That day, Bai Tao happened to have lunch with Yu Guo. In the coffee shop, she couldn’t help but complain to Yu Guo, “The workplace is really tough. Even though I know I’m a bit too outstanding, isn’t she targeting me too much? I specifically asked Yuan Mu, and even Yuan Mu said that Sun Jing used to hate business trips the most. But this time, she volunteered and insisted on going, saying she couldn’t waste such a precious opportunity…”

Bai Tao concluded, “She’s just afraid that I’ll steal her spotlight, afraid that if I go on a business trip with Pei Shi, my competence will earn his admiration and promotion. She’s typical of someone who’s jealous of others’ abilities!”

Yu Guo, biting on his straw, responsibly analyzed, “The tree that stands out in the forest invites the wind to blow. As someone exceptional, you naturally have to bear jealousy that ordinary people can’t handle! But don’t forget, could she not only be jealous of you but also have some unusual thoughts about Pei Shi? That’s why she’s seizing every opportunity to go on business trips with him?”

“Pei Shi is so workaholic. He probably spends more time with this assistant than with you. You should be careful. Don’t just rely on Pei Shi’s unwavering devotion to assume he’ll never change. Is Pei Shi a man? Yes! And men are capable of making mistakes!”

Originally, Bai Tao didn’t think much of it, but the more she listened, the more she felt that Yu Guo’s analysis made sense. She immediately declared, “Don’t worry! I’ll walk my own path and leave her no room to maneuver! Bai Tao, not only am I outstanding at work, but I’m also meticulous in my life with Pei Shi! Let her see what true excellence is!”

Having decided to perform well during the business trip, Bai Tao intensified her purchases. When checking in at the airport, she looked at her four large suitcases, proudly ignoring Sun Jing’s bewildered gaze, feeling very satisfied.

Just wait and see! This is the difference! Bai Tao resolved to excel and make Sun Jing retreat!

In fact, not to mention Sun Jing, when Bai Tao asked Pei Shi to bring down these four huge suitcases from upstairs in the morning, even Pei Shi showed a complicated expression that was hard to put into words: “You’re only going on a two-day, one-night business trip, not on vacation.”

Bai Tao put in effort to surprise Pei Shi and didn’t explain. She just coquettishly said, “Honey, help me bring them down.”

Since Pei Shi loved her so much, when she acted like this, of course, he couldn’t refuse. He silently brought the suitcases downstairs.

In addition to the four checked-in suitcases, Bai Tao also had one carry-on bag. Pei Shi booked first-class tickets for the four of them. Unlike Sun Jing, who was curious about flying first class for the first time, Bai Tao remained calm. Once the plane leveled off, Bai Tao was ready to start performing.

Just as Pei Shi put down the newspaper he was reading, Bai Tao took out eye drops and warmly said to Pei Shi, under Sun Jing’s watchful eyes, “Mr. Pei, your eyes must be tired from reading the newspaper. Use some eye drops to relieve eye fatigue!”

Pei Shi furrowed his brows slightly, probably afraid of revealing his relationship with her, and declined seriously, “Thank you, but I’m fine.”

Sun Jing saw this development and indeed showed a mocking smile on her face, as if ridiculing Bai Tao for sucking up and making a fool of herself.

Ha, this is the difference between people!

A truly good employee always thinks of various backup plans!

Bai Tao immediately pulled out another item: “Mr. Pei, if you’re not used to eye drops, how about trying this steam eye mask?” As she spoke, she pulled out something else, “And this magnetic patch. You work tirelessly, signing documents at your desk, so your wrists and shoulders need massage and recovery. This magnetic patch is a patented product from Japan, you’ll be amazed after using it…”

“Additionally, there’s this hand cream. You must use it. Long flights in air-conditioned environments dry out the skin. Let this moisturizing hand cream protect your hands and make them soft again…”

“Oh, here’s a moisturizing lip balm. It will keep your lips plump and sexy, wiping away any flight fatigue!”

…

Bai Tao, wanting to showcase her versatility, didn’t sleep well last night. She stayed up all night memorizing product descriptions to ensure she could answer any question Pei Shi might have and provide him with comprehensive care and grand service.

If she’s going to be an assistant, she’ll be the most outstanding assistant!

Her passionate explanation, as expected, left Sun Jing wide-eyed. She turned to look at Pei Shi, whose expression was a bit complicated. Bai Tao’s attentiveness had clearly moved him. He seemed emotionally stirred but didn’t want to show it. After taking a few deep breaths, he decided to suppress his feelings. Trying to stay calm, he once again refused Bai Tao, “Thank you, but no. I want to sleep now.”

No problem if he wants to sleep!

Bai Tao was prepared: “Mr. Pei, then you must use this silk eye mask! It’s smooth, breathable, light, luxurious, and unique, perfectly matching your temperament!”

“…” Pei Shi said, emphasizing each word, “I don’t like wearing an eye mask when I sleep.”

“This one feels like you’re not wearing anything, like a second skin. It breathes! Just try it!” Bai Tao blinked at Pei Shi, giving him a little flirtatious look.

At this, Pei Shi indeed showed an expression of “I can’t take it anymore.” He turned his head, lowered his voice, and his eyes seemed to suppress a spark of fire, “If I wear it, will you stop talking?”

Look at this man, just a few more words and he’s almost unable to resist!

Alright then, Bai Tao obediently nodded and handed over the silk eye mask.

Pei Shi glanced at Bai Tao as if warning her, took a deep breath, and finally took the eye mask. Before putting it on, he gave Bai Tao one last low-voiced warning, “Be quiet, okay?”

Got it, got it!
