Bai Tao was about to get into bed when Sun Jing rushed in. She woke Bai Tao up with shining eyes and said, "Don't sleep, don't sleep. Get up and eat something! And essential oils, high-end skin care products, and comics!"
Bai Tao couldn't sleep at first, so she wasn't very hungry. But when she saw the various imported fruits in Sun Jing's living room, she was sure that she was indeed hungry.
Cherries, Sunshine Rose grapes, blueberries and strawberries, aren’t they your favorite fruits
Bai Tao is very picky about food. Even when it comes to imported fruits, she is still picky about the suppliers. As a result, the fruits in front of her now all come from the brands she has been purchasing from for a long time. It seems as if they were tailor-made for her.
If you are not in a good mood, then eat something sweet. This is indeed true. After she ate some fruit, she found several customized fragrances that she had written down in her memo for a long time. The most amazing thing is that this box is actually filled with out-of-print comics that she has always wanted to collect, as well as several latest serialized volumes of best-selling comics that she is also following!
"Where did this thing come from?"
Sun Jing stuffed cherries into her mouth and said, "Employee benefits! We are about to go public. Aren't I busy with all kinds of things and working hard for the company until my death? So my efforts have moved God!"
Trash Pei Shi, but he is pretty good to his employees...
Bai Tao bit a cherry resentfully, and then listened to Sun Jing continue to brag about his efforts in the IPO process.
"Anyway, I think I'm going to get a promotion." She concluded happily, looking at Bai Tao with burning eyes, "Do you know? Everything you see now was personally delivered to the gate of my community by President Pei! He also specifically mentioned me to Teacher Bai Tao! Teacher Bai Tao also sent several large boxes! Except for the fruits as employee welfare, everything else was personally sent to me by my idol!"
Who sent you
But Bai Tao didn't have time to pay attention to it at the moment. She put down the comic book in her hand and asked, "Did Pei Shi send it? When?"
"It was not long after you went upstairs." Sun Jing was still immersed in her dream of promotion. "You said, I can get President Pei to personally visit and reward me, and I can also alarm Teacher Bai Tao! I must be promoted! What do you think President Pei will promote me to? Chief Operating Officer? I think it's not bad? What do you think I should wear for my promotion speech? I have to buy a high-end suit quickly. The ones I had before are no longer suitable for me. When I get promoted, I have to change my house. How can I, a COO, live in such a place?"
Sun Jing couldn't help but feel happy, and her heart was beating fast with excitement.
So Pei Shi actually followed him? And he knew that he was in Sun Jing
She stuffed another cherry into her mouth.
You know what, although Pei Shi’s food was rubbish, the cherries he bought were good and quite sweet.
Although I have no love, I can still remember what fruits I like to eat, the essential oil fragrances I mentioned casually, and I know what comics I like to read.
Bai Tao was overwhelmed by the sudden change in her mood. She was a little excited for a few seconds, and then she became a little depressed.
Look at your own behavior. You fell for a piece of trash like Pei Shi, but you actually bewitched him!
But she also somewhat understood why she had agreed to marry Pei Shi. In terms of looks, bedding, and meticulousness, he was indeed impeccable.
Although he didn't cry or chase the car, at least he followed me all the way, so he did give me a little gift. Originally, Dabo could barely pass with 60 points, but considering that he didn't have any feelings for me, he deducted 100 points and finally got negative points.
The white peaches became softer, and the cherries in my mouth didn't feel sweet anymore.
On the other hand, Sun Jing has already planned to become a COO and marry a tall, rich and handsome man to reach the peak of her life.
Bai Tao saw how passionate she was and didn't want to disturb her dream. But Sun Jing didn't forget her fellow villagers even after she became rich. She thought of Bai Tao in her dream. She patted Bai Tao's shoulder with great enthusiasm and said, "Fiona, don't be sad! A thousand trees will bloom after a sick tree!"
Bai Tao was eating cherries when she was photographed by someone. She almost choked to death on the cherry pit.
