This battle, which was about to erupt, was snuffed out in the cradle by his compromise.

When she heard him admit defeat, she finally calmed down and spoke in a less angry tone. Letting down her guard, she said in a low voice,””CEO Ji, there are some things that I think it’s better to make clear to you. I’m your Special Assistant, but I’m not your Canary or your lover who you can order around! I still hope that we can keep an appropriate distance. ”

Hearing this, the anger in Ji Ziming’s heart burned once more. He felt that his compromise just now had only resulted in her drawing a clear line between them. His brows, which had not yet relaxed, continued to furrow.”Pei Pei, what are you saying? Can you repeat that?”

With that, he walked closer to her.

She was not afraid of his approach and, instead, raised her chin even higher.

He said with certainty again,”I visited you last night out of my subordinate’s concern and good intentions, but I really didn’t mean to break your photo frame.” But today, I just took a day off to go out with a friend to do something, and I was accused of being a female employee with bad character. I don’t think I did anything wrong. ”

“I don’t care. You’re my personal assistant. Without my permission, you can’t go out with another man!” His explanation was like a scoundrel ‘s, and he did not dare to look her in the eye.

PEI GE pursed her lips even tighter in anger, her eyes filled with grievance and resentment.

He caught her expression from the corner of his eye and continued,””What’s more, how did you get your leave? How could she let that man just send a text message and call her? No matter what, you’re still my Special Assistant. Ji group is a big company. Don’t tell me you didn’t even call me personally when you asked for leave?”

PEI GE felt even more aggrieved. Her eyes turned red as if they were about to tear up, but she forced herself to hold it in.

He thought that she was really crying from anger, so he quickly put down his hands that were on his waist and looked at her with his deep eyes, which were filled with heartache.””Pei Pei, I’m telling the truth. Why do you look so wronged?”

He was clearly feeling a little guilty when he said this. In fact, he also knew that he was making a mountain out of a molehill out of jealousy.

She pursed her lips and did not answer him directly. Instead, she said in a sobbing tone,””CEO Ji, I’ve already made it clear to you that I’m taking leave. If you still can’t take this lying down, feel free to deduct my salary. Also, please return my phone to me! I’m going out to continue my work. ”

As she said this, she reached out her slender hand to him. Her eyes were already filled with tears, but she forced them back and allowed them to roll around her eyes.

Ji Ziming’s brows furrowed. He felt that she was obviously resenting him, so he naturally would not let her go so easily. Thus, he pressed down on her shoulders and said with eyes full of bitterness,””No, Pei Pei, you misunderstood me. I’m not using my power to oppress you, I … I’m just …”

Ji Ziming wanted to explain the situation clearly. From the start, he only wanted Pei Pei to stay by his side and not let those men of unknown origins, including Shen Feng, have their thoughts run wild. However, as he spoke and did, he seemed to have put himself in an even more difficult situation.

“CEO Ji, you don’t have to explain too much to me. You’re the CEO, so you have your own way of thinking and doing things. If we, your subordinates, can’t understand, you can continue to follow your line of thought. Anyway, you’re the one who hired us and the company belongs to you. Even if you’re wrong in the end, you can bear the consequences. So, what are the thoughts of US Small fish and shrimps?” As she said this, her eyes welled up with tears.

The man’s brows furrowed even more as he closed his eyes, not knowing how to continue the conversation.

She insisted on stretching out her hands.””CEO Ji, please return my phone to me. I haven’t been to the office this morning, and there’s still a pile of work waiting for me.”

He slowly opened his eyes and could only helplessly return the phone to her.

She held her phone and walked out of his office in high spirits, causing him to kick the sofa chair in frustration.

In the meeting room, Liu Lina had already poured a glass of water for Cheng Qian and was eagerly waiting for the two to come for the second interview.

Cheng Qian, on the other hand, was not in a hurry as he slowly sipped his water. Thinking back to the way the two had acted earlier, he felt that their relationship was not simple.

Suddenly, a devilish smile appeared on his face as he muttered in his heart,””The relationships in this industry are really complicated. Heh, that woman si linna is thinking about Ji Ziming, but he’s thinking about his personal assistant! Hmph, I’d like to see how you guys end up in the end!”

At this moment, PEI GE quickly tidied up her things in the washroom and entered the meeting room with light steps. She first looked at Liu Lina with a strange expression before turning to Cheng Qian with a standard smile. “I’m sorry, Cheng Qian, for making you wait so long. I’ll bring you to see CEO Ji now. ”

Liu Lina interrupted,’eh, Pei Pei, didn’t CEO Ji say that he’ll be in the meeting room? Why did you ask him to take you to his office?”

The smile on PEI GE’s face immediately disappeared, still brooding over the joke she had made on her and Cheng Qian.””I don’t know how to explain this to you, director Liu. In any case, it’s CEO Ji’s orders.”

After he finished speaking, he looked away from Liu Lina with disdain and smiled at Cheng Qian.””Cheng Qian, sorry for the trouble, please come with me!” As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation.

Cheng Qian laughed dryly, stood up, and elegantly adjusted his lapels.””Aiya, the Ji group’s gates are so hard to enter. Fortunately, I, Cheng Qian, am not the kind of person who cower at the slightest difficulty. Alright, I’ll have to trouble miss Pei Pei to bring me there. Let’s go. ”

Then, he walked toward the door of the conference room.

PEI GE sighed and followed Cheng Qian, leaving Liu Lina in the meeting room, dumbfounded.

Suddenly, she received a text message on her phone. It was from ah hei. “I’ve just received news that my men have arrived and have almost settled the matters at the branch company. Even if he wants to find someone to investigate me, I’m confident that he’ll dispel his concerns and cooperate with me. We must get this order. Then, as long as we find an excuse to mess up the order, we can destroy his reputation in Southeast Asia!”
