Chapter 62: Chapter 62 Warehouse ManagerThis evening, Li Yifei had been tormented quite a bit. He Fangqing, when she went crazy, was really daring, especially that little mouth of hers, which every time after Yifei had paused, swiftly made him stand firm again. This was all thanks to Li Yifeiâs abnormal constitution; if it had been another man, they would have been crying uncle a long time ago.
The next morning when Li Yifei woke up, He Fangqing had already gotten out of bed and was tidying up in the bathroom. Li Yifei got up and went into the bathroom, standing up to relieve himself at first, but he felt a bit awkward and decided to sit down instead.
He Fangqing turned her head to look at him, chuckled softly, and said, "Donât you men prefer to stand when you relieve yourselves? Why are you sitting down now?"
Li Yifei laughed and replied, "Iâm afraid of splashing you."
At that, he suddenly thought of Xu Yingying. When he lived at her house, the boss insisted that he not pee standing up.
He Fangqing gave Li Yifei a blank look and said, "Could you say something more disgusting?"
"Is this really disgusting? I just took a look, and there itâs all swollen."
He Fangqingâs face turned red in an instant. When she had been with her ex-husband, she was truly conservative in bed and could never bring herself to do such things. But now with Li Yifei, she had not only done them but had done them with gusto. Now thinking about it, she couldnât understand how she had been able to go so wild, and after one nightâs sleep, He Fangqing could no longer act as crazed as she had the previous night, and she immediately fled the bathroom in a panic.
He Fangqingâs clothes from the previous night hadnât been washed, so she had to wear Meng Xiaofeiâs clothes again, which made her uncomfortable. She kept urging Li Yifei to set off early because she wanted to go to the hotel and change her clothes.
Li Yifei quickly got ready and drove He Fangqing to the hotel. After waiting for a while, she came out with a bag in hand, got into the car, and said, "These are your neighborâs clothes. Please return them for me, and tell her thank you. Youâd better have them dry-cleaned first."
Li Yifei started the car and said, "You should keep them for now. If I take a set of womenâs clothes to the office, how would others see me? Give them to me after work."
He Fangqing immediately suggested, "Why not find a dry cleaner first, leave the clothes there, and then you can go get them cleaned when you have time."
This was a good idea. The two had the clothes sent to a dry cleaner not far from Li Yifeiâs house, and then they headed to the office. Since Yifei had given He Fangqing a ride yesterday, it was now completely justifiable for Li Yifei to bring He Fangqing to the office with him, at least he could say that he had picked He Fangqing up in the morning.
However, as soon as they arrived at the company downstairs, He Fangqing received a call from Xu Yingying, telling her to go to the bank, so Li Yifei once again had to turn the car around and take He Fangqing to a commercial bank in the center of Mile City.
After waiting downstairs for over two hours, Xu Yingying came out of the bank with He Fangqing, talking as they walked.
"President Xu, Iâll be heading back to the office now," said He Fangqing to Xu Yingying as she opened the car door to get in.
Xu Yingying looked with some puzzlement into the car. Those two drivers were quite good at their work; when they saw a leader coming out, they usually got out and opened the door. Xu Yingying wasnât the type to seek pomp and circumstance, but having seen it often, she had become accustomed to it. However, today the driver did not come out, so she took a second glance, but when she saw it was Li Yifei driving, she felt somewhat relieved. Although this guy sometimes seemed to be opportunistic, he actually had some pride and asking him to do that kind of fawning task was really a bit difficult for him.
"Hello, President Xu," Li Yifei greeted Xu Yingying.
Xu Yingying nodded her head and then directly got into her own car. She didnât use a driver, because all the drivers were men, which she found inconvenient, and another reason was that when she was out on business, driving gave her an excuse not to drink.
However, as she watched Li Yifei drive away with He Fangqing, a thought suddenly crossed her mind to transfer Li Yifei and make him her personal driver.
This thought puzzled Xu Yingying, but she quickly understood why. Li Yifei had lived at her house for a few days, and during that time with her parents, they had even shared a bed. Through these few encounters, Li Yifei had plenty of opportunities to take advantage of her, but the guy had never made any improper moves towards her, so she felt very assured about Li Yifei.
Moreover, having Li Yifei drive for her meant she could ponder issues seriously while traveling, unlike now when she dared not let her mind wander while she was driving, to avoid any accidents.
The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. She could relax a lot more. However, since she had to be away on a business trip for at least a week, she would arrange everything after she got back.
Li Yifei dropped He Fangqing back at the office. Along the way, He Fangqing was no longer the enchanting temptress she had been the day before; instead, she was a sharp businesswoman, seriously reviewing documents in the car.
This in fact made Li Yifei feel quite relaxed. He was actually worried that He Fangqing, after their few encounters, might develop feelings for him.
