Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 54 is just a ploy to lure you in.
In the morning, soft sunlight streamed through the glass windows, illuminating the entire room. In the dining room, a woman in her forties laid out breakfast on the table. Her hair was all tied up, giving her a very capable look.

Upon seeing Ming Wei and Pei Ming walk into the dining table one after the other, the woman smiled, greeted them, and then left.

"Today, President Meng will send you a list of companies suitable for cooperation with us. Please select them carefully." After sending this voice message, Pei Ming placed his phone on the dining table and sat down.

Mingwei didn't need to guess to know that Pei Ming's voice message was sent to Du Lian.

However, this also reminded Ming Weiyi that she had not yet asked Pei Ming about Manxian and Meng Ran.

"By the way, you said yesterday that you and Manxian talked about cooperation. How did it go?" Mingwei pretended not to know anything. After asking this question, she casually picked up the milk on the table and took a sip.

Pei Ming also picked up his milk and took a sip. "The talks went well. We'll follow up with the specific partners in the coming days."

"Oh, who was it that you were discussing cooperation with over there, Manxian? Maybe I know them." Mingwei also turned her gaze to Pei Ming and began her probing conversation.

"Do you know Meng Ran, the daughter of Boss Meng of Manxian?" Pei Ming thought that Ming Wei might actually know Meng Ran, which was why she asked him this question.

Mingwei shook her head. "I don't know her. How old is Boss Meng's daughter? Is she pretty?"

Mingwei knew exactly how old Meng Ran was and how pretty she was, but she couldn't reveal that she had seen Meng Ran and Pei Ming talking.

Most importantly, Mingwei also wanted to hear what Meng Ran was like in Pei Ming's eyes.

"She's probably a little older than you, and as for looks, I don't think she's as pretty as you," Pei Ming replied casually, assuming Ming Weiyi was just asking around.

Mingwei was quite satisfied with this answer, and she continued to ask, "So what do you think of her as a person?"

Mingwei's question made Pei Ming think about what Meng Ran had said to him yesterday, and then he answered seriously: "He is very frank and decisive in his actions."

Mingwei also felt that Pei Ming's evaluation of Meng Ran was quite high, which meant that Pei Ming had a pretty good feeling about Meng Ran.

"No wonder your cooperation with President Meng went so smoothly. I think she has a good eye for people."

Ming Wei's words had a double meaning, but Pei Ming couldn't understand them, nor could he perceive the subtle tone in Ming Wei's voice when she said them.

"Are you praising me?" Pei Ming was completely unaware of Ming Weiyi's inner thoughts; he genuinely believed that Ming Weiyi was praising him.

Looking at Pei Ming's smiling face, Ming Wei also gave a forced smile, "That's right, you are capable, and President Meng has good judgment. Your cooperation will definitely be a perfect match."

“It’s clearly a win-win cooperation, what do you mean by ‘perfect match’?” Pei Ming quickly replaced Ming Weiyi’s words with another, as the phrase “perfect match” would be somewhat ambiguous when used to describe him and Meng Ran.

"Anyway, I hope your new energy industry in Jiangcheng can develop well, so that it will not be in vain that you chose Jiangcheng as the location for your company."

Putting aside personal feelings, Mingwei genuinely hoped that Pei Ming's company could establish itself and develop steadily in Jiangcheng, so that he would continue to stay in Jiangcheng.

This thought made Ming Weiyi's heart tremble again. She actually began to want Pei Ming to stay in Jiangcheng from now on, so that he could live with her forever.

Faced with Ming Wei's blessing, Pei Ming smiled gently and said, "Okay, then I will certainly live up to your expectations." The breakfast on the table was quickly devoured by the two of them, and another busy day was about to begin.

In the morning, doctors in all the outpatient departments of the hospital were seeing patients, but the emergency room was not so busy.

"Dr. Tang, someone is looking for you."

Hearing what the nurses in the ward said to her, Tang Ying didn't think too much about it and walked straight out of the emergency room.

Upon seeing who had come to see her, Tang Ying regretted not asking who it was. She really wanted to gouge her eyes out on the spot.

"Tang Ying, what do you mean? Why did you disappear after we met?"

This is where Tang Ying works, and her colleagues in the emergency room are all people she's worked with through thick and thin. Tang Ying really doesn't want to embarrass herself here.

"Let's talk outside." Tang Ying politely gestured for him to leave, and she deliberately walked towards the door, wanting the square-faced man in front of her to follow her out.

Seeing that Tang Ying's attitude was quite good, the man felt that some things should be said in front of Tang Ying's colleagues.

"What's the point of going out to talk about it? Blind dates aren't anything shameful." The man showed no intention of going out to talk to Tang Ying.

The word "blind date" immediately piqued the interest of the surrounding colleagues. They all pretended to be busy, but were actually observing everything in secret.

It's easy to see from the eyes of Tang Ying's colleagues that they all thought it was impossible for Tang Ying to go on a blind date with someone like that.

Seeing that the man had no intention of leaving the emergency room, Tang Ying didn't indulge him. "There's nothing shameful about blind dates, but I feel really ashamed to go on one with you."

"What do you mean? Do you know how many women would be eager to marry me given our family's circumstances? Aren't you just trying to play hard to get?"

This sentence surprised the patients who came to the emergency room. The patients whose conditions were not too serious sitting in the waiting area suddenly felt that it was worth it to come to the hospital today and also catch a show.

Tang Ying was once again amused by the man below her. "Playing hard to get, huh? You think you're so great just because you've learned a few idioms? Let me tell you, even if every man on Earth died, I wouldn't give you a second glance."

The man was instantly enraged by Tang Ying's words. Someone as inexplicably confident as him couldn't stand such rudeness. "You won't even look at me? Who do you think you are? You're a person born of a mother but without a father to raise you, and I don't even mind that you're an orphan..."

With a sharp slap, the usually noisy emergency room fell silent as Tang Ying's hand struck the man hard across the face.

Just as the man was about to retaliate against Tang Ying for being beaten in public, his male colleagues in the emergency room all pulled him back to prevent him from going forward.

The man's words crossed Tang Ying's bottom line. Veins bulged on her neck as she pointed at the man's face and roared angrily, "I'm warning you, don't ever show your face in front of me again, or I'll beat you every time I see you!"

"Come on! Hit me! She's just a woman!" Even as he was being pulled around, the man couldn't shake his scumbag attitude.

I've never seen anyone make such a shameless request before, so Tang Ying didn't hold back. She decisively took off her work clothes and kicked the man hard.
