“Also, didn’t you guys notice how she’s never ugly in any of those pictures? She is always so beautiful in them and is exactly as what some of those netizens call her: a noble and inviolable goddess!”
“What you said sounds about right! Her photos online are always exquisite they’re quite unbelievable! Moreover, all those praises for her and the CEO are sickeningly sweet!”
“Right! Those photos must’ve been photoshopped! Our manager doesn’t look like that at all! I get stunned every time I see those photos online.”
“I think so, too. The online version of her and the real-life her are totally unlike. It’s just like how a Cinderella puts on a pair of glass slippers and becomes a totally different person.”
“Actually, I really want to know how those netizens will react once they find out that their goddess doesn’t look like that at all!”
“Pfft! They’ll definitely have a breakdown!”
Hearing these two female employees’ talk in the corridor, Pei Ge did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“No, no. I’m really grateful to hear you say all that to me.”
She shook her head with a smile.
He then patted his brain and said with amusement, “Oh, I know. Manager must be laughing at my name.”
She blinked at him, not knowing how to respond to that.
“Many people have the same reaction as you do when they hear my name. My name is indeed quite comical.”
He grinned and continued nonchalantly.
“Actually, this name isn’t that bad,” she replied politely.
“Sigh… My name is actually pretty uncultured. My hometown is located in a small county and my parents are farmers who have never gone to school.
“I don’t care whether you laugh at me for this or not, but once my parents got me, their only son, after having five daughters, they gave me that name ‘Talent’.
“They only wanted me to live up to my name: be talented, capable, and successful in a big city.”
He suddenly brought up his family background, causing her to be at a loss on how to continue this conversation.
Although she could not understand some parents’ preference of boys over girls, she could see that he had an earnest and kind expression when he brought up his parents and sisters.
It was not his usual look of hypocrisy.
“Look at me; why did I bring that up? Anyway, I actually came here for something proper.”
He smiled. His ingratiating expression disappeared, and in its place was a serious look.
“Hm?” She blinked in confusion at his sudden change in demeanor.
“What’s the matter?”
“Manager, the director is plotting something against you.”
“Plotting against me? Hasn’t she been doing that all along?” She smirked coldly.
“No, this time is different. Those are just child’s play, but… this time, there’s someone helping her from behind. This person’s goal is very clear: to make you commit a big mistake at work…”
