Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Carefree Junior Clerk In the office, everyone turned their attention to the two figures, eagerly anticipating the drama that was about to unfold. "Can’t believe how thick-skinned you are. Looks like I’ve been wasting my breath for over an hour, huh?" Xie Zhifu clenched the thermos in his hand—this guy was shameless. "How do you know I was scolding you? Maybe I was praising you." Lin Fan crossed his legs and sneered, "You’d better not mess with me, or the director might have to invite me over for a sit-down. If that happens, I won’t come out for less than three hours, and we’ll see who really suffers!" "You..." Xie Zhifu, face flushed with anger, pointed at Lin Fan. Although he didn’t grasp the hidden meaning in his words, he felt a sense of inexplicable humiliation. Just as he was about to explode, Qu Liping’s cough echoed from the doorway. Seeing his wife arrive, Xie Zhifu immediately perked up, puffing out his chest in expectation of her support, only for Qu Liping to glare at him harshly: "Why aren’t you staying in your car, you’re always running to the office for what?" "Ah..." This sudden reprimand stunned Xie Zhifu, his face wearing an expression of shock as he looked towards Qu Liping. Why was his own wife turning her elbow outwards and siding with that youngster? Meanwhile, the others were murmuring among themselves. "What ’ah’? Get out of here quickly. I’m warning you, don’t hang around the office if there’s nothing important, or I’ll make you go live in the rural towns below!" Qu Liping, with a stern face, could no longer spare Xie Zhifu’s feelings. Provoking Lin Fan again could get her into loads of trouble. This time her strike was particularly vicious; even now, her legs felt somewhat floaty. "Okay... okay!" Stunned by the scolding, Xie Zhifu hesitated. He hadn’t expected Qu Liping to lash out at him, but as someone who always relied on his wife, he dared not talk back, hurriedly grabbing his thermos and heading out, though his eyes brimmed with discontent. "Lin Fan, just focus on your work then. If there’s anything, go to my office to report at any time." Qu Liping put on an official show, her gaze sweeping over the rest of the office staff, scared they might provoke Lin Fan and she’d have to step in to soothe things over. Now, she literally couldn’t afford to provoke or escape from the situation, not knowing how she would survive the coming days. "Thank you, Director." Lin Fan grinned and nodded, his eyes sweeping over the others. Everyone quickly lowered their heads. If even the office director didn’t dare to offend, who else would dare bully him now? It wasn’t until noon that Lin Fan stretched lazily and left the office. After having shuffled through here for five to six years, it was the first time he felt his job was easy. Just as he rode the elevator to the ground floor, a fragrant breeze blew past him, and a young woman in her twenties approached him cheerfully. "Feng, you came to work! Haven’t seen you for several days. I sent you messages but you didn’t reply. Where have you been?" The woman was named Chu Shihan, a staff member in the Ministry of Human Resources on the seventh floor. She had just graduated from college this year, so she was still brimming with youthful charm. Her attire was cute, and she didn’t abide by the so-called workplace rules. They had met two years ago on a forum for modern poetry, but Lin Fan never expected her to become his colleague in reality. Because Lin Fan’s online name was Sui Feng Zhu Jiu, Chu Shihan had always called him Feng. They sometimes ate lunch together, but because his ex-girlfriend was jealous, Lin Fan had intentionally been avoiding her. "Took a yearly break; just went fishing." Lin Fan smiled, looking at Chu Shihan in her black long dress, youthful with full collagen on her face, making her appear adorable. Her figure was neither thin nor plump, curvy in all the right places, and her bag was adorned with various cartoon patterns, giving her an air of youthfulness. "Why didn’t you take me? It’s because you were afraid of your sister-in-law getting jealous, right?" Chu Shihan wasn’t foolish. She naturally knew why Lin Fan was avoiding her. "We broke up, you don’t have a sister-in-law anymore." Lin Fan gave a sheepish smile. Now, recalling his ex-girlfriend no longer stirred any emotions in him. Since she chose that disgraceful path, he thought, let her go on. "That’s great, congratulations!" Upon hearing this, Chu Shihan didn’t offer any condolences. Instead, with evident joy, she hugged Lin Fan’s arm and said, "She really wasn’t worthy of such a talented man as Feng. It’s better to have split early. Let me treat you for lunch today; let’s have a good meal to celebrate." "Okay, I guess." Having always skirted around the issue, Lin Fan no longer needed to worry about being snitched on. Soon after, the two left the building, but Chu Shihan pulled him into a black Volkswagen car. The ride to the restaurant was filled with laughter and conversation. During the meal, they chatted amiably, and Lin Fan could clearly see the fiery adoration in Chu Shihan’s sparkling eyes. After they had finished eating, his phone rang. Seeing a new number, Lin Fan pressed the answer button in confusion, only to hear Chen Jiayi’s voice coming through: "This is my new number; save it. With the director’s dirt in hand, she ought to be very compliant. Take the afternoon off and come shopping with us. Remember to bring your ID." "Sure, no problem." Although Lin Fan didn’t know what was really behind Chen Jiayi’s request, he still picked up the phone and made a call to Qu Liping. "Master, your orders?" The call connected almost instantly. Qu Liping’s voice was compliant, yet tinged with panic. "Don’t be so nervous; I’m just not coming to work this afternoon. Just letting you know." Lin Fan grinned smugly while holding his phone. "Master, come whenever you want, don’t come if you don’t feel like it. No need to inform the bitch; the bitch is always ready to heed Master’s call!" It had to be said, Qu Liping’s training was incredibly professional—a suite of demeaning titles, all of which were quite thrilling to hear. It seemed there might be an opportunity to have some more fun with her. Content after a satisfying meal, Lin Fan rode back in Chu Shihan’s car to the compound. His ID was in the car, and since the two women were still back in their village, he needed to pick them up. "Feng, now that you live alone, won’t you be bored?" As they were saying goodbye, Chu Shihan didn’t forget to look at Lin Fan: "If you’re free tonight, why not invite me for a drink? I can really hold my liquor now, and I could help you tidy up the house." "Okay, I got it." Lin Fan wasn’t obtuse. He could clearly hear the girl practically throwing herself at him. Going to his house for a drink—what would likely follow? Naturally, it would lead to the joys of flesh. That developing chest of hers must be very soft. As for her slightly doll-like figure, it surely would be more supple than that of a mature woman. However, he really didn’t have the time for romance currently. After all, handling someone else’s wife lately was keeping him rather busy. At least, he needed to bed Chen Jiayi and Zhao Jiaqi, the sister duo, first. As for this little flower, she could wait to be plucked another day.
