My Wife Is Dominant

Chapter 19-20 Show off His Position as the General Manager； Knocking over the Frying Pan
Both Zhang Wei and Wang Weixi did not expect that Chen Kexin would lose her temper, although Chen Kexin was just spoiled, she rarely got irritated. Even though she did not like doing something, she would play nice; and she also treated her friends well.

At this point, it was the first time that anger was simmering in Chen Kexin’s eyebrows, which meant that she extremely disliked the stupid fat man in front of him.

“Kexin, go back to the bedroom. Director Zhang and I have something to talk.” Wang Weixi put down the glasses of water and patted his wife’s shoulder gently. Chen Kexin looked up and her eyes were full of resentment. Seeing this, Wang Weixi smiled to comfort her. Chen Kexin turned away and glared at Zhang Wei before she slowly rose and left in a bad mood.

However, it did not alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere at all.

Wang Weixi sat where Chen Kexin had been sitting and kept the gentle smile.

Director Zhang was actually one of the superiors Wang Weixi hated most. The reason was very simple. As the chief of the personnel department, Director Zhang had used his power many times to prevent Wang Weixi from being promoted. It was also the very fat guy who put him down several times in front of the colleagues.

Zhang Wei did not dare to look up, because despite being shielded by his glasses, he still felt being chased after by Wang Weixi’s unfriendly gaze. Wang Weixi was not a generous person. He had treated the visitor politely because he was used to acting humble in the company. Therefore, when Director Zhang first came, Wang Weixi felt being flattered for the first time and could only be courteous in every way.

But in a short time, he suddenly realized his identity was different now. In fact, he had not yet taken up his post as a general manager, so he did not want to show off, but grievances have been accumulated for too long, and what Chen Kexin said just now reminded him of something that happened a long time ago.

Zhang Wei was a well-known Lothario. He had slept with more than 30 women. Last year, he pushed a new employee to a point where she committed suicide. No one dared to speak up about it. The female staff member called Little Tao could only be a silent victim.

Wang Weixi squinted. “Bastard, why should I be so polite to him? He must have stared at Kexin lasciviously just now as he used to do. Otherwise, how could Kexin suddenly get mad?” Thinking of it, he became furious.

Zhang Wei wiped out the cold sweat on his forehead and said with hesitation, “Mr. Wang, I’m… I’m just swinging by today.”

Wang Weixi sneered and responded in a toneless voice. “Director Zhang, it’s very kind of you. I should thank you. You know, without your support, I can’t have such an achievement.”

Hearing this, Zhang Wei was frightened. He was 100 percent clear about what he had done before.

Nevertheless, Wang Weixi did not lie. If he had not been held down by Zhang Wei, he would not have become a good-for-nothing in other women’s eyes. Thus, he would not have turned to the cyber love and encountered such an amazing girl.

“About the past… I’m sorry, Mr. Wang. Please forgive me for my past wrongdoings. I will do my best to work for the company until I die!” Zhang Wei said sincerely.

Wang Weixi sneered but did not show his disdain, instead, he said, “Director Zhang, the past is the past. I’d like to move on.” However, in the heart, Wang Weixi was swearing to himself. “Come on, I’ll move on to seek revenge.”

Hearing it, Zhang Wei raised his head with joy and gave an ugly smile with his thick lips. He said excitedly, “Oh, Mr. Wang, how broad-minded you are! I know you won’t mind what I have done before. Mr. Wang, this…” Then, he was ready to utilize his social life theory. He raised the two boxes of ginseng and said in a tone as if he was presenting a treasure, “Mr. Wang, this is the ginseng that I asked my friends to buy in Yunnan. It’s nourishing for the body. I’ve brought two for you and your wife. It does absolutely no harm to your body!”

Wang Weixi waved his hand and didn’t take the boxes. Zhang Wei’s hands awkwardly stopped there, not knowing what to do.

“Director Zhang, such a valuable thing, how can I accept it? And, I am only a general manager. Your position is only two-level lower than me. If we’re in the university, we’re like the monitor and vice monitor, so there is no difference between us,” Wang Weixi said in a steady tone.

