<h4>Chapter 56: Attending the Company’s Gathering</h4>


    <strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios


    In the morning of this particr weekend, Pei Ge woke up earlier than usual.


    She was already up and about before the clock even reached 6 A.M. After washing up, she changed into a pair of loose-fitting sports clothes and started preparing breakfast for her mother and herself.


    At 6:30 A.M., when Zhang Manhua heard the ruckus in the kitchen, she came out from her bedroom and saw breakfast alreadyid on the dining table.


    “Isn’t today a weekend?” Zhang Manhua looked at Pei Ge in shock. “Why are you up so early in the morning?”


    “There’s apany activity today.” Taking a sip of her soybean milk, Pei Ge smiled. “Mom, quickly wash up. Let’s eat before the food gets cold.”


    “What kind of activity is it that you have to get up this early?” Zhang Manhua mumbled as she went to the toilet to wash up.


    Pei Ge smiled at her mother’s muttering. She originally did not want to participate in this activity. However, since it was apany’s group activity, Director Yang especially requested her attendance.


    Hence, she could only follow her order.


    Actually, it was not that bad to participate in thepany’s group activity. She had not yed golf for a long time. To be precise, she had not touched golf ever since her father’s death.


    Would she still be able to hit the golf ball with her swing?


    After breakfast, Pei Ge got on a bus. Instead of heading to thepany, she went to that shop she had her makeup done thest time.


    After spending a lot of effort, the salesperson finally agreed, albeit reluctantly, to help Pei Ge put on makeup mainly because there were hardly any customers this early in the morning.


    Before she left, Pei Ge observed her final look, which was uglier than thest time, and nodded her head in satisfaction.


    She then made payment for today’s service and thatst time they had waived off her bill. Telling them that she would be back in the future, she departed from the makeup store, with the promoter and makeup artist looking as though they were suffering from constipation.


    Since it seemed that time was running short for her, Pei Ge grudgingly took a cab to thepany and managed to arrive there before 8 A.M.


    “Pei Ge, your face...” Pei Ge’s arrival was punctuated by arge group of people’s appalled gasps.


    “How is it? Not bad, right?” Pei Ge smiled at her colleagues who were also in loose-fitting sportswear.


    Compared to those wearing thick and exquisite makeup, Pei Ge’s was undoubtedly the most eye-catching.


    Of course, she had also sessfully embellished the nearby female colleagues’ looks, making them appear prettier than usual.


    Hence, in today’s group activity, Pei Ge became the most sought-afterpanion of her female colleagues.


    “Ge Ge,e sit with us!”


    “Go away! Ge Ge is our nning Department’s!”


    “Pei Ge,e here! My ce is the mostfortable! All sorts of snacks and drinks are even provided!”


    Seeing her colleagues’ eagerness, Pei Ge involuntarily swallowed. In the end, under their passionate gazes, she sat beside Pan Xinlei.


    “Youss, what has gotten into you that made you wear makeup resembling that of a ghost?” Pan Xinlei felt frustrated at Pei Ge and strongly wanted to remove the horrendous makeup on her face.


    “He he...” Pei Ge merelyughed sheepishly at her question.


    “Others are desperately trying to make themselves look prettier, while you are striving to be simr to a ghost.” Pan Xinlei got angrier as she said this. “Hurry and remove this hideous makeup now! You’re definitely ruining our city’s beautiful appearance!”


    “Er... Sister Xinlei, it’s really not that bad. You’ll get used to it the more you look at me...” Pei Ge shook her head fervently. How would she be willing to remove this makeup that had cost her 50 yuan?


    She herself did not want to put on such a look, but she had no choice. Today was thepany’s group activity, and it was rumored that that annoying CEO would attend it, too.


    Even if the chance of himing was slim, she still must make sure that that scene in the elevator would never happen again.


    <i>If I hadn’t gotten lucky that time, I would’ve definitely been found out... </i>Pei Ge muttered to herself.


    Soon, theirpany’s vehicle reached the golf course by the suburb.


    Reaching the golf course, those colleagues that were originallyining about having to get up early on a weekend readily discarded this thought in their excitement.


    Pei Ge alighted from the vehicle, took a sniff of the morning air, and felt a refreshing feeling surge through her body.


    The euphony of bird songs and smell of newly trimmed grass could make one feel rxed and refreshed... if not for the din her colleagues were currently making. Their chattering really spoiled the tranquil, peaceful atmosphere of the golf course.


    Chenguang Real Estate’s employees split into different batches and got on the electric buggies to head to their designated portion of the golf course.


    Perhaps because it was still morning, but the golf course looked especially scenic. The green grass, blue skies, and gentle wind gave one a special and joyous feeling.


    Pei Ge got off a buggy and felt contentment settle in her heart as she stepped on the ground carpeted with grass.


    She no longer regretteding here. Rather, Pei Ge was d that she hade.


    Upon receiving an average golf club from a caddie, Pei Ge immediately tried swinging it.


    Although she was slightly unfamiliar with using it at first, she eventually found that familiar feeling again.


    Meanwhile, in the private area of the suburb golf course...


    “Puh! Ji Ziming, I have bad news for you.” Mu Hengughed at a certain someone’s misfortune as he watched him swing a golf club.


    “...” Frowning, Ji Ziming put down the golf club and received a face towel from a male caddie.


    “Auntie brought that ‘Cindere’ over.” Mu Heng grinned.


    Ever since he heard about what had happened between Liu Yue and Mother Ji, Mu Heng, who was fond of giving people nicknames, started calling Liu Yue that.


    Ji Ziming tightly pursed his lips when he heard this piece of news, his gaze turning cold.


    At Ji Ziming’s expression, Mu Heng happily muttered to himself, <i>Looks like this Cindere is going to get unlucky soon. Tsk, tsk, tsk...</i>
