62: Chapter 61 Following

As the Golden Core elder's figure disappeared around the corner, a young Foundation Establishment female Cultivator hurried forward with short, quick steps.

Her face was filled with apology.

"The Golden Core Cultivator just now forcibly..."

Before she could finish, Wen Xinmei raised her hand to signal her to stop.

"It's fine. Lead the way."

A moment later, the group arrived at the exclusive office of the head of the Procurement Management Department.

Under the detailed explanation of the Foundation Establishment female Cultivator, Wen Xinmei began to get to grips with the work related to the Procurement Management Department.

Having grown up in the Wen family, she had naturally learned business management, and she handled the handover very efficiently.

In contrast, Li Fan was naturally completely clueless about these matters.

He simply gave up, lying on the guest sofa, leisurely slacking off with his terminal.

At the desk, Wen Xinmei stared at the various processes listed on the screen, occasionally communicating with the Foundation Establishment female Cultivator to verify the funds.

Li Fan had no intention of crowding forward to watch the excitement or offer any advice.

After all, he understood the principle that professional matters should be handled by professionals.

A good half of the afternoon passed in a flash, but Wen Xinmei showed no signs of stopping.

Li Fan, who didn't have Wen Xinran to tease, was starting to get restless.

He gave a quick word and planned to go out for a stroll.

To see how the ecological environment of United Pharmaceutical was.

Just as he was about to step out of the office door, Wen Xinmei remembered something and looked up to call him back.

A moment later, Li Fan looked at the job permissions that had just taken effect on his terminal, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Chief Secretary, me?"

He reached out and pointed at himself, never expecting that one day he would actually become a secretary.

Wen Xinmei treated it as a moment of relaxation, her eyes carrying a playful glint.

"What, are you aggrieved by being my Chief Secretary, or..."

Li Fan saw her beautiful legs, which were crossed beneath the desk, sweep slightly.

"Or do you think the space under my desk isn't big enough?"

"Can't accommodate you?"

This remark completely stumped Li Fan.

What did a secretary have to do with the space under the desk?

He raised an eyebrow, looked at the Chief's half-smiling expression, and suddenly realized.

"I actually got teased, damn it."

Li Fan felt indignant, feeling that his masculine dignity had been challenged.

But he currently had no way to deal with the Golden Core realm Wen Xinmei.

He could only let out a cold snort, then silently turned and left the office.

He hadn't walked far when Wen Xinmei's voice came from behind.

"Secretary Li, while you're at it, help me find a few good spots in the building."

"I will accompany you later to discuss them in depth."

Such bold and suggestive words.

And it wasn't through rumors, but spoken openly and aboveboard.

Even Li Fan, a battle-hardened veteran, felt a bit embarrassed upon hearing this and quickened his pace to leave.

At the same time, his past experiences with Wen Xinmei surfaced in his mind.

In front of her sister, and inside the crowded shuttle to Xuanzhuan University.

Thinking of this, Li Fan suddenly realized that Wen Xinmei likely had some special hobby, and it was becoming bolder as she spent more time with him.

He sighed inwardly, realizing this was not good.

The desire in his heart to reach the Golden Core Breakthrough reached its peak.

Inside the Chief's office, the Foundation Establishment female Cultivator heard it but remained expressionless.

She had naturally heard rumors of the female corporate Chief keeping a male Cultivator as a kept man, having been in the industry for a long time.

Moreover, this Li Fan looked exactly like one of those pretty boys from an entertainment idol group.

She had some suspicions the first time she saw him, and now it could only be said to be confirmed.

Wen Xinmei, who was to the side, felt her tense mood ease slightly after the brief verbal banter with Li Fan.

Her tense expression relaxed a little, and a hint of a smile appeared on her face.

However, as she watched Li Fan leave, she immediately restrained her smile.

She gestured for the Foundation Establishment female Cultivator to continue, diving back into the complex work.

Meanwhile, inside the United Pharmaceutical building, Li Fan was wandering around.

The entire building was divided into East and West zones, with the West zone provided for the use of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Center.

