“Fine, I’ll go!” The female secretary, who had short hair and was slightly impulsive, laughed coldly and headed to the CEO’s office at Pei Ge’s taunting.

Everyone was stunned by the manner in which she ran into the big boss’s office.

The initially noisy office quieted in an instant, and no one dared to make a sound.

Pei Ge truly did not expect for the woman to be so bold. None of them also thought that she would really rush in there.

All three stared wide-eyed as the door to the CEO’s office was shut closed.

The sound insulation in the CEO’s office was too good, though. No matter how quiet they were outside, they still could not hear any sound from the inside.

Pak! Amid everyone’s anticipation, the door to the CEO’s office was opened.

The exceptionally brave and heroic short-haired female secretary from earlier ran out of the CEO’s office with red, puffy eyes.

Seeing the three of them looking at her, she halted her footsteps to her desk and ran out of the CEO Secretariat, instead.

However, just before she left, she threw Pei Ge a hate-filled glare.

It was this woman’s fault! She had always been the cautious type. If it were not for this woman’s instigation, why would she dare rush into the CEO’s office like that?

Pei Ge was shocked by her resentful look and her forehead creased tightly together as she muttered to herself, Why should Li Wen look at me like that?! Seriously! She’s the one who thoughtlessly dashed in. What did it have to do with me?!

“Ze! This Wen Wen is really using her brain! He he!”

Pei Ge was made more confused by the ridiculing words that came out of the mouth of Lu Huiya, who was usually on good terms with Li Wen.

What exactly did this woman mean? It was so confusing.

Were they not good friends? Why would she use such a tone to speak of Li Wen?

Indeed, the CEO Secretariat was very complicated.

She shook her head wryly. She thought about it for a while but eventually sat back at her desk and continued working.

However, sometimes, trouble would find her even if she did not go looking for it.

She had yet to warm her seat when Li Wen, whose eyes were red from crying, returned.

Li Wen probably tidied herself up in the washroom, as, although her eyes were still puffy, her energy was back.

“Pei Ge, you are good; I will remember you.” Li Wen approached Pei Ge’s desk and sneered with much loathing.

Pei Ge, who was typing something with the keyboard, frowned at her words.

Was this woman crazy?! She provoked her? She must be crazy!

Forget it; forget it! Don’t mind her.

Pei Ge did not raise her head and just continued typing on the keyboard, as though she did not notice Li Wen’s presence.

“Yo! Wen Wen, our Ge Ge is really Ge Ge! She’s got no eyes for anyone. Ze, ze, ze! Indeed, she is someone with other’s backing,” Lu Huiya incited. She seemed not to care about making matters worse and to want Pei Ge and Li Wen to collide.

Hearing her words, Pei Ge’s frown deepened.

She really did not understand what the two were up to today.

Although they usually looked down on her and their words always had a hint of ridicule, it was never this intense and was still manageable before.

Today, however, the two seemed to have torn off their masks and intentionally aggravated her. How strange!

“He he, what are you acting smug for? Do you think that CEO Ji likes you when you are like this? Don’t dream!” Li Wen was clearly aggravated by Lu Huiya’s words and stared intently at Pei Ge, her initial intention to leave after saying those nasty words forgotten.

Pei Ge finally understood why the two were targeting her. It was because of Ji Ziming, that annoying person!

Was it not just being that man’s female companion? What was so special about it?!

Ugh! I knew it. As long as it is related to Ji Ziming, that annoying person, nothing good ever comes out of it!

“Sorry, but it’s still daytime; I can’t dream.” Pei Ge lifted her eyes to meet Li Wen’s hate-filled and envious gaze and felt helpless.

Was she considered a gun like this?

“As for liking, CEO Ji… He he! I really don’t understand.” Pei Ge coldly laughed. She was never a woman to go down without a fight.

If people respect me, I will respect them. I’ll never speak kindly to someone who disrespects me!

“I don’t know what unspeakable thing you did behind our backs to achieve this, you vixen!” Li Wen was enraged by her impolite words and spoke vulgarly to her.

Pak! Pei Ge stood up, raised her hand, and swung it fiercely across Li Wen’s face.

Li Wen was taken by surprise by her slap. Licking the insides of her mouth, she stared blankly at Pei Ge.

“Please speak with respect! Don’t pollute my ears with such words, or else this hand of mine won’t be able to hold back.” Pei Ge’s eyes were cold and her voice was firm.

“You! You dared to hit me!” Li Wen was so angry her eyes became round, as though she wanted to eat Pei Ge up.

“You have a vile mouth. What’s wrong with me hitting you? I’m just teaching you to speak with filter next time,” Pei Ge spoke calmly, as though she were not the one who had slapped Li Wen.

“Pei Ge, I will fight you!” Li Wen stretched her hands out to grab Pei Ge’s hair and violently push her.

It was just a pity that Pei Ge was actually more agile, stronger, and faster than Li Wen by a lot despite her plump figure.

Pei Ge quickly reacted by stretching out her hand and giving Li Wen a strong push.

Unguarded and having a skinny and light body, Li Wen was easily pushed to the ground.

“Ah!” Li Wen shrieked as her bottom touched the ground, and then she actually fainted.

Ah? Pei Ge’s eyes flashed with suspicion. She did not push too hard earlier, so how could Li Wen faint from just that?

No! Li Wen must be pretending to faint!

Pei Ge’s mouth twitched. Hmph! I want to see just what kind of act she will put up!
