My ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my sister, and I got married to him in a flash; he went crazy.

After sending these two messages, Jiang Shutong put down her phone.

She wanted to wait and see how Pei Yichen would respond.

If he's still willing to offer her a few words of comfort, it means he's not really angry with her anymore, and he might even go out to dinner with her tonight.

If you don't reply to her at all, then there's probably no hope.

However, after the message was sent out, it disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Shutong grew increasingly uneasy. She had already boasted, and she wasn't really going to have to invite her good-for-nothing brother to dinner tonight, was she?

Jiang Shutong didn't receive Pei Yichen's reply until noon.

Pei Yichen: [Do you work at Zhitou?]

Jiang Shutong: [Yeah, how did you know?]

Isn't he a programmer at Boyu? How does he know about GG Company?

Pei Yichen: [I heard from a colleague that your company is in charge of the marketing and promotion for one of our new products.]

He then objectively commented: "That proposal was very well done. Even if you have a past conflict with the other party, you shouldn't deny her abilities."

Jiang Shutong: ...

She wanted to curse.

She knew exactly what Bai Ruwei was capable of; every time she made a proposal, it was all fancy and flashy, but completely impractical.

But thinking about the purpose of her message to Pei Yichen, she controlled the urge to curse and got straight to the point.

Jiang Shutong: [My arch-rival colleague said he's treating us to dinner tonight, and family members are welcome. Could you come with me?]

Pei Yichen glanced at tonight's schedule.

He had a business dinner tonight, so he replied directly: "I'm not free tonight."

Although she had predicted this outcome, Jiang Shutong still felt disheartened.

She said unwillingly, "But our prenuptial agreement states that we are both obligated to pretend to be a loving couple in front of each other's relatives and friends..."

Actually, Pei Yichen was still angry with her, and she didn't want to bring this up.

But if she can't bring Pei Yichen to show his face tonight, she'll be forced to pay the bill.

The average cost per person at Hemingxuan is over a thousand yuan, and there are more than a dozen people in the department.

She simply couldn't afford it.

Pei Yichen reminded her, "The first time I asked you to meet my parents, you also refused."

The man's eyes grew colder when he thought about how Jiang Shutong had gone to have dinner with her ex-boyfriend's parents, and how she had gone to the police station to plead guilty to her ex-boyfriend's crimes.

Speaking of this, Jiang Shutong felt a little guilty. "I... I had something to do that time, but afterwards I was really eager to meet your parents, weren't I..."

Pei Yichen: [I also have something to do tonight.]

Tonight's social engagement is very important; he can't just cancel it.

Jiang Shutong instantly wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

She didn't know if Pei Yichen really had something to do, or if he was just making excuses because he was angry with her.

But the result is the same—she's going to die tonight.

-

in the afternoon.

Planning Department Manager's Office.

The blinds were all pulled down.

Sun Yuanjing's calloused hands caressed the woman's long legs clad in black stockings in his arms. His gaze lingered greedily on her snow-white breasts, and he said in a lewd tone, "You've completely secured the Boyu project. How are you going to repay me?"

Bai Ruwei lightly slapped his hand and said coquettishly, "You're so annoying."

She raised her hand and gently hooked the man's tie. "How about I repay you properly tonight? I'm treating my colleagues to dinner, and you can come too, and then we..."

Bai Ruwei had her own little scheme: by bringing Sun Yuanjing along, she could make him pay the bill later.

She then decided to spend the night with him.

Sun Yuanjing replied, "No, it's my son's birthday tonight, I have to go back and celebrate with him."

As he spoke, he pinched the woman's buttocks twice more, his voice impatient as he said, "Now, I can't wait."

Bai Ruwei was startled. "No, someone will come in soon."

"What are you afraid of? It's not like we haven't done it during work hours before...isn't that more exciting..."

Everyone in the department had been severely disciplined by him, and they had to knock before entering his office.

The last person who didn't knock has already had half a month's bonus deducted as a warning to others.

Sun Yuanjing did this so that he could easily seek excitement in the office anytime, anywhere.

With the arrow already on the bowstring, there was no turning back. As he spoke, Sun Yuanjing pulled down his zipper.

Just as we were getting ready to get to the point, an untimely knock sounded at the door.

Bai Ruwei hurriedly pulled down her skirt, straightened her disheveled clothes, and got up from Sun Yuanjing.

Disturbed from his good time, a flash of anger crossed Sun Yuanjing's eyes. He impatiently fastened his belt and said loudly, "Come in!"

The secretary pushed open the door and came in. She glanced at Bai Ruwei, whose face was flushed, and Sun Yuanjing, who looked unsatisfied. She was already used to it.

She lowered her head, pretending not to know anything. "Manager Sun, people from the Wen Group have come over and say they want to discuss cooperation with us."

Sun Yuanjing's face, which had been filled with anger, froze. "What did you say? The Wen Group?"

"Yes, Manager Sun, they have been arranged to wait in the conference room."

Sun Yuanjing: "Bring me tea, I'll be right there."

The secretary responded and left.

The idyllic thoughts in Sun Yuanjing's eyes vanished without a trace, replaced only by the excitement of the project's arrival.

It seems that after Boyu Group secured the order, their company's reputation has indeed increased, and even Wens Group has come knocking on their door.

Bai Ruwei was also delighted to hear about the Wen Group's project. She said sweetly, "Manager Sun, let me handle the Wen Group's order. Maybe they're only interested in Boyu's project proposal. I'm the person in charge of Boyu's proposal; they should feel comfortable entrusting the project to me..."

Sun Yuanjing thought it made sense. "Okay, then come with me to the conference room."

-

Inside the meeting room.

Wen Luoyao sat next to Wen Shiyan, feeling a little excited at the thought of meeting her rival in love.

"Brother, who exactly is this Jiang Shutong? How could she get Brother Yichen to marry her?"

Wen Shiyan: "You'll find out soon enough, but you're not allowed to act up later..."

"I understand, I won't do anything reckless."

Wen Luoyao was getting restless.

Finally, the conference room door was opened, and Sun Yuanjing walked in with several people.

He approached Wen Shiyan with a fawning smile and shook his hand. "Sorry to keep you waiting. I'm Sun Yuanjing, the planning manager at Zhitu. May I ask how I should address you?"

Wen Shiyan nodded slightly and politely extended his hand to shake hers. "Hello, I am Wen Shiyan."

Sun Yuanjing's pupils widened instantly. This was Wen Shiyan, the heir to the Wen Group?

They actually came to their tiny GG planning company in person to discuss cooperation?

I am truly flattered.

Sun Yuanjing smiled obsequiously, "It's an honor to have the opportunity to discuss cooperation with your company, Mr. Wen! Please have a seat."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone sat down and began to get down to business.

Wen Shiyan briefly introduced their project requirements and then expressed his willingness to cooperate with Zhitu.

Sun Yuanjing smiled and said, "No problem."

He pointed to Bai Ruwei beside him and introduced her with a smile: "This is Bai Ruwei, a key member of our planning department. She was also in charge of Boyu's case last time. You can entrust your project to her."

Wen Shiyan glanced at her, then looked away. "I've heard that your company has an employee named Jiang Shutong. She has an excellent reputation in the industry. I've seen the events she's planned before, and I really liked them. I'm here mainly to collaborate with her."
