Capítulo 1560: Chapter 1558: Well, This Is Awkward

Whenever she thought of this matter, a wave of unease would wash over Pei Xi’s heart, and she couldn’t help but wonder, if something had really happened between her and Wang Dadong that day, what would things be like now?

Though she had known at that time that Wang Dadong’s identity was not ordinary, she never expected that Wang Dadong would turn out to be the master of the Shiyan Group, and also the husband of the so-called unconquerable Iceberg…

“You open the door, and I’ll let you go.” Wang Dadong didn’t care about any of this, seemingly oblivious to the many pairs of curious eyes staring at him.

“Can you please not make it difficult for me? It’s President Qin’s direct order not to let you in; if I let you in, I’d lose my job.” Pei Xi gritted her teeth and said.

“Isn’t it just the president’s secretary? As long as you let me in, if President Qin really fires you, come to the Shiyan Group, and I’ll offer you double the salary!” Wang Dadong said immediately.

Wang Dadong’s words wavered Pei Xi a little. If someone else said this, she certainly wouldn’t believe it, but who was Wang Dadong? He was half the master of the Shiyan Group; he definitely had the capacity.

Double the salary, equivalent to the pay of a vice president level, really.

It hadn’t been easy for Pei Xi to rise to this position step by step; being the president’s secretary was already quite good, not to mention a vice president, which she never even imagined.

All along, she had been comparing herself to Su Ying, who was also the president’s secretary, but Su Ying was promoted to vice president a few months ago.

Hearing this news, Pei Xi felt distressed for quite a while, clearly more capable than Su Ying, yet why was she still a president’s secretary, while Su Ying could become a vice president?

Perhaps that’s fate.

But now, Wang Dadong said if Qin Xue fired her, he’d offer her double the salary.

However, Pei Xi only hesitated for a few seconds, then shook her head and said, “It’s not about the salary; I’ve been with President Qin for so many years, even if I leave Xue Yun, I couldn’t possibly go to the Shiyan Group.”

Xue Yun and the Shiyan Group were the largest rivals; if she truly left Xue Yun Group, it would be disgraceful to join Shiyan Group.

Moreover, since the two companies were close to each other and the employees knew each other, if she really switched to Shiyan, many people would probably call her ungrateful.

Furthermore, Wang Dadong might just be saying it casually; after all, the Shiyan Group was still controlled by that woman. Considering her shrewdness, would she employ someone from a rival company?

So, Pei Xi couldn’t take the risk.

Pei Xi was unmoved, and Wang Dadong was a bit annoyed, releasing Pei Xi’s hand and saying, “Goddess Pei, didn’t expect you’re someone who is so ungrateful!”

“How am I ungrateful…” Pei Xi flushed with embarrassment, this guy, even if she were ungrateful, he shouldn’t have said it aloud like this.

“Do you still remember when I was a security guard at Jinding, there was a child at the company’s entrance calling you mom, I was the one who resolved it for you.” Wang Dadong said rather displeased.

Not mentioning it was okay, but mentioning it made Pei Xi a bit angry, gritting her teeth and glaring at Wang Dadong, “How dare you say, do you think I didn’t know it was you who purposefully made Old Man Liu’s grandson call me mom at the company’s entrance?”

“Uh… how did you know…” Wang Dadong originally intended to use this matter he helped her with before to make Pei Xi submit, unexpectedly she already knew the truth.

Meow, now this is awkward…

“You think you can just buy a lollipop!” Pei Xi glared at Wang Dadong disgruntledly.

“This little brat, sold me out for a lollipop; next time I see him, I must spank his bottom!” Wang Dadong fumed.

Seeing Wang Dadong actually bickering with a child, Pei Xi was utterly speechless, “Wang Dadong, I won’t argue with you over that matter; I just hope you don’t make things difficult for me, I really can’t let you in.”

“Goddess Pei, do you know why President Qin won’t let me in?” Wang Dadong knew Pei Xi was resolute on not letting him in, he had to take a different approach.

“I’m not sure, President Qin looked quite upset when she arrived at the company earlier; she told me that if you came looking for her at the company, you absolutely couldn’t let you in, otherwise I wouldn’t need to come to work anymore.” Pei Xi sighed.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dadong also sighed, saying, “Ah, I’ve let Xiao Xue down…”

“Xiao Xue… you, you call President Qin Xiao Xue…” Goddess Pei’s eyes widened.

That term was reserved for someone really intimate, implying Wang Dadong and President Qin’s relationship…

Wang Dadong nodded sadly and said, “Yes, it’s exactly what you’re thinking!”

“Then… what happened to President Qin?”

Wang Dadong didn’t respond, he just made a very pained expression and pointed at Pei Xi’s flat stomach.

Why is he pointing at my stomach?

Could it be…

Pei Xi’s two beautiful big eyes were about to pop out like bronze bells.

“Yes, that’s exactly it.” Wang Dadong nodded heavily again.

“Oh my god, Wang Dadong, you actually…” Pei Xi was so shocked she could barely speak.

At this moment, Pei Xi’s imagination ran wild.

In her mind, Qin Xue actually had an affair with Wang Dadong, maybe not taking proper defensive measures in bed, President Qin got pregnant, then asked Wang Dadong what to do, but Wang Dadong, having Lin Shiyan already, dared not take responsibility…

No wonder President Qin’s face was so unpleasant.

It must be like this!

“Goddess Pei, now that you know the story, can you let me in? Xiao Xue cried over the phone, I fear she might do something rash… after all, it’s an innocent life…” Wang Dadong feigned sorrowfully.

Pei Xi’s expression shifted several times, feeling conflicted inside, uncertain if she should let Wang Dadong in.

Usually in such scenarios, the more Qin Xue doesn’t want to see Wang Dadong, in her heart she’s more inclined to meet him.

But if I really let Wang Dadong in, President Qin wouldn’t truly dismiss me, right…

Pei Xi was still quite hesitant.

After all, her achieved success is even more hard-earned than Su Ying’s, to lose it so easily…

“Goddess Pei, how about this, when President Qin questions it, you just tell her I forced my way in.” Wang Dadong knew Pei Xi was wavering, taking advantage to push further.

“How would you force your way in without a password?” Pei Xi looked at Wang Dadong speechlessly.

Wang Dadong awkwardly scratched his head, right, he didn’t have the password; couldn’t very well tear down the door, right?

“Wang Dadong, if you really want to come in, I do have a way…” Just as Wang Dadong was pondering, Pei Xi suddenly spoke.
