Chapter 1408: Too Much Power Granted

Pei Dongshi crossed his arms and chuckled, “I don’t really want to interfere.

You gathered a group of amateurs to judge, a mistake you never made before.

Since it’s about capability, let me ask you, what’s lacking in Nan Jiaojiao’s capability?”

With just a few words, Qin Qing was rendered speechless, knowing she had no justification.

She was merely upset that Pei Dongshi stood up for Nan Jiaojiao without giving her any face.

Everyone in the meeting room was at least at the deputy manager level.

Having held a high position in the company for many years, she had long developed an authoritative demeanor, and could not tolerate any humiliation.

Nan Jiaojiao’s work was indeed outstanding, and she couldn’t find fault with it, so she argued, “The company has its own set of rules for employing people.

I don’t care what kind of relationship you have with Nan Jiaojiao; this company is not a place to abuse privileges.”

Pei Dongshi pressed his lips together, a cold sharpness suddenly emerging from his eyes, “What relationship do I have with Nan Jiaojiao?”

Qin Qing was at a loss for words.

“Speak up,” he continued to question.

Qin Qing had seen the video of Pei Dongshi and Nan Jiaojiao being intimate in the break room, but she couldn’t say it.

“I merely appreciate talent and don’t want to miss out on a promising candidate.

Speaking a few more words becomes favoritism, and you go labeling people as privileged.

Qin Qing, you sure have your ways.”

Qin Qing was startled, her lips pressed tightly together.

“You’re a woman too; you should understand that whenever a female employee gets involved with a male superior, even a little gossip can ruin their career.

Some things I choose not to state explicitly, but that doesn’t mean you can—be brazenly disrespectful to me.”

Qin Qing’s heart suddenly raced, looking at Pei Dongshi in panic, unable to keep her gaze steady, hurriedly averting her eyes.

Pei Dongshi was still smiling, but his eyes were undeniably cold.

“I’m delegating authority to you so that when I’m not at the company, you can manage everything well.

The company’s development to this point owes a lot to you, but am I…”

He pulled at the corner of his mouth, his voice deliberately lowered, “giving you too much power?”

“President Pei!”

“There’s an assignment in Country Y.

I’m recently too packed, so you go over and take a look.

I’ll grant you a few more days off.

Once the official matters are done, enjoy a few days there.”

Qin Qing suddenly panicked, was he sending her away?

“President Pei, I really haven’t shown favoritism.

Everything I’ve done is for the company’s good.

If you truly suspect me of harboring other intentions, there’s nothing I can say.

I’ll carry out the tasks you’ve given me, but there’s no need for vacation, I’ll return as soon as the work is done.”

Qin Qing turned and left.

Pei Dongshi glanced at her, furrowing his brow in cold displeasure.

He hadn’t noticed before; he’d raised a wolf by his side.

“Find an excuse, bring back a few management staff from the overseas branch.”

Qiao Shan asked, “Are you bringing them back to dilute Director Qin’s power?”

Pei Dongshi’s eyebrows twitched, “You’re becoming increasingly bold in your words!”

Qiao Shan laughed, “Don’t worry, I’m in my own office, no one else can hear.

I’ll handle it this afternoon, there are a few overseas Chinese who are quite capable, you’ve favored them abroad several times.

I’ll draft a list for you, and once you’ve selected, just let me know.”

Pei Dongshi opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a word.

The assistant was too outstanding, sometimes making him feel helpless.

After a while, he managed to squeeze out, “Thank you.”

“No need to thank me, you pay my salary, this is what I’m supposed to do.”

So official!

Pei Dongshi hung up the phone expressionlessly, and then called Nan Jiaojiao.
