Chapter 10, filled with jealousy

It was not until a year later that Wang Feng began working at the Intelligence Department. As the chief secretary to the director, Li Xiaodan was particularly attentive to the newcomers in the department. Before long, she noticed that Wang Feng, who had recently joined the Intelligence Department and possessed a handsome and cool exterior, was different from others, and she focused her attention on observing his actions and demeanor.

Wang Feng, who always tends to envision the worst-case scenario and make the most pessimistic assumptions, felt that the situation was not so simple. However, for the moment, he could not imagine what it could be.

However, after she laughed for quite a while, she suddenly stopped her laughter, then reined in her smile, and her expression underwent a complete transformation of one hundred and eighty degrees. She shot a glare at Wang Feng and, in an annoyed tone, began to question him, saying: "Wang Feng, what have you been thinking about all this way? Did you not hear anything I said? Wang Feng, be honest, were you thinking about your college fiancée at our Jiangshan Normal University? Speak up quickly, is it true or not?"

This Secretary Li is named Li Xiaodan. Shortly after the establishment of the Special Affairs Department of the Japanese puppet government police bureau in Shangjiang City, she began working in the Special Affairs Department and was appointed as the confidential secretary to Li Yuntian, who had just been appointed as the head of the Special Affairs Department.

Although Li Xiaodan, filled with jealousy, was very curious about what Wang Feng was thinking as he seemed distracted throughout the journey, she found his words quite reasonable. If their somewhat irritable director were to get angry because of their late arrival, both of them would be in trouble.

In this way, Wang Feng would often find reasons to visit Li Xiaodan's office under the pretext of handing over work documents, spending some time chatting with her. Initially, Wang Feng's intention and ultimate goal were to secretly gather information from Li Xiaodan, but from Li Xiaodan's perspective, this was simply a manifestation of Wang Feng's growing affection for her

In order to maintain this seemingly intimate relationship, Wang Feng has never made things clear, and Li Xiaodan has naturally remained in the dark all along. Even now, after learning that Wang Feng has a fiancée who is a female college student, Li Xiaodan has not given up on her pursuit of Wang Feng

Ahem, well, Section Chief Wang, I was just joking with you earlier, you mustn't take it to heart. This time, it was indeed the Director who asked me to call for you, not that I came here on my own accord to see you.

"Ah, what happened, what happened?" After Li Xiaodan exclaimed loudly with an "Ah," she startled the person who was lost in thought, and upon regaining her senses, she exclaimed in shock.

As the saying goes: the speaker has no intention, but the listener is attentive. Secretary Li merely repeated what he had heard from a few minor members of the action team in the office, casually mentioning it in front of Wang Feng. However, at this moment, Wang Feng felt that his "unmarried couple" relationship with Liu Min had already become known to everyone in the office.

However, throughout this journey, Wang Feng always felt somewhat uneasy. This was because, when he and Li Xiaodan passed by the corridor in front of Zhang Mingyi's office, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the office door out of the corner of his eye and discovered that the door, which had not been locked just moments ago, was now securely locked.

Hehe... hehe... No, nothing happened, hehe... hehe... Look how scared you are. I didn't expect you, Wang Feng, to be so timid. Upon seeing this, Li Xiaodan immediately burst into laughter.

However, after she withdrew her small hand, she continued to ask somewhat unwillingly: "Alright, I know you didn't mean it just now, so I forgive you. But you must tell me, were you thinking about your fiancée who is studying at the normal school all the way here?"

"Hmph, this is much better. I thought you had found yourself a little lover and had forgotten about me, your old flame. It seems that I still hold a certain place in your heart," Secretary Li, who had just been fuming in her heart, felt her anger diminish significantly upon seeing Wang Feng obediently open the office door and make a gentlemanly gesture to invite her in. She then let out a soft huff and said with a sense of satisfaction.

