My capital is quite large.

Chapter 274 The Way

In Jinling, there is a private reservoir with swaying trees on the outskirts.

Two high-end fishing chairs were set up side by side on the shore. Zhang Yuxi, the president's chief secretary, carried a suitcase and warm water and served Li Feng fishing closely on the shore.

However, Li Feng's luck was clearly not good today. For an hour straight, he didn't even see the slightest tremor on the float.

Seeing that he was about to "fail" again, Li Feng's brows gradually furrowed.

He unconsciously activated the rudimentary Taoist physiognomy and feng shui fortune-telling techniques he had learned from "The Origin and Flow of Gases," and felt that the magnetic field and fortune of the day were somewhat off.

Suddenly, Li Feng's gaze fell on Zhang Yuxi, who was standing to the side, looking somewhat at a loss.

To be precise, it landed on her meticulously tailored royal blue business suit.

blue……

Li Feng's eyelids twitched violently.

At Tokyo University, the Air Force's representative color is none other than that azure blue!

For a fishing enthusiast who is gradually becoming obsessed, the word "air force" is undoubtedly the most vicious curse and the greatest taboo in the world!

"No wonder I haven't seen a single fish this morning; it turns out this girl was here in an 'air force' uniform to keep me in check!"

Li Feng withdrew his gaze and secretly made some deductions.

According to his rudimentary fortune-telling logic, today water and water clash, and the fire element in the south of Nanjing is too strong, so it must be neutralized by the earth and wood elements.

And the birth charts of those two recently favored young actresses—Mao Xiaotong and Zhao Liying—are exactly what could greatly boost his luck today!

Thinking about this, Li Feng had an idea:

"Yu Xi, make a call and call Mao Xiaotong and Zhao Liying over here. They'll come fishing with me today."

Zhang Yuxi was taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

Li Feng's tone left no room for argument:

"You have the day off today, go back to the manor and rest. Don't work today, and unless it's something extremely important, don't bother me."

After uttering this inexplicable order, Li Feng dismissed her.

Zhang Yuxi was still in a daze when she got into the car returning to Zijinshan Manor with her bag.

She doubted herself the whole way:

"What did I do wrong today? Was my posture wrong? Or was my breathing too heavy when I poured water? Why did the boss look at me with such disdain, as if he didn't want me to stay even a minute longer?"

Filled with grievances and exhaustion, Zhang Yuxi returned to the secretary suite on the side of the main building of the manor.

She had intended to go in and get some sleep, but the moment she reached out and pushed open the door, she froze in the entryway.

"Sister Xinyu...you, what are you doing here?" Zhang Yuxi's voice was hurried.

At this moment, Xiao Zhang was unsure whether Da Zhang had received the news in advance or if it was just a coincidence.

Looking at Zhang Yuxi's face, which was filled with question marks.

Zhang Xinyu couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle softly.

The laughter echoed in the quiet suite, carrying a hint of unspoken mockery.

"Alright, stop overthinking. Don't you still understand why Mr. Li suddenly sent you back from the reservoir?"

Da Zhang's response confirmed Xiao Zhang's guess; Da Zhang was clearly aware of the boss's every move.

Was he a driver? Or a bodyguard?

But she clearly wasn't in the mood to delve into it; figuring out why she had suddenly fallen out of favor was the priority right now.

Zhang Yuxi nodded somewhat aggrievedly: "Sister Xinyu, I really didn't know. I followed the rules exactly in every detail today..."

"So, you still have a lot to learn."

Zhang Xinyu glanced at Zhang Yuxi from head to toe and pointed to the royal blue dress she was wearing.

"Look at yourself. What color are you wearing today?"

Zhang Yuxi looked a little confused: "Blue? What's wrong with that?"

"What's wrong?!"

Zhang Xinyu raised an eyebrow: "At our Dongda University, isn't the Air Force's representative color blue?!"

"Mr. Li is now incredibly superstitious about fishing! In fishing jargon, what does 'air force' mean?"

Air Force... blue... fisherman's superstition...

"My God, it's because of this?!"

Zhang Yuxi was stunned. She had thought of everything, but she never imagined that she would be sent back because the color of her clothes clashed with the boss's luck.

"Then...then I'll ask for your advice next time..." Zhang Yuxi quickly and humbly asked for your advice.

"I've got it."

Zhang Xinyu suggested, "Next time you go fishing with the boss, wear white! That's the navy's color! It symbolizes that you'll be able to continuously catch big catches from the water!"

"At the very least, wear red, it's auspicious! As long as you understand these tricks, the boss will naturally think you're someone who can bring him good fortune."

Zhang Yuxi was taking careful notes in her mind, and she admired Zhang's ability to assess the situation to the point of prostration.

"I understand! Sister Xinyu, I really understand! How come I never thought of these things before..."

"Alright, that's just a minor point."

Zhang Xinyu's smile vanished, and her eyes suddenly turned sharp:

"I'm waiting here today to ask you something else."

"You signed Zhang Tianai to a ten-year management contract?"

Zhang Yuxi trembled and lowered her head: "Sister Xinyu, I... I felt sorry for her because I saw how hard she was suffering alone at the bottom of society... Did I do something wrong?"

"You have some connection with her, so it's only natural to lend a hand out of kindness."

"But your status is different now. You now represent the boss's image, and many people are watching your every word and action."

"Xiao Zhang, remember this: there are some things you can do, but you must never do them in your own name, and you must not leave any evidence against yourself!"

"She wants an opportunity. As her chief secretary, all you need to do is make a private call to the director of 'Go Princess Go,' saying it's a web series and you're doing him a favor. The matter will be handled quietly behind the scenes."

"But you went and signed her a full-fledged ten-year contract with great fanfare!"

"What will those shrewd people in the talent department think? They'll speculate: Since Secretary Zhang personally signed someone, is this girl some new favorite the boss has his eye on? Anyone who doesn't know better would think the boss has his eye on her!"

"Once this contract is signed, won't everyone know about it? What if word gets out? Do you think that's appropriate?"

Zhang Yuxi repeatedly lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "Sister Xinyu, I was wrong... I didn't think things through, I was immature."

"You still have a lot to learn," Zhang Xinyu said, calming her down.

Zhang Yuxi quickly changed the subject: "Sister Xinyu, I'll remember... By the way, how are your studies going lately? I heard you're graduating soon?"

Zhang Xinyu said with a hint of pride, "I will get my bachelor's degree in July and then I can go straight to Jinling University for a master's degree and stay there to continue my studies."

Zhang Yuxi was taken aback, somewhat puzzled: "Sister Xinyu, I remember you said before that the boss required a master's degree from Tsinghua or Peking University and a doctorate from the University of Hong Kong, right? Why did you suddenly change it to Jinling University?"

"Although Tsinghua and Peking Universities have great reputations, that's just for show," Da Zhang said casually.

"Jinling University, that's Mr. Li's alma mater! And he himself got his master's degree from Jinling!"

"I have a PhD from Jinling University. Do you think my boss would really disown a PhD from his own alma mater? When dealing with a boss, don't just listen to what he says; you have to watch what he does!"
