Chapter 4 Pei Helps Coax People
Pei Wu suddenly turned around, and Lu Xiwen was standing at the door.
Meanwhile, Lan Zhe, the special assistant who had been away on a business trip, also returned. He had been with Lu Xiwen for three whole years, and it was said that the two were alumni and that Lan Zhe was an A-level Alpha.
Lu Xiwen walked in with a cold and solemn expression.
Unlike Ji Bin, whose pheromones spread like poison gas throughout the room when he released them, top-tier Alphas can precisely control the range of their pheromones.
And Ji Bin is currently within this range.
The competition between Alphas is very straightforward and simple: whoever has the higher level is the boss. Ji Bin hasn't lost control of his bladder yet, which is entirely due to Lu Xiwen showing mercy.
Changrong never discriminates against any secondary sexual characteristics. Omega accounts for one-fifth of the employees. Therefore, the company has a clear rule that no intentional release of pheromones is allowed, so as to avoid irreversible consequences if one party is in a feverish or susceptible period. Not to mention that Alphas using pheromones to suppress Betas and Omegas is simply an act of oppression.
Ji Bin didn't need to make excuses. Top-tier pheromones wouldn't be wrong in their judgment of the same kind. In fact, Lu Xiwen could smell a very unpleasant emotion in the pheromones that Ji Bin had just released.
Lan Zhe glanced at Ji Bin lying on the ground. It wasn't unjust; he had been caught in the crossfire.
Lan Zhe has a cold and aloof appearance and rarely smiles, but his gaze toward Pei Wu at this moment is not hostile; it is merely a simple sizing.
When Pei Wu joined the company, Lan Zhe had already been sent abroad, so this was the first time the two met.
With a single glance from Lan Zhe, Pei Wu quickly understood and stepped forward to stand beside him, behind Lu Xiwen.
“Pei Wu, tell me what happened,” Lu Xiwen said in a deep voice.
Pei Wu paused, then calmly began to recount the events. Lu Xi interrupted after listening for a couple of sentences: "Do you really need to come down and copy the data yourself?"
One of the team members who often hung out with Ji Bin couldn't help but say, "President Lu, it's Assistant Pei himself who didn't want to trouble us."
"Really?" Lu Xiwen looked at the man. "Have you done your job properly?"
The other party dared not deny it. Pei Wu had been handling the project alone all this time, but with Ji Bin backing him up, they hadn't taken it seriously. However, if President Lu caught them, the nature of the matter would change.
"Of course! Don't worry, Mr. Lu!"
"Looking for death," Pei Wu thought.
As expected, Lu Xi asked, "What stage is the contract with Banluosha at?"
Silence fell over the surroundings.
Is there anything else Lu Xiwen doesn't understand?
He gave Pei Wu a "royal sword," but Pei Wu not only didn't use it, but was also treated like a sucker and fleeced. No wonder she's been listless these past few days, yet acts as if nothing has happened.
Lu Xi remained silent, but the pheromone shield made Ji Bin roll his eyes repeatedly.
"Go report to the HR department in a bit," Lan Zhe said.
One employee was startled: "No, no, Assistant Lan, what does this have to do with us?"
"If you can ask that question, then it's no wonder you were fired," Lan Zhe said coldly. "Group bullying is strictly prohibited, and the collaboration with Half Sunset was a Class A project for the company. You get paid but do absolutely nothing. You're not wrong, and I am?"
"President Lu, this is all Team Leader Ji's idea..."
"Fool," Lu Xiwen said coldly, "He told you to die, did you die or not?"
Pei Wu never expected things to turn out this way.
Then, the next second, Lu Xiwen turned to look at him.
Pei Wu: "..."
Sure enough, Lu Xiwen started spewing venom: "You're even dumber than them!"
Pei Wu: "…………"
Lu Xiwen didn't even glance at the half-dead Ji Bin, then withdrew his pheromones and strode away.
Lan Zhe felt that President Lu's outburst this time was different from before. Just as he was hesitating, Pei Wu whispered, "I'll have to trouble Assistant Lan with this."
After saying this, he quickly followed Lu Xiwen.
Although completely bewildered, Lan Zhe prioritized dealing with the mess at hand. "If you have any objections, you can file a complaint with the relevant departments. And you, Ji Bin," Lan Zhe said with a disdainful look, "Whether it's company regulations or the ABO Protection Law, once an Alpha releases pheromones to attack without cause, it is directly considered an act of violence and can be subject to coercive measures."
The implication is that we'll hit you if we want, regardless of the day.
Lan Zhe glanced at his watch: "Get your things packed up before 2 p.m. to make room for the newcomer."
There are plenty of people who want to join Changrong. Getting rid of these parasites will be a good opportunity to inject some fresh blood.
As soon as Lan Zhe left, the team members looked at each other in bewilderment, all of them panicked and filled with regret. They all looked at Ji Bin with eyes that seemed to want to devour him.
"Are you mute?!"
Pei Wu had just closed the door when he heard Lu Xiwen's angry questioning.
It is said that top-tier Alphas are rational enough, lack human warmth, and their emotions are as unpredictable as the deep sea. But Lu Xiwen is obviously not like that. He is often critical, mocking, and unbearable, as if he is someone who does not belong to this dimension and has been forcibly pulled into it. Because of his strength, he is too lazy to pretend, and his dislike is written all over his face.
Pei Wu looked at him: "President Lu, it's not like that."
Lu Xiwen raised an eyebrow slightly, indicating that he should speak.
"There is indeed some clique behavior in Ji Bin's group, but it's not a big deal. General Manager Zhang values this project highly, and it's also an excellent learning opportunity for me. I've warned Ji Bin to put my name in the project leader's column. When we meet to discuss it, it will be immediately clear whether they've participated or not..."
Before Pei Wu could finish speaking, Lu Xiwen curled his lips into a cold smile, his gaze sharp.
This person is strikingly beautiful, with the perfect bone structure of a top-tier Alpha. Even when making expressions that should be annoying, they seem as if they were meticulously crafted by God.
“Pei Wu.” Lu Xi’s voice deepened. “In the end, you’re firstly greedy for credit, and secondly, you don’t believe I’ll stand on your side at all. You’ve gritted your teeth and endured it; you’re really something.”
Pei Wu felt uneasy as everything was predicted to be correct.
Lu Xiwen sat down at his desk, backlit, his features shrouded in darkness. When he didn't speak, even the air seemed to tighten, yet a faint scent lingered around his nose, making Pei Wu unable to help but relax and find it very pleasant.
Under these circumstances, Pei Wu suddenly felt less afraid. He thought for a moment and said, "President Lu, I don't want to cause you any trouble."
After a moment of silence, Pei Wu continued, "Would you like some black tea? My Jin Jun Mei tea has arrived."
After saying that, he went to the break room. "Mr. Lu, you're so angry, should I put some ice in?"
Lu Xiwen asked, "Who puts ice in their tea?"
The tone was rather cold, but at least they responded.
Pei Wu smiled gently: "Okay."
Lan Zhe pushed open the door, carrying the documents. He had made a lot of progress on his trip, but as soon as he entered, he saw the new personal assistant (to be determined) bringing a cup of fragrant tea to President Lu and saying, "The temperature is just right."
Lu Xiwen took it with a sour face, then lowered his head and took a sip.
Lan Zhe finally realized what the strange feeling in his heart was when Pei Wu chased Lu Xiwen out earlier.
So Pei Zhu... was just trying to fool people?
