Pei Yan raised his thin lips, but his eyes were very cold, "Come to pay back the money?"

Hearing Pei Yan's words, Lin Man felt a surge of anger in his chest.

"Pei Yan! You know better than anyone whether I owe you money or not."

Is this man crazy about money?

Pei Yan closed the document and threw it on the table. "You didn't owe me the money, but you asked for it yourself, didn't you?"

"When you helped the Ji Group shoulder such a huge debt, did you ever think about this day? Or... are you taking advantage of my love for you and playing with me?"

His last words were spoken with a heavier tone and a cold look.

Lin Man smiled, and she looked at Pei Yan calmly, "I just want to ask you one question, did you deliberately plot against Ji Shi and frame me for this money?"

Pei Yan seemed tired, and didn't seem to want to argue with Lin Man about this issue at all, "Does it still matter? Miss Lin came here today, are you planning to pay back the money, or are you planning to default on the debt?"

Lin Man was about to speak when Pei Yan said coldly, "If Miss Lin really intends to gamble her entire reputation and default on her debt, then I can only be responsible to Pei's shareholders and send you to court."

Pei Yan's voice was cold, revealing a businesslike attitude.

The door was open, and there was a suffocating feeling of oppression in the room.

Lin Man took a deep breath and said, "I don't mean to default on my debt, but I can't do the solution you proposed."

Asking her to work for Pei Yan would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

"I have come up with a plan that can pay back Pei's money in a short period of time, which is to let Ji's Group go bankrupt and reorganize."

"My company will take the lead and take over the business of both companies. This is the fastest way to pay off the debt."

How long does it take for a person to pay back the money?

Pei Yan's intention is to tie her up here?

“Bankruptcy reorganization?”

Pei Yan thought for a moment and suddenly laughed.

There was a rare glimmer of admiration for Lin Man in his eyes, but it was fleeting.

"Bring the plan here for me to see."

Lin Man tightened her fingers that were hanging on both sides, as if she didn't expect Pei Yan to ask for it right then and there. Her voice unconsciously became weak, "I'll go back and prepare tonight."

"Are you kidding me?"

Pei Yan's face darkened. Lin Man couldn't stand his rapid change of expression. "Give me one night."

In the end, Pei Yan just looked at her and said nothing more.

Walking out of the Pei Building, Lin Man let out a long breath.

She went to another law firm, but just as she explained her purpose, the person who had originally received her warmly suddenly changed his expression and returned all the information she had given her.

"Ms. Lin, I'm really sorry, we can't do your project."

Before Lin Man could ask any more questions, she was pushed out by the front desk.

After repeating this several times, Lin Man realized that something was wrong.

But the phone rang at this moment, making Lin Man upset, "Hello?"

"Manman! Are you free? Come to my house. The company has received a subpoena."

Lin Man clutched the information in her hand and said, "I'll be right back."

Inside the house, Xiaojun was running around anxiously.

"No, I have to call Zhao Yao over. We have strength in numbers, and we can work together to overcome this difficulty!"

As Xiaojun was about to take out her phone, Lin Man quickly stopped her, "He is filming, don't disturb him." As she spoke, Lin Man tore open the document in front of Xiaojun, "It's useless for anyone to come, this is a lawsuit in the name of Pei Group."

I guess it was because Pei Yan had been suppressing it in the past.

But recently, seeing that she was not behaving well, he refused to put pressure on her. Either he wanted to warn her to behave herself, or he didn't want her to interfere in Ji Ze's affairs, so he found something for her to do.

Lin Man didn't know the specific reason, but it couldn't be that he was torturing her on purpose, right?

Early morning, rest at sunset.

Xiaojun came out yawning, "Manman, why haven't you slept yet?"

She checked the time. "You've been locking yourself in your room since you came back. What happened? We agreed that you can't hide anything from me. We must share the joys and sorrows together..."

After that, the room was silent.

Lin Man looked up and found that Xiaojun had fallen asleep while standing.

"..."

The next day.

Lin Man went to Pei's with a plan that she had prepared overnight.

She looked at her watch. She never expected the traffic to be so congested.

"Master, can you be faster?"

"Just arrived in Hai City?" The master glanced at her, "Are you in a hurry to go to work?"

He pointed to the subway station next to him and stopped charging. "Are you going to work at Pei's? First day of work? Go to Line 2 on the roadside and take the subway. It's your first day at work, leave a good impression on your boss."

"..."

