Pei Kexin left. Zhan Jingchen took the scissors and compared them with Pei Zongrui again.
The scissors were too cute, so he was unafraid.
Seeing his unrepentant stubbornness, Zhan Jingchen was suddenly filled with malice, tossed the scissors aside, gritted his teeth, grabbed his arm, and twisted it behind his back.
Pei Zongrui felt his arm was twisted to the point of being useless, and he cried out in pain.
"Ah! Jiang, you're tired of living! I warn you, Grandpa in the family spoils me the most. If you dare to hurt me, he won't let you off when we get back!"
"Let go of me! You damned live-in son-in-law!"
He could curse a string of dirty words, which meant he wasn't in enough pain.
Zhan Jingchen stood up and stepped on his back.
"I shouldn't have been soft on you and let you choose styles. Dealing with a beast like you, only my foot is fitting."
Pei Zongrui, under his foot, was in pain and furious, cursing even more fiercely.
"My back is breaking! Jiang Jingchen, you bastard, I'll f**k your grandpa..."
Zhan Jingchen ignored him, crushing him under his foot like an ant and tossing him around until he was satisfied. Seeing him on the verge of death, he finally stopped.
He squatted in front of him and spat on his face.
"I didn't chop you up today not because Uncle is afraid of your connections, but because I don't want to dirty my hands. You're not worthy."
"Get up and get out of here. From now on, stay away from her."
"If I find you bothering her again, I guarantee I'll cripple that thing of yours. Get lost!"
Pei Zongrui writhed on the ground like a caterpillar for a long time before slowly getting up.
Zhan Jingchen opened the door and watched him stumble out.
"I'll use the elevator, you take the stairs."
Pei Zongrui, with a bruised and battered face, clutching his arm and limping, dared not resist further and quietly left.
Pei Kexin went to the ground-floor restaurant. Instead of ordering, she took out her phone and sent a message to Gu Wei.
Because she was in a hurry, she didn't look closely and sent it directly to the group chat.
"Didn't you vow to protect me? Why didn't you come, and Jiang Jingchen did?"
Gu Wei asked instead of answering, "Wasn't he timely? Were you okay last night? That animal didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Pei Kexin: "You wish he had done something to me, right?"
Gu Wei: "God knows! When I heard what you said yesterday, my heart leaped into my throat! All I could think about was how to deal with him for you! My feelings for you are as clear as the heavens and as bright as the sun. How could I hope he would succeed?"
Pei Kexin: "You really are a man, spewing all sorts of nonsense, but where are your actions? Your heart was in your throat, but where were you?"
Gu Wei: "... I thought, dealing with that scoundrel alone was enough, why would two handsome guys be needed at the same time? I still have to make money for your company. Since your husband is idle, let him go first, and I'll conserve my strength! If your husband can't handle it, I'll definitely step in!"
Pei Kexin: "Pah, you dog!"
Fu Duoduo also chimed in, "So he didn't do anything to you, right? That thing worse than a dog, I wish he'll be unable to get it up for the rest of his life!"
Then she tagged Gu Wei, "Curse with me! Why are you so quiet after saying a couple of words?"
Gu Wei paused for a moment, then confessed, "It's inconvenient for me right now."
Pei Kexin: "??"
"There's someone with me."
"..."
All three knew who he was referring to.
Caught off guard by this development, Pei Kexin was both angry and amused, "So you're still not up yet?"
"Mhm. I stayed at her place last night."
Fu Duoduo: "Shocking! Kexin had a thrilling night, but you..."
Gu Wei: "I am guilty. I have wronged you all. When we get back, we'll treat you to a meal together."
Pei Kexin and Fu Duoduo said in unison: "Get lost!"
After chatting in the group for a while, before she could even eat breakfast, Jiang Jingchen sat opposite her.
He wore a black shirt, with the sleeves rolled up, paired with black sweatpants and white sneakers, looking very trendy and dashing.
Pei Kexin glanced at him, secretly marveled at how handsome he was, but spoke coldly.
"You didn't ask for leave before coming."
Zhan Jingchen also looked at her, her skin had a good base, she looked quite young without makeup.
"I called you, but your phone was off."
"I was afraid of his harassment... What about Dad if he left?"
"I asked him for leave, and he told me to come."
"Dad told you to come?"
"I told him you were tired and sick and had no one to take care of you."
She was quite good at making excuses.
Regardless, she was grateful he came this time.
Pei Kexin felt a sense of gratitude towards him, but she wouldn't voice it.
"Gu Wei actually considers you one of his own, telling you everything."
Zhan Jingchen smiled meaningfully.
"I am one of his own... Have you finished eating? Isn't your work unfinished? I'll join you."
Pei Kexin had no appetite for breakfast and asked him if he wanted to eat something.
"I ate on the plane."
"Did you find it palatable?"
"I'm a delivery guy, am I that picky?"
Pei Kexin couldn't help but smile too.
She grabbed her bag and put her phone inside, "It's good that you can endure hardship. Many physically demanding jobs await you."
The chartered car driver was waiting outside the hotel at the agreed time.
The two of them walked over, and the driver, seeing Pei Kexin, expertly opened the door for her.
Pei Kexin brought Zhan Jingchen with her but didn't get in the car.
"You've picked me up and dropped me off for six days. You don't need to come anymore. The total fee is two thousand, right? I'll transfer it to you."
The driver looked confused, "Didn't we agree on ten days? I quoted you a price for ten days, why..."
Pei Kexin: "You casually disclosed my whereabouts to others, which severely damaged my trust in you. It's generous of me to pay you. How dare you ask me for a reason?"
The two of them took a taxi to work.
They were a little delayed in the morning and arrived later than usual. When they entered the warehouse, everyone was smiling and asking her.
"Miss Pei is late today. The few technicians also didn't come, and we thought it was a day off. Oh, is this a new technician? Does your Pei Corporation hire technicians based on looks? Why are they all so handsome?"
Pei Kexin didn't deny it and introduced them.
"Jiang Jingchen, he will be my assistant for the next few days. If you can't find me, you can look for him."
People are drawn to beauty, especially young handsome men.
After the greetings, they officially started working. Regardless of whether they were aunties or young ladies, they always wanted to get close to Zhan Jingchen.
Even if they just got close, they would find excuses to talk.
"Engineer Jiang, the copper parts inside this are slightly oxidized. I don't know if it affects the performance. Can you take a look for me?"
Zhan Jingchen didn't know much about these things, so he had to take the product to ask Pei Kexin for advice.
Pei Kexin explained it to him from a theoretical standpoint.
"The fundamental reason why products are electroplated, whether with zinc, silver, copper, or nickel, is to prevent oxidation and maintain aesthetics. Regardless of the plating, whether it's oxidized or not, it doesn't affect its performance. Do you understand?"
Seeing her generosity and willingness to explain everything, Zhan Jingchen seized the opportunity to ask further.
"Can you explain it to me in detail? Knowledge about electroplating. How did you determine what was plated on the outside of the product, and whether their plating met the requirements?"
