Xia Yichu woke up at a little after four o'clock. She found that she had been sleeping a lot lately. She originally wanted to sleep for an hour or two, but ended up sleeping for more than three hours.

"Xiao Chu, are you hungry? Come and eat."

Pei Shizhou had just finished cooking rice; he always cooks rice in advance. Then he waits for Xia Yichu to wake up on her own. In the past, when Xia Yichu woke up late, Pei Shizhou could just reheat the food. Today, Xia Yichu woke up at just the right time.

"Shizhou, has Xiao Wangshu's movie been released yet?"

More than eating, Xia Yichu wanted to know about this matter.

"The movie has been released, and in three days, the total box office nationwide has exceeded five million. Today is the fifth day of its release."

Xia Yichu had just gone to sleep when Xu Shaoyang called. This time, Pei Shizhou asked particularly detailed questions because he knew Xia Yichu had also invested in the film.

"Really? That's great!"

In an era where movie tickets cost only twenty or thirty yuan, a box office of five million yuan in three days is considered a huge success. And that's just for the first three days; the box office will only keep rising.

"Xiao Chu, don't get excited. Let's eat first, and then we'll buy tickets to see a movie later."

Pei Shizhou remarked that Xia Yichu was incredibly lucky; the land she bought while she was in university appreciated in value shortly after, allowing her to make a considerable profit.

The same goes for the houses in Jingyi Garden. Now, their first investment in a movie has become a huge hit. Pei Shizhou has only ever seen such luck in her.

"No, Shi Zhou, I want to go to the port city."

"Okay, go eat. I'll call someone to buy us plane tickets. We'll fly to Shenzhen first, stay overnight, and then head to Hong Kong tomorrow morning."

Xia Yichu thought Pei Shizhou would object and not let her go to Hong Kong, after all, she was pregnant! She had wanted to go to Hong Kong a month ago, but everyone objected, including Pei Shizhou.

If Pei Shizhou agreed, that would be great; if not, she wanted to sneak off to Hong Kong. How could she be absent from such an important day!

"Okay, go make the call now, I'll eat right away."

Pei Shizhou didn't waste any more time. After finishing the call, he went to his room and packed two sets of clothes for him and Xia Yichu. Then, he quickly ate a few bites of food and drove Xia Yichu straight to the airport.

Li Zhizhong bought the plane tickets and waited for them at the airport entrance. He listened to Pei Shizhou and started taking the driving test after returning from Pei Feng's hometown. He had already gotten his license half a month ago.

He now works under Xie Zekai. Xie Zekai said that President Pei asked him to come to the airport to buy him a plane ticket, and he also needs to drive President Pei's car back later.

He is now considered one of Pei Shizhou's assistants. Just thinking about how President Pei called Xie Zekai and specifically asked him to help buy plane tickets.

Li Zhizhong was very excited, he didn't expect President Pei to still remember him. He stood at the airport entrance looking around, afraid that he might miss Pei Shizhou.

He was indeed very quick-witted; he recognized Pei Shizhou's car from afar. When he drove up and stopped, he saw a young and very beautiful woman sitting in the passenger seat.

I guess this must be President Pei's wife. I heard that Mrs. Pei is the woman President Pei loves most. There's someone in Pengcheng who took care of Mrs. Pei for three years when she was in college.

In just three years, he became the head of Pengcheng Company. President Pei valued him highly, and it was said that he was also a favorite of his wife.

Li Zhizhong's foot, which had been walking towards the driver's seat, turned and headed towards the passenger side. With a broad smile, he opened the passenger door with one hand and carefully placed the other on the roof.

He was very tactful in his actions, maintaining a good distance from Xia Yichu and not daring to look at her inappropriately.

He didn't know Xia Yichu was pregnant because she wasn't even three months along. Only Gu Yunting and the others knew; no one else knew, not even Xie Zekai, her assistant.

"Madam, please get out of the car. Be careful of your head."

"Okay, thank you."

After thanking him, Xia Yichu got out of the car. She didn't recognize the man in front of her, but she knew that he was the person Pei Shizhou had asked to buy their plane tickets.

