Indeed, Lin Feng was somewhat dissatisfied with the grand scene created by Wolf King and Liu Fei, but his anger was intentional. It was merely a way to express his stance and allow Wolf King to demonstrate some "brotherly support" in front of Liu Fei, which would be beneficial for building friendship between them.
After all, Lin Feng knew that Liu Fei, whether in terms of status or strength, was far superior to Wolf King. If Lin Feng were not in the middle, to put it bluntly, even a hundred Wolf Kings would not be able to catch Liu Fei's eye. This was unavoidable due to the significant gap in their abilities, and it was not Liu Fei's fault.
Lin Feng hoped that the relationships among his subordinates could improve. He wanted them to have some camaraderie beyond just being under his command.
This was also the reason why Li Zhong called Lin Feng tonight to say that Liu Fei and Wolf King wanted to invite him for drinks; he rushed over immediately because of this.
Thus, Lin Feng gave Wolf King and Liu Fei an opportunity to show some "brotherly support," hoping that their relationship would improve as a result.
Now, although there were no obvious effects yet, Lin Feng felt it was sufficient for the moment.
Next, seeing that Lin Feng did not pursue the matter further, everyone sat down to drink. After all, when men meet, it's customary to have a drink.
Of course, whenever Lin Feng was at the table, there were certain rules: everyone would first raise a glass for a toast, and then whether or how much to drink would be up to each person; there would absolutely be no pressure from anyone to drink excessively.
Naturally, Wolf King and the others were aware of this unspoken rule; presumably, Wolf King had informed Liu Fei and the others about it.
So after raising their glasses for a toast, everyone felt more relaxed.
As they continued drinking, Lin Feng suddenly felt the urge to use the restroom. It was quite normal to need to go after consuming alcohol.
"You all keep drinking; I'll be right back," Lin Feng said without any reservations as he stood up from his seat and left.
Everyone nodded in acknowledgment as they continued drinking.
Lin Feng had always had a good tolerance for alcohol, so even though he had already consumed nearly two bottles of beer, he still felt quite sober and easily made his way to the restroom.
After comfortably relieving himself, Lin Feng was ready to continue drinking in the private room.
However, as he passed through the hallway, Lin Feng spotted a familiar figure.
"Chen Li, what is she doing here?" Although Lin Feng only saw her back, he was certain that the person ahead was undoubtedly Chen Li.
Nevertheless, he quickly reassured himself; Chen Li was a white-collar worker, and it was perfectly normal for her to come here after work to unwind.
But before Lin Feng could walk over to greet her, Chen Li had already entered a private room.
Out of curiosity, Lin Feng walked over and looked through the glass door of the private room.
To his surprise, he saw Chen Li drinking with a man in his fifties inside the private room.
Instinctively, Lin Feng's thoughts took a turn for the worse.
In fact, at that moment, any man would likely have similar thoughts.
Well, regardless of whether Lin Feng's thoughts were misguided or not, he believed that the truth would soon be revealed.
In reality, Chen Li was just Lin Feng's new boss, and they had only interacted for two days. Logically speaking, if Lin Feng's assumption was correct, he shouldn't have this kind of curiosity—everyone has their secrets, after all.
However, at this moment, Lin Feng felt a wave of discomfort within himself.
How should he put it? It felt like seeing something that didn't belong to him suddenly being possessed by someone else—a feeling of unease. Perhaps it was Lin Feng's masculine pride or maybe he was just being petty; in any case, he had to admit that he indeed felt uncomfortable.
Perhaps, if Chen Li were currently drinking with a man of similar age and equal excellence, Lin Feng's discomfort would have lessened significantly. Of course, that feeling would still linger.
Well, since he decided to get to the bottom of things, Lin Feng began to take action.
At this moment, everything was still uncertain, and Lin Feng wouldn't foolishly barge in. He knew that doing so would be a very stupid move.
First, it would be awkward; second, and more importantly, Lin Feng had some thoughts about investigating from the shadows. After all, only by investigating discreetly could one uncover matters closer to the truth.
Regardless, Lin Feng had already released his Mental Power and began his investigation.
"Hu Zong, you are responsible for your company's advertising negotiations. It is truly an honor to meet you today," Chen Li's words echoed in Lin Feng's mind. With his Mental Power activated, Lin Feng could easily understand everything happening inside, including conversations and actions.
"Hehe... I've long heard of Team Leader Chen's reputation. To meet in such a place today is indeed an honor for me," Hu Zong said with a squint and a smile upon hearing Chen Li's compliment.
