Chapter 478 - Why are you setting the bars so high?
Feng Shufen was again back to his desk. He still had a little work left before leaving for the day.
"Hey, Shufen! What were all these? Do you want to kill everyone with your deadly display of love and affection?" Qi Shuai chided as he sauntered inside the room with his lips pressed in a thin line. Looking at him like that anyone would know how disapproving he was at his friend's action. But the person for whom it was all concerned, chose to remain all nonchalant to it.
Without lifting his head up to spare a glance at the appearing Director in his cabin, Feng Shufen deadpanned, "I think you need to join the general training sessions with the newbies this time".
And to his words Qi Shuai at once shrugged his shoulders off and replied, "Today guiding the newbies in the training session is not in my schedule. Furthermore, do you forget, I am Director Chief of your esteemed company. I don't have to go regularly to teach your newbies".
"Did I ask you to go and teach them? I am asking you to join and learn some managerial rules and polite manners with them". The man said plainly, putting his signature on the last page of the file and then lifting his head to look at his friend. "So that from the next time you enter this cabin you know already that one should knock to ask the permission".
At his words, Qi Shuai's brows instantly jutted together as he accusingly raised his fingers at his friend, "You … You … who needs to take permission to enter your cabin? At least not me. I am your eternal friend and eternal friends don't need permission to get into their friend's regions as friendship never knew boundaries. Hmph!" He said before slumping on one of the comfortable seats across the desk.
Looking at him like that, Feng Shufen could only shake his head. Of course, he knew that he had got a crazy one on his list and in no way, he could avoid him ever. "Your reason for arriving?" Resigning the fact for good, he asked to take another file at the front to study.
But the moment he did, the file was taken away with a swoosh. Qi Shuai has pulled it towards him before closing it shut and putting it back at its initial place. "Did I not already tell you my reason? It's for saving this world from your deadly PDA. You are getting very lethal nowadays".
"When I was not?" The man simply folded his arms and leaned back on his chair. "And what PDA did I do?"
Qi Shuai pursed his lips and said, "My brother, let me tell you something. A Devil could never be innocent. So, don't pretend to be one. I am talking about your small sweet conversation with Xiao Xue."
"…" The man did not say anything. He just raised his curious brows and Qi Shuai huffed with some irritation to continue it again.
"Who says things like that to their girlfriend? I know Xiao Xue is very good and you want to be all nice and perfect to her but could you please not set such a high bar for us? Not every man could be like you, so be a little healthy for this society and not ruin the things for other men"
"Who will stop me? I will treat my wife in my own way. If you have got so much better time to think of the world then better go and seek ways to improve your relationship with Yi Lan." Feng Shufen ruthlessly fended off his actions without caring about anything or anyone else. His wife was his concern, and for her, he does not want anyone's advice.
Qi Shuai immediately gulped down in terror knowing that he had twisted the most crucial nerve of the Devil. One day, he sure would get slaughtered because of his sinful mouth? Could he really not keep the things in check? How could he be so reckless at times … nope, not at times, more like all the time …
"Haha … Why are you getting agitated, my dear friend? I was just thinking about you. Possessiveness is your in-built character which only increases seeing your lady around any of your rivals. So, wouldn't it had been better if you have asked why she was getting late, instead of telling her not to rush? You know Tang Zaozhi has seen Zheng Wenting taking our Xiao Xue somewhere in his car?" This time he thought all thoroughly before sprouting it out but still, his palms were feeling clammy as the cold expression on his Devil's face was looking no good.
Feng Shufen continued looking at him coldly and then simply answered, "She might have works to attend!"
Huh? From when it became so simple?
Blinking his eyes, he quickly stretched his arm to grab the file which the man had previously pulled to check and he had snatched it away from him. "Haha … I understood. There is nothing to worry about. Come on, you carry on your work. It was my fault that I came here to disturb you for nothing. Don't worry, I will keep it in mind from the next time". He said, keeping the file all perfectly at his front, opening it for him in a ready to read form. And then standing up to leave.

While on the other corner of the city,
Li Xue looked at the man with some disinterest and then asked with a frown, "Excuse me, what do you mean? Rude and indifferent to you? Aren't people like that to every stranger they come across? Or am I, the one to only follow this ritual?"
Zheng Wenting's expressions became stern. "Li Xue, I am not a stranger to you and this is not the answer to the question I asked you. The question was are you scared of anyone? If yes, you can tell me and I can help".
At his words, Li Xue could not control her laughter. Erupting into the mild but taunting laughter, she looked at the man as if he was some maniac and said, "Do I look like I am scared of someone, CEO Zheng?"
