Chapter 73: Wearing it on the ankle won't be very noticeable, right?
A die-hard fan...expressing support...
Secretary Meng's expression became quite interesting. His boss became addicted to the internet as soon as he got off work, and it turned out he was learning these kinds of things!
He paused for a few seconds, and although he couldn't bear it, he still reminded her, "Mr. Pei, aren't you and your wife currently in a secret marriage? Your wife just took on this endorsement and we even talked about your ideal type. Isn't it a bit too ostentatious for you to buy the latest DOP couple's watches so openly...?"
Pei Weijin gave him a cool glance.
Is it necessary to remind him every day that he's a man without a legal status?
“I know what I'm doing. Now, you just need to help me pick the most suitable one.”
Secretary Meng thought to herself, "The boss is God; everything is for money!"
He glanced at the business-style watch on the left and then at the macaron-colored watch on the right.
Our recommendation: "The one on the left is more mature and composed, which matches your temperament better; the one on the right is more youthful and lively, which may not be suitable for you."
Pei Weijin's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was considering Secretary Meng's words. Then, he suddenly remembered what Yan Zhuoyu had said during the live broadcast. He frowned and asked critically, "Oh? Secretary Meng thinks I'm too old?"
"what?"
Meng Yuting blinked and changed her words, saying, "How could that be? If President Pei changes into casual clothes, outsiders will only think of you as a young college student, very young."
Pei Weijin shook his head: "We can't change it."
"for……"
Secretary Meng understood after asking just one word.
Okay, then I'll just weld the suit onto my body. After all, my wife likes it.
In the end, Pei Weijin decided on the business-style watch, not for any other reason than that the women's version of the watch had a gold and red color scheme, which perfectly matched Yan Zhuoyu's temperament.
Secretary Meng thought that everything was over after making her selections and was about to leave when President Pei spoke up again.
"As for the other couple's watch, you can order a batch as a benefit for all employees, and also buy some other products that your wife endorses, and pack them together."
Secretary Meng was startled: "Then under what pretext?"
Pei Weijin had already switched to the company's intranet. He lightly tapped the keyboard and said calmly, "Just say it's to promote the deep dissemination of company culture, or a special holiday benefit. You can be flexible with the wording."
Secretary Meng nodded slowly. It seemed inappropriate to talk about holiday benefits, since the most recent holiday was the Ghost Festival.
He left the office feeling dizzy and disoriented. As he passed the break room, the finance manager grabbed him and put his arm around him.
The manager and Meng Yuting had a good relationship. He furtively pulled the man into a blind spot of the surveillance camera and asked in a low voice:
"There are rumors online that a celebrity named Yan Zhuoyu has a close relationship with our CEO Pei. As the chief steward, is this true or false?"
Several people outside followed the sound and turned to look at Meng Yuting.
Secretary Meng snorted, shoved his hand away, and said in a shrill voice, "You're the eunuch!"
He grinned, a chilling wind blowing past him: "But, President Pei is about to give you all some Ghost Festival perks. Aren't you touched?"
The finance manager felt a chill run down his spine and waved his hand as he retreated: "President Pei, there's no need for you to be so considerate..."
Although the company gives out benefits for every holiday, this is the first time they've given out benefits on Ghost Festival. In just a few words, they really forgot what they were focusing on before.

After Qiao Xinyun's well-intentioned psychological manipulation lasted for more than half an hour, Yan Zhuoyu successfully became even more determined.
As soon as she got home, she went straight to the home theater, grabbed her laptop, and started watching movies made by her predecessors, learning from their strengths and making up for her own weaknesses.
The indoor lighting was soft and dim. She didn't know what time it was until a familiar footstep sounded outside the door, and Yan Zhuoyu suddenly realized that Pei Weijin had already come home from get off work.
bang bang-
The knocking was neither hurried nor slow. Pei Weijin politely asked from outside the door, "May I come in?"
"Enter."
Yan Zhuoyu didn't even lift her eyelids, but just turned her head slightly to watch him push open the door and walk in.
His gaze lingered on that pleasing face for a few seconds, then casually moved down to the familiar packaging box in the other person's hand.
