Chapter 38: Chapter 37 Supervisor

Flight attendants are typically tall, and the one before me was no exception. At this moment, she was wearing black high heels, standing over 170cm tall. Flight attendants usually have attractive figures, and she was certainly no different, if not even more so. Dressed in her uniform, she seemed to elevate the already admired image of an air hostess to new heights.

Her face had that round shape, with delicate features perfectly proportioned. Perhaps her eyes, her nose, or her mouth were not the most perfect individually—her lips even slightly plump—but together they made up an incredibly beautiful visage. The slight fullness of her lips only added to her sex appeal.

However, the flight attendant was looking at me with strong caution, stepping back and hiding behind her suitcase.

Li Yifei held up the groceries he was carrying and said, "I live in this unit, the middle apartment on the sixteenth floor. I’m sorry, but this is truly the first time I’ve seen such a beautiful flight attendant, and I couldn’t help but stare. Please don’t take it the wrong way."

Although she was beautiful, Li Yifei immediately realized she wasn’t his type. So beautiful and still working as a flight attendant suggested that this girl was still quite innocent, and not the easygoing type. Thus, she was only to be admired from a distance. With his thoughts at ease, he spoke to the flight attendant with extreme ease.

"Ah? You also live on the sixteenth floor?" The flight attendant suddenly widened her eyes at Li Yifei, yet remained very wary of him.

Li Yifei laughed and said, "I heard someone next door just yesterday. So it was you, huh? Hello, neighbor, my name is Li Yifei."

"I... I didn’t say I live on the sixteenth floor! Are you spying on me?" The flight attendant took another step back, her hands defensively in front of her chest.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile and said, "Did you just use the word ’also’? Doesn’t that mean you live on the sixteenth floor too? And since I’ve never seen you in this unit before, it must mean you’re also a new resident of the sixteenth floor."

"Oh..." The flight attendant seemed to relax a little, but still kept her distance from Li Yifei.

Li Yifei shook his head, reached out to take her suitcase, stepped up the stairs, and then set it down, saying, "It’s flat inside, you can just drag it, right?" Then he walked straight into the building.

"Ah! Thank you!" It was not until she entered the elevator that Li Yifei heard the flight attendant’s thanks, but he didn’t wait for her. Since she was wary of him, it wasn’t his place to bother her further.

No sooner had Li Yifei entered his home than his phone rang. It was a completely unfamiliar number. After answering, a woman’s voice came through, "Are you... Li Yifei?"

He Fangqing—Li Yifei instantly recognized the voice and a smile appeared on his face. Having encountered He Fangqing today, he knew she would be restless and was bound to contact him in the evening, although he had not expected her to be so anxious he said, "Director He, it’s me. What can I do for you?"

"Umm, do you have time today? I’d like to talk to you."

"I’m about to cook dinner, maybe later."

"I’ll treat you to dinner."

"Alright then, where shall we meet?"

"At Shenghua Garden, near Xinhua Road. I’ve already reserved a spot, in the Second floor Flower Hall."

"Okay, I’ll be right there."

Li Yifei carelessly placed the groceries on the shoe rack, then opened the door and walked out. By coincidence, the elevator stopped on his floor just as he was leaving, and the flight attendant was struggling to pull her suitcase out.

Li Yifei gave the flight attendant a smile, entered the elevator without saying another word, and the flight attendant returned the gesture with a smile of her own. She wanted to speak to Li Yifei, but the elevator doors had already closed.

"Really now, not even offering to help, some neighbor he is." The beautiful flight attendant pouted slightly and muttered under her breath then carried on dragging her suitcase with difficulty toward her apartment door, completely overlooking the cautiousness she had shown towards Li Yifei that had led to his aloofness.

Twenty minutes later, Li Yifei arrived at Shenghua Garden. It wasn’t particularly upscale but was a rather quiet and elegant restaurant. Guided by a server, he made his way directly to the Flower Hall.

Upon entering the private room, he saw He Fangqing sitting on the sofa, her expression tensing up and greeting him rather stiffly, then ordering the server to bring the dishes, leaving just the two of them in the room.

"Director He, for someone as important as you to invite a low-level employee like me to dinner is truly an honor," Li Yifei said, grinning as he sat at the dining table, which was meant for ten but now accommodated only two, a somewhat lavish setting.

When He Fangqing heard Li Yifei say this, a chill ran through her—Li Yifei had highlighted her position as a director and his as a mere employee, suggesting he had nothing to lose, unlike those with something at stake. She realized that such people were difficult to deal with, unlike those who had backgrounds and thus their own concerns.

Although He Fangqing had already anticipated various reactions from Li Yifei before he arrived, and Li Yifei’s current reaction was within her expectations, she was still somewhat nervous when she actually faced him, considering she was at his mercy.

