Chapter 40: Chapter 39 Elevator

In the elevator, aside from Li Yifei, Xu Yingying, and He Fangqing, there were no other Huayang Company employees left, so naturally Li Yifei stood together with the two women. Initially, the three of them kept their distance from one another.

Even if the elevator were at full capacity, they wouldn’t be able to get too close, since the elevator has a maximum weight limit and would sound an alarm and not start if overweight. But today was an exception; someone actually brought two large boxes inside. The boxes weren’t heavy, but their size was equivalent to that of four people, so the already crowded elevator became exceedingly cramped.

As the elevator doors closed, Li Yifei had no choice but to squeeze in with the others. He Fangqing and Xu Yingying were both against the elevator walls, so Li Yifei could only lean against one of them. Naturally, he chose He Fangqing, since they’d shared a night of passion before, making such contact not out of the ordinary.

He had actually shared a bed and embraced Xu Yingying as well, but his relationship with her was not as intimate--they were just involved for mutual benefits. If he happened to have physical contact with Xu Yingying at this moment, she might very well fly into a rage.

The moment he leaned against He Fangqing, Li Yifei felt her body stiffen, but he really had no choice; the elevator space was limited, leaving no other options.

Even though He Fangqing knew that Li Yifei had no alternative, being in such close contact with him involuntarily brought back memories of their night of ecstasy. She had been quite drunk that night, but the vigorous activity soon sobered her, and she remembered everything clearly afterward. Li Yifei had been so strong, bringing her so much pleasure, how could she easily forget?

And with such thoughts, He Fangqing felt utterly weakened, as if she couldn’t even stand properly, and naturally leaned into Li Yifei’s embrace.

Li Yifei was acutely aware of He Fangqing’s reaction and was somewhat at a loss for words. If things got out of hand here, despite her insistent pleas to forget that night and never mention it again, just this slight bodily contact had made He Fangqing throw herself into his arms willingly.

Moreover, her body was very warm, clearly aroused. This was happening inside an elevator—should she become aroused, at least choose somewhere private so he could play along. But now, it was under the watchful eyes of everyone, and with President Xu keeping an eye on them, Li Yifei was sure he would be kicked out of the company should he dare to make a move.

At that moment, Xu Yingying noticed Li Yifei standing right behind He Fangqing and saw that He Fangqing looked a bit odd. However, she didn’t think too much about it and asked with concern, "Director He, are you all right?"

He Fangqing hurriedly shook her head, saying, "I just feel a bit dizzy from the elevator starting up. Maybe I’m not yet accustomed to this elevator."

That was a good excuse since some elevators ascend rapidly, causing discomfort to some people, but Xu Yingying didn’t dwell on it any further.

Li Yifei, however, couldn’t help sneering inwardly, thinking how good He Fangqing was at spinning tales. But after making up such an excuse, she could have at least kept her distance.

The elevator stopped at the fourth floor, and a person got off. Before Li Yifei and He Fangqing could create some space between them, someone else entered. Early in the morning just after the start of work, he wondered what the new person was up to.

Especially since this new arrival was a rather large individual with a belly that looked like that of a woman seven or eight months pregnant. When he squeezed in, the elevator became even more cramped.

He Fangqing was quite tall, and she wore high heels, plus she was the kind of woman with long legs. That night they were together, those long legs had been tightly wrapped around Li Yifei’s waist, a sensation he found unforgettable.

Because of He Fangqing’s long legs, Li Yifei’s restless body part ended up right between her buttocks, leaving Li Yifei feeling a bit unnerved. This was not intentional; the close proximity was completely caused by the external environment. If he didn’t react at all, it would indicate He Fangqing had no allure.

As a married woman, He Fangqing was not naive about such matters. With something hard pressing against her from behind, her first reaction was panic, fearing what others would think if they noticed.

Her heart raced uncontrollably. Pretending to adjust her hair and glancing around, she felt relieved to see that no one seemed to be paying them any attention, even Xu Yingying appeared to be looking normally at the elevator display, not at her.

He Fangqing was inwardly cursing Li Yifei for having such inappropriate thoughts at such a time; it was embarrassing for her.

Despite internal scolding, He Fangqing felt an unusual thrill, a longing for Li Yifei to make a move, even recalling their previous encounter. Her legs felt so weak that if not for being squeezed by the crowd, she might have slumped to the floor.

When the elevator reached the eighth floor, a few people got off, including the person with the boxes, which made the elevator much more spacious. Li Yifei quickly stepped back, but He Fangqing’s body leaned back again. He quickly reached out to support her, pretending to be caring as he said, "Director He, are you sure you’re okay?"

"I’m fine, I’m fine," replied He Fangqing, her face flushed as she straightened up. "I really don’t seem to get along with this elevator."

