  Pei Ge felt better after talking to Yang Aoyun about her resignation. Although she was still slightly regretful over her decision to leave the company, she no longer continued thinking of the matter as she had already decided on it.

  Once she exited the director’s office, the way she comfortably sat on her desk caught the attention of many.

  “Pei Ge, why did Director Yang look for you?”


  “It should be something good. Judging from your expression, Director must have praised you again.”


  While her colleagues knew that she had gotten Yang Aoyun’s favor, her position as just a small assistant stopped them from feeling jealous of her.

  She merely smiled through their teasing and did not utter a reply.

  Back to her seat, she was about to start working on some files when Bi Zheng turned over to stare at her unblinkingly.

  Pei Ge was weirded out when his pair of black eyes continued to look at her intently.

  “Bi Zheng, why are you looking at me like that?” She blinked her eyes in confusion.

  This tablemate of hers was a little odd today. He was not the type to look at anyone for long, so why was he suddenly doing it today? Could he be sick?

  “Have you found yourself a new job?” He continued looking at Pei Ge stoically.

  “Huh?” She widened her eyes in shock, totally not understanding what Bi Zheng was getting at.

  “Have you found one?” he repeated with a straight face.

  “Ha ha, why? Do you have any nice recommendations?” She looked at the suddenly talkative man with amusement as she muttered inwardly,

  “Mhm.” He nodded his head.

  She was utterly shocked by this. She only jokingly asked the question and totally did not expect to get such a reply from him.

  “Er…… You don’t need to trouble yourself with that. I can go look for a job myself slowly.” She waved her hand at him, feeling slightly abashed. After all, she would sometimes call him eccentric inside……

  One could not really judge a book by its cover. Who knew that the robot-like Bi Zheng would be so helpful in times of need?

  “It’s not much trouble. I’m not really giving you an unfair advantage but merely recommending you. You landing that job will still be up to your performance at the interview.” Bi Zheng pushed his spectacles up his nose bridge as he gave this reply.

  Hearing this, she was slightly tempted. She really did not know of what to do for her next job, after all, as she had decided to resign on a whim.

  “Then…… Let me think about it.” Pei Ge blinked her eyes and haltingly said.

  “Alright.” Bi Zheng nodded his head and reverted to how he usually was.

  However, after that fiasco, she now thought that her seatmate’s expressionless face as exceptionally pleasing to the eye.

  “Thank you!” she thanked him sincerely.

  “Oh.” He merely continued looking at his computer screen and seemed not to care for her expression of gratitude.

  Still, for some reason, she thought that he appeared to be a little embarrassed.

  After settling her resignation affair and getting some ideas for her new job, she was in a relaxed mood and felt that time passed by quickly while she did her work zealously.

  “Pei Ge, it is lunchtime. Aren’t you leaving? Or are you planning to work overtime for free again?” Her colleagues jokingly said when lunchtime arrived and she seemed not to have any intentions of leaving.

  Raising her head from the computer screen, she smilingly replied, “I’ll be there in a jiffy.”


  “We’ll be off first, then! See you!”


  “Yes, see you!”


  In just a few minutes, Pei Ge was the only person left in the big office.

  She also did not stay for too long and moved to leave as soon as she finished her work and arranged her stuff.

  Pei Ge walked out of the office and to the elevator lobby. When she saw the descending elevator, she quickly pressed the down button.

  The elevator reached her office’s floor level.

  When the elevator doors parted open, she unexpectedly saw someone she did not want to see.

  “Hello, Ge Ge. What a coincidence,” Liu Yue greeted Pei Ge when she saw her standing at the elevator lobby.

  Pei Ge frowned and looked at the elegantly dressed Liu Yue with a straight face.

  “What’s wrong? Aren’t you coming in?” Liu Yue retracted her smile and looked tauntingly at her.

  Pei Ge felt a little better when Liu Yue stripped off her facade.

  “Why wouldn’t I?” Her lips curled up and she stepped inside the elevator just as its doors closed.

  Within the small space, the two each stood at a corner. The air in the silent elevator was exceptionally awkward.

  As the elevator descended, her thoughts slowly flew back to that scene from yesterday.

  Why were Liu Yue and her cousin having lunch together yesterday? What could they be talking about?

  The elevator quickly reached the first floor.

  Pei Ge took large strides out after casting aside the thoughts she had.

  “Pei Ge.” Once she was out of the company building, Liu Yue called out to her.

  Pei Ge frowned, not wanting to answer her call, but the way she was called really made the fine hair on her skin stand up in trepidation. Thus, she turned to look at Liu Yue.

  When she turned to look backward, she saw Liu Yue’s face morph into an odd and eerie smile.

  “Goodbye.”


  Liu Yue left after saying that.

  As she watched Liu Yue’s receding back, she felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness inside……

  – A certain CEO’s office –


  A tall and suave-looking man stood before the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. His slender, long legs and his golden-ratio stature were enough to make one drool in admiration even from just his back view.

  “CEO Ji, your……” However, the intimidating aura the man was emitting deterred anyone from entertaining such delusions. One could not help but act careful and courteous around him, not daring to even sneak a peek at him.

  “Get out.” Ji Ziming did not deign to glance backward and merely continued standing before the windows, as though there were an exceptionally pretty view out there.

  “Yes, yes, yes.” The little assistant did not dare to remain with his order and promptly exited the office.

  Only when this little assistant was out of the CEO’s office that he dared to wonder,

  “Heh.” Ji Ziming moved away from the floor-to-ceiling windows when that someone vanished from his sight.

  He himself did not know why he could easily spot her among the huge crowd with just a glance when everyone looked miniature from this height.

  Only then did he regain his senses and realize with a jolt that he had been watching that woman for so long…… long enough for him to forget about everything else.
