She started becoming busy after the man dropped by .
She was busy with the project he had mentioned and with preparing for the tricks that the director might spring against her anytime .
At least, she managed to pass these days in comfort and gratification .
She was not as idle and bored as she was before .
“Manager, this is all the information that you requested . ”
“Okay . Leave it there . ”
“Manager, these are the numbers that you asked for . ”
“Okay . I got them . ”
“Manager…”
She had just arrived at work when several employees started reporting back to her on the work she had delegated .
Her days at the Ji Group had not been the best .
Still, she must admit that the employees here were all crème de la crème !
She had only issued down the work yesterday and everyone had already finished them today .
Moreover, these people’s work outputs were not sloppy but were actually done well .
She got more and more surprised as she read through their given files .
However, before she could peruse them further, a man who could make her unable to concentrate on work appeared in her office .
“Ziming, why are you here?” She looked at him in surprise .
“This is my company . Can’t I be here?”
“Pfft! Yes, yes, yes . You are the big boss here, so of course you can!” She got up from her chair and happily made her way to him .
Seeing her bright smile, the man met her halfway .
“Have you gotten used to working here?”
As he asked that, he flipped open some of the files on her table .
He quickly frowned when he read through them .
Meanwhile, upon seeing him frown, she tried to recall what she had said that offended him .
“What are you frowning for? I’m totally fine!” She glared at him, feeling guiltily .
Don’t tell me that this annoying fellow has seen through me?!
As she was feeling unsure, he spoke again, and what he said caused her to be flabbergasted and at a loss .
“Why are all these files related to Fu Mingxuan’s project? When did you two contact each other?”
He put down the files in hand and raised a brow at her .
“Er…”
She blinked at him, feeling a little speechless .
“Why? You are you getting angry? Did you quarrel with him?” she asked quizzically .
“Reject this project . ”
He did not answer her question but simply coolly issued this order .
“Huh? Reject it? Why?”
She was completely baffled . She could not fathom why he would say such words .
“What’s wrong with you today?”
Seeing her look of puzzlement, he also realized that what he had done was too sudden .
“Pass his project to the director . You don’t need to do it,” he calmly ordered her . Although he remained expressionless, one could tell that he was opposed to this matter from how he kept telling her to do such things .
“Huh?! Pass it to the director?”
Taken aback, she widened her eyes at him .
“Why can’t I take charge of this project? Why are you making me pass it to her?”
Don’t you know that the director and I have enmity?
Forget about you telling me to reject this project, but you even want me to pass it to the director! That is a definite no!
I need this project to make a turnaround!
“Whatever it is, I won’t relinquish this project to someone else, and it’s even more impossible for me to give it to the director . ”
Before he could speak, she resolutely declared this .
“Why must you do this project?”
The man’s frown deepened upon hearing this .
“Why are you forcing me to give it up?”
She rolled her eyes at him and nudged her lips in exasperation .
Seriously, did he come over just to say this to me? He’s really infuriating!
“I have my reasons for saying that . ”
He lightly coughed and replied blandly upon seeing her roll her eyes .
“Anyway, it’s fine as long as you understand what I mean . This project—”
“This project, I’ll definitely finish it . You don’t need to worry . ”
She interrupted him while beaming .
Sensing her anger, his expressionless face froze .
“Alright, CEO . If there’s nothing else, please leave; I am very busy right now . ”
Her anger did not subside from his adorable look and just proceeded to say that .
Her politeness made it seem as if they only had a superior-subordinate relationship .
“… Pei Ge!”
After a long pause, he finally recovered his senses . He tightly grabbed her wrist and stared at her .
She was taken aback by his act of grabbing her, but when she turned and saw his expression, she was even more surprised .
How was his face that same bland and nonchalant expression from moments ago?
Now, his expression was very complicated .
If a term must be used to describe his expression now, it would be… that he was afraid – afraid to lose something or someone .
“Ziming?”
How could she still have the mind to be angry with him when he was like this? Other than being worried about him, she could think of nothing else .
“Pei Ge… reject this project . ”
His lips were pursed into a straight line and his voice sounded as if he were begging .
“… Why?”
Why must you make me reject this project?
“Because…
“… Mingxuan likes…”