Sun Jing looked at her expression and became excited: "Don't show the emotion of 'I'm dying' all the time, what are you afraid of? You look so good, it won't be difficult to find another one after you get divorced! What about younger boys, widowed CEOs, older single otakus, you should do whatever you want! Aren't there any men with two legs?"
“…” I’d like to thank you on behalf of Pei Shi.
Sun Jing was very enthusiastic when she talked about it: "You can't stay at home like this. You cried when you just came back, and laughed when you ate cherries. Your mood fluctuates greatly and you are easily unstable. You still need to socialize more, divert your attention, and stop focusing too much on your failed marriage, so that you can get out of it. Tomorrow Saturday, the Rongshi eating, drinking and playing group I am in is having its anniversary party. We are all young people, so let's get together and chat. You can also go with us, so that you can relax."
The original intention of forming this Rong City eating, drinking and having fun group was actually to have some kind of singles social nature. Sun Jing had originally saved up to join it with the intention of finding a partner, but she didn't find a partner. Instead, she met some good friends in the group who she could talk to, and they would get together regularly when they were free, which filled many of her empty weekends.
Bai Tao originally just wanted to sleep and read comics at home, but unfortunately she couldn't resist Sun Jing's enthusiasm. Besides, since Sun Jing was not at home, Bai Tao couldn't cook and could only order takeout. Meanwhile...
"There are lots of delicious food there, and the baking experts in our group will bring homemade desserts..."
Bai Tao has completely rebelled, so let’s go!
*****
Sun Jing has been very proud of herself recently. First, President Pei personally gave her employee benefits, and she also received the care and love from her idol, Teacher Bai Tao. If these things are not enough to prove the problem, then President Pei's care will definitely prove something.
She, Sun Jing, works diligently and is finally about to debut as the center!
Almost early on Saturday morning, President Pei called and first asked a few questions about the listing materials. Then he changed the subject and said that the listing was going smoothly and that Sun Jing had made a great contribution. He wanted to send Sun Jing a few boxes of seafood.
"Also, Bai Tao has a very good impression of you. A few days ago, the publisher gave her some event tickets, including the comic exhibition this afternoon, and some vouchers for restaurants and cinemas. She doesn't need so much, so she wants to give them to you." Mr. Pei paused on the phone, "and your friends."
Then he coughed and continued naturally: "After all, it's the weekend. You have worked hard in the preparations for the listing. It's time to relax with your friends."
Sun Jing was very excited, but still declined Mr. Pei's offer. As a subordinate, you have to accept the offer when the boss gives it to you, but you can't just accept everything. Otherwise, if it happens too many times, the boss will think you are greedy.
She immediately said frankly: "Boss Pei, thank you for getting me, but my friends and I have a full schedule for activities this weekend. Can you distribute these event tickets and restaurant and cinema vouchers to other employees? I think Special Assistant Yuan is also very hard to go public!"
After Sun Jing finished speaking, she felt very happy. Her idea was really good! First, she thanked her boss, then she praised the other colleagues, and also demonstrated her noble quality of not being jealous of others' talents and being able to unite and be friendly with colleagues!
"You have any activities this afternoon?" Mr. Pei's voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little surprised, and then Sun Jing heard his natural question, "Then what is the special activity that made you give up the comic exhibition?"
He paused and added, "Bai Tao doesn't have much to do right now. If it's a good activity, I'll consider taking her to participate."
I see!
Sun Jing immediately became enthusiastic: "Boss Pei, this is an activity of the Rong City Food and Fun Group. I will bring my friends with me. If you decide to come, feel free to contact me! There are many young people in this activity, and they are also adopting stray animals. Wasn't your dog stolen? We can talk about whether we want to adopt a new one!"
On the phone, Mr. Pei did not promise whether to go or not, but Sun Jing could not calm down for a long time after hanging up the phone. What if... What if Mr. Pei really brought Teacher Bai Tao to participate, wouldn't she be able to see the real Teacher Bai Tao who she always thought of? !
That girl never shows her face and hopes that everyone will pay more attention to her work than her private life. She is as gentle as a chrysanthemum, Teacher Bai Tao!
