"That brat is so lucky. Mom hasn't cooked chicken in ten years, but the aroma and taste are still as good as ever."

If she hadn't wanted to create an opportunity for her son, she wouldn't have stewed the chicken!

Pei's mother was immersed in her own thoughts and couldn't extricate herself. Lin Man immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It would be fine if it wasn't for her to drink, as she hadn't digested the breakfast she had eaten in the morning yet.

"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely accomplish my mission!"

Lin Man didn't hesitate for a moment and rushed out of the house holding the thermos box in her arms. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, Pei's mother would serve her a bowl of chicken soup from the kitchen.

Sky Harbor

After Lin Man parked the car, she picked up her bag and prepared to take the elevator upstairs.

But she was suddenly stopped by someone, "Excuse me, Miss, do you have an appointment?"

Lin Man paused with her hand holding the thermos box. She seldom came to the company. If Pei's mother hadn't asked her to deliver the chicken soup today, she would not have come.

Pei Yan didn't like her coming before, and now she doesn't want to come.

Lin Man shook her head. "No, I'm the wife of your CEO Pei. I'm here to bring him some soup."

Lin Man raised the thermal box in her hand.

The corners of the receptionist's smile were a little stiff.

I was thinking to myself, this is already the third person this month who said she was Mrs. Pei and wanted to meet Mr. Pei.

He smiled helplessly and said, "Sorry ma'am, you can't go upstairs without an appointment. Please understand."

After saying that, the receptionist continued to busy herself with her work with a friendly attitude. She didn't show contempt or ridicule, nor did she drive anyone away. She just left Lin Man there.

Her attitude was more humble than that of the receptionist at Ji's Company. Lin Man felt that after going through so many hardships, even her temper had been smoothed out. Although they were both obstructing and secretly mocking each other in their hearts, she could still tell the difference between the two.

Lin Man knew that this was the company's rule and didn't want to make things difficult for the workers, so she nodded, took out her cell phone and called Pei Yan, asking him to send someone down to get the chicken soup so that she could find a place to relax.

At this moment, a petite woman suddenly rushed in, ran past Lin Man, ran towards the elevator and was about to go upstairs, but was stopped by the receptionist.

"Ma'am, do you have an appointment?"

The receptionist still politely repeated what she had just said to Lin Man.

The girl looked anxious. "What do you mean by appointment or not? It's already so late! And you're still talking nonsense like that. How can you be so tactless as a receptionist? Can't you see that I'm in a hurry to see Mr. Pei? If things get delayed, can you bear the responsibility?"

As soon as the woman spoke, the receptionist frowned slightly, but still said respectfully: "Sorry, ma'am, the company has a rule that you cannot go upstairs without an appointment. Please understand."

The chicken soup was a bit heavy, and one of her hands felt sore. Lin Man changed her hand to hold it. No one answered the call to Pei Yan, so she called He Sheng, but the call was still busy.

Lin Man put down the phone and looked over there. The woman was making a lot of noise!

She showed her work badge, pointed at the receptionist and yelled, "Rules are dead, are you dead too? Can't you see Miss Gan's name is on my work ID? I'm telling you, Miss Gan is in trouble on the set, and she has something urgent to discuss with President Pei. If you're late, you'll all have to pack up and leave!"

Lin Man found the woman's arrogant tone a little funny. She told them to pack up and leave. She was so arrogant. Even a decent lady like her wouldn't dare to say that.

Just when Lin Man thought that the receptionist would continue to stop the woman as she had stopped her, she did not expect the situation to change. After carefully checking the woman's work ID, the receptionist quickly let her go and personally sent the woman to the elevator. After swiping the elevator card for her, she spoke apologetically.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't realize you were a staff member working for Miss Gan. Please take the emergency elevator upstairs. I've already swiped your card for the 23rd floor. When you open the elevator, you'll find President Pei's office on the right."

The woman snorted lightly, said nothing more, and took the elevator upstairs.

Lin Man was stunned. She was speechless and wanted to turn around and leave, but looking at the chicken soup in her hand, which was stewed by Pei's mother, she really couldn't throw a mother's longing for her son into the trash can.

After thinking for a moment, she forced herself to suppress the urge to turn around and leave, and called Ji Ze.

When I met him in the morning, his assistant said he had another acquisition meeting and wondered if it had ended yet.

Ji Ze's phone was connected after just two rings.

Lin Man cautiously asked softly, "Mr. Ji?"

"Yeah." Ji Ze responded lightly, and the sound of work reports continued to come from the other end of the phone.

Lin Man looked at the chicken soup in her hand and felt a little disappointed. Chicken soup, don’t blame me if you waste it today.

"Boss Ji, I'm in some trouble, can you please..."

Before Lin Man finished speaking, Ji Ze paused while flipping through the book, moved his lips, and asked, "Where is it?"

Lin Man's hands felt a little sore as she held the chicken soup, but after looking around, she found no place to store it.

"At the entrance of... Pei Group."

Lin Man's words sounded a little hollow. Ji Ze was busy, and she was not sure whether he would leave the acquisition meeting and rush over because of her little matter.

Ji Ze quickly signed his name on the acquisition agreement.

He put down the pen and said in a low voice, "Wait for me," then hung up the phone.

Lin Man felt a little tired from standing, so she lowered her head and moved her ankles. The next second, she saw Ji Ze appear at the door. The receptionist hurriedly came up to greet him respectfully.

Ji Ze, who was always good-tempered, was uncharacteristically sullen, "Mrs. Pei, you dare to stop me?"

The receptionist panicked, her eyes swept over Lin Man in panic, then looked at Ji Ze, trembling a little, and apologized repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, I..."

"Why are you apologizing to me? I'm Mrs. Pei?"

This was the first time Lin Man saw Ji Ze speak harshly to a woman.

The receptionist paused, then quickly turned around and bowed to Lin Man, apologizing non-stop, "I'm sorry, Madam Pei, I really didn't know what you looked like, so I mistakenly stopped you. I should have called the secretary's office to verify, but today happened to be the regular meeting of the head office, and everyone in the secretary's department would attend, so..."

"I'm so sorry, Madam Pei. I'm really sorry. Please forgive me. I promise there won't be a next time!"

The receptionist was in a panic. If she lost this respectable and high-paying job in Hai City, she would be left with nothing. She secretly sighed in her heart that she was unlucky. She really didn't know Mrs. Pei.

Lin Man looked at the woman in front of her who was about to cry and said softly, "Okay, I don't blame you. Take me up quickly."

Lin Man had been busy all day, and just wanted to quickly give the chicken soup to Pei Yan and leave. If this chicken soup was not made by Pei's mother, she would have thrown it into the trash can long ago.

"Yes, please go this way."

Lin Man thanked Ji Ze and went upstairs.

As soon as she walked out of the elevator, she saw that the assistant who went upstairs before her was stopped outside the door. She was so anxious that she was running around. When she saw Lin Man coming up, there was a strange look in her eyes.

Lin Man wanted to find a stool to sit down, and then she saw He Sheng walking out of the conference room first. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw Lin Man. After all, they had been married for more than a year, and this was the first time Lin Man appeared in the company.

He Sheng quickly took the insulated box from Lin Man and said respectfully, "Madam, President Pei is still in a meeting. You can go to President Pei's office first. The meeting should be over soon."
