Chapter 15: The Joyous Red

In a Porsche outside the Yun Corporation, Du Shaoqing, after listening to the person on the phone, suddenly threw his phone onto the passenger seat and slapped the steering wheel, his face full of rage, "Those damn wretches! Actually leaving Ye Tian inside the corporation!"

Deeply resentful and angry, recalling scene after scene of Ye Tian and Yun Xinyan in the office, Du Shaoqing felt like he was going to explode!

Suddenly thinking of someone, a sinister glint flashed in Du Shaoqing's eyes, and he quickly took out a phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, Brother Qiang."

A slightly deep voice came through the phone, chuckling lightly, "Shaoqing, it's been a long time since you've called me, what's up."

"Help me get rid of someone," Du Shaoqing said bitterly, his fist clenched tight.

"I wonder who has got you so resentful, talk about it, I'll take care of him myself."

"Some bumpkin named Ye Tian!" Du Shaoqing coldly huffed, "He's very skilled in martial arts, even Uncle Lin can't match him. I need you to find someone formidable."

"Lin Da couldn't handle him?" the man exclaimed lightly, and then chuckled, "That won't be a problem. The world's fourth-ranked assassin, 'Hungry Wolf', has some connections with me. Luckily, he's recently active in Yunhai City. I'll ask him to help you, and it will surely be foolproof. However, ..."

"Price is no issue! I need Ye Tian dead!" Du Shaoqing coldly laughed venomously, believing that with the world's fourth-ranked assassin's skill, Ye Tian wouldn't stand a chance!

"Don't worry, Shaoqing, this time, it would be hard for Ye Tian not to die."

...

"Alright, Lanlan, for my sake, don't bother with him anymore, just ignore him and drive him out, don't find him for anything to avoid upsetting you," Yun Xinyan helplessly said on the phone to Bai Lan.

Bai Lan looked at Ye Tian across the desk, her face mixing with embarrassment and anger, "Alright, I promise you."

"Good, I'll treat you to lunch," Yun Xinyan said with a smile, and then they ended the conversation.

Bai Lan glanced at Ye Tian, ignored him, completed the necessary procedures, and made a phone call. Before long, a sturdy young man arrived.

"Manager Bai, you called for me."

"Xiao Feng, take him out. He is the new security guard under your charge, make sure to manage him well!" Bai Lan said, emphasizing her last three words heavily to the young man.

Xiao Feng nodded, looked at Ye Tian, and smiled as he extended his hand, "Xiao Feng."

Ye Tian shook his hand and then turned his head with a mischievous smile and looked at Bai Lan, "Manager Bai, hmm, nice name, you indeed are quite fair."

Xiao Feng stood by, completely dumbfounded, thinking to himself, who is this guy, daring to speak to Manager Bai this way? Does he no longer want his job?

Bai Lan, filled with embarrassment and anger, was about to grab a water cup next to her and throw it at Ye Tian, but he swiftly dodged, mischievously smiling, "Can't even take a compliment? Oh, you really don't want me to enhance your butt? It's free of charge."

"Get lost!!" Bai Lan couldn't believe it, this was the first time in her life she cursed at someone, watching Ye Tian, she felt an urge to strangle him.

Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders, teasingly smiled, "Alright then, I'm leaving, but next time you seek me out, I'll have to charge."

After that, Ye Tian ran off because Bai Lan finally couldn't hold back any longer and threw the water cup, leaving Xiao Feng almost scared silly. Was this really the same elegant and dignified Manager Bai? Cursing and throwing things at someone? What kind of person was Ye Tian to have such an effect?

Xiao Feng didn't dare to say a word, just nodded at Bai Lan and hurriedly left, fearing that her anger might turn towards him.

Watching the two of them leave, Bai Lan took deep, furious breaths, and glared out the door, grinding her teeth, "This pervert, if he ever falls into my hands one day, I'll make sure he learns his lesson!"

Stepping out of the office and seeing Ye Tian waiting, Xiao Feng gave him a thumbs up, "Bro, you're incredible. Manager Bai might be a bit cold, but cursing and hitting, that's definitely a first."

"Really? I got her first time, alas." Ye Tian chuckled, shaking his head before he walked away, leaving Xiao Feng flabbergasted. This guy sure is forthright.

Xiao Feng chuckled bitterly, having a foreboding feeling that Ye Tian's arrival would whip up an unprecedented storm at Yun Corporation!

The morning quietly passed, and Ye Tian's first day on the job was quite inactive; it was mostly Xiao Feng giving introductions and taking him around for a tour.

Normally this wasn't his responsibility, merely assigning a position for Ye Tian would suffice. However, considering what Ye Tian did in the office and how Manager Bai seemed helpless, he knew Ye Tian must be someone with strong backing, hence he did not dare slack off.

As for why a position as a security guard, Xiao Feng chose to keep his mouth shut to avoid trouble.

When it was time for lunch, Ye Tian was about to head out with Xiao Feng when his phone rang unexpectedly. Glancing at it, he smiled subtly, because Liu Fei'er had sent him a WeChat message inviting him for lunch together.

Ye Tian immediately replied, "I want you to treat me to a 'big meal,' sausages and eggs," causing Liu Fei'er to send a shy emoji. Because Ye Tian put the words 'big meal' in quotes and even included a suggestive emoji at the end.

