The boss's wife is here!

There was still half a month of downtime before filming for the second episode of the show.

Pei Yanchuan planned to use this time to deal with the fleas that kept hopping around in front of him and Xu Wang.

That day, Pei Yanchuan arrived at the company and had barely sat down at his desk when a clamor of angry shouts came from the corridor outside.

"You ungrateful son, get out here!"

"How could you scheme against your own father like this! Are you even human?"

"Pei Yanchuan, you've gone too far. That was our family's entire savings!"

"Pei Yanchuan, come out! You dare do it but won't own up to it?"

There was more than a middle-aged man's voice in the corridor; there were also the voices of a young man and a young woman.

"President Pei." Assistant Yang knocked lightly on the office door.

"Come in."

"Pei Yanchuan, Mr. Pei, young master Pei, and Miss Pei have been escorted out by security." Assistant Yang placed the documents in his hands on the desk as he reported.

"How much did they lose this time?" Pei Yanchuan took a sip of coffee and asked casually.

"According to our investigation, Pei Yanchuan sold off a great deal of real estate for this plot of land. His losses this time should be around one billion." Assistant Yang opened his tablet, displaying information on several properties. Pei Yanchuan really had suffered a double loss this time.

To raise more funds, Pei Father had sold many properties under his name at rock-bottom prices. Pei Yanchuan was not one to turn down money, so he had used the money in his own account to buy them all, then gifted every one of them to Xu Wang.

"The rent should be enough for Xu Wang's spending money," Pei Yanchuan said mildly after glancing at the final amount.

Assistant Yang's mouth twitched at that. How had he never noticed his boss had the potential to become so lovestruck?

That was the rent from two entire buildings, not even counting the other properties, such as villas. All that money was merely spending money for the boss's wife.

He really had grown tired of saying the word "jealous."

Meanwhile, back at the villa, Xu Wang had discovered his left eyelid was twitching as soon as he got up. It still had not stopped after he finished eating.

Xu Wang sat meditating before the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, trying to soothe his left eyelid, but it seemed to twitch even more vigorously.

"A twitching left eye means wealth, a twitching right eye means disaster. This means someone's about to give me money." Xu Wang reached up and touched his left eyelid. It was twitching very rapidly.

Xu Wang took out his phone to pass the time. The first trending topic pushed to his phone was Pei Father causing a scene at Pei Corporation Group.

Frowning, Xu Wang tapped on the video. In it, Pei Father, Mu Tingting, Pei Feng, and Pei Yan were being stopped outside by Pei Corporation Group's security guards, their faces twisted with rage.

Vicious words poured from the mouths of all four family members.

Watching this, Xu Wang suddenly remembered something.

This scene seemed to have appeared in the original novel too. The main couple's first episode had received rave reviews, and during the break after filming, this controversy had erupted at Pei Corporation. It was not just the controversy over this video, but also the scandal surrounding Pei Yanchuan that night.

After everything broke, Zhong Ran had been the only one to speak up for Pei Yanchuan. The timing of his statement in the novel had also been very convenient: he had barely spoken before Pei Corporation Group released its evidence, as though he had gotten advance word of something.

It was also because of that statement that Zhong Ran's fans and uninformed netizens believed he and Pei Yanchuan were especially close. Some even dug up their childhood photos and concluded that the two were childhood sweethearts.

But Pei Yanchuan's scandal had actually been Pei Yan's doing. She had hired an Omega to pose as a beta and infiltrate Pei Corporation Group, all to find an opportunity to ruin Pei Yanchuan's reputation, preferably making the old man despise him.

Xu Wang spun his phone in his hand and narrowed his eyes. Pei Yan, is it? Very good. You've successfully caught my attention.

Xu Wang picked up the spare car keys in the entryway and strode out of the villa.

Xu Wang drove toward the Pei Corporation building. Right next to it was a large shopping mall.

Instead of hurrying to Pei Corporation, Xu Wang went into the mall and bought Pei Yanchuan an outfit.

Xu Wang had his eye on a black suit. What made it a little different from other suits was that it was only suitable for wearing with nothing underneath. The designer had also created several sets of diamond chains for it, which could be detached or hung directly across the chest.

The distinctive design and the finest materials made the outfit very expensive.

Looking at the nearly seven-figure price, Xu Wang simply took out his black card. "Put it on this."

"Certainly, sir."

Carrying the outfit, Xu Wang walked into the Pei Corporation building.

Xiao Zhu at reception happened to look in his direction and almost failed to register what she saw at first.

"Oh my God, Xiao Li, quick, look who's just walked through the door!"

"What? What? Let me see." The receptionist called Xiao Li looked up in confusion.

One glance was enough to make her eyes widen, and she instinctively turned to exchange a look with her colleague.

Their eyes sparkled with gossip as they spoke in unison.

"The boss's wife!"

"Hello, I'm here to see Pei Yanchuan."

Just as the two were exchanging excited looks, a gentle voice came from in front of them.

"Of-of course, boss's-no, Mr. Xu, this way, please. I'll take you to President Pei's private elevator." Coming back to her senses, Xiao Li hurried over to Xu Wang to lead the way.

"Sorry for the trouble." Xu Wang smiled and nodded.

Watching the two walk away, Xiao Zhu could no longer contain her excitement. She took out her phone and opened the large employees-only group chat.

Reception, Xiao Zhu: Guys, girls, guess who I just saw?

Reception, Xiao Zhu: [So excited I'm spinning in circles and doing the splits right here.]

Public relations, Xiao Guan: Who did you see? Why are you so excited? [Curious]

Human resources, Xiao Zhao: Settle down for a moment. There are a few interviews today. Don't forget to let them in.
