Sweet Temptation! The Beauty in President Pei's Palm is Too Alluring

"Boom—" Shu Hua's face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe tomato.

What a hypocritical beast in human clothing!

She tried to remain calm, then started to act coy, her voice soft and sweet, with a hint of naivety: "Was it comfortable? I don't remember."

Pei Yanzhou raised an eyebrow. Was he playing the amnesia card with him?

"Don't you remember?" he repeated slowly.

"Hmm, I don't remember." Shu Hua nodded vigorously, even though he couldn't see.

"That's perfect," Pei Yanzhou said in a low voice, with a hint of dangerous seduction. "Tonight I can help you recall things properly. It seems my service last night wasn't good enough, so Mrs. Pei... didn't have a very deep impression."

"Pei Yanzhou!" Shu Hua almost jumped up in embarrassment, scolding the phone, "You...you shut up! I'm eating out!"

"Outside?" Pei Yanzhou caught the key words. "Alone? What did you eat?"

"Japanese ramen," Shu Hua answered honestly, then quickly added, "I'll finish eating soon, and then I'll go home!"

"Okay, be careful on the road." Pei Yanzhou stopped teasing her. "Wait for me to come home tonight."

"Okay," Shu Hua replied softly. After hanging up the phone, she touched her still burning cheeks and waved her little fist in the air.

Hmph, I'm not waiting for you to come home tonight!

She needs to go to bed early and get up early, adjust her schedule, and go to work properly.

Shu Hua hung up the phone with satisfaction, her fingertips still warm from the flush on her cheeks.

Although the bad man ultimately turned the tables on me, the core demand of "keeping the relationship private" was finally achieved!

She happily finished her bowl of rich Japanese ramen, and in the afternoon she leisurely went for a full-body spa treatment, completely forgetting the fatigue of the morning.

Anyway, she did her best; the rest is up to fate.

Shu Xiaohua's philosophy of life is: work hard but don't force things, be easygoing but don't give up.

Unbeknownst to her, after she left the Pei Building, news had already quietly spread within a small circle that "a Yale graduate with stunning looks joined the design department and directly made a bizarre male applicant cry." Meanwhile, in the CEO's office on the top floor, Assistant Chen received instructions to quietly retrieve the surveillance footage from the lobby on the first floor for a specific period of time.

The next morning at ten o'clock, Shu Hua was wearing soft pajamas, nestled in the huge sofa in the living room, holding a bowl of crystal-clear grapes, eating them while watching the latest variety show.

A new email notification suddenly popped up above the tablet.

She lazily tapped it with her fingertip.

The words "Employment Notice from Pei's Group" in bold black font immediately caught the eye.

"Ah!" she exclaimed softly, her lips curving into an uncontrollable smile, like a kitten that had just stolen some fish.

Take a screenshot immediately, find that familiar black profile picture, and send it.

Caption: [President Pei, please guide me in the future! [spinning.jpg]]

He replied almost instantly.

Pei Yanzhou: [Congratulations.]

Two seconds later, another message appeared: "[Celebrating at home tonight.]"

Shu Hua looked at the word "celebration," and the heat that had just subsided returned to her cheeks. She felt that there was something more to this man's words!

Her fingers flew across the keyboard: [Just a simple celebratory meal will do! [Serious.jpg]]

Pei Yanzhou: [Depends on my mood.]

Shu Hua: "..."

dog man!

-

On her first day at work, Shu Hua got up especially early.

When I woke up, he had already gone to work.

Shu Hua browsed through the dressing room and finally settled on a light apricot silk shirt paired with a lotus root pink high-waisted fishtail skirt.

It not only conforms to workplace etiquette but also perfectly highlights her slender waist and beautiful hip and leg curves. The skirt sways as she walks, exuding charm.

She arrived early, and the HR process went smoothly. After completing the formalities, she was taken to the floor where the design department was located.

Design Director Jona was waiting for her at the door, still looking as capable as she had during the last interview.

"Shuhua, welcome to the design department." Qiao Na extended her hand, her smile even warmer than before. "Our department has a relaxed atmosphere, but we are very serious about our profession. We hope you can integrate quickly."

