Soft light streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Anyone in the office would feel relaxed and happy under the soft light.
Bai Jiayu wasn't a beautiful woman, but she was focused on her work, and her entire body exuded a charming and confident glow.
Suddenly, Bai Jiayu put down the pen in her hand and turned her stiff neck. Her gaze stopped on the clock on the wall that showed twelve o'clock.
No wonder she felt hungry. It was already noon. She stretched herself. It was time for her to rest and fill her stomach.
She picked up her bag from the cabinet and walked to the door, but her body was blocked by a thick wall.
She looked up and her dark pupils met a pair of smiling eyes.
"It's you!" After meeting him several times, Bai Jiayu had a deep dislike for this two-faced person. If he wasn't Yun 'er's third brother, she would have kicked him out a long time ago. How could she allow him to block her way?
"Go out for dinner?"
"Nonsense, are you going out to play?" she said in a bad tone.
This woman was getting more and more outrageous. She didn't even put him in her eyes. Although he liked to tease her, he only took special care of her because she was Yuner's friend.
Humph! If it were any other woman, he would not have bothered with her.
"You don't have to go out. I've bought it for you.”He shook the bag in his hand.
"Thanks, but I don't want to go to the toilet later.”Only a ghost would believe that he would be so kind! Once the lunchbox was filled with laxatives, there was no way he could mess with her.
From the first day, he had teased her for fun. He teased her every few days, causing her to lose face and embarrass herself in front of everyone. Moreover, whenever she accused him of his actions, he would pretend to be innocent to gain everyone's sympathy, causing everyone to think that she was framing him.
Now, she had learned to fight against this hateful man with reason.
"Don't worry, I'm not that bad.”After pulling her to her seat, Pei Chenghao opened the lunchbox in his hand. It was Bai Jiayu's favorite pork rib rice.
"Tell me, what do you want to do this time?”Although there was the temptation of delicious food in front of her, she still stared at him warily and did not have the intention to pick up her chopsticks at all.
"If you're afraid that I'll give you laxatives, why don't I just take a bite and show you?”After saying that, he really picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of food from her lunchbox.
Bai Jiayu was still looking at him warily.
About three minutes later, after confirming that he really hadn't put laxatives in the lunchbox, Bai Jiayu picked up her chopsticks and started eating her rib lunchbox.
"It's delicious, right?" Pei Chenghao's words carried a trace of pity. He always felt that looking at her was like looking at Yuner. Both of them had natural and unpretentious personalities.
"Of course." Bai Jiayu ate with relish and didn't hold back at all.
"Be careful, don't choke."
Suddenly, Bai Jiayu stopped what she was doing and looked at him suspiciously." Why are you so kind as to bring me a lunchbox today? And it's my favorite rib lunchbox?" Tell me honestly, are you trying to frame me again?”
It wasn't that she was narrow-minded, but that he had too many bad records, so she had to be vigilant at all times and couldn't relax for even a moment. Otherwise, she would definitely be the one to embarrass herself.
"Don't think of me as such a bad person. I also have a kind side.”
Before he teased Bai Jiayu, he had no idea that he had a mischievous side to him. Since Bai Jiayu was the one who had brought out this hidden bad side of his, she naturally had to be responsible for letting him play with her.
In front of everyone, he was still the serious Pei Chenghao, CEO Pei, and sometimes even the acting CEO. However, in front of Bai Jiayu, he was like an evil man who enjoyed teasing her everywhere.
"Come on, after these few days of getting along, my opinion of you has completely changed.”Bai Jiayu said through gritted teeth. If she hadn't been teased by him so many times, she wouldn't have hated him to the core.
One day, when she had the chance to take revenge, she would not let him off easily!
For some reason, he liked to see her fierce look. It was the source of his energy for the whole day.
"So in your eyes, I'm such an unbearable person. You really hurt my heart.”He pretended to hold his heart and said sadly.
If anyone else saw Pei Chenghao like this, they would definitely be so shocked that their jaws would dislocate. However, Bai Jiayu was already used to it.
Pei Chenghao's act of pretending to be pitiful was useless against her.
"I'm very grateful that you brought me a lunchbox, but please don't make me vomit after eating a few mouthfuls.”Bai Jiayu said with a fake smile.
"I didn't expect the charm of a bento to far surpass mine. Sigh!”
"Stop acting in front of me." She lowered her head and continued to eat her lunch, completely treating Pei Chenghao as an invisible person.
