CEO's Work Injury Insurance
That childish "Jade Koi Carp Exorcising Amulet" incident ended with Feng Jinxuan's ears turning bright red and Yu Jinli successfully obtaining a sum of "compensation for emotional distress".
Their relationship thus entered a delicate new phase.
Feng Jinxuan still had that cold and aloof demeanor, but Yu Jinli noticed that he seemed to be peeking at her more often.
Yu Jinli further solidified her identity as the "boss's exclusive accessory," following him around every day and diligently playing the role of a human air purifier.
That day, Feng Jinxuan was going to inspect a newly developed real estate project in the suburbs.
It is said that this project is the most important strategic move for the Feng Group over the next five years, involving huge investments and attracting much attention.
On such an important occasion, Yu Jinli, the "lucky charm accompanying him," naturally could not be absent.
Before setting off, Assistant Wang pushed a huge suitcase into Yu Jinli's office.
“Ms. Yu, this is the ‘work uniform’ that Mr. Feng instructed us to prepare for you.”
Yu Jinli curiously opened the box, then fell silent.
Goodness.
Inside the box lay a set of... top-of-the-line professional protective clothing, fully equipped from head to toe.
The thick material, the exaggerated knee and elbow pads, the goggles bigger than her face, and the yellow helmet that was so bright it could blind people...
She felt that if she put on this gear, she could go straight to a triathlon or become a war correspondent in Syria.
"What...what does the boss mean?" Yu Jinli's lips twitched.
Assistant Wang adjusted his glasses and conveyed his boss's instructions without changing his expression: "President Feng said that accidents happen a lot on construction sites, and safety is the top priority. Your safety is his safety. This is the highest level of 'work injury' insurance we've purchased for you."
Yu Jinli: "..."
Is it revenge? Is it revenge?
She strongly suspected that this guy was retaliating against her because she had asked for "work injury compensation" last time!
This isn't concern at all! He's clearly annoyed that I'm in his way and afraid that if something happens to me, I'll have to pay compensation!
Evil capitalists!
Half an hour later, Yu Jinli, wearing that bulky outfit that looked like a spacesuit, sat down in the Rolls-Royce with a look of utter despair.
Feng Jinxuan sat beside her, staring intently at the documents in his hands, as if the person beside him was not a person, but a moving yellow roadblock.
But Assistant Wang could clearly see in the rearview mirror that the corners of the boss's mouth were turning up slightly in an extremely slow but unmistakable arc.
The journey to the construction site was calm and peaceful.
Yu Jinli even began to wonder if her "golden armor" was so intimidating that even bad luck had shunned her.
Until they arrived at the dusty construction site.
Project manager Li, along with a group of people, was already waiting at the door.
When he saw Yu Jinli, the "Golden Saint" who stepped out of the Rolls-Royce as if he were about to save the world, the expression on his face froze instantly.
"Mr. Feng...who is this...?"
“My special assistant,” Feng Jinxuan said calmly, as if his attire was perfectly normal, “has a strong sense of security. As a special assistant, it’s reasonable for him to dress a bit differently, isn’t it?”
A series of suppressed gasps, as if they wanted to laugh but dared not, rose from the surrounding area.
Yu Jinli felt so embarrassed that her toes were about to dig through the earth.
The group began inspecting the construction site.
Feng Jinxuan walked at the front, listening to Manager Li's introduction and occasionally asking a few pointed questions.
Yu Jinli followed behind him like a clumsy penguin, her protective suit making a "creaking" sound with every step she took.
Just as they reached the foot of a building under construction, a loosely secured wooden plank above them was suddenly blown down by a gust of wind and crashed straight down on Feng Jinxuan!
"careful!"
Everyone gasped in surprise.
Feng Jinxuan reacted extremely quickly, suddenly turning to the side to dodge.
However, Yu Jinli, who was next to him, reacted even faster!
Almost instinctively, she thrust her head, which was wearing a giant safety helmet, forward sharply!
"Bang!"
