Chapter 386 Too much to bear
As for garden care, villa maintenance, and other trivial matters, there are professional teams who come to repair them regularly.
The whole villa looked deserted and quiet because there were few people in it, and there was not a single sound.
If it weren't for the good lighting throughout the villa and the interior decoration full of life, it would be a bit scary how quiet it is.
Pei Jin was not quite used to it during the first few times he came. He was very skeptical that with only a few people in the room, they could not be there whenever they needed anything. How could that be enough?
If he were to live alone in such a big house, he would get sick even if he was healthy.
However, when I thought about Bai Yuan's usual self-disciplined and rigorous lifestyle, I quickly accepted this fact.
The more I look at it, the more I feel that the deserted atmosphere of this house matches Bai Yuan's temperament very well. This is indeed the environment that Bai Yuan would like.
On ordinary days, there are not many people visiting Bai Yuan’s house, and even fewer people of the opposite sex.
Therefore, the servants and aunts in the house were no strangers to Pei Jin. Without Bai Yuan's instructions, they had already skillfully gone to the kitchen to prepare snacks that suited his taste.
Bai Yuan usually does not treat the servants in his home too closely, nor does he criticize or scold them at will. It is just a pure labor employment relationship.
The requirements for them are simple. As long as they do their job well, they will receive the benefits they deserve. They will never find fault with you. They can be said to be the perfect employers that everyone dreams of.
And because she was the only one who had to take care of her daily life in such a large villa, her work was even easier than that of her peers. Over time, the servants were unwilling to give up such an easy job, so they worked more diligently for Bai Yuan, and their loyalty increased accordingly.
And in this process, the distance between the employer and the employee is exactly the same.
Bai Yuan has a good grasp of the balance in this matter, which can be described as a strict family tradition.
Over time, the servants in the house all knew her temper and character, and would not overstep their boundaries in front of her. No matter what they did, they would just follow Bai Yuan's instructions and never say a word.
Therefore, whether in front of Pei Jin or in private, no servant would chat casually or make indiscriminate jokes about the relationship between him and Bai Yuan.
After returning home, Bai Yuan took Pei Jin straight to the piano room.
After the servants put down the tea and snacks and left, they got straight to the point of today.
Bai Yuan had already heard about Pei Jin's level during the school anniversary and had a general idea of it.
Therefore, there is no need to prepare too much now, just get started.
The performance went smoothly without any major problems, and Bai Yuan was very satisfied with the final result.
After all, Pei Jin had practiced professionally. He had a solid foundation from his childhood, and he had also practiced hard at home for a long time.
Compared in this way, he is much better than the half-baked Xue Ze.
Not only did Pei Jin not have to cater to and adapt to Bai Yuan's rhythm and melody everywhere, but he was also able to keep up with her changes in melody and her improvisation in certain places. It even made her find some of the long-lost comfort and pleasure she had when she practiced the piano with Wen Yi Che.
After singing a few songs, the two of them had a significantly improved level of tacit understanding, and they became more and more compatible in the process of mutual adjustment and adaptation.
When he was in school, Pei Jin had seen Bai Yuan's gentle, elegant and calm demeanor the most, but he seldom saw Bai Yuan performing. His aura seemed to have changed, and he lost his usual restraint and low-key demeanor. He looked like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, so dazzling that people could not take their eyes off him.
However, its aura does not overpower the rest of the music, but blends perfectly with the music being played, making it a visual and auditory enjoyment.
The violin Bai Yuan is playing now is not his original one, but the one that Pei's mother gave him as a return gift when he went to Pei's house before.
Pei's mother didn't know how to play the zither, so Pei Jin helped her select and order this zither. Naturally, she recognized it at a glance. After discovering this detail, Pei Jin couldn't help but feel proud that Bai Yuan cared about the current relationship between the two families.
Speaking of practicing the piano together, when Bai Yuan first brought it up at the school anniversary, Pei Jin still felt that he should be more reserved. How could he really take the initiative to make an appointment with Bai Yuan just because Bai Yuan said that he would set the time?
He seemed so impatient.
