Chapter 462: Chapter 462 A Detail Gives Insight Into the Whole

"Pei, I’m feeling guilty here!" Fu Yichen confessed his concerns in front of Pei Liyan: "It’s not that I’m insincere."

"If you are sincere, you should go to the Qiao Family yourself, instead of running to me to be your spokesperson. A man should face his own actions honestly—this is the attitude a man should have," Pei Liyan said gravely.

Fu Yichen awkwardly smiled again. "I understand what you mean, Pei, alright, I’ll go to the Qiao Family directly and find my sister-in-law."

"The intention to cooperate with the Qiao Family, is it prompted by your uncle?" Pei Liyan asked again.

Fu Yichen nodded. "Uncle He called my father, saying it was a good time to cooperate with the Qiao Family now."

"What do you think about it yourself?" Pei Liyan looked at him and asked back: "Do you also think it’s a good idea?"

"I certainly think it’s appropriate," Fu Yichen admitted with embarrassment. "Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to find you."

Pei Liyan nodded. "Well, you saying that makes sense."

At least Fu Yichen himself is willing to cooperate. Otherwise, without sincerity, the cooperation wouldn’t be pleasant.

Fu Yichen was quite embarrassed too, "It’s just, I don’t know if my sister-in-law will give us this opportunity."

"Business is business, Qiao Rui will naturally agree to cooperate if it’s appropriate," Pei Liyan said solemnly: "After all, it benefits all our interests. Whether it succeeds depends on the terms you negotiate."

"Of course," Fu Yichen nodded. "I’m going with sincerity, for cooperation and mutual benefit, and I’ll apologize sincerely."

To sincerely apologize for his previously disrespectful attitude towards Qiao Rui.

"That’s good," Pei Liyan said: "Qiao Rui is not a petty girl, she won’t hold it against you."

"I hope my sister-in-law truly agrees," Fu Yichen was still a bit uneasy.

Pei Liyan didn’t say anything more, then looked at Pei Qingxiao: "Xiaoxiao, your idea to intern at the Qiao Family is nice, but your sister-in-law is too busy to take you for the internship."

"Brother, don’t refuse me first; my sister-in-law hasn’t even spoken yet. Help me ask; maybe she’ll agree," Pei Qingxiao was not anxious, looking at Pei Liyan expectantly: "Brother, you’ll convey this for me, right?"

"I think it’s better not to bother your sister-in-law. If you want an internship, come directly to the Pei Family."

"Brother, if you really can’t speak for me, I’ll ask my other brother; he says my sister-in-law is very reasonable," Pei Qingxiao pushed Pei Jibai forward.

After all, last time being punished in the ancestral hall, Pei Jibai had interactions with Qiao Rui and truly helped, although not much, he was still quite earnest in helping.

The reason for coming to her elder brother was still out of respect.

As soon as Pei Liyan heard about bringing Pei Jibai over, he immediately said: "Alright, I’ll ask this afternoon, no need to trouble Jibai."

"Thank you, brother," Pei Qingxiao immediately brightened.

She still wanted to say something more, but Pei Liyan didn’t give the young girl a chance, directly saying: "You go back now and wait for my call, let your brother Yichen take you back."

"Don’t worry Pei, I’ll take Xiaoxiao back," Fu Yichen immediately volunteered. "I promise to deliver her to school."

Pei Liyan nodded. "Go ahead."

The two finally left Pei Liyan’s office, but they saw Qiao Xiang as soon as they came out. Fu Yichen hesitated slightly, but still walked over.

Qiao Xiang lowered her head and said nothing.

Fu Yichen noticed her cold attitude, knowing it was because she was angry about being taken by his father’s people that day.

Since then, there has been no contact.

"Qiao Xiang!" Fu Yichen said.

Qiao Xiang paused, then looked up, meeting his eyes, and smiled, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes.

"Yichen, do you need something?" Her attitude was very cold.

Fu Yichen also paused, seeing her cold attitude, smiled, and said: "Nothing much, is Aunt okay?"

"She’s fine, thanks for your concern," Qiao Xiang’s attitude was very cold, polite, and very distant.

Fu Yichen’s gaze stayed on Qiao Xiang’s face for a few seconds before he said, "Okay."

Then he turned and left.

Pei Qingxiao glanced at Qiao Xiang, also smiled, and said, "Goodbye, Sister Xiang."

"Goodbye," Qiao Xiang didn’t even show a smile.

Pei Qingxiao also didn’t look at her, staying beside Fu Yichen, and looked up at him, saying: "Brother Yichen, take me directly to school later; I have to go to the school club’s activity."

"Sure," Fu Yichen nodded. "What’s your club activity?"

"There’s a play rehearsal today; I have to play a princess," Pei Qingxiao said, "A princess from a kingdom."

"Oh!" Fu Yichen replied casually.

"We still need a warrior," Pei Qingxiao said, "I’m looking for someone but haven’t found a suitable one, can you help by playing a part?"

"Me?" Fu Yichen was surprised: "I’m not a student in your school club."

"It doesn’t matter," Pei Qingxiao said: "I’ll tell everyone you’re my friend. Anyway, they won’t mind."

Fu Yichen was about to refuse when Pei Qingxiao begged: "Don’t rush to refuse, it won’t take too much of your time."

Their conversation gradually faded away with their departing figures.

Qiao Xiang then looked up, gazing in the direction they left, her eyes somewhat distracted.

The Qiao Family.

He Zheng and his father, He Liangping, came together to negotiate cooperation with Qiao Rui.

Huo Sinan also came.

With both companies coming, the entire Qiao Family was in an uproar.

Huo Sinan came with his subordinates, and he immediately looked at Gai Yin.

Qiao Rui said to him: "President Huo, I will first talk with the He Family, they called five minutes earlier. Will you wait a bit?"

"No problem," Huo Sinan was easygoing.

"Thank you," Qiao Rui said. "That reassures me."

"No need to be polite, President Qiao," Huo Sinan waited in the guest room with his subordinates.

Gai Yin also glanced at Huo Sinan, and their eyes briefly met, making Gai Yin frown slightly.

Qiao Rui looked at her.

Gai Yin quickly withdrew her gaze, wondering why she always felt intense resentment whenever she saw this man.

Her feelings about this man weren’t very friendly.

But she couldn’t quite figure it out.

Did she know him before?

She thought and thought but couldn’t remember.

Qiao Rui quickly went to the conference room, and Gai Yin had no time to ponder further, promptly following her inside.

He Liangping sat on one side of the conference table, with He Zheng sitting beside him, followed by several people from their company.

They were a group on one side of the conference table, forming a separate faction.

Qiao Rui entered the room with her assistant Gai Yin and Li Chongming, but did not bring the project manager from the Qiao Family; this was a new project, and she didn’t plan to use people from the Qiao Family.

Upon entering, Qiao Rui saw the seating arrangement and automatically sat opposite He Liangping, not taking the central seat.

This was not hosting a meeting but a cooperation negotiation, no leader needed; sitting opposite He Liangping showed the utmost respect for him.

Next to her were Gai Yin and Li Chongming.

Her seating made He Liangping quietly raise his eyebrows, quite pleased.

A detail could reflect the whole picture.

It seems she could confront the Lin Family and win completely, not without reason.