Zhang Wei’s face fell. He slowly withdrew his hands and lowered his head in silence. “If one ranks one-level higher than the other, he will have absolute authority over the other, let alone two levels. And, isn’t there a League branch secretary between the monitor and the vice monitor? Obviously, Wang Weixi is showing off.”

“He is a general manager while I’m a little director.” Thinking of this, Zhang Wei raised his head. He recovered his previous look and grinned cheekily. “Well, you are the general manager, but I’m a little director. You should not take it to heart, even if I made a mistake; you’re broad-minded and won’t take it to heart, right?”

“If I can’t flatter him in this way, how about in another way?” He was thinking what to do in the heart while observing Wang Weixi’s expression with his eyes at the moment.

Wang Weixi laughed grimly, lit a cigarette, and started puffing on it.

Zhang Wei was waiting for his reply.

Wang Weixi puffed out a cloud of smoke. Two men’s names ran through his mind: Zhang Liang and Zhang Meng. They were Zhang Wei’s nephews. Relying on his uncle’s influence, they muddled on and even arbitrarily ordered Wang Weixi to draw drafts pictures and make proposals for them.

Wang Weixi squinted and knitted his eyebrow more tightly. He looked up and said in a flat tone, “In fact, I hate to get involved in those things.”

“Right, right.” Zhang Wei nodded, but he did not dare treat it lightly because Wang Weixi would probably change his expression at any time according to what had just happened.

Wang Weixi took a puff on his cigarette and continued, “But Director Zhang, your two nephews had put me in a difficult situation with my design proposals several times. Do you know about it?”

Zhang Wei’s face darkened, and then, he pretended to be astonished and said, “What did you say? Have such things happened?” He looked as if he really knew nothing about it.

Wang Weixi flicked the ash and smiled.

Zhang Wei lowered his head and pretended to be angry. “Those two little brats, I’ll go back and punish them hard!”

“No, you don’t have to do that.” Wang Weixi felt that time was up, so he changed into a grim look.

Zhang Wei was stunned. Watching Wang Weixi’s serious look, he started to panic and stared at Wang Weixi in fear.

Wang Weixi did not utter a word, because he wanted Zhang Wei to speak for himself.

Zhang Wei took the glass of water with his trembling hands, his eyes full of hesitation. He raised his head to look at Wang Weixi, who stayed indifferent as if he only said something trivial.

Zhang Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead and was surer about the statement Wang Weixi wanted from him. He swallowed saliva and felt as if something was stuck in his throat. Thus, he loosened his tie and spoke in a tentative tone. “But Mr. Wang, there is a saying, be lenient wherever it is possible.”

Hearing it, Wang Weixi only smiled faintly and said in a toneless voice, “Oh? I thought that Director Zhang likes to be the heartless and cruel hero.”

“This…” A lot of sweat oozed out of Zhang Wei’s palm. “Is there no other way?” Thinking for a while, he shook his head helplessly and replied, “Well, well, I’ll follow Mr. Wang’s order and fire them both tomorrow!” When he was saying this, Zhang Wei felt his heart was bleeding.

Wang Weixi sniggered inwardly, but now he only showed a surprised expression and asked, “What did you say? Did I mishear it?”

Zhang Wei cursed Wang Weixi in his heart. He thought, “Wang Weixi looks honest and well-behaved. How can he become so cunning and sophisticated now?”

Wang Weixi had finished a cigarette. It was said that if someone did not break out in silence, he would perish in silence.

“You didn’t mishear it. Zhang Liang and his brother are loafers. They have sat around, abused their power and plagiarized other people’s design. Our company can’t keep them two! Fortunately, Mr. Wang knew about it and gave me a chance to expose and punish them!” Zhang Wei was trying hard to flatter Wang Weixi, grinning.

Wang Weixi laughed grimly. It was no wonder that brazen people were invincible. Zhang Wei was really a shameless pushover.

“Director Zhang, you really are the experienced director of our company. I thank you on behalf of our company!” Wang Weixi was not silly. He understood that he was unable to be cocky openly before he took the post. Since he had achieved initial success, he should give Zhang Wei a little reward at the moment.

As expected, hearing the compliment, Zhang Wei’s eyes lit up and he immediately responded with joy, “Nah, nah. This is my work as a director.”

