Chapter 568: Chapter 580: On a Business Trip with Michelle

On the flight to North Ocean, Michelle sat shoulder to shoulder with Li Yifei. She looked at him worriedly and said, "Brother Li, are you feeling unwell?"

Li Yifei opened his eyes, which still showed some signs of fatigue. He smiled and said, "It’s nothing, I’m quite alright."

"Look at you, you have no energy at all. You’re not sick, are you?" Michelle resisted the urge to touch Li Yifei’s forehead.

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "I just didn’t sleep well last night."

Yesterday during the day, Li Yifei had a car encounter with Li Xinyue. It was Li Xinyue’s first time being with Li Yifei, and she was extremely excited. Although it didn’t last long, her tenderness was enough to satisfy Li Yifei. At night, when he went to Lin Qiong’s place, she clung to him vengefully, engaging with him several times. If it weren’t for his strong stamina, he wouldn’t have been able to handle it.

But when he got home later that night, considering he would be away for a few days, Xu Yingying, his wife, also had her needs. Even though he had already been involved outside, he couldn’t dare to skip paying his dues at home. Otherwise, it would have looked like he was up to no good outside, so he rose to the occasion and took very good care of Xu Yingying.

As a result, Li Yifei had relations with three different people in a single day. Lin Qiong, in particular, seemed to almost drain him dry. Every time Li Yifei was ready to rest, she would immediately use various methods to get him going again. It was more than Li Yifei could handle. If it weren’t for his extraordinary stamina, he probably wouldn’t have been able to get out of bed at all today.

However, this was something he couldn’t possibly discuss with Lin Qiong.

"Then get some good sleep, and when we arrive at North Ocean, I’ll wake you up," Michelle immediately said considerately, and then asked a flight attendant for a blanket to cover Li Yifei’s legs.

Li Yifei didn’t try to be tough this time. He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep, only to be woken by Michelle when they arrived at North Ocean.

After resting for an hour and a half, Li Yifei’s spirits had recovered quite a bit. At least in Michelle’s eyes, he appeared back to normal, which eased her worries.

At the airport exit, someone was holding a sign with the names of Michelle and Li Yifei. They were from a machinery factory in North Ocean. To the factory, Li Yifei and Michelle were significant clients, and naturally, they were given a lot of attention.

The pair who came to receive Michelle and Li Yifei were a man and a woman. The man was the Vice-president of the machinery factory, and the woman was his secretary. This machinery factory had assets over a billion, so the position of Vice-president was not a low one. The fact that they came personally to welcome Michelle and Li Yifei showed significant respect.

The Vice-president, named Qian Wantong, was in his forties, sharp and efficient, and appeared to be very enthusiastic. He led Li Yifei and Michelle to a hotel, and while checking in, he asked with a smile, "Manager Mi, Manager Li, are you booking one room or two?"

Li Yifei and Michelle, a man and a woman together, made it easy for people to sense that their relationship was not shallow. Otherwise, why would the two of them come out together? Besides, with colleagues from the company often engaging in small affairs and taking opportunities during business trips, it was not unusual. Hence, he asked such a question.

Michelle’s face turned bright red, and she quickly said, "Two rooms, two rooms!"

Qian Wantong saw that before Michelle answered, she clearly stole a glance at Li Yifei. She did not seem angry or displeased; she was just shy. It was apparent that there was some relationship between them, but they probably felt uncomfortable admitting it in front of others. He didn’t point it out and laughed, "Then two rooms it is. Our company is not afraid of spending a bit more on hospitality."

The two were given adjacent rooms. Although not presidential suites, they were high-end suites, complete with a private living room outside and the bedroom inside. Moreover, the room facilities were quite luxurious. The cost of staying for one night was definitely not low.

"Rest up for a bit, both of you. We’ve already arranged lunch at noon, and I’ll come pick you up. Our company’s President will also come to welcome you."

Li Yifei and Michelle’s flight was at six in the morning. By the time everything was arranged in the hotel, it was just nine o’clock. It was too early for a meal, so allowing them to rest a bit was very thoughtful.

Li Yifei and Michelle each returned to their own rooms. Li Yifei only brought a few clothes, his belongings were very simple, and he quickly settled in. Then, he sat on the comfortable sofa in the living room and watched TV.

After a while, there was a knock at the door. Li Yifei went to open it, and there was Michelle, smiling and saying, "All settled in?"

"There wasn’t much to settle. There’s nothing to do at this hour. Brother Li, you don’t mind if I come over to chat with you, do you?"

