Back in Time: I Choose to Love You

Chapter 189: Back

Pei family.

There were many people at the banquet. They were drinking and chatting with each other, displaying the elegance and grace of these upper-class people. Li Qin was looking at Si Ling through the crowd. She was very beautiful today, as if… the person who had fallen into the river and begged for help that day was not her. With a glance, he knew that she was the little princess who deserved to live in a honey pot and be pampered!

He raised his hand and drank the wine in his cup. Brother Yong returned from his conversation with the others and put his arm around his shoulder. Seeing that he was not in high spirits, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

Li Qin shook his head and said, “When did Fifth Master buy this villa? This place is not cheap, right?”

“That’s right! With this set, it’s enough for us to eat and drink for a few years! Fifth Master is really ‘attentive’ to this young lady!” Brother Yong suddenly laughed mockingly as he spoke about Si Ling!

He thought that the older generation had fought tooth and nail for Fifth Master Pei for their entire lives, but in the end, their treatment could not compare to that of a wild girl from outside!

This villa with a good plot of land and a large area was bought by Pei Hong for Si Ling to nurture her fetus. Although he had quite a number of houses in Nanming Harbor, the conditions there were still not comparable to those in the city! He told the public that he bought it to support his retirement, but they all knew that it wasn’t!

Seeing Pei Hong wave at them, the two people with their own thoughts walked over.

Entering the study, Pei Hong pointed at the chairs for them to sit on and lit a cigar for himself to smoke. “I called you over today! There are two things that I need you to do!”

He looked up at Brother Yong. “For the recent cooperation between us and President Li’s family, keep a close eye on it and don’t let anything go wrong! If there are any problems, you have to be diligent!”

Brother Yong looked at Fifth Master Pei and frowned slightly. “Didn’t their family steal a few business deals from Y City last time? Even if it’s a cooperation, why are you being so polite! Can’t you just do your own thing?”

Pei Hong blew out a smoke ring. “I owe their family a favor! Just take it as repayment! Just do as I say. Business has been difficult recently. Having more allies is better than having more competitors!”

Brother Yong knew Fifth Master Pei’s temper and did not say anything more. He nodded to show that he understood!

......

“I’ll have to trouble my brothers for now. When this deal is over, I’ll give everyone a big red packet!” Pei Hong understood the logic of treating his subordinates well. One was one, two was two, but he had to give them enough benefits. Otherwise, who would work hard for him? “Ah Yong, you can go back and do your work!”

Li Qin lowered his head. Before Brother Yong left, he turned his head to look at him. He was deliberately trying to drive him away before talking about the matter!

Pei Hong sat up straight and put down the cigar in his hand. He looked at Li Qin. “How long have you been here?”

Li Qin looked up at him and said respectfully, “It’s been three years, Fifth Master!”

“You were working with Ah Yong previously, and it was not bad! You did well in rescuing Lingling the last time, so I brought you up directly!”

Pei Hong looked at Li Qin. The coldness of a superior made people inexplicably nervous. “I believe you understand that old people like Ah Yong are very dissatisfied with such a move!”