She would not be nice to a man who had turned into a devil.
Pei Chenghao forced a smile." There's a charity event tonight. Remember to wear something beautiful. I'll pick you up at seven.”
"No need. Give me the invitation card. I'll go by myself.”If she appeared with him, she would probably attract the jealous gazes of a large group of women. She did not want to become the public enemy of women.
"How can this be? The CEO personally ordered me to pick you up and send you back safely.”Not allowing her to refuse, Pei Chenghao turned around and left after he finished speaking.
He was really a domineering man! Bai Jiayu thought to herself.
"The meeting is over. Chenglin and Jiayu, stay behind. I have something to tell you.”
The lengthy meeting ended with Pei Chenghuan's authoritative order. All the supervisors scattered like birds and beasts, leaving only Pei Chenghuan and Bai Jiayu behind.
"What orders do you have, CEO?" After everyone left, Bai Jiayu spoke slowly.
"Jiayu, are you used to it?”Bae Chenghuan asked concernedly. After all, Bai Jiayu was like a younger sister to him, which was why he was especially concerned about her.
"I've been able to adapt to it for the past month.”
In just a month, Bai Jiayu, who had a strong learning and comprehension ability, had already understood this job clearly. Her ability was not inferior to Pei Yun `er, and she was a very good financial talent.
Bae Chenghuan nodded at her. "Just by looking at your meeting report today, I can see that you didn't let down Yun 'er's expectations.”
In the meeting just now, Bai Jiayu's confidence and determination, which was not inferior to a man's, had made everyone admire and admire her from the bottom of their hearts.
Bai Jiayu accepted the compliment without any modesty. "I haven't fully displayed my strength yet.”
Seeing this, Pei Chenghao could not help but shake his head.
This woman really didn't know how to write the word 'modesty'. However, this was also one of the traits that attracted others. She was full of confidence and always exuded a charm whenever she talked.
Just like earlier, all the supervisors were focused on her and listening to her speech. Her performance had completely conquered the hearts of all the supervisors.
This was something he had never expected. His impression of Bai Jiayu had always been that of the little girl next door. Little did he know that over the past ten years, the innocent girl had long since become a charming woman.
She was like a shining pearl, attracting everyone's attention and adoration.
"Do you have any objections?" Although Pei Chenghao's shaking of his head was very small, Bai Jiayu's sharp eyes still noticed it. She glared at Pei Chenghao unhappily.
All this while, he was the only one who dared to go against her, and he would tease her whenever he had the chance. It seemed that he was addicted to teasing her, and he did not care how miserable the outcome would be if he angered her.
In her impression, Pei Chenghao was clearly not someone who liked to tease others, but his behavior in the past month was so different that it made her gnash her teeth in hatred.
He was a devil with a handsome appearance.
All the good impressions and politeness she had of Pei Chenghao had long been replaced by his bad behavior and worn away.
Towards Pei Chenghao, she could only grit her teeth in hatred.
Bae Chenghuan looked at the two of them and sighed softly.
Here it comes again! This was already countless times. These two people's verbal swords often gave him a headache. It was clearly an arrangement that was happy for everyone, but in the end, it turned into a tit-for-tat situation, making him really feel powerless.
Bae Chenghuan rubbed his aching forehead awkwardly. He didn't expect that matchmaking was so difficult.
A month ago, he thought that Yun 'er was right, but now he didn't think so, but he still had to continue to play the role of Yue Lao.
He could only hope that one day, these two people's nerves would be crossed and they would fall in love with each other.
But would there be such a day?
He shuddered. He simply couldn't imagine what would happen if two people who didn't get along at all really took a fancy to each other.
"How would I dare to have any objections?" Pei Chenghao revealed a row of neat teeth.
Bai Jiayu glanced at him from the corner of her eyes. Anyone who would believe his nonsense was an idiot. Others thought that it was a sexy smile full of charm, but only she knew that it was a smile that hid evil intentions.
He must be up to something in his heart to laugh like this! It seemed that she had to be careful.
Bai Jiayu's cold gaze met his big smile.
"What a fake smile." She pursed her lips.
Because of Bae Chenghuan's presence, Bae Chenghuan acted very serious. He did not want to show the evil side that only Bai Jiayu knew because this was a " privilege " that only Bai Jiayu could enjoy. He could not let others take away her " rights ".
"I really don't understand. Why are the two of you so at odds?”Bae Chenghuan's slender fingers tapped on the table, making rhythmic sounds.