At the very least, I have to wait until Bai Yuan has urged me to invite him many times before I reluctantly agree to it, so that I can show my particularly important position.
But what he didn't expect was that Bai Yuan never mentioned this matter to him again after the school anniversary.
Pei Jin waited for a long time, but Bai Yuan didn't ask him out again. He thought she was just being perfunctory and polite, so he was sulking for a long time.
But now that he was the one who lost his temper and took the initiative to find Bai Yuan, Pei Jin no longer cared about being reserved. He had realized that it was like playing the lute to a cow and flirting with a blind man, which was of no use at all.
After returning home today, he didn't wait for Bai Yuan to come to him. Instead, he got into her car as familiarly as usual after school every night and went back with her to practice piano.
He even worked extra hard because he was holding a grudge in his heart and was secretly competing with Wen Yi Che, Bai Yuan's former partner, and he never missed a day of the week by checking in.
Pei's mother was relieved to see this. She thought her son had finally come to his senses and was about to get over his long rebellious period.
However, his positive attitude and non-stop work for more than two months almost overwhelmed Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan always does things in an orderly manner. He thinks three steps ahead before taking one step. He often makes plans for the week a few days in advance so that he can proceed in an orderly manner.
Not only did Pei Jin take up all her time after school, he sometimes even went to her house on weekends.
She has a lot of other things to deal with!
The drone upgrade has been delayed for a week, which is several days beyond the original scheduled completion and delivery time.
Although the research team did not urge her explicitly, they hinted at whether she had encountered any technical problems that were difficult to overcome.
This is really a waste of time!
But it was Bai Yuan himself who promised that the time would be decided by Pei Jin.
She had never imagined that this man was so energetic and could work without getting tired. Just a few months ago, he played with his friends all night long and had to catch up on sleep at school.
What? Is it not suitable to have gatherings during these two months?
In the end, Bai Yuan wanted to ask him if he had nothing of his own to do?
Originally, she liked Pei Jin's sense of distance and his non-clinginess, and thought he was much better than Qin Lingzheng, who followed her around all day and couldn't be shaken off.
It's bound to get boring after a while.
The level of interest plummeted.
Fortunately, this semester is coming to an end. When the vacation came, Bai Yuan packed his things and returned to Jingli compound from Haiqi.
Pei Jin had no idea what Bai Yuan was thinking, and was feeling complacent about himself for monopolizing all of Bai Yuan's time.
Didn’t you notice that Bai Yuan hasn’t contacted Wen Yiche for some time?
Therefore, Pei Jin decided to make further efforts and continue to carry out this plan to the end after Bai Yuan returns.
It would be best to completely eliminate Wen Yiche's position in Bai Yuan's heart. What the best former partner? Since he is an ex, he should not appear next to Bai Yuan again.
Pei Jin was ready to go, and Bai Yuan took advantage of the holiday to complete the final upgrade code and finishing work, and delivered the improved drone.
The upgraded drone's consumables have been reduced by 30 percent compared to before, but its functionality has not changed much. Functions such as flight stability, signal reception, anti-interference, and anti-fall and shock resistance have all been retained.
But this also brings with it problems of excessive power consumption and battery life.
As the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want good performance and want to save money on raw materials, reduce production costs and increase profits, high energy consumption is inevitable.
But this problem is not very big. At most, it can be solved by shortening the service life of the drone by a few months, or returning it to work in batches for rotation and charging when in use.
Even the business arguments that Pei Jin had made before perfectly fit in with the capitalists' need for rapid product updates and repeated sales of new software and units.
Therefore, the research team members were not disappointed with the final acceptance results, but were very satisfied.
During the process of Bai Yuan upgrading the system, through conversations with each other, the research team members have learned the essence of the code and figured out Bai Yuan's thinking when he was making it.
Next, even without Bai Yuan’s participation, they can continue to conduct in-depth research in this direction.
Because the price offered by Bai Yuan was fair, and the research team members also wanted to return the favor, show goodwill and make close friends with him, and take advantage of Bai's shade to cool off. So after chatting with Bai Yuan and returning, the representative of the research institute wrote a report and reported the matter to the company's leaders.
