The Most Majestic You
Chapter 3 Part 1
Qianxi and Xu Jimo agreed upon when and where to meet. Afterwhich she threw it to the back of her mind. Since she never took a finance course in university, her daily work was difficult and tedious for her. Though nobody demanded her to accomplish much, she felt compelled to do some actual work as an employee of Yinyuan. Thus, in addition to her own work for her own department, she spent time learning from other departments. She worked overtime with other employees, occasionally even overnight.
She had been working overtime for a whole week. She didn't give much thought when she agreed to her dad to return home for dinner that day.
Her mom came early to pick her up from work and took her to get her hair done and do her makeup. Her mom picked out a sweet and elegant skirt for her with an entire set of matching jewelry before heading home.
Qianxi blinked her false eyelashes and asked, "Mom, which uncle is coming tonight. Why am I dressed so formally?"
"En, your Uncle Pei is coming."
Qianxi mentally prepared herself. She was an expert at playing the role of the obedient girl in front of her elders.
The guest hadn't arrived yet when she sat down at the dining table back home. She was still relaxed and asked her dad randomly. "I have a friend called Qin Xiao who's planning to establish a streaming platform and I heard she sent proposal to Yinyuan. Dad, do you plan to invest?"
"I don't know about it. You have to ask your Aunt Zhang."
"......Is that so." Qianxi turned quiet. The women managers in the venture capital business were all industry elites. Their faces were covered with makeup with red lipstick and spoke to everyone as if it were business negotiation. Qianxi couldn't stand conversing with people like "Aunt Zhang," she especially had no intention to ever become like one of them.
As she was deep in thought, Uncle Pei arrived with his son, an outstanding man.
Qianxi glanced at the man and felt a chill down her spine. As expected, her mom quietly introduced the young man, "Your Uncle Pei's son already founded an investment fund while in university. Two of the companies he invested in have gone public already. What were you doing when you were in university? I asked you to invest in stocks and all you did was lose it all."
"Mom!" Qianxi responded in irritation. "I made a profit later, ok. I earned quite a lot!"
"How much could you make?" Her mom sneered, then quickly nudged her as the guests took their seats. "Come greet your Uncle Pei, hurry."
Qianxi held her displeasure and showed a sweet, empty smile. "How are you, Uncle Pei."
Pei Shiqin was busy building his business when he was young, which didn't leave much time for his family. He had a son when he was much older. His son was twenty-six this year, but he was already close to sixty. He looked very amiable when he smiled. "Qianxi has grown ever more beautiful."
Qianxi smiled in embarrassment. "......Thank you, Uncle Pei."
Her mom hinted with her eyes that there was another person she had yet to greet. Qianxi refused with her own eyes. His age was similar to hers. Did her mom want her to call him uncle? Her mom expressed her disappointment with a stern expression before turning back to entertain Pei Shiqin.
Pei Shaoqing was sizing up the girl, who seemed to be at odds with her mother, across from him. Her face, adorned with delicately applied make-up, was slightly red and she seemed to be a bit shy.
