Chapter 596: Chapter 615: The Feeling is Just Too Wonderful_2
"Got it, won’t do it," Li Yifei wouldn’t dare voice his current thoughts. If he did, he wasn’t sure how Su Mengxin would react—she might even call him shameless.
Xu Yingying came back at this time, accompanied by Meng Xiaofei. Sometimes, Xiaofei seemed almost invisible, but with good food on the table, she quickly became the center of attention.
They all enjoyed the meal very much. It had been a while since Li Yifei had properly had a meal at home, and today he even had a little drink.
After dinner, Su Mengxin and Meng Xiaofei stayed for a while before returning to their own homes. Xu Yingying checked Li Yifei’s leg and, seeing that it was indeed no longer a major concern, felt relieved. However, the scabs on his leg still made her feel sorry for him.
But Xu Yingying had a lot on hands, especially with the matter of expanding into foreign markets, which she needed to start working on right away, so she went back to the bedroom to get busy.
Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan spent some time playing with Little Yifei first, then bathed her. Later, Li Yifei told her a few stories before she fell asleep.
Xu Shanshan and Li Yifei went to the living room, where she winked at him and said, "Brother-in-law, you’re not busy today, right? Isn’t it time for you to give me a foot massage?"
The next morning, as Li Yifei was preparing breakfast, Xu Yingying dressed Little Yifei. Xu Shanshan sneaked into the kitchen, poked Li Yifei gently from behind and whispered, "Brother-in-law, you were really fierce last night."
Li Yifei felt his heart flutter and asked, "You could tell?"
"Of course, it was so big, so hard, I almost passed out. I really don’t know how sister can take it."
Li Yifei’s heart surged with heat, and he was tempted to lift Xu Shanshan up and throw her onto the bed right then and there. But remembering that Xu Yingying would be out soon, he cleared his throat and hastily said, "Go freshen up, you have to go to work soon."
"Okay!" Xu Shanshan gave Li Yifei a mischievous smile, pinched between his legs with a stretch of her hand and giggled as she scampered away.
"Succubus, succubus," Li Yifei muttered to himself, but he had to admit, he thoroughly enjoyed it.
When he arrived at the company in the morning, Li Yifei immediately wrote a request for the purchase of some equipment. Xu Yingying took this very seriously and gave him full responsibility, instructing Michelle to support Li Yifei in whatever he needed.
Buying these things wasn’t usually Li Yifei’s job, but given the technical nature of the equipment, and considering the company’s security staff were regrettably not specialists—even though they were ex-army—he decided to handle the purchases himself.
Seeing that Li Yifei was going himself, Michelle decided to accompany him. Having the chance to be alone with Li Yifei was always a joyful matter for her.
Michelle did not understand these gadgets and could only follow Li Yifei around as he made his selections. Seeing him act so professionally only increased her admiration for him. Normally, he never showed off, but once he got serious, he was especially manly.
Li Yifei couldn’t find everything he needed that morning, as the items were not all available in one place. He had to search around Mile City, and in the afternoon, he still had more to find.
They grabbed a quick lunch outside, and as they were about to head to another security equipment store, a woman called out to Michelle.
"Wang Xiaojuan!" Michelle exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the woman.
"Michelle, what brings you here?" Wang Xiaojuan asked excitedly as she grasped Michelle’s hand.
Michelle replied excitedly, "I’m here to buy some stuff. What about you? How did you end up here?"
"I work here," Wang Xiaojuan said, her face suddenly revealing a trace of despondency.
"You work here? Didn’t your family arrange a job for you?" Michelle looked at Wang Xiaojuan in surprise.
Wang Xiaojuan sighed and said, "My family originally arranged a civil servant job for me. Actually, I passed the exam on my own merits, finishing second overall. Under normal circumstances, I definitely would have gotten the job, but just my luck, my dad got into trouble around that time, and I ended up in a mess too. With no other choice, I had to come out and find work."
Wang Xiaojuan was a classmate of Michelle’s in their first year of high school, and they had a pretty good relationship. Even though they weren’t in the same class after being sorted into different second-year classes, they still kept in touch, up until they went to university, when their interactions diminished. After graduation, they hadn’t seen each other at all. Wang Xiaojuan’s family was quite wealthy; her father was a Deputy Director in the county, not a very high-ranking official, but still someone with real power. Therefore, Wang Xiaojuan always appeared to be affluent, and many classmates in school envied her. Everyone thought she would definitely land a good job, who could’ve imagined she’d end up working in a small shop—something even Michelle couldn’t match.
"Michelle, where do you work? I haven’t seen you in a long time, and I haven’t been in touch with any of the other classmates either, so I have no idea," Wang Xiaojuan asked.
"I work at Dreamfly Company."
"Dreamfly? Never heard of it, but working in a company, being a white-collar worker, that’s not bad," Wang Xiaojuan said, envy evident in her eyes before suddenly noticing Li Yifei and asking promptly, "Is this your boyfriend?"
Michelle glanced at Li Yifei, her face turning slightly red, and said somewhat sheepishly, "No, he’s not."
Wang Xiaojuan laughed, "What do you mean he’s not? Look at how red your face is! If he’s not your boyfriend, then what is he? What’s the matter? Keeping secrets from me?"
Michelle quickly replied, "Really, he’s not! He’s a colleague from my company."
"Hehe, maybe not now, but he’ll surely be in the future. Come on in. What are you looking to buy? I’ll help you choose, and I’ll definitely give you a discount," Wang Xiaojuan offered.
Li Yifei and Michelle entered the shop, and Li Yifei started to pick out items while Wang Xiaojuan helped him and chatted idly with Michelle. However, when the two other people walked in, Wang Xiaojuan’s face turned sour in an instant, her expression turning quite ugly.
"Oh, business seems good, I see you have customers," said the man and woman who had just entered. The woman was dressed stylishly, with branded clothes and a designer handbag, walking on high heels, garishly made-up, looking to be around the same age as Michelle but exuding an exceptionally flamboyant air.
With a stern face, Wang Xiaojuan asked, "Su Lingling, what are you up to this time?"
The woman named Su Lingling was flirtatiously twisting her waist and let out a giggle, "I’m not up to anything. I just came to see if I could buy something, isn’t my patronage supporting your business? Besides, you’ll earn a commission from it."
Wang Xiaojuan clenched her fists, closed her eyes for a moment, inhaled deeply, and asked, "What do you need?"
With her head tilted back, Su Lingling said, "We’ve got a long list of needs. Our family’s Mingji is now in charge of the county government’s procurement. If we go with this store, you’re going to make a big profit from it."
There was another man in the shop, a forty-something owner, who hadn’t bothered to get up when he saw Li Yifei and Michelle browsing. But upon hearing what Su Lingling said, he immediately came over with a smile, "Sir, ma’am, our shop has the latest security equipment. Many government agencies use our products."
With a light laugh, Su Lingling said, "So, you’re the boss, huh?"
"Yes, yes!" the owner nodded repeatedly, sensing the possibility of a big deal. Government purchases were lucrative; securing the contract could set up his revenue for the entire year.
Glancing at Wang Xiaojuan, Su Lingling commented with a chuckle, "Then I must give you a suggestion. The employee attitude in your store isn’t very good. We haven’t even been offered a glass of water. Isn’t that like telling us to leave?"
Wang Xiaojuan’s face changed, and the owner hurriedly said, "Xiaojuan, go get some water for the guests. How can you be so rude?"
