it's okay if you're stupid

Internally, only Xie Zhi and Song Dan knew about Pei Xianyi's illness. Although Dong Wen, the driver and Xiao D knew about it, they didn't understand the specific situation. May betray him.

Externally, it was the attending doctors and nurses in the private hospital who knew—at first, they didn't expect that Pei Xianyi would change when he opened his eyes, and the medical staff arranged as usual, but afterward, they realized something was wrong, so Song Dan urgently blocked the news and removed most of the people.

But now is not the time to pursue this.

Indifferent and sharp questioning voices surged in, like a sudden and violent snowstorm outside the window, sweeping in the cold wind one after another, all concentrated on Pei Xianyi.

At the beginning, Xie's father and mother were reluctant to let Xie Zhi be contaminated by the ruthlessness and terror of the shopping malls. Xie Zhi was also not interested in doing business and devoted himself to pursuing his dream.

He had only seen the beautiful scenery that Pei Xianyi calmly presented before him, tall and majestic like the statues of Greek gods, invulnerable to swords and guns, invulnerable to all poisons, seemingly omnipotent and invincible.

But he never knew that the fights in it were more straightforward and cruel than the intrigues he had seen in the entertainment circle.

He watched coldly in the circle, but at this moment, there was a sudden fire in his heart, which made him have a splitting headache.

However, as the center of the fire, Pei Xianyi lazily lowered his eyes, staring at a report in front of him, pretending he didn't hear it.

Even sensitive to Xie Zhi's emotions, he raised his head and bent the corners of his eyes at him, not obvious, but very reassuring.

Xie Zhi calm down.

Irritability is one of the most useless and weak things. To help Pei Xianyi, he must maintain emotional stability and cooperate at any time.

Pei Xianyi was too calm and complacent, the shareholders were all too familiar with that angry look of not looking straight at others, and casually slouching.

The sharp-faced man who is the most aggressive and is called Mr. Chen by others sneered slightly: "Don't be fooled, I remind everyone that Mr. Pei's transfer contract was signed in September. At that time, he was still recuperating. Assistant Song stopped him It really makes people have to care about all the people who want to visit."

"Well, if Mr. Pei's mental state at that time was true...then Assistant Song who coaxed him to sign the transfer contract, and this Mr. Xie..."

"The group supports thousands of people and countless families. If the decision maker is mentally unstable...I will apply to the board of directors to intervene in the judgment."

"Are you kidding, the CEO must not be a psychopath! There is no risk at all! I admit that Mr. Pei's ability is excellent, but now..."

"May I ask Mr. Pei if he can prove that he has no problem?"

"Why are you panicking? It's just some people's one-sided words, and you think it's true?"

"It disappeared for four whole months!"

"I would like to remind everyone that Mr. Pei has been processing documents. After recovering a bit, the video conference will also be held as usual."

"Didn't the scandal about Mr. Pei on the set just come a few days ago..."

"That doesn't mean that the CEO is incompetent. The first thing he did after he recovered from his illness was to go to the set to make troubles instead of going back to the company!"

……

There was a lot of noise below, originally it was just a simple doubt, but it gradually became angry with friction.Unmoved, Pei Xianyi read the report and signed it slowly.

His sitting posture was very loose, but when he raised his head, his eyes were suddenly sharp, and his voice was not loud, but it covered all the noise: "Have you finished?"

Quiet all around.

Pei Xianyi was still sitting very undignified, resting her elbows on the table, resting her chin on her palm, and tapping her temple with the index finger of her left hand: "I'm curious, do you think I look so crazy?"

Everyone: "..."

Pei Xianyi: "Or let's play bridge on the spot, and everyone will talk while playing?"

The expressions of those who stirred up the muddy water froze, they looked at each other suspiciously, and cautiously withdrew their presumptuous attitude.

Facing the probing gazes from all directions, Pei Xianyi smiled suddenly: "The farce should be over. Before the meeting officially starts, I would like to apologize to all shareholders."

"...Hey, it's nothing." Seeing that he looked normal, most of the doubts in the hearts of other shareholders disappeared, and they tried around the bush, "We are worried about President Pei and want to go and have a look, but Assistant Song refuses to let him, isn't it? , we just thought about it a little more."

Xie Zhi said lightly: "The doctor ordered Mr. Pei to rest. I asked Assistant Song to stop him."

He had been sitting without saying a word, and when he spoke suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to him.

Xie Zhibo raised his eyes calmly, completely ignoring those unfriendly scrutiny and visits: "I am more worried about my husband's health than letting my husband drag his sick body to see people. I am really sorry for making everyone worry."

"As for the rumors of the past few days..." Xie Zhi's lips suddenly revealed a faint smile, imitating Pei Lianyi's posture, leaning slightly on the back of the chair, fingers crossed, " That movie was invested by my husband, he was still recovering from his illness, we haven’t seen each other for a long time, so it’s okay to come to visit the set. Isn’t it strange?”

His voice is clear and cold, and his speaking rhythm is very steady, unhurried, no matter what he is saying, it makes people feel taken for granted.

Apart from the lines, it was the first time Pei Xianyi saw Xie Zhi say so many words in front of people.

