Chapter 120: Teasing the Little Secretary

In the blink of an eye, New Year's Day arrived.

Facing the treacherous international situation, Dragon Country remained in excellent shape.

Fengyi Technology, in particular, generated a profit of 145 million in December, submitting a superb report card.

It could be said that upon learning of this profit, everyone in the entire company was beaming with joy.

At this moment, Lin Yi was leading his little secretary, Li Li Xueying, CEO Yang Chen, and several key persons from the contracting parties

on an inspection of Fengyi Technology's 700-mu factory site opposite Foxconn.

The entire factory zone was projected to require an investment of 500 million Chinese yuan.

It would include a 150,000-square-meter workshop,

a 15-story office building, a 12-story research center,

and additionally, approximately 200 residential units.

For the first phase, Lin Yi had already invested 200 million into this project,

with the remaining funds to be advanced via a loan from the Pudong branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.

This factory was expected to complete its first phase of construction by March this year,

and a 150,000-square-meter workshop would rise from the ground here.

Compared to the pitiful 900-plus square meters of the workshop at the Songjiang Entrepreneurship Center,

this place was truly where Fengyi Technology's "Three-Seventy" would take flight.

Seeing the workers on the construction site working with fiery enthusiasm and the main framework of the workshop already completed,

Lin Yi, wearing a white hard hat, felt very satisfied with this progress.

"I hope your China Railway Bureau will use the best materials to build this workshop for me!"

"Rest assured, Lin Zong, the construction quality of our China Railway is famous in the industry; we would never tarnish our own reputation!"

A chubby supervisor said.

"That's good!"

Lin Yi remarked.

The group then proceeded to visit other construction sites.

However, it did not take long for Lin Yi to notice his little secretary, Li Li Xueying, limping.

Glancing at the black high heels on her feet, Lin Yi was just about to frown

when Li Li Xueying's ankle twisted, and she fell directly against him.

Instantly, an astonishing elasticity pressed against Lin Yi's arm,

and his nose caught a whiff of a fragrance unique to women.

Gently supporting this woman with an explosively good figure, Lin Yi then scolded:

"What is wrong with you, wearing such shoes to a construction site? Do you think this is a shopping trip?"

Hearing his rebuke, the little secretary immediately flushed crimson, looking somewhat at a loss.

"Forget it!" Lin Yi then glanced toward the company's CEO, Yang Chen:

"Old Yang, you take over the rest of the inspection here; tell them to speed up progress. I'm heading back first!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen glanced at Li Li Xueying, a smile playing on his lips as he said:

"Alright, leave it to me!"

Thus, Lin Yi took the little secretary back to the car.

Li Li Xueying felt somewhat embarrassed by that smile Director Yang had just given her.

Moreover, because of her, Lin Yi had ended the inspection early.

This made her feel even more ashamed.

Sitting in the back row, seeing her with her head bowed, Lin Yi asked with concern:

"Is your foot injured?"

"It's fine!" Li Li Xueying forced herself to endure.

Hearing this, Lin Yi did not bother with unnecessary words, saying instead:

"Let me see!"

"Ah!" Li Li Xueying had not expected Lin Yi to say such a thing.

"What 'ah'? Do you want me to look or not?" Lin Yi wasted no more words.

Immediately, Li Li Xueying, her face red, hesitated for a moment

before extending her beautiful legs clad in black stockings.

It had to be said, this pair of beautiful legs belonging to the little secretary was truly impactful,

straight and slender; just these legs alone were enough for one to admire for a long time.

However, although Lin Yi's gaze was also attracted, he mainly focused on examining her ankle.

Tearing the stocking slightly, he saw the somewhat swollen and red ankle.

It was clearly sprained just now.

"Old Xing, go buy a bottle of Honghua Oil nearby!"

Lin Yi said to Xing Ming, the bodyguard outside the car window.

"Yes, Boss!"

After speaking, Xing Ming departed immediately.

"A-actually, there's no need... Lin Zong,"

Li Li Xueying stammered.

"Listen to me, otherwise, I estimate you won't be able to brew coffee for me tomorrow!"

Hearing someone speak like that, Li Li Xueying snorted inwardly with dissatisfaction:

"Does this guy think I'm a coffee-making machine? But could you please remove your hand from my foot?!"

However, although she thought this in her heart, she did not say it aloud.

In fact, she had already been employed at Fengyi Technology for over a month.

During this month, she had witnessed Lin Yi's diligence firsthand.

