C16 Scared out of My Wits

"Yeah, I think he's just going through the motions. He won't do anything. He has such a bad temper. I really don't know why Old Master Pei likes him so much."

Ning Xia deeply felt that Yezi's words were very reasonable. After she finished speaking, she did not forget to pick up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth.

But why did he suddenly feel that Leaf's description was somewhat familiar?

Old Master Pei's grandson, crippled in both legs, hot-tempered, the bastard son of the Pei Family...

Inexplicably, this kind of narration and the label of the person in her mind overlapped more and more...

"Miss Ning Xia seems to have a very bad opinion of me!"

The gloomy voice brought with it the pressure of a king, causing the room to instantly become silent.

Ning Xia shivered and stood up involuntarily. He slowly turned around and saw Pei Yichen's cold face. He could not help but swallow his saliva. The fish in his mouth also slid down his throat.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough..."

Ning Xia held her breath. She could not breathe and subconsciously covered her throat with her hands.

Damn it, it was stuck in the fishbone!

Pei Yichen's expression became even more unsightly. Was she going to cause such a huge commotion just because he wanted to denounce her?

Shen Heng looked at Pei Yichen awkwardly. He didn't say anything and no one dared to move.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Ning Xia's face turned red. She cursed Pei Yichen a few hundred times in her heart. Didn't this bastard just tell her the truth? Why are you scaring me like this?

Sure enough, he could not speak ill of others behind their backs. There would be a report for him in the present world...

Yezi frowned. She could not take it anymore. No matter how scary this man was, saving him was more important!

Staring at Pei Yichen's pressure, she turned around and picked up a bottle of vinegar on the table. She poured it into Ning Xia's mouth and said, "Quick, drink some vinegar. Soft the fish bones and smooth them down."

The corners of Ning Xia's eyes were filled with tears. It was too hard for her to bear the pain of the fishbone card. Drinking vinegar in large gulps was also hard for her.

Pei Yichen let out a cold laugh. Looking at her funny face, he wanted to laugh but felt helpless at the same time. For some reason, he felt a little heartache.

He really wanted to ask her if she was a pig.

"Aren't you going to send her to the hospital and wait for her to die?"

The cold voice made everyone heave a sigh of relief. They immediately helped Ning Xia out in a flurry. They stopped a taxi and rushed to the nearest hospital.

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

"President Pei, what should we do now?"

"Go to the hospital!"

Pei Yichen's heart sank when he thought of Ning Xia's blushing face.

In the hospital, the fish bones in Ning Xia's throat were removed by the doctor, and she was finally able to breathe smoothly.

"Little girl, you're not eating fish, you're eating fish bones, right?"

The doctor looked at the seven or eight fish bones of different sizes and could not help but tease. This was the first time he had seen someone who had so many fish bones stuck.

"Doctor, don't make fun of me, a person who has just escaped from the gates of hell. I don't want to eat fish for the rest of my life!"

Ning Xia wanted to cry but had no tears. She felt that her doomsday was coming again. How could she not control her mouth?

This was the price of talking nonsense!

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

The corner of Shen Heng's mouth twitched. He really wanted to say, "Boss, you're slipping away from me."

He was obviously concerned about her, or else he wouldn't have come all the way here. However, Ning Xia was fine now, and he left without even showing his face. Such a conflicted attitude was really unlike the previous Pei Yichen.

However, he did not dare to say that. He would do whatever his boss asked him to do!

Yezi helped Ning Xia out of the consultation room with a look of schadenfreude. "Ning Xia, luckily you got stuck in the fishbone. Otherwise, President Pei would not have let you go just like that. You don't know how bad his face looked at that time."

Ning Xia glared at her helplessly. "I got lucky because of this, didn't I?"

According to Pei Yichen's vengeful and narrow-minded personality, she would definitely not let him off so easily when she returned!

This bad guy!

It was all because of him that she was stuck like this. Seeing those fish bones made her heart ache for herself.

"Forget it, forget it. I will never speak ill of him again. I'm afraid!"

Ning Xia silently added in her heart, "I'm just complaining in my heart."

Yezi laughed, "You should be more careful. Do you think that being an assistant is the same as fighting for power in the business department? In front of the leader, you have to guess what the other party is thinking. If you guess wrong, there will be a lot of things in the future. Luckily, there are not many people on your side now, and there is still a way to salvage the situation!"

Ning Xia curled her lips. It was hard to say whether there would be a future!

However, if she lost this job, with her education, she would not be able to find a good company with the same benefits as this one.

"How do I make it up?"

Ning Xia thought about the quality of her life in the future and wisely chose to bow down to the evil forces.

"Well, I really don't know. Give me a gift. This President Pei doesn't seem like a department leader. He doesn't lack anything. He should do something that can express his feelings..."

Yezi seriously thought about it, but she still couldn't think of a good idea.

However, a thought flashed through Ning Xia's mind. To express his feelings, that was easy to say!

"Hurry up and go back. It's time to go to work. We'll talk about it in the future!"

Yezi could not figure it out. She remembered that the lunch break was only two hours, and the car was almost empty, so she quickly dragged Ning Xia back to the company.

As soon as Ning Xia reached the elevator, she ran into Pei Shijie. She stopped in her tracks, turned around, and tried to walk towards the stairs, but it was too late.

"Ning Xia!"

The gentle voice stopped Ning Xia.

Ning Xia sighed helplessly and smiled at Pei Shijie. "Hello, General Manager Pei."

"Have you eaten? Are you preparing to go to work?"

You know the answer!

Ning Xia found this awkward conversation rather boring.

"Yes, I have."

"Did you eat well?" Pei Shijie asked gently.

Ning Xia was disgusted by what she heard. She stared at the 65th floor, hoping to get there as soon as possible. "It's pretty good."

"If there's anything you don't understand about work, you can always find me."

Pei Shijie was very friendly. He thought that he was handsome, and he had a warm man's appearance. He was sure that Ning Xia would be willing to be his spy.

Ning Xia smiled and nodded. "Thank you for your concern, General Manager Pei."

Does he care a little too much?

Dingdong ~

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. "General Manager Pei, I'm here."
