Chapter 276 Fireworks
Pei Xianjue was not surprised to be rejected, but she actually had some hope in her heart that Feng Ling would look at her differently.

Unfortunately not.

"You are a big celebrity now. If I want to invite you to dinner, I guess I have to wait in line." Pei Xianjue said playfully, "It is not convenient for me to take a leave, otherwise I would go to Qingjiang to visit you and send you the new fabric from the company's R&D department."

Feng Ling asked: "What fabric?"

"Oh, it's what I mentioned to you last time. Our company has a research department that specializes in developing products tailored for inspectors and hunters. We have made some progress on a type of clothing fabric. I just got the sample and I want you to give me some advice." Pei Xianjue said with a smile, "But I mainly want to see you, so can we have dinner together?"

"Okay, I'll come find you in two days."

Feng Ling had refused straightforwardly just now, and now he agreed straightforwardly as well.

Pei Xianjue's heart suddenly settled down, and the smile on his face became much more relaxed, "Okay, see you then!"

"Okay, see you then~" Feng Ling replied.

call ended.

Pei Xianjue let out a long sigh.

Baozi saw that she was relieved and said with a smile: "Is there any new fabric for Daxiong and me? Miss, please take care of us."

Big Bear nodded immediately, "Yes! Otherwise I would tear up a set of clothes every time I turn into a bear."

Pei Xianjue laughed and looked at the two of them, "There is no such thing as new fabric. The research and development speed is not that fast."

Baozi was stunned, "What happened just now was..."

"I lied." Pei Xianjue smiled helplessly, "If I don't find a reason, I don't know how to ask her to meet. I can only urge the R&D department to send over the semi-finished products in the experiment."

…………

……

Feng Ling was still on his way back to Qingjiang.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Zheng asked her: "Who called you?"

"Pei Xianjue, Deputy Captain Pei of Yuquan City." Feng Ling smiled, "She wants to give me high-tech clothing fabrics. I have good relationships with people, right~"

Ye Zheng frowned slightly, "Why not just send it over by express delivery?"

"She wants to invite me to dinner. Yuquan and Qingjiang are not too far away, so I'll go there." Feng Ling glanced at Ye Zheng, the corner of her mouth curled up, "Do you still remember Baozi? He is Pei Xianjue's bodyguard. Before, in order to prevent you from going crazy, I asked her to borrow a bodyguard, and she sent someone to help without saying a word. Now she invites me to dinner, it would be inappropriate for me to refuse."

Ye Zheng thought about it and nodded, "It's time to go."

Then he continued, "Mind control cards are relatively scarce. Supervisors who hold such cards are either assigned to civilian positions or protected by scientific research institutes. Pei Xianjue actually let someone who holds a mind control card be her bodyguard. The Pei Group is really willing to invest resources in her."

"Because Baozi was originally her bodyguard, unless Baozi quits his job." Feng Ling recalled the experience at Sanqing Mountain, "...Oh, I remember now, she seemed to want to balance the card ability of another bodyguard."

Feng Ling told Ye Zheng about Liang Zhou.

She usually couldn't remember those unimportant names, but the nicknames Pei Xianjue gave to the two bodyguards were so easy to remember, one was called Baozi and the other was called Haohan. It can be seen that being good at giving nicknames is also an advantage.

After hearing this, Ye Zheng commented indifferently: "The giant wolf Fenrir, who is prone to losing control of his emotions, is a good match for the peaceful and auspicious Jixiangtian. It seems that she has put a lot of thought into securing her position."

Feng Ling tilted his head to observe Ye Zheng's expression.

However, Ye Zheng always had a cold face, and Feng Ling could not draw any conclusions from his observations.

"Do you hate Pei Xianjue?" Feng Ling asked curiously.

Ye Zheng frowned and replied: "Why would I hate her? She's just a little girl. I feel sorry for her."

Feng Ling became even more curious, "Have pity on her?" Ye Zheng smiled coldly, "Isn't it pitiful? A little girl who has never received professional training has been promoted to the position of deputy captain of the inspection team. From then on, she will face alien species head-on and bear pressure that she should not have to bear."

"Is this considered pitiful? I think she is quite happy about it." Feng Ling replied.

Ye Zheng's mouth curled up into a mocking smile, "She is happy, but are her parents happy too? She was pushed to her current position with the help of the Pei Group behind the scenes, which shows that her parents fully accept that their daughter lives in danger every day. You can check online to see how many casualties the inspectors have suffered so far, and think about it, if a war breaks out, how many parents will willingly send their children to the battlefield."

After hearing what she said, Feng Ling also realized that Pei Xianjue's situation was a little delicate, "...It's not as serious as you said. Pei Xianjue has two bodyguards with him. He can protect himself if he encounters danger."

Ye Zheng looked disdainful, "With her ability, I suggest she bring twenty."

"Tsk~" Feng Ling sighed, "You are too mean."

But after all, it was other people's business. They chatted and gossiped for a while, and then the topic was over.

It was already late at night when the truck drove back to Qingjiang City.

Even far away from the city, people were setting off fireworks, and the night sky was filled with colorful lights and flames, as grand as the New Year's Eve festival.

Feng Ling climbed onto the roof of the car to watch the fireworks and couldn't help laughing: "Su Yuqing is so exaggerated~"

Ye Zheng in the carriage was silent for a long time, and whispered: "He is indeed very boastful."

Although he looked gentle and serious, he liked to hold some flashy ceremonies. Ye Zheng still remembered that terrible proposal surprise.

She hated surprises and hoped that every step of her life could go as smoothly as planned, so she didn't give him a good look that day.

Even now when she recalled it, she still didn't like surprises, but she had to admit that the bouquet that day was beautiful and the ring was just right...

"Hey, come up and take a look, otherwise it will be over soon!" Feng Ling urged.

"Boring." Ye Zheng said with disgust, but after being urged by Feng Ling several times, he reluctantly climbed onto the roof of the car.

Huge fireworks bloomed in the night, one after another, warm and dazzling.

A convoy of the Supervisory Bureau appeared on the road in the distance.

One of the motorcycles stood out.

"There are so many people~" Feng Ling looked around, "I saw Zhou Chu."

Ye Zheng jumped back into the carriage without saying a word.

Since Zhou Chu is here, Su Yuqing must be not far away.

The roar of the motorcycle drowned out the sound of fireworks and firecrackers. Zhou Chu's messy hair was blown even more messy by the wind. He waved to Feng Ling with extreme excitement.

“Feng Ling!!!”

Feng Ling was amused. This guy was shouting too loudly.

However, just as Zhou Qi finished speaking, the same call came from farther away:

“Feng Ling! ——Feng Ling!——”

The streets were crowded with people in the dark night, and her name was like an echo and a note, constantly passing on into the distance.

Feng Ling stood on the roof of the car, stunned for a moment.

Ye Zheng below raised his head, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and asked: "How do you feel now?"

Feng Ling felt it carefully and replied: "It seems like a feeling of... being a mother."

Today I saw a few more rewards in the background. I feel complicated. I have been stuck in writing these days and can't write smoothly. I feel like I can't repay you well. Oh, I'm worried. I'm going to turn my hair white with worry.
