<h4>Chapter 1006: Chapter 1013: Leng Feifei’s Ordeal</h4>


    At this moment, inside the vi, Leng Feifei sat on a luxurious sofa, holding a cup of tea, appearing somewhat uneasy.


    Opposite Leng Feifei sat a man in his thirties.


    The middle-aged man was handsome, with very well-maintained skin, even fairer than a woman’s. His hair was sleek, and he had a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth, exuding a great deal of masculine charm.


    Looking at Leng Feifei who kept her head down and remained silent, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Feifei, what’s wrong? Not saying a word."


    Leng Feifei forced a smile and said, "Mr. Han, I’ve reported everything about thepany, and there are still some matters waiting for me to handle, so I won’t take up more of your time. I’ll let you rest." Saying this, Leng Feifei put down her teacup and stood up, intending to leave.


    However, Han Mingchao stood up first and blocked Leng Feifei’s way.


    "Feifei, it’s already mealtime, no need to rush back to thepany. Besides, it’s rare for you to visit me, and if I don’t keep you for a meal, the employees will say I’m stingy." After a pause, Han Mingchao continued, "I have some work to handle at thepany after lunch, so you can ride back with me then."


    "Mr. Han, I..."


    "Feifei, if you refuse again, you’ll be embarrassing me." Han Mingchao feigned anger.


    Leng Feifei hesitated for a while, not daring to offend her superior, and finally agreed, saying, "Alright then, I’ll stay."


    "That’s how it should be." Han Mingchao said with a smile, "Alright, sit down for a bit. The housekeeper went out to buy groceries and should be back soon." With that, Han Mingchao looked at the empty teacup and said, "I’ll go refill your tea."


    Watching Han Mingchao disappear into the kitchen, Leng Feifei let out a breath, her unease gradually subsiding.


    After a while, Han Mingchao came back with a cup of freshly brewed Da Hong Pao tea, saying with a smile, "Here, try this tea. I went through a lot of effort to get this top quality Da Hong Pao, it’s hard to buy it in the market."


    "Thank you, Mr. Han!" Leng Feifei thanked him, hurriedly taking the tea.


    "Feifei, you’re a university graduate. Every year, ourpany recruits many fresh graduates like you. However, among so many graduates, your abilities stand out the most, and in just a few months, you’ve surpassed employees who have been with thepany for years. During department meetings, your manager often praises you, saying you should be cultivated well. Feifei, you know, ourpany values talent greatly, and as long as you truly have the ability, I don’t mind offering you a higher sry and benefits."


    "Rest assured, Mr. Han, I will certainly work hard and not disappoint you."


    "That’s for the best." Han Mingchao nodded with a smile, "Actually, for young people like you, working in apany is merely a search for advancement opportunities. However, everyone wants to climb up, but there’s only one position, which inevitably leads topetition among colleagues. Of course, thepany encourages healthypetition, but people are unpredictable. Sometimes, to achieve their goals, they might resort to all means, even abandoning basic conscience. So, the workce isn’t easy. Even if your skills are strong, if you don’t know how to y the game, you’ll never surpass others."


    "Feifei, I’ve been observing you for a while. In the few months you’ve been with thepany, you get along well with colleagues, and whenever someone asks for your help, you never refuse. I understand your feelings; you want to build good rtionships with colleagues and foster a diligent atmosphere in thepany. However, doing so doesn’t mean others will appreciate you. On the contrary, they may think you’re easy to bully. So, while you have ability, you’re just too naive, thinking things are too simple."


    Leng Feifei thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Han, isn’t this a good approach?"


    "It’s not bad, but if you want to climb up, it might be a bit difficult." After saying this, Han Mingchao pointed to the teacup in Leng Feifei’s hand and said, "Drink up; the tea won’t taste good once it cools down."


    "Yes." Leng Feifei responded, sipping the tea slowly. Soon, more than half of the tea was gone.


    While Leng Feifei drank her tea, Han Mingchao stood up from the opposite sofa and sat next to Leng Feifei, his hand intentionally or unintentionally brushing against her arm.


    Leng Feifei ufortably moved aside and softly said, "Mr. Han, I..."


    "Feifei, there’s actually a lot of shortcuts in this world that don’t require much time or effort to achieve your goals. Do you understand what I mean?"


    Hearing this, Leng Feifei’s heart trembled slightly. ying dumb, she said, "Mr. Han, I’m not quite sure what you mean." With that, she didn’t wait for Han Mingchao to speak again and hurriedly put down the teacup, stood up, and said, "Mr. Han, I almost forgot, there’s a very important matter at thepany that needs my attention. I’ll head back now."


    Saying this, Leng Feifei started walking toward the door. However, after a few steps, she felt a tightness on her arm as Han Mingchao grabbed her hand tightly, pulling her back. Instantly, Leng Feifei lost her bnce and fell onto the sofa.


    This sudden change shocked Leng Feifei. Before she could get back up from the sofa, Han Mingchao was already pressing down, leaving her unable to move.


    "Feifei, you’re a smart woman. With your ability and looks, as long as you stay with me, I guarantee smooth sailing in your career, and no one will dare to bully you. Moreover, in a few months, I’ll arrange for you to be the deputy head of the department. What do you think? With your personality, climbing up from the bottom might take ten years to reach that position, but I can settle everything for you with just a word."


    Leng Feifei pressed against Han Mingchao’s chest with both hands, speaking anxiously, "Mr. Han, I... appreciate your goodwill, but I don’t want shortcuts; I want to climb up through my own efforts." With that, Leng Feifei tried to push Han Mingchao away, hoping to shove him off. However, Han Mingchao was a man, much stronger than her. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t escape Han Mingchao’s restraint.


    "Mr. Han, I’m begging you, let me go, I... I really don’t want to..."


    "Why? Feifei, do you know where your advantages lie? Youth and beauty, those are your advantages. If you don’t use them while you’re young, you’ll only regret itter. Feifei, don’t be so stubborn; I’ve been through this, trust me, I won’t harm you."


    "I don’t want to!" Leng Feifei yelled, "Mr. Han, if you continue, I’ll call the police."
