The next day, when it was time to go to work, Pei Donglai did not show up in the office. After Wu Jing called, his phone was turned off. At noon, Pei Donglai's phone was still turned off.
"Xiao Bao, go over to Mr. Pei's house and see if anything is wrong?" Wu Jing called Bao Desheng anxiously.
Bao Desheng knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no movement inside. After asking Heizi, he hurriedly called the unlocking king and opened the door.
After entering, he saw that the room was in a mess, with wine bottles everywhere. Pei Donglai was lying on the ground with a little blood on the floor.
"President Pei, what's wrong with you?" Bao Desheng helped Pei Donglai up.
Pei Donglai woke up in a daze, "Xiao Bao, why are you here?" Pei Donglai had nothing serious, but his stomach hurt from the alcohol.
"You go back, I'm fine," Pei Donglai said.
After charging, I turned on my phone and saw more than 20 missed calls, half of which were from Wu Jing, a few from Bao Desheng, and the rest from Lin Xiaojie, Heizi, Li Yunfeng, Li Zixuan, and Zhang Yutong.
Pei Donglai picked up the phone and wanted to call Zhang Yutong back. At this moment, Zhang Yutong must be worried, but in order to prevent the other party from having any illusions, Pei Donglai decided to give up.
In the evening, Zhang Yufei called, "Lao Pei, how are you? Are you alive?"
"You're very aggressive, I won't play with you anymore."
"Who told you to be so mean? Don't talk nonsense. I was waiting for you there last night. Come quickly. If you don't want to be beaten, don't bring any women tonight, except my sister."
"Yufei, I'm not coming. I swear I won't drink with you in the future."
"You must come. If you don't come, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
"Repent if you regret it, bye." Pei Donglai hung up the phone. He knew that Zhang Yufei came to him on behalf of Zhang Yutong. Meeting his sister was equivalent to meeting his sister. Since he agreed to Zhang's father, he could only go one way. black.
Pei Donglai took out the remaining two packs of instant noodles and cooked them. At the end of the day, he only drank water and his stomach was growling with hunger.
As soon as I finished eating, I heard a knock on the door, "Who is it?"
"I, Lao Pei, open the door quickly," Zhang Yufei said outside the door.
"How do you know I live here?" Pei Donglai had the impression that Zhang Yufei had never been here.
Zhang Yufei stared at Pei Donglai with bulging eyes, without answering, walked straight in, sat on the sofa, crossed her legs, and asked with a domineering look: "Lao Pei, you really want to break up with our sisters, right?" ?”
"Looking at me like this, can I still go out for a drink?" Pei Donglai still had obvious injuries on his head and face.
"I'm a very principled person. I don't hit people in the face. Who hit you in the face?"
"Kuroko".
"It proves that you deserve a beating. I'm not the only one who dislikes you."
"You see my embarrassment, you can leave."
"I'm here to talk to you, why don't I go anywhere?"
"Why do you dump my sister? Pei Donglai, if you can't explain clearly today, I will hit you on the head." Zhang Yufei took out two bottles of red wine from her bag and opened them.
Pei Donglai sat down slowly and said, "Yufei, you have seen it, what else do I have to say?"
"I don't understand, you just fall in love with that bitch? She's so dusty, I feel sick when I see her. Fortunately, she walks fast, otherwise I would beat her as well," Zhang Yufei said angrily.
"Yufei, why haven't you gone to Chengdu yet?" Pei Donglai changed the subject.
"Lao Pei, you answer my question first, and then I'll tell you."
"Yufei, answer my question and I will tell you the truth."
In the end, Zhang Yufei couldn't resist Pei Donglai and told her family affairs.
It turned out that Zhang's father's investment in Hainan failed. During the construction of the hotel, a major safety accident occurred. The construction was forcibly stopped, and a lot of funds were tied up in the project.
In addition, competition in the hotel industry has become fierce in recent years, and business is not as good as before. Therefore, in order to obtain financial support, Zhang's father invited the Guo family to invest in the hotel and prepared to build five-star hotels in Yunnan and other places to turn things around.
The Guo family mainly deals in energy, coal mines, etc., and has nothing to do with hotels. Mr. Guo has long seen the embarrassment of the Zhang family and suddenly found someone to run a partnership. He must have made such a move because he was losing money. Who would be so stupid as to be alone? Give the money to two people.
But Guo Dehao liked Zhang Yutong in one part, and made trouble with Mr. Guo in another, saying that he wanted to start a business and invest in a hotel. In the end, he couldn't resist his only son, so he gave Guo Dehao several hundred million to test the waters.
When Zhang's father was still alive, he made an agreement with Mr. Guo that if the Zhang family did not marry their daughter, they would withdraw their capital. In order to keep the funds, Zhang's father agreed with Mr. Guo.
Guo Dehao invested all the money he earned into Zhang's hotel, accounting for 40%25 of the shares and becoming the largest shareholder.
For Pei Donglai, several hundred million was an astronomical figure that was out of reach. He would never be able to come up with so much money in his lifetime.
"Lao Pei, please don't break up with my sister because of this, okay? I know you still love my sister deeply."
"Yufei, what's the use of love? If you love someone, you should make her happy. If you can't do it yourself, why bother?" Pei Donglai said after drinking a glass of red wine.
"Do you know how my sister has been spending the past two days? How sad is she that you broke up with her so suddenly?" Zhang Yufei said with tears streaming down her face.
Pei Donglai felt sad, but now he gradually saw clearly that Bai Fumei was not so easy to marry. The reality was so cruel. Having her once was enough to miss her for the rest of his life.
"Yufei, your sister and I are destined to have a close relationship. I believe she will get better after a while. Please spend more time with her during this time."
"Lao Pei, actually I also know that you are doing this for my sister's good, but I still don't support you doing this."
"Okay, everything will pass. The sun will rise tomorrow. I'll take you back."
After seeing Zhang Yufei to the door of the villa, Pei Donglai turned and left. After Zhang Yufei entered, Pei Donglai stopped and looked at the window with the light on, which was Zhang Yutong's bedroom. At this moment, she was not sleeping either. can not sleep.
Pei Donglai took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. When the pack of cigarettes was finished and the light went out, he slowly left.
In the late autumn night, the dim street lights were filled with drizzle, and the cold wind blew in. Pei Donglai shivered constantly. He was both physically and mentally cold. Bits and pieces of him and Zhang Yutong were still stored in his mind, like pages and pages. journal.
If he could do it all over again, Pei Donglai would rather never meet Zhang Yutong. If life were just like the first meeting, why would the autumn wind be so sad?
Heizi's call interrupted Pei Donglai's memories, "Donglai, are you sleeping? Come have a drink, just me and Yunfeng."
"I won't drink anymore. I've had enough. You can drink."
