Chapter 8 She's In Trouble

  • If she were to surrender herself to Lin Yuanfeng like this, given his greedy nature, he would never be satisfied. Who knows what demands he would make of her then!
  • "Mr. Jiang, although this cooperation case is rare, for the past two or three years, all of Lin's manpower and financial resources have been invested in this project. This profit..."
  • "Is it too low for Lin's?" Lin Fei hesitated for a long time and decided to negotiate a higher price with the man in front of her.
  • "Hmm? Do you think the profit is inappropriate?" Jiang Yihan raised an eyebrow coldly, lazily leaning back in his spacious office chair, calmly looking at her.
  • Isn't that obvious!
  • Lin Fei secretly cursed in her heart, but still maintained a charming smile on her face. She nodded heavily and flattered, "Mr. Jiang, you are so generous, so it wouldn't hurt to give a little more to Lin's."
  • "Oh? Is that so?"
  • Jiang Yihan's thin lips slightly curved as he extended his slender fingers and beckoned her over. "Come here!"
  • Without much thought, Lin Fei approached him with the documents in her arms.
  • But before she could get close, a strong force pulled her forward. After everything spun around, she found herself sitting on the man's firm and solid thigh.
  • Lin Fei was shocked and panicked, struggling to get up. However, before she could stand, a strong arm held her waist and prevented her from moving, trapping her in a small space where she couldn't escape.
  • "Mr... Mr. Jiang, what are you... doing?"
  • Lin Fei nervously began to stutter. She raised her hand to try to pry open the arm around her waist, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't budge.
  • He wouldn't do something to her here, would he?! Someone please come and save her!
  • Jiang Yihan stared at her reddened earlobe and suddenly leaned in, his warm breath spraying on her neck as he spoke in a deep voice.
  • "You haven't even fulfilled your responsibilities, and you want to raise the price?"
  • Lin Fei: ???
  • This is bad, this is bad!
  • Just as Lin Fei thought she was about to be defeated here, the door of the CEO's office was suddenly knocked, accompanied by a woman's voice, and someone pushed the door open.
  • "Mr. Jiang, there's an urgent document that needs your signature and approval."
  • Huang Jing, who was used to being familiar with the previous CEO, forgot for a moment that the company had already been acquired by Jiang Yihan. When she entered the room, her breath stopped.
  • Jiang Yihan glanced at her coldly, while Lin Fei awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth and then hurriedly said, "Ah, the general manager's secretary is here!"
  • Huang Jing froze in place, her hand flipping through the documents stopped, and fear crawled up from the bottom of her heart. She now deeply regretted why she didn't knock on the door and come in without asking.
  • What should she do now? She had stumbled upon the CEO's affair, and she would be in big trouble!
  • Lin Fei made up her mind and took the opportunity to stand up. She held the documents tightly and respectfully bent over, "General Manager Jiang, I just remembered that there is a report that I haven't finished. I'll leave first."
  • Lin Fei's actions were swift.
  • Without waiting for Jiang Yihan's reaction, she turned and walked towards the door. As she passed by Huang Jing, she even cast a grateful look at her.
  • Thank you! My savior!
  • Huang Jing couldn't receive her gaze at all. She only had one thought in her mind: she was finished!
  • But Lin Fei didn't have the ability to save her from this predicament. With an anxious mood, she ran back to the secretary's office with the documents in her arms and sat at her own desk, still trembling with fear.
  • That was close! She almost got caught red-handed!
  • A dozen minutes later.
  • Huang Jing came out of the CEO's office, looking disheveled as if she had suffered a major blow.
  • She was scolded in the CEO's office and felt frustrated. It wasn't until she looked up and saw Lin Fei that her eyes lit up. She walked straight to Lin Fei's desk and said seriously.
  • "Secretary Lin, I need to rely on you from now on."
  • Lin Fei: "???"
  • "The CEO thinks highly of you and has great expectations for you!"
  • "In the future... only you will be able to survive in his office!" Huang Jing showed a tragic expression, clearly indicating that every minute inside was torture.
  • Lin Fei secretly mocked in her heart. Do you want this high regard? Who cares about his great expectations!
  • Just then,
  • Han Li glanced at everyone, walked over, and tapped Lin Fei's desk, conveying Jiang Yihan's order, "Secretary Lin, you can leave work a bit later today. There's something he wants to discuss with you."
  • "Ah?"
  • Lin Fei panicked for a moment and tried to find an excuse to decline, "I have something to do after work..."
  • Huang Jing looked at Han Li, her clever mind turning skillfully. She timely placed a stack of documents on Lin Fei's desk.
  • "Secretary Lin, can you please work on this statistical report? We need it tomorrow. It would be great if you could stay a bit later today. I'll buy you breakfast tomorrow!"
  • Lin Fei was shocked, her clear and lively eyes widened slightly, isn't her unwillingness obvious enough on her face?!
  • Han Li glanced meaningfully at the two of them, turned around and left. Huang Jing gave her a look that said "no need to thank" and gracefully walked away.
  • Leaving Lin Fei in a mess.
  • Who are these people...
  • As soon as it was time to get off work, people in the company started leaving one after another. Lin Fei had the urge to grab her bag and run, but...
  • Not far away, Han Li sat upright on the waiting sofa. When he saw her looking over, he gave her an official smile and said, "Miss Lin, please work overtime seriously!"
  • She reluctantly forced a smile and looked away.
  • Does Jiang Yihan have mind-reading abilities? He actually knew she would try to escape and made Han Li sit there and watch her before leaving work!
  • What a miscalculation!
  • The sky gradually darkened.
  • Lin Fei opened her phone to check the time. It was exactly ten o'clock at night. When she looked up at Han Li, he was busy with a notebook on the sofa.
  • Lin Fei calmed down her anxious heart and put on a bright smile, pitifully speaking up.
  • "Assistant Han, is the CEO done with his work? If he's not done yet... can I go eat something first? I've been waiting for so long, I haven't had dinner and I'm starving."
  • As she spoke, she rubbed her stomach and pouted her face.
  • Unbeknownst to her, Han Li glanced at her and continued to work without being moved. When he looked up again, he smiled slightly and said, "The CEO just sent a message asking you to come in."
  • "But... I'm really hungry. Can I eat first?" Just as she finished speaking, Lin Fei's stomach made two loud noises, as if it was supporting her plea.
  • Han Li's indifferent gaze showed a slight change, but he didn't have the authority to make decisions on his own. He sighed and stood up, saying, "I'll go ask the CEO for you."
  • "Thank you, Assistant Han!"
  • Lin Fei clasped her hands together and sincerely thanked him. She planned to slip away as soon as Han Li left.
  • However, before her thoughts could materialize, Han Li suddenly turned around and kindly reminded her, "By the way, Miss Lin, the elevator is locked and out of service. Even if you want to eat, you'll have to wait for me to come back."
  • Lin Fei: "..."
  • She couldn't take the elevator, but she could use the fire escape!
  • A few minutes later, Lin Fei returned to her seat with a dejected look. She didn't expect the fire escape to be locked as well! What does this mean?
  • Just as she sat down, the door to the CEO's office opened, and two figures appeared one after another.
  • Lin Fei immediately became nervous.
