“Mr. Ji, stop joking. How can we be compared? I really don’t want to waste any more time on these issues and get entangled with you. If you really don’t have anything else to say, I’ll take my leave first. ” With that, she rolled her eyes and walked out of the man’s office.
Ji Ziming could only sigh as he watched her leave and the door close with a bang.
His handsome brows were so tightly furrowed that they could crush a fly. He clenched his wounded hand into a fist and slammed it heavily on the glass table.
“Ji Ziming! How can you be so useless?” Suddenly, the veins on his face popped as he gritted his teeth and said this.
However, he was suddenly attracted by the stack of documents that had been shaken up by his fist because he had used too much force. He stared at the stack of documents and thought for a while. Then, he squinted his eyes and nodded slightly, as if he had already thought of a brilliant plan.
It was six in the evening, and PEI GE felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles. At this moment, she received a message from Shen Feng on WeChat.”Pei Pei, I’ll wait for you in the parking lot after I get the information!”
After reading the message, PEI GE’s palms were sweating profusely. Even when she saw her colleagues entering and leaving his office, she still looked guilty and her eyes darted around.
“Hello? Peipei, what are you doing?” Just as PEI GE was about to reply to Shen Feng’s message with her phone under her desk, she was startled by a clear female voice and jerked her head up.
When she saw that it was si linna, she forced a smile and put away her phone, pretending to be calm. She stood up and replied,””Si linna, it’s you!”
“Yes, it’s me. What are you doing?” Si linna stood on her tiptoes and looked suspiciously at PEI GE’s back. Her big and bright eyes darted around, as if she was afraid of missing something interesting.
She leaned back and nervously scratched the back of her head.””It’s … It’s nothing,” In order not to let si linna see through her, PEI GE had an idea and changed the topic.””By the way, si linna, is there anything I can help you with? Or are you here to look for CEO Ji?”
Si linna saw that there wasn’t any hype, so she pouted resentfully and said,””I’m indeed here to look for CEO Ji, but I haven’t seen him even though it’s almost time to get off work. How annoying! Right, Pei Pei, have you heard? They said that when CEO Ji came to work today, he was covered in wounds, even on his handsome face! I’m really heartbroken! Do you have any idea what happened to him?”
Embarrassment was written all over PEI GE’s face. She could not tell si linna about her encounter with Ji Ziming at the hospital last night, and she knew that si linna had always been in love with him. If she were to find out that Ji Ziming had gotten injured because of Luo Yi, not only would she be in a mess, but it would also be equivalent to exposing her and Shen Feng’s relationship to her.
After a long while, she didn’t dare to look into si linna’s bright eyes, so she stammered,””I … I don’t know.”
Her face paled as she looked at the floor guiltily. She then added in an even lower voice,””I only saw the wound on your body when I came to work this morning. However, he didn’t look too good, so I didn’t ask him too much …”
“Alright then, it seems like I can’t get any useful information from you. I thought you would know something since you’re a Special Assistant. ” Si linna pursed her lips, her face full of displeasure. She then mumbled to herself in resentment,””She was fine when we were having dinner yesterday, but I couldn’t find her in the afternoon. And it was after that woman called Luo Yi left that he disappeared. I think it must be because of that Luo Yi woman that he got injured!”
Seeing si linna’s suspicious look, PEI GE’s heart skipped a beat.
It turned out that Ji Ziming really disappeared after having dinner with Luo Yi. Then, it was even more impossible for him to get injured because she was kidnapped. So, what was she still hesitating about? even when she personally called him to ask for help, he could ignore it and go on a date with another woman without a care. To think that she was still trying to smooth things over for him and Shen Feng!
“How would I know CEO Ji’s schedule? As the heir of family Ji and the head of the company, he was busier than the Prime Minister! He’s so busy every day that he doesn’t even have time to care about the concern of US Small fries!” She did not know why, but just as si linna was about to leave, she blurted this out as she stared in the direction of Ji Ziming’s office.
“Ah? What did you just say?” Si linna was shocked. She suddenly turned around and asked,””Pei Pei, what did you just say? Why do I feel so sour when I hear that?” Si linna’s expression immediately changed, and she raised her eyebrows with a mischievous smile. She finally felt that PEI GE knew something and only said that she did not know anything about his injury because she was unhappy with him.
PEI GE reacted and said in a panic,””Oh … I …” Her gaze accidentally triggered si linna’s gossiping heart, and PEI GE was filled with regret. “It’s nothing … It’s nothing, si linna. I just feel that if even you and I can’t see the high and mighty CEO Ji and can’t promptly convey the concern that an employee has for his superior, then CEO Ji’s injury is really a little mysterious!”
Si linna’s smirk froze. It seemed that PEI GE was determined not to tell her the truth.
Hence, he could only pretend to give up and say,””Alright, then. I can’t force you if you don’t want to tell me. It seems that I can only ask CEO Ji myself.” Si linna raised her hand to look at her watch disdainfully. Then, without even raising her head, she slowly said,””It’s almost time to get off work. It looks like I won’t be able to stop CEO Ji today. I’ll get off work first, then. You should go home early too, Pei Pei!”
“En, okay. Bye, si linna!” PEI GE finally heaved a sigh of relief. With a face full of smiles, she solemnly waved at si linna.
Si linna gave her a meaningful smile and, as usual, walked toward the elevator with her high heels and slim waist.
Seeing that si linna had already left, PEI GE looked at the time on her computer and guessed that Ji Ziming would not return to his office at this time. Thus, she stealthily made her way to his office after calming herself down.
