Super Soldier in the Chapter 37 - 36: Seeing the Light

Chapter 37: Chapter 36: Seeing the Light

With a sense of trepidation, I walked into the office. At that mont, besides a large desk and a chair, there was nothing else in the office. A woman was standing by the desk, looking towards Li Yifei and Michelle.

As soon as Michelle entered, she was also struck by the new supervisor’s beauty and deanor, dressed in a black suit and black high heels, with curly long hair, the woman exuded an air of competence and alacrity. Michelle even imdiately felt a bit ashad of herself and respectfully said, "Director, I’m Michelle from the logistics departnt, and this is Li Yifei. May I ask if you need anything, so our departnt can arrange it?"

Having said that, Michelle didn’t receive a response from the director; instead, she noticed that the director was staring at Li Yifei with her mouth slightly open, her face a picture of shock and disbelief. And mixed with that shock was intense panic, as if she had seen sothing extrely terrifying.

Before Michelle could figure out what was going on, Li Yifei had already excitedly exclaid, "It’s actually you! I truly didn’t expect that you would be the financial supervisor of my company. I’m so sorry for bumping into you that day. You dropped your ID card, I called out to you, but you didn’t hear. Luckily I’ve been busy these past two days and haven’t had ti to take it to the police station. Here, I’m returning it to you now."

The new financial supervisor turned out to be He Fangqing, whom Li Yifei had t at the bar the day before yesterday. After a night of pleasure, He Fangqing’s ID card was left at the hotel, sothing Li Yifei had indeed forgotten about these past two days.

He had never imagined there would be another chance to et He Fangqing, let alone in the sa company. Seeing He Fangqing’s reaction, it was clear that she was incredibly panicked at the sight of Li Yifei in this place, so Li Yifei imdiately spoke up, offering her so reassurance by indicating that he wouldn’t gossip.

He Fangqing was indeed terrified upon seeing Li Yifei here. She wasn’t normally a casual woman, but that day she had been dealt a huge emotional blow, leading her to the bar. She had intended to drink her sorrows away, but fate had her spend the night with Li Yifei in an unplanned encounter.

Afterward, she was filled with regret, and most importantly, worried about the potential repercussions of that night. She had heard that so n might take the opportunity to secretly photograph or even threaten her, but two days had gone by without any frightening calls, so she had felt sowhat relieved.

She had thought that the incident would be forgotten, but upon arriving at the branch office, she ran into Li Yifei again. The usually composed He Fangqing couldn’t help but feel disconcerted.

However, Li Yifei’s words finally brought her back to her senses, and she hastily said, "Thank you for that, I was wondering where my ID card went."

As she reached out to take the ID card Li Yifei was handing over, her palm was gently grazed by him, sending a shiver through her, yet she dared not show any reaction. She picked up a piece of paper from the desk and handed it to Michelle, saying, "This is what I need, as for anything else, you can decide how to arrange it."

Michelle took the paper, which contained so basic information about He Fangqing, and smilingly said, "Director He, we’ll get right on that."

Li Yifei and Michelle turned to leave, and as soon as the door closed, He Fangqing sank into the chair, her hand on her forehead, feeling completely drained. The man she had slept with was now in the sa company; how was she going to face this in the future?

Most importantly, He Fangqing didn’t yet know how Li Yifei would treat her. With her situation now known to Li Yifei, if he chose to use it to threaten her, then she... truly wouldn’t know how to solve the problem.

Rubbing her forehead repeatedly, He Fangqing forced herself to calm down and took several deep breaths, yet she felt completely unlike her usual self-possessed self.

Even faced with various issues in the company, He Fangqing could co up with ways to cope, but this ti, with her privacy involved and her weak point in soone else’s hands, she was truly disturbed.

"I’ve got to find a way to get him out of this company!"

"No, that won’t do! If I get rid of him, he will certainly resent

more."

"I could give him money, to keep him quiet."

After leaving Director He’s office, Michelle imdiately said in a curious whisper, "Brother Li, you know Director He?"

"Not really, just a chance encounter on the street when we accidentally bumped into each other. Then Director He thought I did it on purpose and took

for a bad guy; she stord off in a huff. That’s why she had that expression when she saw

just now," Li Yifei explained.

Michelle had been quite puzzled by He Fangqing’s reaction upon seeing Li Yifei, but after his explanation, it seed to make more sense.

"Hehe, you don’t think I did it on purpose, do you?" Li Yifei asked Michelle with a smile.

"Of course I know you didn’t do it on purpose," Michelle answered with certainty.

Li Yifei was surprised and said, "Really? You trust

that much?"

"Of course, I trust you. Brother Li, you’ve always been very proper at work these past few days; how could you be that kind of person?"

Li Yifei broke out in a silent sweat, thinking to himself, "I am actually that kind of person; I just don’t dare to ss with a young girl like you for fear of trouble."

