Chapter 38: Nameless Fury

  Two people went to a seaside open-air food court near the coast of Xuhui District, Qin Yan ordered a pile of roasted meat and seafood, two large buckets of fresh beer, and didn't ask for drinks, but instead filled up a whole cup of beer. They decided to park their car in the parking lot by the sea and take a taxi back later, deciding to have a good drink with Ye Feng.

  Today, Qin Yan is exceptionally beautiful. Her white embroidered flower dress, her long hair scattered casually, her shoulders as if carved, her waist as slender as a willow branch, her eyebrows like autumn water, gazing at Ye Feng with a smile but not speaking, holding a cup of fresh tea in her hand, her eyes and eyebrows filled with laughter, her smile radiant and boundless.

  There's no doubt that Qin Yan has become the focal point of this food court, with waiters intentionally or unintentionally taking a detour to sneak a few more glances at her. Other diners also can't help but occasionally cast their gaze on her face, completely disregarding the cold stares and pouts from their female companions. And Ye Feng, without a doubt, has become the object of envy, jealousy, and hatred for many men.

  In the summer, the days are long and the nights are short. At around 7 o'clock, the sky is only slightly dark, with the fiery clouds at the horizon set against the deep blue of the ocean, with a few scattered rays of light, where the sea meets the sky.

  Ye Feng had never been to the seaside before, and now he saw the ocean, felt the sea breeze, and experienced a flavor completely different from that of the mountain valleys.

  When was it, in his youth, Ye Feng's most ardent wish was to go with his family to see the sea, catch fish and play with shrimp, enjoy a happy atmosphere of a harmonious family. Unfortunately, this wish never came true, children from poor families in the mountains could only listen to the wind and look at the sea, it was just a wish after all.

  After toasting, Ye Feng and Qin Yan first drank three cups of fresh beer. What surprised Ye Feng was that he didn't expect Qin Yan's capacity for liquor to be quite good. She downed the full three cups of beer in one gulp, her complexion unchanged, and instead let out a hearty cheer.

  Qin Yan asked about Ye Feng's job interview situation today, Ye Feng smiled and said: "Originally I was too late to go, the other side had already finished recruiting, but fortunately I met an acquaintance, she happened to be the boss of that water industry company, so I finally got this job."

  Qin Yanqi said: "Water Industry Company? The water industry company on Dongfeng Road, there should only be one Miao Yuan Water Industry, did you go to Miao Yuan Water Industry for an interview?"

  Ye Feng nodded and said: "Yes, this water company looks pretty good. They just posted a recruitment ad in the newspaper, so I thought I'd go try out for the water delivery job."

  Qin Yan's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, and she said in an exaggerated tone: "Ye Feng, you really went to work at Miao Yuan? Or are you a water delivery worker? This... this is just speechless. If I had known you wanted to do this job, I could have solved it with just one phone call. Last night, I told you that my friend Wu Xianghua lives in the Hongding community, and she's the boss of Miao Yuan Water Industry."

  This time it was Ye Feng's turn to be surprised, he really didn't expect this.

  Qin Yan raised her glass and clinked it with Ye Feng's, smiling: "Ye Feng, congratulations to you for finding a good company and following a great boss. Xing Hua Jie and I have been good friends for many years, we graduated from the same school, she is even my senior, we both studied law, but after graduation, her work had nothing to do with law. Her personality is very similar to that of a man, yet she has more attention to detail than men, able to develop from a small water delivery shop to today's water industry company covering the entire Xia Hui district, it can be seen how strong her abilities are. However, Ye Feng, how did you get to know Xing Hua Jie?"

  Ye Feng didn't hide it from Qin Yan either, and immediately told her about helping Wu Xianghua make a shield to block arrows the night before.