After entering the Logistics Departmentâs office, Li Yifei had just sat down when Zheng Xiuqin called him over.
Li Yifei entered the office of Zheng Xiuqin, the head of the Logistics Department. He Fangqing told Li Yifei to sit down and said, "Little Li, Iâm going to assign you a task."
"Please go ahead, Minister Zheng," Li Yifei hadnât had much interaction with Zheng Xiuqin, but he felt this minister was the kind who handled things very meticulously.
"The manager of the warehouse in Little Daya Bay has taken a temporary leave, and currently, thereâs no one managing it there. The Human Resources Department hasnât been able to arrange for anyone temporarily either. Since this falls under our logistics work, Iâve considered sending someone over. Deputy Minister Zhao Qingsheng said you are very proactive at work and suggested you go. I think itâs a good opportunity for a young person like you to gain some experience. Do you have any objections?"
Li Yifei was stunned. He had had some contact with the warehouse and knew that managing it was a significant responsibility. Although leaving the company seemed like a demotion, in fact, it was a promotion, and this was Zhao Qingshengâs idea. It seemed there might be some issues involved.
"Little Li, I know the warehouse isnât the best working environment, but itâs indeed a place where you can grow a lot. Donât pass up this opportunity, even if itâs just filling in for a week. It will be a great learning experience for you, and I hope you wonât reject it."
Li Yifei hurriedly responded, "Of course not. Such a good opportunity; I will certainly seize it."
Zheng Xiuqin nodded and said, "Thatâs settled then. Youâll head over this afternoon. These past few days, there has been a lot of incoming and outgoing stock in the warehouse. You must manage the inventory well and ensure nothing goes wrong."
"Understood."
Coming out of He Fangqingâs office, Li Yifei was still in a fog, but he was very clear about one thing: Zhao Qingsheng was not that kind-hearted. It could very well be a trap. But as a mere staffer, did that guy really need to target him to such an extent?
"What did Minister Zheng want?" Just as Li Yifei had sat down, Michelle leaned over and whispered, "Brother Li, nothing serious, I hope?"
Li Yifei gave Michelle a slight smile and said, "Sheâs sending someone to temporarily manage the warehouse at Daya Bay for a few days."
"Wow, thatâs like a promotion for you." Michelle immediately exclaimed in surprise. Although her voice was not loud, everyone in the office heard.
Shen Yajuan immediately pushed back her chair, sliding up to Li Yifei in astonishment and said, "Little Li, youâre not joking, are you? Youâve only been in the Logistics Department for a few days, and now youâre being transferred to manage the warehouse?"
Li Yifei shrugged his shoulders and said, "The manager of Daya Bayâs warehouse had to take leave, and with a shipment coming in, they need someone there, so theyâre sending me."
Shen Yajuan patted Li Yifei on the shoulder and said, "Thatâs still a good thing, you know. A warehouse managerâs role is quite lucrative. With a bit of maneuvering during stock intake and delivery, thereâs a fair amount of profit to be made."
Li Yifei immediately shook his head and said, "Sister Shen, I donât understand those things; Iâm just acting as a temporary custodian for a couple of days."
"That may be true, but being in charge for a few days is pretty good too. Iâve been to Daya Bay. There are about a dozen people there, and once youâre there, they all have to listen to you, unlike here at the company where everyone has authority over you."
Upon hearing this, Li Yifei puffed out his chest and said, "Sister Shen, youâre right. Iâve always been a foot soldier; being a leader for a couple of days and getting a taste of it is not bad at all."
Everyone was congratulating Li Yifei, especially Michelle, who was genuinely happy for him, but Li Yifei didnât mention that it was Zhao Qingshengâs arrangement. Otherwise, everyone would surely guess Zhao Qingsheng had ill intentions and would start worrying about him.
During his short time at the Logistics Department, Li Yifei got along well with everyone and didnât want to cause them any worry over this matter.
After lunch, Li Yifei went home to grab a couple sets of clothes to change into. He would be living at the warehouse for the week, which was one reason some people didnât like the role of warehouse manager; these places were often remote, not easily accessible, and working there meant locals aside, going home could be quite troublesome.
By the time he arrived at the warehouse, it was already past three. The temporary person in charge was a man in his thirties named Dong Chenghuai, who had already received notice from the company. Upon Li Yifeiâs arrival, he warmly welcomed him inside a spartan office, where Li Yifei met all the warehouse staffâeleven in total. Besides Dong Chenghuai, there were two forklift operators, five loaders, two storage keepers, and a security guard. Apart from the two female storage keepers, who were in their forties and dressed plainly with little allure, the rest were men.
Even compared to his co-workers at the office, the colleagues here at the warehouse just didnât compare.
