The next day, two days before the next auspicious day.
In the morning, when Bian Tong passed by the Pei family’s main gate, the facial recognition device did not recognize him.
To be precise, he did not recognize any faces.
Although he was wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, if one didn’t look carefully, one wouldn’t be able to tell. However, he couldn’t fool the Pei family’s professional equipment.
“Hmm?” The security guard looked at the display screen strangely and patted it. Then, he looked up at Bian Tong, who had already walked in.
Fortunately, Bian Tong had been coming over frequently recently and had been wearing a very recognizable windbreaker. This was their boss’ VIP and the security guards knew him.
Bian Tong was also very calm. When he realized that the device did not recognize him, he did not stop. As usual, he walked in calmly.
When the security guards saw this, they thought that it was just their equipment that had suddenly malfunctioned.
In the office, Pei Huai had just come down from the morning meeting and was currently dealing with a contract.
When Bian Tong entered, Pei Huai gestured to the seat opposite him. “Have a seat first. Wait for me for a few minutes.”
He didn’t raise his head and knew that the person who came was Bian Tong.
Bian Tong smiled. “There’s no rush. You go ahead.”
There was a cup of tea beside him. The teacup was hot, so it should have just been brewed.
Bian Tong opened it and took a look. His eyes lit up as he said, “oh, what a
beautiful little daisy.” Witness the birth of this content, streaming forth from n0v!lbin★
Small daisies floated on the surface of the tea. The flowers were equal in size. The quality was excellent. After soaking in the tea at the most suitable temperature, the petals were wet and extremely cute.
“Is this for me?” Bian Tong loved to drink tea. “I’ve been too happy recently. However, happiness is short-lived
He didn’t say it in a sad tone. A person who had lived for thousands of years would not take such a small matter to heart.
Pei Huai responded and flipped to the second last page of the contract. He signed his name in the blank space where he needed the signature of the first party.
Bian Tong happily picked up his teacup and took a sip. Only then did he notice that under the layer of small daisies, Pei Huai had added some other good things for him.
It was the smell of Chinese medicine.
She returned to her lounge after she had done all the favors.
When she reached the door, she heard a scolding voice from inside. The voice was not harsh, but it sounded familiar.
Pushing open the door, Pei Xi sat with her back facing her. She leaned against the back of the chair, rubbing her stomach with one hand and supporting her forehead with the other. She sat lazily, exuding the aura of a big boss.
Across from them, Ai Yan and Ai Meng were sitting there.
Not only did the two of them look the same, but their movements were also the same. They placed their palms on their knees at the same time, lowered their heads slightly, and shrugged their shoulders. They looked like students who were called into the teacher’s office for a hearing.
Pei Xi asked them to report on their recent work. If they did not answer to her satisfaction, she would reprimand them.
When her sister-in-law came yesterday, Pei Xi had specially asked her how the two assistants she had hired were. She said that she was satisfied. They were capable and smart. However. Pei Xi. who was very good at observing people.
could hear something else between the lines.
The two assistants seemed to treat Su Ji less well after the accident...
Therefore, Pei Xi came today mainly to talk about this matter.
She was almost done.
Ai Yan and Ai Meng also noticed the original owner.
Ai Meng quickly waved. “Ms. Pei Xi, Ms. Su Ji is back!”
Pei Xi sat up and turned around. At the same time, a charming smile bloomed on her face.
“Su Ji, sit down. I’m free today, so I came to see you.”
Aiyan got up and went to get a chair.
The original owner returned a polite smile and sat beside Pei Xi.
Pei Xi gave Ai Yan and Ai Meng a look, indicating that they could leave.
The two of them left and helped them close the door.
The original owner was very happy that Pei Xi could come to see her today. This meant that the action of delivering the medicine yesterday was effective.
Hence, she asked Pei Xi, “have you taken the medicine I gave you yesterday?” Pei Xi’s smile froze on her face for a second.
“Yes, yes.” She waved her hand. “Don’t worry, didn’t you say that I must take it three times a day? I ate it as soon as you left yesterday.”
“Alright then.” The original owner nodded in relief. Then, she took a paper cup from the side, filled it with water of suitable temperature, and placed it in front of Pei Xi.
“It’s time for the one before lunch...
