Pei Qingcheng picked up the slip of paper and saw several lines of graceful and grand handwriting on it. "Mrs. Ye, Mrs. Ye likes qipao. You can wear this without any problems."
It was signed: Shen Tiaotiao.
This qipao was sent by Shen Tiaotiao?
What do you mean?
Isn't Shen Tiaotiao Ye Juan's childhood sweetheart?
Mrs. Ye had appointed Ye Juan's wife as her wife.
Therefore, the relationship between the two of them should be like that of a love rival. Why would Shen Tiaotiao send a formal dress over for her to attend Mrs. Ye's birthday party tomorrow?
Pei Qingcheng was a little confused. She held onto the slip of the qipao in her hand and hastily rescued it from her grasp.
"This kind of fabric can't stand this kind of kneading. It won't look good if it's wrinkled." Huang Xiaofen tilted her head and glanced over, "Shen Tiaotiao, could it be that Miss Shen from the afternoon?"
How strange! Why didn't Shen Tiaotiao play according to the rules?
Pei Qingcheng frowned as she tried to figure out what Shen Tiaotiao wanted to do.
Huang Xiaofen urged, "Why don't you try and see if you're willing to sacrifice yourself?"
In any case, she didn't prepare any formal attire. Whether this was Shen Tiaotiao's good intention or not, she would try it on first.
Pei Qingcheng picked up her clothes and changed into them in the bathroom. Surprisingly, they fit her perfectly, as if they were tailored to her.
Huang Xiaofen helped buckle the collar of her dress, and then looked around the circle as she praised, "It's really beautiful. Second Miss, you look really beautiful in a qipao!"
Pei Qingcheng looked at herself in the mirror. The pink color of the lotus root made her face look like a peach blossom. The cut of the lotus root accentuated her slender and slim figure.
She rolled her hair up at random and stuck a pencil in her bun. She was a classical beauty.
This qipao really suited her. Shen Tiaotiao had good eyesight. Not only could she find the color that Pei Qingcheng liked, she could also pinpoint the size to such an appropriate size.
"It's too fitting for you to wear this. You will be the center of attention no matter where you go!" Huang Xiaofen was even more excited than she was. "Miss Shen is really considerate. I'm going to take a look at my little box."
Pei Qingcheng looked at Huang Xiaofen with a puzzled expression. "What about your small box?"
"When Miss Shen's follower brought the clothes here, a small box said it was for me. It said that I've worked hard for Second Miss, what's the matter with me?" Huang Xiaofen flew out like a little bird. Very quickly, she flew back in with a small accessory box held high in the air.
She opened the box and immediately let out a series of happy cries: "How beautiful!"
Pei Qingcheng looked at her hand. Inside the box was a delicate bracelet with a small diamond on it.
Seeing Huang Xiaofen's happy expression, Pei Qingcheng couldn't help but admire Shen Tiaotiao for her high rank.
Not only had he sent her the qipao, but he was also planning to bribe her secretary?
Pei Qingcheng looked at Huang Xiaofen quietly. After Huang Xiaofen had finished her excitement, she stared blankly at the expressionless Pei Qingcheng before suddenly realizing that the bracelet in her hand had been given to her by Second Miss's rival in love.
He stuttered, "Second Miss, should I not take this? I'll go back later. "
"Retreat what?" "I'll keep it for you." Pei Qingcheng replied faintly, "The qipao she gave me. I hope I can wear it tomorrow."
"Is that so?" A smile appeared on Huang Xiaofen's face once again.
At this moment, the door was pushed open. Pei Qingcheng looked towards the door and saw that it was Tang Kexin.
"But the heart!" Pei Qingcheng greeted her happily, "Why are you here? and didn't tell me beforehand. "
"You didn't answer your call at noon, but later on, I called your office. Secretary Huang said that you went to Ye's?" As Tang Kexin walked in, her eyes suddenly stopped on Pei Qingcheng. "Why are you wearing a qipao?"
"Tomorrow, Second Miss is going to Mrs. Ye's birthday party." Huang Xiaofen was too excited and quickly blurted it out.
Tang Kexin was stunned. "You're going to participate as well?"
"What?" Pei Qingcheng looked at Tang Kexin. "You're going as well?"
"Mrs. Ye's birthday is also an invitation to our Tang Clan." Tang Kexin said.
The Tang Clan could also be considered as a large clan with Mo City; it was normal for two clans to have dealings with each other.
"Hm." Pei Qingcheng undid her buttons and said, "That's perfect. We'll meet at Ye Family tomorrow, and I was worried that I would be bored by myself there. It just so happens that you're with me." Pei Qingcheng smiled and said to Tang Kexin, "Wait for me here. I'll change out of the qipao first."
She changed her clothes and walked out of the bathroom. Then, she put the qipao back into the box.
Tang Kexin kept looking at her. "Are you going to wear this to the party tomorrow?"
"Yes." Pei Qingcheng shrugged, "I don't care about what I wear. Anyway, I'm going with Ye Juan. He's the boss, so I have to listen to him."
"Boss?"
"He injected money into Pei's. If it's not the boss, then what is it?" Pei Qingcheng said as she opened the fridge. "What do you want to drink?"
"Whatever, no soda."
