Chapter 761 - Her Ass (1/2)

Yu Shanhe’s expression was stoic as stone. “Why are you here, Fan Fan?”

“I’m here to see Xia Lei for business.” She paused for a second before replying, “Are you here on business too?”

The man only returned a slight nod. He really wasn’t planning to leave. It was just an act to pressure Xia Lei. Yu Shanhe was very clear about their relations.h.i.+p. If it wasn’t for Xia Lei, there was no way Fan Fan could’ve become ZN station’s head as the position was supposed to be Ling Han’s all along. Yu Shanhe’s urge to stay was intensified by her untimely appearance.

Yu Shanhe sent his underling a look, to which Song Baicheng quickly understood and pa.s.sed the freshly-s.n.a.t.c.hed doc.u.ment back beside Xia Lei’s coaster. “Fine, Mister Xia. Officer Yu is gracious enough to provide you extra time given your contributions to the country. Didn’t you mention that you’ll sign after you’re done flipping through it? Here, go ahead, we’ll wait.”

With that, Yu Shanhe plopped himself back onto the couch. He was silent without a hint of emotion.

Xia Lei didn’t spare the doc.u.ment a look. As soon as Yu Shanhe was seated, he stood to approach Fan Fan with a bright smile. “Ah, it’s nice to see you here, Officer Fan. What can I help you with?”

Officer Fan? She rolled her eyes at him. It made her feel like an old hag. Despite that, she was also aware that Xia Lei was belittling Yu Shanhe by doing so.

“Officer Fan, please take a seat, I’ll go get you some tea in the meantime,” offered Xia Lei graciously before running off to make tea.

This was a blow to Yu Shanhe. His tea was made by a secretary but her tea was made personally by Xia Lei. The detail was subtle but the older man felt offended by the gesture.

“Miss Fan, why are you here?” Yu Shanhe tried to probe.

“I was about to ask the same too. Why are you here, Officer Yu?” questioned Fan Fan.

Yu Shanhe responded with scrunched brows.

Taking in his expression, Fan Fan commented, “Ah I see, some confidential matters? It’s fine if you don’t wish to talk about it, I’m not that curious.”

She really wasn’t planning to save Yu Shanhe any face. In other words, there was no need for her to do so. Since when did the head of ZN station needed to please Yu Shanhe?

It didn’t take long for Xia Lei to return with a cup of red tea. “Were you two trying to solve a riddle?” he asked with a smile. “There’s no need to now, I’ll just answer you. Officer Yu came here to have me sign an agreement that would waiver my debt in exchange for an administrative supervisor to govern the Thunder Horse Organization. I was thinking about this the whole afternoon and d.a.m.n, I’m getting a migraine from it.”

“Oh, that’s quite the trouble.” Fan Fan feigned her shock. “Have you made your decision?”

Xia Lei threw his hands in the air. “I said I was in pain, how could I possibly think this through with a headache?”

Yu Shanhe scorned. “You both should probably consider acting careers. Look, I know you’re here for the agreement, Fan Fan. Since you’re here, let’s just get this over with today.”

Fan Fan took a sip out of her cup. “Ah, it’s hot,” she frowned while lamenting the heat from the cup.

Xia Lei quickly explained, “Of course it’s hot, I made it just now. Why don’t you leave it to cool for a bit?”

Yu Shanhe’s anger was at its maximum. He was here for official matters but the other two were talking about the most trivial things. They weren’t taking him seriously at all!

“Fan Fan!” Yu Shanhe snapped. “Are you clear about what’s going on? Don’t commit a political mistake!”

“Huh?” Fan Fan returned her cup to its coaster with a surprised expression. “Officer Yu, I wasn’t aware that tea temperature comments were a political mistake! I’m so sorry, please forgive me. I’m not as well-versed in political etiquettes as you.”

“You…” Yu Shanhe was at a loss for words.

Xia Lei snorted in his mind. “This woman really has a way with words. She didn’t even need to cuss. I guess it was true after all, women are mysterious creatures not to be messed with.”

Song Baicheng couldn’t help but interrupt her. “Fan Fan, that’s not how you should talk to Officer Yu.”

Fan Fan diverted her view toward Song Baicheng. Her eyes became murderously cold instantly. “You don’t get to call me Fan Fan. Don’t you dare think that you’re safe just because you’ve switched over to the equipment department. I’m warning you, I can launch an investigation on that incident that took place in the Thunder Horse Military Factory anytime. When the truth is known, not even your beloved Officer Yu can save you.”

Song Baicheng’s face turned pale. His lips twitched, itching to say something but he ultimately failed to utter a single word.

The current Fan Fan was not someone he could mess with.

“Hahaha.” Yu Shanhe started to laugh all of a sudden.

Xia Lei came closer to Fan Fan and whispered, “Is this it?”

“Mm-hmm,” she answered.

Xia Lei let out a breath he didn’t know he held.

Yu Shanhe’s laugh finally came to an end. “Fan Fan, you’re young and full of potential so I won’t mess with you. I also refuse to comment on how long you’d be able to stay in that position. I know you’re here to help Xia Lei but I feel the need to remind you that this concerns the country’s interest. With orders from above, Thunder Horse Organization would surely perform better in the near future. You joining him would indicate that you’re standing in the way of our country’s benefit. It would be akin to political betrayal.”
