Chapter 179 I wonder who President Pei's wife is? Those two have really great backs!
After the transnational kidnapping scandal subsided, Pei Weijin returned to China. On his first day at the company, he was naturally surrounded by many media reporters.
Pei Weijin had Meng Yuting select several reputable media platforms that upheld professional ethics and arranged the interview agenda.
Firstly, it was to personally respond to the recent events and express sincere gratitude to all parties involved in the rescue efforts; secondly, it was to announce that the overseas market cooperation strategy has been fully launched, and the results of the cooperation will be showcased in detail through press conferences and other means.
Facing the camera, a reporter asked pointedly: "Mr. Pei, the list of countries your company has officially announced for cooperation has been significantly reduced compared to the original plan, almost halved. Does this mean that the cooperation process has encountered obstacles, or that there are defects in the products that have failed to meet the other party's expectations? In addition, does your company still intend to restart negotiations with the two potential partners, France and Italy?"
Pei Weijin's gaze was sharp and calm as he looked directly at the camera and said, "There is nothing wrong with the product. In the ups and downs of business, there are no absolute enemies. However, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the cooperative relationship with some partners because in this incident, some people may think they have chosen neutrality, but neutrality is sometimes indifference, a silent oppression of the vulnerable."
“The Pei Group is by no means weak, but we also refuse to cooperate with those who waver in their stance. Their indecisiveness and lack of assertiveness will ultimately be reflected in their work efficiency.”
Another reporter was somewhat surprised, feeling that his decision was too frivolous: "President Pei, has this move been discussed and agreed upon by the company's senior management? Losing these partners will undoubtedly result in significant economic losses. Isn't your approach ill-considered? Won't you regret it later?"
Pei Weijin looked in the direction of the voice, his tone cold but firm: "I chose them as partners not because they need us, but because of a win-win vision. I offer opportunities, and our company's absolute confidence in our product technology is enough to satisfy them."
"I believe that they are the ones who should feel regret and remorse after the first round of cooperation."
After speaking, Pei Weijin nodded, turned and left, with Meng Yuting following closely behind.
These remarks caused an uproar among the reporters, who exchanged glances. In the past, when faced with pointed questions, entrepreneurs have mostly responded with humility or even modesty.
The tough stance of the Pei family's leader is truly rare.
Some people shook their heads and sighed: "Young and impetuous, too aggressive. In the business world, one should learn to be more tactful and accept minor losses. Ultimately, achieving cooperation is a victory. It can be resolved through negotiation. If necessary, one can ask the other party to make some concessions. It's a sure-fire deal, why bother with attitude?"
However, many people agreed with Pei Weijin's choice: "Doing business also requires backbone. How can we tolerate being bullied and swallow our anger? Since President Pei took office, the Pei Group's performance has doubled. I believe that with this drive, there is nothing he cannot accomplish. Moreover, he said that he would no longer cooperate with these specific companies, but did not exclude cooperation with other companies in these countries."
The interview video was edited and uploaded online, sparking widespread discussion.
Most netizens are divided into two camps: one camp praises President Pei's stance, while the other camp consists of middle-aged men offering their opinions.
A few netizens commented: "It's so good to be young. President Pei was in Italy the day before yesterday and he's at the company today. Apart from flight time, he's hardly rested. His energy is frightening. If it were me, I would definitely take the opportunity to ask for ten days or half a month off to recover."
At 3 PM, the filming location at Basongcuo Lake.
Lin Xiangyi had just finished her filming for the day and was sitting on a small stool, browsing the latest news about the Pei Group.
When she saw that netizen's comment, she couldn't help but nod in deep agreement: "It's so good to be young."
Just then, Yan Zhuoyu came over after changing her clothes; her face was a little pale from the journey.
She has no scenes to film today. The production is nearing completion, and the parts she hasn't finished are all high-difficulty action scenes, filmed in one continuous shot, which require extremely high physical fitness and condition.
So Director Fu told her to rest today and get used to the environment.
To avoid having to film right away and suffering severe altitude sickness, which would require being sent to the hospital.
Yan Zhuoyu sat down next to Lin Xiangyi and said with a smile, "What do you mean by 'youth is good'? Sister Lin, you are at the age where you should be going out and making your way in the world."
Lin Xiangyi looked at Yan Zhuoyu with a smile and asked with concern, "I heard you had a fever. Why didn't you rest for a couple more days before coming back?"
"fever……?"
Yan Zhuoyu was taken aback. The mention of fever reminded her of a certain shameless patient.
But the fever that Sister Lin mentioned was obviously an excuse that Director Fu or Sister Qiao made for her while she was away from the film set these past two days.
She gave a few perfunctory replies and changed the subject.
Lin Xiangyi was still scrolling through videos when she lowered her voice and asked, "Hey, have you seen the news these past few days that the Pei family member is married?"
Yan Zhuoyu responded softly, "Yes, I saw it."
She knows, she knows all too well; she herself was involved.
The official photo was released with her consent and was blurred, revealing only that she was a woman; no other information was disclosed. Her consent was intended to pave the way for future developments.
Lin Xiangyi muttered, "I wonder who President Pei's wife is. Those two have really good backs."
Yan Zhuoyu straightened her aching back without showing any emotion and asked curiously, "What do you mean by that? How do you know?"
Lin Xiangyi clicked her tongue in amazement: "I roughly estimated their itinerary. One minute they're on a whirlwind cruise, the next they're flying back home, and they still have to work. You can't take that kind of toss without a strong back. If it were me, it would take at least five days to complete those three activities."
She then asked Yan Zhuoyu, "Who do you think Mrs. Pei is? I don't think she's someone from our circle. You've been in Beijing for a long time and know a lot of people, do you have any inside information?"
Yan Zhuoyu coughed twice and shamelessly gave herself a "good person card": "I don't have any inside information, but I think she must be a good person."
Lin Xiangyi: "..."
Of course she knows Mrs. Pei is a good person.
Yan Zhuoyu took out the script and began to study it carefully: "Sister Lin, let's not talk about this anymore. Can you help me familiarize myself with the script and go over the lines? I haven't looked at it for the past two days, and I'm almost out of it."
"Sure, come on, work hard and retire soon!" Lin Xiangyi enthusiastically rehearsed the scene with her.
Before going to bed that night, Yan Zhuoyu received a video call from Pei Weijin as usual.
Along with it came a transfer notification.
She opened her bank card payment record and saw that the money had been transferred by Pei's father, Pei Jincheng.
Yan Zhuoyu tapped the screen lightly with her finger: "1, 2, 3, 4..."
Seeing that she was ignoring him and instead started counting numbers, Pei Weijin asked, "What's wrong?"
“Your dad transferred money to me, and I’m counting how many zeros are at the end.”
Yan Zhuoyu counted the money carefully, both surprised and puzzled: "Two small goals, why did your dad suddenly transfer money to me?"
Pei Weijin chuckled: "Isn't it good to transfer money to you? You'll accept it once it's given."
"What if it was transferred to the wrong person?" Yan Zhuoyu asked uncertainly.
Pei Weijin didn't seem to care much about Pei Jincheng's situation, and casually said, "Then he should explain to my mother who else this money could be transferred to besides his daughter-in-law."
