A dim light flashed briefly behind the lens.
He asked slowly, "Is that factory in Anzhou?"
Jiang Chengbo was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening.
"Yes! Yes, yes!"
"Anzhou is a nice place; it has mountains and rivers, and lots of good food."
"Take Shen Zhiyi with you."
"She is thoughtful, articulate, and efficient; she will definitely be of help."
"Once this matter is settled, you can travel around Anzhou for a few days before coming back."
"Don't worry about company matters for now."
"I'll give her a promotion and a raise when you all come back!"
Pei Ji's glasses reflected a cold glint as he said in a chilling voice, word by word, "If she gets a promotion and a raise, it will not be because of me, nor because of your charity or flattery."
"She will rely on her own abilities."
"So, Mr. Jiang, there's no need to secure a reservation for her so quickly."
"She will do it."
"But not the kind of success you're talking about, the kind that's registered under my name."
He hung up the phone.
They went back inside.
Looking down at the sleeping Shen Zhiyi, his gaze, hidden behind the cold lenses of his glasses, was one of tender affection.
Like water.
He thought.
I never imagined this day would come so soon.
His baby.
How would you beg him?
Pei Ji's eyes curved slightly as he leaned down and pecked Shen Zhiyi's hand.

When Shen Zhiyi woke up the next day, she had just arrived at the company when she received a notice from above.
She was going on a business trip to Anzhou with Pei Ji.
"Am I the only one here?" she asked the secretary-general with some doubt.
Logically speaking, for such a major negotiation, at least two secretaries should be sent along.
Her colleagues were gossiping behind her.
The secretary-general coughed lightly. "President Pei doesn't like large groups of people."
"As long as you're with me, that's enough."
Shen Zhiyi nodded, "Okay, then I'll go ask what we need to prepare."
“No need to prepare.” Pei Ji pushed open the office door and calmly swept his gaze over everyone. “The situation is urgent, we have to leave now.”
"Bring your ID card; I've already booked my plane ticket."
"Huh?" Shen Zhiyi was a little confused.
"But I haven't even packed my luggage yet..."
Pei Ji raised his hand to look at his watch. "Whatever Chen Zhu needs, I'll buy it for you when I get there."
Let's go.
If it's any later, the well-prepared little rabbit won't be able to bite the bait he releases.
How can that be allowed?
Baby.

[Author's Note]:
Comments have been repeatedly deleted, so here's a unified explanation of Pei Ji's "illegitimate child" character design.
He was not an illegitimate child in the conventional sense, nor the son of a third party, but rather one of n children born with the tacit consent of the legal wife.
His father had many women and many children.
Everyone competed for the family fortune.
However, Pei Ji was a precious treasure. Coupled with the inherent hierarchy of contempt among the wealthy and his mother's aversion to him, he always believed that he was a sinful being, as his mother said, a "filthy" person who should not have been born.
I chose the illegitimate child setting to make his dark thoughts and his self-loathing more believable.
This also makes Yi Bao feel more redeemed.
People don't need to care too much about this setting, nor do they need to judge him by universal values, because his family is just very eccentric, and he has already achieved the status that everyone in his family recognizes through his own efforts.
This is certainly not a "stain" on his character.
I hope everyone can focus on sweet romance and stop worrying about this.
grateful.
