Chapter 25: Tearing Off the Mask Completely

"Thump, thump, thump..."

Gu Ran tapped her fingers rhythmically against the office desk.

With a serious expression, she looked at Ye Feng and Li Feng and spoke slowly: "Does anyone here know about the Tianhai Technology Group?"

Ye Feng frowned; this question had truly stumped him!

Regarding the Tianhai Technology Group, he knew absolutely nothing.

"The Tianhai Technology Group is a subsidiary of the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce, focusing on technology, electronics, and new energy industries. It is a company with very deep strength and holds a pivotal position in the industry!"

At this moment, Li Feng stood up and spoke with full confidence.

Gu Ran nodded and waved her hand to signal Li Feng to sit down.

Immediately after, she continued: "There is an important cooperation opportunity before us now. This cooperation is a crucial battle for us to break into the new energy industry!"

"Furthermore, since the Tianhai Technology Group belongs to the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce, as long as things proceed smoothly, we will surely be able to establish a connection with the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce. This will be the most important move for our company's future listing!"

"Therefore, the cooperation with the Tianhai Technology Group is of vital importance to us."

Hearing Gu Ran's words, the two nodded in unison.

"Additionally, I am going to announce something very important here!"

Gu Ran paused for a moment, then said solemnly to Ye Feng: "Ye Feng, from now on, you are promoted to assistant and bodyguard."

"You will take charge of this cooperation with the Tianhai Group, and Li Feng, you will serve as his deputy."

Ye Feng felt a shock in his heart. This woman, she had actually handed over such an important matter to him so easily; was she really not afraid that he would stab her in the back?

Beyond the surprise, Ye Feng also felt immense pressure!

Since Gu Ran trusted him, he had to do this job well. It was clear that this opportunity was likely a very important matter for Gu Ran.

"Oh right, Ye Feng, move your workstation to the office next to mine!"

"Alright, that is all. You two may go out first."

After finishing, Gu Ran waved her hand, signaling that the two could leave.

The two nodded and walked out one after the other.

"Backdoor-dealing trash!"

As soon as the door closed, Ye Feng saw Li Feng glaring at him viciously, muttering curses.

Ye Feng frowned; why was this idiot starting trouble again?

He looked at Li Feng coldly and said: "Don't make false accusations. I joined this company based on my own abilities."

"Hmph, I'm warning you, you'd better stay away from Gu Ran, otherwise, you'll have a hard time!"

Li Feng let out a cold snort; now, he was no longer hiding his malice at all!

Hearing Li Feng's warning, a sense of stubbornness welled up in Ye Feng's heart.

He lifted his chin slightly, looked Li Feng straight in the eye, and said: "What right do you have to demand this of me? Is Gu Ran your mother?"

Li Feng's gaze turned cold: "Just by the fact that I came to the company before you and am more qualified to protect her than you. You guy who got in through the back door, stay away from Gu Ran, or I won't let you have it easy."

Ye Feng sneered: "I didn't use the back door; I got in through my own ability."

"Besides, I won't stay away from Gu Ran just because of your threats, unless she asks me to do so herself."

Li Feng's eyes widened in anger: "You'd better remember what you said today, or you'll regret it."

After saying this, he turned and left in a huff.

Ye Feng stood where he was, his heart full of helplessness.

He did not understand why Li Feng held such great hostility toward him.

Just then, Gu Ran happened to walk out of the office. Seeing that Ye Feng's expression was somewhat unpleasant, she frowned and asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Ye Feng hesitated for a moment, but decided not to tell Gu Ran about what had just happened, simply saying faintly: "It's nothing, let's go back to work."

However, Li Feng's warning had left something behind in Ye Feng's heart.

He could tell that Li Feng liked Gu Ran; he had even come to view Gu Ran as his own possession!

Although this was none of Ye Feng's business, he felt particularly uncomfortable whenever he thought about it.

"Did Li Feng give you trouble again? I'll go find him!"

Gu Ran seemed to have sensed something, and as she spoke, she was about to go find Li Feng.

Ye Feng grabbed Gu Ran's hand and said repeatedly: "No, no, no, it's nothing!"

"Are you really okay?"

Gu Ran looked at Ye Feng suspiciously, completely forgetting that her hand was being held by him.

Ye Feng nodded heavily and said: "It's really nothing!"

Then, he invited Gu Ran: "Oh right, let's go to the cafeteria to eat together. I haven't tasted the food in our cafeteria yet."

Gu Ran frowned, but she did not refuse: "Alright, let's go down first!"

As she spoke, she started to walk forward. After only two steps, she suddenly realized that she seemed to be holding something in her hand. Looking back, it was Ye Feng's right hand.

She looked at their tightly clasped hands, then looked at Ye Feng, and her pretty face instantly flushed with a brilliant red glow!

"I... I'm sorry!"

Seeing this, Ye Feng hurriedly let go of her hand, scratched his head, and gave a sheepish laugh.

Afterward, the two walked into the elevator one after the other. Because it was the president's private elevator, it was exceptionally fast; in just over ten seconds, the two had descended to the second-floor cafeteria.

After getting their food, the two sat opposite each other, silent.

The people eating nearby all had their heads down, seemingly discussing something, but the voices were very low, and Gu Ran could not hear them.

However, that did not mean Ye Feng could not hear them!

Ye Feng's body had been transformed by the Xuantian Sacred Scripture, and his hearing was extraordinary, so he could basically hear everything.

Ye Feng scratched his head and thought to himself: "Why do these people like gossiping so much?"

At this moment, while picking up a piece of meat with chopsticks, she said, "Ye Feng, is your relationship with President Xie very good?"

Ye Feng frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "It can't be considered very good; I just happened to help him once."

Gu Ran also frowned, and then she continued, "Ye Feng, this project collaborating with Tianhai Technology Group is truly especially important!"

"It not only concerns our department's performance but also has a major impact on the company's development; I hope you can treat it seriously!"

Ye Feng listened earnestly and nodded slightly to show his affirmation.

"I know what to do, General Manager Gu; I will go all out to ensure the cooperation proceeds smoothly."

Gu Ran's eyes revealed determination: "We must work together with one heart to do this project well; there cannot be the slightest slack."

Ye Feng looked at Gu Ran's energetic appearance, and a sense of fighting spirit surged in his heart as well.

"Rest assured, we will definitely succeed."

Amidst the noise of the cafeteria, the two looked at each other very firmly, and then, they silently began to eat.

On the other side, in a corner of the cafeteria.

Li Feng watched this scene quietly, his expression growing colder and colder: "Ye Feng, you just wait for me!"
