Chapter21-30(b)

"Rival in love?" Li Nanfang blinked, confused. "What do you mean?""Ah, it's a long story. Let me tell you in detail," the old man sighed on the other end. "There's a rumor that a young talent will soon come to Qingshan City. Damn it, what's so great about the young master of the Helan family? Why does he have to pursue my niece and treat me, his apprentice, as a rival? Unbelievable——"

In the midst of the old man's string of curses, Li Nanfang finally understood what was going on. There was a young man with the surname Helan who was about to come to Qingshan City, holding flowers to pursue Yue Zitong. This Helan young master was Yue Zitong's instructor when she was in the National Security Agency, and he had always had feelings for her. It was said that Helan young master was a top-notch talent in Jinghua, and all the flattering words used to describe a handsome man seemed to have been invented just for him.Yue Zitong came from a wealthy family and was charming. It made sense that Helan young master would pursue her when she wasn't in a bad temper. Normally, whichever man pursued Yue Zitong had nothing to do with Li Nanfang. But the key was that he was now supposed to protect her closely, even staying with her at night. Their relationship would definitely be misunderstood by others, and even if he explained, no one would believe him. But Li Nanfang would never explain. Instead, he happily said, "Good, good. That guy must be quite an amazing person, right? Let him protect her, and I can take the opportunity to get out of here——"Before Li Nanfang could finish, the old man interrupted him: "No way!"Li Nanfang sneered, "Why not?"The old man said rudely, "I said no, and that's final."