"Thank you, Director Qiao. I will study hard." Shu Hua extended her hand and shook her hand gently, her posture humble yet poised.

Her workstation was assigned to a bright corner by the window. Coincidentally, her seatmate was Yao Zhiyao, whom she had met during her previous interview.

"Sister Shuhua! That's great! We're really colleagues now!" Yao Zhiyao's eyes lit up the moment she saw her. She ran over, grabbed her arm happily, and cheered softly.

"Yaoyao, let's help each other from now on." Shu Hua smiled sincerely, feeling a great liking for this simple-minded girl.

Their little commotion attracted the attention of other colleagues in the department.

"A new colleague is here? Wow, he's incredibly good-looking!"

"She's even better looking in person than in her resume photo! Look at her skin, her aura..."

"I heard she's a beautiful and talented woman with bachelor's and master's degrees from Yale!"

"It feels like we need to change the face of our design department!"

Shu Hua felt the curious or admiring gazes, but she was not intimidated. Instead, she smiled and nodded to everyone, looking both beautiful and polite.

The morning session mainly focused on familiarizing myself with the company's internal systems and departmental workflows; the tasks were not heavy.

As soon as the lunch break bell rang, Yao Zhiyao couldn't wait to take Shu Hua's arm.

"Sister Shuhua, come on, I'll take you to the staff cafeteria! I've heard our company's food is famously good!"

The Pei Group's employee cafeteria truly lives up to its reputation, with an environment comparable to a high-end buffet restaurant, offering a wide variety of Chinese and Western dishes, desserts, and fruits.

The two had just found a seat and hadn't even started eating when a suppressed commotion and whispers suddenly arose from the restaurant entrance.

"President Pei!"

"My God, why is CEO Pei in the staff cafeteria today?"

"Doesn't he have his own restaurant? Did the sun rise in the west today? Is he here to inspect the restaurant? Please, I just want to eat in peace."

Shu Hua's heart skipped a beat. She quickly lowered her head, using her long hair to cover her face, pretending to be focused on poking at the broccoli in her plate, silently chanting: You can't see me, you can't see me...

Yao Zhiyao was incredibly excited. She secretly tugged at Shu Hua's skirt and said, "Sister Shu Hua, look! That's our CEO Pei! Isn't he handsome? Doesn't he look like he stepped out of a novel!"

Shu Hua mumbled a "hmm," her head almost buried in her plate.

How could he not be handsome?

If she weren't handsome, would she have been so easily seduced by "good looks" and agreed to the marriage?

Pei Yanzhou was wearing a black suit today, without his glasses, and his cold and stern face made the noisy restaurant instantly quiet down.

The group headed straight to the executive dining area that was separated inside.

Shu Hua's heart, which had been pounding, slowly settled back into place, and she breathed a soft sigh of relief.

The excited yet restrained chatter of female colleagues at the next table drifted into my ears:

"President Pei actually descended to earth today! It was totally worth it!"

"I heard that President Pei is already married. I wonder which family's daughter is so lucky..."

"She must be under tight protection, there's not a single word about it. President Pei really kept her well hidden."

As Shu Hua listened, she felt a strange sensation in her heart, as if she were secretly hiding a sweet and exciting secret that only she knew.

In the afternoon, the design department received a new task: to design the initial visual scheme for a high-end sub-brand that the group is about to launch.

Qiao Na assigned the task to several groups, including the newcomer group where Shu Hua and Yao Zhiyao were, asking them to try to provide some creative ideas.

"This is a great opportunity, so I hope everyone will take it seriously and send me your initial ideas by Friday," Jona instructed.

Shu Hua was very interested in the project and immediately threw herself into the work, researching and looking for inspiration.

She is very focused when she works, with a beautiful profile and long, slightly drooping eyelashes. Her serious demeanor has a unique charm that attracts the attention of many colleagues.

Just before she was about to leave work, her phone vibrated.

Pei Yanzhou sent a message: [Underground parking garage, section B, license plate number Hua A88888. Waiting for you.]

Shu Hua replied: 【I'll just take a taxi home myself.】

Pei Yanzhou: [Get down.]

Shu Hua: "..."

What a domineering jerk!