  After listening to Ye Feng's account, Qin Yan's expression became more serious and she frowned, saying: "I know Zhao Chunman, a well-known entrepreneur in Su Province, one of the top ten outstanding young people, and a representative of the Provincial People's Congress. He sounds impressive, but I'm very clear that he's just a rich second-generation heir who is ignorant and indulgent. He inherited the family business only because he was the only son and had an old grandfather with real ability. If not for his grandfather, Hongli Water Industry would have gone bankrupt under his leadership. However, there's one thing Zhao Chunman said that's true: most of the bottled water used by water companies in Mingzhu City is produced by Hongli Group's subsidiary, Yulu Pure Water Company. Moreover, Hongli has been operating in Mingzhu for many years, and most locals are accustomed to drinking Yulu brand water, making it difficult for other brands to enter the market. It seems that Xinghua is indeed facing a big challenge this time. If Huayuan suddenly changes its brand after all these years of promoting Yulu in Xiaohui District, it will definitely have a significant impact on the company's performance."

  After hearing Qin Yan's explanation, Ye Feng finally understood why Wu Xianghua was so excited last night. He couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart. As an employee of Mingyuan Company, he knew that the company's current difficulties were not good for anyone, whether it was him as a new staff member or the other old employees.

  Qin Yan poured another full cup of beer, smiled and said: "Ye Feng, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll go see Xinghua sister later and see if there's anything I can help her with. You don't have to worry, I believe in Xinghua sister's ability. When she first started her business, she encountered even more difficulties, but she still got through them and succeeded in the end."

  The two of them ended the topic and while drinking and eating, they chatted about some interesting things that had happened to each other. For example, Qin Yan talked about some funny things that happened when she was in college, and the various kinds of cases and suspects she encountered after becoming a lawyer. Also, Ye Feng told Qin Yan about some local customs and stories from his hometown, and shared some experiences from when he used to work.

  A meal brought the two people closer together and gave them a deeper understanding of each other.

  Around 9 o'clock in the evening, Ye Feng got up to settle the bill. At this time, Qin Yan was slightly drunk, her face was red and looked even more beautiful and charming. After getting drunk, Qin Yan put away her usual dignity and freely released a woman's coquettishness and charm, which unexpectedly attracted men's attention even more.

  After settling the bill, Ye Feng returned to the dining area, only to find that four men had suddenly appeared beside Qin Yan, surrounding her with faces full of smiles.

  One of them even reached out and stroked Qin Yan's face with his hand.

  Qin Yan's face turned red with anger, and she loudly scolded them, but these men instead became even more outrageous, surrounding Qin Yan and making unscrupulous jeering sounds.

  Seeing this scene, a surge of nameless anger rose up in Ye Feng's heart.

  Two strides forward and he rushed over, grasping the man who was about to touch Qin Yan's face.

  This man is in his early twenties, with a buzz cut, wearing a black vest but paired with white shorts, and on his feet are a pair of flip-flops. Both shoulders have tattoos, just by looking at him, you can tell he's a thug.

  His wrist was grasped by Ye Feng, and the man cried out in pain, but he didn't dare to struggle too much, because every time he struggled, Ye Feng's strength would increase a little.

  Qin Yan had already subconsciously hidden behind Ye Feng, her intoxication was startled awake by half, her slender hand tightly grasping the corner of Ye Feng's clothes, softly saying: "Ye Feng, don't fight with them, let's leave quickly."

  Another three mixed-race guys saw the boss losing out, and all took a few steps forward to surround Ye Feng. One of them, a curly-haired guy with a toothpick in his mouth, shouted loudly: "Fucking hell, let go of Lao Ge (Brother Le) quickly! You little bastard don't know who Lao Ge is? You dare to offend Lao Ge on this street, you really are tired of living!"

  Hearing Qin Yan's soft voice, and then hearing that rascal's arrogant and provocative words, Ye Feng's anger in his heart grew even stronger. His palm exerted force again, and with a "crack" sound, the wrist of that rascal known as Music Brother was actually pinched off by Ye Feng.

  The loud and mournful cries of this brother were almost heard throughout half of the seaside food square.

  At the same time, the law also prompted in Ye Feng's consciousness: "Through the spatial master's divine sense aura, it is analyzed that the spatial master is currently facing four ordinary evil people. If all of them are eliminated, 50 points of evil value can be obtained, and an additional 80 points of merit value can be obtained. It is suggested that the spatial master seize the opportunity to eliminate them."

  This sudden reminder shocked Ye Feng, who was in a rage, and he stood there stunned.