Wang Weixi laughed but said nothing.

Zhang Wei just scratched his head awkwardly. Then, the silence was restored to the living room.

Wang Weixi did not like to put on airs, but he really had nothing to say with the bald director. Furthermore, he was unwilling to stay with the man for another second, so he chose to be silent.

Time passed by. Wang Weixi wondered why Zhang Wei did not go and he even wanted to drive him away.

“Mr. Wang, well… I’ll leave now.” Finally, Zhang Wei, who couldn’t bear the embarrassment, rose and said.

Wang Weixi showed a natural smile. “Why? Would you like to have dinner with us?”

Zhang Wei immediately waved his hand and said, “No, I still have things to do. You don’t need to prepare a meal for me. Then… Goodbye, Mr. Wang.” “Have dinner with you? It’s only half past one in the afternoon. Am I going to stand there and wait until the evening?”

Wang Weixi nodded and said, “Well, Director Zhang, bye. Thank you again on behalf of the company.”

Zhang Wei shook his head in a panic. “No, you do not have to do that. That’s my work.” Then he turned to leave.

“Wait.” Wang Weixi suddenly cried.

Zhang Wei’s expression, which had become grim, suddenly turned into an obsequious smile as he turned around. “What can I do for you?”

Wang Weixi pointed to the two boxes of ginseng on the sofa and said, “I really don’t want it. Please take it back.”

“Hmm… Mr. Wang, it doesn’t matter. I’ve got plenty of them at home. Please take it… And if you want more, I will send more.” Zhang Wei was unable to read Wang Weixi’s mind. However, in the end, if the gifts could not be accepted, he would definitely be restless.

“Perhaps he thought the presents are too humble.” With such an idea, he dared to utter the above sentence.

Wang Weixi shook his head and chuckled. “I really don’t need it. You can take the two boxes as a pension for the two laid-off staff members. Aren’t there two colleagues you will fire?” His slightly evil expression made Zhang Wei hard to breathe.

Zhang Wei nodded and said immediately, “Well… thank you, Mr. Wang. You are so thoughtful.” After that, he hurriedly picked up the two boxes of ginseng and ran out with a red face.

Wang Weixi went to the door at a steady pace and spoke in a lazy tone. “Goodbye, Director Zhang.”

Closing the door, Wang Weixi stretched. “Cool.” Then, he walked to the bedroom, satisfied.

Who said that women are born for the kitchen? It was true that lots of pretty female superstars could cook, and even a woman like Chen Keren was able to carry a pot, but Chen Kexin could do nothing.

Doing the dishes, she smashed bowls. If Wang Weixi asked her to carry the pot, who knew if she would burn herself or throw the pot away? Or… both of them probably would happen? Or something else?

In the bedroom, Chen Kexin stared at the computer screen with an obsessive look, so she did not perceive Wang Weixi come in.

Wang Weixi stood behind her. He was curious about whether Chen Kexin’s only interest was to watch these meaningless cartoons. Looking at the characters in the video, Wang Weixi burst into laughter.

Aware of someone behind her, Chen Kexin paused the video, took off her headphones and looked up, seeing her husband’s clean smile.

“Dear, what are you laughing?” Chen Kexin asked inquisitively.

Wang Weixi shook his head and replied, “Nothing, I’m just curious. My grown-up wife actually likes to watch this stuff…”

Chen Kexin pursed her lips and said, “This stuff? Cartoons can teach us a lot of things. Dear, let’s watch it together next time. It would move you definitely.”

Wang Weixi felt helpless. Maybe he had underestimated his own psychological endurance.

He did not retort. He just nodded and responded. “Sweetheart, enjoy it. I have to clean up the room.”

Chen Kexin nodded, put on headphones and continued to watch the cartoon. She seemed to forget the incident of being attacked by the “erotic eyes”. Seeing her carefree expression, Wang Weixi could not help but laugh. “Why is she always so happy? But I hope that she will be so happy forever, isn’t it?”

After he put away all the stuff in the bedroom, Wang Weixi was about to wash the mop to mop the floor. At this moment, the doorbell rang again.

Wang Weixi frowned. “Who is there this time?”

