Chapter 555: Dad Picks You Up from Work by Plane, This Treatment is Unmatched
The online frenzy continued unabated, but Ji Wei remained unbothered, calmly working in her office as if nothing had happened.The shareholders who were extremely dissatisfied with Ji Wei decided to hold their fire for now, convinced that the rumors alone were enough to sink her, while they sat back to reap the benefits.
As for Mu Jiajiao, Ji Wei still found her somewhat useful, so she decided to set her aside for the moment.
After work hours ended, the employees left the company one by one.
Downstairs, in front of the building, the media and reporters stubbornly remained, unwilling to leave. Having waited until the end of the workday, they were determined to endure whatever it took to get firsthand interview material.
Mary walked in and asked, "Mrs. Gu, there are reporters everywhere outside. Shall I cover for you when you leave later?"
"No need," Ji Wei said, signing the final document and lifting her head. "Someone will be picking us up shortly."
Both Chen Ke and Mary looked confused.
Even if there was someone coming to pick her up, wouldn’t they still be surrounded by the media downstairs?
The three of them left the office together and walked to the elevator. When they saw Ji Wei press the button for the upstairs direction, Chen Ke couldn’t help but ask, "Ma’am, why are we going to the top floor?"
"To go home," Ji Wei replied matter-of-factly.
Chen Ke grew even more bewildered. Orıginal content can be found at novel⚑fire.net
It wasn’t until they stepped out of the elevator and reached the rooftop that Chen Ke finally understood what was going on.
There was a private helicopter waiting for them ahead. Xi Nanfeng, dressed in a white suit with one hand casually in his pocket, was kicking at the ground lazily, perhaps out of boredom from waiting.
As they approached, Xi Nanfeng stopped what he was doing, curled his lips, and teased, "Little Wei, I flew a helicopter to pick you up after work. No one else gets this kind of treatment!"
Ji Wei smiled and said, "Thank you, Second Young Master."
They boarded the helicopter, its rotor emitting a deafening roar as it arrogantly took off into the sky.
The dense crowd at the building’s entrance looked up at the sound, their gaze fixed on the helicopter flying right over their heads. Each of them was dumbfounded.
Who was this flashy person flying a helicopter across the city?
Someone’s brain clicked, and they shouted, "Could Ji Wei be on that helicopter?"
"I think it’s possible! She clocked out over ten minutes ago, and none of us have seen her. She must’ve already escaped!"
"Chase it! Hurry up and chase it!"
Watching the media and reporters below, cameras in hand, rushing to pursue the helicopter, Xi Nanfeng couldn’t stop laughing. Slapping his knee, he exclaimed, "This crew is hilarious—they think they can catch up to a helicopter? Why don’t they just fly themselves!"
Ji Wei was about to respond when her phone rang.
"Has Old Xi picked you up yet?" Gu Moqian’s voice came through the line.
Ji Wei glanced at Xi Nanfeng, who was laughing wildly, and replied, "Yes, we’re flying home now."
"Be careful," Gu Moqian said. "By the way, my flight back to Rongcheng is delayed due to heavy snow, so I might not make it home tonight."
"It’s fine. I’ll wait for you no matter how late it is," Ji Wei said.
"No," Gu Moqian objected firmly. "Go to bed early—the lack of sleep isn’t good for your health."
Helpless, Ji Wei had no choice but to agree obediently.
After Ji Wei ended the call, Xi Nanfeng couldn’t contain himself any longer. "Old Mo’s not coming back?"
"Very likely," Ji Wei said. "His flight is delayed because of the weather."
Xi Nanfeng lit up with excitement. "Now this is great! Ji Xiaowei, you promised me a big meal last time, and today I’ve gone out of my way to help you. You can’t possibly skip out on this dinner, can you?"
Ji Wei couldn’t help but laugh. "Sure, what do you want to eat?"
"What do I want to eat? Obviously, a seafood feast!" Xi Nanfeng answered without hesitation.
Gu Moqian usually gave him a hard time—he had to take full advantage of his absence to feast extravagantly!
