Chapter 642: Chapter 642: Pei Duidui Goes Online Chapter 642: Chapter 642: Pei Duidui Goes Online Qin Yuan’s face darkened as he instructed his secretary, “Go ask if Director Pei has finished his meeting.”

“Yes.”

Following the order, the secretary exited the reception room and returned after a short while.

“Mr. Qin, they said that Director Pei is still in a meeting and asked you to wait a bit longer.”

Qin Yuan’s expression grew darker, as if ink could drip from his face.

Although he was not the head of the Qin family, he was the young master, and when he conducted business, people would treat him with respect because of his grandfather.

This was the first time he had been ignored for so long.

However, when he thought about how he needed Pei Ya’s assistance, he suppressed the frustration welling up in his heart and continued to wait.

It was already afternoon and waiting any further would stretch into the evening.

Who holds meetings for this long?

The idea that he was being played grew stronger in Qin Yuan’s mind, yet he had never offended Pei Ya, so there was no reason for this globally recognized tycoon to target him specifically.

Qin Yuan’s patience was exhausted; he ordered his secretary once more, “Go ask again.”

“Yes.” The secretary’s back was drenched in cold sweat, Mr. Qin’s expression looked ferocious.

A few minutes later, the secretary returned, his expression far from pleasant: “Mr. Qin, they said Director Pei has finished his meeting, but a business partner has arrived, and they are now discussing a partnership; you might need to wait a bit longer.”

The secretary carefully watched Qin Yuan’s somber expression and added, “The meeting won’t end soon. If you have other matters to attend to, perhaps you could reschedule.”

His words were actually a softened version.

What Pei Ya’s assistant had really said was, “Busy here, no time now, wait if you like, leave if you don’t want to, but next time might not be free either, see what works for you.”

One can only say, isn’t it typical of a major corporation’s assistant to be so arrogant!

Seeing Mr. Qin’s expression, the secretary internally screamed, wondering why today of all days, she had to accompany Mr. Qin, thinking it was torture.

Qin Yuan closed his eyes and thought deeply; if not for his ability to maintain composure, he might have exploded by now.

Having waited so long, he naturally did not want to give up.

He remembered as he left his house this morning, his grandfather had patted his shoulder, urging him to build a good relationship with Pei Ya, as securing this deal might result in him becoming the general manager of the group.

Qin Yuan weighed the pros and cons and said softly, “Let’s wait a bit longer.”

The secretary sighed inwardly, witnessing for the first time Mr. Qin looking so frustrated yet unable to express his anger, thinking Director Pei really had some nerve.

To be honest, do you have a grudge against Director Pei?

After nearly nine hours of waiting, just as Qin Yuan couldn’t help but think of marching into Pei Ya’s office to punch him, the assistant finally came to inform them.

“Mr. Qin, sorry to keep you waiting for so long, Director Pei is now available, please follow me.”

Qin Yuan slowly exhaled, stood up, and followed the assistant into Pei Ya’s office.

As the door opened,

the first thing he saw was the strikingly handsome man sitting in the office chair, yawning.

A cold flicker passed through Qin Yuan’s eyes as he calculated how to get back at Pei Ya.

Seeing Qin Yuan, Pei Ya didn’t even bother to stand up but smiled and said, “Mr. Qin, sorry to have kept you waiting, it’s all my fault. I stayed up too late last night and overslept; here I am, meeting you as soon as I got to the office.”

Finally, Qin Yuan’s face twisted.

He had waited for nine hours, and Pei Ya was not in a meeting but had been sleeping for nine hours!!!!?

Pei Ya sighed, “I heard you came early in the morning. It’s really my people’s fault for not being able to do their jobs, making you wait so long. Apologize quickly.”

The assistant apologized without emotion, “Mr. Qin, I’m sorry.”

Pei Ya pretended to be annoyed, “Even if you want to protect my image, you shouldn’t have let Mr. Qin wait so long. This month’s salary and bonuses are all deducted.”

Pei Ya then said to Qin Yuan, “Ah, I’m also to blame for scheduling it so early.”

Qin Yuan almost clenched his teeth, Pei Ya had put it that way, could he still get angry?

He could only swallow the frustration and forced a smile, “President Pei, don’t worry about it; I didn’t wait too long.”

“Hahaha, Mr. Qin, it’s very rare to see someone as patient as you. With this kind of patience, you are sure to have a great future,” Pei Ya thought to himself, I’ll infuriate you to death.

Qin Yuan clenched his fists, finding Pei Ya’s smiling face truly punchable, but he absolutely could not afford to hit him.

He better not give me a chance, or I’ll definitely skin Pei Ya alive.

Qin Yuan cut to the chase and stated his purpose directly, “President Pei, I’m here to ask a favor of you, hoping to meet Professor Shengqiao and obtain her overseas representation rights. I know Tianqi Research Institute and Shengqiao are inseparable. If our three entities band together, the benefits will be enormous. You must be aware of the Qin Family’s influence overseas…”

Before he could finish, he heard Pei Ya say, “I actually don’t know that.”

Qin Yuan wanted to explain the benefits of partnering with the Qin Family, but he instantly shut up.

Pei Ya said blankly, “That’s quite embarrassing. I’m usually so busy with work that I haven’t paid much attention to your family’s business. But Shengqiao’s influence overseas is also very significant. I wonder how it compares to the Qin Family?”

Qin Yuan laughed dryly, “Of course, Shengqiao is more formidable, our Qin Family still has a long way to go.”

This was true; all of Shengqiao’s tech products originated from Tianqi Research Institute, each product was ahead of its time, and upon release, not only in China, but foreigners were also scrambling to get them.

However, Shengqiao’s main business was still in China, and the expansion overseas was not fully underway yet.

After all, Shengqiao was established less than four years ago but had already rapidly become the wealthiest in the country, which was quite frightening.

“You flatter us, I’ve also heard quite a bit about the Qin Family; as an established family, your strength is indeed strong.”

Pei Ya nodded, not waiting for Qin Yuan to continue, he changed the topic, “But since Shengqiao also has influence overseas, why would Shengqiao need to partner with your Qin Family? What benefits can you bring to Shengqiao? This so-called ‘significant benefit,’ isn’t it mostly in favor of the Qin Family?”

He lifted his eyelids to look at Qin Yuan, his eyes clearly conveyed, you think I’m a fool?

Qin Yuan’s smile stiffened, and he suddenly realized at that moment.

Terrible.

Having been made to wait too long, he lost his patience and had been led by the nose by Pei Ya from the moment he walked in.

The rhythm had been completely disrupted.

He angrily thought, what a cunning merchant!

If Pei Ya knew Qin Yuan’s thoughts at this moment, he would definitely have protested his innocence.

He didn’t harbor so many thoughts; it was merely because he was annoyed at the Qin Family that he kept Qin Yuan waiting.

After all, Professor Shengqiao had said, Qin Yuan likes to wait, so let him wait.

Qin Yuan, realizing his underestimation of Pei Ya, cooled down and said, “President Pei, regarding the cooperation, shouldn’t we consult Professor Shengqiao’s opinion?”

That was his true purpose today.

Everyone knew Professor Shengqiao was not easily approachable but had a good relationship with Pei Ya. Those who wanted to see Professor Shengqiao had no other choice but to seek Pei Ya’s help.
