Gao Jianfei understood the situation, nodded, and left the ghost den.
In Moonlight Park, the rising sun casts rays of light. Gao Jianfei stands in the woods, bathed in dappled golden shadows, a truly picturesque scene. A confident smile radiates from his face. Although he's exhausted from a sleepless night, he's overjoyed… this all-nighter has definitely paid off! In just one night, he's mastered several skills! These skills might not completely change his life, but there's no doubt he's embarked on a bright and promising path, progressing steadily and surely!
At this moment, the voice of the intelligent program suddenly rang in Gao Jianfei's ears... "Dear user, I forgot to tell you that you have gained 500 experience points and 500 exorcism points for containing Zhu Cong this time. Please keep up the good work and contain more level 2 ghosts into the ghost den!"
Gao Jianfei smiled slightly, "Of course, you don't need to remind me. Every level 2 ghost I take in is a considerable fortune for me!"
Immediately, Gao Jianfei turned on the virtual display screen and took a look...
The Exorcist: Gao Jianfei
Age: 22
Level: 2
Exorcism points: 134, 1505
Experience: 1500
Experience required to upgrade to Level 3 Exorcist: 98,500
There are still 134 exorcism points left, enough to level up to level 2 ghosts again, but Gao Jianfei is not in a hurry. He plans to accumulate more exorcism points first!
It was getting late, and Gao Jianfei didn't plan to go home. Instead, he headed straight to the company. On the way, Gao Jianfei received a call from Liu Feng.
Over the phone, Liu Feng said, "Sir, I have taken care of what you requested. As for those who offended you yesterday, I only had them slightly punished, as you wished, and didn't completely eliminate them. Now they know that you are someone you absolutely cannot offend, so from now on, they will definitely behave properly and try to curry favor with you. In fact, if you need them to do anything, you can go directly to them, and they will absolutely not dare to say 'no'."
After a pause, Liu Feng added, "I know that someone like Mr. is a man who lives in seclusion and would never want to reveal his identity. Therefore, we didn't touch Zhang Liang, who offended Mr.. He will continue to work in the planning department of Alice Company. However, from now on, Zhang Liang's attitude towards Mr. will undergo a complete change!"
"Okay, thank you," Gao Jianfei said with a smile. He was very satisfied with Liu Feng's handling of the matter. Take Zhang Liang for example; if he had suddenly resigned, it would have inevitably caused some speculation within Alice Company's planning department. If this reached Fei Long's ears, Gao Jianfei would have had to spend time explaining. It wasn't that Gao Jianfei couldn't live without Fei Long, but both Fei Long and Tang Bao had connections with his father. If he did something slightly unusual and Fei Long or Tang Bao told his father, wouldn't his father be worried?
Gao Jianfei knew very well that his father's wish was simply for him to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life. So... at least on the surface, Gao Jianfei wouldn't be too flamboyant or show off his talents too much!
I took a taxi to the company.
This time, Gao Jianfei wasn't the first to arrive at the company. A beautiful figure walked ahead in the corridor, her high-heeled sandals clicking rhythmically on the floor. She was tall, about 1.7 meters, with long, shapely legs, a slender waist that looked very supple, and a shapely bottom that was tightly fitted under her black suit, revealing her curves.
Gao Jianfei recognized her from behind...it was Chen Xian.
To be honest, to be fair, in terms of figure and facial features, among the four women in the planning department, only Huang Cuiyun can rival Chen Xian! However… Chen Xian is taller and has a slightly better figure than Huang Cuiyun; importantly, Chen Xian is a few years younger than Huang Cuiyun, therefore, Chen Xian should be the most beautiful woman in the planning department. Of course, Huang Cuiyun has a refined air and a larger bust than Chen Xian, making her a beauty not to be underestimated. The remaining two are Qin Leshi, who is gentle, kind, well-mannered, and approachable; and Xiao Yanzi, who is innocent, lively, and youthful.
However, Chen Xian's personality is too strange. She is always cold and aloof, and she rarely talks to anyone except when it is necessary for work. Otherwise, she is too arrogant and too cold!
Therefore, Gao Jianfei didn't particularly like Chen Xian. However, Chen Xian's performance in the private room last night still impressed Gao Jianfei.
She volunteered to drink for Gao Jianfei. Moreover, representing the planning department, she single-handedly took on five men!
This shows that Chen Xian is not actually a block of ice; she still has thoughts and feelings.
In short, Gao Jianfei's attitude towards Chen Xian has changed drastically.
"Miss Chen!" Gao Jianfei called out and quickly walked over. However, as he passed by Chen Xian, Gao Jianfei's hands started itching... He used his nimble fingers to stealthily take a small item from Chen Xian's handbag and quickly put it into his pants pocket.
Gao Jianfei had no ill intentions. He had just learned the art of thievery and couldn't resist trying it out. Besides, he would find an opportunity to put the items back in Chen Xian's bag later.
Of course, it happened in the blink of an eye when Gao Jianfei "touched" that thing in Chen Xian's bag. Gao Jianfei didn't have a specific purpose in mind and didn't "touch" Chen Xian's wallet. So, Gao Jianfei himself didn't know what he had "touched" randomly.
