Chapter 245: Looking for another sister?
It's 8:30 in the morning.
Chen Zhi arrived at the IAPM mall, bought two Americanos, and carried them up to the twentieth floor.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, he saw someone sitting on the sofa in the lounge area next to the reception desk.
Jiang Ke changed into a black suit jacket today, with a white shirt underneath. Her hair was neatly styled, and she wore a pair of slightly worn black mid-heel leather shoes.
This outfit was clearly carefully prepared, fitting the image of a newcomer to the workplace without being too flashy.
Upon seeing Chen Zhi step out of the elevator, Jiang Ke immediately stood up as if she had springs in her body.
"Good morning, Mr. Chen." Jiang Ke bowed slightly, her attitude impeccable.
Chen Zhi glanced at his watch.
"You're here quite early."
"It was my first day at work, and I was worried about traffic, so I left an hour early," Jiang Ke answered politely.
Chen Zhi nodded, said nothing more, swiped his card, and pushed open the company's glass door.
"Come in with me."
Jiang Ke followed closely behind Chen Zhi, her gaze quickly sweeping over the office area of Deep Space Technology.
Spacious and bright open-plan workstations, minimalist decor, and Tsinghua and Peking University PhDs already sitting in front of their computers working at 8:30 in the morning.
This is currently the most prominent unicorn company in China's AI industry.
Jiang Ke clenched her fists inwardly.
She is determined to settle down here.
Chen Zhi led Jiang Ke through the corridor, preparing to head towards the personnel department, when suddenly someone walked towards them.
Pei Ningxue.
Today she wore a perfectly tailored space gray business suit, with a white silk shirt underneath and a pair of stiletto heels.
He was holding a financial statement and looking down at it.
Hearing footsteps, Pei Ningxue looked up.
Her gaze passed over Chen Zhi and landed on Jiang Ke, who was following behind him.
Women's intuition is often frighteningly accurate.
Pei Ningxue stopped in her tracks.
She looked Jiang Ke up and down.
Jiang Ke was considered a star and a beauty at school, but in front of Pei Ningxue, a rich young lady who had been raised with money since childhood, she was instantly overshadowed in terms of both aura and temperament.
"Good morning, Mr. Pei." Chen Zhigan coughed and took the initiative to greet him.
Pei Ningxue ignored him, her gaze remaining fixed on Jiang Ke.
"New here?" Pei Ningxue's voice was indifferent.
"Yes, she's an intern assigned to do odd jobs in the administration department." Chen Zhi handed her another Americano, "I brought it for you."
Pei Ningxue did not accept the coffee.
She gave a cold laugh, a chilling smile curling at the corners of her lips.
"Does the administrative department intern need to be personally supervised by General Manager Chen during the onboarding process?"
Upon hearing this, several passing employees quickened their pace, fearing they would be drawn into the battle between the boss and his wife.
Jiang Ke was a shrewd person and immediately sensed that something was wrong.
She quickly lowered her head and took the initiative to explain, "Hello, Mr. Pei, I am..."
"Did I ask you?" Pei Ningxue interrupted her.
Jiang Ke's words caught in her throat, her face flushed red, and she bit her lower lip hard.
Pei Ningxue looked at Chen Zhi again, her eyes cold.
"Mr. Chen, come to my office."
After saying that, she walked towards the CFO's office at the end of the corridor without looking back.
Chen Zhi sighed inwardly.
Oh no, this lady's jealousy has been spilled again.
He turned to look at Jiang Ke, who was still frozen in place, and pointed to a glass office in front of him.
"That's the HR department. Go straight in and find Manager Wang. Tell him you're an intern here to report for duty and ask him to process your paperwork."
Jiang Ke bit her lip and nodded: "Okay, Mr. Chen."
After giving his instructions, Chen Zhi strode towards Pei Ningxue's office.
Push open the door.
Pei Ningxue was sitting behind a large desk, arms crossed, looking at him coldly.
"Close the door."
Chen Zhi locked the door behind her, casually placed the Americano on her table, and pulled out a chair to sit down.
"What's wrong? Why are you so irritable so early in the morning?" Chen Zhi laughed it off.
Pei Ningxue wasn't buying it at all.
She leaned forward, staring into Chen Zhi's eyes.
