Pei Ji stroked her face with his thumb, then lowered his head and gave her a hard kiss on the lips.

Who knew I would run into her.

The teasing, which had started as a lighthearted affair, suddenly took a turn for the worse.

He parted her lips, looked down at her, and his gaze behind his glasses gradually became deep and lingering.

His gaze lingered on her misty eyes.

In an instant, it transformed into a long, melodious tune, playing softly in the hearts of the two people.

Pei Ji's eyes darkened.

He leaned down and slowly approached her lips.

Shen Zhiyi almost melted from his burning gaze, her whole body went limp in his arms, and her eyes lingered on his lips.

Their breathing grew heavier, almost intertwined.

The two of them slowly moved closer to each other.

"Knock knock knock—"

The sudden knocking on the door interrupted the idyllic moment.

"President Pei? Are you there?"

Shen Zhiyi suddenly froze.

He shoved Pei Ji away abruptly.

He frowned unhappily, but before he could answer, Yi Cheng's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Huh? The door's unlocked?"

"Shall I come in?"

Shen Zhiyi's pupils dilated, and with a leap, she jumped directly off Pei Ji.

The impact made his glasses tilt.

Yi Cheng pushed open the door.

"President Pei... Hey, Zhiyi, you're here?" Her voice softened as her gaze slowly swept over the two of them.

Shen Zhiyi stood to the side, her hair slightly disheveled and her face flushed.

Pei Ji took off his glasses and slowly wiped them with a lens cloth.

Yi Cheng: ...

"you……"

"We're perfectly fine!" Shen Zhiyi said anxiously.

Yi Cheng raised her eyebrows.

It seems something's wrong.

This is a big deal.

"Did Manager Yi need something from me?"

Pei Ji tossed the mirror cloth onto the table, put his glasses back on, lifted his eyelids, and looked at Yi Cheng.

Yi Cheng nodded.

"I'm here to see Zhiyi. There are some issues that I should discuss with her face-to-face before we can talk about them."

"Also, General Manager Jiang asked me to bring these documents to you."

She waved the documents in her hand.

"Put it there." Pei Ji raised his chin and pointed to the desk not far away.

Yi Cheng walked over and put down the documents.

Shen Zhiyi: "Manager Yi, let's go over the details of the discussion now."

Pei Ji frowned. "Aren't you going to eat?"

"I'm not very hungry yet, let's eat later." Shen Zhiyi was extremely embarrassed and just wanted to leave with Yi Cheng as soon as possible.

If Yi Cheng were to wait for her outside after she finished eating, the level of awkwardness would increase exponentially.

The food tasted bland and unappetizing.

It's better to discuss it beforehand and then eat it slowly.

Yi Cheng nodded, "Alright, I'll just go over some details, it'll be quick."

"It won't interfere with your meal."

Her smile was meaningful.

Shen Zhiyi hurriedly walked out, her face flushed.

We got outside.

Yi Cheng didn't ask any further questions.

He simply gave Shen Zhiyi the contact information of a few clients.

We also exchanged customer information.

The key points of discussion for tomorrow.

She was somewhat surprised to see the documents on Shen Zhiyi's desk covered with dense annotations.

"You've gathered so much information in such a short time?"

She took another closer look at the annotations.

They all directly address the core of the problem.

The surprise in his eyes faded, gradually replaced by appreciation.

Shen Zhiyi smiled and said, "It's always better to be prepared."

Yi Cheng smiled and nodded, "I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

"Tomorrow, it's all up to you."

She watched Shen Zhiyi organize the documents and suddenly said, "I'm going inside to talk to President Pei about something. I'll come out and find you later."

Shen Zhiyi nodded.

Yi Cheng pushed open the door and walked into Pei Ji's office.

I saw him taking the dishes on the table and putting them into the microwave to heat them up.

The expression on Yi Cheng's face was even more interesting than when she had just caught them being intimate.

President Pei...

How dare you condescend to do such a servant's job?

I heard that even Jiang Chengbo has to serve him tea and water...

Yi Cheng closed the door and said directly, "President Pei, I want to ask, what is your relationship with Zhiyi?"

Pei Ji stopped moving.

He turned his head, a gentle smile on his face, and adjusted his glasses.

"What other relationship could there be?"

"As Manager Yi can see, they are just ordinary superiors and subordinates."

At home, and at certain times.

She goes up, he goes down.

Yi Cheng is a shrewd person in the company, so how could she not see how much he cared?

He hurriedly smiled and said, "President Pei, I'm the kind of person who likes to speak my mind."

“I admire Zhiyi and want to recruit her to be the second-in-command of my department. If we can reach an agreement tomorrow, President Jiang will definitely agree.”

"It all depends on whether you're willing to release them."

"If you are interested in Zhiyi, transfer her to my department, and you can date openly."

"Of course, if that's not your intention, then I hope you won't interfere and will let Zhiyi make her own choice."

"After all, coming here is much more promising than working in the Secretariat."

A dark light flashed behind Pei Ji's glasses.

"If she has her own career plans, as her boss, of course I won't stop her."

"However, it depends on whether she can accept Manager Yi's appreciation."

Yi Cheng was slightly surprised.

Surprisingly, President Pei respects Zhiyi quite a bit.

It seems like it's not just ordinary liking.

...

After Yi Cheng left, Shen Zhiyi's stomach growled.

"You've decided to come for dinner?"

She looked up and saw Pei Ji standing by the door with his arms crossed, looking at her with a half-smile.

Shen Zhiyi leaned closer, feeling a little embarrassed.
