50: Chapter 050 Smart Little Ya 50: Chapter 050 Smart Little Ya After starting the day at work, the area around Long Fei was much quieter.
Nie Dayong and siblings Zhang Lei, and Zhang Bing, still hid in the surveillance room enjoying their peace.
Zheng Dahai had been a bit more proactive these past two days, always bringing people from upstairs down for inspections.
Long Fei had beco the benchmark of his departnt, and anyti a leader visited, he would take them to praise Long Fei.
The leaders did indeed have a good impression of Long Fei—the young man was tall and built, standing at attention with exemplary military posture.
From nine in the morning until noon, for three hours, he could stand immobile without a twitch.
In a show of pretense, every leader would tell him to keep up the good work and promise him an award for ‘Employee of the Year’ at the end of the year.
But in their hearts, they all sneered, thinking what a simpleton he was, truly cut out for sentry duty.
Long Fei didn’t care about that; he stood guard for himself, not for anyone else.
He stood straight because the gas in his belly was rising—if he bent over, it would affect the flow of the gas.
He didn’t yet have a systematic understanding of the thod of harnessing luck.
Therefore, he could only rely on these crude thods to regulate his inner qi.
At lunchti, Zhang Li was so annoyed with him that she deliberately pulled Wang Xiaoya along, preventing Wang Xiaoya from paying him any attention.
Long Fei went to eat alone, and soon after, Wang Xiaoya ca over with her tray, smiling at him, “Why didn’t you bring your fancy cup?”
Long Fei chuckled, “I never really wanted that cup; it’s too showy to use for drinking water!”
He glanced at Zhang Li and asked curiously, “Aren’t you with Zhang Li?”
Wang Xiaoya pursed her lips, “She’s eating with Liu Kai.
I don’t want to be a third wheel!”
Long Fei laughed foolishly and buried his head, taking big bites of his food.
Wang Xiaoya gave him a suggestion, “Long Fei, since you’re not using that cup, you might as well give it to one of the leaders upstairs.
If there really is a reshuffle in the admin group, with your performance these days, you’re sure to be promoted!”
Long Fei shook his head, “No, that’s sothing Chu Feng gave to , I can’t give it away!”
Wang Xiaoya took a deep breath and pouted at him, “So stubborn, can’t get through to you at all!”
Long Fei continued with a smile, asking her, “You’re always telling , don’t you have any ambitions here at this company?”
Wang Xiaoya prodded her rice with her chopsticks, dejectedly saying, “Of course I do, doesn’t everyone at work?
But I only have a junior college diploma.
In this company, bachelors are a di a dozen, and there are masters everywhere; any opportunity cos, it won’t be my turn!”
Long Fei comforted her, saying, “Don’t worry.
When Chu Feng gets promoted, I’ll ask him to help you out!”
“Chu Feng?”
Wang Xiaoya frowned slightly.
Realizing he had misspoken, Long Fei quickly grabbed a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, quietly gnawing away.
Wang Xiaoya pressed on, “What did you an by that?
Is Chu Feng also interested in this promotion opportunity?”
Long Fei shook his head and mumbled vaguely, “He doesn’t have the capability.
I ant, when he gets promoted in the future!”
Wang Xiaoya rolled her eyes at him, “Why don’t you focus on advancing yourself?
You’re able-bodied; why rely on Chu Feng?
I would ask for your help, not Chu Feng’s, if I ever needed it—do you understand?”
Long Fei nodded blankly.
Wang Xiaoya lanted as if talking about a hopeless case, “You don’t understand, you’re just a blockhead!”
She ate a few bites haphazardly, then went to put her tray away and left.
Long Fei scratched his head, not knowing what he had said wrong again, as he had been often upsetting Wang Xiaoya lately.
As usual, he ate a few more plates of at, went downstairs, then swapped with Wu and Yang Huo so they could go eat.
Wang Xiaoya sat at the reception desk, poured herself a glass of water, and called out to Long Fei, “Co over here!”
Long Fei approached, feeling a bit nervous.
Wang Xiaoya handed him the water cup and apologized with a bow, “Have so water!
My temper has been a bit off lately, don’t take it personally!”
Zhang Li was right, when she returned ho last night, her period indeed started.
In these few days, a woman’s emotions fluctuate significantly, and Wang Xiaoya couldn’t control it.
Long Fei drank the water and smiled at her, “It’s okay, I know you an well!”
He took out the tea leaves Chu Feng had given him from his pocket and offered them to Wang Xiaoya, “Here, have so of this to cool off your temper!”
“At least you have a conscience!”
Wang Xiaoya accepted it, a hint of joy on her face, and opened the cloth bag to find a small wooden box inside.
The craftsmanship of the box was exquisite, resembling a jewelry box, and it gave off a faint sll of sandalwood.
When Wang Xiaoya opened the box, she found green tea leaves inside.
She sniffed in surprise, overwheld by the scent of tea mixed with a refreshing fragrance; just the sll was invigorating.
“This was also from Chu Feng, wasn’t it?”
Wang Xiaoya stared at Long Fei, as if she were interrogating a suspect.
Long Fei scratched his head and laughed, “Don’t worry about who gave it, it’s not worth much anyway!”
Wang Xiaoya frowned and said, “Why have you beco so arrogant?
Let tell you, this box of tea leaves is even more expensive than that silver cup of yours!”
“Really?”
Long Fei rubbed his head, disbelieving, “How much could such a small amount of tea leaves be worth?
I used to buy a big packet for ten yuan!”
Wang Xiaoya couldn’t help but laugh, “Go on, get out of here.
You don’t understand anything; you’re just talking nonsense!”
She took out so and put them in her own cup.
Tea this expensive should not be wasted.
She had once overheard colleagues in the office boasting about purchasing high-end tea leaves for shareholder etings; a couple of ounces cost fifty or sixty thousand yuan, which had terrified her.
Once the tea leaves touched the water, they blossod like green leaves.
A subtle tea fragrance wafted from the cup.
Wang Xiaoya took a sip and understood why expensive tea was so prized; it was like tasting the flavor of the vast prairies.
Doubts surfaced in her heart, followed by a sudden jump.
Perhaps, Chu Feng really knew one of the company’s shareholders.
Long Fei had ntioned earlier that Chu Feng was competing for the position of the head of the administrative group.
She was starting to believe it and hesitated over whether she should tell Zhang Li.
The two of them had graduated from the sa university, joined the company together, and had been best friends in the dormitory.
Although Zhang Li was a bit spoiled, she had always been good to Wang Xiaoya.
Wang Xiaoya worried that Zhang Li would miss out on Chu Feng, so when she ca over, she still ntioned it, “Little Li!”
Zhang Li, cracking sunflower seeds, looked up and asked, “What is it?”
Wang Xiaoya held out a disposable cup to her and said, “You know about tea leaves, take a sip and tell what kind of tea this is?”
“Did you get so good tea?”
Zhang Li smiled, took the cup, and after a sip, she wrinkled her brow and exclaid in surprise, “Pre-qingming Longjing from old tea trees?”
Wang Xiaoya asked, “It’s expensive, right?”
Zhang Li exclaid, “Of course, the lowest quality goes for over ten thousand yuan per tael!”
Wang Xiaoya said, “That’s what I thought, but you won’t believe it—this tea is what your ex-boyfriend Chu Feng drinks!”
Zhang Li nearly choked on her tea, coughing dryly and wiping her mouth with a napkin, “Are you kidding?
How could a lousy security guard afford such expensive tea?”
