Fang Li covered the box immediately and said, "Don't tell anyone."

Amid everyone's puzzled gazes, she hurried to the office, came to Pei Qing's desk, and placed the red velvet box in front of him.

Pei Qing understood immediately, "That person again?"

"It should be." Fang Li frowned slightly, not knowing why that person kept giving her gifts. "This time there was also a note inside, asking me out tomorrow."

Pei Qing picked it up and saw that it was exactly as she said, with the exact address written on it.

"Universal Studios doesn't seem to be far from the company."

"You mean, let me go out and meet him?"

Pei Qing put down the note, his voice was exceptionally calm and rational. Since he founded the company, his prestige has been growing day by day.

Pei Qingzao is no longer the assistant he used to be, but a real superior.

"Just go and meet him, and see what he wants to do. Don't be afraid, I will go with you."

A smile suddenly spread across the man's eyes, dispelling his previous indifference. Fang Li blushed when she saw it, "Who wants you to come with me! I can do this kind of thing myself."

Although she said so, Fang Li did not refuse Pei Qing to go with her.

The next day, she went to Universal Studios.

The person who left the note in the gift box made an appointment at an old record store.

Fang Li took some effort to find the record store, and then she met an unexpected person.

"It's been a long time since we last met. You're still the same as before, you haven't changed at all."

The man in a suit had a gentle smile on his face, but because his face was too thin, he did not look approachable.

Instead, it gives people a sense of déjà vu as if they are telling lies.

Fang Li concealed her shock and said, "Brother Yizhen, didn't you go abroad?"

"In recent years, I decided to return to China for development. It just so happened that when I had a project that I was in contact with in China, I came back."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Fang Li sat down awkwardly, drank a sip of tea, and for a long time she didn't know what to say to the person in front of her.

Fu Yizheng was her childhood friend.

But because of my family's request, I went abroad very early and there has been no news for all these years. If there was any affection between us back then, it is gone now.

What can two complete strangers talk about when they sit together?

"This should be a gift from you." Fang Li put down the cup, suddenly remembered the business, and took out the red velvet box, "It's too expensive, I can't accept it."

Fu Yizhen looked at her straight in the eye, "Why can't you accept it?"

"because……"

"Our families are old friends, and we have grown up together. It would be too hurtful to refuse such a small gift."

Fang Li felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. Fu Yizheng's direct gaze made her uncomfortable, but he said nothing and just brought up their childhood friendship.

This way, even if she wanted to refuse, she wouldn't have a reason.

Just when she was in a dilemma, the door of the record store opened and a tall and handsome figure walked in.

"I think it's really hard for her to accept gifts from other men right now, so please take it back."

"Pei Qing, you're here." Fang Li breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had taken a reassurance pill.

Sure enough, no matter what happened, as long as Pei Qing was there, she would not be afraid or nervous.

Fu Yizhen looked directly at Pei Qing, "Who are you?"

"He's my boyfriend." Fang Li took Pei Qing's arm and smiled, "Brother Yizhen, you came back so suddenly that you may not know that I already have someone I like."

"Now all we need is my parents' consent, and then we can get married. You will bless me, right?"

Fu Yizheng's eyes darkened and he clenched his fists under the table.

Fang Li is a smart and sensible woman.

She was trying to dissuade him in this seemingly polite way. She had already seen through his intention, but she would not accept it.

Because Fang Li already has someone better than him in her mind.

The burning jealousy almost tore his sanity apart. Fu Yizheng could no longer remain calm. He pursed his lips and said, "If your uncle and aunt don't agree, then it means that this person is not suitable for you."

"You have been like this since you were a child. You don't care about anything and only care about what you want. But what you want may not be suitable for you."

Without waiting for Fang Li to react, he got up and left.

In the end, the meeting ended in a bad mood.

On the way back, Fang Li explained her relationship with Fu Yizheng to Pei Qing.

Although she didn't ask, she knew he cared.

"I only knew him when we were kids." While Pei Qing stopped the car, Fang Li's hand quietly climbed onto his arm and gently pulled, "I didn't tell you before because I didn't know he would come back. You won't blame me, will you?"

Pei Qing said nothing.

She lost her initial composure and became a little anxious, "Pei Qing, you are not really angry, are you..."

Before he could finish his words, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and then his lips were covered.

The fresh breath filled her head. Fang Li felt dizzy from the kiss and felt that Pei Qing was more ferocious than before.

As expected... I'm still jealous.

But she hadn't forgotten that she was in the car.

She tried her best to push the man away, "Not here... We'll be discovered in the parking lot."

"No, I'm here." Pei Qing reached out and pulled down the curtain.

Everything went dark in front of my eyes in an instant, I lost my vision, and other feelings suddenly became obvious.

When everything was over, Fang Li's hands were too tired to lift.

She hit Pei Qing angrily, "What are you doing? Who told you to mess around in the car?"

"I've drawn the curtains. No one will see."

"That's not what I'm talking about! If someone sees me, I'll be so embarrassed!"

Pei Qing took a long time to coax the angry Fang Li into calmness.

After that, Fang Li paid close attention to news from home, fearing that Fu Yizheng would go and tell her parents something.

Mr. and Mrs. Fang have always liked Fu Yizheng.

If he showed interest, her parents would most likely not reject this perfect son-in-law.

Fortunately, she paid attention for two days and didn't see anything.

Just when Fang Li felt relieved and thought Fu Yichen had given up, an order they had prepared for a long time was snatched away.

The partner called Pei Qing early in the morning and apologized on the phone: "I'm sorry, I thought about it and realized that my experience in your company is still too shallow."

"Even with Ye's help as a guarantor, there is no guarantee that the building can be built. In order to prevent accidents, I still prefer to cooperate with an old company with qualifications."

The words were very decisive, not giving them any chance at all.

Pei Qing's brows furrowed.

If it was just this one call, he wouldn't have taken it to heart, but then, similar calls came one after another, as if they had been made an appointment.

The content of the conversations, without exception, was all about changes.

The company held an emergency meeting, and Ye Nanzhou also attended.

"There must be someone behind the scenes planning this." Ye Nanzhou was extremely confident, "Otherwise it would be impossible for so many people to change their minds overnight."
