The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 19 - 19 19 Xu Yingying

19: Chapter 19 Xu Yingying 19: Chapter 19 Xu Yingying As the afternoon neared its end, Lin Fei left the Moongaze Building where Mu Group was located.

This time Lin Fei wasn’t chased away by the women of the General Affairs Department, in fact, although Xiao Yina and others were still resentful of Lin Fei’s previous flirting, as Lin Fei had taught Han Qiming a lesson and stood up for Qin Xiaoyu, the female employees of the General Affairs Department had begun to accept Lin Fei as their new male colleague.

“You’ve got some guts after all, knowing how to uphold the dignity of our General Affairs Department.

If someone like Han Qiming shows up again in the future, just deal with him the way you did today.”

These were Xiao Yina’s exact words and could be considered the consent and expectation of the majority of the female employees in the General Affairs Department toward Lin Fei.

The male to female employee ratio in the General Affairs Department was seriously lopsided, and what’s more, there were quite a few beauties, including the beautiful department head Ling Weiwei, the beautiful supervisor Shen Peini, and the attractive employee Xiao Yina, among others who were also quite good looking.

With such a department, it was hard to ensure it wouldn’t attract the attention of any predatory sleazebags; in fact, before Han Qiming, several men used their status to barge into the General Affairs Department to court love.

This had caused plenty of headaches for the women of the General Affairs Department.

On the surface, Lin Fei’s reprimanding of Han Qiming seemed to be just sticking up for Qin Xiaoyu and solving a problem for Ling Weiwei, but in reality, he was also indirectly standing up for the women of the General Affairs Department.

Of course, not all the women in the General Affairs Department thought Lin Fei did brilliantly; the beautiful department head Ling Weiwei had called Lin Fei over and scolded him, “You really are something, aren’t you?

I just asked you to find a way to get rid of Han Qiming, but how could you actually start hitting someone?!”

“To deal with people like him, you have to hit hard.

Unless he feels pain, he won’t learn his lesson, and you don’t want to be harassed by him forever, do you?”

Lin Fei’s words left Ling Weiwei with no rebuttal.

The incident had already happened, and after all, Lin Fei was her subordinate, so both publicly and privately Ling Weiwei wouldn’t side with an outsider.

“Han Qiming really did wrong, but you shouldn’t have hit him at the company.

His father is a shareholder of the company after all, and he surely won’t let this go so easily.”

“That’s what we have Chief Ling for, isn’t it?

You wouldn’t just watch me get retaliated against by Han Qiming, would you?”

Lin Fei believed his judgment of people was fairly accurate; Ling Weiwei was definitely not the kind of boss who would sacrifice her subordinates when things got rough.

If Ling Weiwei really was that kind of person, Lin Fei wouldn’t regret his actions, considering it as clearing away trash for Mu Shanshan.

Having someone like Han Qiming swaggering around within Mu Group was definitely a potential harm to the company’s internal management and operations.

And as it turned out, Ling Weiwei didn’t disappoint Lin Fei.

She simply instructed Lin Fei to be a bit more careful for the next few days and didn’t delve deeply into the issue of Lin Fei hitting someone.

Instead, she arranged a small office area for Lin Fei as she had promised.

“This woman knows what she’s doing; no wonder she can manage the General Affairs Department so well.”

Ling Weiwei’s protective stance pleased Lin Fei.

One Han Qiming didn’t worry Lin Fei in the least.

The person who should be careful shouldn’t be Lin Fei; it should be Han Qiming.

In fact, Lin Fei should thank Han Qiming, because if it wasn’t for that guy grandstanding in the General Affairs Department, Lin Fei wouldn’t have gained the approval of the department’s female colleagues so quickly.

…

“Dancing Night” was a small but famous comprehensive bar in the Puning District of Zhonghai, where many young men and women chose to come for drinks and clubbing.

After leaving the Moongaze Building, Lin Fei took a taxi to this place.

After getting out of the taxi, Lin Fei pulled out his phone and dialed a number, “Hey, brat, I’m here.

Where are you?”

“Ah, Uncle, you got here so fast?

Just wait, I’ll come out now.”

From Lin Fei’s phone came a somewhat immature female voice, along with the ear-piercing sound of rock music.

Lin Fei put away his phone, guessing Xu Yingying might take a few minutes to come out, so he walked aside and lit up a cigarette.

Today, Lin Fei had planned to finish work on time and be a model employee, but because of a distress call from Xu Yingying, he had to leave work early.

Xu Yingying was the girl who had just called Lin Fei.

She was someone Lin Fei had met while he was street vending.

At that time, Lin Fei had just started his stall not long ago, one evening an overtly flamboyant Xu Yingying arrived on the overpass, accompanied by several similarly dressed girls.

When Xu Yingying stopped in front of Lin Fei’s stall, he thought the girl wanted to buy something.

Operating under the principle that the customer comes first, Lin Fei got up, intending to introduce his stall’s goods to Xu Yingying.

“You, cut the crap.

I’m here to collect protection money, so pay up.”

Lin Fei vaguely remembered that back then, Xu Yingying had shouted at him with her hands on her hips, just like this.

When Xu Yingying shouted, she really did stop Lin Fei in his tracks.