Of course, while his words sounded refined, Lin Feng could see something unsettling in his eyes.
This guy has ulterior motives.
When he mentioned "such a place," there was clearly an emphasis on those words, conveying a meaning that anyone could understand.
"Hehe... Hu Zong, let me toast you. I hope you will accept," Chen Li said with a smile as she raised her glass.
"Sure, sure, let's drink," Hu Zong replied, his small eyes narrowing even more in an irritating manner as he raised his glass.
Well, Chen Li merely suggested a toast, but he was ready to down it immediately.
Hearing and seeing this, Lin Feng understood why Chen Li had returned here; she was doing some Public Relations work.
Public Relations is a job that Lin Feng naturally understands; it is all about making clients happy.
However, Lin Feng despises this kind of work.
He particularly dislikes women doing this job. Men are tolerable; at most, they just accompany clients for drinks and entertainment. But when women take on such roles, it becomes rather intriguing.
Of course, despite Lin Feng's disdain, it cannot be denied that in this world, those who work in Public Relations are generally women.
For example, at this moment, Chen Li is a case in point.
After a few drinks, Chen Li and the manager surnamed Hu are no longer speaking in such formal terms. Chen Li's face is flushed, and Mr. Hu's small eyes are nearly squinting shut.
In the end, Lin Feng learns that this Mr. Hu is from "Rain Shield" company and is specifically responsible for the company's advertising.
This means that Mr. Hu has a certain degree of authority regarding who gets to do the advertising for "Rain Shield."
Lin Feng stands outside, coldly observing every move of Chen Li and Mr. Hu inside the private room.
He finally understands why he felt not only a sense of amazement when he first saw Chen Li, but also a feeling he could only describe as "vulgarity."
He is unsure whether he would push the door open and walk in if things continue to develop inside or simply leave without a word.
Soon enough, Lin Feng finds his answer—or rather, his subconscious provides one for him.
At this moment, the man surnamed Hu has already started to make advances on Chen Li.
In the end, he chooses to push the door open and enter.
“Chen Li…” The affectionate title “Sister Li” that had been on Lin Feng's lips since he first saw Chen Li had vanished, replaced by the more distant “Chen Li.”
Addressing her by name indicated the level of disappointment in Lin Feng's heart.
Initially, Lin Feng thought he had entered a cohesive group and was secretly pleased with his good fortune. However, tonight's encounter made him realize that he had been deceived by superficial appearances.
Thus, Lin Feng felt very disappointed.
“Oh, Lin Feng, what are you doing here?” Chen Li, who had been sharing a joke with Hu Zong, was surprised to hear Lin Feng's voice.
“Just passing by,” Lin Feng replied coldly but spoke lightly.
“Oh.” Chen Li truly did not expect to see Lin Feng here. Seeing his cold demeanor, she understood that he might have overheard something, but she didn't know how to explain it.
Perhaps she believed there was nothing to explain.
“This young man, who are you?” The man named Hu casually greeted Lin Feng. Upon seeing Lin Feng's youthful face and the conversation between him and Chen Li, he had a rough idea of Lin Feng's identity.
It wasn't that this guy was particularly insightful; rather, he could categorize Lin Feng within a certain range.
For instance, Lin Feng could be defined as Chen Li's subordinate or perhaps a friend who was one of her younger brothers.
Neither of these categories made him feel any fear.
“You don’t need to know,” Lin Feng replied coldly.
If Lin Feng felt disappointment towards Chen Li, then he felt anger towards the man named Hu.
"Hmph... Little brother has quite the temper." The man surnamed Hu was no pushover either. Knowing that Lin Feng was not here for a friendly visit, he stopped pretending and boldly reached for Chen Li's hand.
Lin Feng did not hesitate at all. He kicked Hu Man's hand away. Such actions in front of Lin Feng were absolutely intolerable.
"Ouch... Help! Someone is fighting here!" Hu Man did not expect Lin Feng to actually take action. Seeing Lin Feng's tall and strong figure, he realized he was no match for him, so he could only shout for help immediately.
Lin Feng ignored him, allowing him to continue shouting, and then took Chen Li's hand and left.
From start to finish, Lin Feng did not ask Chen Li anything, nor did he seek her permission; he simply took her away with an air of dominance.
Chen Li seemed to make little effort to resist.
"Let go! Lin Feng, let go of me!" It wasn't until they reached the door of the private room that Chen Li seemed to come to her senses and struggled.
Lin Feng did not continue to hold her but released her as she requested.
Now she wanted to see what this woman would do.
