Soft-centered strawberry cake

Chapter 47 The hanging heart finally died
Before the two could retort, Qi Fei pointed at the woman who was a few years older than her and continued, "Don't think I don't know you have friends in our Planning Department 2. Are you taking your friend's anger out on me? There is a competitive relationship between Planning Department 1 and Planning Department 2, but it's not up to you, a sales department person, to interfere in our Planning Department 1."

"How dare you speak to me, your senior, like that!" The woman was furious at Qi Fei's words, and she stood up abruptly.

However, Qi Fei had her back to Pei Ming, while she was facing him directly. The desk partition had blocked her view, which was why she hadn't seen the large group of people not far away.

Pei Ming gave the woman a look that told her not to speak, and the woman froze on the spot.

"I'm here to work properly with you, and if you accept it respectfully, I'll treat you as a senior. But if you're being disrespectful and sarcastic towards our department, then don't blame me for not treating you as a senior."

After saying that, Qi Fei angrily picked up the proposal on the table and slammed it down heavily.

A new girl from the planning department stood up and looked at Qi Fei with admiration, her eyes sparkling.

Even Du Lian was taken aback. He thought to himself, "Wow! I never knew this girl was so tough!"
Another saleswoman stood up, but the moment she saw Pei Ming, she quickly greeted him, "Hello, President Pei!"

The words "Hello, President Pei" made Qi Fei's head explode. She turned around slowly in disbelief, and sure enough, Pei Ming and several managers from the sales department were standing not far from her.

"Hello, Mr. Pei..." Qi Fei forced a smile and greeted Pei Ming.

God knows how embarrassed she was. Her outburst had just been witnessed by the company's top leader. She wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground.

"Is this how you usually manage your sales department?"

Although Pei Ming spoke in a light and casual tone, his gaze toward the sales department general manager carried a mixture of anger and disappointment.

Watching Pei Ming turn and leave, the sales department general manager first pointed at the woman and angrily hissed, "You just wait!"

He quickly caught up with Pei Ming and tried his best to explain, "President Pei, our sales department is really not like this usually. It's my responsibility that this happened today..."

Pei Ming and his group had already left. Qi Fei knew that the sales department was in the wrong, so she picked up the proposal and walked out of the sales department with a flourish.

Qi Fei knew that after today's commotion, the sales department would be begging the planning department to cooperate.

After walking through the sales department's corridor, the girl following Qi Fei finally dared to speak, "Sister Fei, you were so cool just now! Especially the moment you slammed the proposal on the table, that was so cool!"

"The sales department people always think they're the ones making money for the company, and they always look down on us. I'm not going to tolerate their bad habits!" Qi Fei was still furious when she brought up the topic from earlier.

Qi Fei spoke quite loudly, and the person waiting for the elevator at the corner heard her voice. He then turned to look at Qi Fei, who was about to walk over.

"Sister Fei, we weren't able to reach an agreement this time. Will Manager Li blame us?"

“I’m going back to him right now to complain. If he doesn’t stand up for me, I’m going on strike.”

As soon as Qi Fei finished speaking, she walked around the corner and saw Du Lian looking at her.

"Assistant Du." Qi Fei became much more polite when facing Du Lian.

"I never realized you were this good!" Du Lian said with a teasing smile.

"Did you and President Pei hear everything I said?"

"Yes, every single word." Qi Fei's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died. It seemed that she was about to make a name for herself in the Ming Group.

Du Lian was taking an elevator that was going down, while Qi Fei was going up; the two of them entered different elevators.

As soon as the elevator doors closed, the girl who was with Qi Fei asked her with curiosity, "Who was the person you were talking to just now? He was quite handsome. I saw him among that group of leaders."

“You’ve just arrived, so it’s normal that you don’t know him. He’s President Pei’s assistant, and a special assistant at that.”

"Fei-jie, you know all of President Pei's special assistants so well, you're amazing!"

"We're not close at all, really." Qi Fei was speechless. She and Du Lian had only awkwardly bumped into each other twice in the elevator; they weren't close at all.

The day passed quickly, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making the entire living room look much more beautiful.

The restaurant was brightly lit at this time and smelled wonderfully of food.

At the rectangular dining table, Ming Wei and Pei Ming sat facing each other, with simple home-cooked dishes laid out in front of them.

"Qi Fei told me that you witnessed her arguing with the sales department today, and she was almost scared to death when she saw you."

Ming Weiyi recalled Qi Fei vividly recounting the incident to her that afternoon, and she couldn't help but laugh.

"It's all thanks to you, my work partner. I was just thinking of giving the sales department a makeover, and I didn't expect to find an opportunity right away," Pei Ming said, before continuing to eat the food in his bowl.

"Didn't you give the sales department a good scolding?" Ming Wei also stopped eating and looked at Pei Ming curiously.

Pei Ming looked up at Ming Weiyi and said, "Yeah, I called them into my office and scolded them one by one. They're probably racking their brains to write up rectification measures now."

"Hahaha... Actually, I'm quite curious, how do you manage to act so difficult at the company every day?" Ming Wei was genuinely curious about how someone as gentle as Pei Ming could say such reprimanding things to others.

"Don't pretend. When you have to deal with a bunch of messy things every day, and your subordinates are all thinking up dirty tricks and trying to outsmart you, you'll end up like me."

"That's true. When I'm annoyed at work, I also put on a sour face, let alone you."

Mingwei immediately understood Pei Ming; after all, no one can avoid going crazy at work.

"Oh, right, I'll thank you on Qi Fei's behalf. If you hadn't given the sales manager a hard time today, she might have suffered in the sales department." Ming Wei also thought of Qi Fei again, and she added.

"There's nothing to thank her for. She was in the right in this matter, and besides, she's your friend."

To Pei Ming, Ming Weiyi's friends were like family, and he would help them both publicly and privately.

The phrase "What's more, she's your friend" made Mingwei think a little more. Could it be that Pei Ming spoke up for Qi Fei in front of everyone because Qi Fei was his friend?
It would have been better if she hadn't thought about it. But as soon as she thought about these things, Ming Weiyi's mind was filled with the memory of her intimate contact with Pei Ming last night. She was now really curious about what Pei Ming was thinking.

Pei Ming's lukewarm demeanor every day makes him quite difficult to understand.
