...Chapter 55 Consider it
After watching the fireworks, the two had a dinner for two on the balcony. Xiao Nanxing refused to admit that it was a couple's meal, but Pei Zhengping agreed with her. He was the one who benefited anyway. Someone liked to be stubborn.
After dinner, Pei Zhengping held the red wine and Xiao Nanxing held the juice, and the two leaned on the balcony to admire the magnificent lights of the Bund.
"Pei Zhengping, I want you to do something for me."
Pei Zhengping shook his cup. "What's so serious about this?"
Xiao Nanxing smiled and said, "Nothing much, I just want you to find someone to report me."
Pei Zhengping: "Report you?"
Xiao Nanxing looked at the bustle downstairs with a slightly cold smile, "Yes, I'm not worthy of being in the Health Bureau after reporting me for cheating and plagiarizing my thesis during college."
Pei Zhengping understood after a moment's thought, "Do you want to uncover the truth about the slander you suffered back then?"
Xiao Nanxing really liked his way of thinking, which was in tune with his own. "Yes, I want to report this and have the National Health Bureau initiate an investigation."
Only by making a big deal out of the matter can the truth behind her slander be thoroughly uncovered, and justice and innocence restored to her, and only then can she swallow her anger.
Zhao Yuwen knew the truth of the matter. They had handled the matter very crudely back then, and all kinds of loopholes would be discovered as long as they were investigated.
Therefore, they absolutely dare not bring up this matter again.
Pei Zhengping looked at her seriously, "This involves Ren Mei abusing her power. Once the investigation begins, she will definitely be exposed. You..."
If he pulls out the radish, he will also bring out the mud. He can then expand the scope of the investigation, target Ren Mei, and strike with lightning speed.
But Xiao Nanxing would definitely attract their attention and become the focus.
Xiao Nanxing smiled, "I'm not afraid, I just want to expose her. I know you've been looking for an opportunity to use Ren Mei as a breakthrough point, so let's start with my case. You don't have to bother looking for other breakthrough points."
"But I'm worried about you."
"Secretary Pei, do you have no confidence in yourself?"
Pei Zhengping squeezed her fingers and said, "It's human nature. No matter how confident I am in myself, I will still worry about you."
If it were a stranger, he wouldn't have these concerns.
Once the investigation of Ren Mei and Luo Hai begins, it will be a state of open war.
With the arrogance and vigilance of those people, they will definitely use any means to eliminate all hidden dangers, just like the contractor who disappeared and died unexpectedly abroad.
Xiao Nanxing clinked his cup and said, "I cherish my life just like you."
If Pei Zhengping had not appeared and supported her from behind, she would not have dared to take such a risk.
Pei Zhengping thought for a while, "Before that, you have to promise me a few things. First, you will move into Building 8. Li Rong will follow you 24 hours a day, and I will find two full-time bodyguards for you.
Second, I will announce to the public that you are my official girlfriend and that we are ready to get married. Third, we will probably have to act like a real couple for a while."
Xiao Nanxing looked at him suspiciously, "I have no objection to the first one, but are you deliberately trying to trick me with the last two?"
Pei Zhengping's lips curled up slightly, and he said seriously, "They can deal with ordinary Doctor Xiao without restraint, but they will be more or less cautious about my, Pei Zhengping's, legitimate girlfriend.
I'm just going with the flow and trying to protect you as much as possible. If you ask me, the best way is for us to get married, so they won't dare do anything to you."
Xiao Nanxing rolled his eyes at him, looking like he was asking for trouble. "The abacus beads are falling on my face. Secretary Pei, where's your face?"
Pei Zhengping couldn't help laughing. He just thought her expression was cute and touching. "In order to pursue the one I love, I can temporarily give up my face."
Xiao Nanxing laughed at him.
Pei Zhengping pressed on: "How is it? Do you agree on all three points? If so, I'll immediately arrange for someone to start planning."
Xiao Nanxing gritted his teeth. "I suddenly regretted it, so I should let you worry about it and figure out a solution yourself. Can't I just hire a few more bodyguards? Why should I listen to your arrangements?"
Pei Zhengping nodded very flexibly, "That's indeed a solution. I'm just offering a suggestion."
He continued, "But how many can you hire? Seven or eight? And then every time you go out, you have to go with a large group, telling them clearly that you deliberately provoked this?"
Xiao Nanxing was speechless. She asked him to find someone to report it, just to distance herself from the matter, at least to prevent them from turning their fire on her first.
If they knew that she was the one who started the trouble and was well prepared, they would definitely attack her first.
Pei Zhengping leaned closer, looking deeply into her eyes. "What are you afraid of, Doctor Xiao? Are you afraid that sooner or later our fake will become real?"
Xiao Nanxing pushed him away with the cup, "I'm afraid I'll get you wet and won't be able to get away."
He could break up freely after dating someone else, but if he asked for a breakup after dating Pei Zhengping? With his personality, he would definitely not agree.
Pei Zhengping didn't like what he heard. "I respect your wishes very much. If you still choose not to have me in the end, it will only prove that it's my fault."
"Oh, so confident in yourself?"
"Of course you have to. Don't you have the confidence to catch up with Dr. Xiao? And I won't give you any excuse or reason to leave."
Xiao Nanxing turned around and took a sip of juice, "I'm even more worried about you like this."
Pei Zhengping was at his wit's end. "How about I write a certificate? Proving that if I, Pei Zhengping, make a mistake, Ms. Xiao Nanxing can unilaterally break up with me?"
Xiao Nanxing suddenly realized, "No, we were talking about being a fake couple, how did it get to this point?"
Pei Zhengping was deeply helpless, "Isn't this Dr. Xiao being too serious?"
He didn't even dare to think that the fake play would become real. She was just overthinking it. What else could he do? He could only try his best to eliminate her worries.
At this moment, he deeply understood the helplessness his father felt when facing his mother at certain times.
This feeling is really fresh and not bad.
Xiao Nanxing shut up decisively. She must have been confused by him, so she turned and went into the house.
Pei Zhengping smiled and took two steps to catch up. "Doctor Xiao, we have three points. Do you agree?"
Xiao Nanxing pushed him out of the presidential suite and said, "Let me think about it for one night."
She actually wanted to agree, but she couldn't stand seeing him showing off, so she decided to delay it for one night to make him feel anxious.
Pei Zhengping was pushed out with the cup in his hand. "No, this room has two bedrooms. Can't I stay here for one night?"
"No, thank you for the fireworks tonight, I like them very much. Goodbye, good night." Xiao Nanxing said quickly and slammed the door shut.
Pei Zhengping stood outside the door and took a sip of red wine. He turned and went to the next suite. Uncle Wang opened the door for him and said, "I thought I didn't have to open the door for you tonight."
Pei Zhengping chuckled, "Soon."
Xiao Nanxing leaned against the door to listen to his movements, then chuckled, "Sure enough, he's the best at pushing things further."
How about she block him for a few more days?
The next day, several people set off to go back. Xiao Nanxing observed Pei Zhengping's condition when he got in the car.
He was on the phone and when he caught her gaze, his serious expression relaxed and he motioned for her to wait.
Xiao Nanxing turned his head away from him, lest he take further action.
Pei Zhengping ended the call and asked, "Dr. Xiao, have you made up your mind?"