"What a pity to have to do this, letting you hold my hand just once. I never expected you to be so ruthless, using such strength. Look, your grip has made my hand a bit swollen," Li Xiaodan said, glaring with her almond-shaped eyes, as she placed her now reddened hand, which had just been tightly held by Wang Feng, in front of him and began to complain in an annoyed tone.

Hearing the words of Secretary Li filled with resentment made Wang Feng feel that he had probably angered her again. He immediately moved the lock that had not yet been closed and hurriedly opened the office door, welcoming Secretary Li in from outside. He politely said: "Secretary Li, look at you, why are you still angry with me? I was just worried that our department head would be anxious, so I didn't let you in right away. Since it wasn't the department head who sent you to find me, then please come in and have a seat."

Let us not stand here any longer; please take me to the private room upstairs quickly. Upon hearing Li Xiaodan's inquiry, Wang Feng felt overwhelmed, unsure of how to respond. Suddenly, he remembered the purpose of their outing and immediately brought up their department head, urging her to hurry while avoiding the main topic.

This woman is indeed a creature that is prone to jealousy. However, in the face of Li Xiaodan's thunderous reprimand, although she did not intimidate Wang Feng, who possesses a strong psychological resilience, their presence in the not overly crowded crowd attracted the attention of many people nearby and those passing by.

The reason Li Yuntian selected Li Xiaodan from among the dozens of female staff in the special agents' office to serve as his confidential secretary is that Li Xiaodan, shortly after joining the office, demonstrated her innate ability to navigate social situations and charm others, coupled with her outstanding appearance and impressive figure, which allowed her to stand out.

Oh, then let's go. After Wang Feng came to his senses, he quickly closed the open office door and locked it, then replied in a casual tone.

However, there was a fish that had fallen into the net. The brief moment of surprise that lingered on Wang Feng's cheek for only a few seconds caught the attention of a person who was sitting alone, facing the door of the private room, and gazing ahead... It happened to fall into the gaze of this person, whose eyes were like two daggers...

According to common reasoning, if Zhang Mingyi, who has been eyeing him closely, is not in the office and has gone out on a mission, then for Wang Feng, he naturally no longer needs to be on edge and can comfortably remain in the office to work

Thus, after weighing the pros and cons, Li Xiaodan heeded Wang Feng's advice and refrained from persistently questioning further. Instead, she shot Wang Feng an annoyed glance, let out a cold snort through her petite and delicate nose, and then turned around, walking ahead of Wang Feng to take the lead.

"You, you, you, let go of me quickly. Wang Feng, you, you are hurting me." During the three to five meters that Wang Feng was striding towards the Tongfu Restaurant while holding Li Xiaodan's small hand tightly, Li Xiaodan, with her brows furrowed in pain and her red lips lightly bitten, protested loudly with all her might.

Secretary Li stood outside the office for about ten minutes. Upon hearing Wang Feng's indifferent remarks, she immediately became angry, snorted coldly, and said: "Hmph, I have been waiting outside your office for such a long time, and you just send me away like this without even inviting me to sit in your office. You are truly heartless. Don't ask me to do anything for you in the future; I will no longer pay you any attention. Just because the director didn't call me, does that mean I can't come on my own?"

In terms of qualifications from her work at the intelligence agency, her credentials are somewhat older than those of Wang Feng, who came later

After arriving at the entrance of the lobby on the first floor of Tongfu Restaurant, Wang Feng suddenly stopped in his tracks, as if he had been electrocuted. He quickly released the small hand of Li Xiaodan, which had turned red from being tightly grasped. He then took out a handkerchief folded into a square from his pocket and wiped the beads of sweat, the size of small peas, that had appeared on his forehead. Adopting an innocent expression, he stammered, "Secretary Li, I, I apologize. Just now, there were simply too many people coming to laugh at us, and I, I had no choice but to act this way."

