"What are you doing?!"
When Ji Beichen saw the receptionist making things difficult for Chen Xuan and Qi Qi on the surveillance footage, his heart clenched.
He couldn't tell whether he felt sorry for that girl who always kept her head down, covered her face with her long hair, and didn't dare to lift her head when talking to him. She was timid to the core, yet kind enough to give her only umbrella to a litter of abandoned kittens on the roadside on rainy days, and apologize to the kittens while getting soaked, saying that she was unable to raise them and had no way to take them away.
She was my little cousin, whom I had only met twice, but who was so well-behaved and adorable that she made my heart melt.
The receptionist was startled by the angry shout and explained, her face pale, "I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, these two people didn't have an appointment and insisted on seeing you. And this little girl even cursed me, that's why I was so angry… I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, I won't do it again!"
Ji Beichen strode over, gave the receptionist a cold look, and instructed his assistant, "Have HR pay her triple her salary for this month. Issue a notice throughout the industry, and from now on, all companies related to the Ji family are prohibited from hiring this person."
"yes!"
The receptionist's legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground, desperately trying to grab Ji Beichen's trouser leg to beg for mercy, "Mr. Ji, please spare me this time! I'm doing this for the company, for you!"
The assistant reacted quickly, kicking her hand away so she wouldn't actually touch Ji Beichen's pants.
"Do you even know who you were about to hit? And you still dare to say it was for President Ji's own good?!"
Even her assistant was amused by her ignorance.
The receptionist paused for a moment, just about to ask a question.
Then they heard the little girl who looked like a porcelain doll, who had slapped her and almost been slapped back, give their boss a sweet smile and then call out in a clear voice, "Big Brother!"
Ji Beichen quickly took a few steps, bent down, and picked the little girl up in his arms, his eyes full of concern. "How are you? Were you scared? Are you hurt?"
If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would examine the young girl thoroughly, turning her over and over to confirm her identity.
Qiqi is now the apple of their family's eye. If Uncle Wu, Aunt Wu, and Grandpa and Grandma knew that she came to their place but almost got slapped by the receptionist at his company, he would probably have to kneel in the ancestral hall forever!
"I'm fine!" Qiqi obediently shook her head, glanced at the receptionist on the ground who was stunned and looked devastated and regretful, and then shyly fiddled with her fingers. "On the contrary, I slapped her, but I didn't cause any trouble for my older cousin, did I?"
"No trouble at all!" Ji Beichen took the little girl's hand, checked her palm, and seeing that it was red, asked worriedly, "Next time, let someone else do this. What if they hurt your hand?"
I can tell from his eyes, my older cousin is also a sister-obsessed guy!
"Okay, I got it!" But next time I encounter someone as annoying and foul-mouthed as her, I'll still give her a good slap.
No mercy!
Ji Beichen turned to leave with Qiqi in his arms, but his gaze fell on Shen Xuan beside him, and he paused slightly.
The latter felt a little embarrassed by his direct gaze, lowered her eyes, and softly called out, "President Ji."
"Okay." Ji Beichen carried Qiqi a few steps before adding, "Come in together."
Shen Xuan was stunned for a moment, then looked up in disbelief, her eyes filled with wild joy, and she quickly chased after him.
"Why did you suddenly decide to come find me?" In the elevator, Ji Beichen pinched the soft flesh on Qiqi's cheek.
Qiqi looked at Shenxuan and encouraged her to speak with her eyes.
My future sister-in-law likes my eldest cousin so much, we have to let him know.
Otherwise, if only the eldest sister-in-law makes all the sacrifices in the future, it will cause an imbalance in the relationship.
If my eldest cousin's wife gets tired and wants to give up, does that mean my eldest cousin will have to go through a whole "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" ordeal?!
Unfortunately, Shen Xuan felt extremely inferior in front of Ji Beichen.
Even after receiving Qiqi's encouraging look, she didn't dare to speak, or even look up at Ji Beichen.
He just kept his head down, staring at his toes.
Ji Beichen, on the other hand, would occasionally glance at Shen Xuan.
His eyes were deep and complex, and whenever some suppressed emotions were about to surface, he would show a struggling and confused expression.
From Qiqi's perspective, she could perfectly observe all his emotional changes.
It seems that even though my eldest cousin is under the influence of the love potion, he is still deeply attracted to his future sister-in-law!
That's great. As long as it's not just my sister-in-law who's falling for him, this mutual relationship will eventually have a happy ending.
All she needs to do is remove the worm and then quietly observe.
If she interferes too much, not only will Heaven warn her, but she will also get herself into trouble, and might even create obstacles for their relationship. It's not worth it.
"I came to play with my older cousin!" Qiqi sat on Ji Beichen's arm, her big eyes clear and bright. "What, doesn't my older cousin welcome me?"
"How could that be? I welcome you there!"
Ji Beichen carried Qiqi directly into his office. Shen Xuan stood at the door, hesitant, unsure whether to follow him in.
After all, the office is a relatively private space, and it involves a lot of confidential information. As an outsider, it's not very convenient for her to go in.
Before she could finish her thought, Ji Beichen turned to her and said, "Come in together."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan quickly looked up at him, her eyes filled with joy.
"Go buy some snacks and drinks that the kids like," Ji Beichen instructed his assistant.
The assistant nodded and was about to leave when he heard the little princess of the Ji family call out again, "Brother, could you please buy me some pretty little cakes? I want strawberry flavored ones!"
"Yes, miss."
The assistant bowed slightly, a hint of envy creeping into her gaze as she looked at Qiqi.
This person is truly lucky!
It is said that she was born an orphan. When Master Ji and his wife visited the orphanage, they took a liking to her at first sight, brought her back, and she became the darling of the entire Ji family.
He didn't know about anything else, but this was the first time he had ever seen his cold-faced CEO be so patient and attentive to a child.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. This child is good-looking and has a sweet tongue, making it hard not to love him!
The assistant shook his head, turned around, closed the office door, and left to buy snacks for the little princess.
As soon as he turned around, he was surrounded by a group of gossipy people from the secretariat.
"Assistant Yuan, who are those people? Mrs. Ji and Miss Ji?"
"I hadn't heard that President Ji got married!"
"Do you know something? Tell us!"
"Yes, yes, just in case we're not careful next time and offend the boss and the young lady, and end up getting fired like Linda at the front desk!"
Ji Beichen's assistant was quite exasperated by their wild imaginations, waving his hand and saying, "Alright, instead of gossiping here, you should focus on doing your work well."
"The first rule for survival in the workplace: Don't pry into your boss's private affairs!"