Wow, the watch she just endorsed has already been bought by her die-hard fans so quickly.
Yan Zhuoyu understood, but didn't point it out, instead asking knowingly, "What is this?"
"You want to change your watch? What about the one I gave you before? Sure enough, a man's love doesn't last long; he gets tired of it after a while."
She reclined on the sofa, feigning sorrow.
Pei Weijin didn't turn on the light. He walked straight to her side and sat down, handing her the gift box: "I won't get tired of it. My love for you, and for the gifts you gave me, is long-lasting, even more eternal than that bouquet of golden roses."
"These couple watches are part of our company culture. In order to enhance team cohesion, as a leader, I should not be too unconventional."
Yan Zhuoyu stared at him without saying a word. Zhuoye couldn't even lie.
Pei Weijin felt a little uncomfortable under their gaze. Remembering the word "fidelity" in the prenuptial agreement, he finally confessed, "Actually, I wanted to wear matching watches with you."
"My sweet wife, can you grant me this little request?"
The long-lost nickname has reappeared.
Yan Zhuoyu leaned closer to him, a section of her shapely, jade-like calf peeking out from under her cotton nightgown.
She raised her hand demurely, and amidst the noisy background music of old Hong Kong movies, her clear, charming voice said, "I'll reluctantly agree~"
The women's watch features a delicate and exquisite strap, a richly colored dial, and gold hands and markers that move across the wine-red satin-like dial, like a rose blooming in the night, perfectly complementing her skin tone.
Pei Weijin gently helped her put on her watch and said softly, "Okay, see if it fits."
Yan Zhuoyu raised that hand and examined it in the dim light of the curtain. The gold and red design was unique, and the surrounding diamonds and platinum reflected a luxurious halo.
"President Pei has the same good eye for choosing jewelry as he does for choosing a wife."
The man beside her smiled slightly and was about to put on another men's watch when Yan Zhuoyu promptly stopped him, saying, "You shouldn't wear it, right?"
Pei Weijin's smile didn't last long; his gaze towards her held a hint of reproach and disappointment: "You don't want to wear it with me?"
"It turns out that women's love is the least lasting; they get tired of it before they even see it once."
Yan Zhuoyu shook her head rationally: "If it's too obvious, it will be discovered."
She winked mischievously like a little fox: "Also, Mr. Pei, be more precise. I didn't say anything like 'I love you'."
This little problem is no challenge for Pei Weijin at all.
He quickly replied, "I understand, it's okay."
Then, Pei Weijin picked up the watch and was about to put it on his ankle, saying carefully, "It won't be noticeable if I wear it here."
"It's even more obvious now!"
Yan Zhuoyu rubbed her forehead, suddenly missing the time when President Pei's mental state wasn't so worrying during their previous business marriage.
She grasped Pei Weijin's wrist. "Didn't you go to the bedroom when you came back?"
"Why would I go to the bedroom if you're here?"
Yan Zhuoyu casually said, "I just bought you some things on the spur of the moment, and I put them in the bedroom."
The person in front of me suddenly stood up, his tall shadow covering most of the curtain. Without even asking what I had bought, he hurriedly went to the bedroom.
Not long after, Pei Weijin returned.
His eyes, which had looked somewhat weary just moments before, now held a subtle smile. He casually rolled up his shirt sleeves to his elbows, and the new gold-faced watch on his pale wrist looked exceptionally luxurious.
"Can I wear this?"
"Of course, we'll each wear a pair of matching watches, that way it won't be so conspicuous, and no one will guess..."
Before Yan Zhuoyu could finish speaking, her beautiful eyes suddenly froze.
Pei Weijin's original black and gold watch was switched to his right hand, while the newly bought couple's watch was worn on his left hand.
He himself didn't feel there was anything wrong with it, his voice clear and pleasant, and his mood cheerful: "Thank you for the gift, my wife, I like it very much."
"..." Yan Zhuoyu pinched her brow: "I'm glad you like it."
Fortunately, she didn't agree to the two of them wearing the same pair of couple watches. However, if President Pei holds a meeting tomorrow, it will definitely attract the attention of the employees.