As soon as Xia Yichu got out of the car, Pei Shizhou walked over and handed the car keys to Li Zhizhong, then took Xia Yichu's hand. Before Pei Shizhou could speak, Li Zhizhong took the car keys, opened the trunk, and took out Pei Shizhou's and Xia Yichu's luggage.

He walked over to Pei Shizhou and said, "Mr. Pei, Madam, the plane will take off in half an hour."

"Okay, Xiao Chu, let's go inside and wait."

Li Zhizhong followed behind with the luggage, thinking to himself that President Pei truly loved Mrs. Pei.

Even though there weren't many people at the airport, he kept protecting Xia Yichu, worried that others might bump into her.

"Come on, Xiao Chu, sit here and wait."

"it is good"

"Give me your luggage, you can go back first. You can drive the car to the company now or drive it home, and then drive it to the company tomorrow. You can give the keys to Assistant Xie or General Manager Gu."

"President Pei, I'll drive the car back to the company now. I know President Gu lives near the company, so I'll give him the car keys when I get back."

Don't worry, I promise I'll drive slowly and won't let the car get bumped or scratched.

Holding the keys, Li Zhizhong said anxiously, "Today is Sunday, and no one is working overtime except for the security guard company."

He had delivered things to Gu Yunting before and knew where he lived. As for Pei Shizhou's suggestion that he could drive the car home, he hadn't even considered it.

He wouldn't dare drive a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan home. If he were to bump or scratch it, he couldn't afford to pay for the damage even if he sold himself.

Pei Shizhou frowned and said, "Don't you have a driver's license? Are you afraid to drive? If you're afraid, leave the car near the airport and have someone else pick it up tomorrow."

Li Zhizhong realized that Pei Shizhou had misunderstood, so he immediately said, "President Pei, I can drive it, I'm capable of driving it."

"Okay, then be careful and stay safe."

Pei Shizhou rarely gave such a word of advice, and Li Zhizhong was very excited. When President Pei and his wife were together, he became much more gentle and considerate.

"Alright, Mr. Pei, Madam, I'll head back now."

Shortly after Li Zhizhong left, Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou also boarded the plane.

It was already past 11 a.m. when they arrived in Shenzhen. They hailed a taxi at the airport and checked into a hotel. Xia Yichu didn't tell Xu Shaoyang about their trip to Shenzhen.

The next morning, Pei Shizhou called Song Qihang from the hotel and asked him to drive over. By the time Xia Yichu got up, Song Qihang had already left for quite some time.

"Xiao Chu, let's have breakfast first, and then we'll go to Gangcheng."

"it is good"

Now that they've arrived in Shenzhen, Xia Yichu isn't in a hurry. She and Pei Shizhou have breakfast at the hotel.

Halfway through breakfast, Xia Yichu suddenly remembered that she hadn't told her family about her trip to Gangcheng.

"Shizhou, I'll go make a call and tell my uncle and aunt."

I didn't tell them before coming last night because I was worried they would object and not let me come to Hong Kong. She's in Shenzhen now, and I can't exactly call her back.

"Xiao Chu, I called home this morning when I got up."

Pei Shizhou knew Xia Yichu's thoughts, so he waited until he got up in the morning to call back.

"Oh, did my uncle and his family say anything about me?"

Xia Yichu stopped eating and looked at Pei Shizhou.

"No, he told me to take good care of you."

Pei Shizhou only told half of the story. Although Lin Weidong did not scold Xia Yichu, he did say something to her, saying that she was pregnant and still causing trouble.

"That's good"

Hearing this, Xia Yichu ate her meal without any qualms. Meanwhile, in Kyoto, Lin Weidong was furious. After hanging up the phone, he berated Xia Guoan, saying he was incompetent for getting Xia Yichu pregnant and then having to work to earn money for baby formula.

Xia Guoan had nowhere to seek justice and dared not speak. He could only blame Pei Shizhou in his heart, blaming him for taking Xiao Chu away, and thinking about scolding him when he came back.
