Chapter 149 The whole company knows
Fortunately, it was the weekend and Pei Song didn’t have to go to the company.
Shi Yanchen had been on a business trip for a week and had a lot of work piled up, but he was worried about Pei Song's health, so he asked his assistant to send all the documents to his home.
He left the door of the study ajar so that he could hear Pei Song's movements at any time.
Every once in a while, he would put down the documents in his hand and tiptoe to the bedside.
Pei Song was sleeping soundly, with an abnormal flush on his face.
Shi Yanchen felt his forehead and found the temperature was a little high.
He immediately went to get the fever-reducing patch and gently placed it on Pei Song's forehead.
I also adjusted the air conditioning temperature to ensure that I wouldn’t catch a cold.
He brought a cup of warm water and placed it on the bedside, fearing that Pei Song would wake up and be thirsty.
After doing all this, he was still a little worried, so he took out the medical monograph with densely noted notes from the bookshelf and carefully compared the symptoms.
After ruling out a series of infectious and non-infectious factors, he confirmed that it was because the body had some stress response the first time, and he had consumed too much physical energy last night, and he might have caught a cold while taking a bath, which caused Pei Song to have a fever.
Looking at Pei Song's slightly frowned brows, Shi Yanchen secretly blamed himself in his heart.
I had done so much homework and looked up so much information, but I still wasn't able to take better care of him.
At noon, Pei Song turned over and frowned subconsciously.
Shi Yanchen immediately put down the documents in his hand, walked over, and gently massaged his sore waist.
"Would you like to eat something?" he asked softly, "I made some porridge and some side dishes."
Pei Song shook his head dazedly and huddled deeper into the quilt.
Shi Yanchen tucked the quilt in for him, leaned over and kissed his forehead: "Then sleep a little longer, call me when you're hungry."
He touched Pei Song's forehead again and found that the temperature had dropped a little.
Recalling the contents of the medical monograph, I confirmed that all symptoms were improving.
MAX was also very sensible and lay down beside the bed to help him take care of the baby.
Seeing Pei Song sleeping soundly, Shi Yanchen returned to the study.
In the evening, Shi Yanchen was having a video conference with the project team.
He sat at the oak desk in his study, with several documents spread out on the table and this week's progress report displayed on the projector.
"Last week, the connection with the headquarters in Country D went smoothly," Zhou Feng was reporting. "They were very satisfied with our system architecture, especially the FPGA-based matching engine..."
Jin Shuning was carefully recording the key points of the meeting at another window.
The other participants were also listening attentively to Zhou Feng's report.
At this time, the door of the study was gently pushed open.
Pei Song walked in sleepily, his hair was a little messy, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Leon, where is the antipyretic medicine?"
"I'll find it for you." Shi Yanchen's voice came from the desk, "Everyone take a break for ten minutes."
Pei Song then realized that he was in a meeting. His face turned red instantly and he hurriedly backed away, almost tripping over himself.
Shi Yanchen glanced at the computer screen and saw more than a dozen familiar faces looking at him with gossipy expressions.
Zhou Feng's expression was a little subtle, while Jin Shuning lowered his head and pretended to take notes, but there was clearly a smile on the corner of his mouth.
I vaguely heard some chuckles and whispers coming from over there.
"Hey, was that voice just now Manager Pei?"
"So the president and Manager Pei are..."
"This 'Leon' is so affectionate..."
"No wonder the CEO changed today's communication meeting to a video conference..."
Shi Yanchen immediately closed the meeting window.
Pei Song buried himself in the sofa in the living room, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
MAX came over and rubbed his hand, as if to comfort him.
"It's over, it's over. Now the whole company knows about this." He thought in annoyance.
Not only did he crash into an important meeting, but he also called Shi Yanchen in such an intimate tone...
After a while, Shi Yanchen came out with antipyretic medicine and a cup of warm water in his hand.
He sat down next to Pei Song and gently stroked his back: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"No need..." Pei Song said in a low voice, "I just feel a little dizzy. Sorry, I didn't know you were in a meeting..."
Shi Yanchen looked at his annoyed expression and couldn't help but laugh: "It's okay, it will be made public sooner or later anyway."
He reached out and rubbed Pei Song's messy hair, and said in a doting tone: "Be good, take the medicine, I'll go heat up the porridge for you."
Pei Song leaned on Shi Yanchen's shoulder: "When I think about going to work tomorrow, I want to bang my head against the wall..."
"What are you afraid of?" Shi Yanchen lowered his head and kissed the top of his head. "I think those people just now were envious of me."
"No," Pei Song grabbed the corner of his clothes, his voice muffled, "They must be laughing at me."
"You didn't hear their tone just now," Shi Yanchen chuckled, "and their expressions."
"That's even worse..." Pei Song buried his face deeper.
"No one dares to laugh at you," Shi Yanchen said, "They just envy me for having such a lovely fiancé. Okay, take the medicine first, we have to continue the meeting later."
The next morning, Pei Song sat in Shi Yanchen's car, and became more and more nervous as he got closer to the company.
"Relax," Shi Yanchen glanced at him, "There were only a few people in the meeting yesterday, and it's not like the whole company knows about it."
Pei Song sighed: "You know what the company is. News spreads faster than light. I guess the whole building knows about it by now."
After parking the car, Shi Yanchen was about to get out, but Pei Song stopped him and said, "You go first, I'll get up later."
"What are you afraid of?" Shi Yanchen held his hand. "It's only a matter of time."
Pei Song couldn't help but sigh again: "I thought I could keep a low profile for a while."
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the office, Pei Song felt the strange looks from people around him.
He walked quickly into his office with a blank expression on his face, pretending not to notice his colleagues' half-hearted glances at him.
Jin Shuning knocked on his door: "Manager Pei, is the ten o'clock meeting still open?"
"Of course I have to open it," Pei Song pretended to be calm, "Why not?"
Jin Shuning smiled meaningfully: "I have sorted out the minutes of yesterday's meeting and will send them to you later."
Pei Song glared at him and said, "Secretary Jin, if you have nothing else to do, please leave first."
"Yes, Manager Pei." Jin Shuning withdrew with a smile, "But you still have to remember to knock on the door next time, in case the president is in a meeting..."
"Get out!" Pei Song shouted helplessly.
He was just racking his brain over how to face today's meeting when his cell phone vibrated.
It was a message from Shi Yanchen: "Let's have lunch together?"
Pei Song replied: "No, I'm afraid I'll run into something I shouldn't run into again."
Shi Yanchen: "Then I'll have someone send it to your office?"
Pei Song: "No need! From today on I will keep my distance from you."
Shi Yanchen: "Are you going to draw a line between you and me so soon?"
Pei Song hesitated for a moment: "At least we should pay attention to the impact in the company..."
