Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Take the Money
In this world, are there really any problems if they can be solved with money? Only his dearest Heyu, whose issues couldn’t be resolved with money no matter what, required him to offer his sincere heart to solve them.
But what greeted him was Shen Heyu’s even colder gaze, an icier look in her eyes, and a frosty sentence, “Not even an explanation given, just throwing money around, so typical of President Pei.”
Then, with a “bang,” Shen Heyu had closed the room door again.
Pei Yansi: “…”
Suddenly he felt somewhat disheartened, thinking: Shen Heyu, who hadn’t given him the slightest bit of trust, did she still have any feelings for him in her heart?
As this thought arose, he seemed to see an endless, vast ocean before him. He stood on one side, while Shen Heyu stood on the opposite shore, growing further and further away from him.
Watching Shen Heyu’s gradually fading figure, Pei Yansi shook his head hard. Impossible, absolutely impossible! He would never let Shen Heyu leave him, he would never allow such a thing to happen.
And those reporters, like flies smelling something foul, kept hounding him. Pei Yansi didn’t want to stand here any longer, to avoid causing any trouble for Shen Heyu. He brushed past the intrusive cameras and made his way with big strides toward the elevator.
However, as he brushed past Shen Jiangli, he saw the other man happily chuckling to himself against the wall. He stopped, pointed at Shen Jiangli and said to the reporters, “You can ask my partner whether I have affected the image of my company, and whether it has impacted our partnerships or the stock price. I believe he has witnessed the entire incident and wouldn’t mind answering your questions.”
After speaking, he extended his slender hand and firmly patted Shen Jiangli’s shoulder, smiling, “Partner, I’ll leave it to you.”
Shen Jiangli: “…”
He had a hundred curse words wanting to burst from his stomach, and ten thousand angry thoughts racing through his head.

But the image was important to Pei Yansi, and it was even more important to Shen Jiangli.
After taking a deep breath, he turned around with a rogueish smile, shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and addressed the reporters, “I’ve never thought that the personal emotional issues of a CEO would affect the company’s image. There’s no necessary connection between the two. Also, I just happened to pass by one second before you all, thanks.”
Shen Jiangli watched the brief look of surprise on the reporters’ faces and quickly followed up with an even more charming smile, “You’ve run so far, must be tired, right? Go downstairs and order something to eat, it’s on me.”
Saying this, he went to Shen Heyu’s door and politely knocked, then in a tone tinged with affection, he said, “Heyu? Hungry? Let’s go out for some seafood. I heard the ‘Ice Burst Sashimi’ here is pretty good.”
“Okay.”
Shen Jiangli heard the calm reply from inside, raised his eyebrows triumphantly. He knew that at this time, no matter what he asked Shen Heyu to do, she would not refuse.
Actually, Shen Jiangli’s intentions weren’t to do anything particularly unscrupulous; he just felt that at this moment, Shen Heyu must be feeling extremely stifled. It would be better to go out for a walk to clear her mind and to avoid any unpleasantness with Pei Yansi at this critical juncture. After all, the project was of utmost importance.
Certainly, deep down, he didn’t want Shen Heyu to be dragged onto the front page headlines with Pei Yansi. That would bring back the discomfort he felt at heart.
The gossip journalists looked at Pei Yansi, who had already walked far away, then at Shen Jiangli, and thought of Shen Heyu, Pei Yansi’s ex-wife mentioned by Shen Jiangli. Suddenly, they had a feeling: There’s too much to digest today.
But news about Shen Jiangli’s escapades was so abundant that it hardly piqued the audience’s interest anymore. So… a few glances were exchanged, and they continued to chase after Pei Yansi.
And that “whining” freak? Oh, who knows where he went. They had also forgotten to take a few more “innocent photos” of him. So, focusing on the major and ignoring the minor, they decided to go after Pei Yansi.
Pei Yansi just so happened to have stopped in his tracks. He heard Shen Jiangli replying to the journalists, heard Shen Jiangli inviting Shen Heyu out for gourmet food, and Pei Yansi found his legs just couldn’t lift no matter what.
He didn’t know if Shen Heyu would agree. But, based on his understanding of Shen Heyu, who liked to avoid trouble, she would definitely follow Shen Jiangli and leave this place of controversy first.
Yes, even Pei Yansi thought that issues that weren’t supposed to be issues had turned this into the kind of controversial place Shen Heyu hated the most.
Thus, when faced with the journalists who had “surrounded” him again, he squeezed out a word between his teeth, “Scram!” Then he said to Zhao Jin, “You know how to handle this, do it quickly!”
After speaking, he walked back in front of Shen Heyu’s door, casually stretched out his long leg, and pushed Shen Jiangli, the dandy, to the side.
Shen Jiangli stepped aside good-naturedly. It wasn’t that he couldn’t compete with Pei Yansi, but he didn’t want to, nor was it necessary. After all, he had no real interest in Shen Heyu, and certainly not compared to Pei Yansi’s possessive emotions, which were almost splashed across the sky with an airplane.
As Shen Heyu’s immediate boss, Shen Jiangli was still willing to consider his subordinate’s feelings. When emotions are in good shape, doesn’t work efficiency improve? Besides, he had never been accustomed to competing with anyone for a woman.
But Pei Yansi felt he had won the skirmish. That familiar sense of having everything under control returned to him instantly. This reassured his heart once again.
He straightened his chest, lifted his chin, adjusted his tie, stood with his hands behind his back, as if he were the ruler of all he surveyed, just waiting for Shen Heyu to open the door.
Shen Heyu opened the door.
She wore a knee-length pale pink dress cinched at the waist, with a white scarf loosely wrapped around her neck, making her appear knowledgeable, gentle, and so stunning that one couldn’t avert their eyes. Even though her expression was still serene, even a bit cold, it created an intense contrast with the temperament she exhibited, and was…
More… mesmerizing.
Pei Yansi felt his lower body tighten, his heart racing. He stepped forward and pushed Shen Heyu—who showed a bit of surprise and even more coldness upon seeing him—back into the room.
Then he used his heel to close the door, wrapped his arms around Shen Heyu’s waist forcefully, spun her around, and pinned her against the corner of the wall.
Shen Heyu’s face completely fell, “Pei Yansi, what kind of madness is this again?”