Gao Jianfei moved too quickly for Chen Xian to notice. When she saw him run up, a strange light flashed in her eyes, as if she wanted to ask him something, but she forced herself to hold back and quickly regained her usual indifferent expression. She nodded slightly to Gao Jianfei, "Today, I'm earlier than you."
"Well, I drank some alcohol last night and had a bit of insomnia. I overslept this morning, haha, it's a bit late." Gao Jianfei casually chatted. "Ms. Chen, thank you for taking the drinks for me last night, thank you so much."
"It doesn't matter," Chen Xian said indifferently.
Just then, Zou Yan's voice rang out from behind, "Wait, I'll open the door!" The little girl called out as she ran over, holding a bunch of keys in her hand, looking very energetic.
Qin Leshi and Huang Cuiyun also came up from behind.
Everyone stood at the office door, waiting for Zou Yan to open it.
As Zou Yan opened the door, she asked Gao Jianfei, "By the way, Gao Jianfei, we drank a bit too much last night, but we still remember some things clearly... Just who are your friends? They seem really powerful! Even Director Dong and Secretary Song apologized to you. I just don't understand, just who are your friends?"
As soon as the question was asked, Huang Cuiyun, Qin Leshi, and even the usually indifferent Chen Xian all looked up at Gao Jianfei.
Their eyes held a strong sense of inquiry.
In fact, women are very curious, and they are all very gossipy... This is an undeniable truth.
Gao Jianfei said casually, "You've misunderstood! Of the three men who came into the private room yesterday, I only know one, the younger one. Actually, it's quite a coincidence. I met that man back in my hometown when we played World of Warcraft. We often ran dungeons together, and I even gifted him some gear! We got along very well chatting in the game, and later we added each other on QQ and exchanged phone numbers. Coincidentally, this man was in Huashi on business, and they were having dinner at Macau Doulao last night, so... hehe, we bumped into each other. We've video chatted before, and we recognized each other immediately. I don't really know what he does, but I think he probably comes from a wealthy or influential family. Last night, he just did me a favor, and he left Huashi by plane this morning. Hehe, I don't know if I'll ever see him again... In short, he's just a friend from the game, or you could say an online friend."
After a pause, Gao Jianfei emphasized, "If it weren't for the virtual world of games, given my family background and social circle, it would be impossible for me to meet those kinds of people, wouldn't it?"
As soon as he said those words, even Gao Jianfei himself thought... this lie was just too classic! He almost believed it himself!
Sure enough, the curiosity in the eyes of several female colleagues was dispelled by a sense of "I see".
"Heh, Xiao Gao, you've really met a benefactor!" Huang Cuiyun smiled faintly. "If it weren't for your online friend, I'm afraid... Alright, let's not talk about the past anymore, let's get to work!"
Once inside the office, everyone got down to work.
Zhang Liang came to work as usual today, but he was half an hour late. His head was wrapped in gauze, and he looked dejected. He didn't even dare to look Gao Jianfei in the eye.
Furthermore, he found a moment to be alone with Gao Jianfei, where he solemnly bowed and apologized, vowing to respect Gao Jianfei from then on. He had even offered to follow Gao Jianfei around and ask for his help. Gao Jianfei quickly refused, saying, "We're not on the same wavelength, and we can't see eye to eye. Let's just remain colleagues from now on!" Zhang Liang nodded humbly, receiving Gao Jianfei's forgiveness, and he breathed a huge sigh of relief.
In the afternoon, when work wasn't so busy, Gao Jianfei sat in his chair, listening to Qin Leshi explain how to prepare reports. After a while, Qin Leshi suddenly put down the documents in her hand and quickly said, "By the way, Gao Jianfei, some imported blockbusters will be showing in theaters soon, like Transformers 3, Journey to the Center of the Earth... Heh, I watched the trailers online last night, and they looked pretty good." After saying that, she glanced at Gao Jianfei casually, and there seemed to be a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Gao Jianfei said "Oh," and then said, "Miss Qin can invite Xiao Yanzi to go see it together. She seems very lively and likes to enjoy watching movies."
"Oh," Qin Leshi replied listlessly, a hint of disappointment in her eyes. However, she quickly put on a nonchalant act and smiled gently at Gao Jianfei. "By the way, Gao Jianfei, how do you usually spend your time after get off work?"
Just as Gao Jianfei was about to reply, his phone rang.
"Excuse me, Ms. Qin, I need to take this call." Gao Jianfei smiled apologetically, then pressed the answer button...
"Hello sir, I am Yaohui!"
Uh? Chen Yaohui, a high-ranking member of the Dongxing underground forces in G province.
"What do you want from me?" Gao Jianfei lowered his voice, turned his face away, and gave Qin Leshi his back.
A strange, uncomfortable feeling suddenly welled up in Qin Leshi's heart. She thought to herself... Who called Gao Jianfei? Why is he being so mysterious? It's like he's deliberately trying to avoid me!
Could it be... his girlfriend?
With that thought in mind, Qin Leshi actually pricked up her ears and started eavesdropping!
Given her personality and upbringing, she would never eavesdrop on other people's phone calls, read their text messages, or secretly look at their QQ chat history.