Of course, it wasn’t that Lin Fei was frightened by her, but rather Lin Fei suddenly realized he seemed somewhat out of touch with society.

Before setting up his street stall, Lin Fei had considered the possibility of being extorted for protection money, a situation that could occur in any country around the world.

However, Lin Fei, who was accustomed to the customs of various countries, could never have imagined that upon returning home, he would be extorted for protection money by a bunch of little girls.

It simply exceeded the limits of Lin Fei’s imagination.

“Do I look that easy to bully?”

This was the question Lin Fei asked himself deep down after he took a moment to collect his thoughts.

At that time on the pedestrian overpass, there were quite a few street vendors, and yet Xu Yingying had singled out Lin Fei.

This left Lin Fei speechless.

On foreign mercenary battlefields, countless people prayed to God that they would never encounter Lin Fei, the bringer of doom.

Even some of the top assassins with blood on their hands would consciously avoid the areas where Lin Fei was known to appear.

But Xu Yingying, on the other hand, didn’t bother with the older uncles and aunties on the bridge, and instead targeted Lin Fei, the harbinger of bad luck.

The calf doesn’t fear the tiger, and ignorance knows no fear—these sayings couldn’t be more apt in describing Xu Yingying at the time.

How could Lin Fei tolerate Xu Yingying, a girl whose hair had not even fully grown, attempting to collect protection money from him?

If this had become known overseas by some of his peers, Lin Fei would likely have been laughed to death.

Being laughed at was a minor concern, but once a precedent was set, every Tom, Dick, and Harry would have the nerve to come and bother him, Lin Fei.

Therefore, Lin Fei grabbed Xu Yingying in one swift motion, pressed the girl onto his thigh, and without showing any mercy, slapped her undeveloped little butt fiercely.

The several girls following Xu Yingying were terrified by Lin Fei’s ferocity and, fearing for their own little butts, they didn’t care about Xu Yingying, their Big Sister, and scattered.

On one hand, Xu Yingying cursed her little sisters for their disloyalty, and on the other, she cried and begged Lin Fei to let her go.

The girl was just carried away in the moment, egged on by the encouragement of her little sisters, and mustered the courage to collect protection fees, aiming to cement her status as the Big Sister.

Unfortunately, she had met Lin Fei, the star of misfortune, and her little butt was almost split into four.

In the end, Lin Fei grew tired of Xu Yingying’s crying and let her go.

However, Lin Fei had been quite heavy-handed in his anger, and Xu Yingying, though she wanted to escape his clutches, found herself in so much pain that she couldn’t even walk.

The girl could only look at Lin Fei with tearful eyes, making Lin Fei feel guilty.

After stirring up such trouble, Lin Fei couldn’t continue his stall under the scrutiny of the surrounding crowds.

He packed up and, with Xu Yingying in tow, left the overpass.

After descending from the bridge, Lin Fei had intended to take Xu Yingying home, however, the girl clung stubbornly to Lin Fei’s clothes and, no matter how he asked, she refused to say where she lived.

With no other choice, Lin Fei ended up carrying Xu Yingying back to his rented apartment.

The next morning, Xu Yingying left, wobbling away.

Lin Fei thought that would be the end of it and Xu Yingying would just be a passerby in his life.

To his surprise, just a few days later, that devilish girl Xu Yingying was bouncing energetically back into Lin Fei’s presence.

“Uncle, you’ve made me lose face in front of my minions; now they don’t acknowledge me as their Big Sister anymore.

Also, you’ve seen my butt, you have to take responsibility for me.”

With a look of reprimand, and using those two reasons, Xu Yingying stubbornly stuck to Lin Fei.

She would come to find Lin Fei intermittently, like a piece of sticky candy that Lin Fei could not shake off, no matter how hard he tried.

…

“Uncle, so you’re here.”

Lin Fei had just finished his cigarette when Xu Yingying’s coquettish voice reached him.

Before Lin Fei had time to turn around, a pair of tender little hands fastened around his neck.

Fortunately, Lin Fei reacted quickly, catching hold of Xu Yingying’s fragrant, soft body.

Otherwise, Lin Fei would very likely have been caught off balance by her embrace.

Xu Yingying clung to Lin Fei like a koala, resting her small head against his chest and looking utterly content.

Xu Yingying was just eighteen years old, but her attire was quite mature: a white spaghetti strap top coupled with blue ripped jeans, and, peculiarly, she wore a pair of red high heels.

Her small face was heavily made up, with purple eyeshadow and red lipstick—she was a perfect little delinquent.

“Every time we meet you do this, it annoys not only you but me.

Let go already.”

Lin Fei looked down sternly at Xu Yingying in his embrace.

He couldn’t afford to soften his heart towards this girl; if he did, she would only become more presumptuous.

Lin Fei had learned this from multiple personal experiences.

“Uncle, you’re so annoying.

This is just my way of expressing how much I’ve missed you, you know.

Others would want me to hug them, and I wouldn’t even do that.”

Xu Yingying huffed a few times in dissatisfaction, but she didn’t continue to cling to Lin Fei.

She obediently released her tender little hands from around his neck and hopped down from his body.
