Chapter 42: Chapter 41 Gluttony

Li Yifei quickly chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, I’m always working hard, and I absolutely have not used your name."

Xu Yingying gave Li Yifei a cold stare, then turned to Michelle, saying, "Michelle, what’s wrong with you?"

Michelle hesitated, afraid to speak, but Shen Yajuan immediately said, "President Shen, just now Minister Zhao called Michelle over, and then tried to take liberties with her, so Little Li went over to help her. Minister Zhao really went too far. How can we work like this?"

Shen Yajuan had long been simmering with resentment, but she seldom had the opportunity to complain. Today, with Xu Yingying coming to the logistics department, she spilt everything about Zhao Qingsheng’s indecent actions like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

Xu Yingying’s expression grew darker as she listened, and once Shen Yajuan finished speaking, she said at once, "Don’t worry, I will give you all an explanation." Then she walked out of the office, and the rapid tapping of her high heels on the floor was enough to show how angry she was.

Then the sound of the door to the Deputy Minister’s office next door opening and closing could be heard, but no one heard what Xu Yingying said inside.

Shen Yajuan clenched her fist in excitement, saying, "That was so satisfying. This time President Xu will definitely take care of that bastard. It would be best if she just kicked him out of the company."

At this point, Michelle’s mood also improved, knowing that President Xu had stood up for her. She felt less aggrieved, mainly because she hadn’t suffered too much.

About ten minutes later, Xu Yingying came out and re-entered the logistics department, saying, "Michelle, rest assured, he won’t dare to do it again."

Michelle quickly said, "Thank you, President Xu."

Xu Yingying said with remorse, "Don’t thank me; I should be the one saying sorry. It’s my fault that my employees cannot work properly in the company because of these things. Going forward, I will have Minister Zheng establish a proper office system, under your logistics department’s management. If any harassment occurs again, no matter who is involved, I will fire them right away."

Li Yifei immediately asked, "So, you’re not going to fire that guy this time?"

Xu Yingying frowned slightly, and said, "Currently there’s no specific policy in place, so firing him wouldn’t be justifiable." However, she felt somewhat frustrated inside. In truth, she wanted to fire Zhao Qingsheng immediately, but he had a very strong backer, and she really couldn’t dismiss him right now.

Xu Yingying deeply loathed such people, yet she was managing a company that was nearly worth a hundred million in assets. She had to consider all aspects, and some things weren’t as simple as how she wished to handle them. It was a helpless situation for Xu Yingying.

After Xu Yingying left, the three started packing up to leave work, while Zhao Qingsheng came in, his face ashen, looking at Li Yifei with venom, "Kid, you’ve got guts. We’ll see about this."

Li Yifei, however, acted as if he hadn’t heard Zhao Qingsheng speak and continued to pack his things, then said to Shen Yajuan and Michelle, "Sister Shen, Michelle, let’s go."

By ignoring Zhao Qingsheng, Li Yifei was not only disregarding him, but it was also a naked contempt. Zhao Qingsheng’s face grew even more unsightly as he ground his teeth and said, "You just wait, kid. If I don’t drive you out of the company within a month, my last name isn’t Zhao." After saying this, he stormed off furiously.

At that moment, Michelle immediately expressed her concern, "Brother Li, what are we going to do now?"

Li Yifei smiled lightly and said, "This company isn’t his, why worry? If he wants to drive me out, he’s got a long wait ahead of him."

"Are you really sure it’s nothing?" Michelle asked, somewhat incredulously.

"Of course, it’s nothing. Let’s go. Don’t forget, President Xu is the boss of this company. If you don’t have confidence in others, can you really lack confidence in President Xu? As long as I work diligently, President Xu definitely won’t let him succeed."

With the mention of Xu Yingying, both Michelle and Shen Yajuan felt reassured. In the company, President Xu was the backbone. It was unheard of for a well-performing employee to be forced to leave.

When Li Yifei got home and was about to open his door, he remembered the promise he made to the flight attendant and knocked on the neighboring door first. After several knocks with no response from inside, he concluded that she was not at home and went back to his apartment to tidy up and start preparing dinner.

No sooner had the meal been prepared than there was a knock at the door. Li Yifei went to answer it and saw the flight attendant neighbor, though today she wasn’t in uniform. Instead, she was wearing a beige sweater and a pair of jeans, the sweater straining noticeably across her chest, clearly well-endowed. Judging by the look, they must have been at least a D-cup.

"Wow, that smells amazing!" Instead of addressing the matter at hand, the flight attendant sniffed sharply, her expression one of longing.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile and said, "I just finished making dinner; do you want to come in and have some?"

"Would that be alright?" the flight attendant seemed embarrassed but clearly enticed by the prospect of a meal.

Li Yifei found it even more amusing, considering that the flight attendant had been very wary of him the day before, whereas today, the offer of food had significantly lowered her guard. He stepped aside and said, "Then come and join me. I think there’s enough for two."

