Company policy dictates that departing employees must wait one month to complete their handover procedures.

Jiang Shutong had many projects on her hands, so it was impossible for her to resign on the same day.

Thinking of this, Bai Ruwei's frustration dissipated somewhat.

She'll just put up with her for another month.

A month later, I won't have to see Jiang Shutong's annoying face anymore.

After Liu Guixiang slunk back to her building, she was ambushed by Wang Dahai and two thugs.

Wang Dahai said fiercely, "What, you don't want to give me the person now, and you don't want to refund the deposit either?"

Liu Guixiang shuddered. "No, I really wanted to marry my eldest daughter to you, otherwise I wouldn't have called you over that night... But then something unexpected happened, didn't it? Please give me some more time..."

"If all else fails, you can marry your youngest daughter to me. She's not as pretty as your eldest daughter, and her figure isn't as good, but she'll do."

She was average in figure and appearance, but she was amazing in bed, and he still misses her to this day.

Liu Guixiang's expression changed. "That won't do, Mr. Wang. My youngest daughter is still young and in school..."

Wang Dahai scoffed sarcastically, "She's not young anymore, and I think she's quite skilled in bed..."

"Mr. Wang, I really can't. My youngest daughter already has a boyfriend. Please give me three more days, and I promise I'll pay you back..."

"Fine, I'll give you three more days. You must pay me back double the money as a penalty for breach of contract. Otherwise, I'll find another chance to taste your youngest daughter..."

After saying that, Wang Dahai left with his men.

Liu Guixiang turned pale with fright and quickly took out her phone to call Jiang Muqing. "Qing'er, I really can't get the money from your sister. I went to her company today, but I didn't get the money and I even lost her job."

Jiang Muqing, who had just finished class at school, was overjoyed to hear that Jiang Shutong had lost her job. "Mom, it's okay. Anyway, I've made up with Mingze now."

Liu Guixiang's eyes lit up. "Really? Qing'er, you're amazing!"

After saying that, she hesitated for a moment before adding, "Oh, right, I owed Wang Dahai 20,000 yuan before, and now I have to pay him back 40,000 yuan. Since you've made up with Mingze, you should ask Mingze for the money back..."

This amount of money should be a small matter for Xu Mingze.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Muqing's face immediately fell.

Wang Dahai has become her shadow.

Who can imagine the extent of her psychological trauma when she turned on the light that night and saw a pot-bellied, bald old man on top of her...

Not to mention that Xu Mingze almost broke up with her because of this.

Jiang Muqing's tone turned cold. "Mom, let's not pay the money back. Let him marry my sister if he can't. If he can't, let him go ask my sister for the money himself..."

After getting back together with Xu Mingze, he gave her a lot of pocket money, so she can now enjoy a life of luxury again.

But she had no intention of giving 40,000 yuan to that old man, Wang Dahai.

Why should Jiang Shutong have to pay the breach of contract penalty for breaking off the engagement?

Liu Guixiang wanted to say something more, "But..."

Jiang Muqing had already hung up the phone.

-

After Jiang Shutong got off work, she saw Xu Mingze again at the company entrance.

She really had a headache.

She had no choice but to take out her phone again and call Pei Yichen.

On the other side is Boyu Group.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was stagnant, as if even the air was about to freeze.

The executives on either side of the conference table all had their heads down, not daring to look at the man sitting in the head seat.

Pei Yichen was flipping through the marketing department's monthly report, his brows furrowed, his voice as cold as ice, "Our competitors have already reached a 17% market share, and you're still standing still. Am I keeping you around just to put you on display?"

The executives didn't dare to breathe, fearing they would be the next to be called out.

Suddenly, a jarring cell phone ring broke the silence.

Who's so bold as to leave their phone on during a meeting with President Pei? Are they courting death?

Everyone slowly turned to look in the direction of the ringing phone—Pei Yichen's phone on the table.

Pei Yichen was about to refuse the call, but after seeing the nickname "Mrs. Pei" in the contact, he got up and walked to the window to answer it.

A woman's voice, sounding somewhat anxious and worried, came from the other end of the phone, "Mr. Pei, are you working overtime tonight?"

"What's up?"

"If you don't have to work overtime, can you come pick me up now?" She quickly added, "If you have to work overtime, then forget it, I can go home by myself."

"Wait, I'll be there in five minutes."

After hanging up the phone, Pei Yichen picked up his suit jacket from the chair and said, "The meeting is over. Send the revised proposals from each department to my email."

He then pushed open the door and left.

The executives breathed a sigh of relief only after the fearsome figure had completely disappeared from the conference room.

I'm finally alive again.

Working under President Pei requires exceptional mental fortitude; he exudes an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Xu Mingze waited downstairs at Zhitu Building for two days without seeing Jiang Shutong, but unexpectedly he finally saw her today.

He walked over with undisguised joy on his face. "Tongtong, I thought you quit your job to avoid me."

Jiang Shutong found it somewhat amusing, "You take yourself way too seriously."

"But my mom came to the company and made a scene today, which really got me fired. So you don't need to come looking for me here anymore."

"Auntie is causing trouble here? What's she doing?" Xu Mingze was somewhat surprised, then said gently, "Tongtong, it's okay. You can come work at the Xu Group. Anyway, after we get married, you'll be helping me manage the company..."

Jiang Shutong is very capable at work. Sometimes when he encounters a problem at work, he always finds a solution after talking to her.

At work, she always gives him new ideas and inspiration.

This is something that Jiang Muqing, that clueless little girl, can't compare to at all.

Jiang Shutong sneered, "Marriage? Xu Mingze, have you lost your memory? We've already broken up."

Xu Mingze reached out and grabbed her arm. "Tongtong, can you stop making a scene? I've already told you, I've realized my true feelings. The person I love is you, not Qing'er..."

"Oh? You love me, so I should be grateful and come back to you?"

Xu Mingze pursed his lips and remained silent. Shouldn't it be like this?

Jiang Shutong shook off his hand. "I'll say it again, I'm already married."

Xu Mingze's brows furrowed with impatience. "Enough, Tongtong. You keep saying you're married, but who did you marry?"

He knew very well that Jiang Shutong had no other men around her in the past two years.

Everyone in the company knew that she had a boyfriend who was handsome, rich, gentle, and considerate.

No man would be so presumptuous as to pursue her.

Suddenly, a deep, magnetic voice rang out, "You married me."
