Aileen put up a finger and said,””Alright, CEO Ji, then I’ll say it! You have to keep your word and don’t be calculative with us little girls!”
With that, Aileen told him everything. Ever since PEI GE, Liu Lina, and Si linna entered the Ji group at the same time, everyone was guessing that Ji Ziming was in for a love affair this time. They had even secretly held a vote for the three of them to guess who would win the heart of the Ji group’s heir.
Ji Ziming scoffed and shook his head before adding,””Since my curiosity has reached this point, I’ll ask one more question. Among the three of you, who do you think is the best match for me?”
“Ah?” Aileen clearly did not expect him to ask about the results of the vote. With a face full of surprise, she asked,””CEO Ji, do you really want to know?”
He nodded his head again.
Aileen slyly blinked her bright eyes and replied,””I don’t know if it’s to your liking. Although miss si linna is an elegant overseas returnee and sister Yina is the company’s senior intimate Secretary who was with you before, we all agree that only the pure and sweet Miss Pei Pei will be your favorite!”
Aileen waved her right hand excitedly and smiled at the man.
The man was clearly satisfied with the results of the vote as his lips curled into a smile.
Aileen’s quick-witted little eyes had long taken in this sight, and the uneasiness in her heart had long dissipated. Seeing that Ji Ziming was still reveling in the results of the voting, she tried to beat around the bush and asked,””Er … If there’s nothing else, can I …”
In fact, Aileen wanted to run out as soon as possible and share this hot gossip with her friends.
However, he seemed to be possessed. His eyes were squinted and his lips maintained a beautiful curve as he recalled what she had just said.
Aileen could only quietly leave the office. As she closed the door, she peeked at the man’s blissful expression through the crack in the door and thought,’what’s wrong with you?”This young CEO is already out of it. There’s still a meeting later; can you focus and hear what the old directors are saying?”
Sure enough, Ji Ziming was in a daze throughout the two-hour meeting and was mocked by the old directors for quite a while.
When he returned to his office, he saw si linna and PEI GE waiting for him on the sofa from a distance.
He was stunned at first, but Irene, who was following behind him, noticed something and quickly reminded him,””Oh, little CEO Ji, today’s meeting was a little long. Do you want to rest for a while before discussing the new product launch with sister Pei Pei and Si linna? I’ll let them go back first.”
Aileen looked suspiciously at the tired-looking man before her as she waited for his reply.
Ji Ziming raised an eyebrow. His eyes seemed to have caught sight of PEI GE, who was not far away, and could not let go of anything else.
He stared at the woman sitting quietly on the sofa and, without turning his head, said,””No need, I’ll go in and talk to them. You can go out and do your work first.”
Aileen pursed her lips into a smile. Of course, she knew what he was thinking, so she quickly turned around and left with the documents in her hands.
Ji Ziming pushed the door open and walked toward the sofa where si linna and PEI GE were sitting.
Si linna and PEI GE did not get up and, instead, remained in the same posture as they watched Ji Ziming straighten his lapels and then sit down on the sofa with an elegant and handsome posture. His good-looking eyes were still exuding an elegant and charming aura.
“CEO Ji, your meeting is really long. Pei Pei and I have been waiting for half an hour!” Si linna was the first to open her mouth and complain. As she spoke, she unwillingly threw a stack of documents on the glass table.
Ji Ziming was too embarrassed to admit that the meeting was delayed because he was thinking about the scandal between him and PEI GE, so he could only raise an eyebrow and mulled over it for a while.
Then he said,”Oh, because there are some details of the newly established jewelry company that need to be discussed with the old directors. Those old directors … Well, you know, they are more stubborn, so it took some time. How about we have afternoon tea together after the discussion? there is still some time before work!”
With that, he raised his hand to look at his watch and then at the two, waiting for a reply.
Si linna was very satisfied. She clapped her hands and replied with a Foxy smile,””Sure! Since CEO Ji is apologetic, we’ll definitely give him face!”
She looked at the first draft in her hands and raised her chin.””President Ji, si linna, since you’ve given me the position of chief designer for the new jewelry company, I should do my best. The first draft just came out, and I actually still have some ideas to make some changes to. How about you guys go for afternoon tea? I won’t go, and I don’t have the habit of drinking afternoon tea. ”
With that, she brushed her hair behind her ear and smiled at him. As she spoke, she also pushed the stack of documents in her hands onto the glass table.
This unintentional action happened to meet his deep eyes. Just as she was about to say something, she recalled that they had come to the office in the same car this morning and blushed. She quickly averted his gaze.
Si linna did not know what he meant, but she felt that it would be wonderful if she could have afternoon tea with him.
Hence, she smilingly said,”that’s good, then. CEO Ji, why don’t the two of us go and drink? come; quickly, take a look at our first draft!”
Ji Ziming was not in the mood to listen to si linna’s suggestion. Seeing that PEI GE was avoiding him again, he could only give up. A trace of disappointment flashed across his deep eyes.
Then, he picked up the first draft on the table and flipped through it one by one.
After flipping through it a few times, Ji Ziming kept his head down and remained silent. Si linna could not hold it in anymore and asked with a frown,””President Ji, your script is almost torn apart. What’s wrong? Was there not a single one that he was satisfied with? This was designed according to your requirements, and Pei Pei is the chief designer after all. You’ve personally appointed her before, so don’t you like her?”
Shrugging his shoulders, he hurriedly raised his head.””Oh, no, I just think … I think the works are all quite good, but I don’t know which batch to choose.”
Putting down the first draft, he suddenly raised his head and said,””Uh-huh … Actually, I had a long meeting today, so I’m looking at the first draft now. I don’t know why, but I’m suddenly very hungry. How about this, let’s take the first draft to the restaurant downstairs and have some food while we talk, what do you guys think?”
Si linna and PEI GE were shocked and looked at Ji Ziming in a daze.