He had already left the floor of the Procurement Management Department and came down to the floor of the R&D Management Department.

Li Fan appeared to be wandering aimlessly, but he was noting down everything he saw along the way.

Passing by Cultivators wearing uniform attire, the continuously operating defensive Formation, and the security personnel appearing on schedule.

After all, the boss of the R&D Department had just harbored murderous intent toward him; Li Fan was no fool, he wouldn't just take nothing to heart.

While he was looking around.

Two Cultivators dressed in the attire of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Center walked side by side, and their whispered conversation fell into his ears.

"The new Chief Wen is quite bold, forcibly taking over Elder Qin's Procurement Department."

"What's the rush? The Procurement Department has long been purged by Elder Qin; the procurement accounts and spiritual material channels handled by them all have problems."

"How can Chief Wen handle it in such a short time? Just wait and see; in less than five days, there will definitely be trouble."

"By then, maybe Chief Wen won't be able to sit in that position anymore."

As their voices faded, they brushed past him, their eyes hiding mockery.

Li Fan's footsteps paused slightly, his gaze turning cold.

It wasn't because he felt a chill in his heart regarding Elder Qin's secret conspiracy.

Rather, he wouldn't believe it so easily.

He had only walked a few steps, and he just happened to hear information related to Elder Qin's conspiracy.

How could there be such a coincidence in the world? Isn't this treating him like an idiot?

He looked around, but didn't see any suspicious personnel.

"Misdirection? Or is it..."

He didn't stop his pace and continued walking down.

Not long after, he emerged from the West zone and arrived at the first-floor atrium.

Opposite was the East zone, the Medical Center.

At the front desk between the two zones, two girls in black stockings were boredly looking at their terminals.

Li Fan went up to them and discovered that they were watching the stage of an idol group.

But it wasn't 'Xianmi Group', but 'Feise Group'.

Since Luo Shuying retired from Xianmi Group, its popularity was no longer as overwhelming as before, and it had been caught up by Feise Group.

Now it was a neck-and-neck situation.

Seeing these two Qi Refining little girls so engrossed, Li Fan coughed twice.

Immediately, they reacted, hurriedly looking at Li Fan, their eyes instantly sparkling.

"So handsome!"

Li Fan naturally wasn't here to listen to their flattery; he raised his eyebrows to signal at the access control in front of the Medical Center.

"Can I go in here?"

He wasn't quite sure if his Pharmaceutical Affairs Center permissions would be valid in the Medical Center.

And these two girls kept their eyes fixed on Li Fan's face, speaking at the same time.

"Young master, what is your position? Let me check for you."

So Li Fan placed his terminal on the sensor area.

Following that, the four big characters "Chief Secretary" jumped out.

Seeing this, the two girls who had just been acting infatuated hurriedly bowed their heads, speaking somewhat nervously.

"Chief Secretary... your permissions can access the vast majority of areas."

After simply replying to Li Fan, they didn't dare to look up again, fearing they would say something wrong.

Seeing this, Li Fan also had a preliminary understanding of his position.

He didn't intend to scare the two of them either.

However, a System prompt suddenly jumped out.

[Strongest Underdog Counterattack System offline, strongest face-slapping system online]

Li Fan was a bit surprised, his gaze sweeping toward the two trembling receptionists in front of him.

He really couldn't think of anything to "face-slap" here.

Just as he was puzzled, a familiar figure emerged from the gate of the West zone behind him, not stopping, and went straight into the East zone.

"The System's change must be related to him."

This person was none other than Qin Jindan, Li Fan thought to himself.

Only an afternoon had passed, and seeing him again, the System had changed from Bottom-Up Reversal to face-slapping.

From this, it could be judged that this person's threat to him in the System's assessment had decreased significantly.

Thinking of this, Li Fan's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

Among the first five realms of cultivation, the gap between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core, Nascent Soul and Dao Entry was the largest.

Although Li Fan had already reached the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, he considered himself still no match for a Golden Core Cultivator.

"Could there be some special situation happening?"

The judgment made based on the System conversion was much more reliable than the news heard in the corridor just now.

So Li Fan immediately followed him.
