Meeting Him As His Employee
“He doesn’t eat people, does he?” Lin Jiao looked at her troubled expression and wanted to laugh. “Don’t scare yourself.”
“But I’m still afraid.”
“Then talk to him on WeChat?”
“Will it work?” Pei Yilan expressed her doubts, frowning.
“Should be alright.” Lin Jiao comforted her. “When are you going to come to the company?”
“Thursday.” Pei Yilan brushed her messy hair away and took two sips of water. “How do you feel today?”
“Not bad.”
“Are there any handsome men in your department?”
“…I didn’t pay attention to that.”
Pei Yilan kept talking nonsense. Lin Jiao made an excuse and hung up. Seeing that it was still early, she went back to nap.
The air conditioner in the planning department was on full blast. She lay on the table for a moment and felt a chill run down her spine.
No longer sleepy, she opened Taobao. Just as she was about to buy two blankets and pillows, another message popped up on WeChat.
Pei Zhi: “What are you doing?”
“Shopping on Taobao.” Lin Jiao answered truthfully, not forgetting to show concern for him. “Didn’t you take an afternoon nap?”
“I don’t have an afternoon nap habit.”
Staring at the computer screen, Pei Zhi was lost in deep thought for a moment before asking, “Are you free tonight?”
“Yes, why?”
“I want to treat you to a meal.”
Only then did Lin Jiao remember that she still owed him a meal.
“Let me treat you.”
“Lin, come over for a moment.” Wu Xiuwen lowered his voice to call her to avoid disturbing his other colleagues.
He handed a stack of documents to her. “Send this to Assistant Qu on the top floor.”
“Okay.” Lin Jiao walked to the top floor as quickly as possible.
Qu Shao was stunned when he saw her.
He stared at her work pass and looked at it several times. “Miss Lin, when did you join us?”
“Today.”
“No wonder…”
Lin Jiao did not hear what he was muttering.
She placed the documents in front of him and said in a respectful tone, “Manager Wu asked me to give these to you.”
“Miss Lin, you don’t have to be so… respectful.”
“Alright, you can just call me Lin too.”
Qu Shao pointed at the CEO’s office diagonally opposite. “I still have a video conference to attend. Can you help me send these in?”
Of course, Lin Jiao would not refuse.
She stood in front of the CEO’s office and tidied her clothes and hair before knocking on the door.
“Come in.” The man’s deep voice sounded.
Lin Jiao pressed the door handle and slowly walked to the table.
He was staring at something on the table and did not even look up at her.
���President Pei.”
A voice that he remembered by heart sounded in his ear. Pei Zhi suddenly looked up and saw that beautiful face.
Her outfit today was especially different.
A satin white shirt gave her an aura of a professional office lady, but the water blue A-line skirt, on the other hand, added a tinge of cuteness to her overall professional outfit.
Pei Zhi’s gaze landed on those long legs for a few seconds, and the darkness in her eyes disappeared.
He looked into her eyes. “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming to Sheng Heng?”
Lin Jiao pulled out the chair opposite him and sat down. “I was afraid you’d pull some strings to help me.”
