Chapter 395 The Greedy and Lustful Secretary 07
Yan Jiu followed Pei Ci into the banquet hall, which was luxurious and dazzling, yet filled with a strong commercial atmosphere.
The dazzling crystal chandeliers cast their light, reflecting on the wine glasses in people's hands, refracting colorful light and shadows.
Pei Ci looked calm as he took Yan Jiu through the crowd, greeting guests from all sides.
As the wine glasses clinked, Pei Ci took the glass handed to Yan Jiu without the slightest hesitation.
Jiang Yichen happened to witness this scene and couldn't help but show a little surprise. He raised an eyebrow and said to his friend next to him, "Why is Pei Ci drinking himself? Did he bring that female secretary who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk here just to show off?"
Wu Ming stroked his chin, his eyes fixed on the graceful Yan Jiu. "Tsk tsk, I think something's wrong. Who is Pei Ci? He's a straight man in the late stage of cancer. How could he be considerate to a beautiful young lady?"
"Let's go and say hello." Jiang Yichen walked towards Pei Ci with a wine glass in hand.
"Mr. Pei, thank you for visiting us. Come, let me offer you a toast."
Jiang Yichen and Pei Ci are both young masters from wealthy families who grew up in the same compound.
We have a pretty good relationship and get along quite casually in private.
Pei Ci pushed Jiang Yichen's glass back and said, "No need, just drink it yourself."
Jiang Yichen put the wine glass back with a smile: "You drank today, why didn't you let your female secretary drink?"
Pei Ci's expression was calm: "It's just a few glasses of wine. I can handle it."
Jiang Yichen's lips curled up into a playful smile. He looked past Pei Ci and glanced at Yan Jiu, who was eating at the buffet table. He teased, "Then why did you bring her here? Are you planning to let your beautiful female secretary accompany an important client?"
Pei Ci's face darkened slightly, and he immediately said in a cold voice: "Don't talk nonsense, she has an upset stomach today and just took stomach medicine, so she can't drink."
Pei Ci looked at Yan Jiu with concern as he spoke. She frowned slightly, pressed her hand lightly on her stomach, and only took a quick bite of her food.
Seeing her miserable look, Pei Ci felt a strange wave in his heart. Was he drunk too?
Jiang Yichen's eyes flashed with doubt, and he felt that Pei Ci in front of him was a little abnormal. He looked Pei Ci up and down, and asked in confusion: "When did you become so considerate of your secretary? This is unlike the you I know who only cares about work and interests."
Pei Ci frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Yichen's words, and said seriously: "What's wrong with the secretary? The secretary is also a human being. She is not feeling well. I can't force her to go out for drinks and social events."
"Do you know how many drinking parties she's attended with me this past year? She's been to almost every one of them, and her body is already overwhelmed by the strain.
Now that she's not feeling well, it would be inhumane of me if I didn't take care of her."
While Pei Ci was speaking, he subconsciously glanced in Yan Jiu's direction to make sure she was not disturbed by others.
Jiang Yichen was speechless for a moment after being blocked by Pei Ci's answer. He spread his hands and said helplessly: "I didn't say she is not a human being. I'm just curious why you took the initiative to block the wine for her."
"Even if she had an upset stomach and couldn't take the wine for you, Mr. Zhang clearly handed the wine to your female secretary. Logically, you could have asked her to have tea instead or politely declined. Why did you drink the wine instead?"
Pei Ci looked at Jiang Yichen, his eyes as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person who didn't understand what was going on. He emphasized his tone and said, "Didn't I already tell you? She has an upset stomach and can't drink. In this case, isn't it normal for me to block the wine for her?"
"I can't just watch her get worse because of a glass of wine. She puts so much into her work, so what's the point of doing this little thing for her?"
Jiang Yichen held the wine glass and slowly paced around Pei Ci, carefully examining him as he walked, muttering, "Something's wrong. There must be something wrong with you."
Pei Ci felt a little impatient with his stare and snorted coldly, "Boring."
Yan Jiu seemed to sense something and raised his head to meet Pei Ci's gaze.
Pei Ci nodded slightly, indicating that she could rest assured. Yan Jiu unconsciously smiled with gratitude.
Pei Ci looked at Yan Jiu's smile and nodded gently, his deep and bright eyes revealing a hint of tenderness and care.
Yan Jiu felt the concern, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, outlining a charming smile full of gratitude.
Pei Ci's gaze fell on Yan Jiu's smile that bloomed like a flower.
In an instant, his heart trembled gently as if it was brushed by a spring breeze; it was also as if he had suddenly drunk a large cup of sweet and delicious honey water, which was sweet from the tip of his tongue to the bottom of his heart, and he was completely immersed in a sweet and pleasant atmosphere.
Jiang Yichen's face, with a hint of playfulness and ridicule, suddenly appeared in front of Pei Ci.
He approached Pei Ci with a playful smile: "Brother Pei, are you smiling so seductively?"
Pei Ci's face turned red.
She didn't indulge him at all: "Jiang Yichen, are you itching for trouble?"
Seeing that Pei Ci was really about to lose his temper, Jiang Yichen didn't dare to tease him anymore and simply raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, I was wrong, I won't say anything more."
Yan Jiu's peripheral vision kept watching the situation on Jiang Yichen and Pei Ci's side. She was like a cheetah waiting for an opportunity, staring closely at her prey and not missing any slight movement.
Jiang Yichen is the eldest son of the Jiang family and has an extremely noble status. Coupled with his breathtakingly handsome face and innate noble temperament, he makes women all over the capital fall in love with him.
It is no exaggeration to say that there are countless women who like him.
And those women who tried to cling to the powerful and take advantage of the opportunity to get promoted were like a swarm of fish crossing the river, flocking to him one after another.
Yan Jiu was secretly calculating in his mind, just waiting for some ignorant little cannon fodder to come and give Jiang Yichen the glass of spiked wine.
As soon as she saw someone taking action, she would rush forward without hesitation to intervene, and then hand the glass of wine to Pei Ci.
Thinking of this, Yan Jiu couldn't help but smirk: "Hehe, don't blame me for this, Pei Ci, you brought this upon yourself. Yan Jiu has been working diligently for you like a slave for five years, so what's wrong with me taking a nap?"
Once the matter is settled, even if Pei Ci finds out, he won't dare to get angry with her.
It wasn't her fault, it was a special accident caused by other people.
Not only that, Pei Ci also had to humbly coax her not to be angry, saying that it was all his fault for being a beast, and he even had to beg her to stay in the company.
Hahahaha...
Just thinking about that scene, Yan Jiu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