Even though he had already earned so much money, he still demanded strict discipline from himself.

For instance, regarding what time he arrived at the company in the morning; as the company's boss, he had never once been late whenever he came to the office.

Furthermore, President Lin treated the company's workers quite kindly.

For example, there was one time when the small company cafeteria served employee meals that did not meet standards.

Lin Yi immediately scolded the supervisor in charge of company catering, dismissed him from his post, and replaced him with another person.

From then on, the food in the small cafeteria inevitably met the standards for every meal.

On another occasion, a worker operated improperly, causing an accident.

Without a second word, Lin Yi sent the worker to the hospital, with all medical expenses borne by the company.

Based solely on these matters, not a single employee in the company failed to respect this young boss.

And as Lin Yi's secretary, Li Li Xueying naturally witnessed all of this firsthand.

In her eyes,

Lin Yi was a boss who was hardworking, ambitious, responsible, and compassionate.

Naturally, she did not dislike such a person.

He was nothing like her previous company, where that bald old man, whose eyes were always full of lust, constantly tried to take advantage of her.

It was precisely because of this that she had not struggled just now.

Moreover, somehow, she felt a secret joy rising in her heart instead.

At the very least, Li Li Xueying had just seen a fleeting look of appreciation for her legs in Lin Yi's eyes.

"I thought you were made of stone!? Turns out you're not!"

Thinking back over this past month, she had been treated by Lin Yi purely as a tool.

With such a great beauty right in front of him, he had stubbornly acted as if he saw nothing the entire time.

It had gone so far that Li Li Xueying began to wonder if she was overestimating herself and simply not as beautiful as she imagined.

It was a waste that she often practiced yoga through self-study.

It seemed now that she still possessed some attractiveness.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Xing Ming walked over holding a bottle of Honghua Oil.

Lin Yi took it, applied the Honghua Oil to his little secretary's ankle, and rubbed it gently.

Very quickly, Li Li Xueying felt a warmth spreading through her sprained area.

"When I was young, I once went into the mountains and twisted my ankle; it swelled up extremely high.

My mother got a bottle of Honghua Oil and rubbed it for me, and not long after, my foot was healed..."

Lin Yi said.

Seemingly recalling events from his childhood, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"President Lin, is your hometown in the mountainous region of Guizhou Province?"

Li Li Xueying asked.

"Mm, and it's the kind of deep mountains where reaching the nearest county town requires crossing fifty li of mountain roads.

The mountain roads were difficult to traverse; when I was young, I could only go to the county town during festivals..."

Hearing this, Li Li Xueying looked at this somewhat handsome boss before her.

Who could have imagined that the boss of a company now earning hundreds of millions monthly had such a difficult childhood?

In comparison, Li Li Xueying, whose parents were both civil servants in Hunan Province, had practically lived in sweetness during her childhood.

"Then, does President Lin still have any family back in his hometown?"

Li Li Xueying couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Mother, Father, and a younger sister who is in her second year of junior high school this year!"

Lin Yi said.

Immediately afterward, he realized: Why am I telling all this to this little secretary of mine?

"It should be about enough; give it a try!" Lin Yi said.

Then, he withdrew his hand.

Upon hearing this, Li Li Xueying pulled her foot back and immediately discovered that her ankle indeed did not hurt as much as before.

"It really works!"

"Of course it works; it's a secret method taught by my mother; it would be strange if it didn't work!"

After speaking, Lin Yi said: "Alright, let's head back to the company first!"

"Mm!" Li Li Xueying nodded.

2.5

Then, the two vehicles left the construction site and headed toward the park of the Songjiang Entrepreneurship Center.

On the way, Lin Yi asked the little secretary beside him, who remained silent:

"Where do you live now?"

"I live in an old residential compound in Minhang District; the rent is exorbitantly expensive, and that old witch of a landlord always comes to collect rent before the due date!"

Li Li Xueying complained with dissatisfaction.

"Then wouldn't you have to get up very early in the morning?"

"Yes, I have to squeeze onto the subway, otherwise I'd definitely be late!"

Li Li Xueying said.

"That is indeed quite difficult!"

Lin Yi continued, proposing:

"How about having the company rent a high-end apartment for you nearby!"

"Really!" Li Li Xueying's eyes lit up.

"Mm, considering you are part of the company's management anyway, renting an apartment isn't excessive!"

Lin Yi said with a smile.

"That's wonderful; I can finally say goodbye to that old witch!"

Li Li Xueying laughed with great joy, clearly having been oppressed for a long time.