Perhaps it was because the Bai family's name was well-known enough everywhere, and after unanimous discussion, the company's top leaders decided that they could not take advantage of Bai Yuan's efforts to reduce unit costs for system upgrades.
Finally, after discussion, they reached an agreement and jointly decided to transfer 5% of the company's shares to Bai Yuan's name. This way, it would not violate Bai Yuan's original intention of giving away the upgraded system for free, nor would it seem that they were taking a huge advantage.
In the final analysis, it is still a serious business that requires clear accounting, which can also avoid laying mines and avoiding many unnecessary disputes in the future.
Although their company has advanced technology, the drone market is so small that the company's market value is not high. Although 5% may not seem like a lot, it is the most profit margin they can squeeze out.
When they respectfully placed the finalized technology purchase contract and share transfer procedures in front of Bai Yuan, Bai Yuan gladly accepted the gift after he declined twice but the other party continued to insist.
All subsequent procedures were handled by a professional team of lawyers under the name of Bai, and Bai Yuan did not need to intervene personally, so the matter came to an end.
After that, issues such as how to mass-produce, market, promote, and price the newly developed drones are internal matters of the drone company. Bai Yuan has no right to inquire or interfere. She just needs to wait to receive her 5% dividend on time every year.
September.
"Master Pei Jin, you are here. Miss Bai Yuan is waiting for you in the piano room."
The servant of the Bai family opened the door for Pei Jin and told him the truth according to Bai Yuan's instructions.
Although Young Master Pei usually behaves recklessly in Haiqi and acts arrogantly everywhere, he still has the courtesy and manners that a person from a big family should have.
Even though he usually bossed the people under him at home, he would have a big fight with Pei's mother whenever he had a disagreement with her, and he would even dislike the servants serving in the house and speak to them in a bad tone.
But that was at home after all, and the people who took care of him were all elderly people who had watched him grow up from childhood to now. They knew Pei Jin's character and temper very well, and were too tolerant and did not take it to heart.
But now that he was in the Bai family, if he acted the same way as he did at home, it would be a sign of lack of manners and education. Pei Jin was able to distinguish this clearly. When the servants of Bai Yuan's family served him tea and water or conveyed Bai Yuan's words, Pei Jin would be patient and say thank you seriously and politely.
After accompanying Bai Yuan to practice the piano so many times, Pei Jin had become extremely familiar with Bai Yuan's home. It was almost like returning to his own home. He did not need anyone to lead the way and could find the location of the piano room with his eyes closed.
When he first started accompanying Bai Yuan in piano practice, Pei Jin was in high spirits and very active. During that semester of working non-stop, he almost exhausted Bai Yuan, who had always been self-disciplined and hardworking and had gotten up early every day to practice piano for years.
But over time, Pei Jin achieved his goal. Over time, after his initial enthusiasm faded, Pei Jin's enthusiasm for practicing the piano also decreased.
Without waiting for Bai Yuan to talk to him again to adjust his practice time, he automatically reduced the number of times he practiced the piano each week.
From Monday to Friday, I do it every day, and even work overtime on Saturdays and Sundays when I am free. Now, I only come to your home for practice at fixed times on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
This is also the most comfortable piano practice frequency for Bai Yuan, which is consistent with the previous practice frequency at the Wen family. Over time, the two of them have persisted in this way until now.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is proof of the stable relationship between Bai Yuan and Pei Jin. Thanks to this, the previous suspicions and rumors have become much less. At the same time, the number of people who gather around Bai Yuan has also decreased to very few compared to the time when Bai Yuan first came to Haiqi.
After all, no one can work hard for one person for decades. These people have high hopes from their families. They can't just try their luck with Bai Yuan with unrealistic fantasies when they see that the hope is slim.
What's more, as they get older, each family has reached the age of looking for a suitable marriage partner, and they can't delay it for the sake of marrying up.
Even if we want to continue climbing, the next group should take over.
Bai Yuan started school a few years earlier than his peers and was two or three years younger. Now that the older ones were replaced and the younger ones who had just entered high school were replaced, it turned out to be a better fit.
Of course, the consequence of doing this was that Young Master Pei was very angry.
