Chapter 36: Chapter 35 Integrating into the Small Group_2

Michelle was even more embarrassed, her head almost dropping to her chest, when Li Yifei immediately said with a chuckle, "Sister Shen, you really shouldn’t flatter me like that. I’m just a poor guy with neither house nor car, how could I ever be worthy of Michelle?"

As soon as Shen Yajuan heard this, she shook her head with a sigh, "Then there’s no chance. Our dear Michelle, such a beauty, certainly needs to find a good family. But Little Li, you’re not bad yourself, how about I introduce someone to you later?"

Li Yifei was startled and quickly said, "No need, no need, Sister Shen. With my current situation, anyone who marries me would be getting a raw deal. Let’s wait until my job is more stable, at the very least until I can save up some money for a down payment or something. Otherwise, what kind of life would it be to have someone share a rented room with me?"

Shen Yajuan nodded, "You’re right. Nowadays, not to mention having a car, but not even having a house does make it difficult to find a girlfriend."

By this time, Li Zhisheng had also returned, and everyone began to work. Li Yifei also started looking through some documents as if he knew what he was doing.

After a while, Chen Fei walked in, closed the office door, and spoke in a low voice, "Did you folks hear? Our company is getting a new person."

Shen Yajuan immediately asked, "A new person is coming?"

"Sent from above, and I’ve heard that person is coming straight to our company to take the position of financial director."

"No way, wouldn’t that mean our company’s financial authority would be taken away? Does President Xu agree to this?" Li Zhisheng’s eyes widened, and he let out an incredulous gasp.

Chen Fei immediately said, "President Xu must have agreed, and now who knows what our company is going to turn into."

The firm’s drivers usually had a knack for gathering information, so when Chen Fei said this, none of them couldn’t help but believe it. This made everyone feel a bit heavy. Previously, the highest position in the financial department was the finance manager, and Xu Yingying was fine with arranging anything; the matter of everyone’s salary increase was also up to her. But now, with a financial director coming in, who knew if the bonuses and such would be as generous as before.

Li Yifei wasn’t concerned; at the very least, his salary at Huayang Company was higher than when he was a security guard, and the work was obviously more relaxed. Moreover, he was someone who took things as they came. If Huayang didn’t work out, he could always go back to being a security guard—as long as he didn’t starve.

Early the next day, the four people from the logistics department went to meet with Zheng Xiuqin to report the inspection results. After the meeting ended, everyone returned to the logistics department.

Inside the logistics department, Chen Fei was animatedly talking to He Dong. Seeing the others come in, he got even more excited and said, "Big news, big news!"

Shen Yajuan rolled her eyes, "You always have big news, which eventually turns out to be nothing but trivial matters."

Chen Fei immediately said, "This time it’s definitely big news. Did you know, the new financial director who’s come to our company is a beauty, and she’s really young too—only twenty-seven years old."

As soon as Shen Yajuan heard this, she became even less interested and pursed her lips before returning to her seat, while Li Zhisheng’s eyes lit up, "Really? No way you’re bluffing, right?"

Chen Fei chuckled, "Brother Li, even if she is a beauty, what ideas could you possibly have? Be careful, or your wife at home may have you kneel on a washboard."

"Heh, even if I can’t entertain ideas, I can still take a few extra looks. Now that Michelle has joined our logistics department, you two guys won’t be hanging around other offices when you’re free."

Michelle’s face turned red, and she lowered her head, while Chen Fei and He Dong laughed out loud. Chen Fei said to Michelle, "Don’t take it to heart, Michelle. We’re all like your brothers here, we don’t have any ill intentions toward you."

Michelle spoke softly, "I know," but her ears turned red.

Chen Fei then said, "The director I picked up today is really pretty, not at all inferior to President Xu. Her figure, her looks, while I was driving, I got distracted multiple times."

Li Zhisheng leaned in close to Chen Fei, "She’s that pretty, you’re not exaggerating, are you?"

Chen Fei smirked, "Man, you really don’t trust me. She’s in President Xu’s office right now, if you don’t believe me, go see for yourself."

"Get lost, why would I go to President Xu’s office for no reason? Looking for a scolding?"

"In any case, you’ll definitely get to see her sooner or later. Don’t go weak at the knees when you do, Old Li."

"Go away, do you think I’m as pathetic as you two youngsters?"

Li Yifei had gone down to do an inspection when he arrived at the company, so he hadn’t grown too familiar with the three from the logistics department yet. But listening to the trio chatting, seemingly never straying from the topic of beauties, he found he hit it off with them pretty well. He chimed in, "A twenty-seven-year-old beauty becoming a director, that’s really impressive."

Li Zhisheng and the other two were not averse to Li Yifei joining the conversation. He Dong immediately said proudly, "Little Li, she is indeed remarkable, but when compared to our President Xu, she falls a bit short. President Xu is only twenty-five this year."

When their talk turned to Xu Yingying, all three men had looks of admiration and reverence in their eyes, without any hint of lecherous thoughts or expressions. It was evident how highly respected Xu Yingying was in the company.

At that moment, Zheng Xiuqin walked in, and everyone promptly fell silent. Zheng Xiuqin directly said to Michelle, "Michelle, go to the 14th floor and set up the financial director’s office. Also, ask if the director has any special requirements, so we can arrange everything for her. Little Li, help Michelle with this."

Michelle and Li Yifei promptly responded, and Zheng Xiuqin immediately left. Chen Fei then gave Li Yifei an envious look, "Little Li, you’ll get to see the new director soon. Remember to come back and tell them about it, so they don’t accuse me of bragging."

Li Yifei grinned, "Sure, sure, I’ll see if I can get a chance to take a photo of her."

The three men laughed lecherously, and Li Yifei really seemed to have become an integrated part of their group.

He and Michelle made their way to the 14th floor, where the third office was meant for the financial director. It still lacked any signage. They knocked on the door, and a woman’s pleasant voice came from inside, "Come in."

On hearing the voice, Li Yifei felt his heart skip a beat. The woman’s voice sounded vaguely familiar. As he recalled, his face turned incredibly odd. He hadn’t expected it to be her...
