In fact, the reason Lin Feng decided to tell Chen Li these things tonight was because he wanted to leave some of his intentions and principles in Chen Li's mind. He didn't like the kind of woman that Chen Li had previously shown herself to be.
He knew that after tonight, Chen Li should understand what he meant.
Some things are better left unsaid; not every word needs to be elaborated on.
There is a benefit to talking with smart people.
In the following days, Chen Li and her colleagues continued to work at the company, while Lin Feng remained idle. After that night, everyone knew they would be following Lin Feng, so naturally, they wouldn’t pay him much attention.
Moreover, even without what happened that night, no one commented on Lin Feng's idleness at work.
This is because, in the advertising industry, there is a high degree of flexibility. Even if you spend all day playing games online, as long as you can submit a satisfactory proposal on the day it’s due and your supervisor is lenient enough, you can still get by.
Of course, while the usual requirements may not seem very strict, if you fail to submit your proposal on the due date, then sorry, you can expect to be let go.
To say it’s harsh is an understatement; it really is quite brutal.
On this day, Lin Feng was still leisurely browsing the Computer expert forum when suddenly he noticed his Mobile Phone ringing.
Taking his Mobile Phone out of his pocket, Lin Feng realized it was a call from Liu Jing.
Ever since the last time when Liu Jing, in a fit of anger, hacked into Lin Feng's Computer, he had prohibited any online chatting with her. He had to be careful when speaking, fearing that he might inadvertently provoke this young lady again and end up with a virus on his Computer. That would put him in a passive position.
And Lin Feng had always preferred to take control rather than be reactive.
So, Lin Feng refused to chat with Liu Jing online, preferring to communicate over the phone for convenience. After all, neither Lin Feng nor Liu Jing were people who couldn't afford the phone bill.
"Hello..." Lin Feng answered the call.
"Lin Feng, are you free right now?" Liu Jing asked first.
"Um... I have quite a bit of work on my hands. What's up?" Lin Feng glanced at his computer screen. This guy had been browsing hacker forums for the past few days and had learned enough to complete some small tasks independently, but he hadn't finished his own tasks yet.
Hearing Lin Feng's words, Liu Yan, who knew that Lin Feng had been visiting hacker forums lately, couldn't help but laugh.
This guy is something else; is this really called work?
However, Liu Yan figured that it was best to just laugh it off. If Liu Jing found out, she would probably get furious and hack into Lin Feng's computer again.
"Well, today is the deadline for the contract between Rong Jie and Xu Qiu. Rong Jie is supposed to deliver today, so I thought it would be better to let you know. If you want to come, feel free," Liu Jing said.
"Oh, got it. You can handle this matter; there's nothing much to see anyway, so I won't go." Hearing Liu Jing's words, Lin Feng would have definitely gone in the past, but after the not-so-pleasant meeting with Su Rong last time, he suddenly didn't want to go anymore.
"Really? You're not coming?" Liu Jing was surprised and confirmed again.
"Yeah, you guys take care of it. Is there anything else?" Lin Feng asked impatiently.
"Nope, since you're not coming, we'll take full responsibility. Don't worry about it. That's it then; bye." Liu Jing had spent enough time with Lin Feng to know that when he got angry or emotional, he could be quite blunt like a child. So she wisely hung up the phone.
"Um... thank you!" At that moment, Lin Feng realized his attitude was off. After thinking for a moment, he thanked Liu Jing afterward.
"This is what I should do. I'm hanging up now." Liu Jing was filled with surprise upon hearing Lin Feng's last words of thanks. Although she didn't want Lin Feng to see her as an outsider and thank her, she was still pleased to see the change in his attitude, which was what she had hoped for.
The two happily ended their call, and then Lin Feng continued with his important tasks.
The reason Lin Feng said he was busy with work earlier was that he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Liu Jing. The tasks he was currently handling were not particularly challenging; they were all minor assignments. Lin Feng estimated that these tasks, which he could barely manage, would seem beneath Liu Jing's notice.
So, Lin Feng wisely chose not to be honest about it.
As time passed, Lin Feng finally made it to the end of his workday.
Although he had only been experiencing this for less than a month, to be honest, Lin Feng was already somewhat tired of the white-collar lifestyle. Perhaps at this moment, he finally understood what Su Rong had meant when she told him before.
Lin Feng remembered Su Rong saying that he wasn't the type who could sit in an office and live a leisurely life. At that time, Lin Feng was filled with aspirations for the white-collar life, but now he had to admit that Su Rong was right; he indeed wasn't suited for being a white-collar worker.
Fortunately, after a few more days, he would be leaving with Chen Li and the others to switch jobs, so Lin Feng felt he could endure a few more days.
In the company's restaurant, Lin Feng was having a working lunch with Liu Yang.
Lin Feng had never been picky about food; as long as it wasn't terrible, he enjoyed home-cooked meals just fine.
