"I don't want to hear it! Even if you have ninety-nine reasons, I don't want to know."
Bai Tao suddenly felt a little discouraged. Pei Shi was always like this, calm and restrained, always confident of victory. Even at this moment, he was still calm and steady, as if he was participating in a business negotiation. He could bring out a list of advantages of marriage, as if everything was just a business cooperation whose price could be negotiated. As long as you opened your mouth, he could afford the money.
But Bai Tao couldn't do it. Even though she knew that this marriage was just a plastic marriage by agreement and the press releases about their love were fake, she would be left alone without love. But Pei Shi negotiated with such a condescending attitude, trying to persuade Bai Tao to give up the divorce by analyzing the pros and cons. Bai Tao was still very sad.
In Pei Shi's world, probably everything can be calculated.
"Well, I don't want to talk to you about this. Don't worry. We will behave ourselves before the listing. We can talk about these things after the listing."
Bai Tao restrained her expression and stood up: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
This was probably the first time Pei Shi failed in a negotiation. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted. Then he quickly grabbed Bai Tao's hand and said, "Where are you going? Come home with me."
Without waiting for Bai Tao to speak, the man coughed again and continued, "You should go home with me while your marriage is still going on."
Bai Tao shook off Pei Shi's hand and said, "We can still live separately while the marriage is still going on! Just treat it as a separation!"
Although Pei Shi would never do something illegal like depriving someone of their freedom, Bai Tao stood up and walked out, and the man followed closely, asking, "Where do you live now?"
Bai Tao didn't want to pay attention to him and said briefly: "I'm staying at a friend's place. I don't want to see you and I need to calm down."
"I've asked Yu Guo, Meng Qi, and Ding Yue about it. I've even asked all my classmates in Rong City about it. You haven't contacted them, and the hotel doesn't have any information about you."
Pei Shi stood beside Bai Tao, his lips were flat, as if he was narrating a fact that everyone knew -
"Bai Tao, you don't have to be like this. Your lifestyle requires that you have someone to take care of you. You can't live alone, and you can't endure hardship..."
Intellectually speaking, Pei Shi was telling the truth. Bai Tao was indeed lazy and ignorant, but in her heart she could not accept Pei Shi's words which were as logically rigorous as an analysis report. She always felt that he was calm and objective, which was so annoying and sad.
His life always seemed perfect, like a precisely calculated formula.
Going public is part of his math.
Me too.
Perhaps in the past Bai Tao could accept such a life where everyone gets what they want at a fixed price, but she can’t now.
Because she foolishly believed those press releases, she acted out her feelings for Pei Shi because of her good self-image.
Now that he truly loves Pei Shi, his emotions are affected by Pei Shi's every move, but Pei Shi remains so calm.
This is not fair.
This is destined not to be an equal relationship, and it is impossible to form an equal marriage.
The basis for a marriage of convenience to work well is that there is no affection between the two parties.
Bai Tao broke the rules, so the marriage must be ended.
She liked Pei Shi, but she was determined not to be the humble one in the marriage.
Pei Shi seemed very surprised at Bai Tao's decision not to go home: "I understand your feelings, but no matter what, we are already married. If you have anything else you want, I can satisfy you."
The man stretched out his hand to Bai Tao and said, "Come on, Bai Tao, follow me home."
Unfortunately, Bai Tao felt that he didn't really understand her feelings.
Bai Tao was embarrassed when she found out about the misunderstanding, and her subconscious reaction was to escape. But even though she threatened to divorce, Bai Tao was still looking forward to another possibility in her heart.
Is it possible that Pei Shi also has feelings for her
The moment Pei Shi "captured" her with his solemnity, Bai Tao felt a thrill in her heart. However, when this man acted as if he were negotiating a business deal and used SWOT analysis to try to convince Bai Tao to give up her divorce and return to her family, Bai Tao was left with only a huge void and disappointment in her heart.
It was all a farce from beginning to end, it was all a joke she made. She shouldn't have prayed for something that didn't belong to her from Pei Shi.
After refusing to follow Pei Shi home, Bai Tao went downstairs and hailed a taxi. However, the emotions that she had maintained in front of Pei Shi suddenly collapsed as soon as she got on the taxi.
When they arrived at the community, by coincidence, Bai Tao ran into Sun Jing who was helping her walk the dog.
She looked at Bai Tao and said in shock: "Fiona? What happened to you? Your eyes are swollen from crying?"
Bai Tao felt very aggrieved. It was fine if Pei Shi didn't like her, didn't he say so? They were still husband and wife, but his wife was running away alone. Why didn't she learn from the TV series and run after the taxi? It was a waste of her asking the taxi driver to drive slower! Why didn't Pei Shi drive to block her along the way, or wait for her to get a taxi and then rush over to hug her and say that he couldn't live without her
Rubbish, Pei Shi is indeed rubbish.
Bai Tao wiped her tears randomly, didn't want to talk, immersed in sadness, and ran upstairs alone in silence.
Sun Jing was confused and a little sleepy. She was about to go upstairs with Fiona when her cell phone rang. When she saw the caller ID, Sun Jing was immediately awakened.
