The next day, two days before the next auspicious day.
In the morning, when Bian Tong pa.s.sed by the Pei family’s main gate, the facial recognition device did not recognize him.
To be precise, he did not recognize any faces.
Although he was wearing a hat, sungla.s.ses, and a mask, if one didn’t look carefully, one wouldn’t be able to tell. However, he couldn’t fool the Pei family’s professional equipment.
“Hmm?” The security guard looked at the display screen strangely and patted it. Then, he looked up at Bian Tong, who had already walked in.
Fortunately, Bian Tong had been coming over frequently recently and had been wearing a very recognizable windbreaker. This was their boss’ VIP and the security guards knew him.
Bian Tong was also very calm. When he realized that the device did not recognize him, he did not stop. As usual, he walked in calmly.
When the security guards saw this, they thought that it was just their equipment that had suddenly malfunctioned.
In the office, Pei Huai had just come down from the morning meeting and was currently dealing with a contract.
When Bian Tong entered, Pei Huai gestured to the seat opposite him. “Have a seat first. Wait for me for a few minutes.”
He didn’t raise his head and knew that the person who came was Bian Tong.
Bian Tong smiled. “There’s no rush. You go ahead.”
There was a cup of tea beside him. The teacup was hot, so it should have just been brewed.
Bian Tong opened it and took a look. His eyes lit up as he said, “oh, what a
beautiful little daisy.”
Small daisies floated on the surface of the tea. The flowers were equal in size. The quality was excellent. After soaking in the tea at the most suitable temperature, the petals were wet and extremely cute.
“Is this for me?” Bian Tong loved to drink tea. “I’ve been too happy recently. However, happiness is short-lived
He didn’t say it in a sad tone. A person who had lived for thousands of years would not take such a small matter to heart.
Pei Huai responded and flipped to the second last page of the contract. He signed his name in the blank s.p.a.ce where he needed the signature of the first party.
Bian Tong happily picked up his teacup and took a sip. Only then did he notice that under the layer of small daisies, Pei Huai had added some other good things for him.
It was the smell of Chinese medicine.
But he couldn’t think of any Chinese medicine that he needed to take in his current condition.
“What illness is this for?”
Pei Huai closed the doc.u.ment in his hand and closed the pen cap. With a light parabola, the pen landed steadily in the pen holder.
“It’s a special medicine for vitigo and psoriatic fever.”
He might not understand.
But the answer was in the next sentence.
Pei Huai said, “it can even out the skin color.”
He admitted that his skin color was extremely uneven now!
But these were two different things!
The corners of his mouth twitched violently. His hand that was holding the teacup stopped in mid-air. He did not know if he should put it into his mouth. He was in a dilemma. “Don’t worry about me…”
Pei Huai looked at him with a pair of deep eyes. He stared at him for a few seconds before looking away. “Normal people won’t have any side effects even if they drink it. Let’s try our best.”
In the end, Bian Tong drank it all, mainly because the small daisies smelled so good.
After finishing the last sip, he put down the teacup in satisfaction.
He looked at Pei Huai hesitantly. He had not said the main purpose of coming today. Although he was worried that he would anger Pei Huai, but…he still had to mention it.
“It’s the day after tomorrow. Did Ms. Su…?”
Pei Huai glanced at him and said, “no.”
After a few seconds of silence, he said, “when it’s time, just go without worry. I’ll think of a way.”
Bian Tong had also guessed that this would be the result. He rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment. “Then, after I leave, go to the White Dragon Master for the next auspicious day and time. Fortunately, you’ve interacted with him last time, so he should be able to help with this small favor. You can also hire him to do a ritual. With the money spent for one ritual, you can at least get him to give you ten auspicious days and times…”
Bian Guanshi probably wouldn’t have guessed that his grandson was helping others scheme against him.
“Alright.” Pei Huai looked at Bian Tong. “Other than you, I can only trust him.”
Bian Tong had never explicitly introduced his relationship with the White Dragon Master to him, but the way Pei Huai looked at him at this moment was enough to explain everything.
Nothing could escape Pei Huai’s eyes…
The original owner came to Blue Whale today to “treat” Meng Na, Pan Lian, Ren Guanghua, and CEO Ren.
This move was indeed well-received, and the effect was more obvious than any of her previous efforts.
She returned to her lounge after she had done all the favors.
When she reached the door, she heard a scolding voice from inside. The voice was not harsh, but it sounded familiar.
Pushing open the door, Pei Xi sat with her back facing her. She leaned against the back of the chair, rubbing her stomach with one hand and supporting her forehead with the other. She sat lazily, exuding the aura of a big boss.
Across from them, Ai Yan and Ai Meng were sitting there.
Not only did the two of them look the same, but their movements were also the same. They placed their palms on their knees at the same time, lowered their heads slightly, and shrugged their shoulders. They looked like students who were called into the teacher’s office for a hearing.
Pei Xi asked them to report on their recent work. If they did not answer to her satisfaction, she would reprimand them.
When her sister-in-law came yesterday, Pei Xi had specially asked her how the two a.s.sistants she had hired were. She said that she was satisfied. They were capable and smart. However. Pei Xi. who was very good at observing people.
could hear something else between the lines.
The two a.s.sistants seemed to treat Su Ji less well after the accident…
Therefore, Pei Xi came today mainly to talk about this matter.
She was almost done.
Ai Yan and Ai Meng also noticed the original owner.
Ai Meng quickly waved. “Ms. Pei Xi, Ms. Su Ji is back!”
Pei Xi sat up and turned around. At the same time, a charming smile bloomed on her face.
“Su Ji, sit down. I’m free today, so I came to see you.”
Aiyan got up and went to get a chair.
The original owner returned a polite smile and sat beside Pei Xi.
Pei Xi gave Ai Yan and Ai Meng a look, indicating that they could leave.
The two of them left and helped them close the door.
The original owner was very happy that Pei Xi could come to see her today. This meant that the action of delivering the medicine yesterday was effective.
Hence, she asked Pei Xi, “have you taken the medicine I gave you yesterday?” Pei Xi’s smile froze on her face for a second.
“Yes, yes.” She waved her hand. “Don’t worry, didn’t you say that I must take it three times a day? I ate it as soon as you left yesterday.”
“Alright then.” The original owner nodded in relief. Then, she took a paper cup from the side, filled it with water of suitable temperature, and placed it in front of Pei Xi.
“It’s time for the one before lunch…