Lin Man took the subway and ran all the way to Pei's, but was stopped outside the door by the front desk. "Boss Pei has already left."

"what?"

Lin Man looked at the time and took a few deep breaths.

Finally, she took her documents to the coffee shop next door and made some revisions.

On the phone, "The number you dialed is currently busy."

She called Pei Yan many times, but no one answered.

Lin Man was so sleepy that she kept dozing off. Just as the sun was about to set, a familiar car slowly stopped in front of the entrance of Pei’s Building.

Lin Man saw Pei Yan getting out of the car and hurried over.

"Pei Yan!"

She suddenly shouted, startling Zheng Xu who had just opened the car door and got out. He touched his chest and forced a smile, "Sister-in-law, what's the hurry that you're looking for Ah Yan for? You scared me."

He looked terrified.

Pei Yan squinted his eyes, raised his hand and looked at the time, "You are late."

Lin Man had been tormented for the whole day. When she heard Pei Yan's voice, she suddenly became angry, but she suppressed it forcefully. "I know there are too many cars in the morning. I have tried my best to rush this way."

As she spoke, Lin Man handed the written document to Pei Yan, but he did not take it.

His dark eyes swept down, and his tone was cool, "So, what time did we agree on?"

Lin Man listened to Pei Yan's voice, secretly cursing him as a plague god in her heart, but her face remained calm, trying to control herself, "It was my fault, I admit it, but I was only one minute late."

"Besides, you clearly knew that I was not familiar with the traffic conditions in Tiangang Bay, but you still agreed to a time during the morning rush hour."

Lin Man knew that there would be a lot of traffic during the morning rush hour. She knew that she was not familiar with the traffic conditions here, so she took a taxi and arrived an hour early.

But she didn't expect that the road conditions in Tiangang Bay would be so bad.

The implication is that he was making things difficult on purpose.

Zheng Xu stood aside, feeling the low pressure, and smiled to smooth things over, "Sister-in-law, what are you going to do? Are you going to discuss cooperation with A Yan? That would be terrible for you, A Yan hates people who are not punctual the most!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a chill came over him, and Zheng Xu suddenly shut up.

Pei Yan's dark eyes swept over the person in front of him.

Finally, he took the document from her.

Zheng Xu's eyes widened, "A Yan! You can't be so partial to one and treat the other unfairly. Before... um!"

His mouth was covered, and Han Ming said, "Go upstairs first."

"..."

Without waiting for Lin Man to breathe a sigh of relief, she watched Pei Yan's brows become more and more furrowed.

He only stayed in one place for a moment, and when he glanced at other places, he read ten lines at a glance.

After a moment, he threw the document back and said, "No."

"No?" Lin Man looked at the rejected document. "If there's anything wrong, I can go back and revise it."

"You have no chance. As for what's wrong? Am I your employee? Do I need to answer for you?"

"Pei..."

Without waiting for Lin Man to speak, he went upstairs.

She spent the whole night working on the plan, but he rejected it in just one minute.

Lin Man was a little disheveled standing in the wind. She knew that Pei Yan would not make things difficult for her if it was beneficial to Pei's company, so he was really dissatisfied with her restructuring plan.

"Madam, Mr. Pei asked you to come to the company at 7 o'clock tomorrow."

Han Ming's voice came so quickly that Lin Man had not yet accepted the fact that she was really going to work for Pei Yan.

"Don't Pei's employees go to work at nine o'clock?"

"That's an ordinary employee. Mr. Pei's secretary is seven o'clock."

Lin Man was stunned, "Pei Yan asked me to be his secretary?"

Why doesn't he die?

Lin Man breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll find another way to deal with the money. If he refuses to restructure, I'll find other investments. Since I'm the one who saved Ji Ze's company, I'll take the responsibility."

Lin Man said this with gritted teeth. She would never have thought that she was so strong-willed.

She said so casually that she would take on a debt of 20 billion?

Shouldn't the normal idea be to delay time on the surface and run away early in secret?

But Linman thought of many solutions, but he never thought of running away.

The next day, she revised her plan and visited many companies.

That night, Pei Yan appeared downstairs of her house.

The familiar black Maybach stopped in front of him, and the window rolled down slowly. "You don't want to be a secretary, you want to be my secret lover?"

The warm and cool voice, mixed with some uncomfortable words, instantly made Lin Man's originally calm emotions surge with anger!

"You deserve it too!"