The flight attendant still appeared somewhat sheepish but followed him inside. Li Yifei got her a pair of slippers, saying, "Aren’t you afraid I might have ulterior motives, just casually coming into my place like this?"

The flight attendant stiffened for a moment, then stuck her tongue out playfully, replying, "Whoever has ulterior motives wouldn’t say it outright. I feel like you, Brother Li, are a good person."

Li Yifei laughed heartily and said, "Then you’re mistaken; I am a bad person."

"I don’t believe that. A bad person would never admit they’re bad." While she spoke, she slipped on the slippers and asked, "Brother Li, isn’t your wife at home?"

"I live alone; I’m not married," Li Yifei replied offhandedly as he made his way to the dining table.

"Then how come there are women’s slippers here?"

"These slippers were left by the previous owner, I just didn’t throw them away."

"Oh..." The air stewardess walked over to the dining table at that moment, and Li Yifei served her some rice. He said, "Eat."

"Wow, so much delicious food, Brother Li you’re amazing, you even know how to cook." The air stewardess picked up her chopsticks and immediately started eating without reservation, and her eating speed was incredibly fast.

Li Yifei was taken aback by the air stewardess and couldn’t help but say, "Have you not eaten for days?"

The stewardess paused, tilted her head, and said, "Seems like it’s been two days."

"Two days?" Li Yifei was flabbergasted by her response.

"Yeah, I’ve been living on instant noodles these past two days."

Li Yifei was immediately covered in a cold sweat, so the air stewardess’s reference to not eating didn’t include instant noodles.

"By the way, Brother Li, what should I call you?" The stewardess finished a bowl of rice, and after Li Yifei refilled her bowl, she slowed down her eating and looked up at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei smiled and said, "My name is Li Yifei, and I think I’ve told you once already."

"Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention then." The stewardess stuck out her tongue and said, "My name is Meng Xiaofei."

"Hmm, that’s a nice name."

"Hehe, it seems like every man who hears my name says that it’s nice, but I really can’t see what’s so good about it."

Li Yifei broke into a sweat and said, "I guess everyone thinks you’re pretty, so they feel the need to compliment you."

Meng Xiaofei smiled shyly and said, "I didn’t want to look like this either, but there’s nothing I can do about it."

Meng Xiaofei’s remarks were always a pleasant surprise to Li Yifei, and he found it rather amusing. He said, "What’s so bad about being beautiful? Nowadays many people go for plastic surgery just to look beautiful."

Meng Xiaofei pouted and said, "If you’re beautiful, a lot of people want to take advantage of you. I’d rather be an ugly monster, then no one would care about me and I could do whatever I want."

Li Yifei actually gained a new respect for Meng Xiaofei; the girl actually had such a mindset. This meant she was not a person greedy for vanity. Perhaps that’s why she was an air stewardess despite being so beautiful.

In a short while, the three dishes on the table had been completely devoured by the two of them. The food that was originally enough for only Li Yifei’s meal, he had offered some to Meng Xiaofei out of politeness, not expecting her to actually come and eat, and consume a lot at that. She had eaten more than half of the food, so Li Yifei was only three parts full.

"Brother Li, you eat so little, even less than me," Meng Xiaofei said, shaking her head after finishing her meal.

Li Yifei was somewhat speechless; after all, he hadn’t eaten his fill, but he couldn’t be bothered to mention it and stood up saying, "Let’s go, I’ll go help you with the nails to avoid being kept awake again in the middle of the night."

"Hehe, thank you, Brother Li." Meng Xiaofei playfully stuck out her tongue at Li Yifei, then ran ahead to change her shoes and left to open her apartment door.

Li Yifei followed her into her apartment, which was larger than his own with a two-bedroom and one-living-room layout, unlike Li Yifei’s which had only one bedroom. As soon as he entered, Li Yifei only had one feeling: "messy".

The living room sofa was scattered with clothes here and there, the coffee table was cluttered with a bunch of snacks and such, and there were even some nails on the floor.

"Is it just you living here?" Li Yifei asked in confusion as he entered.

"Yes, what’s up?" Meng Xiaofei replied breezily.

Li Yifei motioned to the living room and said, "It looks like you live with a dozen people."

Meng Xiaofei immediately felt embarrassed, stuck out her tongue, and said, "I just cleaned it up."

Li Yifei was instantly engulfed in an imaginary heap of dark clouds; this was after cleaning up? If it had been left unattended, the apartment would have been a complete disaster.

However, Li Yifei had no right to judge Meng Xiaofei’s lifestyle. He picked up some nails from the floor and asked, "Where’s the hammer?"

"Don’t have one."

"What did you use to hammer the nails yesterday?"

"This." Meng Xiaofei pulled out a candy box that was full of dents.

Li Yifei’s eyes widened, his mouth twitched twice, and he said, "I’ll go back to get some tools," then turned and walked out. No wonder this girl spent half of last night hammering; using a candy box to drive nails is pointless. It was a good thing he came to help her, otherwise, he’d never get any sleep.
