Chapter 1522: Who are you buying this for?
In the elevator, Bai Jingjing arranged her clothes using her reflection in the elevator walls and made her V collar even lower. The moment she lowered her head or bent over, Ji Ziming would be able to see her lace bra.
Ding! The elevator doors opened.
She approached the CEO’s office and knocked on the door. Pei Ge was in the adjacent room of the office at this moment. The man, who was sitting on the sofa with his head lowered, told the person to come in.
When she opened, only the man was there, and she became more pleased with herself. She curled her purple lips slightly and sauntered to his side as she asked coquettishly, “Sir, you had me come over; is something the matter?”
“Of course, there’s a matter.”
If not, why would I get you here? It couldn’t be that I asked you here to play? The man kept his head down as he read Red Star’s sales data for the past two years. He noted a particular lady’s work performance and thought of headhunting her to work for the Ji Group’s headquarters. This could awaken her potential, allowing her to showcase her skills in real estate.
“Sir, you—”
Before she could complete her sentence, he interjected, “Go out and help me buy something. Don’t let anyone know about this.”
“Buy something?”
She was stupefied. Could this man have summoned her here only to buy something for him? Bai Jingjing got it after some thinking, though. Who was this man? Many people were clamoring to work for him but could neither find the chance nor enter his eyes. Therefore, let alone buying something for him, she would even agree to being his nanny.
“Sir, what do you want me to buy then?”
Bai Jingjing pursed her purple lips slightly and her apple cheeks became more obvious but not without the effect of online celebs.
“Sanitary pads. You’re a woman, too, so you should know which brand is useful. Buy some; the money on the table is your reward.” The man looked up at this woman, who was smiling at him. His eyes darkened as he coldly scanned Bai Jingjing from top to toe. Her heart skipped a beat. Is he finally looking at me; am I on my path to success? Does it mean I can break free from those filthy men in life?
“Still, you must keep this a secret; if not, you’ll have to resign from here of your accord.” The man closed the folder in his hands and the viciousness in his eyes caused a shiver to run down her spine.
What kind of man is he? Why does his every knitting of brows and smile so terrifying? She did not even dare to flirt with him or use seduction on him unlike with other men.
Could the rumors outside be true? Still, the so-called CEO’s wife was absent from this room.
“Sure, sir. Do you need anything else?” She shot a glance at the stack of red notes on the table. Regardless if he took a fancy on her later, this was still a pretty good deal.
“No need; oh, bring ginger tea with red sugar over, too.” Ji Ziming got up and picked up some of the money on the table as he approached her. Seeing her exposing so much skin, he could not find a suitable place to put the money on and could only stuff it in her chest.
Bai Jingjing was very satisfied with his action, and her embarrassed look made her resemble an innocent, little, white bunny. “Don’t... Don’t do this.”
Her voice was so sweet that one’s bone could crumble upon hearing it. Alas, the man’s eyes merely darkened and he narrowed them at her as he spoke in an icy and authoritative voice. “If you don’t wear proper work attire the next time, please forgive us from being unable to accommodate you here.”
“Sir...”
Bai Jingjing was taken aback by the cold look in the man’s eyes. Her seduction was clearly useful against other men, so why did it fail on him?
The man got her to buy stuff for women, but his supposed wife could not be seen in the office. If this was not for another woman, then the only possibility was that it was for his wife.
Could the rumors be true that this icy CEO had become a crazy, wife-slave?
Before she could confirm her conjecture, she was hurried out of the office by the man. Hence, she could only take the hundred yuan and head to the convenience store downstairs to find high-quality sanitary pads.
After buying the item, she carried it back to Red Star. She collided with a rich-looking lady at the entrance, though, and the latter nearly lost her balance if not for her bodyguards’ timely aid. The woman turned and saw Bai Jingjing, who was picking up the sanitary pads from the ground.
Seeing the floor littered with sanitary pads, she could not help but become curious. No woman would use so many pads; moreover, there was just not one brand.
Since this was so, it could only mean that this lady was buying these pads on behalf of another. Furthermore, it was clearly someone this lady was unfamiliar with and most likely her superior instead of a subordinate.
“Who are you buying this stuff for?” Old Lady Qu looked fondly at the lady as she repeated her question. “Miss, who are you buying this for?”
She helped the latter pick up all the items on the ground, but Bai Jingjing, who straightened up and glared at her. “Ma’am, do you not have eyes? This Red Star here, and if something happens to you from bumping into someone, what will happen? Is this our company’s responsibility or yours?
“You really know how to speak.” The elderly woman was not infuriated by her aggression, and seeing that the latter was acting like this, she devised a scheme.
A woman like this must be rare in the company, but a leader like her was even rarer.
“Whether I know how to speak or not has got nothing to do with you.” Bai Jingjing, who always mixed with men, was unsuitable to mingle with women.
The reason was same sex repelled.
“Miss, you’re so hot-headed when you speak. Be careful not to anger your clients, or your boss will surely dock your salary.”
“Hmph!” She rolled her eyes. “If you’re here to buy a house, you’d look for someone from the marketing department and not waste time squibbling with me over this nonsense.”
“You’re quite intelligent.” A look of praise appeared in the eldelry woman’s eyes. If she could get this lady to work for her, she would surely get amazing results.
“Thanks for your praise; if ma’am has friends who are looking to buy properties, please recommend me; I can give them a discount.”
