Chapter 761: Chapter 799 Big Trouble is Here

Li Yifei returned to the Security Department. Unlike other departments in the company, the people here weren’t as tense, and everyone was chatting and laughing. Meng Lei, however, was keeping a straight face, clad in his brand-new security uniform, standing upright to one side.

When they saw Li Yifei come in, everyone greeted him. Li Yifei took out a pack of cigarettes, gave one to each person, and finally handed one to Meng Lei as well, saying with a smile, "Little Lei, you don’t have to be so tense. We in the Security Department are all brothers."

"Manager Li, do you know Meng Lei?" One of the security guards, quick on the uptake, heard the underlying meaning in the single sentence exchange between Li Yifei and Meng Lei.

Li Yifei laughed, "Of course I know him. He’s my cousin. How could I not recognize him?"

"Ah! So he’s Manager Li’s cousin. Little Lei, you should’ve said something earlier, making us the butt of the joke."

"Exactly, exactly. Little Lei, from now on, you’re our own flesh and blood. Let’s go out for drinks together tonight."

Watching these security guards sucking up to Meng Lei, Li Yifei couldn’t help but burst into laughter, saying, "Enough with the nonsense. Little Lei, just work well here. Although you can’t bully others just because I’m here, you also don’t have to be afraid of these guys."

Meng Lei rubbed his head but immediately lowered his arm again, for fear of wrinkling his new uniform. Although it was just a security guard’s uniform, to Meng Lei, it was no less significant than a police uniform. Being a security guard might not sound very glamorous, but it was a big company after all. The Human Resources Department had said that the salary was just over 3000 a month. He was afraid of not doing well here and missing out on that high salary.

Seeing Meng Lei still so stiff, Li Yifei arranged for someone to take him to get acquainted with the company’s work. As for these three relatives, Li Yifei didn’t feel any pressure. As the older cousin, he should try his best to help them. He had lost his parents and could no longer show filial piety, but by helping his cousins, it was also a way of honoring his aunts.

After sorting out things on this side, Li Yifei returned to his own office. Thinking about what Zhou Boyu said, he called Su Mengxin.

The call was quickly answered, and Su Mengxin’s voice, so sweet it could melt one’s heart, came through from the other side, "Yifei."

It was just a simple name, but it made Li Yifei indescribably comfortable. With a smile he said, "I was missing you, so I gave you a call."

"Wow, such sweet talk. You must be on your own," Su Mengxin laughed lightly, then said softly, "I missed you too."

After exchanging a few sweet nothings, Li Yifei asked, "Mengxin, have you encountered some trouble over there?"

Su Mengxin said casually, "It’s nothing big, just that my relationship with you has become known to my family, and there’s been some gossip in Capital City."

Li Yifei, full of concern, said, "Then you must be under a lot of pressure."

"It’s not a big deal. I want to be with the person I love, and what others say doesn’t matter."

Su Mengxin sounded relaxed, but Li Yifei knew just how much pressure Su Mengxin was under. As the most important new generation member of the Su Family, the Old Master Su’s expectations for Su Mengxin could only be imagined. And now, Su Mengxin was involved with a married man like him. The family’s objections were expected, and that old man from the Su Family was downright perverse. Knowing this matter, one could only imagine how upset he’d be.

"Mengxin, you really are suffering," Li Yifei said, even more troubled.

"Don’t worry about me, I’m really okay, but there is indeed a bit of trouble now."

"What kind of trouble?" Li Yifei asked immediately.

"Those three troublemaking friends of mine are now out for you."

When Li Yifei heard that, he instantly felt uneasy, asking anxiously, "When are they coming?"

"They’re so zealous they’d like to head over right now. But I’m busy these next couple of days and can’t make it. It’s likely they’ll sneak over, possibly today or tomorrow."

Li Yifei’s face darkened, "That’s bad. I always feel so nervous with them around."

Su Mengxin giggled, "I can’t do much about it. When those three go crazy, even I get bullied. I can only silently support you from here."

"Hey, hey, you can’t just wash your hands of the matter," Li Yifei hurriedly protested.

Su Mengxin laughed even more happily, "You’ve taken advantage of all three of them, and when they come to settle the score with you, how can I help? But you don’t need to be afraid. They’re just curious about the situation, not like others who might imagine something different. Just make sure they don’t go looking for Yingying, that’s all."

