Chapter 67: We can't afford to have any scandals.

Today is another sunny day, and the weather in June is already very hot in the morning.

After spending a month in the hospital, Minghui was finally able to be discharged today, and he was beaming with joy as he sat in the car.

However, the person who came to pick Minghui up from the hospital today was neither his beloved daughter nor his good son who had already gone abroad.

Inside the underground parking lot of the Ming family mansion, Pei Ming, Du Lian, and Yan Jie's driver carefully carried Ming Hui from the car to a wheelchair, while Yan Jie stood leisurely to the side, carrying her bag.

"It's good to have a son-in-law. At a critical time, you can't count on either your son or daughter." Yan Jie was quite satisfied that Pei Ming was able to take time out of his busy schedule to pick Minghui up from the hospital and take him home.

Pei Ming casually closed the car door and said gently to Yan Jie, "Weiwei has a lot of things to do today and can't get away. As for Chengze, there's no need to mention him. Only I have more free time."

"Don't make excuses for Weiwei. She just feels that she can rely on you for things at home."

Yan Jie could deduce from the fact that Ming Weiyi didn't go to the hospital to pick up her biological father herself, but instead entrusted Pei Ming to do so, that Ming Weiyi and Pei Ming had been getting along quite well recently.

"It's a good thing to be able to rely on someone." Pei Ming still had a gentle demeanor. Yan Jie's mention of "family matters" made Pei Ming feel that Ming Wei also considered him part of the family.

"Today is a good day for your dad to be discharged from the hospital. Bring Weiwei back tonight so our family can have dinner together." Yan Jie said, then smiled and patted Pei Ming's arm. She was very satisfied with what Pei Ming had just said.

Pei Ming smiled politely at Yan Jie and said, "Okay, Mom."

Yan Jie knew that Pei Ming's time shouldn't be wasted here, so she said gently to Pei Ming, "I know you're busy, so I won't ask you to come to my house for a while. Go home early tonight."

Pei Ming nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll definitely bring Weiwei back early tonight."

Minghui, who was sitting in a wheelchair nearby, listened to what Yan Jie and Pei Ming were saying. He smiled and waved to Pei Ming, "See you tonight..."

Watching Pei Ming's car leave the underground parking lot, Yan Jie withdrew her gaze from the rear of the vehicle. The more she looked at Pei Ming, the more satisfied she became with her son-in-law.

Ming's Group, Planning Department 1

Recently, the company doesn't need to launch any new projects, so the Planning Department 1 is still doing the patching up of things that weren't done properly on a regular basis.

Ming Weiyi's task involved coordinating details with the sales department, and she immediately thought of the person who had added her on WeChat yesterday. Moreover, it was necessary for Qi Fei to know about this.

“Someone from the sales department added me on WeChat yesterday and sent me some suggestions for our proposal. I’ll send you a screenshot.” ​​Ming Wei said this to Qi Fei through the air, and then she pulled up her chat history with Tang Zhe.

"The sales department added you privately? Was it a man or a woman?" Upon hearing this, Qi Fei turned her face directly towards Ming Weiyi, and the next second, she received a screenshot from Ming Weiyi on her phone.

“A man,” Ming Wei replied casually.

"A man?" Qi Fei immediately revealed a gossipy look, and then she picked up her phone to look at the chat history that Ming Weiyi had sent her.

The chat history shows that the sales department asked a few very simple marketing questions, and Mingwei answered them with considerable patience.

"He even asked you about this in private? Is he new here?" Judging from Qi Fei's expression, she looked down on this person in the sales department.

Mingwei nodded, "Yes, he said he's only been with our company for less than a year."

“No wonder he was so polite to you; he really is a newcomer.” In Qi Fei’s memory, the veteran employees in the sales department were all arrogant and would never be so polite to people in the planning department in private. “He also said that the sales department hoped that any conflicts with us this time could be resolved privately, and that we shouldn’t let it escalate to President Pei’s place like last time.”

Mingwei deliberately emphasized the words "President Pei" a bit more, after all, the person who became famous in the last battle was Qi Fei.

Qi Fei also felt that what the sales department said made sense. "The sales department finally knows to avoid conflicts and develop together?"

"What if the sales department thinks you have a good relationship with Assistant Du and is afraid that Assistant Du will stand up for you with President Pei?"

Ming Wei also gave a mischievous smile. She deliberately mentioned Du Lian in front of Qi Fei, since even the new girl in the planning department knew that Qi Fei and Du Lian were friends.

"I really don't know him at all! I really don't know him at all!" Qi Fei exclaimed, speechless.

“You’re not even familiar with him, yet you dare to tell him gossip about President Pei? Who would believe that?” Ming Wei also put on a resolute expression of disbelief. To be honest, she now felt that Qi Fei and Du Lian were actually quite a good match.

"At most, it's just me being sarcastic. Anyway, I'm really not familiar with Du Lian. Believe it or not." Qi Fei really couldn't be bothered to explain too much to Ming Weiyi.

Seeing Qi Fei's unhappy expression, Ming Wei chuckled, "I was just teasing you. Everyone knows you're a social butterfly."

"Speaking of which, if a guy in the sales department adds you on WeChat in private, is he just asking you some trivial questions and has no other intentions? Maybe he's just attracted to you but too embarrassed to say it directly."

Qi Fei had just been gossiped about by Ming Wei, so of course she had to retaliate, since what she said wasn't impossible.

"Don't talk nonsense." Ming Wei's smile vanished at Qi Fei's words.

"By the way, how did the sales department get your WeChat?" The more Ming Wei resisted, the more interested Qi Fei became, especially since it was a question she had just forgotten to ask.

“After get off work yesterday, he asked for my WeChat in person. He asked if I was from the planning department.” Ming Wei said calmly, “That’s the truth.”

"Anyway, I feel like this isn't that simple. It's perfectly normal for someone as beautiful as you to be targeted." This time, it was Qi Fei's turn to grin mischievously.

"Shut up, just focus on your work." Ming Wei knew Qi Fei was joking, but she wasn't single anymore, and she couldn't afford to cause any scandals that Pei Ming would find out about.

Just as Ming Weiyi was thinking about Pei Ming, her phone rang. She picked it up and glanced at the WeChat message, which turned out to be from Pei Ming.

“I’ve already picked Dad up from the hospital and taken him home. Mom told us to come home early today so our family can have a meal together.”

Ming Wei originally wanted to thank Pei Ming, but Pei Ming had told her several times not to always thank him, so Ming Wei deleted the three words "thank you" that she had typed.

Immediately afterwards, Mingwei typed another line of text and sent it to Pei Ming.

"Okay, I'll definitely leave work on time this afternoon, and we'll go home together for dinner."

Originally, Mingwei had some resentment towards Pei Ming because of the conversation last night, but Pei Ming solved the important matter of picking up Minghui from the hospital early this morning, so Mingwei's resentment towards Pei Ming naturally disappeared.

She believed that even if she didn't know what Pei Ming was really thinking, as Tang Ying said, Pei Ming cared a lot about things concerning her.
