"I'll treat the wound on your face." Ye Fei frowned upon seeing He Jingyao's swollen face. He then took out the family's medicine box and began to carefully apply a thick layer of ointment to her face.
"Alright, you'll rest at home for the next few days. As for the company matters, you can leave them to the people below," Ye Fei said, leaving no room for refusal.
"I understand. With my current appearance, I can't be seen by anyone! However, I'm still worried about the company. Ye Fei, why don't you go to the company in my stead tomorrow?" He Jingyao, now completely at ease with Ye Fei, asked directly.
"Okay, I got it. Don't worry, the injury on your face looks bad, but I estimate it'll heal in two days." Ye Fei said confidently. "I'll buy some medicinal ingredients for you when I get back from work tomorrow. Then I'll prepare a topical ointment that will help you recover faster and leave no scars."
During this period, Ye Fei's presence had already left a deep impression on He Jingyao's heart. The image of Ye Fei coming to her rescue alone had repeatedly replayed in her mind. As if guided by an unseen force, He Jingyao stepped forward, embraced Ye Fei, and nuzzled into his arms, whispering, "Ye Fei, thank you for saving me again." Perhaps due to the fright, He Jingyao could only find a sense of calm when she was with Ye Fei.
Ye Fei initially intended to pull away, but after a few seconds of thought, he remained frozen in place, making no movement. A short while later, the woman in his arms fell asleep. Ye Fei then carefully picked her up and carried her to her bedroom. After tucking her in, Ye Fei quietly withdrew.
By the next morning, the redness and swelling on He Jingyao's face had slightly subsided. However, she was still unable to leave the house. Therefore, the important task of going to the company today fell upon Ye Fei. Ye Fei drove his car alone towards the company. Today was also the day he was scheduled to take the company's products to the Wanhe Commercial Center for the second round of selection. After placing the company's documents and products in the car, Ye Fei drove off quickly.
The Wanhe Commercial Center is located in the new city center of Jiang City, and has now become a new landmark building. After more than an hour of driving, Ye Fei finally arrived in front of the lobby of the Wanhe Commercial Center. Four security guards in uniform, with sharp eyes and carrying stun batons, stood guard at the entrance.
"Sir, please present your appointment proof!" the four guards said politely. Ye Fei, having prepared thoroughly, directly took out a crumpled appointment confirmation from his pocket. After the four guards examined it, they opened the automatic doors and allowed Ye Fei to enter.
The building Ye Fei was entering was the office tower of the Wanhe Commercial Center, which stood fifty stories high. As Ye Fei was waiting for the elevator, the sound of leather shoes tapping on the ground approached him. Ye Fei kept his gaze straight ahead, paying no attention to the surrounding commotion.
"Brat, is that you?" "How come you're here?" A slightly shrill voice, clearly laced with disbelief, called out. Ye Fei frowned and then turned his head.
"Brat, I finally caught you today!" The person speaking was Dai Gao, He Jingyao's classmate, with whom Ye Fei had previously had a conflict at the Cloud Top Hotel.
"My business has nothing to do with you!" Ye Fei, wanting to finish his task quickly, had no time for further arguments.
"Pretty boy, this is not a place you should be!" "Did you sneak in with someone?" "Let me tell you, everyone who works here is an elite!" "Get out of here now!" "Otherwise, I'll have you thrown out!" Seeing Ye Fei on his turf, Dai Gao instantly became arrogant and started to mock Ye Fei.
"I'm in a good mood today and don't want to argue with you. Otherwise, for those words you just said, I would definitely teach you a lesson!" "Get lost!" Seeing the elevator arrive, Ye Fei didn't want to waste any more time talking and prepared to get on the elevator. However, at this moment, a few security guards who were close to Dai Gao suddenly emerged from Dai Gao's side and instantly surrounded Ye Fei.
"Haha, you brat, you dare to be so arrogant on my territory? Then I'll teach you a lesson first!" He then turned to the security guards and said, "Tian Ge, this kid sneaked in. You must make him suffer a bit!" "After work, I'll treat you all to a good meal!" Dai Gao had been working at the commercial center for several years and had managed to build some connections.
"Alright, Tian Ge, I'll definitely teach this kid a lesson!" Although Tian Ge was a new security guard, his position here was not low. "Good, then I'll entrust everything to you, Tian Ge!" Dai Gao said obsequiously. Then, he snorted coldly and got on the elevator.
"Kid, today you can only blame your bad luck!" "Tian Ge is in a good mood today. If you're willing to beg for mercy, I can let you off lightly!" Tian Ge, with a small braid, said smugly. Ye Fei burst into laughter and, not wanting to waste more words, said coldly, "I am here today on official business!" "Is this place completely controlled by a few small fries like you?" "If that's the case, then I'm truly disappointed!" Ye Fei shook his head and turned to head towards the lobby.
"Stop right there!" "You two, take him down!" Tian Ge was only able to act domineering in private; when it came to public matters, he became somewhat flustered. However, their speed was far too slow compared to Ye Fei. Ye Fei strode directly into the lobby. At this point, Tian Ge and the others no longer dared to be as audacious as before.
"Kid, you stop right there!" "I haven't finished speaking!" Tian Ge gritted his teeth. Then, the two subordinates beside him quickly stepped forward and blocked Ye Fei's path. Ye Fei's good mood for the day had been ruined by these people.
"Get out of my way!" With a wave of his hand, Ye Fei sent the two subordinates sprawling to the ground. "He's hitting people!" "Grab him!" The four security guards who were originally at the entrance heard Tian Ge's words and rushed forward, surrounding Ye Fei.
"Fifth Brother, this kid injured our companion without reason. Hurry and detain him!" Tian Ge, playing the victim, shouted. Ye Fei's brow furrowed, clearly reaching the brink of anger. However, these people remained oblivious, still clamoring to teach Ye Fei a harsh lesson.