Li Yifei glanced casually out the window at that moment, and from his office, he could see the lobby on the first floor. Just that casual glance made the hair on his body stand on end, so he quickly said, "They’ve already arrived, I’m going to hang up now."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yifei dashed out of his office like an arrow. Wang Qiang was blocking Su Mengfei, Zheng Yuling, and Xiao Ling’er, insisting they register. These three women were not only beautiful but also clearly of high birth and imposing. With Wang Qiang breaking out into a sweat, they refused to register and insisted on barging in. He was in a bind, unsure whether to stop them or let them through.

Just then, Li Yifei came over and relieved Wang Qiang of his dilemma, saying hastily, "Manager Li, these three ladies won’t register but want to see President Xu inside the company."

Li Yifei cleared his throat and said, "I’ll handle this matter. You go do something else."

Wang Qiang, as if granted amnesty, dashed away at once. Sure, beauties were nice to look at, but he could tell these were not the kind to be easily served. It was best to make a swift exit.

"Hehe, long time no see," Li Yifei greeted the three with a guilty conscience.

Yet all three of them had stern faces, hands crossed over their chests, looking down on Li Yifei with an air of superiority. Even without speaking, they unnerved Li Yifei even more.

Li Yifei coughed again and said, "Ladies, your long journey to Mile City is a great honor indeed. How about I take you out to eat?"

Su Mengfei snorted and said, "No need. We’re just here to see the renowned President Xu."

Li Yifei broke out into a cold sweat and said hurriedly, "President Xu is out and not in the company right now. We can see her another time."

Xiao Ling’er tilted her slightly sharp chin and said, "What’s the matter? Afraid of us seeing her? We really want to see what kind of person she is that you would marry her, and to have our Mengxin be your mistress."

Li Yifei jumped in surprise. With people coming and going in the lobby, his interaction with the three beauties had already attracted plenty of attention. If others overheard, he would be in even more trouble. He quickly stepped forward, a pained expression on his face, and said, "Ladies, please spare me. Whatever your terms may be, just say them. I will certainly fulfill them."

Zheng Yuling shook her head and said, "Don’t even think about it. You probably thought a small favor would buy us off, looking down on me."

"Exactly, that’s absolutely not happening. There’s no way you can buy us off. We want to see your wife and have a word with her," said Xia Ling’er, glaring fiercely at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei said anxiously, "Stop, stop. There’s nothing worth seeing about my wife. Let’s go, shall we? I’m begging you."

"No way!" All three of them shook their heads together.

"My dear ladies, tell me, what exactly do you want for you to leave this place?" Li Yifei asked through gritted teeth, staring at them.

The majority in the lobby were colleagues passing by, their pace markedly slower than usual. From Dreamfly Company’s opening to now, no one had come to make trouble like this. And these three women were clearly here for just that — and they were beauties, obviously tough customers, with even Li Yifei, the security department manager, bowing and scraping.

However, no one thought these three beauties could cause much of a stir; they just wanted to see what would happen. Of course, they were also curious about what the beauties were there for.

Seeing Li Yifei in this state, Su Mengfei and the others couldn’t help but reveal smug smiles. Xiao Ling’er walked over to Li Yifei’s side, stretched out her right arm, and draped it over Li Yifei’s shoulder. She blinked her eyes and said coquettishly, "You said it yourself just now; whatever we ask you to do, you have to agree."

All Li Yifei could think about was how to get these three ancestors out. He nodded hurriedly, "Yes, as long as it’s within my power, I’ll agree to anything you ask." But he was cautious not to overpromise, in case these grand ladies wanted to take him to see Xu Yingying, which was absolutely a no-go.

"You’re a sly one, but don’t worry. The things we’re going to ask you to do, you will definitely be able to do," Xiao Ling’er blinked again.

Li Yifei felt a great unease, his back growing cold. He had already experienced the wild troubles caused by these three girls when they got rowdy. The tasks they would have him do were bound to be anything but easy. He couldn’t trust Xiao Ling’er’s words.

Zheng Yuling walked to Li Yifei’s other side and looped her arm around his, leaning her head against his shoulder, she said, "Well then, let’s go."

Li Yifei’s eyes widened in shock, and he said urgently, "Ladies, can we not be so intimate?"

Xiao Ling’er twisted her body, suddenly jumping up and wrapping her arms around Li Yifei’s neck, essentially climbing onto his back. She blew into his ear and said, "We were much more intimate than this last time, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten?"

With a light laugh, Su Mengxin joined Li Yifei on his other arm, pinching him first, then said with a smile, "Let’s go, my dear cousin-in-law."

Li Yifei could easily have shaken them off, but he dared not. If he really did shake them off, he would undoubtedly be in even bigger trouble. Even so, he was already in enough trouble at the moment with so many onlookers. It was sure to reach Xu Yingying’s ears. Oh my, this was like playing with fire.
