Chapter 17 Sheng Yiguang Didn’t Want Pei Du to Hate Him, Didn’t Want Pei Du to Suffer

Pei Du’s face turned cold, each word distinct.

“Sheng, Yi, Guang.”

Sheng Yiguang took a deep breath, turned around, “General Manager Pei arrived just in time, you can be a witness. General Manager Pei and I are just classmates and superior-subordinate relationship, nothing else. General Manager Pei, am I right?”

Pei Du didn’t deny it, but his dark gaze was fixed on Sheng Yiguang, unwavering.

He looked dangerous.

Wen Heng quickly said, “Okay, I understand. Well, I think you guys probably have something to talk about, so I’ll leave first.”

After speaking, he abandoned the two and quickly ran away.

Pei Du’s voice was low and cold, “This classmate, would you mind moving to talk to your superior?”

“…”

What was coming couldn’t be avoided.

Sheng Yiguang followed Pei Du to the stairwell.

The heavy door closed, isolating a quiet space.

Pei Du restrained himself slightly before speaking.

“He said he likes me, not that he hates me. You told him that. Aren’t you afraid he’ll compete with you?”

“That’s good, you two are a good match.”

Pei Du paused slightly, suspecting he had misheard.

He looked at Sheng Yiguang for a while, took a deep breath, and explained slowly.

“Did someone say something to you? His family has some connection with my family, so I had to come here today as a formality. The gift was prepared by the secretary. If I hadn’t seen you, I would have already left. I have no feelings for him.”

“bb, don’t overthink it, I won’t pay attention to him anymore, okay?”

Sheng Yiguang didn’t expect Pei Du to think he was being jealous and saying angry words, and even patiently explained to him.

A fire seemed to be burning inside his chest.

Burning his heart hot, but also burning it painfully.

“You misunderstood. I sincerely think you two are a good match. You don’t have to ignore him because of me. I never thought about being with you.”

Never thought about it?

Pei Du felt as if he had fallen into a cold pond, his voice hoarse.

“Why? Aren’t we getting better?”

“That’s because you’ve helped me a lot. In my eyes, you’re just a classmate I’m relatively close to.”

It would have been better if he hadn’t said that. Saying that stepped on Pei Du’s landmine.

“Classmate?!”

Pei Du’s face completely cooled down. He grabbed his wrist and forced him against the wall.

“Kissed, slept together, dated, that kind of relationship is called classmate?!”

Sheng Yiguang’s pupils shrank suddenly, a little scared.

“That was in the past.”

“Then let’s talk about recently. Which classmate is like you, leaning into my arms again and again? Hugging, embracing, and touching?”

Sheng Yiguang was tongue-tied.

“Which classmate is like you, pressing me against the wall for a forced kiss that I can’t push away?”

“Which classmate is like you, insisting that I strip naked for you to see?”

“Which classmate is like us?”

“Being so close, and even…”

Pei Du touched Sheng Yiguang’s lower abdomen, his voice low and slow, sounding tender yet dangerous.

“Been inside here?”

Sheng Yiguang’s long eyelashes trembled violently, his face burning red.

He composed himself and spoke with a cold and heartless voice.

“What you’re talking about was all when I was drunk. When I’m sober, I’ve never agreed to anything. Two people who are only close when drunk are not lovers.”

“If you insist on a precise term to describe it…”

“One-night stand, are you satisfied?”

Pei Du froze in place, feeling as if a large hole had been opened in his chest.

Cold wind poured in, causing a sharp pain.

After a long while, he seemed to regain control of his body, slowly straightening up, and laughing softly, sounding very bitter.

“You’re right.”

“From the reunion until now, you’ve been rejecting me, thinking that being strangers is better than getting close to me. It’s always been me being sentimental and wishful thinking.”

“In your eyes, I’m being cheap.”

Pei Du withdrew and left.

He had only taken one step when his wrist was grabbed.

A very light force, but it kept him in place.

Pei Du looked back, looking at Sheng Yiguang holding his hand.

