After solving Zhu Bi's trouble, Zhuang Li took out his cell phone and reported that he was safe to Feng Ming, who was frantically sending him text messages asking about his situation.
"Where are you?" The banquet had ended long ago, but Feng Ming was still standing in the empty hall, waiting for Zhuang Li to come back.
"I'm outside. I'm sorry for disrupting your celebration party." Zhuang Li said apologetically.
"Without you, how could this celebration party be possible?" Feng Ming ripped off his tie and sighed softly. Although he didn't wait for Mr. Secretary, it didn't matter. This kind of waiting was also necessary for him.
"Have you solved your problem? Do you need my help?" he asked worriedly.
"It's settled," Zhuang Li asked softly. "I just took on a young apprentice and want to bring her to work tomorrow. Is that okay? She's quite mischievous and prone to getting into trouble, so I'm worried about not having her by my side. I'll pay her salary, but can you please keep her a secret?"
Feng Mingxiang agreed without hesitation: "Of course, you can bring her here anytime."
He couldn't refuse any request made by Mr. Secretary.
"Thank you, Mr. Feng. I'll go back first, and you should go to bed early." Zhuang Li said softly.
"Okay, I'm home now, you can go back soon." Feng Ming concealed his waiting.
At the same time, he also sadly realized that it was impossible for him to have any interaction with Mr. Secretary except at work.
Even more frightening was that he was no longer content with simply having Mr. Secretary at work, and parted ways with him after work. He became increasingly greedy, wanting to see what Mr. Secretary was like in real life, whether he would be gentler and sweeter. He even had the idea of possessing this person exclusively.
At work, in leisure time, during the day, at night, every minute...
He was so eager to spend time with Mr. Big Secretary.
Feng Ming held the black screen of his phone in his hand, his eyes showing anxiety, struggle, and a hint of ambition...
At the same time, Zhuang Li, who had returned to the community, was stopped at the door.
Ten minutes later, he and the man who intercepted him walked into a cafe across the street and sat down to talk.
"Two million a year, I wonder if Mr. Zhuang is interested?" This was a woman dressed in fashionable clothes and with a haughty expression. She was very beautiful, and the heroic spirit between her eyebrows and eyes was somewhat similar to Feng Ming.
Zhuang Li, who had already thoroughly investigated the Feng family, naturally knew this person.
"I'm sorry, Miss Feng Er, I have no plans to change jobs." Zhuang Li rejected the two million annual salary without hesitation.
"If you're not satisfied with this price, we can still discuss it. This is my business card. You can look up my company and compare it with Feng Ming's. Let me tell you this: following Feng Ming, your current position is the pinnacle of your career. Following me, perhaps one day you'll become the general manager of any company under the Feng Group. The biggest difference between Feng Ming and me is that we have different perspectives."
As she said this, Miss Feng Er's expression became even more arrogant.
She has always looked down on her younger brother Feng Ming, and she doesn't think that her father will leave the huge Feng Group to him just based on the little achievements he has made now.
He is his father's least favored heir, and this will not change in the short term unless Yilan can make the company a listed company within a year.
Secretary Zhuang is the key to Yilan's rapid rise. If he is poached, Feng Ming will immediately be reduced to his original form.
Capable people all have ambitions. Miss Feng Er believes that Secretary Zhuang’s ambition is definitely not to be a deputy in a small company.
Zhuang Li picked up the business card and looked at it, with a half-smile on his face.
At this moment, someone lurking outside the cafe secretly took a photo of the two people meeting.
Meanwhile, Miss Feng Er received the photos and forwarded them to Feng Ming. She didn't need to say anything more because she knew her brother's temper too well.
He was impatient, aggressive, and had a strong desire to control others. If others did not follow his ideas, he would lose his temper on the spot and then criticize the person to the point of losing face. It was precisely because of this bad temper that he and his father had always had a bad relationship.
After seeing these secretly taken photos, he will definitely doubt Secretary Zhuang's loyalty and then become furious. When he goes to work tomorrow, he will definitely be furious with Secretary Zhuang.
Secretary Zhuang was a capable man, and capable men were always somewhat arrogant. After being treated like this, even if he didn't show it on the surface, he was sure to have a grudge in his heart.
These photos are a thorn that Miss Feng II has planted for the two of them. The deeper the thorn is, the more unstable their cooperative relationship will be.
At that time, Miss Feng Er would be able to dig out this corner without much effort.
There was no reply from Feng Ming on the chat page for a long time, but Miss Feng Er was not anxious. She could fully imagine how upset her stupid brother must be at this moment.
7480 alerted: "Master, someone was secretly filming you just now!"
"That's okay, let them take the photo." Zhuang Li returned the business card and said meaningfully, "Second Miss Feng, let me remind you that a vision that can be realized is a vision; a vision that cannot be realized is a delusion. I certainly prefer doers to dreamers."
Miss Feng Er's face darkened for a moment, but she quickly forced out a seemingly elegant smile: "Mr. Zhuang, don't be so decisive. You're always welcome here."
Zhuang Li curled the corners of his lips, then stood up and said goodbye.

