Accidentally provoking the spring tide

Chapter 54. No wonder she was behaving so strangely today (First Update)
Assistant Li hurriedly said, "It's Wang Ling. I've already notified HR to fire her and reported it to the police."

Lin Feng nodded: "Well done, I'll have Brother Ci give you a bonus later."

“There’s one more thing,” Assistant Li called to the man who was about to enter the office. “Wang Ling has terminated our contract with Ms. Jiang’s studio.”

Lin Feng frowned: "Brother Ci has also collaborated with Jiang Jixu?"

"When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"

Li Cheng paused.

He thought Lin Feng knew about this.

“It happened when President Ji had just taken over the Ji family business.” Li Cheng hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the story. “At that time, Miss Jiang’s studio had just been established, and President Ji overruled all objections and handed over all of the company’s outsourcing orders to Miss Jiang.”

"Brother Ci actually?" Lin Feng was taken aback.

He knew how difficult things were for Ji Yanci during that time. Although he was the rightful successor of the Ji family, how could those old foxes possibly submit to a greenhorn?

If it weren't for Mr. Ji's strong support behind the scenes, Ji Yanci would not have been able to completely control the entire Ji family in just a few years.

But at the very moment when he was most likely to attract criticism, Ji Yanci actually helped Jiang Jixu?
Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

He had always thought that Jiang Jixu's feelings for Ji Yanci were one-sided.

But now it seems that's not the case?

Just then, a little girl carrying a pot of jasmine flowers passed by.

Lin Feng thought the jasmine plant looked familiar, so he called out to the other person.

"Manager Lin..." The young girl lowered her head in a somewhat fearful manner.

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes: "Aren't these flowers from President Ji's office? Why did you bring them out?"

Ji Yanci doesn't like others touching his things.

The girl was somewhat incoherent: "Ah, this is..."

Assistant Li came to her rescue: "It was President Ji's order to find someone to take good care of this flower and not let it wither."

“Yes, yes, yes…” The woman nodded vigorously, “Because I filled in my employment information that I had experience in plant cultivation, that’s why Assistant Li gave me this pot of jasmine…”

Speaking of plants, she wasn't shy at all: "This jasmine plant isn't in good condition. When I got it, the leaves were already yellow. It's obvious that the person who took care of it didn't pay much attention to it. If it's in a few more days, these flowers will wither completely."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng muttered under his breath, "Is it that serious?"

He reached out and brushed aside the lush leaves: "Look, it even has little flower buds growing, unlike what you said about it being about to die."

But to his surprise, the little girl in front of him slapped his hand away.

Her eyes, round and wide, were framed behind black-rimmed glasses, and her pink lips were pressed into a straight line.

"It's still alive because of its survival instinct! Not because the grower neglected it!" the girl said clearly.

Lin Feng was stunned by the blow. He looked at his bright red hand and laughed.

"Fine, little girl, you're going to hit me over a pot of flowers? Do you know who I am?" he said, reaching for the name tag hanging around the girl's neck.

The girl then realized what she had just done and hurriedly backed away.

Assistant Li coughed lightly twice, covering his mouth: "Give the flowers to Manager Lin, he's just about to go see President Ji."

The girl responded, shoved the flowerpot into the man's hand, and then turned and fled.

Lin Feng watched her retreating figure and curled his lips into a smile.

"That little girl is quite interesting."

"Young Master Lin, you should take the flowers and video to President Ji first."

Lin Feng glanced at him sideways, clicked his tongue softly, and went into the office carrying a flowerpot in one hand and a tablet in the other.

Ji Yanci was reading a document, but the pen in his hand left an ink stain on the paper because it hadn't been used for a long time, which was an eyesore.

Lin Feng put down the flowerpot in his hand: "Here, Brother Ci, these are your flowers."

A faint scent of jasmine wafted over, bringing Ji Yanci back to his senses. He glanced at the lush green plants beside him, pursed his lips, and spoke in an extremely cold voice.

"Take it to the toilet."

"what?"

Seeing that Ji Yanci's expression didn't seem like he was joking, Lin Feng could only dutifully pick up the flowerpot and prepare to use it to fumigate the toilet.

The little girl's face involuntarily flashed through my mind. If she knew that the flowers she had so carefully tended were being used to fumigate a toilet, she might cry, right?
Lin Feng shook his head, then remembered he had something else in his hand just before leaving.

He went back and placed the tablet in front of the man.

"What's this."

"The surveillance footage." Lin Feng paused. "Something happened when Jiang Jixu came to see you this morning..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the man's cold voice.

"I don't want to look, take it away."

Lin Feng frowned, unusually refusing to comply with Ji Yanci's wishes: "Brother Ci, I think you should take a look. The matter is quite serious; one of our employees is about to be fired and sent to the police station."

Ji Yanci's hand holding the pen hesitated slightly.

I glanced up at the tablet next to me.

After a moment, I picked it up and opened the video.

Seeing this, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said loudly, "Then take your time looking at them. I'm taking the flowers to the restroom."

He had just lifted his foot to leave.

Then I heard the man suddenly speak.

"and many more."

Lin Feng paused, turned around and looked at him: "?"

Ji Yanci lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the tablet, and casually closed the pen cap: "Thinking about it, I'd better not. It's not Hua's fault."

Lin Feng: "..."

It's not the flower's fault, so it's his fault?
"Fine, you're the boss, you're the boss." Lin Feng muttered under his breath, put the flower back in its original place, and then patted the dirt off his hands. "Brother Ci, I remember you didn't seem to like flowers, why did you suddenly decide to grow them?"

He waited for a while, but didn't hear a reply from the man. He couldn't help but look up and ask, "Brother Ci?"

The man stared intently at the tablet, his face so dark it seemed to drip water.

Lin Feng paused, then casually picked up an orange from the table: "I didn't realize Jiang Jixu had some martial arts skills, otherwise things would have been dangerous today."

"Brother Ci, what are you planning to do with Wang Ling?"

"If the Jiang family finds out about this, they'll definitely demand an explanation from us, we..."

Before he could finish speaking, the man heard the sound of glass shattering.

He paused for a moment, looking at the shattered water glass on the ground, then looked up at the man: "...Brother Ci?"

Ji Yanci's chest heaved violently, and the veins on the back of his hands, with their distinct knuckles, bulged.

Lin Feng was stunned.

Ji Yanci was always one to keep his emotions hidden. Apart from the time with Lin Qingqing, he had never seen Ji Yanci so angry. Although the matter was indeed quite serious, Jiang Jixu was ultimately unharmed.

In the past, Ji Yanci would definitely have provided a suitable solution as soon as possible.

Instead of resorting to actions like smashing cups to vent anger, as is the case now.

Lin Feng suddenly felt that he couldn't see through the other person anymore.

Ji Yanci clenched his fists.

There was only one thought in my mind.

No wonder.

No wonder she was behaving so strangely today.
