Chapter 49: Canteen Meal

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Whenever their eyes locked, the female employee’s face immediately turned shy.

Pei Xin, who was beside Li Ze, also attracted a wave of jealous gazes.

The female employees whispered among themselves.

“Who is this woman? She’s been in President Li’s office all morning and hasn’t come out.”

“I heard that she’s a new assistant that President Li hired, but who would have an assistant in the same office as the President? 1 think this woman just wants to get into his bed.”

“That must be the case. President Li must not like her very much. Otherwise, he would have taken her to a luxurious meal. Why would he bring her to the staff canteen to eat?”

“This means that she’s only worthy of ordinary food in the canteen in his eyes.”

Pei Xin didn’t know that because of this action, the company’s employees mistakenly thought that she was only trying to get into Li Ze’s pants.

She ordered braised pork, two vegetables, and a plate of ribs.

Seeing that there were already four dishes, Pei Xin stopped.

During her years in prison, her cellmates would spit on her food on purpose.

She had no choice but to pick out the vegetables that had been spat on and continue eating the rice with the remaining vegetables left.

The food in the prison was ordinary. It could not be compared to meals in Li Ze’s company.

Pei Xin’s eyes lit up after eating a mouthful of meat.

Paired with two dishes of vegetables, Pei Xin felt like she had the best meal of her life.

Li Ze originally disliked the canteen, but seeing Pei Xin eating so happily, he felt that the most ordinary food in his hands had suddenly become delicious.

The two of them had a great time during the meal.

There were many employees around them who were secretly observing them.

“Why does President Li look happy to be here? It’s like he only has eyes for her. Did he come to the canteen for her?”

“I think so. If President Li thinks that a woman is worthless and doesn’t want to spend money on her, then he wouldn’t have brought her out to eat. President Li brought her to the canteen for dinner even though he doesn’t like coming here. That’s why I think she’s special.”

“Don’t spout nonsense here. What right does she have to get special attention from President Li? I can’t even find any information about her online. She’s not a socialite from Haicheng.”

The employees were divided into two factions.

One faction felt that Li Ze brought Pei Xin to the canteen for a meal because Pei Xin should have a special place in Li Ze’s heart, which was why he came all the way here.

The other faction felt that Li Ze did not care about Pei Xin at all, which was why he brought Pei Xin here to eat cheap food.

Pei Xin, who was involved, ate happily, and her impression of Li Ze became much better. She did not think that the workers were secretly gossiping about her.

She thought that Li Ze would go crazy and take revenge on her, but she did not expect that the most peaceful days she had after she was released from prison would come true with Li Ze’s support.

” Thank you.” Pei Xin looked at Li Ze sincerely after she returned to the office. “The two days I’ve been in Haicheng have been the most peaceful days I’ve had since 1 was released from prison. Thank you for taking care of me. 1 was young and impetuous in my past. I thought that you were humiliating me by giving me expensive gifts. 1 need to apologize to you for how 1 reacted in the past.”

Looking at Pei Xin’s sincere eyes, Li Ze suddenly felt ashamed.

He turned his face away, not daring to look Pei Xin in the eye.

Li Zehui waved his hand. “Alright, alright. Hurry up and get to work. There’s so much we haven’t checked yet.”

“Yes, sir!” Pei Xinxing rushed back to her seat.

Pei Xin quickly focused on her work and couldn’t care less about anything else.

Meanwhile, Li Ze secretly stole glances at Pei Xin. When he saw how focused Pei Xin was, Li Ze felt his heart ache.

Back then, when he saw Pei Xin go to prison, he also had the thought of taking revenge on Pei Xin for disregarding him.

Pei Xin had suffered so much inhumane torture, yet she still had the capacity to express her gratitude to him.

Li Ze felt that he did not deserve Pei Xin’s apology.

If only he could turn back time, he would have risked everything to save Pei Xin.

Pei Xin went to the washroom mid-day. While she was in the washroom, she heard the female employees discussing outside.

“Where did that vixen come from? She looks quite pure and innocent. 1 bet that all she does is seduce people. I don’t know where she got the ability to work in President Li’s office.”

“I don’t know either. 1 couldn’t find any information about her from the HR department. She must have entered the company through the back door.”

“She has nothing about her. There are many female celebrities chasing after President Li.. Who does she think she is waltzing in and claiming that spot?”
