Regarding Judy's actions, Ye Anxin couldn't care less! When they reached the elevator, she quickened her pace to catch up with Pete and asked with a playful smile, "Is this guy called Pete? Hi, I'm Ye Anxin, I'm the uncle's wife!"
"Madam, I know who you are!" Pete's mouth twitched a couple of times, resisting the urge to roll his eyes.
Ye Anxin scratched her head and giggled, "Haha... here's the thing! I want to ask you a favor, you absolutely have to agree, okay?"
"Madam, we, as subordinates, can't interfere with the president's matters, and if the president finds out, I'd lose my job!" Seeing Ye Anxin's expression, Pete didn't need her to say anything to know what she was planning to ask, and he preemptively quashed her intentions before she could voice them.
Ye Anxin stopped in her tracks, pursed her lips, and in the blink of an eye, her eyes misted with tears. She then sniffled deliberately and said pitifully, "Brother Pete, I'm really in a bind here. The uncle won't pay any attention to me, and when I ask him, he just won't tell me! I'm just concerned about him, right? Think about it—he comes home late from business talks, he always has to eat, right? What if he gets too hungry? Please, I'm begging you, just tell me, okay? I swear I won't rat you out!"
Pete's eyebrow and eye corners twitched simultaneously, and seeing Ye Anxin looking ready to cry, he couldn't help but applaud her internally.
This acting is Oscar-worthy; it's a waste she's not an actress.
He really wanted to tell her: business talks aren't just idle chatter—they involve eating and drinking! There's no need for her to prepare a late-night snack.
Yet, he couldn't help but be compassionate towards women, knowing she was pretending, but still couldn't help but say, "Madam, business talks can't be rushed. Whenever they're concluded, that's when we can head back!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Anxin's eyes lit up, and she cheerfully ran over, nodding enthusiastically, and said ingratiatingly, "Brother Pete, if you all are coming back, just give me a call before you get in the car!" Then, she hurriedly took out paper and pen from her backpack, skillfully wrote down her phone number, and forced it into Pete's hand, "This is my phone number, you must keep it safe! I know Brother Pete is the best!"
Looking at the paper with her phone number in his hand, Pete's fingers twitched a couple of times. After a pause, he put the paper into his suit pocket.
Seeing him put the paper with her phone number into his pocket, Ye Anxin smiled with satisfaction. After the elevator doors opened, she ran directly in, waved goodbye to Pete, and said, "Brother Pete, I can go back by myself. I won't hold up your work, go help the uncle!"
"Madam...!" Pete called out, and just as the elevator doors were closing, he squeezed in at the last moment.
Ye Anxin said with a smile, "Brother Pete, I can go back by myself!"
"The president instructed me!" Pete was really at a loss for words with this president's wife. Why did he find talking to her such a headache?
"...!" Seeing Pete's firm attitude, Ye Anxin wisely shut her mouth.
Pete escorted Ye Anxin to the parking lot below, drove off with her directly.
Sitting in the car, Ye Anxin was so bored that she took out a book from her backpack to read.
Half an hour later, Ye Anxin finally lifted her head and glanced out the car window! She was immediately startled, "Brother Pete, this isn't the way back! I live at the Seven Road Hotel!"
