C16 Scared out of My Wits

"Yeah, and I also think his position it's in name only. With such a violent temper, I really don't know why Old Master Pei likes him so much. "

Ning Xia deeply felt that Ye Zi's words made a lot of sense. After speaking, she didn't forget to put a piece of fish into her mouth.

However, why did she suddenly feel that Ye Zi description was somewhat familiar?

Old Master Pei's grandson, handicapped, irritable, illegitimate son of Pei Family …

Somehow, this story and the label of the person in her head overlapped more and more …

"Miss Ning Xia, you seem to have a great opinion of me!"

There was a sense of pressure typical of a king, reducing the entire room to silence.

Ning Xia could not stop a shiver. She stood up and slowly turned around. Seeing Pei Yichen's cold face, she involuntarily swallowed. The fish in her mouth also slid down her throat.

"Cough cough …" "Cough, cough, cough …"

Ning Xia's breathing was obstructed, to the point that she almost couldn't breath at all. She covered her throat reflexively.

Damn it, she got stuck with some fishbone!

Pei Yichen's expression turned even more ugly. Did she really have to cause such a commotion for just a single question?

Shen Heng glanced at Pei Yichen somehow embarrassed. Since he didn't say anything, no one dared to make a move.

"Cough cough cough …"

Ning Xia chocked until her face turned red. Inwardly, she scolded Pei Yichen hundreds of times. This damned guy, wasn't she just stating some facts? Why are you scaring me like this?

Sure enough, one shouldn't speak ill of others behind their backs, there will be retribution in this life …

Ye Zi frowned. She really couldn't take it anymore. No matter how scary this man was, she had to save her!

Overcoming Pei Yichen's pressuring gaze, she turned around, picked up a bottle of vinegar from the table, and poured it into Ning Xia's mouth, "Hurry, drink some vinegar and soften the fishbone."

Tears welled up in Ning Xia's eyes. It was too hard to bear both the pain of having a fishbone stuck in and drinking vinegar in big gulps.

Pei Yichen sneered. Seeing her funny look, he wanted to laugh, felt helpless, and also, inexplicably, felt sorry for her.

He really wanted to ask her, was she a pig?

"Why aren't you sending her to the hospital, are you waiting for her to die?"

The cold voice made everyone release their collective breath. They immediately rushed to help Ning Xia and hailed a taxi to the nearest hospital.

The room quieted down. Pei Yichen closed his eyes helplessly. Pei Shijie, will you really send such a stupid woman?

"President Pei, what should we do now?"

"We go to the hospital!"

Pei Yichen's heart sank thinking of Ning Xia's red face.

In the hospital, the fishbone in Ning Xia's throat was taken out by the doctor and finally, she could breathe smoothly.

"Young lady, are you eating fishbones instead of the fish?"

The doctor looked at the seven or eight fishbones of all sizes and couldn't help teasing. This was the first time he had seen someone who had so many fishbones wedged in.

"Doctor, don't laugh at me, I just came back from the gates of hell. I don't want to eat fish for the rest of my life!"

Ning Xia was on the verge of tears. She felt that her end came so close, why couldn't she control her own mouth!

This was the price of gossiping!

Pei Yichen, who was at the door, heard Ning Xia's slightly hoarse yet animated voice. He waved to Shen Heng, indicating for them to leave.

Shen Heng's mouth twitched. He really wanted to say, "Boss, you want to sneak away."

He was obviously concerned about her, or else he wouldn't have come all the way here. But since Ning Xia was fine, he left without showing himself. Such a conflicted attitude, it was really different from the old Pei Yichen.

However, he didn't dare to say those words. He would do whatever the boss asked!

Ye Zi helped Ning Xia out of the consultation room, gloating. "Ning Xia, luckily you got stuck with the fishbone, otherwise, President Pei wouldn't let you go like this. You don't know, how ugly his face was at that time!"

Ning Xia glared at her helplessly. "You mean is a blessing in disguise?"

According to Pei Yichen's vengeful and narrow-minded personality, when she returns, he definitely won't let her off so easily!

This bad guy!

It was all his fault that she was stuck like this. Looking at those fishbones, even she felt sorry for herself.

"Forget it, forget it. I won't speak ill of him again. I'm afraid!"

Ning Xia thought to herself: I will only complain in my heart.

Ye Zi laughed, "Do you think that being an assistant is the same as working in the sales department? Facing the boss, you always have to accurately guess his thoughts. If you guess wrong, you will suffer the consequences. Let's hope you still have some people on your side to help you recover.

Ning Xia pursed her lips. It wasn't certain whether or not it would come true in the future!

However, if she loses this job, considering her education level, she won't be able to find a good company with the same benefits as this one.

"How to make up for it?"

Thinking about her well-being in the future, she wisely chose to bow her head in front of those evil forces.

"This, I really don't know. Maybe give him a gift, however, this President Pei isn't like the head of a department. He doesn't lack anything, it should be something to express your sincere feelings..."

Ye Zi thought about it seriously, but still couldn't come up with anything.

However, an idea suddenly lit up Ning Xia's mind. Express her feelings, that should be easy!

"Let's hurry back. It's time to go to work. We'll talk about these things later!"

Ye Zi couldn't think of anything but the fact that the noon break only had two hours and was pretty much over, so she hurriedly dragged Ning Xia back to the company.

Just as she reached the elevator, Ning Xia ran into Pei Shijie. She wanted to turn around and take the stairs, but it was too late.

"Ning Xia!"

The soft voice stopped Ning Xia.

She sighed helplessly. Turning to face Pei Shijie, she put on a slight smile, "Hello, General Manager Pei."

"Have you eaten? Are you going back to work?"

He asked despite knowing the answer!

Ning Xia felt that this kind of small talk was really boring.

"Yes, I've eaten."

"Did you eat well?" Pei Shijie was murmuring, like a gentle lover.

Hearing this, Ning Xia felt disgusted. She was staring at the 65th floor, looking forward to getting there as soon as possible. "It was pretty good."

"If there's anything you don't understand at work, you can come find me anytime."

Pei Shijie was extremely cordial. He thought that, with his good looks and warm-hearted man appearance, Ning Xia would definitely be willing to be his mistress.

Ning Xia nodded with a smile. "Thank you for your concern, General Manager Pei."

Did he overdo it?

Ding Dong ~

Pei Shijie wanted to say something, but the elevator had already reached the 65th floor. Ning Xia let out a sigh of relief and walked out with a smile, "Manager President Pei, I'm here."
