Chapter 1931: Picking Up My Ambition

Pei Dongshi laughed, “Listen, words like ambition aren’t suited for a lazy person like you. Try another one, like sloth.”

Nan Jiaojiao snorted quietly, not daring to make a sound. She reached out with her toe and gave a little push, setting the rocking chair in motion.

“At least wait until Zhenzhen’s order is finished, and take it slow.”

At first, Pei Dongshi didn’t catch the meaning. After taking two sips of coffee, a sudden flash of insight hit him, and a hint of disbelief appeared in his eyes. He stared straight at her, “What do you mean? Are you planning to step out from behind the scenes and fight alongside your senior brother?”

“I’m about the right age. I’ve played around long enough; lately, I’ve had some free time, so I thought I should pick up some ambition. It’s nice to have something to do.”

Quite peculiar indeed.

Pei Dongshi always knew she was smart, but she stubbornly refused to skip grades. She completed three years of high school in less than a year, and did the same with college, yet she relied on her young age and student status as a cover to get away with laziness.

While Pei Dongshi was building his business from the ground up, she wore her school uniform, went to school with a backpack, and confidently pushed all responsibilities onto him. Whenever he got angry, she’d pull out some designs to shut him up.

The phrase she used most often was, “Senior brother, I can’t do anything else, I just know how to design a few things. I’ll leave the rest to you.”

Because of this phrase, Pei Dongshi played the fool for years.

“What triggered this sudden change?”

“I’ve thought it through. The Nan family gave me a few companies, my uncle personally took care of connections and handed them over to me. Even if I don’t manage them, the companies won’t falter. It’s just you at E.Y; I always push all the work onto you, and I feel guilty. Besides, I’m in Rongcheng City and E.Y is here too, close by. I have time to learn from you, my studies are done, so I need to find something to do.”

Pei Dongshi was deeply moved.

Tears almost formed, but Nan Jiaojiao’s next words put a stop to that.

“Mainly because I’m afraid of wearing you out so much that I’d pay for it in the next life.”

Pei Dongshi…

Ha ha.

Classic her.

“Alright, I can teach you step by step. Once Miss Lu’s order is completed, with her boosting your reputation, you can reveal your identity, gaining the trust of everyone at the company without me having to exert extra effort.”

Pei Dongshi finished his coffee and placed the cup on the table, “Let’s go to the company.”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t move, “I’m not going for the next few days; I have stuff to do.”

“Now you’re brushing me off with the words ‘having stuff to do,’ huh?” Pei Dongshi was clearly displeased, “All that talk earlier was just to humor me?”

“Not at all, I really do have something to handle. Once it’s done, you won’t need to push me; I’ll take the initiative.”

Pei Dongshi remained skeptical, “How long?”

“No more than three days.”

“Fine, give me your car key; I need to take my clothes back.”

Nan Jiaojiao went upstairs, grabbed the car key, and came back down.

Yesterday, she planned to return the last few boxes of costumes and props to the company, but a car accident delayed her. When she left the hospital, the company was already closed. She was too lazy to use her privileges to go back and unlock the door. Anyway, it wasn’t urgent, so taking them back today would be just fine. Since Pei Dongshi was there, he could conveniently take them back.

Aunt Mou came over to ask, “Miss, what do you plan to eat for lunch, so I can prepare the ingredients?”

“Will Master be back for lunch?”

“It’s uncertain. Recently, Elder Jiang obtained two medicinal plants, she’s staying at the Medicine Garden. Meals are prepared only when she instructs the kitchen, sometimes she gets so busy that she forgets to eat lunch until two in the afternoon. You don’t need to wait for her; you can eat separately.”