He drew to the door. Through the peephole, he saw a coquettish man fixing his short blond hair.

Wang Weixi opened the door with a wry smile and asked, “Can you dress normally next time? Look at you!”

It looked like that Yi Duanfang had got accustomed to those words, so he only disdainfully responded with “Humph”. Then he stepped in with his new red canvas shoes.

“Why are you here?” Wang Weixi asked curiously.

Yi Duanfang rolled his eyes and replied with dissatisfaction. “Why did you treat me coldly? Anyway, I have been your friend since our childhood. You don’t value my feelings, but you should care about the 13 years’ relationship between us, right?”

Wang Weixi laughed out and mocked. “When did you hear of ‘years’ relationship?”

Yi Duanfang extended his orchid fingers and said with a disdainful look, “Roll away, you have no conscience!”

Wang Weixi pushed up his rimless glasses and revealed his standard sunshine-like smile, saying, “Thanks for your compliments.”

“You!” Yi Duanfang got irritated and gnashed his teeth, but he couldn’t be bothered to care about it. He asked with his arms folded. “Where is your lazy wife?”

Wang Weixi flashed him a smile and responded. “Don’t call her like that. She is watching cartoons.”

“What?!” Yi Duanfang laughed out as if he heard the best joke in this world. “Hey, Wang Weixi, what shall I say? The other couples usually go to Paris or London on our honeymoon, but you stay at home to watch cartoons. Is there something wrong with your mind?”

Wang Weixi was about to explain, but Yi Duanfang raised his voice and continued, “You’re married, not a babysitter. How many days have you been doing like this? Have you taught her to make some dishes? You know, I’ve learned 10 dishes within a day!”

Wang Weixi shook his head and responded. “I guess you must waste 10 sorts of ingredients at that time, right? And I mentioned it yesterday. Why are you anxious about it?”

“Hey, Wang Weixi, are you an idiot? Or did Chen Kexin bleed you dry? There is one week left. One week! Hey, buddy, you should teach your silly girl as soon as possible. Are you going to do the housework by yourself forever? Even if Sister Yang and other colleagues haven’t gossiped about it, don’t they think that you covet your wife’s money?” Yi Duanfang spoke in an exasperated voice.

Wang Weixi frowned and gave no response.

Looking at Wang Weixi’s lonely face, Yi Duanfang snorted and did not say anything further.

Wang Weixi sighed and said, “Well, it’s very good of you to think of me, but it doesn’t matter. I don’t what other people think about me. As long as you know that I am not such a person, that’s fine.”

Yi Duanfang curled his lips and did not argue with him.

However, the bedroom door was opened unexpectedly.

Looking at the two people standing there, Chen Kexin bit her lip and pinched her fingers. His gaze dropped, like a child who made a mistake.

Wang Weixi glared at Yi Duanfang and instantly came to his wife. He said gently, “Dear, why do you come out?”

Chen Kexin shook her head and did not reply. Her pretty eyelashes seemed wet.

“Sorry, dear. Duanfang was waffling. Don’t take it to heart.” Wang Weixi held her in his arms and pacified her with patience.

Yi Duanfang had nowhere to vent his grievance.

Chen Kexin slowly raised her head and asked in a tentative tone, “Dear, will they really talk about you like this?” She was unwilling to see his husband bear such “rumors”. Even though she had expected it, she did not hope so.

Before Wang Weixi spoke, Yi Duanfang had yelled. “What do you think? Or who would marry you, an incompetent wife?”

Chen Kexin’s tears fell at this moment. Wang Weixi irritably shouted at Yi Duanfang. “Duanfang, what’s wrong with you?!”

Yi Duanfang rested his hands on his waist and stuck out his tongue with disdain.

Wang Weixi gently wiped Chen Kexin’s tears and comforted her. “No, dear. Those people gossip about it, because they envy me. I have a pretty wife and a rich, powerful father-in-law, so don’t worry about it. Let it go.” He stroked Chen Kexin’s head. Every time he did this, he felt as if he was caressing a child.

Chen Kexin kept silent for a while. Yi Duanfang ran to the sofa with a shameless face and sat down, waiting for a good show.

“Dear, teach me how to cook.” Chen Kexin suddenly spoke in a grim voice as if she had made up her mind.

