She picked up the call in surprise. Logically speaking, it was not time yet, so she should not be here to rush her.

Miss Pei Pei, Im your Secretary, Ailin. CEO Ji asked me to give you a call and ask if you need any help with your gown or makeup. Aileen said in a hurry.

PEI GEs eyes dimmed. So, this was the reason.

However, she thought about it carefully and immediately refused,Ah? Theres no need for all this. Aileen, help me thank CEO Ji. Ive already prepared everything and should be arriving soon.

Aileen asked again to confirm,really? Sister Pei Pei, Are you sure? Oh, right, you dont know yet, but in order to make this freshmen welcoming party more special, CEO Ji has already agreed to sister Yinas suggestion to change this party into a masked ball, so you have to remember to wear a special mask!

PEI GE was truly shocked this time. How could a welcome party cause so much trouble? also, was Liu Lina planning to use this event to pull some tricks?

A hint of dissatisfaction appeared in his eyes, and he reached out his hand to signal for Wen Xin to stop her daze. He adjusted his breathing and slowly asked,Aileen, why are there so many details about a welcome party? Im almost done with my preparations, but the partys format suddenly changed. How can I Always Aileen, can I PEI GE made up her mind and decided not to attend the party. She did not really like those gaudy events.

Alas, Aileen seemed to have sensed her thoughts through the radio and immediately interrupted her.No! Sister Pei Pei, you cant do this! CEO Ji even specifically instructed that if you have any problems with your makeup or costume, he must immediately help you solve them. Hes not going to allow the three newbies to have any reason or excuse to not attend this Gala!

Hearing the determination in her voice, PEI GE sighed, knowing that Ji Ziming would not let her be absent this time.

Alright, Aileen, he replied, annoyed.I got it. Dont worry, Ill be there on time.

Aileen then said in a relieved tone,Yes, sister Pei Pei, thats right! Dont make things difficult for me. You know CEO Jis temper; if any of you three dont show up, Ill definitely pack my bags and leave!

She was well aware of Ji Zimings temper and knew that he was a man of his word. If his cold eyes could kill, his men would have died a thousand times over.

So, he calmed down and comforted Irene on the other end of the phone,MHM. I wont get involved. I know what Im doing. Just tell CEO Ji that I wont be absent.

Hearing this, Aileen felt as if she had taken a calming pill. She then hung up the phone with relief.

Sister Peipei, how is it? Wen Xin hurriedly asked.

She plopped back to her seat and mumbled,What else can I do? She could only bite the bullet and go, for Ji Ziming had already said that she could not be absent no matter what. But

But what? The eyebrow pencil in Wen Xins hand suddenly froze in mid-air.

PEI GE turned to Wen Xin with eyes full of doubt.Ji Zimings Secretary just called to tell me that the freshmen welcoming party has become a masked ball. He told me to wear a special mask in addition to bringing a male companion. This way, Ning Yuan, you

PEI GE knew that Cheng Ningyuan was not the kind of person who liked to show off. Previously, he had no choice but to bring him along as a male companion, which was already a bit forced. Now, he was even asking him to wear those gaudy masks; the man would probably find it hard to accept.

Wen Xin followed PEI GEs gaze and looked at Cheng Ningyuan. The latter was calm and expressionless when he heard this.

The room fell into a dead silence.

Wen Xin pursed her lips and subconsciously stroked her chin with one hand, like a student seriously thinking about an algebraic problem.

In her opinion, PEI GE naturally wanted to make good use of this welcome party and interact with Ji Ziming and the rest of the Ji group. Hence, she put down the eyebrow pencil in her hand and pulled Cheng ning, who was standing not far away, to her side.Cheng Ningyuan, look at how glorious sister Pei Pei is tonight. If you dont go, shell probably have a hard time dealing with Ji Ziming, let alone meeting some lechers. So, why dont you just bear with it

Wen Xin let go of Cheng Ningyuans hand, then stuck out a pinky finger on each hand and drew circles on her chest. Her eyes even rolled to the side, looking very sly.

Of course, Cheng Ningyuan knew that he was going to be PEI GEs male companion tonight, whether it was a normal party or a masked party. It was just that he, a young monk from the mountains, had never been to such a brightly lit place with people mixed in, so he was not used to it and was just giving her a psychological hint.

However, when he saw Wen Xins worried expression, he suddenly wanted to tease her, so he said coldly,Pei PEIs style

Wen Xin thought that Cheng Ningyuan was going to give her some suggestions, so she immediately raised her eyebrows and asked,Eh? Whats wrong with sister Pei PEIs style? Is there anything that doesnt match?

Cheng Ningyuan licked his lips, his eyes full of disdain, and said,The style that Wenxin gave you was really ugly

PEI GE initially thought that Cheng Ningyuan was going to say that he did not want to attend the party, but she really did not expect him to criticize Wen Xins style!

Of course, PEI GE was not the only one who was surprised. Wen Xinyuans eyes widened in shock as she stared at Cheng Ningyuan with puffed-up cheeks.Cheng Ningyuan, what did you just say? Ill allow you to recall and say it again! After saying that, he pointed at Cheng Ningyuan with a trembling finger. The anger in his eyes seemed to want to tear Cheng Ningyuans hand apart.

This criticism was a huge blow to Wen Xin. She had never felt so humiliated before. Even when she had been working for Liu Lina, she had never been slandered like this! Moreover, she had always thought that the styling she did for Liu Lina was quite successful.

Seeing Wen Xins fl.u.s.tered and exasperated look, Cheng Ningyuans heart seemed to ripple, but his face remained calm and collected, and the hint of amus.e.m.e.nt that quickly flashed through his eyes disappeared. He continued to speak in a calm tone,Im telling the truth. Pei Pei probably doesnt like it herself, but shes just afraid of hurting your self-confidence, so shes holding back. If you want to grow, you should accept your own failures and setbacks. Come, make way. Theres not much time left, let me do it.
