Chapter 57 She also wanted to see him lost in thought, completely absorbed.
Shi Yang was suddenly picked up and carried away.
She gasped as her body levitated and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Ji Peiheng carried her out of the study in a large arm.
They kicked open the bedroom door.
Shi Yang was placed on the bed, and kisses fell from her brow to the tip of her nose, her cheeks, and finally to that soft, pink spot.
His fingers brushed against a patch of heat, stopping at the collar.
"Why are these buttons so hard to undo?"
Shi Yang's eyelashes trembled, and a hint of watery red appeared at the corners of her eyes: "Please be patient..."
It turns out that men in bed have very little patience.
Ji Peiheng tugged at the button, and it came off and rolled onto Shi Yang's white neck.
"Those are my new pajamas..." Shi Yang pressed his hand down, calling out with heartache.
Ji Peiheng gave her a comforting kiss on the eyes, his voice hoarse: "I'll make you ten more tomorrow, let's get down to business first..."
...
When Shi Yang woke up the next day.
Ji Peiheng was already dressed neatly and was tying his tie in front of the mirror.
Shi Yang still remembered his roughness last night; the first thing he did was search the entire bed for his pajamas.
Finally, they found a crumpled piece of fabric in the corner.
The pajamas suffered terribly; not only were they torn, but he also used them to wipe his body last night.
It's completely unwearable now.
Ji Peiheng watched her subtle movements in the mirror, his gaze lingering on the piece of fabric: "Reminiscing?"
Shi Yang looked at him resentfully: "Ji Peiheng, do you still remember what you promised me last night?"
Ji Peiheng fastened his tie, walked to the bedside, leaned over, and propped himself up on the bed with his arms: "Why the rush? Didn't you say it would be tonight?"
Shi Yang stared at him, puzzled. Seeing the obvious smile in his eyes, some memories from last night surfaced in her mind.
After we finished yesterday, she was exhausted, like she'd been pulled out of water, completely drained. He, on the other hand, was wide awake, calmly watching her lose herself in the moment…
She's being unfair.
Ji Peiheng carried her to wash, her snow-white feet dangling in the air. She said, "Next time I want to be on top too."
Watching him lose himself, completely absorbed in it.
"Okay, whatever you say. You'll be in charge next time."
Shi Yang snapped out of her daze, a blush suddenly creeping onto her face: "I didn't mean that."
She threw her pajamas at him, and they slipped off his handsome face and hung on his shoulders.
"You promised to compensate me for my pajamas."
Ji Peiheng clutched the fabric in his hand, drawing out his words in a drawn-out tone: "Oh, it's a misunderstanding..."
He was handsome, with thick, striking features, and a nonchalant tone, both roguish and dashing.
Shi Yang jumped off the bed and went into the bathroom: "I'm not talking to you anymore."
A moment later, a crisp knock came at the door.
"You'll see your pajamas when you get home from get off work."
...
As soon as Shi Yang arrived at the company in the morning, he was "invited" to Su Yuan's office.
Shi Yang had anticipated that Qi Xue would retaliate against her because of what happened last night, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
"Did Manager Su want to see me about something?"
Su Yuan's face darkened: "I heard you've been under a lot of pressure lately. The company's senior management held a meeting and decided that Qi Xue will be in charge of Ji's projects from now on. You should take some time to adjust."
Qi Xue, who was standing nearby, chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Thank you, Manager Su."
Shi Yang laughed angrily: "Replacing someone just like that, isn't Manager Su being too arbitrary? Qi Xue hasn't even been with the company as long as Xiao Yan. With her seniority, what gives her the right? Does the Ji family agree to this?"
Su Yuan slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and glared at him, saying, "All projects are based on merit. The company values ability, not seniority. Qi Xue may not have been here long, but she already has the ability to take charge of the resort project. Shi Yang, don't think the company can't function without you. There are plenty of people better than you. Don't think that just because President Ji gave you a second glance, you can't find your place."
Shi Yang said calmly, "Manager Su, there are indeed many people more capable than me, but Qi Xue is definitely not among them. Even if she were to use nepotism, she probably wouldn't be qualified to be in charge of such a high-level project!"
Su Yuan was enraged: "Shi Yang, do you even want to keep this job?! Let me tell you, if you continue with this attitude, you'll never be able to touch a project again in your life. I'm putting my words on you!"
Shi Yang pursed her lips, gave a cold smile, then took off the tag around her neck and threw it on Su Yuan's desk: "I have always maintained a very proper attitude. Judging from your company's development trend, it should not be far from going bankrupt."
Su Yuan's nose was crooked with anger: "What did you say!"
Shi Yang was too lazy to say anything more. There was no point in staying in a company that relied on nepotism and connections.
She slammed the door and left.
...
Ji Shi.
After the meeting, Ji Peiheng returned to his office to work on documents.
Liao Nan delivered a stack of the latest documents.
The one from Yuelan Design Company is placed at the top.
Ji Peiheng reached out and opened the document.
When I saw the design drawings and design explanations that were clearly inconsistent with the previous style, my eyebrows rose. And when I saw that the designer's name had been changed to someone I didn't recognize at all, my eyebrows fell.
He looked up: "What happened?"
Liao Nan was puzzled, but when she saw the name "Qi Xue" clearly, she had the same question in her eyes.
The signature here has always been "wife," but the change in signature now means that the chief designer has also changed.
Ji Peiheng remained expressionless, tossing the terrible-looking design aside: "I didn't know that the client doesn't need to notify the contractor when changing designers?"
"I'll go and find out."
Liao Nan immediately contacted Yue Lan.
After hanging up the phone, she immediately reported to Ji Peiheng: "President Ji, Yuelan said they changed designers at the last minute this morning and didn't have time to inform us. They also said..."
"say what?"
"They said the original design was unworthy of its position."
...
Shi Yang was packing his things in the office.
When she came out carrying her things, a group of onlookers had gathered outside the door.
Xiao Yan rushed over anxiously: "Sis, what happened? You're really quitting?"
Shi Yang shrugged: "What could possibly happen? I'm just quitting."
Jian Qinian's eyes behind his glasses were filled with worry. He grabbed her arm and said, "This isn't your problem. Come on! I'll take you to reason with them."
"No need, it's pointless." Shi Yang pulled his arm away: "You guys do your job well, I'm leaving first."
I've only taken a few steps.
Qi Xue caught up from behind, looking at her mockingly: "Weren't you so arrogant yesterday? Why are you speechless now? Should I call your rich boyfriend over to help you? I want to see what kind of job you can find after leaving our company?"
"Get out of the way! I don't want to argue with a dog!"
Qi Xue crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow: "Like you said, so what if I have connections? Manager Su is my cousin. Go find yourself a backer if you're so capable. Shi Yang, we'll see. I'm sure you'll be worse off than me. You might be begging on the street at my door, and maybe I'll even give you some leftovers if I'm in a good mood. Remember to wag your tail then. Oh wait, I forgot, you also have a rich boyfriend..."
