Sweet Temptation! The Beauty in President Pei's Palm is Too Alluring

"Why are you saying sorry..." she choked up, "It's not your fault."

Pei Yanzhou took her hand and gently kissed it: "Hua'er, let's go public."

public?

In fact, Shu Hua had also considered this idea. The various inconveniences and misunderstandings brought about by the secret marriage had indeed exhausted her. Especially recently, seeing Pei Yanzhou being so careful and even somewhat restrained out of consideration for her feelings, she felt sorry for him.

But her concerns remained—when she first joined the company, she just wanted to kill time. But now, after working there for a while, she's discovered she quite likes the job and enjoys the sense of accomplishment it brings. She also gets along well with her colleagues.

If it were made public, she would inevitably receive preferential treatment, more "care" and "attention." But she didn't want that; she didn't want this job to be mixed with other factors; she still wanted to rely on her own abilities. She also didn't want to feel unequal when interacting with others.

"I..." she bit her lower lip, "I want to think about it first, okay?"

"Okay." Pei Yanzhou nodded. "Whatever your decision, I respect it. But I have only one request."

"What?"

"Don't let yourself get hurt."

Shu Hua felt a warmth in her heart; his words seemed to have soothed away her hesitation and worries.

She nodded, lifting her head from his embrace with a hint of pride: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Your wife is never one to be bullied!"

Pei Yanzhou was amused by her "I'm so amazing" little expression: "Then what are you?"

Shu Hua tilted her head and thought for a moment: "A clever fox."

Pei Yanzhou laughed and pinched her cheek: "I think you're more like a rabbit, just like a glutinous rice ball."

"How do I look like a glutinous rice ball?" Shu Hua retorted.

Pei Yanzhou tapped her eyes, nose, and mouth: "Here, here, here, they all look alike. They're all very pretty and cute, aren't they?"

Shu Hua was amused by him.

She knew he was just trying to make her happy, and she was definitely susceptible to it. She relied heavily on the sense of security and pampering he gave her.

She wrapped her arms around his waist, buried her face deep in his warm, firm chest, and inhaled his fresh, pleasant scent: "Pei Yanzhou, I like you so much..."

After saying that, without giving Pei Yanzhou time to react, she quickly looked up and kissed him on the lips, then buried her face back in his chest and rubbed against him.

Pei Yanzhou was taken aback by her sudden confession and kiss, then smiled. He hugged her back and pinched her earlobe: "I like you very much too, baby."

The two hugged quietly for a while.

Shu Hua suddenly said, "Pei Yanzhou, let's go see the meteor shower together sometime."

"Okay," Pei Yanzhou agreed quickly.

She wanted to make a wish upon a shooting star.

May they be safe, healthy, happy, and fulfilled...

The annual employee sports meet of Pei's Group is one of the most anticipated large-scale events in the company.

Unlike the formal and grand annual meeting, the sports meet leans more towards entertainment and team building, aiming to relax and enhance cohesion. Every year, company employees vote on the season to hold the event. Last year it was spring, while this year, midsummer was the most popular choice—

The reason is simple and straightforward: there are swimming competitions in the summer, and you can also play in the water, how great is that!

Every year at its annual meeting and sports meet, Pei's spares no expense in inviting the most popular celebrities among its employees to perform and interact with them. This has long been one of Pei's proudest employee benefits. This year is no exception, with the invitation list including several established singers, currently popular young actors and actresses, and... Wen Jiani, the actress who just won a Best Actress award at an international film festival.

The sports meet lasted for three days, and the largest stadium in Hwaseong was booked out. There were also dinners and fireworks shows in the evenings, and all the nearby hotels were also booked.

What drove the employees wild was that these three days were paid leave!

And right after that is a weekend off! Not to mention the incredibly tempting prizes: a seven-day trip for two to Europe, ten brand-new Porsche sports cars given away on the same day, and the most exciting "money counting game"—the company puts out 50 million in cash, and you can take away as much as you count within a specified time!

Not a single employee was unhappy about coming.

The stadium was packed with people on the opening day.

Yao Zhiyao grabbed Shu Hua, brimming with excitement: "Sister Hua! Wen Jiani really came! I wanted to take a picture with her, but there are so many people gathered over there..."

Wen Jiani, an artist under the company, was wearing a sporty dress and had her long hair tied in a high ponytail. She was talking to several artists in the guest area. Sure enough, a lot of employees were gathered around her, queuing up for photos and autographs.

"You like Sister Jia Ni?" Shu Hua asked.

"I love it!" Yao Zhiyao's eyes lit up. "I'm a fan of hers. I've seen all of her works. This is the first time I've met her in person. I'm so touched."

As she spoke, she even raised her hand as if to wipe away tears, clearly a true fan.

Shu Hua smiled: "Simple. During the lunch break, I'll take you to Sister Jia Ni's lounge so you can get up close and personal with your idol."

"Really?" Yao Zhiyao's eyes widened. "Sister Hua, you're not lying to me, are you? I'm very easy to fool, I'd believe you even if you lied to me."

"When have I ever lied to you?" Shu Hua patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, I promise to help you fulfill your wish."

The first event of the morning was the classic team competition – tug-of-war.

Pei Yanzhou, who was originally sitting in the audience with a group of executives, suddenly stood up, changed into a tracksuit, and came down.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

President Pei is actually going to participate in the competition himself?

Today he was wearing a black tracksuit, a black short-sleeved sports shirt and sports pants, which accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist, giving him an excellent physique. Without his usual suit and tie, he looked refreshed and youthful.

The design department had already assembled a team and were discussing tactics when they suddenly heard a commotion around them.

"President Pei is walking this way!"

"Oh my god, is he going to join the design department?"

"The design department has been incredibly lucky this year!"

Shu Hua stood at the back of the line and looked up.

Pei Yanzhou was walking towards the design department, followed by several executives who had also changed into sportswear. He walked with a leisurely pace, his gaze sweeping across the crowd before finally settling on her.

Mr. Pei looks very handsome today too.

Pei Yanzhou's lips curled into a slight smile as he walked to the design department's team and said to Vice President Lin, the team leader, "Can I join them?"

Vice President Lin was flattered: "Of course! It's an honor for us to have you join our team, President Pei!"

Employees from other departments nearby groaned in despair.

"President Pei! Come to our marketing department!"

"The technical department needs you!"

"Our finance department misses you very much!"
