Chapter 494: Special Assistant Su in Action

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xia Ling turned around and saw a woman wearing lilac silk embroidered and crocheted dress.

She spent some effort before finally remembering that this elegant and beautiful woman was Su Tang. They had not seen each other since the Li Family’s headquarters, but she still remembered that Su Tang placed a time bomb on her helicopter. If it weren’t for Li Feng, at that moment, she would have turned into dust in the vast open sea.

The past was coming back to her.

She remembered that Li Lei said that he had already transferred Su Tang away from him. Why was she back again?

Xia Ling did not really like this elegant yet secretive woman. After all, no one liked people who tried to murder them. She looked at Su Tang and took off her sunglasses. “What do you want?”

Su Tang did not think that Xia Ling would be this confident.

In Su Tang’s imagination, no matter how hard Xia Ling begged Li Lei to let the Pei Family off or sought refuge with Li Lei, she should be extremely fearful. Why did she look so confident instead?

What she did not know was that Xia Ling had undergone tremendous changes in the past few days and finally got out of Pei Ziheng’s control. She wholeheartedly thought that she could return to Li Lei, but after he did not pick up her calls, she was annoyed now. Coincidentally, she also bumped into Su Tang, the one who blocked her calls just now.

“Did you even tell Li Lei that I’m here?” Xia Ling asked coldly.

Su Tang smiled elegantly. “Young Master is very busy and has no time to see you, Mrs. Pei.” She deliberately emphasized the words “Mrs. Pei” and raised her volume so that people who were hungry for gossip nearby heard her clearly. “You’ve already married someone else and gave birth to an heir for Mr. Pei. Why are you here to meet your husband’s rival in public?”

“I don’t need you to care about what I do.” Xia Ling stated in a cold voice. “Please give way and don’t hinder me from using the pass.” There was internal security in Skyart. Without a pass, she could not enter the building.

“Who was the one who gave her the pass?” Su Tang refused to give way and asked the front desk girl.

Just now, after she rejected Xia Ling’s transfer call, she felt that something was wrong. What if Xia Ling met Li Lei through other means? What happened if they rekindled their love? She had to stop them from meeting. After Li Lei completely defeated Imperial and the Pei Family went bankrupt, perhaps Xia Ling would hate Li Lei, and the two of them would no longer be possible.

Thus, Su Tang rushed to the front desk.

The young girl at the front desk had always been a little scared of Su Tang. She was too elegant, no-nonsense, and was the famous cold beauty in the company. The front desk girl said timidly, “It was Mr. Wei Shaoyin who said to give Miss Ye the pass. He wants Miss Ye to go to Block B from the main building to find him.”

“So you gave Ye Xingling two passes?” Su Tang’s voice became colder.

The front desk girl shyly nodded.

Su Tang slightly moved her thin lips, and her voice was like a broken glass bead. “Do you know that Wei Shaoyin doesn’t have the authority to issue a guest pass into the main building?” The recording studio was in Block B, and the main building which was in Block A was the administrative office building. It housed the chairman’s office, the finance department, the legal department, various economic strategy departments, information centers and more. Miscellaneous people were not permitted to enter.

The front desk girl was stunned and speechless.

Of course, she knew that Wei Shaoyin did not have the authority to issue visitor passes to the main building, but this was not a big deal since Skyart was not a very strict place. It was common for visitors to walk past Block A to get to Block B conveniently, and everyone turned a blind eye to it. When were the rules suddenly so strict?

However, if one really looked at it, the front desk girl was the most unlucky.

She could only bow her head obediently as Su Tang reprimanded her. “Do you know who Ye Xingling is? She’s the wife of Imperial Entertainment’s Chairman Pei, the chairman’s wife. How could you let someone with such a special title directly into the main building? Will you able to take responsibility if something happens?”

In actuality, she appeared to be reprimanding the front desk girl, but she was actually reprimanding Xia Ling—she was already Pei Ziheng’s wife, so she should not come to Skyart to steal trade secrets!

Many smart onlookers understood what Su Tang meant.

She was right. Did this Mrs. Pei think she was still a singer in Skyart? How could she casually enter the main building? Skyart and her husband’s Imperial were still fighting intensively, but she did not know how to avoid suspicion!

Xia Ling was dumbfounded.

Although she lost her child, her stupidity remained.

She did not understand what Su Tang meant and very stupidly said, “I don’t want her to take responsibility.”

Startled, Su Tang was actually speechless after hearing what Xia Ling said. She had always been elegant and always spoke in a roundabout way. When she encountered such a girl with a low IQ, for a moment, she did not know how to deal with it. After pausing for a few seconds, she finally said, “You can’t enter the main building.”

“I want to go in.”

“You can’t go in.”

“Oh.” Xia Ling initially set her mind on entering the main building, but suddenly, she realized that she could take a detour by entering another building. Although Wei Shaoyin did not have the authority to visit the main building, he was in control of the building where his recording studio was! Since she did not manage to talk to Li Lei, she could not take advantage of Li Lei’s boss position, but she could still take advantage of the big producer’s position somewhere else.

Xia Ling, who was clear about that, turned around and left.

“You!” Su Tang was taken aback. Did she succeed so easily? It was said that Ye Xingling was argumentative and a master at arguing. She had defeated Xia Yu, Gu Lin, and others miserably. Now, it did not seem this way. Su Tang was at a loss for words.

She did not know that Xia Ling liked arguing, but today, she was not in the mood.

Recently, too many things had happened. Her pregnancy, getting a marriage certificate, having a baby, having her child pass away, getting hurt, the Pei Family’s misfortune... Today, she left Pei Ziheng with extremely complicated feelings to look for Li Lei. She was emotionally exhausted. So, how could she have the energy to look for more trouble?

If there were no necessity to quarrel, she would not argue with anyone.

Besides, she really didn’t like Su Tang. In the future, she would ask Li Lei to stay further away from her.

Xiao Ling swaggered out.

Su Tang looked at her back-view and did not even feel the joy of being a winner. In contrast, the more relaxed Xia Ling felt, the more nervous she became. She just felt that... something was wrong.

“At the end, special assistant Su is still more awesome.” Nearby, a small supervisor tried to curry favor with Su Tang and laughed. “You chased Imperial Entertainment’s chairman’s wife away with just a few words.”

“Yes, exactly.” People continuously agreed. “If special assistant Su steps in, she will definitely win.”

The administrative building was different from the studio building and managerial building. The artistic building had a free spirit, and there were no proper formalities. However, on this side, there were many white-collar workers. Although there was less competition than other companies, it was not completely absent.

Many people were willing to flatter Su Tang a little when they saw her.
