Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is a Affectionate Spitfire

Chapter 283: You need to learn a lot more as my female companion.

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Pei Ge felt weird when she saw the seriousness in Ji Ziming’s eyes.

Why would this annoying fellow say such things? Was he concerned for her? This type of concern, however, seemed to be a little overboard.

“Ke!” she lightly coughed and explained, “He is my second uncle that is close to me. Why would he bully me?”

“Hmph,” he merely harrumphed and did not pursue the matter further.

This dumb woman is so stupid she won’t know it even when she’s being bullied.

Pei Ge naturally did not know what he was thinking, but if she did, she would certainly be furious.

“Eaten your fill?” he asked with a cold glance.

“Mhm-mhm.” She eyed her tummy and blushed with embarrassment.

She was clearly here for work, yet she threw work aside and ate to her heart’s content, instead.

“Sorry, CEO Ji...” she apologized meekly.

“Mhm.” He was initially unhappy with her act of abandoning him, but seeing her apologetic face now, his unhappiness instantly dissipated.

“Actually... I’m not fit to be your female companion. You see; I only eat and am not useful...” She underrated herself in an effort to escape attending such events with him in the future.

Hearing her self-deprecating words, he chuckled coldly. “You also know that you’re useless and gluttonous, huh.”

“...” Her face flushed with embarrassment, and she felt slightly upset at his merciless words.

“You are my secretary. Whatever you don’t know, just learn them. Whatever you can’t do, just strive to know how. These are your responsibilities. If you aren’t capable, then why am I giving you a high salary for?” he stated matter-of-factly and saw her expression change slightly.

She seemed to have received enlightenment from his words as she now looked at him with captivated eyes.

His words woke her up completely.

She anxiously licked her lips and guiltily chastised herself.

Every time she left the office to work by his side, she always had the mindset to run away.

This mindset had always been justified by her many excuses.

For instance, being his female companion at such events was clearly part of her responsibility as his secretary.

However, she always told herself that she had never attended such events before, she was inexperienced, and he was making things difficult for her. She always hoped to embarrass herself. And although she did attend the business gatherings with him, she merely ate and always strove to leave his side at the first chance.

She was clearly his secretary, so what rights did she have to complain? If he asked her to go, what rights did she have not to go?

What rights did she have to skive off and think negatively of the job?

He was right. Since she was his secretary and was getting paid by him, she should perform her job to the best of her abilities.

What she did not know, she must learn, and what she could not do, she should strive to get done.

Only then would she be worthy of the high salary she was receiving.

“CEO Ji, I’m sorry. I’ve had the wrong mindset from the very start. Next time...” She lifted her head and looked him seriously in the eyes. Although her voice was not loud, her determination could be heard. “I will definitely perform my job well.”

He felt happy to see her like this yet also felt an unspeakable disappointment.

“As long as you understand,” he said lightly.

“Mhm!” She nodded vigorously. Her current enlightened self no longer disliked attending such events with him and no longer thought of persuading him to replace her as his partner.

He was the boss and who he brought along was his business. She was merely a small secretary; what rights did she have to complain?

“From tomorrow onward, I will get experts to give you lessons in your free time,” he said, moved by how serious she was being.

“Huh? Give me lessons?” She widened her eyes in incomprehension.

What does he mean by getting experts to give me lessons?

He helplessly looked at her confused expression.

“What do you think is your role as my female companion in such events?”

“My role...” This question really stumped her. She paused to think for a while before giving a tentative answer, “My role is to socialize and drink?”

In TV dramas, whenever the male and female leads attended such events, they seemed to only drink wine and chat...

“Heh!” he chuckled lightly at her answer.

“Am I wrong?” She looked at him with embarrassment and muttered inwardly,Indeed, those shows are full of lies.

“You’re not exactly right, but you’re not exactly wrong, either.” He raised the glass in his hand and asked, “Do you know what wine I’m holding and what year it was made?”

She gawked at his question and then shook her head.

“I don’t know.”

“Then do you know the latest politics and industry news?” he pressed on. He took a sip of his wine, not at all bothered by what she was going to say.

She shook her head again.

She really did not know anything.

Seeing her lost state, he said languidly, “You need to learn a lot more as my female companion.”

She pressed her lips firmly together, inexplicably feeling lethargic.

“I understand,” she said feebly. She could already foresee how tired she would be from learning all those things in the days to come.

Although she did not want to learn, she knew that he was doing this for her good. Moreover, her work required her to know all that stuff.

If others knew her unwillingness to learn, they would be infuriated with her. Such good things would be a dream come true to others.

Forget that the training was for free, others would gladly take part in such learning even if they had to pay a lot.

Who would not want to learn the necessary skills to mingle with the socialites?

Such opportunity could not be bought with money.