A loud bang.
The plank of wood slammed into her helmet and then bounced off.
She simply shook her head, completely unharmed.
The entire room fell silent.
Everyone stared at her in disbelief, as if they were looking at an invincible superhero.
Yu Jinli adjusted her hat, feeling a wave of lingering fear.
Goodness, we misunderstood the boss! This isn't revenge at all; it's strategic foresight, a masterful plan that wins from afar! This protective suit was totally worth it!
Feng Jinxuan looked at her with a complicated expression.
He made her wear it, genuinely to protect her. But he never expected that this fool would actually use her own head to shield her!
"You..." He was about to say something.
"Boss!" Yu Jinli spoke first, holding up the safety helmet with a crack in it, his face serious. "This is equipment damage, it has to be reimbursed! And my emotional distress compensation too!"
Feng Jinxuan: "..."
The fleeting feeling of emotion he had just felt vanished instantly.
The subsequent inspection turned into a live broadcast of a disaster movie.
First, a steel bar slid down from a height, but was stopped by Yu Jinli's thick protective suit.
Then came a patch of slippery cement, causing everyone to fall flat on their faces, except for Yu Jinli, who remained as steady as a mountain, wearing professional anti-slip boots.
Finally, even the project drawings were blown into a mud pit by a strange gust of wind, but Yu Jinli scooped them back with her long, gloved hands.
When the inspection ended, Feng Jinxuan was still impeccably dressed and spotless.
Yu Jinli, standing beside him, had become a colorful mud figure, her protective suit covered in cement, rust, and unidentified liquid, looking utterly disheveled.
But her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness, because her little notebook was filled with a long list of "reimbursement items".
The way Manager Li and other executives looked at Yu Jinli had changed from initially seeing her as just a pretty face to looking up to her with utmost respect.
No wonder she can be a special assistant. With her fearless spirit of taking the bullet for someone, she deserves to be a special assistant!
Feng Jinxuan looked at her greedy little face, which seemed to say, "Although I'm in a sorry state, I've made a fortune." He felt both annoyed and amused.
He took off his suit jacket and draped it over her without a word, covering her disheveled state.
"I'm leaving." His voice remained flat, but his movements carried a subtle tenderness.
Yu Jinli was taken aback by his sudden action.
Her nose was instantly enveloped by a crisp, clean scent of cedar, which forcefully dispelled the surrounding dust and sweat, dominating her entire sense of smell.
The coat, still warm from his body, shielded her from the noise and chaos of the outside world, creating a small, peaceful, and warm haven for her.
In that instant, Yu Jinli felt the calculator in her brain, which was rapidly calculating reimbursement amounts and compensation for emotional distress, suddenly short-circuit with a "snap."
All the numbers and formulas turned into a blank page.
She even forgot that if this expensive haute couture suit got dirty, who would be responsible for the cleaning costs?
Just as she was about to leave, she caught a glimpse of an inconspicuous corner of the construction site out of the corner of her eye.
There were some discarded building materials piled up there.
Among a pile of rubble and steel bars, a fist-sized black stone caught her attention.
The stone itself wasn't anything special, but the problem was its placement; it was too deliberate.
The surrounding clutter was in a chaotic and random state. Only this stone was placed neatly on a flat brick, with a piece of yellow paper with strange symbols drawn on it underneath.
Yu Jinli's heart sank suddenly.
This was not an accident.
She'd bet her entire life on braised pork trotters that this was absolutely no accident!
Someone has set up a malicious feng shui trap here!
Just as she was about to step forward for a closer look, a cold voice suddenly came from behind her.
What are you looking at?
Yu Jinli was startled and turned around to see that Feng Jinxuan had been standing behind her at some point.
He stared at the rock, his brow furrowed, his eyes sharp as an eagle's.
Clearly, he also sensed that something was wrong.
"Boss..." Yu Jinli swallowed hard, lowered his voice, and said with an unprecedentedly serious expression, "It seems we've gotten ourselves into big trouble."