However, Michelle’s words made Li Yifei feel slightly proud as he laughed and said, "Then you better be careful, I’m quite good at pretending."

Michelle snorted with laughter and said, "Who ever heard of soone in disguise admitting it themselves, Brother Li, you’re just teasing ."

Li Yifei never actually expected that Michelle would believe him so readily, but it wasn’t a bad thing. He had no intentions towards Michelle, but it would be quite dull if such a beautiful girl was always wary of him.

On the thirteenth floor, there was a storage room specifically for holding various company items, including so materials and commonly used office supplies. Following the list Director He had given, they prepared everything available there and then delivered it all to Director He’s office.

Director He had been stealthily observing Li Yifei, but his deanor was as if nothing had happened, which made Director He even more worried.

After they had put everything away, Li Yifei and Michelle left. For bulk items like laptops, which the company didn’t have in stock, they still needed to go out and buy them. They went to Zheng Xiuqin to get authorization, then called Chen Fei to go out and make the purchases, using the company’s car.

"Little Li, what do you think? The director is pretty, isn’t she?" showed off Chen Fei as soon as they got into the car.

Li Yifei imdiately said, "She really is."

Michelle chuckled softly from the backseat and said, "Brother Chen, Brother Li’s known Director He for a long ti now."

"No way?" Chen Fei exclaid in surprise.

Li Yifei repeated to Chen Fei the sa story he had told Michelle, but Chen Fei, unlike Michelle, firmly believed that Li Yifei had done it on purpose. He even admired Li Yifei’s boldness, considering him a role model for n, which left Li Yifei sowhat speechless.

After purchasing laptops and so other items Director He needed, by the ti they returned it was already ti for lunch.

The building’s cafeteria was on the fourth floor. With Michelle’s guidance, Li Yifei got himself a al card and then, together with Michelle, he got his food. As colleagues, and with Michelle walking him through the ropes, everything seed quite normal.

Most of the people eating there were familiar faces to Li Yifei. Having been a security guard for two months, Li Yifei had learned to recognize everyone in the building, a habit he’d picked up in the military, always paying attention to the people around him. Although the building housed over a thousand people, any elite special forces soldier who couldn’t morize all of them in over two months would be deed unqualified.

Of course, he didn’t rember everyone’s na, just the people who worked in the building.

Indeed, there were many beautiful won throughout the building; once won start working, they really know how to dress up. As long as they weren’t particularly unattractive, anyone could be dolled up and pass as beautiful. However, Xu Yingying shined the brightest among them. Although Michelle was still a bit green compared to Xu Yingying, there weren’t more than ten who could rival Michelle in the entire building. Therefore, seeing Li Yifei and Michelle eating together attracted so envious stares from the male white-collars.

Yet, Li Yifei didn’t see Xu Yingying or Director He in the cafeteria.

In the afternoon, Li Yifei and Michelle went to set up Director He’s office, but Director He wasn’t there. Instead, she had gone to Xu Yingying’s office, seemingly trying to dodge Li Yifei on purpose.

After tidying everything up and having the office thoroughly cleaned by the custodial staff, their task was finished.

Despite being busy all day on the fourteenth floor, Li Yifei hadn’t caught a glimpse of Xu Yingying, leaving him with a tinge of disappointnt. He had seen Xu Yingying at ho, not in her corporate persona, but he had yet to witness her true elegance in the office setting.

After work, Li Yifei bought so groceries. Although they weren’t anything special, he enjoyed cooking for himself, as he wasn’t one to mistreat his own stomach.

Just as he arrived at the entrance of his apartnt complex, Li Yifei saw a woman in a sky-blue flight attendant uniform, struggling to hoist a large suitcase onto a step, but failing repeatedly.

Li Yifei had never seen a flight attendant in his building before, let alone one in uniform—an attire that could indeed make a man’s heart race. He imdiately walked over, smiling, and offered, "Can I help you with that?"

The flight attendant turned around, eyeing Li Yifei warily, and replied, "No, thank you."

When Li Yifei saw the flight attendant’s face, he was thoroughly stunned by her beauty. Many assu all flight attendants are incredibly pretty, but Li Yifei knew well that truly gorgeous flight attendants were rare, or rather, the leftovers were not that many.

The reason was simple: being a flight attendant ant having a good figure and looks, and many wealthy n traveled by air. It was too easy for a flight attendant to snag a wealthy husband, especially the attractive ones. Consequently, the beautiful flight attendants usually didn’t last long in the job; most were married off or swept away in a matter of months.

Thus, even though Li Yifei spotted a flight attendant, he hadn’t harbored any high hopes about her looks. But his judgent, this ti, was absolutely wrong; she was a bona fide beauty.

Having a flight attendant as a neighbor, and a beautiful one at that, was an exciting prospect, though he wondered just how many months she would be his neighbor.
