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

"Official letter? Temporary transfer?" Chen Yiyi seemed to have heard a joke, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "This operation is classified. There is no official letter, and there is no such thing as temporary transfer."

Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat.

It seems this woman is determined to make things difficult for me.

He remained expressionless and said casually, "Then I'll try my best to arrange it. There's nothing I can do if they can't come."

Chen Yiyi's eyes narrowed, and her tone carried a threat: "If it doesn't work, we'll find someone else to carry out the mission."

Ye Feng shrugged, adopting an indifferent attitude: "Let's change it then."

Chen Yiyi was not expected to react this way, and she became even more annoyed.

"According to the confidentiality agreement, you and Wu Dan will both have to stay here for a period of time."

Ye Feng then realized that this woman wasn't there to discuss business at all, but was deliberately trying to cause trouble.

An unnamed anger suddenly surged up.

He couldn't hold back any longer, his voice filled with anger: "You tomboy, when will you ever stop?"

Chen Yiyi's face changed, her chest heaving, and she pointed at Ye Feng, saying, "You...you actually dared to say that just now..."

She suddenly stopped, remembering the strange look Xia Dong had given her when he passed by, and swallowed the rest of her sentence.

Chen Yiyi felt her face getting hot.

Ye Feng turned to leave, leaving behind the words, "I don't consider you a woman. I'll stay away from you from now on."

Chen Yiyi felt a surge of anger rush to her head.

She stood up abruptly and roared, "Stop right there!"

Ye Feng ignored him and continued walking towards the door.

"boom!"

Something flew out of Chen Yiyi's hand and hit Ye Feng in the back.

Ye Feng subconsciously swung his hand, knocking the thing to the ground.

He didn't see what it was, nor did he care, and walked straight out of the office.

Chen Yiyi's face turned deathly pale as she looked at the ink-stained words on the ground.

It was a gift she had carefully chosen to give to her elders, but now it was stained with ink and completely ruined.

She felt so heartbroken she could hardly breathe.

Chen Yiyi's eyes instantly reddened. Pointing at the words on the ground, she hysterically yelled at Ye Feng's retreating figure, "Look what you've done! This calligraphy!"

Ye Feng stopped and glanced back at the words on the ground, his eyes indifferent.

"Since it's so valuable, it should be kept safe."

Chen Yiyi became even more agitated, tears welling up in her eyes: "It's all because Wu Feifei wanted to see it that I took it out! It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"

A knock on the door interrupted Chen Yiyi's cries.

Xia Dong pushed open the door and entered, followed by Wu Feifei, who looked helpless.

"What happened? What's going on?" Xia Dong looked at the mess on the ground, his brows furrowed.

Pointing at Ye Feng's retreating figure, Chen Yiyi choked back tears and said, "Ask him! It's all his doing!"

Xia Dong followed Chen Yiyi's finger to look at Ye Feng, then looked at the ink-stained words on the table, and turned to Ye Feng in confusion.

Wu Feifei patted Ye Feng's shoulder sympathetically and whispered, "You've gotten yourself into big trouble."

Ye Feng looked completely bewildered.

It's just a piece of calligraphy, isn't it?

How did I get into such a huge mess?

He walked to the table, bent down to look at the calligraphy stained with ink, and said, "Let me see, perhaps there is still a way to salvage it."

Xia Dong grabbed him, her tone mocking: "Don't touch it! Do you know what this is? This is the calligraphy of Master Yizhi Mei! Can you fix it? Yiyi went to great lengths to get it back at auction, and it was just delivered this morning, and you've ruined it!"

Ye Feng was stunned. "A single plum blossom?"

Xia Dong scoffed, "What, never heard of him? It's normal for a boor like you not to understand Master Yizhimei's works."

Wu Dan chimed in, "It's just a piece of calligraphy. If it gets dirty, we can just buy another one."

Xia Dong glanced at Wu Dan sideways, "Easy for you to say! Master Yizhi Mei's works are priceless! You can't buy them even if you have money!"

Chen Yiyi covered her face and sobbed softly, "Let me have some peace and quiet, please stop making noise!"

"Team Leader Wu, is it really that hard to get this calligraphy by the plum blossom?"

Wu Dan cautiously tugged at Wu Feifei's sleeve.

Wu Feifei sighed helplessly; she knew Wu Dan would be curious.

"That's right. Master Iljimae is rarely seen, and his works are extremely rare, which is why the prices are so high."

Xia Dong listened from the side, a smug look on his face, as if he were showing off his knowledge.

"It's not just hard to get, it's priceless! A single word from it is worth a fortune!"

Wu Feifei glanced at him and continued, "Actually, this calligraphy only cost around three million because it doesn't have Master Yizhimei's seal. But now..."

She shook her head and didn't say anything more.

Wu Dan walked to Chen Yiyi's side and gently comforted her, "Sister Yiyi, don't be too sad. My boss didn't do it on purpose."

Xia Dong immediately interrupted him, "Just because it wasn't intentional doesn't mean it's okay. Do you know how valuable this calligraphy is?"

Chen Yiyi suddenly raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears, and glared at Ye Feng. "You! Get out of here!"

Ye Feng stood there, without saying a word.

Seeing Chen Yiyi's agitation, Xia Dong quickly asked, "Yiyi, are we just going to let it go like this? Are we not going to make him pay?"

Chen Yiyi sneered, "This painting is worth three million. Even if we each take half the responsibility, that's still 1.5 million. Even if he can come up with that money, I don't care!"

Ye Feng took a deep breath and finally spoke, "I do bear responsibility for this matter and should compensate for it."

Chen Yiyi's gaze pierced him like a knife. "How do you plan to compensate me?"

"I have money, I can afford to pay it back," Ye Feng said calmly.

Chen Yiyi gave a cold laugh, tears still welling up in her eyes.

"Who cares about your money? Can you afford to replace Master Yizhimei's original work?"

"I'm not offering you money; I can give you a calligraphy piece featuring a plum blossom."

Ye Feng's gaze was steady as he looked directly at Chen Yiyi.

Ye Feng's answer surprised everyone.

The room fell silent instantly; you could hear a pin drop.

Xia Dong couldn't help but scoff, "You? You put together a calligraphy piece with a plum blossom motif? You think that's something you can just buy at a street stall? It's extremely rare to find in the market!"

Ye Feng ignored Xia Dong's sarcasm and looked at Chen Yiyi seriously: "I mean what I say. I will take full responsibility for this matter, so you don't need to worry about it."

Chen Yiyi looked at him with a skeptical expression: "Are you serious? I need this calligraphy tomorrow, can you really get it?"

This calligraphy piece held great significance for her.

"Wait for my call, tonight will be fine," Ye Feng replied briefly, then turned and walked towards the door.

Wu Dan followed closely behind him.

As the two walked into the corridor, Wu Dan finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Feng, where are we going to get the calligraphy of 'A Plum Blossom'?"

At this moment, Wu Feifei chased after them, her voice anxious: "Ye Feng, what you just said, you weren't lying to your senior sister, were you?"

Ye Feng stopped and turned to look at Wu Feifei: "Why would I lie to her?"

"If not, where are you going to get Master Yizhi Mei's calligraphy?" Wu Feifei pressed. "If you promise but can't keep your word, then you're just playing my senior sister for a fool!"