"Why won't you tell me clearly? Why not?" Li Nanfang was annoyed and was about to say that he would leave Qingshan City as soon as Helan young master arrived when the old man suddenly said, "Because you have to marry Yue Zitong.""What?" Li Nanfang was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Old man, are you drunk? You actually want me to marry Yue Zitong? Damn it, you really dare to say anything, aren't you afraid the wind will blow your tongue?"The old man said calmly, "This is your master mother's idea. She doesn't want any other man to bother Zitong except you. As for whether you listen or not, that's up to you. I'm just conveying the message."Li Nanfang's sneer immediately froze on his face. When his facial muscles finally relaxed, he realized that the old man had already hung up the phone. Li Nanfang grabbed the water cup from the cabinet, drank the cold water in one gulp, lay on the bed with his face up, and his head was in a mess. Vaguely, he guessed why Master Mother had sent him to protect Yue Zitong. Perhaps there was no real danger for Yue Zitong. Master Mother had sent him here to let them get to know each other first, and then clarify the matter at the right time. But the appearance of Helan young master had disrupted Master Mother's gradual plan, which was why the old man had made the call.Especially thinking about how Yue Zitong disliked him, yet still asked him to stay, Li Nanfang was more certain of his guess: she must have known something but didn't tell him."Master Mother wants me to marry her younger sister as my wife? Then, wouldn't I be in a weird relationship with the old man?" Li Nanfang felt a terrible headache, held his head with both hands, and tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before finally falling asleep.That night, he dreamed of many women whose faces he couldn't see. They were naked, shaking their chests like seductive fox spirits, trying to lure him. As a result, when he woke up the next morning, he found something wet and uncomfortable in a certain place. Fortunately, he didn't have the habit of wearing underwear to sleep, but he was sure the hotel laundry workers would curse him. However, as a magnanimous man, Li Nanfang wouldn't mind if he couldn't hear them.After having such a dream, Li Nanfang had dark circles under his eyes and looked listless. He walked into the Kaifeng Group with a dragging step at nine in the morning, which was one and a half hours later than the normal working time.As soon as he walked into the parking lot, he saw a circle of bright red roses on the ground in front of the hall. A young man in a beige suit, holding a bunch of white roses in his arms, was smiling disgustingly and looking up at the building. It was obvious that this was a love declaration. Even a country bumpkin could see that, but only a country bumpkin would use such an old-fashioned method. Li Nanfang didn't pay much attention and was about to walk around when Wang Defa walked over.Li Nanfang and he were勉强 acquaintances, so he smiled and nodded in greeting, casually asking, "Who's this guy pursuing which beauty in our company?" "Him? He's pursuing our Yue Boss," Old Wang looked back and said in a secretive manner, "Didn't you see the words spelled out with flowers inside the circle?" "Pursuing Yue Boss?" Li Nanfang's drowsiness immediately vanished as he stared at the flowers on the ground and saw the words inside: "Zitong, Happy Birthday!" "Damn, is this Helan young master?" Li Nanfang looked again at the handsome young talent and asked Old Wang, "What's his name?"Chapter 24: You're Just a Driver"He's called Feng Yunting, the young master of Yun World Real Estate in Qingshan City. It's said that he's worth billions and is an absolute diamond bachelor—Hey, what happened to you? You look like you've been trampled on eight hundred times," Wang Defa noticed Li Nanfang's poor condition only then. His blue shirt sleeves were half unbuttoned, and there seemed to be some dark red stains on them. "I ran into a few mad dogs last night and barely escaped after fighting them for three hundred rounds," Li Nanfang, of course, couldn't admit that it was because he was showing off and got into trouble. He sniffed and walked towards Feng Yunting.If it had been yesterday, Li Nanfang wouldn't have cared even if it were Helan young master or Feng Yunting. But now it was different. If he remained indifferent while someone was pursuing Yue Zitong, Master Mother would definitely be angry. Besides, why couldn't Feng Yunting be more low-key in his pursuit?Click, click, click. A series of crisp footsteps came from inside the hall. Among the employees standing at the entrance, someone looked back and felt their heart skip a beat: "Oh no, Boss Yue is here!""Everyone standing here, not working?" Yue Zitong, dressed in a black OL suit, walked out of the hall with a cold expression. The employees quickly scattered like frightened hornets. Yue Zitong snorted coldly and didn't say anything more. She frowned and looked outside the hall.She had known Feng Yunting was there, but she didn't want to deal with him. What kind of person did he think he was, really believing that money could win her over? However, later she heard from Min Rou that Feng Yunting had been standing at the entrance for a long time, determined to wait until Boss Yue came out, which had attracted many onlookers.Yue Zitong was already in a bad mood because Li Nanfang had annoyed her the night before, and now this fly was buzzing around and causing a scene. Where was the mood for work?She thought it was time to have a serious talk with Feng Yunting and tell him to save his energy and try his luck with other women.When Yue Zitong finally appeared, Feng Yunting's smile became even brighter. He combed his slicked-back hair and cleared his throat, about to say something when someone walked up from behind him and stepped on the roses, almost tripping."Ouch, who the hell threw garbage around? Almost made me fall," the person danced with his hands outstretched, kicking his feet around, and finally stood steady. The roses on the ground were already trampled into a mess."Hey, what are you doing?" Feng Yunting had spent half an hour arranging those roses, and now they were ruined. He stared at Li Nanfang with anger in his eyes, as if he could set the building on fire with his gaze."Doing what? Walking, can't you see? Oh, I get it now. These are the garbage you threw on the ground, right?" Li Nanfang pretended to be enlightened, pointing at the roses on the ground with a look of pain and said, "You look so cultured, but why don't you have any public morals? Don't you know how hard the security guards work under the sun to clean up?""You, you——" Feng Yunting was so angry that his lips started to tremble. If it weren't for Yue Zitong being there, he would have slapped him if he wanted to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor.

No one in Qingshan City dared to talk to him like that!

"Well, seeing that you are willing to learn, I won't hold accountable it. Go home and reflect on it," Li Nanfang said magnanimously, waving his hand. He turned to Wang Defa and said, "Hey, give me that thing in your hand."