"Humph!" Bai Jiayu snorted coldly.
"If this goes on, how can I trust the two of you to handle this matter?”Bae Chenghuan deliberately sighed and said earnestly.
"What is it?" Pei Chenghao asked in confusion.
"The company is preparing to develop a super large department store in Han with the Songdao Group of Japan. They have a lot of experience in the development of department stores, so I'm very assured to cooperate with them. However, for the benefit of the company, the contract between the two parties had to be handled properly. This was Chengyu's job, but he went back to Taiwan with Qing Ying to visit his family, so you and Jiayu will handle this task.”
"That's simple. I'll do it.”Pei Chenghao did not say anything and planned to take on the job himself.
"Listen carefully. I want the two of you to go.”Bae Chenghuan said sternly.
" Don't you trust my ability?" Pei Chenghao asked him.
"It's not that I don't trust you, but I've already investigated. The Songdao Group sent a woman to contact our company.”Bae Seonghwan looked at them with a grave expression.
"Since it's a woman, I'm the most suitable person to do it.”Pei Chenghao smiled conceitedly.
"As soon as she heard that it was a woman, she looked lecherous.”Bai Jiayu complained. "Do you think that you're Pan An's reincarnation and that all women have to submit to your charm?”
"I didn't say that." From the words that came out of her mouth, he knew that she had long believed the media reports and had determined that he was a dissolute.
"If that's the case, I don't have to worry so much. The problem is that the woman doesn't like men.”
"Could she be a homosexual?" Bai Jiayu looked at Bae Chenghuan with widened eyes in shock.
"Her sexual orientation is no longer a secret in the Japanese industry, so I hope that Jiayu can complete this important contract on behalf of the company.”Bae Chenghuan's expression was serious.
"But I don't know much about this contract.”Her expertise was in finance, but in business, that was not her specialty.
"That's why I want Chenglin to stay by your side and bring you into the situation.”Bae Seonghwan said seriously," I attach great importance to this collaboration with Songdao Group, so I don't want anyone to mess up everything. You and Chengyu are both my trusted assistants. I can't be more assured to leave this matter to you.”
"Can I?" she muttered in confusion.
"Only you are the most suitable."
"Who was the one who said that she hasn't fully displayed her strength? Could it be that she was just bragging?”Pei Chenghao said provocatively.
After being provoked by him, Bai Jiayu said without thinking,""I will complete this mission."
Damn it! Pei Chenghao's provocative gaze did not put her in his eyes at all, causing her to agree without thinking.
But as soon as she said it, she immediately regretted it.
She could tell that Brother Chenghuan placed great importance on this contract, but she knew nothing about business. If she destroyed Brother Chenghuan's trust in her, she would really be a sinner.
Pei Chenghao smiled triumphantly. He knew that this woman's personality could not be provoked. As long as he provoked her a little, she would retaliate like a hedgehog.
"Very good. This is the woman's information. Take a look, then immediately go to the Intercontinental Hotel where she is staying to find her. Remember, the two of you represent the company. Don't embarrass the company.”Bae Chenghuan looked at them meaningfully.
"Don't worry. Leave the matter to us. We'll definitely succeed.”Pei Chenghao promised him.
Finally, Bae Chenghuan heaved a sigh of relief. He hoped that this arrangement would quickly warm up their relationship and stop them from looking down on each other. Otherwise, everyone's hopes for them would be dashed again.
Seoul
The Han comprehensive trade center was an ultra-modern building that gathered the most cutting-edge technology in the big city. The Intercontinental Hotel, which had a modern department store with a duty-free high-end goods distribution center, was the commercial center of the Han country.
The Trade Center had a new design tower, and the bright exhibition hall was built with natural lighting technology, which was a big attraction for tourists.
Bai Jiayu, who had been living in the United States for the past few years, had never seen her hometown transform into such a tourist attraction.
This made Bai Jiayu proud of being a Han citizen.
"I haven't been back for a few years. I didn't expect this place to change so much.”The crowded crowd showed that Han was the pride of the Han people.
Her bright eyes looked around, and every time she saw a neck full of surprise, the happy expression on her face was like a bright light, making people reluctant to look away.
Pei Chenghao looked at her bright smile in a daze and realized that the closer he got to her, the more his heart was attracted to her smile.
Looking at him, he actually had an impulse.
It must have been a long time since he had touched a woman, that was why he felt that Bai Jiayu was full of femininity at this moment…
She was like his sister. How could he have any ill intentions towards her?