Xu Yingying looked at He Fangqing curiously but didn’t think too much about it. She had never experienced anything like this and so did not realize that He Fangqing was acting this way because of Li Yifei.

When they reached the twelfth floor, Li Yifei quickly nodded to Xu Yingying and then hastily exited the elevator. He Fangqing noticed that the rascal had his hands in his pockets as he left, so though his pants were bulging, no one would pay it any mind. She breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that if anyone saw Li Yifei’s "tent," they would definitely link it to what had just transpired between them.

Upon reaching the 14th floor, He Fangqing stepped out of the elevator with the intention of exiting alongside Xu Yingying, but her body swayed, and she nearly stumbled. Her legs were still weak.

Xu Yingying quickly steadied He Fangqing and asked with concern, "Director He, you don’t seem well today. Why don’t you rest for a bit? I can have the driver take you to the hospital for a check-up, and you can leave the work for now."

He Fangqing hastily replied, "I’m fine, I’m fine. I’ll be okay once the elevator stops."

After they exited the elevator, Xu Yingying still looked worriedly at He Fangqing, who smiled and said, "See, I’m really fine now. Thank you for your concern, President Xu."

Xu Yingying saw that He Fangqing was walking normally and nodded, saying, "Still, your health is important. If there’s anything you need, feel free to tell me."

"Alright, I’ll get myself together first, then head to President Xu’s office later."

He Fangqing returned to her own office and sat down. Her cheeks were still warm. What was happening to her? Li Yifei had taken advantage of her, yet she didn’t feel angry. Moreover, it was Li Yifei who almost embarrassed himself, so why was she also worried? Did she owe him something?

"Damn jerk, wait and see. You almost made me embarrass myself; I won’t let this go," she muttered.

Right then, He Fangqing began to intensely dislike Li Yifei once again and even thought about how to get back at him. Women’s thoughts are indeed strange. She was very afraid of Li Yifei just yesterday, yet now she was thinking of revenge. If Li Yifei found out, he would surely be frustrated.

Li Yifei did not immediately go to the office but first went to the restroom to smoke a cigarette, which helped calm down his excitement. His mind, however, kept replaying that thrilling moment. No wonder some perverts turn into bus molesters; the thrill was indeed very intense, especially when coupled with a beautiful woman and her cooperation. Of course, he wouldn’t have been able to enjoy it if it were Xu Yingying.

But what exactly was He Fangqing’s intention? Could it be that she wanted to have some more fun with no strings attached? Li Yifei could consider that. A married woman like her had a certain appeal, and he wouldn’t have to take any responsibility. That was something Li Yifei quite liked.

That morning, Li Yifei was still familiarizing himself with the logistics department’s work. Michelle was very helpful, and within half a day, Li Yifei had gained a comprehensive understanding of the department. At least now he knew what he should do, unlike when he first arrived, when Michelle had to help with everything.

Just before closing time, a man entered the office. He was in his forties, slightly overweight, somewhat balding, and greasy-faced. He directly said to Michelle, "Michelle, come to my office." After speaking, he walked out.

At this moment, Michelle’s expression turned very ugly. Shen Yajuan, who was still in the office, spat out in contempt, "That bastard. Be careful, Michelle."

Reluctantly standing up, Michelle said, "I know, but he’s the Deputy Minister. What can I do?"

Shen Yajuan snorted and advised, "Just don’t get too close to him when you’re in there, and don’t close the door. If something happens, shout. He’s the type who only bullies the timid. The weaker you appear, the more he’ll push you around."

"Okay," Michelle nodded, then adjusted her clothing, looking as if she was headed for the gallows.

After Michelle left, Li Yifei whispered to Sister Shen, "Who was that guy just now?"

"He’s Deputy Minister Zhao QingSheng of our logistics department, a real sleazebag," Shen Yajuan said resentfully. "He throws his weight around because he has connections upstairs. The jerk also has a penchant for young beauties, always aiming for Michelle."

Li Yifei frowned and asked, "But he wouldn’t dare to do anything inappropriate in the company, right?"

Shen Yajuan replied with disdain, "Sure, he wouldn’t dare to go too far, but he’ll take his chances to grope her, and those sorts of scum have ruined the atmosphere in our company."

Li Yifei stood up and said, "Then I’ll go and take a look, make sure Michelle doesn’t suffer."

Sister Shen immediately warned him kindly, "Hey, don’t do anything rash. That guy holds grudges. If you offend him, he’ll definitely cause trouble for you. Besides, he can’t do much to Michelle in the company, at most he’ll just cop a feel."

Li Yifei grinned and reassured her, "Don’t worry, I won’t be reckless."

Regardless, Michelle had been very helpful to Li Yifei, and he couldn’t just stand by and let her be taken advantage of, especially by a lecherous old man like Deputy Minister Zhao.
