After a few days at work, Li Peiyu's initial enthusiasm quickly faded like the tide. She felt utterly exhausted, as if every bone in her body was protesting the fatigue; she simply couldn't take it anymore.
She had interviewed several CEO candidates over the past few days, but none of them satisfied her. That day, she sat quietly in her office, her brows furrowed, deep in thought.
Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, a brilliant idea flashed through her mind. A bold idea took shape in her head.
She couldn't wait and quickly dialed Qi Juechen's number.
Qi Juechen's voice came quickly from the other end of the phone: "Little sister-in-law, what's up?"
Li Peiyu raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "Brother Qi, I heard that Qiao An has returned to China?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Juechen's heart tightened immediately, and he quickly said, "Sister-in-law, please be lenient and spare her. I will keep a close eye on her from now on and make sure she doesn't cause any more trouble."
Li Peiyu smiled gently, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for her. I just want to catch up with her. Send me her address."
Qi Juechen hesitated for a moment, then said, "She's with me."
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Peiyu's eyes, and she decisively said, "I'll go over tonight."
At the entrance to the Fifth Dimension, a black luxury sedan slowly came to a stop.
The car door opened, and Li Peiyu stepped out gracefully. Behind her followed closely four muscular bodyguards, each with a serious expression, vigilantly observing their surroundings.
Qi Juechen had been waiting at the gate for a long time. When he saw Li Peiyu's figure in the distance, he quickly walked forward to greet her.
His face was plastered with a fawning smile as he reached out to carefully support her, saying solicitously, "Sister-in-law, take it easy."
Li Peiyu nodded slightly.
Qi Juechen couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, what do you want with Qiao An?"
Li Peiyu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile. "I'm in a bad mood, so I came over to yell at her."
Upon hearing this, Qi Juechen's face immediately turned sorrowful, and he hurriedly said, "You can scold me all you want. Can you please let her go? She has just recovered from her illness and cannot be subjected to any further stress."
Li Peiyu, however, was unconcerned and said nonchalantly, "It's alright. Look, I brought four bodyguards. If Qiao An dares to go crazy, we'll execute her on the spot." He gestured as he spoke.
Qi Juechen's face contorted in pain as he inwardly groaned. All the way, Qi Juechen kept pleading with Li Peiyu, but Li Peiyu was determined to go find Qiao An.
The bodyguard pushed open the door to the manager's office.
The black marble floor gleamed, complementing the dark gray walls, while an exquisite crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, emitting a soft glow.
One side of the wall is a glass wine cabinet filled with various fine wines, the bottles shimmering with a captivating brilliance under the light.
A large, black solid wood desk occupied the center of the room, where Joanne sat in a black chair, listlessly sipping her wine.
Qiao An glanced up casually and saw Li Peiyu. Her eyes widened in surprise, and she instinctively stood up. "What are you doing here?"
Li Peiyu slightly raised her chin, looking Qiao An up and down. Qiao An's original long, straight black hair had been permed into big waves. She wore a loose light-colored T-shirt, paired with a short leather skirt, and black stockings tightly outlined her long legs, exuding charm.
Li Peiyu smiled sarcastically, "Look at you, dressed like a madam."
Joan wasn't about to back down; her eyes instantly sharpened. "You're dressed up like a rooster."
"What's wrong with a rooster? A rooster crows, it means it's hardworking," Li Peiyu replied unhurriedly.
Qiao An, her face tense, slowly sat down, her gaze fixed on Li Peiyu. "Why did you bring bodyguards? Are you afraid I'll beat you to death?"
“I’m afraid you’ll go crazy, after all, you have a mental illness.” Li Peiyu’s tone was calm, but with a hint of sharpness.
"I don't think you're in much better shape either; you're not far from mental illness," Qiao An retorted without any politeness.
Qi Juechen stood aside nervously watching the two bicker, afraid that they would start tearing each other apart at any moment.
However, Li Peiyu gracefully walked to the leather sofa next to her, sat down gently, and asked, "Have you been cured of your mental illness?"
Joan's face was gloomy, as if shrouded in a dark cloud. "None of your business."
"You used to be the president's secretary at the Lu Group, how glamorous you were! Now you're a manager at a small nightclub, what do you think?" Li Peiyu's words carried a hint of teasing.
"You're already Mrs. Lu, is it really worth it for you to go through all this trouble to humiliate me?" Qiao An's voice was filled with anger.
"interesting."
"You're crazy. I suggest you get checked out too." Qiao An glared at Li Peiyu.
"Hey, Sister Qiao, do you want to go back to the glorious days of the past?" Li Peiyu's face revealed a mysterious smile.
"No," Joanne answered without hesitation.
"Do you want to continue being the president's secretary?" Li Peiyu pressed.
Qiao An really wanted to spit it out, but said, "No."
"I have a CEO position here, would you like to do it?" A strange light flickered in Li Peiyu's eyes.
Joan gritted her teeth, "Like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken, you're up to no good. What mischief are you plotting now?"
“My Yuxing Entertainment is short of a president. I think you’re quite suitable,” Li Peiyu said calmly.
Are you out of your mind?
"Think it over. If you want to take this job, bring your medical examination report and mental illness cure report to my company no later than the day after tomorrow."
"Are you out of your mind because you're pregnant?" Joan's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.
