After leaving the villa, Zhao Qi felt his whole body relax a lot. The feeling of being on thin ice in front of Xiao Feng, not daring to take a breath, was something he never wanted to experience again in his life.

Chang Xinyan would certainly also put pressure on him, but compared to the pressure felt from Xiao Feng, it was like a drizzle.

The reason is simple, if Chang Xinyan gets angry, at most you just suffer a few scoldings, at worst you might lose some benefits, but Xiao Feng is different. He can really destroy you, as evidenced by the Shen Group and Duan Guotai father and son.

At this moment, Chu Mengting, who had been walking with her head down, timidly raised her head and said, "Manager Zhao, my cousin is actually quite nice, not as scary as the rumors say."

It's not that Chu Mengting was trying to climb up the ladder; it's just that Xiao Feng had told people she was his cousin, so she naturally couldn't say otherwise.

Little did she know, only she believed this; everyone else didn't take it seriously. Given Xiao Feng's vindictive and extremely protective nature, if he really had a cousin, would he let her do sales work?

Obviously not!

"Well, I didn't believe it before, but now I do. Your cousin... isn't as ferocious as they say," Zhao Qi nodded in agreement and then said, "Tomorrow, I'll have someone arrange an office for you. Pack up your things and move up, just opposite my office. It'll be easier to take care of things."

"Huh?" Chu Mengting was stunned. The reason she said those words just now was that she didn't want the outside world to deliberately "uglify" Xiao Feng's image, but how did it end up with her moving to the top office?

But Chu Mengting was not stupid, she immediately realized the problem: "You're arranging the office for me because of my cousin?"

"Don't overthink it. Your cousin didn't specifically instruct me to take care of you. I'm doing this because of your ability," Zhao Qi said with a white lie, which effectively confirmed Chu Mengting's statement.

In terms of ability, Chu Mengting had worked for over a month without selling a single house. She barely closed a big deal, but it didn't generate any profit for the company. Instead, it cost the company a villa for nothing.

An employee like this would likely have been let go in other places, but Chu Mengting not only received an 800,000 reward, her status also rose rapidly. This was obviously illogical.

"Wha... what am I supposed to do in the office?" Chu Mengting took a deep breath and asked.

Zhao Qi seemed as if he hadn't considered this at all, casually replied, "Anything, play with your phone, drink tea, chat when bored. In short, you'll get all the benefits as long as you continue working at Jinyue Group."

Upon hearing this, Chu Mengting suddenly felt uncomfortable. She wasn't someone who could wholeheartedly accept protection, but with her family's current instability, she had no choice but to agree for now, planning to reassess once everything was back on track.

...

After dinner, Zhao Guo'an didn't go home immediately but sat quietly in the living room listening to everyone summarizing their day's accomplishments while continuing to study the golden ball Xiao Feng had given him.

Before long, Xiao Feng came out of the study, and the discussions paused.

It seemed like something just occurred to Du Qingyue, who then asked, "Right, what did you do with Mr. Zhao this afternoon?"

"There was some trouble on Bozai's side." Xiao Feng, unperturbed and quick-witted, replied, "Chen Xiuxiu's brother Chen Feihu went to his house and beat him up, so he called me."

"And how did it turn out?" Du Qingyue asked with concern.

"That's a question you shouldn't even ask," Xiao Feng said calmly, "I've personally stepped in; could there be a second outcome?"

Zhao Guo'an, who was listening nearby, couldn't help sucking his teeth at Xiao Feng's confidence. This guy's level of subtle bragging was unparalleled among anyone he had ever met!

And the most excessive part was that he didn't mention what happened afterward. He only told half the story and kept quiet about the rest, without showing a hint of embarrassment. Truly shameless to the extreme!

However, he had no idea that Xiao Feng didn't mention going to the hospital not because of guilt but because explaining it was too troublesome. Plus, Su Yuzhuo and Du Qingyue didn't get along well, so he avoided stirring up trouble.

"Brother Xiao Feng, did you beat up Sister Xiuxiu's brother?" The little girl asked excitedly.

"You could say that." Xiao Feng nodded in acknowledgment and said, "And he has agreed to follow my orders for the next month. If those ninjas come back, he can help."

"Brother Xiao Feng is awesome!" The little girl cheered and jumped in excitement, looking like a full-fledged fangirl.

Jiang Yixin and Du Qingyue exchanged glances, their worries subsiding a lot.

Even though no one mentioned it, everyone was still bothered by the previous incident. Having someone like Chen Feihu as an ally now was undoubtedly a great thing.

As for Chen Feihu's capabilities, everyone had faith that someone Xiao Feng managed to recruit wouldn't be an ordinary person.

At this time, Jiang Yixin saw the little girl staring at Xiao Feng with admiration and couldn't help but ask with disdain, "Let me ask you something. Do you admire Xiao Feng more, or Chai Yanna more?"

The little girl rolled her eyes at her and said irritably, "This question of yours is really unnecessary. Brother Xiao Feng is unparalleled in my heart; don't think of causing discord here."

"I was just speaking normally, who's causing discord?"

"Asking such an obviously targeted question, isn't that causing discord? Do you think I'll fall for it?"

"You're simply unreasonable. You're not a worm in my stomach, how do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Sister Jiang, give up. With these wise eyes of mine, I've already seen through your essence."

In a few words, a quarrel broke out once again between the two, leaving Du Qingyue rather helpless. She could only sigh and think that these two were truly natural-born enemies, unable to have a normal conversation that didn't end in a fight.

Thinking about this, Jiang Yixin's comment reminded Xiao Feng of Zhao Guo'an's peculiar expression when hearing the name "Chai Yanna." He then pulled Du Qingyue over to Zhao Guo'an and softly asked, "Be honest, what did you leave unsaid before?"

"I don't understand what you mean." Zhao Guo'an replied, bewildered.

Xiao Feng voiced his suspicions, and Du Qingyue perked up her ears, clearly curious about the matter.

"Oh, so that was it." Zhao Guo'an suddenly understood and explained, "To be honest, I've seen Chai Yanna. I ran into her while tending to a very wealthy man's health. How should I put it... she's not as pure as she looks."

"Are you saying she used a wealthy man to gain a higher position?" Xiao Feng pressed.

Zhao Guo'an replied, "I'm not privy to any exchanges of interests involved, but I saw with my own eyes when she entered, she took off the wealthy man's pants, and then... ahem, you can probably guess the rest."