Pei Qingcheng took out a bottle of soda from the fridge and passed it to Tang Kexin. "You didn't even say hello before you came here. I have a meeting later. What can I do for you?"
"Ah, it's nothing. Didn't I say it just now? I passed by the Pei's entrance." Tang Kexin seemed to be in a rather absent-minded state.
At this moment, Huang Xiaofen, who was at the door, urged, "Second Miss, everyone in the upper echelons is here. They're all waiting for you."
"Oh, okay." Pei Qingcheng hurriedly walked towards the door. As she walked, she turned around and said to Tang Kexin, "I will be here soon. Just wait for me in the office."
"Yes."
Pei Qingcheng hurried out of the office.
This is an operational analysis meeting, and it won't be long.
Half an hour later, Pei Qingcheng returned to her office.
However, Tang Kexin had already left. Pei Qingcheng was still planning to talk to her about Mrs. Ye's arrival at noon, so she couldn't wait to leave.
In any case, they would meet tomorrow. It was the same even tomorrow.
The only person she could chat with was Tang Kexin. In Zhuang Sheng's Dream, there were countless assistants, nutrition masters, makeup masters, image consultants, all of whom had high academic qualifications.
But when she thought about how they were all Ye Juan's men, Pei Qingcheng lost her desire to talk to them.
She sat in the chair, her gaze fixated on the qipao box on the table.
Didn't she put it on the tea table? When did she move it onto the desk?
It doesn't matter.
Pei Qingcheng didn't seem to mind as she pushed the box to the side.
Before the birthday banquet tomorrow arrived, she already felt a bit nervous.

In the evening, the sky darkened.
In the late winter, when night came early, the street lamps were lit early, which added even more luster to the city.
Ye Juan leaned on the back seat of the car and drove him to the outskirts of the city.
Whenever he went there, Ye Juan was very tired.
Ding Hann looked at his master in the mirror and decided to tell him something that would make his master happy.
"Master, my wife used her own cell phone to kill Miss Shen today. I can see that Miss Shen's appearance caused my wife some trouble. Do you think my wife is jealous?"
After Ding Hann finished speaking, he carefully sized up this grandpa's expression.
Sure enough, Ye Juan opened his eyes. He frowned: "Did you hack into Qing's phone again?"
"It's not me, it's Ding Hao. That kid is far away in the United States, so he's not very interested after hearing about his wife coming back. But I told him not to be like this next time. I know that his wife likes not to be bound." Ding Hann hurriedly explained.
"Yes." Ye Juan closed his eyes again.
"Moreover, Old Sun also told me that when I was escorting my wife to Pei's at noon, my wife specifically asked him about the relationship between you and Miss Shen."
"Yes." It was still a simple phrase.
Ding Hann had never seen much of an emotional change on Ye Juan's face, but he guessed that the Lord was secretly rejoicing at the moment.
However, he could not guess this grandpa's thoughts.
The car stopped in front of a small private hospital.
Ding Hann got out of the car and opened the door for Ye Juan: "Master."
Ye Juan got off the car and walked straight into the hospital.
The dean greeted them at the door and introduced them along the way: "Mr. Yin has been doing quite well these few days. His eyeballs have rolled a few times today and his fingers are twitching more than usual. It seems like the effect of the new drug is very significant."
"When will you wake up?" Ye Juan walked to the door and gently pushed it open.
In the luxurious VIP ward, a young man was lying on the bed.
The nurse was massaging his limbs and stepped aside when she saw Ye Juan enter. "Chairman Ye, you're here."
Ye Juan walked to the bedside and stared at the young man who was covered with tubes while lying on the bed.
After staring for a moment, he muttered to himself, "His complexion is not bad."
"We don't know when we'll wake up, but let's first use a course of treatment to see how effective it is. At the moment, it looks like there's a lot of hope." the dean said.
"Take good care of him. If there's any situation, report it immediately. You can leave first." Ye Juan sat on the sofa at the side.
As usual, Ye Juan had to sit alone in the ward for a while every time he came.
Everyone left.
The dean lightly closed the door and said to Ding Hann: "Special Assistant Ding, why don't you go to my office for a cup of tea? Chairman Ye probably stays for half an hour at a time. "
"No need." Ding Hann sat on the bench outside the door.
The dean also sat down beside Ding Hann. This mysterious man was sent to this hospital a year ago, and this hospital was the branch of the Ye Family's private hospital. The environment here was quiet, but doctors and deans were all skilled in medicine.
When it was delivered, the man was severely injured and almost failed to save his life.
He became a vegetable and never woke up.
The doctors, nurses and the dean did not know who this man was and what his relationship with Ye Juan was.
Why did Ye Juan come to see him every week?
If Ye Juan didn't say anything, no one would dare to ask.
At this moment, the dean could no longer restrain his curiosity and asked Ding Hann in a roundabout way.
"Special Assistant Ding, what is the relationship between this Mr. Yin and Chairman Ye? Doesn't he have a family? "
Ding Hann slowly turned his head to look at the dean, causing the dean to be scared.
"Principal Liu, always remember this one sentence." Ding Hann said slowly.
"Please advise me."
"Curiosity kills the cat, especially regarding this master's matter. It would be beneficial for you if you knew less." Ding Hann's tone turned cold.
The dean immediately shut his mouth.