As if he was in great pain, his voice lacked strength, but his eyes glowed slightly.

“What are you doing now?”

Sheng Yiguang’s lips moved for a long time.

He shouldn’t have stopped him.

As long as he didn’t stop him, this time it would be completely over.

Pei Du would, without interference, walk towards his destined partner, towards the pinnacle of his life.

Sheng Yiguang didn’t want Pei Du to be annoyed, didn’t want Pei Du to suffer.

He slowly let go of his hand, finding an explanation for his behavior.

“I think it was probably the tie clip that made you misunderstand. I gave it to you to thank you for your care during this time, nothing else.”

–

Pei’s Chuanghe Group headquarters, high-level conference room, board of directors.

Among a group of beer bellies, Pei Du stood out.

Several directors were launching an attack on Pei Du’s inexplicable acquisition of an insignificant cultural and creative company.

Several observing veterans thought.

It started again.

Ever since four years ago, Old Man Pei welcomed back his grandson and publicly announced that Pei Du would inherit the family business in the future.

Those few directors always found fault.

Sometimes Little Pei could take a step back and apologize, but he was arrogant and sharp-tongued. Even if he was wrong, he could confidently anger people to death.

In four years, the verbal battles between the two sides gradually escalated.

The drama of the four gangs besieging Little Pei never failed to attend and had become a regular item on the board of directors.

Today, the situation seemed a little different.

Little Pei sat in his chair, unusually silent.

The three assistants standing behind Pei Du lowered their voices and asked the secretary who had followed Pei Du to the acquisition.

“Wasn’t General Manager Pei quite happy before?”

The secretary pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, “Before, General Manager Pei was happy because he found out that the child of the man he likes was not born by him and another woman, so he was relatively happy.”

????????

Chinese?

“What about now?”

“I guess Madam made General Manager Pei angry again. It’s okay, give him a few days and General Manager Pei will take action.”

“Punish Madam?”

“Make himself feel better.”

????????

Human language?

Several directors were still making things difficult.

“Pei Du, don’t think that this matter is over just because you don’t speak! If everyone acquired companies like you, Chuanghe would definitely go bankrupt!”

“I say, sell that company now!”

Pei Du slowly raised his eyes.

“Finished farting?”

The secretary and three assistants behind him silently retreated.

Pei Du: “From the last quarter to now, the revenue of the projects under your control has been negative. You have always been successful in failure. I don’t quite understand how you can be embarrassed to talk about me?”

Pei Du: “Got it, you have a thick skin, so you can throw your face out once, then again, then again in public.”

The conference room was silent.

Old Man Pei coughed softly, “Pei Du, that’s enough.”

Pei Du chuckled, “How could I? Uncles and elders, you have a heart as wide as the sea. You can make a comeback in a few days, become more courageous as you fight, and become more defeated as you fail. I think you are quite happy, after all, there are not many opportunities to work and practice your mouths.”

Pei Du: “Putting aside everything else, I want to say thank you for this. It’s not too much, right?”

The conference room was quiet for a moment, then suddenly erupted, almost turning into a fight.

When leaving the conference room, the three assistants felt like they had been splattered with blood.

Little Pei was bloodthirsty today.

The group just went out and met Wen Heng and Du Chao.

Wen Heng hurriedly said, “Brother Pei! I heard that you and Sheng Yiguang had a fight. Is it because of me? I’m sorry, I’ll find a way to reconcile you!”

Pei Du ignored him and walked past.

Du Chao caught up, looking anxious, “Brother Pei, I heard about this. It’s not Little Wen’s fault, don’t ignore him.”

Pei Du didn’t stop, his voice cold.

“Drive them away.”

The three assistants stopped and blocked the two.

“Please leave.”

The secretary followed to the office and put down the IPad.

“General Manager Pei, tomorrow is Sheng Tong’s consultation day.”

Pei Du lowered his eyes, “Let Aunt Tao go.”

“Yes.”
