"Ha ha... I'm late." Although Lin Feng hadn't actually arrived late, he said this anyway, considering that the beautiful woman had already arrived before him.
"No, it's me who came early, Mr. Lin." At this moment, Xiao Yue had already switched to her usual competent demeanor and spoke to Lin Feng while extending her fair hand towards him.
"Just call me Lin Feng." Lin Feng also extended his hand in response and said to Xiao Yue.
"Okay, then you can call me Xiao Yue." Xiao Yue nodded and replied, then they shook hands. Xiao Yue's hand felt very soft, but Lin Feng only gave a light grip before politely letting go.
"By the way, this is my good sister, her surname is Lin, and she's also a beauty," Xiao Yue said after greeting Lin Feng, introducing the smiling Lin Mei who stood beside them.
Since she wasn't sure if Lin Mei wanted Lin Feng to know her name and identity, Xiao Yue kept the introduction vague.
"Oh, Miss Lin, hello. It's nice to meet you." In response, Lin Feng continued to pretend he didn't know and extended his hand towards her.
"Hello, Mr. Lin. I'm Lin Mei; it's been a while." Lin Mei maintained her smile, neither too happy nor too sad, and shook hands with Lin Feng with great poise. To Xiao Yue's surprise, not only did Lin Mei shake hands with Lin Feng, but she also proactively introduced herself.
"Well, now that everyone knows each other, how about we go to my favorite coffee shop?" Although surprised, Xiao Yue was there to thank Lin Feng today and thought it would be nice to find a place to sit down and chat.
"I have no problem with that; it's a date with beautiful women. I wonder what Miss Lin thinks?" Since arriving here, Lin Feng had been interacting with Xiao Yue and Lin Mei as a friend. Therefore, he spoke in an appropriate manner. The casual mention of "beautiful women" fit well with the identity he was portraying as a wealthy heir; after all, if he acted shy or overly modest, it might raise suspicions.
"Ha ha... I'm fine with that; please lead the way, Mr. Lin." Unlike Xiao Yue, Lin Mei was polite but still referred to him as "Mr. Lin."
Thus, the three of them took two cars to the coffee shop that Xiao Yue mentioned. Of course, Lin Feng made sure to follow behind Xiao Yue; he couldn't let on that he knew where she frequently went.
Upon arriving at the coffee shop, Lin Feng parked the car and followed Xiao Yue and the others inside to sit down at the spot where Xiao Yue usually sat.
"Ha ha... this place is quite nice; the environment is great." After sitting down, Lin Feng casually glanced around and commented.
"Yes, it's just a place for leisure; their coffee is pretty good too. What would you like? You can choose; it's on me," Xiao Yue said with a smile upon hearing Lin Feng's remark and encouraged both of them to order coffee.
"I'll have a cup of coffee without sugar." Lin Feng didn't take much time choosing; he simply stated his preference.
From their meeting until now, Lin Feng had been very casual in his demeanor, which helped create the impression that he was completely unaware of Xiao Yue and Lin Mei's identities.
"I feel the same way." Lin Mei suddenly looked up at Lin Feng, smiled, and said.
Lin Mei naturally knew that Lin Feng's demeanor was quite casual, but at this moment, she felt a sense of familiarity with him. However, upon closer inspection, she couldn't pinpoint what exactly made her feel that way about Lin Feng.
The coffee was served, and Lin Feng stirred it with a small spoon before quietly sipping it. At that moment, the three of them remained silent, simply savoring the coffee.
The aroma of the coffee was rich, and the main purpose of drinking coffee was to appreciate its strong fragrance.
After a brief taste, Lin Feng and the others instinctively set their cups down.
"Well... it seems Lin Feng is also someone who understands coffee. I invited you out today not only to get to know my savior but also to express my gratitude in person," Xiao Yue said at this moment.
"No need for that; you're too polite. It was just a small effort on my part," Lin Feng replied, having anticipated that Xiao Yue would want to thank him.
"It may have been a small effort for you, but for me, it was undoubtedly life-saving. Just thinking about what could have happened if they had taken me away is terrifying," Xiao Yue said, clearly still shaken by the experience.
Evidently, Xiao Yue's gratitude towards Lin Feng was sincere; at least, she gave off that impression.
"Alright, I believe Mr. Lin is not a superficial person, right?" Lin Mei said upon seeing Xiao Yue's demeanor, then smiled at Lin Feng.
"Yes, Xiao Yue, you don't need to say that," Lin Feng nodded in agreement and took another sip of coffee.
"Okay, let's stop talking about gratitude. Lin Feng, how's your job search going?" Xiao Yue asked as she shifted the topic.
"Perhaps it's because I'm not very capable; I still haven't found a suitable job," Lin Feng said with a bitter face.
