Chapter 247 A Two-Pronged Approach
Chen Zhi's palms were sweaty.
Zhang Yiming was still smiling as he waited for his reply.
Pei Ningxue leaned back in her chair, crossed her legs, and gently tapped the notebook cover with the tip of her pen.
"President Chen?" Zhang Yiming urged when he saw that Chen didn't respond.
"Go, we must go."
This wasn't said by Chen Zhi.
Pei Ningxue answered for him.
She stood up and smiled politely at Zhang Yiming: "How could I not give Mr. Zhang face? Mr. Chen just told me that he has always wanted to meet Ms. Lin Wanwan in person."
Chen Zhi almost bit his tongue.
When did I say such a thing?
Zhang Yiming, unaware of the hidden danger behind those words, nodded happily: "That's great. I'll have my assistant reserve a private room for 7 PM tonight."
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhang." Pei Ningxue politely saw him to the elevator.
Chen Zhi followed behind, feeling as if he were dying.
The moment the elevator doors closed, Pei Ningxue turned around.
Only the two of them remained in the corridor.
"President Pei..." Chen Zhi called out tentatively.
Pei Ningxue didn't respond.
She walked up to Chen Zhi, raised her chin, and looked at him.
"What's there to be nervous about?"
"Am I nervous? I'm not nervous at all." Chen Zhi straightened his back.
Your left index finger is shaking.
Chen Zhi quickly put his hands into his pockets.
Pei Ningxue sneered and turned to walk towards her office.
"President Pei, you don't need to go tonight. This kind of social event..." Chen Zhi quickly chased after him, trying to make a last-ditch effort.
"Why wouldn't I go?" Pei Ningxue asked without turning her head. "I'm the CFO of Deep Space Technology, and Musical Notes is an important partner of ours. Is there a problem with me attending a business dinner?"
Chen Zhi had nothing to say.
That's true, but he knew that this woman was definitely after Lin Wanwan.
Chen Zhi decided to act like a rogue and leaned against the door frame.
"Since you're going, then I won't go."
He had already decided that if Pei Ningxue insisted on going, he would arrange for Lin Wanwan to meet elsewhere so that the two of them wouldn't see each other. If he couldn't afford to offend her, he could at least avoid her.
Chen Zhi thought Pei Ningxue would be angry.
Pei Ningxue didn't even look up. She flipped open the documents on the table and casually said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go."
Chen Zhi was stunned.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
Given Pei Ningxue's personality, how could she possibly let him off so easily? This woman must be plotting something wicked.
But he was out of options. He had to lure Lin Wanwan away tonight and absolutely could not let her attend this business dinner.
Chen Zhi retreated to his office, locked the door, and quickly sent a message to Su Man on his phone.
"Sister Su, does Lin Wanwan have a dinner party tonight? With the person from 'Musical Notes'?"
The reply came almost instantly.
"You're quite well-informed. Zhang Yiming personally organized this meeting to discuss the whole series of screen endorsements."
"Is Lin Wanwan going?"
"Don't worry." Su Man sent a long voice message. "I wouldn't want Wanwan to attend these messy drinking parties. The entertainment industry's dinner parties are very murky. She just won the championship and is at the peak of her popularity. If she gets photographed doing something she shouldn't, or if she encounters some investors with dirty hands, that would be a big problem. I usually handle these kinds of occasions myself. Wanwan can just rest at the hotel."
After listening to the voice message, Chen Zhi let out a long sigh of relief.
It turned out to be a false alarm.
Su Man thought Chen Zhi was worried that Lin Wanwan would encounter unspoken rules, so she gave a long explanation. Little did she know that Chen Zhi wasn't guarding against any unspoken rules at all, but rather against a chaotic situation.
Since Lin Wanwan isn't going, this chaotic situation has been fundamentally resolved.
Chen Zhi felt like he had come back to life.
Once out of immediate danger, Chen Zhi's inherent talent for selling swords began to stir.
He opened Pei Ningxue's WeChat chat window.
"After thinking it over, it's really not good to let you face that old fox Zhang Yiming alone. Call me 'good brother,' and I'll go with you."