Feng Ming, who had just finished taking a shower and was lazily lying on the sofa, picked up his phone to check Mr. Da Mi's circle of friends as usual when he suddenly received several photos sent by Feng Lao Er.
He rolled off the sofa, his eyes suddenly becoming bigger than copper bells.
The person in the photo was Mr. Da Mi. He was examining a business card carefully, a beautiful curve of interest etched into his crimson lips. Feng Lao Er, elegantly dressed, sat across from him, his eyes fixed on him, a look of admiration between his brows.
This is the look a hunter gives to his prey, and also the look a woman gives to a man.
It was obvious that Feng Lao Er had his eyes on Mr. Da Mi! Was she planning to poach Mr. Da Mi?
Feng Ming immediately opened the address book and was about to call Mr. Da Mi, but his fingertips suddenly froze.
For a moment, he was actually afraid.
He was afraid that this call would push things to an irreversible point; he was afraid that Mr. Da Mi would really be tempted by Feng Lao Er's invitation and would say to him directly, "Ah, you already know? In that case, let's talk it out..."
Feng Ming didn't dare to think too deeply about the subsequent scenes. He even dared not imagine that Mr. Da Mi had met with Feng Lao Er without telling him. Did he have reached some kind of consensus with the other party?
He immediately exited the address book, wiped his face in embarrassment, and then gritted his teeth.
Now, he even wanted to eat Feng Lao Er! She dared to touch Mr. Da Mi, so she had to make a feud with him!
In the past, Feng Ming would have called Feng Lao Er and started a huge argument with him. This wouldn't solve any problems, it would just make him feel good, but he was always the type to just do it for a moment's pleasure.
But now, he quickly regained his composure and called his personal lawyer. He knew what was most important and what should be put aside.
Unconsciously, he has begun to grow.

The next day, Zhuang Li brought ShuBi to the president's office.
Feng Ming, with dark circles under his eyes, stared at the little girl in amazement.
"Is this your apprentice?" he asked in disbelief.
"Hello, brother!" Shu Bi, who had deliberately put on a small suit, smiled sweetly.
Zhuang Li rubbed her head and said gently, "Yes, she is my apprentice, Shu Bi. She is fourteen years old and has dropped out of school. She is an orphan and has no parents. As her master, I have the responsibility to take care of her. As the ancients said, once a teacher, always a father. My relationship with her is probably somewhere between friend, master, and father. I have to keep a close eye on her."
Friend, Master and Father...
The last words struck ShuVi's most vulnerable spot. She quickly lowered her head to hide her suddenly tearful eyes.
She really wanted Uncle Zhuang to be her father!
Feng Ming digested it for a while before offering a suggestion: "I think you should send her to school."
"Her situation is rather special." Zhuang Li lowered his eyes to glance at ShuVi, his tone becoming even gentler. "She's a genius like me. School education isn't helping her, but rather a constraint. When I was little, I suffered a lot trying to pretend to be a normal child. I don't want her to repeat my mistakes."
Hearing that Mr. Da Mi had suffered a lot in his childhood, Feng Ming immediately felt distressed and quickly agreed: "Okay, okay, you can keep her. As long as you are happy."
Zhuang Li raised the corners of his lips and smiled gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Feng."
"No need, it's a small matter." Feng Ming waved his hand domineeringly.
Zhuang Li pressed down on Shu Bi's head and ordered, "Hurry up and thank Mr. Feng."
Zhu Bi quickly bowed, but she muttered to herself, "Boss Feng's attitude towards Uncle Zhuang is a bit strange! Would a big boss say, 'As long as you're happy,' to a subordinate? And in such a flattering tone?"
When leaving the office, Zhu Bi looked at Feng Ming deeply, which made him feel a little nervous.
Zhuang Li brought Zhu Bi to the marketing department and put her in charge of network technology.
Seeing how Secretary Zhuang had brought Yilan back to life in less than a month, his colleagues' respect for him had already taken root in their bones. Furthermore, the management system he had redesigned had proven to be highly effective; now, every department in the company was running much more smoothly than before.
Seeing that he placed Shu Bi in the marketing department, everyone just thought of her as taking care of his child and had no complaints, so naturally no one took it seriously.
After visiting the R&D department to check the progress of new product development and making a few suggestions, Zhuang Li finally returned to the top floor.
And Feng Ming had been waiting for him for a long time.
Feng Ming drafted the whole night and thought of every word he could say to keep Mr. Da Mi, but when the time came, he was still so nervous that his throat tightened.
He habitually untied his tie and unbuttoned his shirt to relax himself.
When Zhuang Li was called into his office, he subconsciously reached out to adjust his crooked tie, but was rejected for the first time.
"Don't worry about that, let's talk about business first." Feng Ming took a deep breath.
Zhuang Li raised his eyebrows in surprise, then pulled out the chair opposite the desk and slowly sat down.
7480 said sharply, "Oh no! Something big has happened!"
"How do you know something big has happened?" Zhuang Li chuckled in his heart.
"This idiot doesn't even take advantage of you, how can something bad not happen? Unless the sky falls, he will never give up any opportunity to have close contact with you!" 7480 was very sure of his guess.
Zhuang Li praised: "Little idiot, you have become smarter."