"Take your time. How about this? I'll introduce a company to you. If you're interested, you can give it a try, okay?" Xiao Yue suggested.
"You aren't going to introduce me to your family's company, are you?" Lin Feng asked at that moment.
Given his background as a wealthy second-generation individual and seeing Xiao Yue with such a nice car, he guessed that her family was also in business; thus, it was reasonable for him to ask.
"Ha ha... you guessed right! But since you're so skilled, why not come work as my personal assistant?" Lin Mei said at this moment, clearly wanting to offer Lin Feng a job as well.
"Ah..." This time, Lin Feng was truly surprised. He never expected that Lin Mei would introduce him to become her personal assistant.
At that moment, Lin Feng felt an impulse to agree immediately. After all, what He Ting wanted him to do was to get close to Lin Mei, and becoming Lin Mei's personal assistant would undoubtedly be the closest position to her.
However, he knew that Lin Mei was not an ordinary person; this statement might just be a test.
So, Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said to the two of them, "Thank you for your kindness, but I want to find a job based on my own abilities. I'll go check the talent market."
Lin Feng was retreating to advance. He knew that Xiao Yue genuinely wanted to help him at that moment, but Lin Mei would likely not allow him any further contact with Xiao Yue. Therefore, she wouldn't easily let him enter Xiao Yue's company; perhaps this was the reason she came here today.
Of course, Lin Feng did not believe that she was truly here to help him; she was more likely here to sabotage his good intentions.
Did she not go so far as to recruit Lin Feng as her personal assistant?
Lin Feng was also aware of the true relationship between Xiao Yue and Lin Mei. Lin Mei was the adopted daughter of the Lin family, while Xiao Yue was the future daughter-in-law of the Lin family. Anyone with a little awareness would know these two pieces of information.
With this relationship in place, it was understandable that Lin Mei would want to prevent any contact between Xiao Yue and himself.
This was why Lin Mei's presence today surprised Lin Feng; he knew he had to be extra cautious around her, or else it would be easy for her to become suspicious.
Nevertheless, today Lin Feng was determined to enter Xiao Yue's company. After all, the entire plan of heroically saving the beauty was originally laid out for this purpose; he had no reason to give up.
The reason for his refusal was that he felt accepting now would easily raise Lin Mei's suspicions.
Lin Feng was a smart person, so he naturally understood that raising Lin Mei's suspicions would be a foolish act.
"Lin Feng, don't be so stubborn. Just give it a try for me, okay?" Xiao Yue thought for a moment and said this, even though she knew that speaking like this in front of Lin Mei might not sit well with her.
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Yue finished speaking, Lin Mei's brows furrowed slightly.
This reaction was something Xiao Yue had anticipated.
She hadn't planned to come with Lin Mei today, but who knew that early in the morning, Lin Mei called her asking if she had found the person who saved her? At that time, Xiao Yue could only respond affirmatively because she understood Lin Mei well enough to know that she must have already gathered information about Lin Feng. If she had responded negatively, it might have only raised more suspicion from Lin Mei. In the end, Xiao Yue estimated that Lin Mei would still inform her about Lin Feng's identity.
Then she still had to come along with her.
To be honest, Xiao Yue felt quite helpless about Lin Mei's supervisory behavior. After all, although Xiao Yue was destined to be the granddaughter-in-law of the Lin family, Lin Mei's actions seemed to imply that she was overseeing Xiao Yue for the sake of her future husband.
As a woman, she did not appreciate this kind of supervision; it inherently suggested a lack of trust.
Thus, at this moment, the rebellious feelings within Xiao Yue led her to make a request for Lin Feng to join their company.
Aren't you trying to keep me away from Lin Feng? Fine, I'll bring him into the company and interact with him every day. I want to see how you will handle that. This was the little thought in Xiao Yue's mind at this moment.
"Uh, I see. Alright, I'll give it a try. By the way, what position do you want me to try for?" Lin Feng smiled and asked as he noticed Xiao Yue was so "sincere."
"Weren't you just saying that Sister Mei wanted to recruit you as her personal assistant because of your excellent skills? I trust Sister Mei's judgment, so why don't you come and try being my personal assistant?" Xiao Yue said somewhat defiantly.
Moreover, this statement left Lin Mei with nothing much to say.
"Oh, okay then. I'll give it a try. Thank you, Xiao... President Xiao." At this moment, Lin Feng felt ecstatic; he hadn't expected Xiao Yue to act so impulsively. However, no matter what, the outcome was good, and he had taken a small step toward success.
He knew that soon Lin Mei wouldn't let him stay around Xiao Yue for long. She didn't want to offend Xiao Yue, at least not openly. As the president of the group, she would soon transfer him to the group headquarters. By then, he would truly enter Lin Mei's circle, and his plan would finally be realized successfully.