He is defending me.

This was Pei Xianyi's first thought.

He also called me my husband.

Sitting in front of dozens of wolf-like shareholders, Pei Xianyi's fingers holding the document trembled imperceptibly, and it took a lot of hard work to suppress the surging heart in his chest.Like fruit wine in the mouth, with a sweet aftertaste, the corners of his mouth almost couldn't help curling up, his eyes were full of smiles, staring at Xie Zhi's indifferent profile, his teeth and claws in his heart, thinking: If you say one more word, I can't help it in public I kiss you.

Fortunately, Xie Zhi didn't talk much, his eyelids twitched, he bowed slightly, and stopped talking.

Everyone froze for a moment, affected by that voice, walked down the steps, boasted a few words with a dry smile, "The relationship between the couple is so good", and cursed in their hearts.

Pei Xianyi pinched herself secretly, withdrew her turbulent mood, turned the topic to company affairs, and talked freely.

Only at certain times, he would meet Xie Zhi's unblinking eyes.

In the past, he had been looking at Xie Zhi, waiting for Xie Zhi to turn his head occasionally, pretending to meet his gaze inadvertently.

Now he no longer has to scratch his head to find the right time, those silent and focused gazes now have a response.

Pei Xianyi's behavior was too normal, even very superior.

For the time being, no one dared to question Pei Xianyi's brain. The topic turned to the normal internal affairs of the company. Pei Xianyi answered fluently, showing with his attitude that he really has not been idle for the past few months. He has been working with illness, but just changed his office. place.

Because of Pei Xianyi's absence, the meeting lasted seven or eight hours.When the meeting was over, the sky was dark and the street lights downstairs were gradually turned on. The shareholders who had been in the meeting all day were exhausted, so what should they do?

Several shareholders came up to talk to Pei Xianyi, and they glanced at Xie Zhi reservedly, expressing that they needed a private space.

Song Dan gave Xie Zhi a look, indicating that he didn't have to worry, he was one of his own: "Mr. Pei, we'll wait for you in your office."

Pei Xianyi blinked her left eye at Xie Zhi: "Wait for me to pick you up."

Xie Zhi nodded, exited the conference room with Song Dan, and took the elevator to Pei Xianyi's independent office.

"What's with the equity transfer contract?" Xie Zhi frowned after finally having some private space in the elevator, "September 25? The day Mr. Pei's cousin got married?"

Song Dan showed a meaningful smile: "Do you still remember the 'Parents Signature'?"

Xie Zhi remembered.

On the way to the wedding banquet hotel, Song Dan checked Pei Xianyi's recitation, and as if he hadn't enjoyed it afterwards, he stuffed the large stack of papers into his hand again and asked him to "Parent's signature" in the lower right corner.

He didn't care much, and signed his name without any hassle.

The elevator dinged and reached the floor.

Song Dan led the way, observing his expression, and explained: "Mr. Pei prepared that document a long time ago, but he hesitated to give it to you because he was afraid that you might misunderstand it. I think it might be useful. You signed it."

Xie Zhi: "..."

The electronic door of the office requires a password. The two walked closer. Song Dan held the frame of the glasses and suddenly asked maliciously, "What do you think is the password Mr. Pei set?"

Xie Zhi's face was paralyzed: "Sorry, I don't want to guess after seeing your expression."

"I'll give you a chance." Song Dan said, "Sub-question."

Xie Zhi was silent for a while, then raised his hand to enter his birthday—with a beep, the verification was correct, and the combination lock was opened.

Xie Zhi closed his eyes hard, stood in front of the door for a few seconds, and then walked into the office side by side with Song Dan: "How many things... I don't know?"

The sky is at the junction of black and gray, chaotic and unclear.The office is on a high floor, with glass walls for the sake of openness. A little light from the sky pours down, exuding a chill that makes one's bones chill. Walking to the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can clearly see the small fragments of the city, ups and downs. Desolate and fuzzy in the fine frost and snow.

The flow of people on Zhongyang Street is endless, and there is a lot of traffic.If it is too far from the ground, it will be even colder if you stand on a high place.

Song Dan replied: "A lot." He added with a smile, "Mr. Pei is also a blessing in disguise."

"Who else knows but you?"

"Except for me and little D, few people know what Mr. Pei thinks about you these years. I can guess it myself."

Xie Zhi glanced at him, but the question he asked had nothing to do with what he said before: "Why are you so..."

It was difficult for him to find a precise adjective for a while, but Song Dan understood what he was going to ask: "Why are you so 'loyal' to Mr. Pei?"

Xie Zhi: "Because of your love for money, this word is not suitable for you."

"..." Song Dan gave him a dissatisfied look, slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag, and raised his hand, "Do you mind?"

Xie Zhi shook his head.

Song Dan lit a cigarette, squinted his eyes and took a puff. The smoke he exhaled slowly filled the air, and his expression became blurred: "I'm so familiar, let's tell a vulgar story. Once upon a time, there was a poor child from a poor family who brought He went to school with the tuition money he borrowed at home, but was robbed by a nearby gangster on the way, and when he wanted to go all out, a guy who was worse than a gangster came and beat them up and got his tuition back."

