Chapter 207: Looking For a Beating
Du Ze was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He even deliberately sprinkled some cologne on himself. He looked dignified and imposing. Of course, if one ignored his slightly crippled right leg, when such a person walked out… It was obvious that he was a young talent who had achieved more than he could return.
“President Du, the car is ready. What do you think?”
“We’ll set off in half an hour.”
The secretary was stunned. This Boss had invited the eldest daughter of the Pei family for dinner. Why was he deliberately late? The Boss was very punctual when he had dinner with those people. What was going on today?
However, he did not dare to question it. Although this Du Ze looked gentle and gentle, his temper was a little strange. No one dared to provoke him. Fortunately, he was good to his employees, but he seemed to hate women. Anyway, he had been in the company for so long, but it was rare to see any women around President Du. The only woman in the Secretary Department was Sister Zhang, who was in her 30s and almost 40s. If it was not for her outstanding abilities and her marriage and children… It would probably be difficult to transfer her to work for President Du.
President Du was so handsome and capable. The only drawback was probably that leg. However, as long as this man’s career was successful, it was not a big deal for him to have such a minor problem.
After looking at him coldly these past few days, Du Ze had been ‘forced’ to meet many young ladies from wealthy families. Many of the CEOs had specially brought their unmarried daughters along when they asked President Du to discuss matters. At those banquets, he also saw many young ladies fawning over President Du. Du Ze had always been distant and indifferent.
However, was there something wrong with President Du’s treatment of the Pei family’s young lady today? For example, he had dressed up specially and was late on purpose?
Was this all a means to attract attention?
Of course, Secretary Xiao Chen definitely did not know about the farce of the Pei family. In fact, many people who worked hard for the social cla.s.s did not know about it.
That night, everyone who attended the banquet was greeted by the Ouyang family one by one. If they wanted to offend the Ouyang family, they could lash out at the Ouyang family as they pleased. However, they would have to taste the consequences themselves.
There were so many wealthy families that could shut them up. Other than the Ouyang family, there was no one else in China who could make them shut up.
Therefore, to outsiders, Pei Li and Pei Meimei’s ident.i.ties were still sought after by everyone. They were the Pei family’s Eldest Miss and Young Master who they were envious towards.
So much so that the secretary, Xiao Chen, felt that President Du’s actions did not seem appropriate.
Pei Meimei thought that she would arrive half an hour late. No matter what, this method of taking advantage of time was enough to keep him in suspense.
However, when she arrived, she realized that Du Ze wasn’t there. At first, she thought that she had taken advantage of time and that Du Ze had left without waiting for her. However, after asking the waiter, she found out that it wasn’t him who had left first. It was this Du Ze who hadn’t arrived at all.
Pei Meimei’s temper flared up. He was really arrogant, wasn’t he? He actually dared to be so late. When this country b.u.mpkin arrived, she would definitely whet that country b.u.mpkin’s appet.i.te. Did he really think that she, Pei Meimei, was easy to court?
Pei Meimei ordered a coffee and sat there. She waited for more than half an hour. When it was past eight o’clock, she felt that she was about to lose control of her anger, but Du Ze finally arrived late.
Pei Meimei was facing the door when she saw Du Ze slowly walking over with a limp.
A look of disdain flashed across her eyes. Not only that, there was also a faint smile on her lips. So what if he was dressed up beautifully today? In the past, he had wagged his tail and begged her for mercy. He had been bullied in the snow.
Of course, no one knew what she was thinking. However, Du Ze had gone through so many hards.h.i.+ps. When he saw Pei Meimei’s playful smile and the undisguised mockery in her eyes, the anger in his heart that had long been suppressed returned once again.
She really thought that no one knew about the scandal of the Pei family. She was just an illegitimate child, and it was still a mess. How could she still be so arrogant and look down on him?
“President Du’s sense of time is really not that good. It seems that the development of Dongyou Country is very fast. The business has been busy to this extent.”
Du Ze slowly walked over and sat on the sofa. When he heard Pei Meimei’s obviously complaining words, he did not look at her. He stared at the menu in his hand and ordered the dishes for the waiter before looking up at Pei Meimei.
Pei Meimei’s heart skipped a beat when Du Ze suddenly raised his head and stared at her. Why was Du Ze looking at her like that?
However, this high-spirited Du Ze was like a completely different person from the one who always wore a checkered s.h.i.+rt and a pair of big, black, framed eyes.
The current Du Ze was completely like the Prince Charming in her heart. He was dressed in a suit and was in high spirits. Moreover, his entire body was full of vigor. No matter how she looked at him, she felt that this Du Ze was definitely not the person who had been bullied by her before.
This scene made her blush and her heart beat faster. She even lowered her head shyly. Based on Du Ze’s current wealth, she could barely match him.
Pei Meimei was dreaming in her heart. Du Ze naturally did not know, but that pair of flushed cheeks made Du Ze feel that it was especially glaring.
In the end, he calmly said the first thing he said to Pei Meimei that night. “It’s not because there are too many things to do in the company, but because I met a lost puppy halfway. I found it quite interesting and teased it for too long.”
Pei Meimei’s face turned from red to green. She had never expected Du Ze’s reason to be so ridiculous.
What did he take her for? She was not even as good as a stray dog?
She really wanted to get up and walk over immediately. She had done the same, but Du Ze’s next words immediately dispelled her thoughts. She only heard Du Ze say,
“Miss Pei, are you leaving? It just so happens that I have a drink with the CEO of Ligao Technology. I can leave first too.”
Ligao Technology had stayed abroad for a year. Naturally, Pei Meimei had heard of the name Ligao. It was a famous online gaming company overseas. She had not expected Du Ze to be so amazing. He had even managed to get close to the CEO of Ligao. It seemed that she really had to swallow her pride in front of a man for the time being.
Pei Meimei sat down with great difficulty. She looked at Du Ze and said, “No matter what, we are old friends. No matter how busy President Du is, he should at least take care of his old friends. I won’t pursue this matter of being late. Let’s order some food.”
Du Ze smiled. This woman was still so blind.
Pei Meimei thought that since she had settled the matter, Du Ze should be so happy that he wanted to die.
However, Du Ze sat down, but every word he said made Pei Meimei feel extremely cold.
“You’re not going to pursue the matter? What right do you have to pursue the matter? Do you think you’re still the Young Miss of the Pei family? Or do you think I, Du Ze, am so despicable that I want to be abused?”
“Pei Meimei, even if you want to indulge in l.u.s.t, it depends on who you use it on. Also, who is the person who uses who? As for you? You’re just a b.a.s.t.a.r.d. How dare you say that to me?”
