After the divorce, the aloof CEO begged me not to withdraw my investment.

Upon arriving at the security office, Ye Feng was surprised to see another girl standing next to Kong Xiaoyue.

"Brother Ye Feng, let me introduce you. This is my best friend, Qin Xiaoran, from the finance department."

Kong Xiaoyue introduced it enthusiastically.

"Xiao Ran, this is Ye Feng, the brother I often mention to you. He's my sworn brother."

When Kong Xiaoyue mentioned the words "godbrother," her tone was slightly unnatural.

Qin Xiaoran looked Ye Feng up and down, then exclaimed without any attempt to hide her admiration, "Wow, Kong Xiaoyue, your godbrother is so handsome!"

Ye Feng was caught off guard by the sudden compliment and politely replied, "You're cute too."

Qin Xiaoran and Kong Xiaoyue exchanged a glance and suddenly burst into laughter.

Ye Feng was somewhat puzzled.

Qin Xiaoran laughed and explained, "These days, praising a girl for being cute is a derogatory term! Brother, you're so out of touch!"

Ye Feng then realized he had misspoke and quickly corrected himself, saying, "I meant, you are very beautiful."

Qin Xiaoran smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's alright. I work in the finance department. If you need any help, just come to me. Kong Xiaoyue often mentions you, and I know about your situation."

Ye Feng's heart moved.

This seems like an unexpected bonus, a breakthrough that could lead to a deeper understanding of the finance department.

"Thank you in advance," Ye Feng said sincerely.

Qin Xiaoran glanced at Kong Xiaoyue teasingly, "That's right, Xiaoyue talks about you all the time."

Kong Xiaoyue quickly denied it, "No way! Don't talk nonsense!"

Her cheeks were slightly flushed.

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Alright, let's go take care of our business first."

On the way, Kong Xiaoyue explained the branch company's promotion system.

“The branch company now uses a recommendation-based promotion system. Brother Ye Feng, your paperwork was actually submitted a long time ago, but for some reason, it’s been blocked by Vice President Jiang.” Kong Xiaoyue’s tone was helpless. “So, now we can only wait for Vice President Jiang’s approval before it can take effect.”

Ye Feng nodded without saying a word.

Vice President Jiang... it's him again.

He recalled some clues from his previous investigation, all of which seemed to point to this Vice President Jiang.

The two arrived at Vice President Jiang's office.

"Brother Ye Feng, whatever Vice President Jiang says later, just agree to it," Kong Xiaoyue whispered, her brows furrowed with worry.

Ye Feng gave her a reassuring look. "I know what to do."

He gently knocked on the office door.

Before anyone could respond, the door opened from the inside.

A slick-haired manager came out and immediately beamed with a smile when he saw Kong Xiaoyue.

"Xiaoyue, you're here to see President Jiang again?"

Her smile froze the moment she saw Ye Feng, replaced by a look of suspicion. "And who is this?"

Ye Feng could tell from the manager's smug face that he must have recognized him and probably even reported him to Vice President Jiang.

Ye Feng sneered in his heart.

"Hello, I'm the new employee, Ye Feng." Ye Feng said, casually putting his hand on the manager's shoulder.

It seems like a casual remark, but in reality, a lot of effort is being put in.

The manager's smile instantly twisted, his face contorted in pain, but he dared not utter a sound.

Ye Feng maintained his smile, "Manager, where are you going?"

The manager felt the force coming from his shoulder growing stronger and stronger, as if it were going to crush his bones.

He forced a smile. "No...nothing, I'll be going now."

After saying that, he practically fled in panic.

Ye Feng withdrew his hand, turned to Kong Xiaoyue and said, "This manager is a scoundrel. If he dares to try anything with you again, just tell me and I'll deal with him."

Kong Xiaoyue paused for a moment, then nodded.

Ye Feng's assertiveness made her feel at ease.

He was indeed as loyal and devoted as the rumors suggested.

"Let's go in," Ye Feng said, pushing open the door to Vice President Jiang's office.

As Ye Feng pushed open the door, a faint scent of perfume wafted out, and his gaze fell on the figure behind the desk.

Vice President Jiang was younger and prettier than he had imagined, and her smart business attire accentuated her shrewd and capable demeanor.

"Xiaoyue, you can go out now," Vice President Jiang instructed without looking up, her slender fingers quickly sliding across the documents.

Kong Xiaoyue glanced at Ye Feng with concern and gently closed the door.

Ye Feng handed over the documents in his hand, "Vice President Jiang, these are my employment documents."

Vice President Jiang took the documents, flipped through them casually, but gave no further instructions.

Ye Feng stood quietly in place, as immovable as a mountain.

As Vice President Jiang processed the documents, his gaze would occasionally fall on Ye Feng, observing him discreetly.

Time passed by, and the office was so quiet that only the sound of papers turning could be heard.

An hour passed, and Ye Feng remained in the same posture, standing ramrod straight.

Vice President Jiang secretly admired him.

This kind of composure is not something that ordinary people possess.

This young man before me is no ordinary person.

She coughed lightly and put down the documents in her hand. "I'm sorry, Ye Feng, I just forgot when I got busy. Please don't mind."

“I understand. Vice President Jiang is very busy, and it’s normal for important people to forget things. Waiting a while is fine too,” Ye Feng replied casually.

Ye Feng's composure earned him even more admiration from Vice President Jiang.

So young, yet so shrewd.

"Sit down, Ye Feng, let's talk." Vice President Jiang gestured to the chair in front of his desk, his tone softening considerably.

Ye Feng pulled up a chair and sat down gracefully.

"Ye Feng, I see you are a handsome and capable man. It's a real waste for you to be working with those mediocre people. Why don't you come to my side? I guarantee you a bright future." Vice President Jiang got straight to the point, expressing his intention to recruit you.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Vice President Jiang, but I'm already used to my current job," Ye Feng politely declined.

Vice President Jiang smiled and was not angry at Ye Feng's refusal.

She took a document out of the drawer and handed it to Ye Feng, "This is your onboarding information, I've already signed it."

Ye Feng took the document and saw the words "Acting Deputy Captain" written on it.

He said with some helplessness, "Vice President Jiang, this..."

"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I'll arrange two capable subordinates for you." Vice President Jiang seemed to have seen through his thoughts.

Ye Feng pondered for a moment, then thank you very much, Vice President Jiang.

He knew that Vice President Jiang's arrangement of subordinates for him was both a way to win him over and a means of surveillance. But he also had his own plans and needed to leverage Vice President Jiang's influence to achieve his own goals.

Both sides had their own agendas, but on the surface, they maintained a harmonious atmosphere.

Vice President Jiang pressed the hands-free button on the phone, his fingertips lightly tapping the table, producing a crisp sound.

While waiting for the call to connect, she looked out the window and took in the bustling night view of Jinjiang City.

The call connected, and a slightly hurried male voice came through: "Hello, sister-in-law, how is it? Any news?"

Vice President Jiang frowned slightly; the way she was addressed made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the fact that they were relatives, she wouldn't bother with this kind of thing at all.
