Chapter 42
“The Planning Department is really unlucky this time!”
“Yeah, man. I heard that the new CEO lost his temper at the meeting.”
“Director Yang is really blind, treating a stone as a gem.”
“I know right? That whoever Liu Yue is so thick-skinned to actually have the courage to do that.”
As she walked along the corridor after lunchtime, Pei Ge overheard these whispers. Initially, she did not understand what these people were saying, but at the mention of Liu Yue’s name, Pei Ge immediately straightened up.
Did something happen to Liu Yue?
Pei Ge returned to the office as she pondered on this.
“Sister Li, I think Ge Ge is at a disadvantage in this situation. How about you talk to Director Yang?” Pan Xinlei asked cheerfully.
Li Qin of course knew what Pan Xinlei was getting at and shook her head in laughter.
“Ge Ge has such great abilities that it would be a waste for her to receive a mere assistant’s salary. Sister Li, you are the best leader in China. You will help Ge Ge, right?” Pan Xinlei urged Li Qin further with a smile.
Pei Ge was stunned at Pan Xinlei’s straightforwardness and obvious boot-licking. However, more than that, Pei Ge felt really grateful that Pan Xinlei was trying to help her out.
“Ha ha ha! I’ll handle this situation; you just do your job well.” Li Qin waved her away, and although she seemed to be fussing, the smile on her face told otherwise.
“Yes, Manager!” Pan Xinlei giggled.
Once Li Qin left, Pan Xinlei winked at Pei Ge and said, “It’s a done deal! You’ll just have to wait for the promotion and the raise! Remember to buy Sister Li a meal by then!”
Eh? What do you mean it’s a done deal?
Seeing Pei Ge’s confused look, Pan Xinlei rolled her eyes and explained the situation to her patiently.
Only after listening to her did Pei Ge learn that their manager, Li Qin, and Yang Aoyun were very good friends outside work.
If someone else told Yang Aoyun about the situation, she might not believe that person’s words, but if that someone was Li Qin, then Yang Aoyun’s response would definitely be different.
Although there was not a lot of work to do today, Pei Ge found herself mentally drained after all the office brouhaha.
As she lay on her bed after a shower, ready to sleep, Pei Ge suddenly recalled how Ji Ziming had mysteriously appeared by her side on that day and said those cryptic words.
“Could it be… that he already knew of this from the start and was reminding me of it?”
How could that be the case? No, I must be overthinking this! That annoying person would not be so thoughtful to that extent!
