As he appeared too murderous despite Sire Nine’s forbearance, Ji Ziming, who had been in the industry for many years, thought that such tricks were not worth racking the brains for.
Upon receiving the signal from him, Pei Ge nodded and politely waved goodbye to the elderly man. Once the two left the meeting room, she brought her secretary and assistant to the HR manager’s office.
“Please come here more often; I’m really looking forward to working with you.”
There was a somber look in the man’s eyes as his frosty aura was akin to a poisoned dagger that stabbed Sire Nine’s heart.
Doubt flashed across the elderly man’s gaze, but he still shook his hands with the chap before getting in his commonplace Mercedes Benz.
Standing at the entrance, Ji Ziming looked in the direction where Sire Nine had left while frowning. From the look of the car, he could tell that elderly man had been driving it for a long time.
“Sir, do you want to get someone to follow him?”
The quick-witted bodyguard, who was standing beside him, saw the doubt in his eyes and asked this.
He turned and looked at this bodyguard with a complicated look. “If you wish to, then follow him.”
“Yes, sir.”
The bodyguard was new and desperate to impress this boss, whom the whole capital feared, so he suggested following elderly man.
Upon receiving his approval, he proudly drove his average car to chase after Sire Nine’s Mercedes Benz.
However, the bodyguard had miscalculated. If Ji Ziming wanted to get someone to follow the elderly man, he would not get a new bodyguard to do it. Perhaps even before Sire Nine left his sight, his people would already have their eyes on him. However, the bodyguard had no idea that Ji Ziming was not looking at where Sire Nine was driving but was examining how much refurbishment the car had undergone.
When Ji Ziming entered the office, he went to the HR Manager’s office and asked, “Did you hire the bodyguard at the entrance?”
“Yes, we hired new staff last week, so I recruited a few new bodyguards.”
Pei Ge was getting some documents but replied when she heard him asking.
“Why didn’t you tell me that you’re looking for bodyguards? I have the best with me.”
His voice was aloof with a hint of heartache.
“What’s wrong with the bodyguard?”
She could sense that he was dissatisfied, so she asked that question.
“Although that chap is good-looking, he is too power-hungry and sinister. That kind of person isn’t suitable to be in your company.”
He pointed out the look of worship in the bodyguard’s eyes when he saw him. If she agreed to it, he could not wait to switch from her office to his office. That was because his company was much more reliable and secure than hers.
“Are you saying that the bodyguard is...”
She finally understood what had happened. It seemed that the bodyguard had sucked up in a wrong way and he was not someone who could do that.
“That’s right, just like what you’re thinking.”
Ji Ziming looked at her with his deep-set eyes as his lips curled. If Pei Ge continued to speak up for the bodyguard, he could not promise that he would not fire him in his capacity as the CEO.
“If that’s the case, then fire him.”
She knew too well what this man was thinking. She would agree to whatever he wished to do because, this time around, it was indeed the bodyguard’s mistake.
Ji Ziming stood in place from surprised. He continued to ask in a doting voice. “Since when are you so obedient? Have I been nice to you recently, or do you feel that you owe me anything?”
“What capabilities do I have to owe you anything? I only know that nobody can hide anything from you; even you can’t hide from yourself. I’m merely following your wishes.”
Pei Ge smiled as she shot the man a glance before dipping her head to look at the documents in her hands. “Ziming, do you have anything to say to me?”
“No, I’ve said all that I wanted to say. What else do you want to hear?”
He dragged a chair and sat opposite of her. He then looked at her endearingly. “Ge Ge, I want to discuss something with you. I’m planning to host a family gathering soon; do you want your uncle to join as well?”
“Family gathering?”
Pei Ge lifted her head while feeling baffled. She could no longer read another word on the file as her whole mind became filled with thoughts of the family gathering that he was planning to hold.
“That’s right. Do you want your uncle to come along? It’s a good chance for him to meet everyone in the Ji family, and we haven’t brought him to see anything in our family yet.”
Compared to Sire Nine, who was here to create trouble, her uncle was much more important.
“Let’s not. It’s not a good time to host a family gathering now, especially when the Jis and the Qus’ relationship is very tense. We still don’t know what Old Lady Qu would do to you. Let’s not create more issues for us; plus, it won’t bode well for our family and companies. It’s not the right time yet to reveal my identity as it will only give our foes a trump card.”
Pei Ge analyzed the pros and cons of holding a family gathering. Other than Qu Xiujie and her identity, there was still Zhang Manhua who was overseas. It was not the right time to reveal any of them.
“You’re right; I’ll listen to you. I merely want the ‘CEO’s wife’ status fully in your grasp and prevent others from continuing to think that Qu Jingwan is my fiancée. I don’t need a fiancée; I only have one woman, and that person is you.”
Pei Ge was shocked by Ji Ziming’s sudden confession. She merely wanted to settle everything well and did not expect his endearing confession.
“What are you saying?” She looked like a little woman. “What if you’re heard by others?”
“So what if I get heard? I don’t care. You are my woman in this life and in the next. You’re reserved to me, understand?”