*****
Sun Jing was quite excited, but Pei Shi was no longer excited, especially when he simply searched for the Rong City eating, drinking and entertainment group and found out the original intention of the group.
Blind date!
It’s just a social and blind date group that is beautified as a place for eating, drinking and having fun!
Pei Shichen looked around again and found that the group was indeed a place where many young single men and women were flirting with each other.
In fact, there were a large number of non-social communication posts in the Rong City Food, Drink and Entertainment Group, but Pei Shi completely ignored them. He only saw a few sporadic social posts with unclear motives.
Bai Tao is really promising. She didn't participate in the online blind date app, but directly participated in the offline blind date.
She hasn't divorced yet, and he hasn't died yet, but he's already wishing for a seamless transition
Pei Shi pursed his lips tightly. He knew that he could not make her wish come true. He would never divorce her even if he died.
He didn't know what he had done wrong. Although it was a marriage by agreement, he had done what a normal couple should do. Bai Tao ran away from home. He was more worried than anyone else. He would rather give up the company and the listing than be impatient to find her first. After finding her, he communicated with her immediately and made it clear that he did not want a divorce. He even analyzed the pros and cons of the marriage from her perspective.
Pei Shi originally felt that he had a sure win. In all the negotiations he had conducted in the past, he only needed to do 70% of the preparation work that Bai Tao was doing now, and he would be invincible.
However, the feedback he got was completely different from what Pei Shi had expected - Bai Tao was not only unwilling to go home with him, she even showed great anger and displeasure.
Pei Shi was at a loss as to the result.
He didn't know what else he could do.
He showed the utmost sincerity to Bai Tao and expressed all the sincerity that should be expressed, but he still had a trump card hidden - he needed Bai Tao, and he did not want to get divorced, not for the sake of going public, but for himself.
But because it is a trump card, it cannot be taken out easily.
Business cooperation is easy, negotiation is easy. Once the other party shows their cards, they will become at the mercy of others.
Pei Shi's pride prevented him from handing the weapon to the other party and letting the other party judge him. His years of education also taught him to restrain his emotions and avoid revealing them too much. He had never learned nor had any experience to guide him on how to express these emotions.
His mind was also full of complications, but he was unable to convey these to Bai Tao.
So he chose negotiation, which he was good at.
Negotiations that break down tasks into smaller pieces give him more control.
But now the negotiations have failed.
Not only did she fail, Bai Tao refused to go home, she also wanted to go on an offline blind date.
The only thing Pei Shi should be thankful for is that he hasn't even said that he loves her, so even if he is rejected by Bai Tao, he won't seem so miserable and can still maintain his usual pride.
Pei Shi's face was still tense at this moment, but his heart was about to explode.
Sun Jing is usually quite smart, can't she use her brains to take care of Bai Tao? She even took her to a blind date!
Pei Shi loosened his collar, tried to stay calm, and called Sun Jing again: "Give me the time and place of your party."
A gentleman should give his wife freedom and space when she needs to calm down.
After knowing that Bai Tao was relatively safe staying at Sun Jing's place, Pei Shi originally wanted to be a gentleman, not to be aggressive, to give Bai Tao enough respect and to stay calm at all times, but unfortunately reality forced him to be unable to be a gentleman.
No matter how gentlemanly you are, your wife might have to remarry.
*****
Bai Tao and Sun Jing arrived at the gathering place together. For some reason, Sun Jing seemed absent-minded after answering a phone call outside. She first came back to touch up her makeup and spoke in a pretentious and elegant manner. After that, she began to frequently look at her watch and the entrance to the venue, as if she was eagerly waiting to see someone, and completely forgot about Bai Tao.
Bai Tao curled her lips, thinking, "What a little girl... She's really that nervous. She's looking around waiting for her lover, and he even said he wanted to take her out for a walk."
In fact, as Sun Jing said, the participants were indeed quite interesting young people, and some of them were comic fans. The comics being discussed were the ones that Bai Tao was also following, so she immediately joined the topic and started chatting enthusiastically.
But by the time Bai Tao finished reading the entire comic book, Sun Jing was still waiting for someone.
