MTLNOVEL Chapter 145: Different Agendas!
Had a simple lunch at the Liu Family's.
Liu Shiyuan's cooking skills were remarkable. Even a simple bowl of noodles, with minimal seasoning, looked and tasted amazing.
Though it could also be because Jiang Feng was genuinely hungry.
While eating, Jiang Feng noticed that Liu Shiyuan and Wang Xiumei's mother-daughter duo were looking at him differently than before. Their expressions were peculiar, and he was a bit puzzled but didn't ask anything.
After finishing the meal, Jiang Feng bid farewell and left, taking Liu Shiyuan back to the city.
In the car, Jiang Feng intentionally told Liu Shiyuan that he would find time in the future to visit again and help her father with his illness.
Stunned and flattered, Liu Shiyuan asked in disbelief, "Brother Jiang, you know medicine?"
"I know a bit about it." Jiang Feng replied vaguely.
Liu Shiyuan was very excited and suddenly recalled what her mother had said to her in the kitchen. Her cheeks involuntarily turned a little crimson. She glanced at Jiang Feng shyly, and her intense embarrassment almost seemed to ripple out.
...
Back in South City's city district, Jiang Feng dropped Liu Shiyuan off at school and then returned alone to Fengming.
"Brother, you're back?" Heizi came out of the security room with excitement and said with a smile, "This time you really pulled it off, forcing Pan Haoting to bring a bunch of gifts and apologize to the Liu Family."
"How did you know?" Jiang Feng asked with a frown.
"See, it's all over the internet, but those who took photos only snapped Pan Haoting, not you. Not many truly know what happened."
Heizi showed Jiang Feng his mobile phone. Indeed, there were many posts about Pan Haoting humbling himself to visit the Liu Family in the slums. With no shortage of nosy people in society, those posts had quickly gone viral.
Jiang Feng knew that this was certainly the work of busybody neighbors from the shanty town, simply having too much free time.
"I heard from Supervisor Bai that the girl named Liu Shiyuan is now one of our company's staff? And that Chu Feifei and a girl surnamed Zhang have joined too?" Seeing Jiang Feng wasn't interested, Heizi put down his phone and asked.
"Yeah." Jiang Feng nodded.
"Since I've known you, I've finally understood what it means to never judge a book by its cover. You play the fool while feasting like a tiger, you'll surely trick many people." Heizi laughed with envy.
"It's not that exaggerated. You head inside first; I need to make a call."
Jiang Feng temporarily got rid of the gossip-loving Heizi and then took out his phone to call Situ Yan.
He wanted to ask Situ Yan about Mu Jianmin. Although the latter had no direct contact with him, he was keeping an eye on Jiang Feng, and Jiang Feng wasn't sure what Mu Jianmin's intentions were.
As soon as the call connected, Situ Yan said, "Don't waste your phone bill, I'm right outside your door."
"You're at Fengming?" Jiang Feng was taken aback, and when he looked up at the road outside, sure enough, he saw Situ Yan driving her Jeep Wrangler slowly approaching.
"Why did you come?" Jiang Feng put down his phone and walked up to ask.
"Can't I come?" Situ Yan was displeased with Jiang Feng's attitude every time, as if she owed him money every time she came over!
After parking the car, Situ Yan, wearing her sunglasses, opened the car door and got out. She was stunning, with a newly cut short haircut that fell delicately, fully revealing her fair and flawless face. Her cute pink ears and long elegant neck were more prominently displayed, all features not shared by long-haired beauties.
She wasn't in her uniform either, having opted for a fashionable and sexy outfit. Her white women's shirt was both fresh and sexy, especially with her hot body partly hidden. The top button of her collar was unintentionally open, revealing her fair skin and sparking imagination.
A pair of black skinny pants wrapped around her legs, perfectly outlining her long, slender, and elastic legs without a hint of extra flesh, her sexy Achilles' tendon extending from her calf to her white ankle, practically measuring up to professional leg models!
Heizi kept peeking from the security room, speechless at Jiang Feng's romantic encounters, one after another, almost non-stop for twenty-four hours.
"Jiang Feng, you're such a troublemaker. I heard you fought again at noon, severely injuring someone and even forcing them to kneel before you?" Situ Yan took off her sunglasses and asked.
"Did someone report it?" Jiang Feng frowned.
"No, otherwise, do you think I'd come looking for you like this?" Situ Yan snorted.
"Then why are you here?" Jiang Feng asked, puzzled.
Situ Yan got frustrated. Could this guy not speak so abruptly?
"You're good-looking, can't I come to see you?" Situ Yan retorted irritably, "Why did you call me just now?"
"Wanted to ask you about someone—your superior, Mu Jianmin. What kind of person is he?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Mr. Mu?"
Situ Yan was taken aback and asked suspiciously, "Why are you asking?"
"Just wanted to know."
"Oh, Mr. Mu is much better than his predecessor, a true doer who worked his way up from the grassroots level, step by step. He fundamentally hates evil, similar to my principles, so I work quite comfortably under him." Situ Yan thought for a moment and gave a fair evaluation.
"That's good to know." Jiang Feng nodded, having obtained the information he wanted to know.
"Why did you suddenly ask about him?" Situ Yan was still curious.
"I heard he's watching me, so I asked." Jiang Feng remained calm.
Situ Yan froze, then understood, murmuring, "Mr. Mu must suspect that you saved me…"
Then she immediately assured Jiang Feng, "Don't worry, Mr. Mu has no ill intentions towards you because I've spoken highly of you to him."
"Mm."
"Though you're not that great in person…" Situ Yan added.
Jiang Feng: "..."
"Alright, I came today just to thank you, no time to do it yesterday." Situ Yan glanced around seeing no one was nearby, Heizi even retracted his head, she solemnly expressed her gratitude to Jiang Feng.
"You're welcome."
"How about having dinner together tonight?" Situ Yan suggested.
"No, I'm busy these days, maybe another time." Jiang Feng declined politely.
"Hmph, then you'll have to treat me next time." Situ Yan was getting increasingly frustrated, wondering why their conversations had to be so formal and distant, feeling her enthusiasm wasted.
"Fine, I'll head back now." Situ Yan huffed as she twisted her slender waist back to the car, stomped on the gas pedal, and sped away.
...
Watching Situ Yan drive away angrily, Jiang Feng glanced at a certain second-floor office, where the curtains were quickly drawn.
He knew that Bai Zhiqing had been "secretly" watching his conversation with Situ Yan just now…
Inside the office, Bai Zhiqing sat in her chair as if she were a thief, her heart pounding and her cheeks burning. Despite being so discreet, she had still been discovered by Jiang Feng…
