Chapter 421: Chapter 421: You Are Not Allowed to Start Chaos and End It

At this moment, Qiao Xiang felt a profound loneliness, all her good friends had sided with Qiao Rui.

She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and began to work.

He Zheng knocked on the door and went inside to see Pei Liyan with his head down, his face was quite stern, instinctively told He Zheng, Pei Liyan was in a bad mood this morning.

Years of mutual understanding as close brothers made him see it at a glance, so he smiled and said, "You look like you’ve just been angry, what’s wrong, who made you upset?"

Only then did Pei Liyan raise his head, and upon seeing He Zheng, he leaned back, adopting a lazy posture.

"What are you here for?"

"With so much happening lately, of course, I’m here to check on you." He Zheng said, "The whole Qingcheng Business District has been shaken by the actions of my sister-in-law and the Lin Family."

Pei Liyan remained silent, sizing up He Zheng.

He Zheng said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Your purpose for visiting today isn’t just to talk about Qiao Rui and the Lin Family, right?"

Being longtime brothers, naturally, they have a special connection.

He Zheng chuckled and said, "I’m here to tell you something serious."

"What serious matter?" Pei Liyan said with a smile.

"I’m planning to pursue your secretary." He Zheng said, "As longtime brothers, if I don’t tell you, it wouldn’t be right."

"Si Ran?" Pei Liyan was taken aback.

He Zheng nodded. "Yes."

Pei Liyan wasn’t surprised, anyway, He Zheng had always been special towards Si Ran.

"How much do you know about Si Ran?" Pei Liyan asked back.

"She’s an exceptional girl." He Zheng said.

"Her father is a university professor, her mother is a university doctor." Pei Liyan said, "Although she’s not from the business district lineage, she’s from a scholarly family. But the standards your family has for choosing a wife, Si Ran might not meet them yet."

He Zheng raised an eyebrow, "Sounds like you’re saying I’m not serious."

"Whether you’re serious, only you should know." Pei Liyan said, "But I won’t allow you to mess with my subordinate."

"Come on, you’re making me sound like a jerk!" He Zheng said, "I am a deeply devoted, passionate young man!"

"Ha!" Pei Liyan burst out laughing, "Do you even believe yourself?"

"See, you don’t believe it." He Zheng laughed, "Seems like I’ve successfully played the playboy over these years."

"Don’t joke!" Pei Liyan said seriously, "I’m just asking, are you serious?"

He Zheng nodded. "Yes."

"So, these years playing the playboy, you’re just trying to make your parents disappointed and not interfere with your marital affairs, right?" Pei Liyan looked at his friend, analyzed, "At least, your current image has deeply penetrated the Qingcheng Business District, all the ladies think you’re a playboy."

He Zheng smiled, "You see through me but don’t say anything, why say it out loud?"

"Brother, your tactic, you really have a lot of tricks." Pei Liyan sincerely praised him.

"Actually, it’s not about being crafty. You see, in families like ours, without careful planning, can we marry the girl we love?"

"If you want to marry Si Ran, you might face many challenges."

"No rush!" He Zheng said with a smile, "I’ll date her properly now, enjoy a few years, plus that girl might not even want to marry me."

"Haven’t you noticed that Si Ran looks at you differently compared to other men?" Pei Liyan said, looking at He Zheng.

He Zheng immediately perked up. "Really? How did you discover it? Quickly, tell me, what’s different?"

Looking at his excited demeanor, Pei Liyan was speechless.

"You need to savor it yourself."

"Tsk!" He Zheng scoffed, "It’s not a secret, why not just say it?"

"You really need to observe sincerely." Pei Liyan said, "If Si Ran doesn’t have you in her heart, she definitely won’t be with you. If you can win her over, it means she has you in her heart."

He Zheng thought for a moment, and said, "Of course, if she doesn’t have me in her heart, wouldn’t I be wasting my efforts?"

Pei Liyan couldn’t be bothered with him, "Alright, I have things to handle. If you want to see Si Ran, go find her."

"Can’t you give your brother a break?" He Zheng said.

Pei Liyan laughed and said, "I’m already letting you go see Si Ran, isn’t that a break?"

"You might be giving a break, but with Si Ran’s serious work attitude, do you think she’ll give me a warm welcome if I visit?" He Zheng thought and felt quite discouraged.

"Then what do you suggest?" Pei Liyan asked back, "Just make a direct request!"

He Zheng thought carefully and then shook his head. "I think I should forget it. Si Ran always keeps work and personal matters separate. She definitely won’t welcome me at this time, I’ll just greet her and leave."

"You know it yourself, no need for me to say more," Pei Liyan said.

"So how about we have a gathering tonight?" He Zheng said, "Invite my sister-in-law, let’s bring everyone together."

Pei Liyan thought Qiao Rui indeed has been quite busy recently, spending some leisure time together is a form of relaxation.

"Alright, we’ll try our best to cooperate and create opportunities for you," Pei Liyan said in a serious tone.

"Just your sister-in-law!" He Zheng said, "Do you think the Lin Family will act desperately?"

Pei Liyan nodded. "So we need to be extra careful when going out to hang out."

"Naturally." He Zheng nodded, suddenly becoming serious, "If it’s too dangerous, let’s not go out, just have the gathering at home."

"At your place?" Pei Liyan thought this suggestion was good.

"Come to my place!" He Zheng said, "If I invite Si Ran privately, she definitely won’t come, but if everyone goes, then she’ll also come."

"Okay!" Pei Liyan was fully cooperative.

"Then it’s settled." He Zheng said, "By the way, should we invite Qiao Xiang?"

"No need." Pei Liyan said.

He Zheng nodded as well. "Yeah, I think with her connection to the Lin Family, it’s not quite appropriate to invite her."

Pei Liyan nodded.

"I’m off then." He Zheng stood up, "You stay busy!"

He walked out of the president’s office, headed straight to Si Ran’s desk, and greeted with a smile, "Secretary Si, how’s the work going?"

Upon hearing He Zheng’s voice, Si Ran froze for a moment, then looked up at him and said, "President He, my apologies, I’m really busy here, can’t chat casually now."

"Alright, we’ll chat when you finish work this afternoon." He Zheng said with a smile, "There will be time then."

"President He, I have to go home to accompany my dad this afternoon!" Si Ran said in a serious tone.