When Li Nanfang came, Wang Defa was sweeping the parking lot with a small broom. Hearing this, he quickly walked over and handed it to him. "Young man, it's not easy for the working people to earn a living. If you don't want to help, don't make things worse. Respecting others' labor is respecting yourself," Li Nanfang said to Feng Yunting as if he were his elder, sweeping the broken flowers together and taking the bunch of flowers from Feng Yunting's arms, crushing them under his feet, and then nodding with satisfaction. He handed the cleaning tools back to Old Wang, sighed with effort, and walked up the steps. The good romantic pursuit was ruined by Li Nanfang. Feng Yunting had no face to stay there anymore, let alone say anything to Yue Zitong. He glared at him with a sinister look and left in his car.

"Boss Yue, good morning," Li Nanfang saw Yue Zitong standing at the entrance and quickly greeted her with a nod.

"Almost ten o'clock, is it still early?" Yue Zitong asked coldly.

"Almost ten o'clock?" Li Nanfang looked at the already high sun in disbelief. "Boss Yue, are you lying to me, trying to find an excuse to deduct my bonus? Let me see." He reached out to hold Yue Zitong's right hand. Yue Zitong was wearing a small wristwatch on her right hand.

With so many employees watching, Yue Zitong wouldn't let him touch her. She quickly stepped back and scolded in a low voice, "Li Nanfang, respect yourself!"

Not being able to hold that small hand, Li Nanfang felt a bit disappointed and was about to say something when Yue Zitong turned around and walked away quickly. She had realized that this guy was shameless. If she didn't leave quickly, who knows what nonsense he would come up with next.

As for Li Nanfang's performance just now, Yue Zitong knew he was故意 doing it, but she didn't care. This was what she liked to see.

"Damn it, buddy, you're really amazing, daring to offend Feng Yunting," Wang Defa ran over and stretched out his hand. "Let's get acquainted. My name is Wang Defa, the captain of the security team."

"Haha, what's this Feng Yunting or that? They're all nonsense. He doesn't even look at his own appearance. How could he match our beautiful Yue Boss?" Li Nanfang laughed and shook hands with Wang Defa, "Li Nanfang. First day on the job today, position to be determined. It could be the vice president of the company, or it could be the driver of the car pool."

Could the vice president of the company be compared with the driver of the car pool? It should be the driver, right? It seemed that this guy was also the same as him, liking to put a golden face on himself. They were kindred spirits.

Wang Defa was very happy to meet someone who shared the same hobby and said that he would invite him to have a drink one day to exchange some experience in this regard.

Li Nanfang never refused an invitation to drink, so he naturally agreed. He specifically asked when the salary would be issued and then walked into the hall.

When Li Nanfang walked to the entrance, Su Yueyue at the customer service desk saw him. Li Nanfang was definitely not the kind of person who would do a good deed and then boast about it. However, he also didn't have the great integrity of "doing a good deed and then leaving quietly without showing off." He felt that Su Yueyue's behavior last night was a desecration of the act of righteousness and should be punished accordingly.

For example, he should publicly reveal her moral decay last night so that she could learn a profound lesson and not let "heroes" feel discouraged.

When Su Yueyue saw Li Nanfang coming, she immediately lowered her head, clenching her pen tightly in her hands, her knuckles turning white, showing how nervous she was inside.

The girl in the same shift with Su Yueyue wanted to say something for her, but thinking that Mr. Li was just released, she didn't dare to cause trouble for nothing and pretended to check the registration form.

"Ahem," Li Nanfang's cough sounded like a thunderbolt to Su Yueyue. She jumped and closed her eyes in pain. She knew that Li Nanfang would start questioning her in front of her colleagues about why she did that last night. If people knew she worked in a bar last night, she would be fired.

"Su Yueyue," when Li Nanfang called her name, Su Yueyue, whose nose was already sweating, looked up and forced a smile, "Vice President Li, what can I do for you?" She knew she couldn't avoid it and didn't want to explain why she did that last night. When she called Li Nanfang "Vice President," there was a clear sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth.

"What time is it now?" Li Nanfang asked.

Su Yueyue instinctively looked at her phone, "It's almost ten o'clock."

"Damn it, it really is almost ten o'clock?" Li Nanfang pretended to be shocked, quickly walked towards the elevator, and left Su Yueyue stunned: He came over just to ask me what time it is?

