109 I Want to Get Back What I Felt At That Time

“It’s fine. I just have to put in more effort.”

“Alright then.” He sent her a document. “Just explain these to her. Of course, you can add in some details.”

Lin Jiao nodded. “Thank you.”

She finished reading the instruction word for word. After her new colleague came to report the next day, Lin Jiao brought her to sit at the desk beside her.

The first impression that Meng Xi, the new employee, gave people was that she was a rich young lady who had grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth.

She put down her latest LV Bagatelle handbag and looked around. “Senior, what do I do next?”

“Read the documents first.” Lin Jiao took out the documents she read on her first day of working here and piled them in front of her.

“This many?”

“More is yet to come.”

Meng Xi asked with uncertainty, “Do I have to finish all of these today?”

“Before Monday.”

“And after that?”

“Make a proposal according to the project.” After Lin Jiao finished explaining the assessment process, she emphasized what she needed to pay attention to.

Just listening to it gave Meng Xi a headache.

She leaned on the table and opened the first company introduction document. Halfway through, she leaned over and asked her, “Have you seen Sheng Heng’s CEO?”

“What about him?”

“I heard he’s very good-looking.”

“That is true.” Lin Jiao continued to work undistracted with a calm expression.

Lin Jiao obviously had no intention of gossiping, so Meng Xi could only stop and focus on the boring documents.

After the morning passed, she followed Lin Jiao to the cafeteria. “Senior, do you usually eat at the company?”

“Very rarely. I only come here about once a week.”

“Is the food here not delicious?”

“No.” Lin Jiao picked up the plate and picked up her favorite dishes. “I came to spend time with my friend.”

Her face looked radiant when the sun shone on it, looking like a blooming rose.

Attracted by such an unreal beauty, Meng Xi couldn’t help but lean over to take a closer look at Lin Jiao’s face. “Have you ever been a beauty doctor?”

“No.”

“No hyaluronic acid either?”

“Yes.” Lin Jiao held the soup and found an empty seat by the window. “None of my friends have done it.”

Meng Xi found it hard to believe.

She could understand that some people were unwilling to admit that they had done some job on their faces, so she stopped asking. “What skincare products do you use?”

“Different brands for face cream and essence.”

“Such as?”

Lin Jiao sent her a screenshot of the purchase order.

She turned off the screen and ate two mouthfuls of rice. Then, she heard another vibration on her phone.

As soon as she picked it up, Lan Ying’s voice was heard. “Jiaojiao, are you free to come for dinner tonight?”

“What time?”

“Seven.” She paused for a moment. “Pick Jing up after work. I don’t have time.”

“Okay.” Lin Jiao spat out the bone residue and took two sips of soup. “Send me the address of the restaurant.”

“Jing knows the location. Get him to bring you there.”

“Can he find it?”

“I believe so.” Lan Ying had asked Xue Jing to memorize the location last night.

Thinking of something, she suddenly giggled. “Alright, I’ll see you tonight. Bye.”

Lin Jiao waited for her to hang up.

She picked up a piece of tender braised pork and narrowed her eyes in satisfaction as she chewed it slowly.

Seeing that she enjoyed the pork so much, Meng Xi was tempted and picked up a piece.

However, she spat it out in less than two seconds. “This braised pork is too greasy. How can you even swallow it?”

“Is it?”

“It’s especially greasy! I almost vomited.”

Lin Jiao felt it was alright.

“Then try something else.” She glanced at the plate in front of Meng Qian. “The pork ribs are not bad. Try it.”

“I think it has a weird smell.”

“How about tomato scrambled eggs?”

“The eggs smell like they’ve gone bad for weeks.” In the end, Meng Xi did not even touch the rice.

Lin Jiao, who was not affected by her, finished the lunch in a good mood.

She separated from Meng Xi at the entrance of the cafeteria and went upstairs to look for Pei Zhi.

When she appeared, the employees, who had been tortured by curiosity for a long time, all looked over.

One of the male colleagues went forward to express his concern. “Mrs. Pei, have you eaten?”

“I have.”

“Do you like the food in the cafeteria?”

“Very much.” Lin Jiao smiled and did not correct the way he addressed her.

She walked into the CEO’s office under countless surprised gazes and closed the door to block out their whispers.

Hearing the noise, Pei Zhi put down his coffee cup.

He reached out to hug the little girl in his arms and tapped the tip of her nose with his fingertip. “Are you tired from teaching the new colleague?”

“I’m not.” Lin Jiao moved her butt. “She still needs to read a bunch of documents.”

Her constant squirm made Pei Zhi very uncomfortable.

He held her waist tightly to keep her in place and said, “Jiaojiao, I can’t have dinner with you tonight.”

“Are you busy tonight?”

“My brother asked me to help him negotiate a deal.”

“Then you’re not allowed to drink.” Lin Jiao looked up and gently tugged at the tie.

“I promise you I won’t.” He didn’t dare disobey her.

Pei Zhi kissed her forehead gently. “I told Qu Shao to send you home.”

“No need.” Lin Jiao explained her plan for the night.

She rubbed his collar button. “I’ll call you after the dinner is over.”

“Okay.” Seeing that she had unbuttoned one of the buttons, Pei Zhi quickly held her hand. “Stop being naughty.”

The familiar tone reminded Lin Jiao of something.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, wanting to get back the feeling she had back then. “Carry me to the table.”

“Why?”

“Just do it.”

Pei Zhi had a bad feeling, but under that expectant gaze, he still chose to do as she said.

He moved his coffee cup away. “And?”

“Kiss me.” Lin Jiao leaned back and took the initiative to kiss him when he leaned over.

Before Pei Zhi could understand what was going on, the buttons on his shirt were pulled open again.

He stared at that beautiful face, his deep eyes looking like they were about to devour her alive.

“Jiaojiao.” He looked away to regain his rationality. “I didn’t lock the door.”

“Then go lock it.”

“Do I have to lock it?” He really couldn’t figure out what she was up to, and he was afraid that things would go out of hands.

“Are you trying to reject me again?”

“No, but it’s not really appropriate to do it here.”

Lin Jiao sat up straight.

She turned around and glanced at him, not asking him to lock the door again. “Then you have to kiss me like this next time.”

He did not dare to agree.

“Did you hear me?”

“I heard you,” Pei Zhi replied with resignation.

Without bothering to straighten his collar and tie, he carried her into the lounge. “Sleep first. I still have work to do.”

“No more afternoon kisses?”

Pei Zhi chuckled and left a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Lin Jiao, who had received a kiss, buried her head in the pillow and closed her eyes in satisfaction.

With disheveled clothes, Pei Zhi was sitting at his desk and drinking coffee in silence, his body unable to calm down just yet.
