Meng Yu was a little confused.

Han Yifei really enjoys stealing women from others; this time, he's even tried to steal Huo Xiao's woman.

The Meng Group has been annoyed by Honda Fit for some time now.

Huo Xiao is definitely not someone to mess with, so Meng Yu decided to add fuel to the fire and have more people help him deal with Han Yifei, which was exactly what he wanted to know.

"Then you should find an opportunity to remind Attorney Huo, lest he be scammed."

Pei Rongrong nodded emphatically, then seemed to remember something.

"Last time I was at home, I overheard my dad and uncle talking about some kind of military project collaboration with someone. Apparently, that old expert will be coming today too."

"Our Pei family has so many businesses we can't keep up. My uncle is a lawyer, so giving him this project wouldn't be of much use. How about we try to bring him to the Meng Group when we meet him later? What do you think?"

Pei Rongrong was eager to impress her boyfriend, and Meng Yu's eyes lit up instantly when he heard what she said.

Shao Yan formatted that billion-dollar project, and Meng Yu felt the pinch for a long time. He didn't dare tell the old man, fearing that if he complained, the old man would blame him for his poor handling of the matter.

This feeling of unease has been stuck in my chest ever since.

"That's not good, Rongrong. If your dad finds out, he'll think I, his future son-in-law, am trying to steal his business. No way."

Meng Yu had the exact opposite idea in his mind: if Pei Rongrong could really get him a cooperation with the military, he could use it to make up for the trouble Shao Yan had caused him.

Now that the old man has given him an explanation, he might agree to let him divorce Shao Yan and marry Pei Rongrong.

The hardest part was getting past Grandpa Meng. Meng Yu didn't dare tell him that he hadn't registered his marriage with Shao Yan, because he never thought of spending his life with a cripple.

Even if you saved his life, it won't work.

Pei Rongrong was eager to prove herself, and the more Meng Yu disagreed, the more she wanted him to see her abilities.

"How could that be? I'll take you there right away. You're the future son-in-law of the Pei family. My dad will be very happy if the business succeeds."

Meng Yu remained silent.

He looked at Han Yifei, who was surrounded by the crowd, and his displeasure reached its peak.

With Honda Fit around, the Meng Group will never reach its peak. What makes Han Yifei think he can compare to it?

"Grandpa Cao—"

Pei Rongrong spotted Cao Huande, who was holding champagne and chatting happily with her father. He was the highest-ranking leader in the military region, his son was a general, and his grandson was said to have joined the army as well.

Pei Hong looked at Pei Rongrong with eyes full of doting affection, but his gaze turned to Meng Yu beside him with a hint of coldness.

Pei Hong still harbored resentment about Pei Rongrong's kidnapping and felt that Meng Yu was unreliable.

"It's Rongrong! I haven't seen her in so many years. She's grown into a beautiful young woman."

Pei Rongrong clung to Pei Hong's arm and acted coquettishly, taking the opportunity to introduce Meng Yu to Old Master Cao.

Pei Hong was incredibly astute; he saw right through his daughter's thoughts.

Although he wasn't very satisfied with Meng Yu, Pei Rongrong liked him, and the Meng Group was indeed rapidly becoming a business giant in Beicheng.

No young talent in Beicheng can compare to Meng Yu.

"Daddy, Ayu is also involved in this, which you were just talking about. Why don't you let Ayu talk to Grandpa Cao?"

Pei Hong almost laughed out of anger at his daughter's blatant disloyalty; he couldn't help but pinch her nose.

"You're already helping outsiders screw over your father before you're even married."

Pei Rongrong acted coquettishly towards Pei Hong.

"Ah Yu's strength is obvious to all. Our Pei family is only ranked behind him. How can you say we're stealing him?"

Pei Hong was rendered speechless by Pei Rongrong's words and tried to save face.

"Alright, the younger generation will always surpass the older generation. Mr. Cao, this is my future son-in-law, Meng Yu. I believe you are familiar with the Meng Group. They will be a better choice for you. Let my son-in-law talk to you in detail."

Pei Rongrong was overjoyed, and Meng Yu, with a determined attitude, chatted eloquently with Old Cao.

The group had just raised their glasses and clinked them together when Han Yifei led Shao Yan straight toward Old Cao.

Shao Yan didn't want to face Meng Yu directly, so she whispered, "President Han, could I not go over there?"

Han Yifei had no intention of letting her off this time.

"How can that be? Your program was designed specifically for the military. If I introduce you to Old Cao, our cooperation with the military will be secure. You don't actually think the boss arranged for you to come here with me just for fun, do you?"

"..."

Shao Yan knew that Han Yifei had brought her here for a purpose. Before, she only thought that he brought her here as a gift to annoy Meng Yu.

After all, Meng Yu and he were vying for the same woman; it turned out it was all arranged by the boss.

Shao Yan steeled herself and walked forward with Han Yifei. Things had come to this point, and even if Meng Yu recognized her, she would accept it.

"Excuse me, I'll be there for a moment."

Mr. Cao placed his cocktail glass on the waiter's tray.

He greeted Han Yifei warmly, completely leaving Pei Hong and Meng Yu behind.

"President Han has finally appeared after much anticipation."

Han Yifei smiled, greeted Cao Huande, and then pushed Shao Yan in front of him.

"This is Ms. Shao Yan, the Vice President and Head of Technical Engineering at Fit, whom I told you about. All the procedures you requested were created by her."

Cao Huande's expression changed slightly, clearly indicating that he didn't quite believe Han Yifei's words.

Han Yifei smiled and said, "Mr. Cao, you are an expert in this field. If you don't mind taking a few minutes of my CEO Shao's time to talk to you, would you like?"

Cao Huande was skeptical, so he asked Shao Yan a few professional and academic questions. Shao Yan happened to have in-depth knowledge in this area, so she answered fluently, even better than Cao Huande had expected.

She answered several constructive questions raised by Cao Huande on the spot, and Cao Huande looked pleased and nodded repeatedly.

"I never imagined that Fit would have such a talented person. You guys should make the money."

Cao Huande thought for a moment and said, "I can't stay here for too long. I'll make a decision after I go back."

Han Yifei was not in a hurry and said respectfully, "I will follow Elder Cao's arrangements."

Shao Yan's hand, holding the cocktail glass, was sweating with nervousness.

Having played the role of a behind-the-scenes hero for so long, this is the first time I've shown my face in public.

Han Yifei took a sip of his drink and watched her praise him sincerely: "The boss was right about you."

Just as Shao Yan was about to ask him who the boss was, she saw Huo Xiao slowly come into her field of vision.

For some reason, she looked away immediately, like a cat seeing a mouse, her heart pounding like a drum.

Cao Huande re-entered Pei Hong and Meng Yu's circle.

When Shao Yan saw Huo Xiao join them, a sense of unease instantly welled up inside her.

Han Yifei had just finalized a business deal with Old Cao and was also interested in receiving those who flattered him, so he went off to boast and drink with them.

Cao Huande patted Pei Hong on the shoulder.

"Xiao Pei, I don't understand business matters. I'm getting old and want to retire safely and enjoy my old age."

Pei Hong heard the obvious rejection clearly, but Pei Yiyi was unaware that even her father had been eliminated.

Huo Xiao turned his gaze away from the woman who had looked terrified the moment she saw him.

She looked at Cao Huande with a barely perceptible smile playing on her lips.

"Uncle Cao, are you free tomorrow at noon? I've arranged for Councilor Gao to host a welcome dinner for you."
