Chapter 1638: You guys are revolting!
“What’s wrong? Don’t I look obvious enough?”
Qu Xiujie tied his tie. There was doubt in his eyes as he looked at Murong Cheng and asked, “I’m so good-looking; can’t you see?”
“I can’t see how handsome you are, but I saw how brave you are,” countered Murong Cheng. Seeing how prim and proper his friend was acting, he could not help but laugh. There were praises in his eyes for his friend. “After all your preparation, you look indeed like you’re meeting him.”
“Then, do you believe that I can get Ji Ziming’s help now?”
Following his best friend’s exclamation, Qu Xiujie smiled and did feel pleased with himself. He did not forget that he was going to meet Ji Ziming today; more importantly, he wanted to meet Pei Ge, who had a striking resemblance to the woman in his memory.
However, to his disappointment, the woman did not allow her secretary to let him into the office and, instead, told him to leave subtly.
Standing at the lobby in her office on the first floor, his eyes darkened. Not only did the woman look like that one from his memory, even their temperament was the same.
Of course, he was unwilling to give up. He pestered the new intern and used all his flirting skills.
“Aiya, go and ask your general manager. Go ask her: I’m Qu Xiujie. She knows me.”
He knocked on the receptionist table and looked at the intern, who had no makeup on, which had a name tag saying ‘Jenny’. He began to cajole her. “Jenny, you must be very popular with your boss. You see, my surname is Qu, and your boss can’t possibly forget me. You probably didn’t say clearly when you informed her.”
Jenny did look pretty good, but if he were not pleading with her and did not get her response, he would have hit her desk loudly and fired her. However, he dared not do it now. He did not even dare to take the risk of raising his voice at her.
He finally understood what it meant by the saying: ‘If the tiger goes down to level land, it will be insulted by dogs.’
“Mr. Qu, I’ve really informed her for you, but our general manager said that she doesn’t have an appointment with you. She wants you to make an appointment with her before meeting her.”
Jenny was helpless, too. Compared to safeguarding her rice bowl, she was more afraid to meet difficult clients like Qu Xiujie. More importantly, she understood that Pei Ge did not want to meet this guy at all, yet the man standing right before her did not seem to understand or, rather, was unwilling to understand.
“Impossible. Call your general manager and let me answer.”
He was unwilling to admit that Pei Ge, who looked like a gentle woman, was so difficult to deal with.
However, the last thing that he was afraid of was to deal with this sort of people. Back then, if he could deal with the well-known Brother Long in the capital’s underworld, Pei Ge would not be a problem.
“Apologies sir, but we can’t call the general manager for you. This is against our company’s protocol. I’m just an intern; are you able to let me off?”
There was a look of pain on Jenny’s face. She was fearful of meeting a strict female manager like Pei Ge, but having to deal with Qu Xiujie, who was as terrifying as ten Pei Ges, was even more terrifying. No matter how much she persuaded him, he was unwilling to leave. It seemed that he was prepared to camp out here.
“Where do you want me to go? If I don’t see her, I won’t go anywhere. Don’t tell me that you want me to follow you home?”
He sounded like a ruffian as he looked at her with ill-intentions in his eyes. Jenny was so frightened that she made a call to the security. Five security personnel came running over, and when they saw him acting like a gangster before the front desk, they hauled him out.
They only let him down once he was far from Pei Ge’s office. Without saying anything, they coldly turned around and headed back to the company for work.
“Aye... You guys are revolting!”
Even though Qu Xiujie was carried out, he did not forget to criticize the security personnel. He did not even manage to see the woman today yet was kicked out unceremoniously.
Since when had he been so aggrieved? Be it before or after his mother’s departure, his persistence in doing his ways only became worse. Nobody, except for Ji Ziming, had ever dared to show off their power in front of him.
That was because he had not challenged that man yet.
“I say you can’t continue, right? You even showed off to me that you’re able to meet CEO Ji’s wife. Go and find out what kind of person Pei Ge is. Do you think you can meet her as and when you like?”
Sitting in the black Toyota, Murong Cheng honked the car as he mocked his friend, who was standing embarrassedly not far away. His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it was clearly heard by the few girls passing by.
Qu Xiujie blinked his eyes as his lips curled. His voice changed from loud to soft as he arrived right beside the other man’s car and asked, “How is she like?”
The other stared at him in disbelief, then looked awkward. “No way, bro; you really have no idea?”
“What am I supposed to know? Tell me quickly.”
He looked anxious.
“I heard that she’s someone hired from Washington by this company’s boss. Think of who Ji Ziming is; do you think the woman he likes will be ordinary? I heard that she’s one of the best in the real-estate industry, and as long as she is around, she can handle all kinds of companies and have them listed. Actually, as long as the price is reasonable, everyone is willing to send their companies to her. Plus, there is a rumor now that the boss of this company is her, and the boss that others have been talking about is only the boss in name. The real boss has been her or Ji Ziming all along.”
“Are all those facts or merely lies?”
Qu Xiujie could not believe it. It shocked him that he did not know that she was that capable. He was even considering looking for Ji Ziming first to get his help if Pei Ge was truly unwilling to meet him.