"Boss Pei? Is there something wrong with the filing of listing materials?"
Mr. Pei's voice on the other end of the phone was as calm and composed as ever: "Come out."
"Now? Going to the company to work overtime?"
"No, you are outside the community gate." Mr. Pei paused, "I have seen you, right in front of the green area of the community, so I will give you five minutes, which should be enough."
Sun Jing hung up the phone, feeling even more uneasy.
It's already this late, and what can make President Pei make such a fuss and even come to the gate of his community on his own initiative? Could there be some big problem with the archived materials handled by the administration department last time
She ran to the gate of the community with her dog, and sure enough, her boss's black Maybach was parked on the opposite street.
President Pei was already standing outside the car door, leaning against it smoking, with a gloomy face and a slight frown between his brows.
This was the first time Sun Jing saw Pei Shi smoking, and it was also the first time Sun Jing felt the confusion and irritation from his boss, which could not be completely concealed even if he tried to hide it.
Sun Jing's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the company will fail after going public
She is still waiting for the salary increase and bonus promised by President Pei after the listing...
But before she could even get excited, the dog was even more excited than she was. When it saw Mr. Pei, it was like seeing a family member. Sun Jing was speechless for a second. Now even dogs are so snobbish. Or is it that the dog's nose is really sensitive and can smell the fragrance of RMB emanating from Mr. Pei
"Pei... Mr. Pei?" Sun Jing pulled the dog back and asked cautiously, "Is there any problem with the listing?"
Pei Shi was stunned: "Going public? Why do you ask? There is no problem with going public."
oh…
Then why are you making such a face
Sun Jing secretly glanced at Pei Shi and felt that he looked a little dazed, as if he had passionately confessed his love for the first time and then was dumped.
Fortunately, Pei Shi's voice soon interrupted Sun Jing's thoughts -
"There's something, take it."
Oh, is there any urgent overtime task
Sun Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and then said flatteringly: "Just send the email, and we can deal with it tonight!"
As a result, she wanted to continue to show her loyalty, but her boss turned around and took out a large box from the trunk: "Here, take it and eat it."
President Pei pursed his lips and said, "These are cherries that have just been airlifted in, as well as Sunshine Rose grapes, blueberries, and strawberries."
"ah?"
Now it was Sun Jing's turn to be a little confused.
Fortunately, President Pei coughed quickly and gave an explanation: "You have worked hard in leading the administrative department to do logistical support work for the recent listing. This is an employee benefit."
Oh oh oh!
Sun Jing was so happy!
What good bosses do you follow? Look at your bad mouth just now, and you still can't succeed in going public? Pah!
Sun Jing was about to leave after moving the fruits, but the boss called her back again. He cleared his throat and said, "There's more, more."
As he spoke, he took out several large boxes from the trunk of the car.
Sun Jing was stunned.
Pei Shi briefly explained: "The box on the left contains skin care products, including essential oils customized from France. You can try the bergamot ones, which are more soothing. The box on the right contains the latest serialized volumes of several popular Japanese comics, and there is also a set of commemorative editions."
"All of these? Give them all to me?"
Sun Jing felt that Mr. Pei was acting strange, as if he was always saying something with a hidden agenda. Even with the delivery of several large boxes of stuff, Sun Jing was a little nervous. This was a case of not accepting gifts without doing anything. If she hadn't just been walking the dog and looked in the mirror to sober up, Sun Jing would have even suspected that Mr. Pei was trying to take advantage of her. It was really suspicious to deliver several large boxes of stuff in the middle of the night...
Fortunately, President Pei soon dispelled Sun Jing's doubts. He cleared his throat and said, "I heard that you are a die-hard fan of Bai Tao. I mentioned it to her. In order to express her gratitude for your support, she asked me to give these to you as well." He pursed his lips and said, "These things were originally given to her. So if she wants to give them to you, just respect her way of dealing with things."
I see!
Teacher Bai Tao is indeed an idol with both virtue and talent! If you are a fan of the right person, every day is a holiday!
Pei Shi's voice was a little unnatural, and his eyes looked away: "You have good interpersonal relationships, and you may often interact with other colleagues or live close to them. If I pass by your house, I will give these directly to you. If you see other colleagues, you should share them with them."
"Some colleagues are used to being particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation." He glanced at Sun Jing and said, "In short, you should take good care of your colleagues."
kindness
Although Sun Jing was a little confused, she still nodded vigorously. She was the best at uniting colleagues! Didn't she even have a former colleague, Fiona, staying at home
"Boss Pei, is there anything else?"
Pei Shi waved his hand to let Sun Jing leave. Sun Jing was about to ask the security guy to help move the boxes, when he heard his boss speak again behind him -
"One more thing."
President Pei pursed his lips and said, "Dog, let me pet you."
"?"
President Pei looked unhappy: "The dog was stolen." He glanced at the dog Sun Jing was holding and coughed, "It looks the same as yours."
Sun Jing suddenly felt sympathy. Mr. Pei was so pitiful. He looked like a dog lover. Stealing a dog from a dog lover's dog was so morally corrupt!