It made Wang Weixi recall the phrase “Dear, punish me. Let me do the dishes tonight.” At that time, he was stunned as he was now.

Chen Kexin looked up and said pitifully, “Dear… teach me…”

Wang Weixi felt dizzy.

“What a nasty Yi Duanfang! I’ll kick your ass.”

“Dear…” Chen Kexin shook his arm and begged.

Wang Weixi felt helpless. After all, he was unable to dissuade his wife, so he said, “Okay, but you should be careful, dear.”

“Chi…” Yi Duanfang laughed disdainfully. “When Wang Weixi forced me to learn to make dishes, he did not treat me gently like that. He almost beat me because I confused the vinegar with soy sauce.”

“Now he cherishes his wife and takes care of her all the time. Even though the other people laugh at him, he could not bear let my wife cook.”

The more he thought about it, the more depressed Yi Duanfang was. His face darkened. “I really can’t figure out what this guy thinks. How could he stand this incompetent girl? Does he think he is a salvage station?”

When Yi Duanfang felt more resentful, Wang Weixi had pulled Chen Kexin into the kitchen. If he knew how Wang Weixi cherished his pots and pans, Yi Duanfang would laugh so hard that he fell on the ground.

Wang Weixi chuckled and asked, “What do you want to learn?”

Chen Kexin tilted her head and thought about it. The dishes Wang Weixi had made over the past few days ran through her mind. “What dish is it easy to make?” On second thought, she said with joy, “I want to learn stir-fried tomato and scrambled eggs.”

Wang Weixi was stunned. “Stir-fried tomato and scrambled eggs?” He originally thought that she liked to eat meat and would choose sweet and sour spare ribs.

“Yep, the stir-fried tomato and scrambled eggs you make are delicious!” Chen Kexin said with an adoring look.

Wang Weixi chuckled and said, “Well, I’ll teach you how to make stir-fried tomato and scrambled eggs. But… dear, do you know how to turn on the gas cooker?” This question came into his mind, though he felt embarrassed to ask her.

Chen Kexin responded with unusual pride. “Of course not!”

…

Wang Weixi snickered. “Where does her pride come from?”

Then he started to teach Chen Kexin to turn on the gas stove. Fortunately, Chen Kexin is not a total good-for-nothing, so she got the hang of it quickly.

Wang Weixi praised her with a smile. “Dear, you’re smart.”

As for washing tomatoes, of course, Wang Weixi did not intend to let Chen Kexin do this, let alone slice up the tomatoes. He was going to prepare all the ingredients for him. Therefore, Chen Kexin only stood there dumbly while watching Wang Weixi act swiftly and acclaiming with “Wow” from time to time.

Wang Weixi prepared all the ingredients she needed and turned his face, saying as if he was showing off, “How about it, sweetheart?”

Chen Kexin clapped for him his head and said adoringly, “Dear, you are awesome!”

Wang Weixi grinned. “Of course.”

Standing by, Yi Duanfang watched them with a disdainful look. “He can fool a girl in this way?” Chen Kexin was really a good-for-nothing. Turning around, he returned to the sofa, sat down and fiddled with his phone.

Wang Weixi poured oil into the frying pan, but he heard Yi Duanfang shouting outside. “Weixi, you have a call!” He picked up the phone on the sofa with scorn.

Wang Weixi immediately came out but forgot to turn off the gas cooker. Chen Kexin saw Wang Weixi step out, hurriedly pick up the phone and nervously enter the bedroom. She even heard Wang Weixi ask Yi Duanfang to teach her, but she was unaware that the oil in the pan was burning fiercely.

Yi Duanfang did not follow the order, lying on the sofa and kept fiddling with his cellphone, because he thought that Chen Kexin was not extremely dumb. However, he suddenly heard the cry of “Ah! Ah! Ah!” from the kitchen while Wang Weixi was still taking the call.

Yi Duanfang suddenly raised himself from the sofa and darted into the kitchen, seeing Chen Kexin holding a pan of fire in a panic.

“Sister Dangfang! Sister Duanfang!” Chen Kexin still jumped and yelled.

Yi Duanfang was petrified at this moment.