Pei Chenghao quickly wiped away the inexplicable throbbing in his heart and followed Bai Jiayu without saying a word.
"If I didn't have a job, I would really like to go shopping.”It had been a long time since she could let go of her feelings. She would find Yun `er to come here and shop tomorrow.
"If you want to go shopping, I'll accompany you later.”
"You?" Bai Jiayu shouted excitedly.
"You don't have to be so surprised." It was really sad to teach him to see it!
"There's no need. It's better for us to keep a distance.”If he suddenly became playful, wouldn't she be in trouble again?
"Are you afraid that I'll tease you again?”
"What a joke. The word 'fear' doesn't exist in my dictionary. I just don't want to go shopping with you.”
She knew that Pei Chenghao had always been the focus of the media, so it was better to keep a distance from him in private.
"Don't worry, those reporters won't be that stupid, and my judgment won't be bad enough to lay a hand on a little girl.”He enjoyed the thrill of this verbal battle.
"Are you beating around the bush and saying that I won't grow up?”Bai Jiayu stopped and glared at him fiercely.
"I didn't say that. You admitted it yourself.”However, he did not do anything about it and had an innocent expression on his face.
"Pei. Cheng. Yan!"
"I remember that you were very polite in the past and always called me Third Brother Chengchen. I didn't expect that in just a month, your manners had completely disappeared.”His lips curled up slightly as he looked at her with his arms crossed.
As the crowd gathered, more and more people looked at the two people standing in the middle of the hall. The woman looked like a fierce tigress, while the man was smiling and handsome.
"A person like you is not worthy of my respect at all. Everyone is the same before and after. You are simply a hypocrite.”Bai Jiayu's eyes shot out a sharp light.
"A woman should have the reserved appearance of a woman. If you look fierce like this, be careful that no man will dare to want you.”Pei Chenghao had a regretful expression.
"Thank you for your reminder. Even if no man dares to want me, I can still live a good life.”She puffed out her chest and retorted righteously.
"That's right. With your appearance, any man who likes you will definitely be asking for trouble.”He continued to fight back with a smile.
"You!" Bai Jiayu raised her fist, the anger in her chest building. However, the snickers in her ears made her look around in confusion. Only then did she realize that the two of them had become the focus of everyone's attention.
Everyone gave them ambiguous looks, thinking that they were a couple quarreling.
Damn it! He had made her the laughing stock of everyone again!
Bai Jiayu quickly left in her high heels while Pei Chenghao followed closely behind her.
"You better stay away from me." She warned in a low voice.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. The two of us had better appear in front of Miyazaki Saka calmly, or else we'll mess up the contract.”Pei Chenghao stopped joking and reminded her.
"This is all your fault."
"Yes, it's all my fault. I apologize to you, okay?”His tone was filled with pity that even he himself did not realize.
"That's more like it." Seeing that they were about to reach their destination, Bai Jiayu felt embarrassed to make things difficult for him. The contract was the work that the two of them had to complete together. She couldn't ruin the big deal because of her momentary displeasure. That would not be worth it.
"I wonder if Miyazaki Sakura is a difficult woman to deal with?”
Passing through the crowd, they arrived at the Intercontinental Hotel. The two of them walked straight to Miyazaki Saka's room.
"As far as I know, she is a well-known figure in the Japanese business world. Her social skills are not inferior to men, and even her personality is the same. Anyone who knew her would give her a thumbs up.”
Bae Seung Hwan rarely praised a woman, but after reading Miyazaki Saka's information, he knew that his opponent this time was not simple. He definitely could not let his guard down.
This was bad. If she really screwed up this contract, she might very well pack up and leave. Bai Jiayu thought to herself.
"But it's different with me around. Whether it's a man or a woman, we'll definitely get the contract and satisfy Big Brother.”Pei Chenghao said confidently. He planned to perform well in front of Bai Jiayu.
"I'm not as optimistic as you." Why did Big Brother Chenghuan send such a smug fellow to partner with her? He was simply torturing her!
He didn't even know if he could succeed, but he was already so smug. It seemed that this would be a difficult task.
Bai Jiayu shook her head and didn't want to bother with this arrogant guy anymore. She quickly walked towards Miyazaki Saka's room.
Looking at this little girl's disdainful expression, it was obvious that she did not believe in his ability!
Humph! Later, she would reveal a face full of shock and admiration towards him. Because, as long as he, Pei Chenghao, stepped out, there was absolutely nothing that he could not do!#