Attempting to muster a smile, He Fangqing said, "I’m pretty much in the same boat as you, just someone else’s employee."

"Director He, you must be joking, you’re a director, and a formidable one at that," said Li Yifei. "You make a lot, and there must be so many people in the company trying to curry favor with you. Not like me, a total newbie, anyone can step on me twice."

"If you encounter any difficulties at work in the future, you can come to me," He Fangqing hurriedly said. "I will certainly do my best to help you."

"How could I impose like that? If you take such care of me, won’t it make others think there’s something between us?" Li Yifei said as he winked at He Fangqing.

He Fangqing was immediately thrown into disarray. Her relationship with Li Yifei was her Achilles’ heel. If others found out about her relationship with Li Yifei, she would no longer be able to face working at the company.

At this moment, the waiter knocked and came in, and the dishes were brought in like a flowing stream. Soon, six dishes were served, and red wine was poured for the two of them before the waiter left.

In the short span of time, He Fangqing had also adjusted her nervousness about seeing Li Yifei, and with a smile, she said, "Please eat. I’m not sure if these dishes suit your taste. If you don’t like them, we can order something else."

"No need. For just the two of us, this is already more than enough," Li Yifei said, appearing very comfortable since the moment he came in, as if nothing had ever happened between him and He Fangqing, showing none of the respect one normally sees when meeting a leader.

This was what made He Fangqing feel that Li Yifei was difficult to handle. Watching him eat and drink his fill, while she could barely swallow a bite, only picking at her food symbolically, she waited until Li Yifei had almost finished eating before she looked at him and slowly said, "You should know why I asked you to come, right?"

"I know," Li Yifei wiped his mouth, "President Xu has taken a liking to me and wants to keep me for herself."

He Fangqing’s eyebrows furrowed immediately. If anyone else in the company had spoken to her so frivolously, she would have turned hostile on the spot, but facing Li Yifei, she didn’t dare lose her temper.

"Director He, don’t be mad, I’m just joking with you," Li Yifei said as he took out a cigarette and lit one up. He didn’t often smoke, but he did enjoy a smoke when he had nothing else to do.

Taking a deep breath, He Fangqing said, "That’s right, that’s what I meant. Whatever your conditions are, you can bring them up. As long as it is within my ability, I will fulfill your request. But I’ll also tell you that although I’m a director and used to work at the headquarters, I just bought a house last year and don’t have any savings. I hope you don’t get too greedy."

Li Yifei took a satisfying drag from his cigarette and looked at He Fangqing with a smile, "Director Xu, starting with the poor-mouth act so soon?"

"That’s really the case. I do want to shut you up, but I am indeed limited in what I can do. If you ask for too much, I really won’t be able to comply. I might as well just quit and find another company to start over. Besides, with my abilities, changing jobs isn’t such a difficult task."

Seeing He Fangqing continue to negotiate with him in this way, playing the poor-mouth and being fierce, Li Yifei found it quite amusing. Usually, after a one-night stand, men fear the woman getting clingy, but now, he was dealing with someone who feared him becoming clingy, and he could also benefit greatly from it.

"So, what do you want?" He Fangqing saw that Li Yifei wasn’t speaking and felt even more uncertain, but she still tried to appear very assured as she asked.

Li Yifei looked at He Fangqing and shook his head, "Sorry, but I don’t want your money."

He Fangqing’s face changed immediately. Those who are shameless are the most difficult to deal with, and in fact, what she hoped for most was that Li Yifei would just ask for money.

"Then what do you want?" He Fangqing asked in as calm a tone as she could manage.

Suddenly, Li Yifei stood up and walked directly to He Fangqing, leaning over her, looking down from a superior position. He Fangqing leaned back slightly, looking up at Li Yifei. This posture made her feel uncomfortable, as if she were being oppressed by Li Yifei and left her feeling passive. Wanting to stand up but not wishing to bump into Li Yifei, she was forced to maintain this stance.

Li Yifei sniffed lightly, appearing quite unscrupulous as he said with a grin, "Director He, to be honest, I want to tell you that you’re truly enchanting. I’ve been reminiscing over the madness of that night for several days."

He Fangqing’s face turned red. She, too, had been reminiscing, but after seeing Li Yifei again, she no longer had the mood for it. Clenching her fist, she managed a tight-lipped expression and said, "I want you to forget that incident. Name your condition."

Li Yifei chuckled, "Alright, I’ll state one condition. If you agree to it, I’ll keep this matter to myself forever, never breathing a word of it to a third person."

He Fangqing quickly said, "Tell me."

Li Yifei revealed a rather sleazy smile, "Heh, my condition is... let’s just keep this relationship going."