"Ah, I'm always so kind. I need to change this habit," Li Nanfang sighed as he walked out of the elevator and headed towards the president's office.

Seeing Su Yueyue so nervous, Li Nanfang felt that it would be cruel to ask her why she was ungrateful last night. It would be a sin punishable by lightning, especially since it was summer and the heavens could strike at any moment.

Of course, if it were Yue Zitong instead of Su Yueyue, Li Nanfang wouldn't have any qualms. After all, the auntie was quite fierce and had a strong resistance to being hit. The key was the attitude. She seemed like she would never give Li Nanfang a smile in this life. When he pushed the door open, she didn't say a word, just pointed to the door with her small, fair hand. Li Nanfang was a bit unwilling: "If I don't knock, won't you let me in?"

"Yes," Yue Zitong replied coldly.

"Well, I'll just stand here then," Li Nanfang folded his arms across his chest and leaned against the door frame. "I just came to ask where my office is."

Yue Zitong wanted to laugh but also felt like tearing her hair out: "You, a mere driver, need what kind of office?"

"You can't say that. After all, there is no distinction between jobs——" Yue Zitong interrupted him rudely, "No matter what you say, you are just a driver."

"Alright, I'm just a driver. But then you can't expect to ride in a car driven by me," facing Yue Zitong's attack, Li Nanfang shrugged indifferently. "Then you should at least tell me where to go to work, right?"

"Go find Min Rou. She will arrange it. The office next door is the secretary's office!" After saying this, Yue Zitong lowered her head and continued working, ignoring him.

"Whatever, so what?" Li Nanfang muttered to himself, slammed the door shut, and walked to the door of the secretary's office. He pushed the door open and walked in.

"Ah!" A girl's scream of fright rang out.

Chapter 25: I'm Best Suited for Eating Soft Rice

Li Nanfang finally realized that barging into someone's room without knocking was a very bad habit of poor taste. However, he had no intention of changing it—after all, if he knocked and waited for permission to enter, would he be able to see a beauty changing clothes? Would he be able to see a beauty, shocked and flustered, throwing her clothes on the ground, hopping around like a little white rabbit, unsure of where to cover herself with her hands? Up or down, but not both at the same time—

This girl was really frightened. One moment she was covering her chest, the next she was covering the area between her legs, but covering one meant neglecting the other. Li Nanfang couldn't help but stare at the part that Min Rou couldn't cover with one hand. He gulped and thought to himself, "She's quite well-endowed, probably a 36D. It doesn't match her cute appearance at all. It's just amazing."

Staring intently at Min Rou's exposed parts, Li Nanfang swallowed hard. The girl began to cry, "Get out!"

"Oh, I'm sorry," Li Nanfang finally snapped out of it, quickly turned around, closed the door, and leaned against the wall in the corridor. He looked up at the ceiling, patting his chest and muttering, "Scared to death, I was scared to death."

Min Rou's scream was so piercing that Yue Zitong in the opposite office couldn't have missed it. She might have been watching through the peephole. Mr. Li had to pretend to be frightened to prove that he had just made a mistake and didn't have any intention of being a pervert. Fortunately, it was around ten o'clock, the busiest time for all departments, and no one was on this floor of the office building. Otherwise, Min Rou would have been so ashamed that she would have wanted to jump off a building, which would have been a disaster.

After waiting for a full half hour, Li Nanfang knocked lightly on the door of the secretary's office. Naturally, no one answered, but there were no more cries coming from inside either. Sighing, Li Nanfang knocked on the door again. This time, Min Rou spoke from inside, her voice trembling, "Who, who is it?"

"Minister Min, it's me, Li Nanfang," Li Nanfang replied in a low voice, "Can I come in? I really have something, something about work."

"Come, come in," Min Rou said after a long silence, finally allowing him to enter.

The girl sat in front of the desk by the window, looking out. It was as if she had eyes on the back of her head.

"Ahem, um, Secretary Min, I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to," Li Nanfang rubbed his hands together, explaining awkwardly.

