we going now?"

Shen Zhaoyi turned to Pei Yan and said, "Give me your address, and I'll take you back to rest first."

Today she got into a fight, was disfigured, and went to the police station again. She even considered giving someone pomelo leaf water to ward off bad luck.

"Jinyue Hotel, thank you."

After honestly stating her name, Shen Zhaoyi had an idea—

"Have you been staying in hotels for over a month?"

“Yeah.” Pei Yan leaned back, his tone nonchalant.

Are you settling in comfortably?

"Even if I'm not used to it, I have to stay here. It's better than sleeping on the streets."

Shen Zhaoyi didn't reply, but while admiring him, her gaze fell on his black T-shirt.

No wonder he looked familiar.

She was wearing this outfit at the end of the last race too...

"You haven't been wearing this one outfit all this time, have you?"

Pei Yan's ears burned, and she immediately retorted, "How could that be! I even brought a change of clothes!"

It's not much better!
Shen Zhaoyi's disdain became even more obvious.

Thankfully, guys just rinse their clothes quickly after washing them; if they had actually scrubbed them by hand, they would have holes by now.

Pei Yan could see her expression, of course. Not wanting to pay attention, he simply turned his head to look out the window.

When the car arrived at the hotel, Shen Zhaoyi spoke again, asking him if he had anything planned for tomorrow.

"No, why?"

"Wait for the call." She pointed ahead. "I'll have Uncle Wang come pick you up."

"Where are you taking me?"

"My family is discussing the car team."

Shen Zhaoyi had other plans, and it might not be convenient to meet at a restaurant.

Pei Yan felt that anywhere was fine.

Anyway, we're already so familiar with each other, and it's not like we haven't been there before.

He nodded and said okay.

Just before getting off the bus, he suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "You didn't bring your bird with you, did you?"

Shen Zhaoyi's eyes crinkled into a smile, and she gave him a mysterious look. "Guess?"

Pei Yan felt a chill run down his spine and slammed the car door shut.

I don't understand why he would be afraid of a parrot.

Shen Zhaoyi stared at the figure outside the window until it was completely out of sight before letting Old Wang walk home.

Back at the villa, Xu Meng greeted them and asked how the dishes at "Yunyin" were.

Although I only ate half of it, I put it all in my mouth.

Shen Zhaoyi nodded, "It's not bad, I'll take you to try it another day."

"Really? Then I'll remember that!"

Feeling her joy, the tycoon also flapped his wings on Xu Meng's head.

Shen Zhaoyi reached out and took it, examining it carefully—

Beautiful feathers, but a vacant stare.

It looks like an ordinary little bird, nothing scary about it.

He muttered to himself as he casually put it back on his shoulder, then nestled into the sofa.

I added a few sales assistants on WeChat when I went shopping for clothes last time, and now it comes in handy.

After roughly estimating Pei Yan's height and build, they were asked to select some men's clothing and send it over as soon as possible.

No sooner had the message been sent than one of them, Lily, a meticulous and bold woman, added: "Ms. Shen, would you like to provide matching shoes and socks? Also, should I prepare some underwear as well?"

Shen Zhaoyi paused, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Forget about the shoes, just make sure you get everything else."

We can't just accept this because the size is wrong. Let him pick out two pairs himself tomorrow.

After settling this matter, Cheng Yubai sent over the project's payment account information.

She got up and went upstairs, leaving the remittance to the system to handle.

Only after the ball bounced out of the signal did he exchange pleasantries with the other person:

[The funds have been received. Wishing Dr. Cheng a smooth recovery.]

However, Cheng Yubai did not reply.

That evening, seeing that she didn't have much reward money left, Shen Zhaoyi decided to clear it all out completely.

It's been a long time since I've felt this comfortable feeling of having my "balance" reduced to zero.

Su Ye got home late tonight and was still tidying up. Since she had nothing else to do, she decided to register her number at Victoria Harbour.

It's not time for the handover yet.

But someone tagged Shen Zhaoyi in the public chat.

[vic.Jianbai: @zy, sister! Long time no see!]

An unfamiliar ID, but a familiar tone.

No relevant object was found in my mind.

Shen Zhaoyi asked, "Who are you?"

Jian Bai raised her hand on the microphone, and after receiving permission, a slightly aggrieved voice came from the phone—

"Don't you remember me, sister? I'm Ken!"

Ken?

The long-buried memories were unearthed, and Shen Zhaoyi finally unearthed that embarrassing experience from a certain corner of her mind. (Chapter 12)
Feeling a little embarrassed, she typed hesitantly, saying she remembered.

Ken, or rather, Jane White now.

Upon hearing this reply, her tone became enthusiastic: "I didn't expect you to be the owner here! I'm new here too. Would you like to listen to some music? You didn't know I'm fluent in Cantonese!"

No need, I'm just browsing.

Not disappointed after being rejected, Jian Bai spoke again, her voice carrying a hint of coaxing intimacy.

"Sister, it's okay if you don't listen to music~"

"I've also learned a few other things recently~"

Although Victoria Harbour has regulations that require mic takeovers to be serious games and singing, and not to do anything that crosses the line.

However, they don't interfere with how the boss is treated in private.

Jian Bai couldn't stop thinking about what Boss ZY had done the first time he came.

Unfortunately, countless private messages were sent afterward, but they were all unread.

His former employer wasn't doing well and had few orders. He finally managed to switch jobs and happened to run into this person again, so he was determined to keep him hooked.

How could Shen Zhaoyi not understand the implication in those words?

Just as I was about to politely decline, a message suddenly popped up on the public chat:
[Xiao Che: What else? Let me hear it too~]
