Chapter 2856  : Scandal

“I’m not even afraid, so what are you afraid of? besides, I’m the chairman. Do I need any ceremony or reason to pick up a subordinate? Get in the car!” The man did not allow her to hesitate.

PEI GE looked at the intersection, wondering why Cheng Ningyuan was still not back. If she were to tell him that she still had to go to the main road to hail a cab, he would definitely be unhappy.

“Get in the car, it’s already forty-five minutes. If you don’t leave now, you’ll really be late. If you can’t set an example as the chief designer, how are you going to establish your authority among your subordinates in the future? Also, I have a meeting at 9:30 am and I have to go to the company to prepare. Do you want us to delay things together?” His every word was overbearing.

PEI GE was so anxious that her hands were sweating. She looked at her phone and then at Ji Ziming’s undeniably handsome face with a frown. Gritting her teeth and stomping her feet, she made her way to the front passenger seat.

The villa that Shen Feng had his men find was not too far away from the Ji group, so it would be more convenient for PEI GE to go to work in the future.

Sure enough, if the car drove fast, they would arrive in ten to twenty minutes.

There was no doubt about Ji Ziming’s driving skills. At fifty-seven points, the domineering Land Rover steadily stopped at the entrance of the Ji group’s building.

She unfastened her seat belt and pretended not to look at him.””Thank you, CEO Ji. It’s almost time; I’ll head upstairs first!” In just a few seconds, she had alighted from the car, slammed the door shut, and dashed toward the elevator.

Ji Ziming wanted to say something, but when he saw her disappearing into the crowd, he could only smile. As he shook his head, a doting smile appeared on his face, and his cold eyes suddenly became as warm as a spring breeze.

He started the car and drove to the underground parking lot.

Liu Lina, who had just arrived at the office, happened to witness this scene. She looked at PEI GE’s figure in the crowd and then at the deep smile on Ji Ziming’s face, and her lips could not help but curl up.

“Ji Ziming is still a man of action after all. You’ve hooked up with him so quickly. Shen Feng, I’ll let you experience for yourself what it feels like to lose the person you love when you return!” Liu Lina mumbled to herself.

In the office on the top floor, Ji Ziming unbuttoned the only button on his suit jacket and strode toward his office in an overbearing manner.

“Good Morning, CEO Ji!” From a distance, his Secretary, Aileen, stood up and nodded to greet him.

“Morning!” When he saw Ailin standing up to welcome him, he gave her a one-word reply. With that, he opened the door to his office with a cold face.

Irene, of course, did not react in time. She widened her eyes, pointed at herself, and asked,””Eh? Was Xiao Ji always responding to my greetings? No way … This is really unprecedented!”

She couldn’t believe it and peeked into the office again. She clenched her fists and squinted her eyes as she exclaimed,””It really is him! She really didn’t know what had happened after last night’s party. He seemed to be in a good mood today! Could it be that he met miss Pei Pei alone after that?”

Gossiping thoughts kept popping up in her mind. Just as she was planning to gossip with the other ladies in the company, Ji Ziming suddenly shouted at the door,””Aileen, could you please show me the materials for the 9:30 meeting later?”

“Alright, President Ji!” When she heard the call, Irene quickly put down her phone, picked up the documents on the desk, and walked into the office.

“President Ji, this is the information you wanted.” She placed the documents neatly in front of him and was about to continue gossiping when he stopped her.””Eh …”

Aileen thought, what’s going on? Do you have any other instructions?”

However, she didn’t dare to ask directly. Instead, she smiled and nodded, asking sweetly,””Young CEO Ji, do you have any other instructions?”

Hesitating for a moment, he subconsciously propped his chin up with both hands and asked,””That … Aileen, do you know any rumors about me and Pei Pei in the company?”

Aileen’s heart seemed to skip a few beats when she heard his question. Seeing his soul-stirring eyes, which seemed to be shining with a dark light, her pupils widened in fear and her breathing quickened.

She couldn’t help but mumble in her heart,’oh no, could it be that he found out about the gossip I spread before? Why are you suddenly asking me this? Could it be that you want to catch the culprit and fire me? This … What should we do?”

He only looked at her silently, as if he was waiting for an answer.

Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Ji Ziming’s handsome brows furrowed.””What’s wrong? Was there really such a thing? Tell me!”

Actually, he was just wondering what others would think if he really pursued her again. For her, what kind of trouble would she face? he could either think of preventive measures or carry it out in secret. However, she did not expect so many rumors about the two to spread in the company in the short few days that she had been here.

After a pause, Irene raised her eyebrows and asked in a careful tone,””CEO Ji, actually … Actually, everyone doesn’t spread much in private. It’s just that when they’re free from work or under a lot of pressure, they’ll occasionally discuss it behind the scenes!” As she said this, she made a heart gesture and blinked at him.

She thought that the man would give up on finding out, but who knew that he would be even more interested?””Oh, what do you mean by” a little “? Is it about Pei Pei and me?”

Aileen could guess that even if she tried to clear her name, it would only make things worse. With Ji Ziming’s intelligence, it was impossible for him not to know, so she could only dejectedly lower her head.

Ji Ziming narrowed his eyes and leaned his firm chest further back.””Tell me about it. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you. I’m just curious. Usually, when the people under me have nothing to do, they would evaluate me behind my back. Everyone needs to improve, right?”

Aileen actually believed him, and her eyes widened in excitement.””CEO Ji, you really won’t take us seriously?”

He merely nodded his head slightly. The curiosity in his eyes had already turned into anticipation of a good show.