At this moment, he was happily devouring his lunch.
He was so busy eating that he couldn't even talk to Liu Yan.
There was no helping it; Lin Feng's appetite was larger than usual. This was still a result of him deliberately holding back. If Lin Feng were to eat freely, he estimated that it wouldn't be long before he became a well-known figure in the cafeteria, and Liu Yan would probably hesitate to eat with him again.
So, in order to continue having lunch with the beautiful girl, Lin Feng could only try to reduce his food intake, aiming for just half full.
Well, even if he only aimed for half full, Lin Feng's portion was still three times that of Liu Yan.
Of course, this was partly because Liu Yan ate relatively little.
So, at some point, Lin Feng noticed that although Liu Yan only ate one bowl of rice, she always ordered two bowls.
Later on, Lin Feng finally understood that one of those bowls was for him.
As a result, Lin Feng was now able to eat until he was sixty percent full, thanks to Liu Yan's extra bowl of rice.
From then on, Lin Feng and Liu Yan developed a kind of tacit understanding; Liu Yan had gotten used to bringing an extra bowl of rice for Lin Feng, and Lin Feng had also gotten used to receiving that bowl of rice from her after finishing his meal.
Everything felt so harmonious.
However, there was another factor that made it less harmonious: the gazes from the other male students in the cafeteria directed at him.
How could one describe their gazes? Let's put it this way: if looks could kill, Lin Feng would have died countless times already.
"Slow down while eating, Lin Feng," Liu Yan said more gently than ever, at least when it came to him.
"Hehe... I'm already eating slowly," Lin Feng replied as he continued shoveling rice into his mouth.
Liu Yan stopped talking and began watching Lin Feng eat.
At first, when Liu Yan finished eating and watched Lin Feng eat, Lin Feng would feel a bit shy. However, as time went on, Lin Feng became immune to it; she continued to devour her food while Liu Yan watched.
Liu Yan once asked Lin Feng how she could eat so much without gaining weight. At that time, Lin Feng confidently replied, "I'm the kind of person who doesn't gain weight no matter how much I eat."
Thus, Lin Feng once again endured the gaze of many male peers in the cafeteria.
"Ha ha... finally full," Lin Feng said while patting her belly after finishing her meal.
Lin Feng felt quite uncomfortable; she was only about sixty percent full but had to pretend to be at least ninety percent full. Yet, she could only continue the act.
"Here... a tissue for you," Liu Yan said with a smile, handing Lin Feng a tissue.
Lin Feng took the tissue from Liu Yan with familiarity; there was no need to say thank you anymore. She simply used the tissue to wipe her mouth.
At times like this, Lin Feng felt she was once again subjected to the scrutiny of the male peers present.
As everyone got used to it, Lin Feng became immune and gradually developed a tendency to "ignore" it.
Since she was done eating, Lin Feng walked with Liu Yan. She didn't particularly like the cafeteria; every time Liu Yan showed her extra care, they would attract the attention of many male peers. Although Lin Feng didn't mind, she always felt it was better to keep a low profile.
The cafeteria was on the first floor, while Liu Yan and Lin Feng's office was on the third floor. This meant that Lin Feng needed to take the elevator with Liu Yan to reach the third floor.
However, when they reached the elevator door, Lin Feng suddenly stopped in her tracks, then tapped her head and said to Liu Yan, "Liu Yan, I just remembered I have to meet a client. Why don't you go up without me?"
Lin Feng acted convincingly; in fact, it was so convincing that Liu Yan was fooled for the first time.
However, based on past experience, Lin Feng knew he could only deceive Liu Yan once, and today was already the fifth time he had said this to her.
"Comrade Lin Feng, are you sure you want to skip work this afternoon?" Liu Yan was now too tired to waste words with Lin Feng and asked directly.
"Boss, I really have to meet a client; we can't be late." It was one thing for Liu Yan to see through his trick, but he still had to keep playing along; otherwise, if Lin Feng skipped work, his salary would be deducted.
Lin Feng always believed that employees who had their wages deducted for skipping work were not good employees. Although he wasn't particularly talented, he still wanted to be a good employee.
He couldn't just let his salary be deducted casually.
"Fine, go ahead," Liu Yan said, having no way to deal with Lin Feng. In a few days, he wouldn't be at the company anymore, so she might as well let him have some freedom.
"Okay, I will talk well with the client and strive to secure the order." Seeing that Liu Yan agreed, Lin Feng knew his plan had succeeded and began to pat his chest in assurance.
Liu Yan didn't respond to Lin Feng but threw him a charming eye roll before heading up to the third floor.
Lin Feng could skip work, but she couldn't. Besides, she still had to help Lin Feng cover up his lie.
As a white-collar worker, Lin Feng always believed that having his boss cover for him was something worth being proud of.