Wang Feng, who oversees the General Affairs Section of the Intelligence Bureau, manages the accounts meticulously and organizes the Bureau's operations in an orderly manner, earning the appreciation and trust of Director Lu Yuntian. All of this has been observed by Li Xiaodan, who has been secretly watching him. Consequently, Li Xiaodan has developed a one-sided affection for Wang Feng

As the two of them gradually became familiar with each other, they would occasionally chat a few words during the handover of work. Li Xiaodan, who was already somewhat indiscreet, revealed quite a bit of information that was deemed confidential by the department in front of Wang Feng. The information gleaned from Li Xiaodan was of great use to Wang Feng.

When Li Xiaodan, who was leading the way, opened the door to the luxurious private room, Wang Feng, who followed closely behind, stepped inside and, upon seeing several people seated around the round table, displayed a fleeting look of surprise on his otherwise impassive face within a few seconds.

At that moment, he felt somewhat taken aback. Because whenever something reached Secretary Li's ears, it would not take a day for everyone in the office to know about it

Following behind Wang Feng, Li Xiaodan walked into the main entrance of the first-floor lounge of Tongfu Restaurant, and then proceeded up the stairs, entering a luxurious private room located at the far left of the second-floor corridor

Seeing that more and more onlookers had gathered around them, Wang Feng, in a moment of urgency, did not have time to think much. He reached out with one of his strong and sturdy hands, grasping Li Xiaodan's delicate hand, and broke through the encirclement, striding towards the Tongfu Restaurant, which was still three to five meters away from them.

Originally, Wang Feng was an outstanding student in the Accounting Department of Yanjing University. He quickly received support from Lu Yuntian and took on the position of General Affairs Director, which appeared to be leisurely but was actually quite lucrative. Due to Wang Feng's frequent interactions with Li Xiaodan, who served as the secretary to the department head, the two gradually became familiar with each other.

Well, Secretary Li, we have already arrived in front of Tongfu Restaurant, and we have wasted some time on the way. I believe the director, who must have been waiting for us in the private room, might get impatient if we keep him waiting. If that happens, we will be in trouble.

Secretary Li, standing in front of the door without making any move towards the office door, saw Wang Feng's astonished expression after listening to his words, and felt a sudden jolt in his heart, silently lamenting: It's over, it's over, I must have said something wrong just now, otherwise, Wang Feng wouldn't have reacted with such surprise and dismay

The subtle look of astonishment on Wang Feng's face did not linger for long, merely a few seconds, flashing by without drawing much attention from the people gathered around the round table who were engaged in lively conversation

Just as Wang Feng was racking his brains to ponder why Zhang Mingyi was not in the office, he suddenly heard Li Xiaodan beside him scream loudly in his ear: "Ah..."

"Secretary Li, I apologize for keeping you waiting outside. I have just finished the remaining tasks. It was the section chief who asked you to call for me, right? Just in time, I don't have any urgent work on hand either, so why don't we leave together?" As Wang Feng, who had just completed his work, opened the office door and stepped out, he was about to lock the door without raising his head and spoke to Secretary Li, who was standing nearby, in a nonchalant manner.

"You came back to the office today; I just learned from the director. Otherwise, I would have been the first to come see you. The director is probably already waiting for us in the private room reserved at Tongfu Restaurant, so let us not waste any more time here and hurry over. " Upon noticing the atmosphere suddenly becoming quite awkward for Secretary Li, he pretended to be relaxed, cleared his throat lightly twice, and then adopted a serious demeanor, speaking in a pretentious manner. It is likely that the director is already waiting for us in the private room reserved at Tongfu Restaurant, so let us not waste any more time here and hurry over. " Upon noticing the atmosphere suddenly becoming quite awkward for Secretary Li, he pretended to be relaxed, cleared his throat lightly twice, and then adopted a serious demeanor, speaking in a pretentious manner.

On the way to Tongfu Restaurant across the road, which was not very far, Li Xiaodan was like a cheerful little bird, chattering incessantly in Wang Feng's ear. She poured out the words that had been pent up in her heart during the three days she had not seen him, while Wang Feng, walking alongside her, despite the cold sweat beading on his forehead, did not interrupt her even once.