"One million a month, do you want to?"

Pei Yan sat in the car, his eyes were pure black, making people feel unfathomable.

"What do you mean?"

Lin Man was unsure of Pei Yan's attitude.

"Literally."

Lin Man looked at Pei Yan seriously. He put one arm on the car window and lit a cigarette between his fingers.

His frank words made Lin Man feel relieved. She looked at him tentatively, "Do you want me to be your secretary, or..."

"It's up to you."

Before she finished her words, Pei Yan spoke.

"let me consider it."

Pei Yan threw a document to her and said, "Report to the Human Resources Department at 7 o'clock tomorrow."

The vehicle leaves.

Han Ming lowered his head, hiding the shame in his eyes, "It's my fault that I didn't negotiate well. I'm sorry that you have to go again after the meeting."

Pei Yan looked at the computer in front of him, seemingly unconcerned, "It's okay, I knew you couldn't do it."

That woman is like a spring. Either you press her down with enough force so that she can never get up again, or you push her to the point of desperate measures.

Han Ming was surprised, "Then why do you still want to..."

Why should he do it?

Pei Yan closed his computer, and the dim light in front of him disappeared instantly. "If I don't give her some hope and bait, how can she take the bait?"

Han Ming's eyes changed and he immediately understood.

Even if there is no problem with the madam's business plan, President Pei will not let the dead Ji Group revive, so... the gimmick of bankruptcy and reorganization has been hope and bait from the beginning.

-

Pei Yan didn't want Lin Man to focus on any man other than him, so he insisted on finding something for her to do.

At this moment, Zhao Yao also knew about the debt.

Lin Man glanced at Xiaojun and saw her shrinking behind Zhao Yao. She said helplessly, "I appreciate your kindness, but you should take the money back. After all, I am your boss in name only. How can I ask you to pay for work?"

As the last person to know, Zhao Yao took the initiative to sit down next to Lin Man and forcefully stuffed his passbook into her pocket. "You also said it was nominal, but I'm very confused. Mr. Pei didn't mention this money when Ji's went bankrupt. Why did you mention it at this juncture?"

"This is not a small amount of money. Mr. Pei probably knew from the beginning that you couldn't pay it back, but if that's the case, why would he still ask you for it?"

Zhao Yao is much calmer than before and sees things more clearly than Xiaojun.

But Lin Man didn't know how to answer. Should she say that she suddenly went crazy and out of control because Pei Yan saw the message in her phone that she was privately looking for Ji Ze?

Lin Man finally did not accept Zhao Yao's passbook.

After he left, Xiaojun looked at the contract and exclaimed, "One million a month! Is Mr. Pei crazy? What on earth does he want to do?"

Lin Man had a headache because of the noise. Xiaojun's voice suddenly lowered, "Manman, I have a hunch that President Pei didn't mean to torture you, but he wanted to control you to stay by his side. He is crazy and paranoid about your relationship with President Ji!"

"probably."

Lin Man shrugged.

Who knows? After all, Pei Yan has been crazy for a long time.

"But Manman, do you really want to go? It's not that you don't want to see President Pei. If you really go, you will have to spend every day with President Pei." She stopped talking halfway and said, "I understand! Could it be that he just wants to spend every day with you and cultivate feelings?"

Lin Man was flipping through her phone, looking at the clues about Ji Ze, and ignored Xiaojun who was full of imagination. How could such a strong man like Pei Yan still want to develop feelings with her?

What a joke.

"I'll go starting tomorrow, you take care of the company."

Lin Man originally didn't plan to go. Pei Yan gave her the position of secretary, and she could also take this opportunity to investigate the cause of Ji Ze's plane crash.

Xiaojun looked at Lin Man's expression and hurriedly said, "Manman! You are not going to care about Mr. Ji's affairs anymore, are you? Listen to my advice. Whether Mr. Ji is alive or dead, you should stop caring about him."

"Look, when we were at Haicheng Manor before, President Pei didn't force you like this. But now he's obviously keeping you under his watch. The more you rebel against him, the tighter he'll tie you up. This won't do you any good."

Lin Man closed the notebook and rubbed his eyes. "I know, but I'm afraid that Ji Ze was assassinated by someone, or he is really trapped somewhere and can't come back. What if I'm the only one who needs his strength?"

"I will do it quietly. I have to pay the money myself, and it's what I should do. But I have my personal freedom. I can find whoever I want. Pei Yan has no right to restrict me."
