She actually felt she was jealous?
Zhan Jingchen's first reaction was denial.
"Jealous? How ridiculous, what is there to be jealous about with you?"
Hearing him say that, Pei Kexin was relieved.
"Good, it's good there's nothing. There's no way between us, everything before was a misunderstanding, it's all in the past. Now it's just an employer-employee relationship. I'm happiest if you can think of it that way."
What did that mean?
She was going to draw a clear line between them from now on, and would absolutely not let anything happen again?
Did she look down on him?!
Zhan Jingchen was furious, driving the car extremely fast, as if wanting to vent all his anger on the accelerator.
They soon arrived downstairs at Fu Duoduo's home. He had thought Pei Kexin would say something more to him.
Who would have thought this heartless woman would grab her bag and leave without looking back.
Left...
After all, this was Zhan Jingchen's first venture, and he lacked work experience. Acquiring Pei Corporation was no small matter. Zhan Beijue, being idle and bored recently, decided to personally handle the negotiations for him.
The conditions offered by Zhan Corporation were very generous. The Pei family, aware of their situation and knowing that with the patriarch gone, Pei Corporation would not have better development prospects, decided to take a sum of money and split it among themselves, which was a good way for everyone to go their separate ways.
Thus, the acquisition was finalized that very day.
Two days later, Zhan Jingchen assumed the position of Executive Vice President of Pei Corporation.
Zhan Beijue also transferred an experienced manager from Zhan Corporation to be his assistant. Pei Kexin was appointed as the Executive President, and they both took office together.
Upon hearing that Pei Corporation had been temporarily acquired, the employees of Pei Corporation were still quite excited.
After all, with the Zhan Corporation's name attached, they were now part of the Zhan Corporation, which was quite prestigious.
Moreover, they were to be managed by the youngest and most handsome young master of Zhan Corporation.
Although he was someone they could only admire from afar and not approach, it was still good to see such a leader every day.
For a time, the company atmosphere was high, and everyone was in good spirits.
The first thing to do upon entering the company was to organize a meeting of the senior management. Pei Kexin was busy all morning.
Zhan Jingchen understood nothing, so she had to consult with the manager on every matter.
The two of them were together all day, discussing everything from meeting content to one-on-one meetings with senior executives, to future work plans and arrangements, with endless things to talk about.
Zhan Jingchen stayed by her side, but Pei Kexin didn't say a word to him.
Seeing her sitting with the manager, as if they were kindred spirits, understanding each other, and talking volubly, the anger that hadn't dissipated from two days ago gradually resurfaced.
You good-for-nothing Pei Kexin, you can chat with any man but me, right?
He also deliberately interjected, but what he said was unprofessional, and the manager had to explain it to him.
Pei Kexin found him childish. Out of consideration for Zhan Beijue, she didn't bother arguing with him, just focused on doing her job and didn't respond to his provocations.
Until the end of the workday, Zhan Jingchen still hadn't exchanged a single word with her.
The manager left promptly at the end of his shift. Pei Kexin tidied up in the office for a while longer, planning to leave after the rush hour.
Unexpectedly, after finishing her work, she looked up and saw a troublesome presence still sitting there.
Zhan Jingchen hadn't left yet.
Pei Kexin's anger from the past two days hadn't subsided.
After all, they had been husband and wife, and he didn't trust her at all, accusing her of flirting with others and deliberately showing herself off.
What a classless man. She never wanted to deal with him again.
Pretending not to see him, she picked up her bag and was about to leave.
Zhan Jingchen felt a shadow move opposite him, and he looked up. After waiting so hard, was this woman just leaving like this?
Unable to bear it any longer, he stood up and quickly followed her, blocking her path.
Pei Kexin nearly bumped into his chest. She stopped and looked at him with an displeased expression.
"Do you need something?"
Zhan Jingchen gritted his teeth, "Can't you see me? Why haven't you spoken to me all day?"
Pei Kexin hadn't expected that the reason he lingered was just to ask her this question?
Why hadn't she spoken to him?
"Mr. Zhan, I've been very busy all day, haven't you seen? What do you want me to say?"
What kind of attitude was this?
Looking at her cold eyes, Zhan Jingchen really wanted to pinch her face hard.
"What do I want to hear? Are you going to say whatever I want to hear?"
Heh, hearing this, he was looking for trouble.
Pei Kexin took a step back, crossed her arms, and sneered at him.
"You're the boss, I'm just an employee. Of course, I have to say whatever you want to hear."
Damn woman, you're so good at making people angry!
Zhan Jingchen wasn't one to back down either.
"Fine then, let me ask you, what did you do in your free time these two days while I was busy with the acquisition? Did you go out with that Frenchman?"
"..."
"Foreigners are very promiscuous, especially the French, they know how to have fun. Someone like him, a wolf in sheep's clothing, who expresses affection to women at first sight, is definitely not a good person. If you're with him, aren't you afraid of getting infected?"
"..." Pei Kexin was truly exasperated.
So, after all this, he was just here to insult her a few words?
"Does it have anything to do with you? Whether I get infected or not is my business. You don't need to worry about me, aren't you tired?"
Zhan Jingchen snorted coldly, "Yes, it is tiring. To spend money to hire you to do a job, and then have to worry about getting infected myself."
"You! Zhan Jingchen, mind your language. Don't talk about what I haven't done. Even if I got infected, what's it to you? Even if not, just stay away from me. It just so happens that I don't want to see you either!"
She didn't go out with the Frenchman?
Zhan Jingchen finally felt a little better.
"That's not necessarily true. What if it can be transmitted through the air?"
He was deliberately being difficult!
Pei Kexin couldn't help but push him, "Move aside, you can't spew anything good out of your mouth."
Actually, she regretted it as soon as she said it.
After all, he was the boss now, and she still owed him two hundred million. If she called him a dog, this guy would definitely not let it go.
She braced herself for Zhan Jingchen's outburst, but surprisingly, he froze for two seconds and then started laughing sinisterly.
"I have a dog's mouth. And you still kissed a dog's mouth?"
"What?"
"Don't pretend with me. Don't you remember? You've kissed this dog's mouth more than once."
"..."
Pei Kexin looked at his young and handsome face, speechless for a few seconds.
"Truly shameless."
"What? Don't want to admit it? Or have you lost your memory? President Pei is so busy she forgets things easily, but I haven't forgotten. Do you want me to help you recall?"
As they were talking, several assistants walked by outside the office.
Even though it was through the glass, Pei Kexin was afraid he would say something outrageous again, so she hurried to cover his mouth.
"Are you crazy? What do you mean by 'help me recall'? Zhan Jingchen, did you actually record a video? You never deleted it that time?"
Seeing that she was scared and was proactively coming closer to him, Zhan Jingchen couldn't be happier.
He had finally found her weakness, and now he wasn't afraid of her ignoring him anymore.
"That's right, I didn't delete it, and I don't plan to. If you dare to disobey me, I'll bring it out anytime and anywhere to make you lose face."
"You!"
"What do you mean by 'you'? You dare to do it, but you don't dare to own up to it. If I had known you were such an irresponsible person, I wouldn't have given myself to you no matter what."
