"Looks like the elevator has malfunctioned, it should be fine in a bit."
Xiao Yifeng said calmly, his expression very composed in the darkness.
"But Principal Lu, are you taking advantage of this situation to cop a feel?"
Xiao Yifeng smiled playfully.
Lu Xueqing’s face turned red as she said, "Who... who’s taking advantage of you?"
"Is that so? Then let go of me!"
Xiao Yifeng spoke as he tried to move away from Lu Xueqing’s embrace.
Lu Xueqing’s face changed as she clung tightly to Xiao Yifeng. Even though she was a university principal, she was also an ordinary woman.
In such a situation, fear was inevitable in her heart, and Xiao Yifeng was naturally the best support, like a life-saving straw to a drowning person, which she would not let go of easily.
"Since you took advantage of me first, don’t blame me for not being polite!"
Xiao Yifeng chuckled evilly and hugged her directly.
Lu Xueqing was caught off guard by Xiao Yifeng’s sudden move, her face turning beet red, but since it was pitch dark, she could see nothing.
"I’m just giving you a sense of security."
Xiao Yifeng pursed his lips.
Suddenly, the lights in the elevator came back on, and it began moving normally again.
Lu Xueqing pushed Xiao Yifeng away, stepping back several paces with a flushed face, staring angrily at Xiao Yifeng.
Lu Xueqing huffed arrogantly.
"You’re the one who moved closer on your own, how can you call me a jerk?"
Xiao Yifeng wore an innocent expression.
Lu Xueqing glared fiercely at Xiao Yifeng.
Soon, the elevator reached the floor of the sales department, and Xiao Yifeng walked out, returning here for the first time in a week.
"You finally showed up!"
A voice filled with reproach rang in Xiao Yifeng’s ear; he looked and saw Hong Mei standing in front of him, her eyes tinged with a hint of grievance.
"Sorry about that, I had to go abroad for something. Missed me, didn’t you?"
Xiao Yifeng whispered to Hong Mei.
"Pshaw, miss you? You disappeared for so long without giving me a call, I bet you’ve forgotten about me."
Hong Mei said with her lips lightly pursed.
"How could I? You’re my woman, how could I forget about you? Wait for me after work!"
Xiao Yifeng smiled mischievously.
Hong Mei’s expression turned shyly bashful as she gave Xiao Yifeng a brief glance, then turned and left.
Showcasing a mature charm now, this Hong Mei seemed to get more appealing over time.
"This woman is indeed becoming more flavorful."
Xiao Yifeng revealed a slightly lecherous smile.
Inside Ye Yaxin’s office, Lu Xueqing walked in.
"Xueqing, you’re here. Why is your face all red?"
Ye Yaxin, observing Lu Xueqing’s flushed face, couldn’t help but ask.
Lu Xueqing, somewhat flustered, quickly changed the subject, "Ya Xin, I’m here to tell you that our research project is complete. It’s basically a success now, and we’re just doing the final experiments."
"Really? That’s wonderful!"
Ye Yaxin’s expression was extremely excited, her eyes filled with a rare thrill.
"This is the fruit of our two-year-long labor!"
"It’s true. When I made that decision, I had my doubts, but I never expected it to actually succeed. This new type of energy, now successfully created, is definitely going to cause a massive reform and shock to the current energy market and other markets."
"It might even influence the entire country and the world. By then, Ye Corporation could skyrocket with this new energy, thoroughly becoming one of China’s top conglomerates. That way, I’d have lived up to my grandfather’s expectations and built upon the glory of the Ye Family!"
Ye Yaxin stated solemnly.
"Ya Xin, what you say is true, but you seem to have overlooked one thing. Once this new energy is released, you should be aware of the sensation it will cause."
"By then, many people will covet it, and even the national authorities will have their own plans. Then, both Ye Corporation and you will be in danger, and it’s still uncertain whether you can protect this new energy."
Lu Xueqing said gravely.
Hearing Lu Xueqing’s words, Ye Yaxin furrowed her brows lightly, "No matter what, this is the result of our efforts over more than two years. I’ve invested so much into it; we can’t just give up. Regardless of the dangers and difficulties, I want to try."
"Actually, you don’t have to worry too much. We still have him, don’t we?"
Lu Xueqing pointed out.
"Are you talking about Xiao Yifeng?"
Ye Yaxin’s eyes fixed on Lu Xueqing.
"Yes, isn’t he a man of no simple status, and with strong capabilities? With him around, there should be nothing to worry about."
Lu Xueqing spoke calmly.
Ye Yaxin looked thoughtful but didn’t speak.
After spending the morning at Ye Corporation, Xiao Yifeng proceeded to the place where Kuang Shi and his group stayed and met Lin Mu there.
Xiao Yifeng asked Lin Mu, who still had his right hand bandaged.
"I can feel it now, but since you weren’t here, it hasn’t been unwrapped!"
"Let me help you unwrap it. Today, you’ll be able to recover completely."
Xiao Yifeng removed all the bandages from Lin Mu’s right hand, revealing the black ointment. Xiao Yifeng cleaned it all off, took out the Silver Needle, and swiftly inserted several needles into Lin Mu’s right hand.
"Now, you can try moving it!"
Xiao Yifeng looked at Lin Mu as he spoke.
Lin Mu, feeling both nervous and excited, focused on his right hand, made an effort, and, at last, it moved, bringing an excited expression to his face.
Soon after, Lin Mu’s right hand began to move quickly and effortlessly. He threw a punch, unleashing a formidable force.
The arm that had been disabled was completely restored to normal after Xiao Yifeng’s treatment, stronger than before due to the modifications from Xiao Yifeng’s Starforce.
Now, Lin Mu’s eyes brimmed with excitement and joy, his face adorned with smiles.
