Chapter 363 Calculation
There was a hint of calculation in Shen Zhuo's eyes, his gaze was deep, as if he was assessing the potential risks and benefits of this proposal.
He responded calmly: "Mr. Lin, I understand the importance of this bidding. The Shen family will participate, but we must ensure the concealment of all actions, especially the relationship with the Pei family."
Lin Yeken looked at Shen Zhuo, his eyes shining with satisfaction, as if he had seen the expected scene. "Mr. Shen, this bidding will be the first step in our cooperation. I believe that your wisdom and prudence will bring us victory."
Shen Zhuo's expression remained motionless, but in his heart he had begun to plan every detail of this bidding.
He knew that this was not only a competition for land, but also a battle in the business world, involving not only economic interests, but also the power and influence between families.
He stood up slowly and nodded politely to Lin Yeken: "Mr. Lin, I will be ready. Our cooperation starts from here."
The two ended their meeting in the teahouse.
In the morning, Pei Jingchuan had already gone to the company early to handle the emergency meeting.
The atmosphere at home was relatively quiet, with only Jiang Yuzhu and Pei Yanqing enjoying breakfast in the spacious and bright dining room.
The decoration of the restaurant is elegant and simple. The flowers bloom like a sea in the courtyard outside the window, and the sunlight shines on the table through the window, adding a touch of warm color to the interior.
Pei Yanqing was sitting at the dining table, holding a fork in his hand and poking at the food on the plate absentmindedly.
His eyes wandered from time to time, as if he was thinking too much and was not fully paying attention to the deliciousness of breakfast.
Jiang Yuzhu tasted her breakfast calmly, her behavior was elegant.
She noticed Pei Yanqing's appearance and asked softly: "Yanqing, you seemed a little unhappy last night. What happened? You can tell me."
Pei Yanqing was silent for a moment, and there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
Finally, he lowered his head and said with a slightly cold voice: "This matter has nothing to do with you, sister-in-law."
Jiang Yuzhu smiled slightly, her attitude was gentle and she had no intention of blaming her.
She put down the tableware in her hands, her eyes fell softly on Pei Yanqing, and her voice was soft and caring: "Yanqing, I can understand your thoughts. Sometimes, when you say what is in your heart, you feel much more relaxed. I majored in Psychology, maybe I can be of some help.”
After hearing Jiang Yuzhu's words, Pei Yanqing was obviously touched, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.
However, his pride and inner struggles made it difficult for him to completely let down his guard.
His voice was slightly firm, but not without embarrassment: "Sister-in-law, I can handle it myself, you don't need to worry about it."
Pei Yanqing's thoughts seemed to drift to last night's events, and his eyes became deeper.
Not only did he apologize to Jiang Yuzhu in his heart, but he also reflected on his behavior last night.
He began to realize that Mengling, as a girl, might have her own concerns and pressures, which he had not fully considered before.
Pei Yanqing sighed softly, looking a little guilty: "Sister-in-law, I may have gone too far yesterday. As a member of the family, I acted in such a drastic way."
Jiang Yuzhu's expression remained gentle, as if he could understand Pei Yanqing's inner struggle.
"Yan Qing, it's normal for people to lose control of their emotions sometimes. We can't go back to the past and change things, but we can always learn how to handle the present and the future better. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't force it, but I hope you can handle this well and don't let it get to you."
Pei Yanqing looked up at Jiang Yuzhu. Although his pride still made it difficult for him to fully open his heart, he could feel Jiang Yuzhu's care and support, which made the burden in his heart slightly lighter.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, I will." Pei Yanqing's voice became firmer. It was obvious that he had made a decision in his heart to face and solve this problem.
After breakfast, Pei Yanqing did not stay at home for too long. He quickly put away the tableware and nodded to Jiang Yuzhu, expressing a silent thanks.
Full of determination, he decided to apologize to Meng Ling in person to resolve the misunderstanding and conflict between the two.
Pei Yanqing walked to the door, put on his coat, took a deep breath, and adjusted his emotions.
His expression was more determined than when he had just eaten, and his eyes revealed a clear purpose.
After walking out of the house, he walked straight to the car parked in the yard, started the engine, and slowly drove out of the gate of Pei's house.
Pei Yanqing's car slowly stopped in front of Meng Ling's house.
He stopped in the car for a while to collect his thoughts, then got out of the car, took a deep breath, and walked towards Mengling's home.
Under the sunlight, his figure looked a little nervous.
Meng Ling's door opened, and Pei Yanqing knocked on the door, her heart beating faster.
Soon, Meng Ling appeared at the door. She looked a little surprised, but with a smile on her face.
"Yan Qing, why are you here?" Meng Ling's voice was filled with doubts.
Pei Yanqing stood at Meng Ling's door. Although he was nervous, his eyes were firm and he looked more decisive than before.
"Mengling, my behavior yesterday was too impulsive. I should listen to your explanation first and should not leave you alone."
Mengling looked at Pei Yanqing, her expression was gentle, and a trace of joy flashed in her eyes.
"Yan Qing, I don't blame you. I also made mistakes in the first place. I should have communicated with you more. I'm glad you can say this."
Pei Yanqing took a deep breath, and there was a hint of calmness in his voice: "Mengling, I really like you, and I don't want my impulsiveness to affect our relationship."
A warm smile appeared on Mengling's face, and she replied softly: "I know, Yan Qing, I like you too, let's work hard together, okay?"
Mengling smiled and suggested softly: "Yan Qing, let's go to a nearby cafe and sit. The environment there is very good and we can have a good chat."
Pei Yanqing nodded, his heart filled with warmth.
The two walked to Pei Yanqing's car together, and then drove to a cafe not far away.
Along the way, the conversation between the two gradually increased and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
After arriving at the cafe, they chose a window seat.
Sunlight shines on the table through the glass windows, adding warmth and comfort to this small space.
The surrounding environment was quiet and elegant, making the two of them talk more comfortably.
Mengling began to share her family background, with a hint of sadness in her voice.
"Yan Qing, actually my parents divorced when I was very young, and they both had their own new families. I live by myself most of the time. Although they give me living expenses every month, our There was very little communication.”
