Secretary Tang was stunned when she heard Chu Feng’s proposal and said, "Chu Feng, I think you’ve misunderstood. I’m not here to accept your invitation; I’m here to ask for your help?"
"Help?" Chu Feng repeated after hearing Secretary Tang’s words.
In fact, Chu Feng had already understood what Secretary Tang intended to do. This not only did not disappoint him, but actually increased his favorable impression of her.
Secretary Tang had not fled from the battle or abandoned Ning Xiaoman in a critical mont. Instead, she used her own thods to help Ning Xiaoman. Just for that, Secretary Tang deserved Chu Feng’s good feelings towards her.
Getting straight to the point, Secretary Tang said, "I know you definitely have a way to help the chairman, so I hope you can lend a hand. The chairman is really not a bad person, and she has had it tough. I hope you can help her."
"Why do you think I can help her? What reason do I have to help her?" Chu Feng asked in return.
Secretary Tang replied, "Because you are the first person to make the chairman back down. Being able to make the chairman yield proves that you are stronger than her. That’s why I believe you can definitely help the chairman. As for why, I don’t know what to say exactly, since you are just an intern and not really an employee of the company, but I hope you can help the chairman."
Chu Feng said, "If you can’t provide a compelling reason, I’m afraid it will be really hard for to agree."
Upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, a glimr of hope appeared in Secretary Tang’s eyes as she asked, "You’re willing to help the chairman?"
Chu Feng replied, "I didn’t say that. I just said that if you can’t even give one compelling reason, it would be hard for to agree."
Upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, Secretary Tang’s brow furrowed as well.
Chu Feng, however, was not in a hurry. He sipped his lemon water while waiting for Secretary Tang to think of a reason on her own.
"You still want to continue your internship at the company. If the chairman resigns, you and your classmates will face trouble from Ma Xuesong and his group. You wouldn’t want to see your classmates suffer, right? Also, I think since you agreed to have a al with , we could consider ourselves friends. How could you not help a friend in trouble? I know you are not that kind of person. Just like you help the female classmates in your class." After saying all this in one breath, Secretary Tang sneaked a look at Chu Feng and timidly asked, "Is this reason good enough?"
Chu Feng, sowhat amused, replied, "You’ve already answered for , and then put such a big hat of being a good person on my head; how could I possibly refuse you?"
Secretary Tang’s excitent soared upon hearing Chu Feng’s words as she nearly jumped up, "So you really agree?"
Chu Feng nodded and said, "Yes."
Delighted, Secretary Tang exclaid, "I knew you were a good person; I knew you would agree!"
Chu Feng said, "Your reason moved . I indeed don’t want my classmates to be bullied, and I am also a person who dislikes trouble. If I don’t deal with this situation, Ma Xuesong and his group will continue to bother ."
He paused and continued, "Also, we should indeed consider ourselves friends."
Secretary Tang’s cheeks tinged pink as she said, "From now on, just call by my na, Tang ..."
Before Secretary Tang could finish, Chu Feng interjected, "Tang Min, Sister Min, which do you prefer?"
"How did you know my na?" Tang Min asked with wide eyes, full of surprise.
Chu Feng pointed at his chest and replied, "It’s on the na tag. After all, I did go to university. I can still just about recognize those 3000 common characters."
"Hee hee!" Tang Min laughed when she heard Chu Feng’s response.
"You can call whatever you like."
Chu Feng said, "Then I’ll stick to calling you Sister Min."
Tang Min replied heartily, "That works."
After glancing at the watch, Tang Min suddenly stood up and said, "I must go now, I still have to prepare the bank docunts for the chairman."
"Wait!" Chu Feng called out to Tang Min.
Tang Min looked at the drink Chu Feng had ordered and then touched her pocket, saying shyly, "Sorry, I rushed out and forgot my wallet. I owe you for this al. Next ti, I’ll definitely pay you back."
Chu Feng looked at Tang Min, a mix of amusent and frustration visible as he said, "Do you really see as such a petty man? I stopped you because I wanted to go back with you. You’re wearing too little; I’m worried you might catch a cold or encounter danger. I didn’t stop you to ask you to settle the bill."
Upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, Tang Min beca even more embarrassed and said, "Sorry, I misunderstood. I..."
Chu Feng shook his head resignedly and said, "Forget it. Actually, I am quite stingy. But that’s only towards people who aren’t my friends. For friends, I’m quite generous. I’ve already ordered a boxed al, which should be delivered soon. You probably haven’t had dinner yet, so take it with you."
"Chu Feng, you’re really thoughtful. Being your girlfriend must be very blissful," Tang Min said with a sweet and happy expression on her face.
Chu Feng smiled but didn’t say much.
So things are better left unsaid; so relationships are best kept light.
Seeing that Chu Feng did not continue the conversation, Tang Min also felt a bit disappointed.
After a while, Tang Min suddenly thought of sothing and said, "Can I ask for another one? The chairman hasn’t eaten either."
Chu Feng said, "Of course, but I’m not paying for hers; she’ll have to pay for it herself."
Tang Min glanced at Chu Feng and said, "You really are stingy. With your capabilities and your own company, are you really hurting for the money of one boxed al?"
Chu Feng nodded seriously and replied, "Yes. You never know, the money from one boxed al might help move up one place in the ’Serve or Not Serve’ ranking."
"Giggle!" Tang Min was again amused by Chu Feng’s joke.
Their boxed als were quickly prepared, and they left the restaurant. Tang Min shivered unconsciously as they stepped out.
Tang Min was already wearing little, and stepping suddenly from a warm environnt into icy, snowy conditions could only be cold.
Chu Feng took off his windbreaker and draped it over Secretary Tang, saying, "Wait here; I’ll call a car."
Tang Min nodded obediently, her face turning red as she stood wrapped in Chu Feng’s windbreaker at a distance.
Soon, Chu Feng hailed a car, and after they got in, the car set off, arriving at the company in five minutes.
"If you didn’t bring your wallet, how did you manage to take a cab here?" As they reached the company entrance, Chu Feng suddenly asked.
"Ah!" Tang Min was startled for a mont before withdrawing from that cozy state and said, "I have a transport card."
"Oh!" Chu Feng acknowledged and walked ahead, holding the boxed al and ready to go upstairs.
Tang Min followed behind Chu Feng, adjusting herself to the sa deanor she held at the company.
Chu Feng’s earlier call was just that, a tactful reminder for Tang Min.
The two reached Ning Xiaoman’s office, and Tang Min knocked on Ning Xiaoman’s door.
