Pei Siyu looked at her with eyes as cold as ice and said in a cold voice, "Otherwise?"

Mingyao pinched her palm. "Okay."

She felt a lump in her throat and went to find the medicine with a fierce expression.

What gives Pei Siyu the right to order her around?

So what if she's the boss? So what if Xu Sitian got injured?

Mingyao kept screaming in her heart, getting angrier and angrier the more she thought about it.

Isn't Pei Siyu supposed to be indifferent to women? Why is he so concerned about Xu Sitian?

Xu Sitian's actions were clearly intentional, could it be...?

Mingyao began to have wild thoughts uncontrollably, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

She took the ointment back to the conference room, where many R&D personnel from the technology exhibition had already gathered.

Upon seeing Mingyao, they all turned to look at her.

Mingyao felt ashamed; she didn't fit in with anyone here.

She handed the ointment to Xu Sitian and prepared to run away.

Pei Siyu coldly uttered two words: "Stop."

Her feet seemed glued to the floor, not moving an inch.

The meeting hadn't even started yet, and the huge conference room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Mingyao clenched her fists, nervously watching Pei Siyu, wondering what he was planning to do.

Pei Siyu silently took out the ointment, half-squatted down, and squeezed the ointment onto Xu Sitian's swollen ankle.

No one present, including Xu Sitian, expected Pei Siyu to help apply the medicine.

Mingyao was also stunned, her mind blank as she watched Pei Siyu gently applying the medicine, her breath caught in her throat.

The people in the conference room were just as shocked as Mingyao.

Over the years, apart from Mingyao, whom he has married, no other woman has ever had Pei Siyu personally help him apply medicine.

Now, in front of Ming Yao, his legal wife, and his colleagues, Pei Siyu actually condescended to apply medicine for Xu Sitian!

Xu Sitian's face turned bright red, as if she wanted to pinch her until she bled.

She looked at Pei Siyu shyly, "Thank you, Mr. Pei."

He casually tossed the ointment to Mingyao, his voice so cold that every word he uttered sounded as if it were coated with ice.

"Let's go."

Mingyao held the ointment, her fingers stiff, and a persistent buzzing sound filled her ears.

She hummed in agreement and left the meeting room without looking back.

She walked faster and faster, her mind filled with the image of Pei Siyu applying medicine to Xu Sitian.

Mingyao didn't know how she got to the bathroom. She splashed cold water on her face to force herself to calm down.

She looked in the mirror, and the images of Pei Siyu and Xu Sitian flashed through her mind again.

Mingyao felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if it were being stabbed with needles.

When did she become so concerned about Pei Siyu?

Mingyao returned to her workstation in a daze, looking like a wilted eggplant, feeling utterly powerless.

He was so intimate with Xu Sitian in front of so many people.

What kind of person does Pei Siyu take her for?

Manager Zhang led a young woman in her early twenties over. "Xiao Su, let me introduce you, this is..."

He paused, glanced quickly at the girl, and she gave him a look.

Manager Zhang then said, "Meng Zhenzhen, the new receptionist."

Mingyao belatedly looked at Meng Zhenzhen.

Meng Zhenzhen greeted Mingyao with a sweet smile: "Hello, it's nice to meet you. Please take care of me in the future."

She extended her hand, taking the initiative to show friendliness to Mingyao.

Meng Zhenzhen was born with a round, oval face, and beneath her crescent-shaped eyebrows were a pair of bright, captivating peach blossom eyes.

Mingyao scrutinized Meng Zhenzhen and inexplicably felt that she and Pei Siyu looked somewhat alike.

Especially the eyebrows and eyes, they are at least three-tenths similar.

Mingyao gently grasped her hand: "My name is Su Xueya. I hope to get to know you better in the future."

She remembered a girl who came for a receptionist interview before, but left after only a few days.

Having a new colleague is good; I won't be lonely anymore.

"Xiao Su, please take good care of Zhenzhen."

“Zhenzhen is still young and needs to be taught everything.”

Mingyao nodded, reassuring Manager Zhang.

She found it strange that Manager Zhang cared so much about Meng Zhenzhen.

Judging from Meng Zhenzhen's clothes and appearance, she looks like a rich young lady from a wealthy family, and has nothing to do with ordinary working people.

Meng Zhenzhen stared at Mingyao with great curiosity and asked with a smile, "Can I call you Sister Su?"

Mingyao hummed in agreement. "Okay, how old are you this year?"

"I just turned twenty."

She is indeed young, but shouldn't a twenty-year-old be on a university campus?

Meng Zhenzhen saw what Mingyao was about to ask and grinned, "I was unwell before and had to take a break from school."

"Before returning to school, I want to experience more of life,"

Mingyao nodded thoughtfully. No wonder she felt that Meng Zhenzhen's skin was whiter than that of ordinary people.

"Okay, feel free to ask me if you need any help."

Meng Zhenzhen was indeed very blunt, asking Mingyao any questions she had.

She seems to have a million whys, asking one every few minutes.

Mingyao wasn't in a good mood either, so answering questions for Meng Zhenzhen helped to distract her, which she enjoyed doing.

Meng Zhenzhen looked at her with sparkling eyes, her gaze shining as if she wanted to imprint Mingyao's entire being into her eyes.

"Sister, you are so kind."

Mingyao felt a little embarrassed when Meng Zhenzhen stared at her, and smiled, saying, "I just did what I was supposed to do."

As it was nearing the end of the workday, the assistant came over and said, "Ms. Su, would you please order dinner for 20 minutes?"

Mingyao was stunned. Wasn't this the secretary's job? Why was she being asked to do it again?

"Okay." She had some doubts, but she obediently did as she was told.

The assistant looked at Mingyao, somewhat hesitant.