"Wow, Mr. Chen, you've really got guts now." Pei Ningxue's tone was laced with resentment. "Having three girlfriends isn't enough? Are you planning to add another new 'sister' to our lives?"
Chen Zhi almost choked to death on his own saliva.
"What nonsense!" Chen Zhi quickly waved his hand. "It's a shame you don't use your imagination to write novels."
"I'm just imagining things?" Pei Ningxue sneered. "That woman has a vixen-like face, and the way she looks at you is like she wants to stick to you. You, a CEO worth billions, personally bring an intern to the company first thing in the morning. Do you think I'm blind?"
"Her name is Jiang Ke, and she is a freshman at the Renmin University Law School."
Pei Ningxue frowned instantly upon hearing the words "Renmin University Law School".
"Li Zhiyi's classmate?"
"Not only are we in the same class, but she's also the class monitor." Chen Zhi nodded. "Her family situation is rather complicated. She has a father who's a leech off her, and she works several jobs to make ends meet. I don't know how she found out who I am, but she played the victim in front of Li Zhiyi, trying to get Li Zhiyi to beg me to give her an internship opportunity."
Pei Ningxue was stunned for a moment.
She was a smart person, and after a little thought, she understood the intricacies of the situation.
"So, this woman is using your naive and innocent school beauty as a pawn?" Pei Ningxue raised an eyebrow.
"It's obvious." Chen Zhi shrugged. "You know Li Zhiyi's personality. She softens when others shed a couple of tears. Last night, she came to my dorm and begged me to help her classmate. What could I do? I couldn't just stand by and watch her be fooled like a fool."
Pei Ningxue's expression softened slightly.
But she still scoffed, "Then why didn't you just refuse? Why bring someone to the company to disgust me?"
"You don't understand," Chen Zhi smiled and leaned forward. "People who are ambitious, cunning, and desperately short of money are actually the most useful tools."
Pei Ningxue looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
"She wanted to climb higher, so I gave her a ladder. But this ladder isn't so easy to climb." Chen Zhi tapped his fingers twice on the table. "I threw her into the administration department to do odd jobs, to do the hardest and most tedious work. To stay, she'll definitely work her as hard as she can."
Chen Zhi tried his best to make his tone sound emotionless.
"Once she's been drained of her value, or if she slips up in some way, I can fire her anytime. And..."
Chen Zhi looked at Pei Ningxue.
"Keeping her under our noses is better than letting her continue to fool Li Zhiyi at school."
Pei Ningxue suddenly let out a cold laugh.
"You talk a good game, but you don't act it." Pei Ningxue crossed her arms. "You dare say you have absolutely no feelings for her? Isn't her look exactly the type you men like the most?"
Chen Zhi was speechless.
"President Pei, your jealousy is really unreasonable." Chen Zhi stood up, walked around the desk to her side.
Pei Ningxue turned her head away, refusing to look at him.
"Why would I abandon a stunningly beautiful fiancée like you, worth billions, to covet a scheming woman who can't even afford a meal? Am I out of my mind?"
Chen Zhi braced his hands on the armrests of the boss's chair, trapping Pei Ningxue between himself and the chair.
Upon hearing the words "fiancée," Pei Ningxue's ears turned slightly red.
But she still wouldn't let it go.
"Who's your fiancée? Stop trying to make yourself look good." Pei Ningxue glared at him.
Chen Zhi lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and whispered.
"Who was it that put my ring on the yacht on the Huangpu River last night and even kissed me first?"
Pei Ningxue's face instantly turned bright red.
She shoved Chen Zhi aside and hurriedly tidied up the documents on the table.
"Alright, alright, stop acting like a hooligan." Pei Ningxue tried to remain calm, but her eyes betrayed her. "You've gotten away with Jiang Ke's matter, but I'm warning you, keep her away from me. I get annoyed just looking at her."
"Yes, Mr. Pei." Chen Zhi stood up straight and gave a salute.
Pei Ningxue rolled her eyes at him, picked up the Americano on the table, and took a sip.
"Let's get down to business." Pei Ningxue's expression returned to work mode. "The people from Musical Notes are coming this afternoon, so you'd better prepare and don't make excuses about not having time again."
