Pei Luoyi looked at the woman's heroic and beautiful face, and was stunned for a moment. Her attire … Is there a problem?

She looked down at her dress and didn't see anything wrong with it.

The working atmosphere of the painting was very free, unless it was on the sidelines or on display, everyone would change into a uniform. However, most of the time when they were in the company's headquarters, everyone was very casually dressed. Of course, no matter how unkempt they were, they wouldn't be slovenly.

However, Pei Luoyi also understood that as the largest corporation in the Cloud City, her current attire did not conform to the atmosphere here. Furthermore, she had not explained her identity and had been instructed about it.

In any case, after today, they might not have another chance to see each other again. Thinking of this, she pulled her lips towards the woman and replied in a good mood, "Okay, thank you for your guidance. I will pay more attention next time."

Hopefully, there wouldn't be a next time. She really wasn't used to being pressured by a boss like this. Moreover, compared to the others, the director who was constantly being teased about menopause looked pretty good …

The elevator lurched a little, and then the doors opened.

"Also, it's okay if you didn't know me when you first came in, but I think you should at least know some of the workplace etiquette that a new person should know, especially the attitude they should have towards their bosses. I'm the CFO of Gong family, Luo Xin, you can call me Director Luo, I hope you won't be as rude to me the next time you see me."

With that, the woman walked out of the elevator with her capable and confident posture.

She stood there until the elevator door was about to automatically close due to the lack of operation for a long time. She then walked out of the elevator in a daze.

She raised her head and stared blankly at the figure that had walked straight to the man's office door. Only after a long while did she regain her senses.

Luo Xin... She's Luo Xin?

While she was still in a daze, the woman knocked on the door of the man's office and went in.

Pei Luoyi pursed her lips, but did not follow him. She stood outside a long corridor with French windows and tightly wrapped her coat around herself. All the lanterns in the Cloud City were clearly visible to her.

After standing there for a while, she heard footsteps coming from behind her. She turned her head towards the source of the sound and saw Shen Cui walking towards her direction with two bags of food in his hands.

"Young madam?" Why are you standing here and not entering? "

When he went out to buy food, he already knew that she was coming to work overtime with his boss. Why didn't she go in when she came? She must have been standing there for a while.

Shen Cui looked at the tightly shut office door and was about to walk over when Pei Luoyi called out to him.

"Secretary Shen, wait a moment, someone is looking for him inside."

Although it was already time to get off work, was the woman looking for him for personal or business reasons? If it was a business matter, it would not be good if they disturbed him.

Shen Cui heard her voice and stopped. Looking at her warm and calm appearance, he nodded his head. "Alright, Young Madam, don't just stand there. There are seats over there for you to sit at, and we can wait there as well."

She nodded and followed him to the sofa in the lounge.

Shen Cui placed the lunch box on the table and looked at her slightly pale face, thinking that she was hungry. "Are you hungry? If the head of the Palace is still discussing about something, it might take a while. Why don't I take out your portion first, and have a bite to eat first? "

Pei Luoyi felt somewhat embarrassed by the way he addressed her. She raised her hand to rub her cheeks and laughed, "No need, I'll wait for him to eat …" Also, Secretary Shen, there's no need for you to be so formal with me. It's not the first time we meet, so it's fine if you're of the same generation as me.

She should be even younger than him. Although her status is different now that she's married to Gong Yan, she grew up in a slightly prosperous middle class family, so she's not used to such honorifics.

Shen Cui nodded his head, understanding her meaning, "Okay, I've been working for too long, I'm sorry."

"I'm fine." Pei Luoyi smiled.

The two of them chatted for a while longer before the door to the office was opened from the inside.

Luo Xin walked out from inside, her face still had traces of loss. Facing the two pairs of eyes looking at her, the traces of loss were quickly retracted.

Pei Luoyi and Shen Cui rose from their seats the moment she came out.

Shen Cui looked at the woman walking towards the two of them and felt his teeth ache. A polite smile appeared on his face, "Director Luo, are you still working so late?"

"Mm, I've come to find the head of the palace to settle some matters, what are you doing?"

Luo Xin's gaze naturally swept over the woman, as if completely ignoring her existence, and directly fell on Shen Cui who was beside her. She noticed that he was carrying two bags of boxes, so she asked.

Oh, this is the dinner that the empress had instructed me to buy, "Shen Cui answered honestly, as he had a faint ominous premonition springing up from the back of his spine." The empress often had to work late in the evening these two days, so she told me to buy dinner and not eat out, saving a lot of time.

Luo Xin nodded. She thought of something and asked, "How many times have you bought them?"

Shen Cui's heart thumped as the corner of his eyes inadvertently swept towards the woman with the indifferent expression. He couldn't help but cry in his heart. Indeed, what was there to be afraid of …

"Two people," he answered honestly. Then, he wanted to say something more. "Director Luo …"

Before he could finish, the woman took out a wallet from her purse and handed over a few red bills, "Give these to me, take these money to eat, I'll eat with the empress."

Pei Luoyi looked at the woman's elegant and dashing movements. Upon hearing her impactful tone, she slightly lowered her head, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

Shen Xiao looked at the several hundred-dollar bills in front of him, not daring to move.

In fact, he felt as if he were standing on a bridge between cliffs on both sides.

The two women in front of him and at his side were waiting for him to fall into the abyss of the cliff, and to execute the death sentence on his own cold and merciless boss.

He was in a dilemma right now. He almost ran away from the scene with the two bags in his hands … A sudden ring on his cell phone saved him.

Pei Luoyi listened to the familiar sound of the bell as she took out her mobile phone from her bag at a leisurely pace. She glanced at the name displayed and picked up the call with her fingertip.

"Not yet? Uncle Lin shouldn't be so slow driving. "