Bai Tao couldn't help herself, she walked up and patted Sun Jing's head: "Are you waiting for your boyfriend or the man you like? Why are you so late?"
"I'm waiting for my idol! Not some man!"
Idol
Bai Tao frowned. Before she could ask, Sun Jing boasted proudly, "I'm waiting for my peerless teacher Bai Tao."
Is there something wrong? The peerless beauty is right in front of you
Sun Jing saw Bai Tao's surprised expression and thought she didn't believe it, so she emphasized it again: "Teacher Bai Tao will be here soon! It's true! I will see her in person soon!"
Is it possible that I have become so famous that some famous people have used my name to commit fraud
Just as Bai Tao was about to ask what happened again, she saw Sun Jing looking at the door and suddenly stood up. Bai Tao followed Sun Jing's gaze and saw Pei Shi, who looked exhausted, at the door.
"Boss Pei!" Sun Jing put on a welcoming gesture, and in front of Bai Tao's stunned eyes, she immediately went to Pei Shi and opened the door, smiling and looking behind him...
Pei Shihou is now followed by a fat middle-aged woman.
Sun Jing looked at the middle-aged woman, with surprise, confusion, regret, and then pain and enlightenment flashing across her face. Soon, as if she had convinced herself, she adjusted her expression, rushed over with an adoring look on her face, and held the middle-aged woman's hand.
"Ms. Bai Tao, you and Mr. Pei are such a perfect match! You are simply a match made in heaven! I am not only a fan of your comics, I am also a fan of your couple! You two are really! Good-looking and have great temperament, and you are so compatible in every way! You are simply..."
"… "
Bai Tao felt that she was no longer needed as a fan. Even if she had an idol filter, she couldn't be so blind, right
Sun Jing had obviously prepared a bunch of flattering words, but before she could finish, she saw "Teacher Bai Tao" look at her inexplicably, then turned around and shouted at the lady boss at the checkout counter: "Just got a call saying the water pipe is leaking? I'm here to fix it! I won't charge you, just pack me a rabbit leg and two handfuls of melon seeds!"
"… "
It turned out that the person who came was an aunt who came to fix the water pipe...
Sun Jing put down her hand awkwardly. When she looked up again, she found that Mr. Pei's face was indeed very dark, but he did not express his opinion, just staring at Fiona behind him.
Sun Jing stretched her head and looked behind Pei Shi again. After confirming that no one else had come, she was a little disappointed. She stammered, "Aren't you going to bring Teacher Bai Tao to play? How can I get you to come alone..."
"I came to you for business."
"ah?"
Sun Jing muttered in her heart, what kind of important matter was it that required President Pei to rush to her event site on the weekend to find her? Was it a last-minute order? Was he promoted to be the vice president or something like that on the eve of the IPO
Sun Jing looked at President Pei anxiously and expectantly, and then heard him calmly say -
"You go back to the company and work overtime first."
Pei Shi looked at Sun Jing calmly and said, "The listing is at the most critical moment. The employees of the technical department are also working overtime in the company. They need you very much now."
"Boss Pei, thank you for thinking so highly of me! But next time you ask me to work overtime, just call me on your phone! I'll be there whenever you call! No need to come and pick me up!"
Unfortunately, Pei Shi coldly broke Sun Jing's dream: "I'm not here to pick you up." His lips were flat, "I have other things to do."
"?"
Pei Shi looked behind Sun Jing and said, "I'll catch him."
"ah?"
"The one who stole my dog."
"Where is the person who stole your dog?" Sun Jing felt like there were many clues in her mind, like a puzzle that was almost complete. She was about to sort them out when she saw Pei Shi glance at her and said concisely, "You can leave now."
Sun Jing was very enthusiastic: "Do you want me to help you catch the dog thief? I will leave after you catch him!"
President Pei lowered his eyes: "Overtime pay will be calculated at three times the salary."
"You can catch the dog yourself, Mr. Pei! I'll leave right away!"
Are you kidding? Triple overtime pay means not even a minute can be wasted! How can I use it to catch a dog