"Did you see anything?" Min Rou still didn't turn her head and asked.

"See what?" Li Nanfang looked puzzled. "Secretary Min, I don't understand what you're talking about."

Since the girl was pretending to be naive, Li Nanfang naturally had to play along. This method, although somewhat self-deceptive, was the only way to resolve the embarrassment at the moment. Min Rou finally turned her head, her small face still marked with tears of grievance, and said word by word, "Li Nanfang, if I hear even a hint of gossip, I will——"

Li Nanfang quickly pounded his chest and promised, "I'll silence them. One person talks, I'll kill one; two people talk, I'll kill a pair!"

"What if it's you?"

"How could it be me?" Li Nanfang looked puzzled. "I'm not stupid. Why would I share something good I've seen?"

Min Rou's pale face suddenly turned red. She grabbed a pen and threw it at him, her voice trembling with anger, "Li Nanfang, you're despicable! You just said you didn't see anything!"

"Just kidding, hehe, Secretary Min, I was just joking with you. Don't take it seriously," Li Nanfang caught the pen, smiled sheepishly, and quickly changed the subject, "Ahem, um, Secretary Min, I came to see you because Boss Yue asked you to arrange my specific work."

Although Min Rou's current state wasn't suitable for discussing work, it seemed that only talking about work could distract her from the embarrassment. She took the pen back from Li Nanfang's careful hand, wiped her cheeks with a tissue, and then said, "You'll go to the car pool to work——"

Li Nanfang looked disappointed, "Ah, not to be the vice president?"

"Vice president?" Min Rou was taken aback. "Did Boss Yue ever mention arranging for you to be the vice president?"

"No, she's too stingy to let me be the vice president," Li Nanfang shook his head, looking regretful. "I just thought so myself."

"Ha!" Min Rou was once again amazed by Li Nanfang's shamelessness and couldn't help but laugh, "You thought so yourself? Li Nanfang, how come you didn't think Boss Yue would give you the position of president?"

Li Nanfang said seriously, "Actually, I do think I'm best suited to be the president."

"Thick-skinned," Min Rou curled her lips.

Li Nanfang smiled slightly, thinking to himself: If I weren't shameless, how could I make a beautiful girl happy? Sacrificing my own dignity to make a beauty happy, Li Nanfang seemed to see his own noble image.

The car pool of Kaifeng Group, like the security duty room, was on the first floor of the headquarters building, but one was on the west side and the other was on the east side. The car pool had more than ten people, all of whom were men. Each driver had some background. They either had connections with the vice presidents or were the nephews of some ministers. They didn't have much work to do, but their salary and benefits were quite high, more than double that of the security guards. However, this was nothing unusual. Almost all companies were like this. Which leader wouldn't want to help their relatives and friends?

"Boss Yue hasn't clearly arranged which car you'll drive yet. Maybe she wants you to get familiar with the working environment first and get to know your colleagues," Min Rou said after hearing this, Li Nanfang was puzzled. He remembered very clearly that yesterday Yue Zitong had told him that once he started working officially, he would be her personal driver, which would also make it convenient for them to go to and from work together.

However, Li Nanfang wasn't so desperate that he had to drive for her. He preferred to just get by in the car pool—waiting to die was out of the question. He was still hoping that the master would change that unrealistic idea and let him roam freely in the outside world.

Min Rou didn't know what Li Nanfang was thinking, and she continued to advise, "Once you go to the car pool, you have to be careful."

Li Nanfang asked, "Be careful about what?"

"The drivers in the car pool all have connections——"

Before she could finish, Li Nanfang sneered and interrupted, "No matter how deep their connections are, can they compare to mine?"

Min Rou frowned, "I know you've made mistakes before and your values are a bit twisted. But can't you be more ambitious?"

Li Nanfang blinked, "Be more ambitious about what?"

"Feel like you're the kind of person who just eats soft rice," Min Rou, who was usually gentle, said this for the first time to a man, feeling a bit embarrassed.