Ten seconds later, the screen lit up.
Pei Ningxue: "Get lost."
However, although Chen Zhi knew that Pei Ningxue was definitely up to something, he decided to take double precautions just to be on the safe side.
Invite Lin Wanwan out for a date.
As long as Lin Wanwan is by his side, even if the sky falls, she will never appear at Zhang Yiming's dinner party.
Chen Zhi switched chat windows and opened the pinned chat box.
"I'll take you out for a nice meal tonight to celebrate landing this big endorsement deal."
……
In a suite of a five-star hotel near Wangfujing.
"Ahhhhh!"
Lin Wanwan rolled around on the sofa twice, clutching her phone, her face beaming with an unconcealable silly grin.
Poor Lin Wanwan thought Chen Zhi missed her and specially canceled his work to be with her.
"Sister Su! Sister Su!" Lin Wanwan jumped off the sofa barefoot and rushed into the dressing room.
Su Man was sitting at the bar outside, touching up her lipstick in front of the mirror, preparing for dinner that evening. Hearing the noise, she reluctantly put down her lipstick.
"What's wrong now, my little darling?"
"Chen Zhi is taking me out to dinner tonight!" Lin Wanwan took out several dresses from her suitcase and held them up in front of her. "Sister Su, which one do you think looks best on me? Is this white one too plain? Is this red one too flashy?"
Su Man couldn't help but sigh.
"He'd think you looked good even in a burlap sack." Su Man walked over and put the red dress back. "It'll get colder tonight, so wear something warm. Also, make sure you wear your mask and hat properly."
"Okay!" Lin Wanwan picked out a fitted white dress that showed off her figure without being too cold.
Su Man shook her head as she looked at her love-struck state.
"I'm meeting with a senior executive at Musical Notes tonight to discuss the details of your endorsement. Be careful out there and don't get photographed by paparazzi," Su Man instructed. "Chen Zhi is a big spender now. If you can win him over, it'll be more effective than ten endorsements."
Lin Wanwan pouted: "I'm not after his money."
"Yes, yes, you two are true love." Su Man was too lazy to argue with her. "Go on, have fun, and go back to the hotel early tonight."
……
It's 6:30 p.m.
Chen Zhi arrived early at a high-end private restaurant near Wangfujing.
This place is called "Yunyin," hidden in an inconspicuous alley. It has no signboard and only caters to regular customers. Most importantly, it offers excellent privacy. Each private room has its own entrance and exit, so you'll never run into paparazzi or acquaintances.
Chen Zhi sat in the private room, poured himself a cup of tea, and pondered his actions for the day.
It's absolutely flawless.
Pei Ningxue went to Zhang Yiming's gathering, while Lin Wanwan was firmly tied to her side. They were two parallel lines that would never intersect in this lifetime.
"I'm a fucking genius." Chen Zhi picked up his teacup, took a sip, and couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up.
The door to the private room was gently pushed open.
Lin Wanwan rushed over like a gust of wind.
"husband!"
Lin Wanwan took off her hat and mask, revealing her exquisitely flawless face, her eyes sparkling as she looked at him.
"Did you miss me?"
Chen Zhishun put his arm around her waist and lightly brushed her nose.
"I think about it, I think about it every day."
"Liar." Lin Wanwan wrinkled her nose. "You've been replying to WeChat messages so slowly these past few days. Has some pretty female intern joined the company and stolen your heart?"
Chen Zhi's heart skipped a beat.
What kind of radar system is this woman's intuition? A female intern actually came this morning, and she's Li Zhiyi's classmate.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Zhi said without batting an eye, casually picking up a piece of pastry that had just been served and stuffing it into Lin Wanwan's mouth. "I've been busy these past few days negotiating a collaboration with Fuyin Tiaodong, the company that wants to sign you as their spokesperson. I even added some investment to give you a higher endorsement fee."
Lin Wanwan chewed on a snack and mumbled, "I knew my husband was the best to me."
The two cuddled together in the private room for a while, and the atmosphere was just right.
Chen Zhi looked at Lin Wanwan's flushed face and was about to lean over to ask for some "interest".
