Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

Chapter 825: Why make things hard for a fellow woman?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Anyway, I think that there’s a need for me to tell you this: Appointing me as the new planning manager was done by my boyfriend’s father. It has nothing to do with your boss.”

The moment she said this, the director’s expression instantly turned ugly.

“Director, I believe that since you are capable enough to sit in that position, you won’t be that superficial. Why do you automatically assume that a woman has used her beauty if she manages to occupy a managerial position? You are also a woman, and it must not have been easy for you to climb your way up here, but precisely because of that that you should be giving me, a fellow woman, more trust, right?”

She did not want her relationship with this superior to sour, so she tried reasoning calmly to her.

Alas, this director in front of her did not take her peace offering.

“Hur hur! I now understand how you managed to snag the planning manager position.”

A wave of anger rose in the director’s heart when she stood across her with an open smile.

Smirking coldly, the director told her with disdain, “Looks like you are very eloquent.”

Her hands balled up into fists. I’m the type to return tenfold of the kindness I receive... If they’re purposely making things hard for me, my apologies, but I won’t try to stick a hot face to a cold ass!

“That’s right. I am very eloquent, but no matter how eloquent I am, I still beat you, director.”

Her lips curled up into an unfriendly smile. In fact, it became a little taunting.

“Director, if you only came to say all that to me, then you can take your leave now.”

As she said that, she indicated the door.

“Hmph! You’d better not create trouble for me, or else I won’t care about your relationship with the CEO, and I will—”

Before the director could finish speaking, she interjected.

“Alright, director. There’s no point in repeating the same thing again.”

She smiled at her.

Seeing this, the female director grew more incensed. She had been in the company for so many years, yet there was no one in her department who had ever dared speak to her like this.

Now, this woman, who had suddenly become a high-ranking subordinate, was actually speaking to her like this. How could she not be angered?

“You! You really don’t know good from bad!”

She glared at her then turned to leave her office.

Pei Ge finally heaved a sigh of relief upon her departure.

“Sigh! Looks like this job won’t be easy at all...”

She sat down in the chair and lightly sighed helplessly.

“This is all that annoying fellow’s fault. If not for him, that director won’t be so against me...”

The man in question walked in right at this moment.

“What are you muttering to yourself over there?”

Ji Ziming, who happened to see her exasperated look, raised an eyebrow. Although he sounded very nonchalant, his voice was still filled with concern.

“Ah!”

His voice startled her into looking at him.

“Why are you here?”

“I can’t be here?”

He walked toward her and addressed her from across the work desk.

“Of course, it’s not like that. It’s just that it is the working hours now,” she mumbled softly. This reminded her of what that director had said earlier.

“It’s noon, so I’m here to pick you up for lunch.”

She looked at him with some amusement and gently said, “Lunch? What time is it only, and we are going for lun—”

Before she finished her words, her eyes registered the clock on the wall, and when she saw that it was truly almost noon, she realized with a start that she had been spacing out for so long.

“Er... so it’s almost noon.”

“Yes, let’s go.” He nodded.

“Okay. Let’s go have lunch. It’s not like I have anything to do, anyway.”

She nudged her lips, packed her items in her bag, and left the office with him.

When the two left the office and the company in a car, it attracted all the employees’ attention and brought about another wave of discussion.

As for the two people in their conversation, one did not care while the other ignored it knowing that it would not make a difference whether she minded it or not.

A short while after the car drove off, it stopped before a five-star hotel.

She did not find this place foreign as she had been here many times with the man.

“Why did you think of coming here? I thought you’d bring me home to eat the food you cook.”

She unbuckled her seatbelt and smiled while teasing him.

“You want to eat my cooking?”

His lips involuntarily curled up.

“Yes, of course! The food you cook is way more delicious than those made by highly acclaimed chefs!”

She nodded seriously.

To be frank, of all the food she had eaten, his cooking suited her taste the most.

“Let’s go home now.”

With that said, the man moved to buckle her seatbelt again.

“No, no, no! Let’s not trouble ourselves. Since we are already here, let’s just eat here. We can go home to eat your cooking tomorrow!”

She looked at him, feeling amused. Although she found him to be willful, she still felt touched by his action.

“Let’s go! I haven’t eaten here in a long time!”

She got out of the car and affectionately held onto his arm as they made their way into the hotel.

They entered the elevator and were soon at the garden restaurant. However, before they sat down, she exclaimed in shock, “Ah!”

Senior and... Miss Qiao?!

Why are they here together?