But today, her behavior was very unusual, and even she herself didn't understand what was going on!
"Sir, Yaohui would like to invite you to dinner tonight. I wonder if you are free?" Chen Yaohui asked on the other end of the phone, his tone a mix of probing and eager anticipation.
"Dinner? Let me think... Tonight? Hmm, I'm free." Gao Jianfei finally nodded. Although his father and Feilong had both warned him to never have any contact with or involvement with any underground forces, subconsciously, Gao Jianfei had a desire to get close to Chen Yaohui!
"That's wonderful, sir! That's really... that's wonderful!" Chen Yaohui exclaimed excitedly on the other end of the phone. "Then, sir, I'll drive over to pick you up at 7 p.m.!"
"Okay, let's meet at 7 pm then." Gao Jianfei and Chen Yaohui agreed on a meeting place, and then he hung up the phone.
Qin Leshi quickly pretended to be engrossed in reading the report, but she felt really bad inside! She was disappointed and a little sad... "He really did have dinner with his girlfriend, it really is like that."
"Ms. Qin, I'm sorry, a friend called." Gao Jianfei put the phone back and then said, "By the way, Ms. Qin, didn't you just ask me how you usually spend your time after get off work?"
Qin Leshi said somewhat coldly, "Alright, I have things to do now. Let's chat another day."
I'm angry!
She's angry!
However, she herself didn't know why she was inexplicably angry with Gao Jianfei.
She just pretended to work without looking back.
Gao Jianfei stumbled slightly, gave an awkward laugh, and realized that Qin Leshi seemed a bit off, so he didn't dare to approach her again. He then stood there, lost in thought.
There was a three-minute silence between the two sides.
Qin Leshi already regretted it... Why did I do that? He didn't do anything wrong, he didn't offend me, why was I so petty! Will he think I'm a fickle and petty woman? Will he get angry with me instead?
With that thought in mind, Qin Leshi secretly turned around, wanting to see if Gao Jianfei was angry.
Gao Jianfei, after a few minutes of dazed silence, a little bored and somewhat subconscious, took out the little thing he had "felt" from Chen Xian's bag that morning, ready to see what it was.
Uh... it's in plastic packaging, square, and not very big.
Gao Jianfei took that thing out! He really took that thing out!
Upon taking a look at it in his hand, Gao Jianfei was immediately dumbfounded!
At that moment, Qin Leshi turned around and saw what Gao Jianfei was holding... She was stunned! She was stunned too!
What Gao Jianfei was holding in his hand was... a condom!
Red Jissbon condoms!
"Uh..." Gao Jianfei noticed that Qin Leshi was looking over and saw the thing in his hand! Gao Jianfei froze, forgetting to immediately hide or put the condom away. "This... Miss Qin, what is this?"
Qin Leshi was truly furious!
It was an indescribable anger! In short, sparks were flying everywhere in my heart!
"This is a condom, Mr. Gao! It's from Jissbon. I've seen it in advertisements. Jissbon and Durex are two well-known condom brands," Qin Leshi said through gritted teeth, but her tone was very low. "Mr. Gao, what you're holding is a condom!"
"Oh... so this is the legendary condom!" In extreme embarrassment and utter bewilderment, Gao Jianfei was completely confused... "I... this isn't mine."
"Heh, Mr. Gao, do you think I, Qin Leshi, am an idiot? This isn't yours? You found it? You're telling me you didn't know what a condom was, and then you just happened to find one, and then you were curious at work and took it out to play with it, right?" As she spoke, Qin Leshi's nose stung, and she stood up abruptly, slamming the documents in her hand onto the desk. "I bet this is what you were planning to use tonight, isn't it? You've really disappointed me!"
After saying that, she walked towards the restroom without looking back.
Chapter Forty-Eight: The Glorious Road
Chapter Forty-Eight: The Glorious Road
Gao Jianfei felt he was wronged. He was truly wronged.
Seeing Qin Leshi, who never lost her temper and was always gentle and polite, turn away with red eyes and a stern face, Gao Jianfei felt incredibly wicked. He was still holding that Jissbon condom in his hand… what a sin!
Tragedy, tragedy.
Gao Jianfei quickly put the condom back in his pocket, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards Chen Xian. Chen Xian was engrossed in her work and didn't notice the awkward situation between Gao Jianfei and Qin Leshi. She was focused, aloof yet focused, her face beautiful and serene.
Gao Jianfei simply couldn't connect Chen Xian with that condom! But in fact, the condom was indeed "felt" from her bag. It was truly baffling!
Until the end of the workday, Qin Leshi didn't say a word to Gao Jianfei. Her pretty face was tense and frosty. Gao Jianfei didn't dare to provoke Qin Leshi either, so he just kept quiet, doing what he had to do and spacing out when he had nothing to do.
Gao Jianfei finally made it to the end of the workday and hurriedly left the company.
At 7 p.m., Gao Jianfei and Chen Yaohui agreed to meet on Ziyou Road. Chen Yaohui would personally drive over to pick up Gao Jianfei.
Ziyou Road is a dividing line between the flower market and the lake market.