Afterward, Ye Tian prepared to ask for the address when Liu Fei'er responded, "Guess what color my underwear is today? If you guess right, I'll treat you. If you guess wrong, humph, no deal."

Ye Tian's lips curled into a smile, and he immediately replied, suggesting a seductive red and added that it was from "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf." He even included a cheeky emoticon at the end of his message.

Liu Fei'er didn't reply for a long time. Ye Tian thought she might be angry and was about to say something when suddenly two words popped up on his screen: "Pervert."

Then a photo appeared, and Ye Tian saw it was a large seafood restaurant.

However, being unfamiliar with Yunhai City, Ye Tian immediately asked Xiao Feng, who was shocked upon seeing the photo, "Xiyang Seafood Restaurant! One of the top seafood restaurants in our city! A meal there costs thousands, you're going to eat there?"

Ye Tian was somewhat surprised that Liu Fei'er had invited him to such an expensive place, but he didn't say anything. He nodded to Xiao Feng, said a word, and then left immediately.

"A friend's treat."

Hearing this, Xiao Feng was even more astonished, "Wow, casually having lunch with a friend at such a high-end place; this guy must have a powerful background, not to be messed with."

...

After leaving the corporation, he took a taxi and soon arrived at Xiyang Seafood Restaurant. As he entered, two tall women in cheongsams welcomed him gently, and Ye Tian was quite pleased with the attentive service.

Once inside, Ye Tian noticed the restaurant was quite large and bustling with many customers, each exuding their noble status with their attire and manner of speaking.

Just as he was about to use his phone to ask Liu Fei'er where she was, he suddenly found her in the crowd. He approached slowly, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

At that moment, Liu Fei'er was sitting by a window, dressed in a tight pink off-the-shoulder bandage dress, her wavy hair cascading down. She was gazing out of the window, her stance painting a scene so beautiful, not even Van Gogh could capture this mesmerizing sight.

As he approached, Ye Tian gently pulled out a chair but before he could speak, Liu Fei'er frowned slightly, "It's taken."

"I wonder whom the beauty has invited," Ye Tian paused, his smile turning sly.

"My boyfri..." Liu Fei'er began, turning her head towards Ye Tian, but upon seeing him, her face paused, a blush creeping over her delicate, fair cheeks.

"Annoying." Liu Fei'er gave Ye Tian a flirty look, lightly biting her tender red lip, carrying an irresistible charm that could stir hormones.

"You're truly beautiful, so beautiful that it's hard to look away," Ye Tian settled into his chair like a perfect gentleman, smiling softly.

Liu Fei'er was slightly stunned by the suddenly serious Ye Tian in front of her. Despite his clothes being from a street stall, his tall stature, handsome face, chiseled features, and mysterious charm had her blushing and unwittingly lowering her head after a moment.

"Hey, beauty, can't help being curious, can you? You know, once a woman starts getting curious about a man, she might just fall for him," Ye Tian teased, his tone playful, prompting Liu Fei'er to give him an exasperated look.

"Alright, let's order."

Liu Fei'er gestured for the waiter, who promptly brought out a menu. She was visibly impressed by Liu Fei'er, but when she turned to Ye Tian, she couldn't help but feel disdain inside.

It's hard to believe what the beauties are thinking these days, choosing someone with such bad taste, but naturally, the waiter wouldn't say anything and merely smiled gently, "What would you like to order, sir, madam?"

"What would you like to eat?" Liu Fei'er asked with a light laugh, looking at Ye Tian.

"You're treating?"

"Stop it," Liu Fei'er scoffed at Ye Tian, recalling his frustratingly accurate guess earlier. How could he have guessed so correctly?

"Do you have any specialties?" Ye Tian turned to ask the waiter.

"Ecuadorian white shrimp prepared as 'Shrimp Walks the Clouds'; Argentine red shrimp cooked into 'Red Cloud Moon'; Canadian lobster made as 'Shrimp Enjoys the World'..." The waiter graciously and elegantly continued to introduce various shrimp, fish, and crab dishes, along with their origins and names.

It must be said, there's a reason for the constant flow of people here. Just the exotic names and the foreign origins of these dishes were enough to make one eagerly order a whole table of food.

Ye Tian nodded, then smirked playfully, "The names are quite good, each very distinctive, though the variety seems a bit limited."

"For example, the Ecuadorian white shrimp, harvested from the cold Peruvian currents, where abundant plankton and repeated baiting make the shrimp shells thin and the meat fatty, giving it a fresh, tender taste and rich nutrition. Not only can it be cooked, but it can also be fried lightly in oil, retaining the shrimp's texture while letting its unique substances come to the forefront. Not only is the taste satisfying, but it's also quite appealing, a good choice indeed. However, it seems you don't have it."

"Also, the Argentine red shrimp... and the Canadian lobster..."

Ye Tian went on at length, discussing the shrimp, fish, and crab varieties, the local ways they were used, and even detailed different preparations from what Xiyang Seafood Restaurant offered.

With Ye Tian's eloquence, after his speech, the nearby waiter was taken aback, never expecting this customer to know so much, having just scoffed at him...

The waiter felt embarrassed, realizing that compared to her, she was merely a frog in a well, while Ye Tian, although poorly dressed, came off as a cultured, high-end individual.
