She remembered that she had mentioned Huang Zhenzhen's ex - boyfriend to him when she watched the sunrise with a certain man on the eve of the finals. At that time, he had expressed some dissatisfaction with her meddling, but he had promised to help her send that scumbag to prison.
Even though she had torn up the engagement agreement and terminated their relationship, he still fulfilled his promise.
Was he doing all this on purpose to beg for her forgiveness so that he could fight with her for Zai Zai?
He was thinking too much. His sins couldn't be so easily absolved!
Looking up, Xu Zixi said, "Don't thank me. He deserved it. When you look for a boyfriend in the future, you have to be more discerning. Don't be deceived by a man's appearance and sweet words."
It seemed like she was talking to Huang Zhenzhen, but in fact, she was also admonishing herself -
Xu Zixi, don't be deceived by that man's appearance and sweet words again!
Huang Zhenzhen wiped away her tears and nodded vigorously.
Dai Sha said, "Come on, let's not talk about these tear - jerking things. Let's talk about something happy. Yuan Xi, do you know what happened in the design department? Pei Weiwei was removed from her position as the design director for plagiarizing someone else's work. You don't have to worry about her causing you trouble in the company from now on!"
Xu Zixi said, "I know. Ya Ru has already told me."
"Do you know who got her kicked out of the company?" Dai Sha blinked.
Xu Zixi casually guessed, "Chairman Pei?"
Dai Sha waved her finger, "No, it was Mr. Yan, the investor of the Bay Project. Oh, we can't call him the investor anymore. We should call him the major shareholder of Pei's. Now in Pei's, he has more power than Chairman Pei. It was him who kicked Miss Pei out. Everyone is guessing that he did it to vent your anger and support you. Yuan Xi, what's your relationship with Mr. Yan exactly?"
Xu Zixi had long guessed that this man would never give up so easily. He would surely try every means to achieve his goal of fighting for Zai Zai with her. But hearing this news still made her stunned for a moment. Becoming... the largest shareholder of Pei's? And kicking Pei Weiwei out?
Was it really necessary?
She had never regarded Pei Weiwei as a threat. She even thought it was quite fun to tease this "rich young lady", which was a kind of relief in her boring work. Now, this relief was gone.
He was always so self - assertive, thinking that by solving Huang Zhenzhen's ex - boyfriend and Pei Weiwei, she would be grateful to him? And then forgive him and agree to let the two Zai Zais recognize him as their father?
He was wrong! She, Miss Xu, was a woman of principle!
She would never forgive this liar who was full of lies!
Xu Zixi said seriously, "I only knew him in the past. We have no relationship at all. His dismissal of Pei Weiwei has nothing to do with me. Don't talk nonsense! Also, if you hear others misunderstand our relationship in the future, remember to clarify it for me."
Seeing her serious expression, Dai Sha wanted to tell her what Zhou Yaru had seen in Pei Mingyuan's office, but thinking of Zhou Yaru's warning, she could only say:
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you."
After Dai Sha and Huang Zhenzhen left, Xu Zixi sat there blankly for a while before mustering up the courage to continue cleaning the office that had a thin layer of dust. She made a cup of coffee, turned on the computer, and was about to start working when the internal phone suddenly rang.
It was from the reception desk.
"Assistant Yuan, someone brought a bouquet of flowers and said it was specifically for you. Please come down and sign for it."
Flowers?! Xu Zixi was stunned for a moment and immediately thought of Yan Yincheng.
- It wasn't her fault that she thought of him first. It was just that she had heard one topic after another about him, which made her have to associate it with him.
What new trick was he up to? Frowning her delicate and elegant eyebrows, Xu Zixi said angrily, "I reject it. Tell him to leave."
The receptionist said somewhat embarrassedly, "But this person said that the bouquet must be signed for by the recipient in person, otherwise he will be deducted his salary today."
Was he actually threatening her with salary deduction? This was too much!
Xu Zixi slammed down the receiver and rushed downstairs angrily.
At this time, people were still coming to work one after another. The bright red roses were very eye - catching in the bright lobby of Pei's.
"Wow, it's so romantic. Someone sent flowers so early in the morning!"
"Looking at the wrapping paper of the bouquet, it should be from OnlyLove. Their roses are airlifted from Country B every day. They are super fresh, super beautiful and super expensive. That bouquet must cost tens of thousands! How generous!"
"I'm so envious. I wish someone would send me flowers too~"
"Who do you think this bouquet of flowers is for?"
"There are so many girls in the company. Who can guess that?"
Just as everyone was speculating, the elevator door opened, and a beautiful figure walked out and walked straight towards the bouquet.
The hem of her skirt fluttered in the air with her steps, forming a beautiful arc. Her cheeks were faintly pink, perhaps because of shyness. Her eyes were bright, and even her hair was so charming.
"It's Yuan Xi! So that bouquet of flowers is for Yuan Xi~"
"I knew it. Yuan Xi's performance on the finals day was so outstanding. Even I, a girl, couldn't help but be attracted. It's so normal for someone to send her flowers!"
"Do you think it's Young Master Pei who sent the flowers to her?"
"I guess it's Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan became the major shareholder of our Pei's for her and kicked Miss Pei out!"
The elevator opened, and Xu Zixi, filled with anger, saw at a glance a strange man standing at the reception desk, holding a bouquet of roses and waiting. There were quite a few people around, curiously looking at the bouquet of roses and whispering.
Strangely enough, Miss Xu had received many flowers from various suitors in various occasions in her previous life, no matter how precious they were, she could always handle them calmly. But at this moment, this bouquet of roses made her feel ashamed and angry.
- That's right, ashamed and angry.
The person holding the bouquet was a clerk from the flower shop. He was stunned by Xu Zixi's beauty at the first sight and asked,
"Excuse me, is this Miss Yuan Xi?"
Xu Zixi said angrily, "I am."
"A gentleman ordered a bouquet of flowers for you and asked us to deliver it to you in person at this time this morning." the clerk said.
Xu Zixi took the bouquet expressionlessly, then turned around and walked towards the trash can not far away. In front of everyone, she stuffed the bouquet into the trash can!!!
Did he think that sending a bouquet of flowers could calm her anger? Absolutely impossible! No matter how fresh and red the roses were!
"Hey - why did she throw the flowers away?"
The onlookers were stunned.
Xu Zixi finally felt a little more relieved after throwing the flowers away in one go.
"Yuan Xi..." a voice called out from behind. She turned around and saw Pei Mingyuan holding a motorcycle helmet, with a somewhat hurt expression on his face. "You don't like this bouquet of flowers?"
