Chapter 89 Sister-in-law, please (Pei Yan)
“But I don’t even have a chance to use my skills here,” Xu Meng muttered to herself. “The two aunties and the housekeeper do all the work, and I’m just a freeloader.”

Shen Zhaoyi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Relax, just think of it as accompanying me on a business trip at my own expense. I won't fire you."

Xu Meng's ears burned from what she said, and she grabbed her things and ran into the house.

The latter lifted his foot to follow.

Inside the villa's hall, two aunties also came over to join in the fun. The group sat around on the carpet, staring at the birdcage parts scattered all over the floor.

It looks simple, but actually it takes a bit of brainpower to operate.

After managing to put it together, the wealthy man showed no signs of aversion to his "new house" and started eating as soon as he found the food box.

Lunch was prepared by my aunt.

The skills accumulated over the years have resulted in dishes that are not only delicious but also have a homey taste.

After dinner, Xu Meng went to pester people to share their cooking tips. Shen Zhaoyi returned to the third floor and asked Pei Yan how his preparations for the competition were going.

She hasn't contacted anyone these days, thinking that it's never good to have her training disturbed. No matter how strong her own abilities are, it's also very important to get used to working with the new team.

But with only two days left before her performance, she, an outsider, was starting to feel a little nervous.

After all, this is Pei Yan's chance to turn things around, so it has to be a resounding success.

I didn't receive a reply until I woke up from my afternoon nap after sending the message.

[A sure win.]

Your money won't be wasted.

These two simple sentences, however, reveal a sharp edge.

Only Pei Yan would dare to say such a thing.

Shen Zhaoyi felt much relieved. "Alright, I'll wait and see."

In the afternoon, Jiang Ye sent a message on Douyin saying that the package had been sent out. He knew she probably didn't need it, but he still packed a lot of popular snacks.

"Then you're at a loss?"

[Sigh, enough of that. If you enjoy the food, consider it free advertising for me!]

Jiang Ye had his own plans. Even though this woman refused to give him anything, he couldn't really refuse.

The handling of interpersonal relationships and social interactions is spot on.

……

The day before the competition, Shen Zhaoyi suddenly received a friend request on WeChat.

The name is so cringeworthy, I initially thought someone had added it by mistake, but then I checked the notes—

“Sister-in-law, it’s me, Qiu Ze.”

Why did this child suddenly contact me?
After agreeing, just a few seconds later, the other party sent a voice message complaining: "Sister-in-law, you have no idea how outrageous my brother is!"

The boy's voice was full of grievance.

"I begged him to add you on WeChat, I begged him for a whole week, a whole week!"

"They simply won't give it to me!"

Shen Zhaoyi typed with amusement, "So now, he's given in?"

"What? It has nothing to do with him. I found your phone number in the car dealership's transaction records myself!"

It seems your company needs to improve its customer privacy practices.

Originally, it was just a casual remark, and Shen Zhaoyi didn't mean to punish him, but Qiu Ze immediately changed his attitude and began to admit his mistake.

He was truly at his wit's end.

"Sister-in-law, I promise, this is just this once. I really couldn't wait any longer, so I resorted to this..."

They are flexible and adaptable.

Shen Zhaoyi asked him what he wanted to see her about.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ze immediately perked up.

"Sister-in-law, my brother has a match tomorrow, and you'll definitely be there. Could you please do a live broadcast for me?"

Shen Zhaoyi was surprised.

Given the relationship between the two brothers, this should be considered Pei Yan's comeback match, and he shouldn't have missed it.

"Why didn't you come yourself?" she asked.

In the voice message, Qiu Ze's voice was noticeably lower, "...I've been punished."

Shen Zhaoyi thought it was because his family was strict.

But it's not.

It's less about being sanctioned and more about not daring to.

Because Qiuyu, for some reason, said he also wanted to go to the scene.

Once discovered, he can forget about ever having any contact with Pei Yan again.

In Qiu Ze's heart, the fear of his own brother outweighed his support for his "cousin." Seeing that Shen Zhaoyi didn't reply, he immediately began to frantically plead and act cute:
"Sister-in-law, please!"

"I'll just shoot a few videos, I'll treat you to dinner when I get back!"

"No, I'll treat you to a month's worth of meals!"

The sentence above is almost identical to Pei Yan's.

Sometimes Shen Zhaoyi even wondered if the two of them were actually brothers.

However, it wasn't something too difficult to do, so he agreed.

She refused the meal.

After eating out for a month straight, Xu Meng is starting to worry about whether she'll be fired.

The tournament venue is a bit far from the villa area.

Although she got up very early the next day, by the time Shen Zhaoyi and her people arrived, the audience seats were almost full.

"So many people?" Xu Meng stood on tiptoe to look around.

Shen Zhaoyi hadn't expected this; she thought that this type of competition wouldn't have many viewers in China.

As I walked in, I could hear the conversations of the people around me.

"Is Pei Yan really here today?"

"Probably. The convoy has already released the information, so it can't be false."

"Hey, I heard they rented the parking spaces themselves, and there weren't even any sponsors..."

"No way, who would want someone who fixes matches?"

……

Shen Zhaoyi paused in her steps.

It turns out that all these people came because of Pei Yan's fame.

Xu Meng didn't notice any of this. Following the seating instructions, she excitedly pulled her forward.

"Zhaoyi, we're here!"

Pei Yan gave us tickets for the inner grandstand, which faced the starting line of the track and offered excellent views.

As the two of them sat down, a gaze fell on Shen Zhaoyi from behind.

Qiu Yu raised his sunglasses in disbelief, trying to see more clearly. It was indeed the beauty he had seen last time, and she looked even more vivid up close.

only--

He instinctively looked around.

Could it be that Akizawa came along too?
Shen Zhaoyi naturally noticed that a gaze was subtly sweeping over her.

She turned around instinctively.

Sitting in the back row was a man in a floral shirt, with large sunglasses covering half his face and a mask hanging from his ear, exuding a strong air of ostentation.

I don't remember you, I don't know you.

The music in the room suddenly started, drawing her attention back.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the Asian Formula Championship – S City Round!" (For plot purposes, true racing fans please be gentle.)
As the host shouted, more than a dozen race cars roared onto the track.

Shen Zhaoyi doesn't know much about racing.

The only two times were in Pei Yan's live stream.

Seeing it in person now, the sense of oppression is overwhelming.

As the participating teams and their members are introduced, the captured footage is projected onto the large screen.

When it was Pei Yan's turn, a commotion erupted in the audience.

Shen Zhaoyi knew without even listening that there was nothing nice to say.

She took out her phone and started recording a video, intending to send it to Qiu Ze later.

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, a pure black race car slowly came into view.

There were no sponsor logos on the car body, only a scarlet flame pattern on the hood, arrogant yet isolated.

Seemingly sensing something, Pei Yan, wearing a helmet and matching motorcycle gear, made a gesture towards the stands.

small theater:
When Qiu Ze returned home, he saw Qiu Yu's secretary pushing luggage.

"Brother, are you going on a business trip?"

Qiu Yu: "Yeah, there's a car race in S City that invited car dealerships to come and watch. You better behave yourself these next couple of days."

Qiu Ze thought to himself: This is bad!

Telling him will affect Pei Yan's mood; not telling him will affect her own brother's mood...

Wait, it seems I can't go to the event myself!!! (Erkang gestures)
