Wu Mei actually took the initiative to invite him to dinner?

Facing Wu Mei's alluring smile, Lin Feng was momentarily stunned. He was still pondering how to change Wu Mei's negative impression of him, yet it seemed his image in her eyes had already improved... she was even inviting him to dinner!

"Well, I just helped out a bit; there's no need to treat me to dinner."

Lin Feng considered for a moment before replying politely.

This was a tactic known as 'playing hard to get.' If he accepted Wu Mei's invitation immediately, it would seem too abrupt. And if Wu Mei had just been joking, it would have been awkward. So, after Lin Feng's polite refusal, if Wu Mei extended the invitation again, he would then accept, making it seem more natural.

Just as Lin Feng expected, Wu Mei said, "It might be a small thing to you, but it's a big deal to me. Let's settle it then. Tonight at seven, Grand Hyatt Hotel. I'll book a table and text you the details."

With a smile as refreshing as a spring breeze, Wu Mei said, "It's settled then," before walking into the elevator and going upstairs.

Damn, are handsome guys really this popular nowadays?

Watching Wu Mei's departing figure, Lin Feng was completely baffled. He remembered being harshly scolded the last time for staring at her chest. How could she change so drastically after just one meeting? Could it really be because his charm was too potent for women...?

The transport department was selecting people for driving assignments, but Lin Feng, being new, wasn't chosen. So, in the afternoon, Lin Feng went straight to the transport department's break room to catch up on sleep for half the day.

When it was time to get off work, Lin Feng woke up. Remembering Wu Mei had invited him to dinner, he quickly checked his phone. Wu Mei had sent a text; she had already booked the table.

Lin Feng was puzzled. He hadn't given Wu Mei his phone number, so how did she know it? But then it dawned on him: Wu Mei was the assistant to the vice president. Getting his contact details from the Human Resources department would be a piece of cake for her.

Lin Feng stayed at the company until just past six o'clock before taking a taxi to the Grand Hyatt Hotel.

When he arrived in the lobby and gave Wu Mei's name, a waiter immediately led Lin Feng to a quiet table by the window, where Wu Mei was already seated, waiting for him.

Lin Feng sat down, checked the time, and said, "I'm not late; you're early. Heh, this makes me seem a bit ungentlemanly."

"It doesn't matter. It's just a casual meal; no need for so many formalities. I've already ordered the dishes I like. Take a look and order whatever else you want; don't worry about saving me money."

Wu Mei smiled faintly at Lin Feng. With two slender, jade-like fingers, she gently picked up the menu and passed it to him.

Lin Feng glanced at it; five dishes and a soup had already been ordered. He chuckled, "This is plenty of food. I'm easy to feed." With that, he handed the menu to the waiter waiting nearby.

"Sir, what would you like to drink?" the waiter asked.

"A Coke, please." Lin Feng smiled slightly and looked at Wu Mei. It was only then he noticed that Wu Mei was wearing different clothes than she had at noon.

Now, Wu Mei was wearing a striped short-sleeved top, draped with a black cardigan. Her hair was styled in something like an ancient 'flying cloud bun,' and combined with her delicate features, she looked incredibly dignified and graceful.

"You look very beautiful tonight," Lin Feng complimented.

"Thank you. However, you don't seem to have put much thought into this dinner; you haven't even changed your clothes."

Wu Mei smiled at Lin Feng as she spoke, making him grin a little sheepishly.

Soon, the dishes arrived, and the two began to eat.

After chatting for a while, Wu Mei asked, "Now that you've just transferred to the transport department, how do you find it?"

"It's alright," Lin Feng replied succinctly.

"The pay and benefits in the transport department are good, right? By the way, I hear the perks are related to the number of trips you make. Have you been on any runs yet?" Wu Mei asked again.

Lin Feng shook his head. "Not yet. I just transferred, so it won't be that quick. It seems I have to wait for notification from the higher-ups. By the way, isn't Boss Niu always in charge of the dispatch arrangements for the transport department? You're his secretary, so you should know, right?"

Hearing this, Wu Mei paused, stunned for a moment. Then, she said, somewhat awkwardly, "Boss Niu handles all these things himself. I'm not involved in these matters, and he doesn't want me to be." She chuckled lightly. "So, what are the main routes the transport department has been sending vehicles on recently?"

"Uh..."

Faced with Wu Mei's question, Lin Feng suddenly didn't know how to respond. It wasn't that he couldn't answer, but he found it a bit odd. This Wu Mei had been asking questions from the moment they started eating, almost like a police interrogation, which made him uncomfortable.

"I'm not too clear about the specific routes, as I haven't been on a run yet."

Lin Feng hesitated for a moment, choosing to feign ignorance.

In reality, ever since he arrived at the transport department, he had been very concerned about this. The destinations for the transport department's vehicles were very likely the hidden locations of the Emperor Dragon Group's drugs, or rendezvous points with drug smugglers. This information was extremely important to Lin Feng. So, he had obtained some locations and had initially identified a few places. But these places all looked very ordinary, so he planned to wait until after his first run to specifically verify the authenticity of this information.

"Oh, is that so?" Wu Mei observed Lin Feng's expression and continued with a faint smile. "Haven't you and your convoy colleagues chatted about interesting things that happen during drives? I hear being on the road can be quite boring."

He had originally wanted to get closer to Wu Mei to gather information. So, seizing the opportunity as Wu Mei kept talking about work matters, Lin Feng asked probingly, "No... Assistant Wu, you seem very concerned about the transport department's affairs, don't you? Heh, hasn't Boss Niu told you anything about them?"

"Um... Niu Bi is very busy. He generally doesn't talk to me about these things."

A flicker of disappointment mixed with a strange expression crossed Wu Mei's face. She then lowered her head and said nothing.

After a few dozen seconds of silence, Wu Mei looked up again and asked Lin Feng, "Lin Feng, we'll probably be done eating a little after eight. What are you doing after dinner?"

"Huh?" Lin Feng was stunned by the question.

Usually, when two people were out for a private dinner, asking this question implied that there might be an invitation for the evening. However, Wu Mei saying this made Lin Feng feel a bit uncomfortable. He had just done her a small favor, and she not only invited him to dinner but now wanted to invite him out for the evening too? To do what?

Lin Feng's gaze fell on Wu Mei's face. He saw her red lips purse slightly and her eyes blink at him. Her feigned reluctance mixed with an inviting look was incredibly alluring.

Damn, could this Wu Mei be an outwardly cold but inwardly passionate vixen? She wouldn't be like Liu Qing, planning to invite me to get a room tonight, would she?

Looking at the beautiful woman before him, with her coquettish glances and alluring posture, Lin Feng couldn't help but swallow hard.