His expression was light: "Without that tuition fee, maybe I wouldn't even be able to pass the college entrance examination. Don't you wonder why I love money so much? I'm afraid of being poor."

After a pause, Song Dan flicked the cigarette ash skillfully. Usually a gentle person, he smoked like a gentle beast: "Mr. Pei has helped many people. I don't remember those small favors, but I do. So after graduation, listen to He said he was looking for an assistant, so he came."

Xie Zhi thought about it seriously for a while: "In this case, the mental damage fee and labor service fee..."

Song Dan crushed out the cigarette butt, turned his face mercilessly: "Don't talk about it."

The two quieted down, Xie Zhi leaned against the floor-to-ceiling windows, and looked at the overly large office.

Contrary to Pei Kongque, the decoration of this office is simple and a bit cold. In the whole office, the most gorgeous thing is probably the electronic office desk with several computers on it.

Imagining the scene of Pei Xianyi working here, Xie Zhi smiled shallowly, and then asked: "Mr. Pei helped those little stars, you also know?"

Song Dan nodded.

"why did not you tell me?"

"Mr. Pei forbids me to disclose anything to you, otherwise wages will be deducted."

Maybe he felt that he was not very kind, Song Dan coughed lightly, and explained a little, "At that time he knew that you would not care about these rumors at all, because you didn't like him, and even had a "lover" because of him. A sense of security, and those rumors can give you some protection."

The words from the previous paragraph poured into my heart, brewing an indescribable sourness, my heart shrank slightly as if it was burned by something.Xie Zhi chewed on this sentence, and asked, "Protection?"

"As you can see today, the factional struggle within the group is just the tip of the iceberg, and there are still many real disputes." Song Dan's expression was slightly serious, "Mr. Pei is standing on a high place, and many people are staring at him. He can't be in those You showed your weakness in front of people, but you were in a bad state at that time, and he wanted to protect you, but he couldn't let those people notice you, so he just let the rumors flow and distracted them."

The reality is not a third-rate domineering president's novel, everyone has concerns, and the more heartless people seem, the more likely they think.

The lights in the office were not turned on, and the sky was getting darker and darker. Light and shadows in the distance would come in from time to time, illuminating the faces of the two people in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows like lightning, and then disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Song Dan pretended not to see Xie Zhi's red eye circles, the tips of his ears moved slightly, turned around and bowed lightly: "Mr. Pei."

When Xie Zhi heard the voice, he didn't turn his head, turned his back to Pei Xianyi, and said nothing.

Song Dan left the office in a timely manner, and when he passed by Pei Xianyi, he kindly reminded: "It is recommended that you do not turn on the light."

Pei Xianyi's fingertips moved over the light switch for a moment, then retracted it, and gently closed the door.

The room was dark, Xie Zhi was leaning against the desk, the lines of his sideways were thin and beautiful, light and shadow occasionally swayed in, and walked past him, as if he was immersed in the spotlight many years ago, and then fell into the deep darkness in an instant.

That figure looked... very lonely.

Pei Xianyi was flustered beyond words, Xie Zhi looked strong and fragile, as if he had returned to four years ago, he hesitated to ask the driver to drive with him all the way, finally made up his mind to stop in front of him, and gave a bad excuse , when carefully taking him away, he didn't dare to breathe too hard, and had to pretend to be comfortable.

He walked up to him quickly, but hesitated a little: "I know, what's the matter?"

Xie Zhi raised his head slowly, his usually breezy face was blank, with a thin layer of tears floating in his eyes.

He looked at Pei Xianyi and didn't know what to say.

Mr. Pei, who seems to be wandering, has been protecting him gently with all his strength, like a spring breeze and a drizzle.

This love is so deep and heavy even if it is said by others.

The calm and composure in the conference room just now was gone, and Pei Xianyi hurriedly tried to wipe Xie Zhi's tears away: "What did Song Dan say? Don't believe him! He is a big pig! Dry!"

Xie Zhi stared at him with a strange gaze for a while, opened his arms, and said seriously: "Hug."

Pei Xianyi was stunned for a moment, then leaned down according to his words, and put his arms around his waist and back tenderly: "...you have always flattered me recently."

"Shhh," Xie Zhi closed his eyes and rested his head on his shoulder. Hearing this, his heart ached and his voice was hoarse, "Xieyi, don't say such things."

This was the first time Xie Zhi called him by his first name without his last name.

Pei Xianyi hugged his arm a little harder, and the spirit that had been tense for a day was relieved, and she was relieved to draw strength in this soft embrace.

He tilted his head, gently rubbed the top of Xie Zhi's hair with the tip of his high nose, and complained in a low voice: "Those bad guys are so annoying, I don't like dealing with them."

Xie Zhi followed his back, and nodded: "Very annoying, bad guy."

Pei Xianyi hugged him for a while, with a smile in her eyes: "Let's go home, baby."

The author has something to say: I wrote [-] and deleted [-]. Looking at the number of words, I should be able to see that I don’t want to stand on my head. Don’t worry, there will be~~ Just fine!)

In the next chapter, the two chapters will be combined into one, and Pei Bao will recover, hehe!
