On the way back, Ling Feng, somewhat puzzled, asked, "Tingyu, why did you speak up for that Chen Ting?"
Liu Tingyu sighed and said, "You men, you just don't consider things carefully. It's true that Chen Ting was at fault, but Zhou Ling had just taken office when she fired her, which could negatively impact Zhou Ling's authority. It might even label her as vindictive! After all, Chen Ting can't cause much trouble; if she makes another mistake later, Zhou Ling can still fire her. But for now, letting her off might make her grateful to Zhou Ling and help her manage the company well, especially since she is an ace salesperson and does have capabilities!"
Ling Feng looked at Liu Tingyu in surprise, not expecting Liu Tingyu to have thought about so much; indeed, people change noticeably after being apart for just three days!
"What is that look for!" Liu Tingyu jabbed Ling Feng and chided, "Hey, I was the secretary to the president at Chaoyang Group for several months; I have some insights because of that!"
Dinner was shared by Ling Feng and the two women. During the meal, Ling Feng told Liu Tingyu about the plot of land he had bought on the summit of Wolong Mountain to build a villa, and shared their concerns.
Although Yun Hanrui's face was slightly flushed, she very much agreed with the idea and took it upon herself to find a construction team.
Liu Tingyu did not argue with her, knowing that this was Yun Hanrui wanting to contribute to their new home, and she was happy for Yun Hanrui to do so.
"Tingyu, how's your thesis going?" Ling Feng asked, "It should be finished by now, right?"
Liu Tingyu nodded, "It's finalized. My advisor said it was quite good and has submitted it for consideration. They want it to compete in the outstanding university student paper selection, though I'm not too concerned about it. I just have to attend the defense at the end of May."
Yun Hanrui smiled slightly, "If there's nothing else, then come and help me quickly. These past few days without you, I've been somewhat overwhelmed!"
Seeing Yun Hanrui's slightly weary face, Ling Feng couldn't help asking, "Hanrui, how's work lately? You look a bit off?"
Yun Hanrui smiled and said, "It's nothing, probably just too busy! The Micro Dust Research Institute has already sent experts who have interfaced with our research institute at Chaoyang Group. Those shelved projects have restarted, so it's been a bit hectic."
"And your stomach problem?" Ling Feng frowned, "You must not forget to eat on time. If you starve, I won't let you off the hook!" Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet
A happy smile appeared on Yun Hanrui's face, "Don't worry, my stomach problem has almost healed; I've been eating on time lately and haven't had a relapse in ages."
"By the way, our Yan University is about to host its centennial celebration. Sister Yun, you must have received the invitation too, right?" Liu Tingyu said with a smile, "A century celebration, it's indeed Yan University's biggest event this year!"
Yun Hanrui said, "The invitation arrived at my place a week ago, but I haven't had the time to look at it, too busy!"
"No matter how busy work is, you still need to balance work and rest!" Liu Tingyu beamed, "Let's relax properly this time and see just how wonderful the centennial celebration at Yan University will be!"
Yun Hanrui nodded, "Alright then, I was actually thinking of skipping it."
After dinner, Yun Hanrui went home. Although Ling Feng wanted to embrace her, considering he was "seriously injured," Liu Tingyu and Yun Hanrui unanimously decided that until Ling Feng's injuries healed, any intimate contact was absolutely off the table, prioritizing his recovery above everything else!
Ling Feng felt helpless about it; he was about to say a little intimacy wouldn't hurt, but then it would seem like he was too lecherous. To maintain his noble image, Ling Feng just had to grit his teeth!
"Wasn't it just a month's time? I could endure it, and besides, if I really can't hold back..." Ling Feng's mind conjured images of Wei Meizi's enticing figure and her seductive moans.
"Hey hey, what are you thinking about now!" Liu Tingyu said with annoyance, "Looking at your lecherous expression, are you thinking about doing something bad?"
Ling Feng said earnestly, "What are you talking about? Am I that lustful? I was seriously thinking about what we should plant around our future house."
Liu Tingyu looked at him disdainfully, "Stop making excuses, you think I don't know what kind of person you are? I'll tidy up a bit; I have something to tell you later!"
Once Liu Tingyu had tidied up the kitchen and then sat in Ling Feng's lap, she said, "Ling Feng, Sister Yun has been very busy recently and has had many headaches. There was an accident at Biotech Park, and the construction was halted!"
"What happened?" Ling Feng frowned, the Biotech Park project was a collaboration with the Yanjing Municipal Government, how could it constantly have accidents?
Liu Tingyu said, "It's said that the government procurement department brought in a batch of substandard steel. When the building was being constructed, the rebar broke, killing three and injuring fifteen; the Biotech Park was shut down for construction on the same day, and the area is now under guard."
Holding Liu Tingyu's waist and smelling her fragrance, Ling Feng whispered, "Even so, what does this have to do with Chaoyang Group? If anyone should be worried, it should be the Yanjing Municipal Government!"
"That's true, but as the only partner, Chaoyang Group is under a lot of pressure. After all, many uninformed people have thrown mud at Chaoyang Group. Additionally, the procurement officer, trying to lessen his responsibility, implicated Chaoyang Group's finance manager. It seems there were some transactions between them; anyway, the situation is messy, and Sister Yun is very distressed, and there's nothing I can do!"
This matter is also related to Chaoyang Group? Ling Feng frowned; no wonder Yun Hanrui's expression had been slightly grim.
"Alright, I understand. Let's go to sleep early!" Ling Feng smiled and said, "I will investigate tomorrow to see what exactly happened!"
With that, Ling Feng picked up Liu Tingyu and headed towards the bedroom.
"Ah, I haven't taken a shower yet!" Liu Tingyu, hitting Ling Feng's shoulder, said, "I must tell you, I won't just let you be, you know?"
Ling Feng took Liu Tingyu to the bathroom, "Alright, alright, I know you have principles! I just wanted to hold you quietly and sleep, don't worry, I'm not in a hurry to move things along!"
After the bath, the two lay in bed cuddling. Liu Tingyu talked about everything that had happened over the month, while Ling Feng quietly listened, his hands sneakily reaching into her nightgown.
"Keep your hands to yourself!" Liu Tingyu slapped Ling Feng's hand and said, "You're making me very uncomfortable!"
Liu Tingyu's breathing grew more rapid, and Ling Feng whispered in her ear, "Since you can't hold back any longer, let's start. It won't bother me! You should know, holding it in for too long isn't good for your health either!"
In the darkness, Liu Tingyu struggled briefly and then was pressured down by Ling Feng.
"Ling Feng, you big jerk, you didn't keep your word..."
Better to believe in ghosts in the world than a man's words! Perhaps Liu Tingyu would now have a deeper understanding of this saying!
