This sneaky little rascal!
Thirty-seven varieties!
The sad emotion that big beauty Pei had felt because of their temporary separation vanished.
Pei Dundun: “When I have a hundred, I’ll let Daddy eat first.”
So filial, let Lu Qin eat first.
Pei Rong confiscated the glass jar: “Just collecting isn’t enough. You also need to learn a subject called medicine. You’ll go be a little special agent, and Daddy will help you collect. When you’re eighteen and have learned the principles of pharmaceuticals, then come to Daddy to take away the jar.”
Puzzled, Pei Dundun thought for a moment, alright, he would understand when he grew up a bit more.
After Pei Ge fell asleep, big beauty Pei lit a lamp and stitched the words “Special Agent” crookedly onto his coat.
The next day, Pei Ge put on the cool denim jacket with medals embroidered on the inside, wore a deer antler hat, grabbed Orange, and got ready to go.
Pei Rong: “Are you ready to go?”
Pei Ge: “Wait for Uncle Jiang.”
Soon, Jiang Yan came over with a medical kit, helped Pei Ge patch up the almost disappearing swelling, carefully patched up a piece of gauze, and dabbed a bit of red medicine on it, making it look real.
Pei Rong frowned: “Wasn’t the swelling supposed to go down? Why do you still need to apply medicine?”
Jiang Yan: “Yes, but this is what Pei Ge requested.”
Pei Rong: “...He’s really afraid of getting beaten up.”
The method of acting pitiful, Pei Dundun had figured it out.
Thinking about how much trouble the little child had caused over the past year, how much he had acted pitifully, Pei Rong took a deep breath.
Ah, it’s all in the past now.
Pei Rong got hold of a packaging box for a printer, which happened to be just the right size to fit Dundun and Orange.
He padded the box with a pillow and put it in the trunk.
Jiang Yan: “Have you thought it through?”
Pei Rong: “Yes.”
Jiang Yan: “Alright then, when my nephew becomes the heir of the Lu family, I’ll live a good life too.”
Pei Rong: “You’re so optimistic. Have you forgotten the seven-day return policy?” (T/N: He’s joking that Pei Ge will be returned in 7 days.)
Dr. Jiang raised an eyebrow and smiled without saying anything.
Pei Rong had to stay at the sanatorium, which was a certain distance from the center of City S. Because of this, Jiang Yan applied to start work early.
His senior brother’s hospital was only ten minutes away from the Lu Building.
If Pei Dundun needed anything, he could rush over immediately.
Ten in the morning.
Pei Rong drove to the entrance of Lu Building and placed Dundun and the cat inside the packaging box for the printer.
Pei Ge sat on a pillow against the box wall, with a distance to the edge.
Orange was placed beside him, quietly grooming itself.
Pei Rong wore the express delivery uniform provided by the blond hair little brother, Pei Rong opened a video call with Pei Dundun, struggling to lift the dozens of pounds of boxes. He smiled and said, “Pei Ge, the operation has begun.”
This kid shouldn’t be returned because of bad reviews, right?
Pei Dundun put the straw of the milk bottle in his mouth and nodded, making muffled sounds of agreement.
With two security insiders, it was easy to enter through the main gate. They were always the ones responsible for receiving the deliveries. Therefore, when Pei Rong entered with the unsealed box, it didn’t raise any suspicion.
He stopped in front of the CEO’s private elevator, his expression under the brim of his cap was as calm as ink and wash paintings. Without much hesitation, he pressed his thumb onto the fingerprint scanner to unlock it.
If, if his fingerprint data had been deleted, then... failing to achieve the goal, he would retreat, and never come back.
The high-end elevator responded quickly, giving Pei Rong no time to feel nervous or regretful. As soon as his fingertip touched it, the elevator doors slid open to both sides.
Smooth and swift, just like the silent passing of the past two years.
Like some unspeakable vow of silence.
The inside of the elevator was clean and tidy, with a faint and fresh scent of gardenias.
Pei Rong suddenly felt a bit warm on his face. He pressed the 27th floor, put the box inside, opened it, pinched Pei Dundun’s cheek, and smiled, “Son, remember our mission, Dad is waiting for you.”
He had to encourage Pei Ge like this. Given the little child’s penchant for mischief, this might be able to keep him from causing trouble and wanting to go home for a while.
Just like the matter of raising a mouse, from discovering the mouse nest to the toy room, sneaking to feed the mouse every day, and closing the door for Orange to play...
Perhaps he inherited Lu Qin’s business style. Quiet in the early stage, then striking when the time was right. Pei Dundun was naturally able to stay calm and quietly misbehave, and then deliver a fatal blow to his old father.
Pei Dundun bit down on the straw, summarizing his fast-track mission: find Daddy Lu a date, then report back, and go home.
Slow-track tasks: stay for 20 days, wait for the stock to rise, then return home.
He hoped Daddy Lu would hurry up and go on a blind date.
As the elevator closed, Pei Rong walked out while calling Secretary Gao.
27th floor.
In order to ensure his own stability at headquarters, Secretary Gao didn’t dare to mention Pei Rong’s stocks. This was a minefield set by Lu Qin. Bringing it up would either lead to promotion or dismissal, and he wasn’t willing to gamble.
After all, he relied on his work ability to make a living, not by pimping.
Strictly speaking, once Pei Rong left, his task was over.
After Pei Rong’s stocks suffered heavy losses, there was no other movement. Secretary Gao was unsure of what to do.
For the company, this wave of stock price decreases was a normal business fluctuation; it could only be said that Mr. Pei’s timing was unfortunate.
Thinking about how he had once said, “Investing in Lu’s stocks will never lose money,” if Mr. Pei misunderstood his investment method, Secretary Gao felt a bit guilty.
Now that his work was back on track, would it be alright to mention it to President Lu?
Lu Qin didn’t even lift his head, opening a new document. “Do you have something to say?”
“No.”
Secretary Gao regained his senses and backed out. Suddenly, the phone in his pocket vibrated.
It was an unknown number. Secretary Gao answered.
“Secretary Gao, go to the elevator immediately and wait for a box for Lu Qin.”
It was Pei Rong’s voice, sounding quite cheerful.
The next moment, he heard the elevator arrive at the floor, accompanied by the opening chime.
In Secretary Gao’s mind, thoughts of surprises like roses flashed by.
But when he saw what was in the box, he froze in place, even beginning to doubt life itself.