"How could I? Having a beautiful woman like Michelle to chat with me is my honor."

Michelle smiled sweetly and entered the room, while Li Yifei casually closed the door behind her and sat down with her on the sofa.

They said they were going to chat, but now sitting there, both of them fell into silence, seemingly not knowing what to say.

"Brother Li!"

"Michelle!"

A moment later, both of them spoke at the same time, which made them both laugh and broke the awkwardness between them. Li Yifei said with a smile, "You go first."

Michelle pressed her lips together in a smile and said, "It’s my first time going on a business trip with Brother Li, and it’s making me a bit nervous."

Li Yifei laughed, "What’s there to be nervous about? We’re here for work."

"Yeah, but do you think we can succeed this time? I heard their company is very big. I’m afraid they might take advantage of us and not lower the prices."

"Even though their company is not small, ours isn’t small either. With assets of five hundred million, we’re definitely considered a big company as well. We should have confidence."

When the conversation turned to the company, Li Yifei suddenly remembered Su Mengxin. Su Mengxin, with her big investments, was completely hands-off. If it wasn’t for him, he truly couldn’t find any other plausible reason.

"Brother Li, why do you think Boss Su decided to start this company? She’s such an important figure. If she were to start a company, she should do so in a big city. Instead, she went to our Mile City and left it to run itself. I’ve never seen a boss like that."

As Li Yifei was thinking about Su Mengxin, Michelle brought her up. Clearing his throat, he said, "With someone of her status, how she thinks is beyond us. After all, we’re just employees. As long as we get paid, we just need to earn our wages."

Michelle spoke earnestly, "Since Boss Su has entrusted us with so much freedom, we should live up to her expectations. I actually want to achieve some results."

Li Yifei smiled at Michelle, "Michelle, why do you, a girl, have to be so ambitious?"

Meeting Li Yifei’s gaze, Michelle said, "I’m not ambitious. Doesn’t everyone have to work to earn a living? If I’m earning a salary, I naturally want to do my job well. Besides, the company treats us very well, so I have to try even harder. Otherwise, if I don’t perform well and the company doesn’t make money, I won’t have such good benefits, right?"

Michelle hadn’t always been so ambitious; she was just serious about her work. However, after falling for Li Yifei, she started viewing Xu Yingying as her role model. Li Yifei was with Xu Yingying, probably admiring Xu Yingying’s capability. If she had the same abilities, maybe Li Yifei would like her too.

Even though she wanted Li Yifei to like her, she had never thought about making Li Yifei divorce Xu Yingying to be with her. Love isn’t necessarily about possession. Just being able to watch over him quietly, to see the person she loved often, to talk to him from time to time—that was happiness to her. Others may not understand, but that’s what Michelle always believed.

Li Yifei laughed, "Silly girl, you’ve only seen Yingying’s glory. You haven’t seen her hard work. She’s busy with the company all day, and when she gets home, she still has to think about work. She hardly has any free time."

Michelle immediately said, "Doesn’t that mean President Xu doesn’t have much time to spend with you?"

"That’s pretty much it. She works at home and works at the office."

"So, Brother Li, do you have any complaints?"

"Not at all. Since she’s ambitious, I just take more care of the home. I actually like this relaxed lifestyle. If I had to be like you, constantly thinking about work, I couldn’t stand it."

Still focusing on Li Yifei, Michelle said, "But when two people are together, they should have some romantic times like watching movies and eating out, right?"

"This... we actually haven’t watched a movie together. We rarely go out to eat too, haha. They like the food I cook, so most of the time, we eat at home."

"Hmm, I’ve heard Brother Li is a good cook, but I’ve never had a chance to try it. I really hope I can get the chance someday."

"That’s no big deal. Once we’re back and when there’s time, just come over to our place as a guest. I’ll cook for you, I don’t mind one more mouth to feed."

"Really? That would be great!" Michelle immediately exclaimed excitedly, but then she became a bit embarrassed and said, "But wouldn’t that be inappropriate, imposing on the boss’s hospitality? What if President Xu is unhappy about it?"

Li Yifei laughed, "What’s there to be unhappy about? We’ve always had lots of people come over to eat. Whenever Su Mengxin comes to Mile City, she definitely eats at our house. Meng Xiaofei, she probably spends more days eating at our place in a year than she does eating out."

Thinking about his home, it really was a bit like a big dining hall, yet it was always filled with beautiful women. Somehow, he seemed to have a certain affinity with beauties now.
