The Secret of the Yoga Club: The Women's Identity is Not Simple

Lin Feng was indeed very satisfied with Wang Yue's performance just now.

Leaning back in the passenger seat, he gently pressed his finger against her swollen lips, his tone casual yet weighty: "The newly established Shuke Health Management Company will be headed by you as general manager, with an annual salary of three million. Ma Qingqing will temporarily serve as the general manager's assistant, with an annual salary of one and a half million. The centralized procurement department will be directly merged into the new company, and all business related to Chinese medicinal herbs and tonics will fall under its umbrella. Once the factory in Ning County is built, if it performs well, subsequent product lines such as Bailong Tea and Epimedium will also adopt this model—building processing bases locally, with headquarters responsible for branding and sales. You've been in the centralized procurement department for so long, you're familiar with every aspect from purchasing to sales, so I trust you most to take on this position."

Wang Yue was wiping away the tear stains left in the corners of her eyes with a wet wipe. When she heard "annual salary of three million", her fingers paused for a moment. She looked up at Lin Feng, and the two dimples at the corners of her mouth unconsciously appeared.

Three million, nearly ten times her current salary, and more importantly, this position means that she is the one who calls the shots in the new company, apart from Lin Feng.

She's been with Lin Feng for so long, from being a little secretary who would get rear-ended while driving to now being able to manage the entire procurement department on her own. Every step of her journey has been thanks to him.

Entrusting the new company to her directly this time is a recognition of her efforts and a sign of trust in her abilities.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin. I will definitely do a good job with the new company and live up to your trust. I will personally oversee the processing plant in Ning County, and there will be no problems with the production schedule and quality. I will also mentor Ma Qingqing and help her get up to speed as soon as possible. She has been making great progress recently. I felt that this girl had potential when she was independently leading the new product line before. Now that I can give her a bigger platform, I am happy for her."

"I know your character and abilities. From now on, you represent the Shuke Group. Be assertive when necessary and don't have to worry about anyone else's feelings. If you encounter anything you can't handle, come to me directly." Lin Feng removed his hand from her lips, fastened his seatbelt, started the car, and drove towards the hotel.

Back at the hotel that evening, Lin Feng took Ma Qingqing for a stroll around the county town.

Although Ning County is not very wealthy or developed, its people are simple and honest, and street vendors greet them warmly. An uncle selling roasted lamb skewers by the roadside, speaking with a heavy Northwestern accent, called out, "Girls, come and try it! If you don't like it, you don't have to pay!" Ma Qingqing, arm in arm with Lin Feng, couldn't stop smiling the whole way.

She stopped in front of the barbecue stall. The lamb skewers were sizzling and dripping with oil. The cumin and chili powder sprinkled on top were stimulated by the charcoal fire, and the aroma went straight into her nose.

"Lin Feng, smell this! It smells so good. The lamb skewers I used to eat at Hohai are nothing compared to this. The lamb here is freshly slaughtered, and the meat quality is completely different. Uncle, give me two skewers, extra chili."

"Girl, you have good taste! My sheep are all free-range on the mountain, eating wild grass and drinking spring water. Their meat is much better than those factory-farmed sheep in the city. Your boyfriend is so lucky to have found such a beautiful girl. Extra chili, right? Okay!"

Ma Qingqing took two freshly made lamb skewers, handed one to Lin Feng, took a bite herself, and gasped from the heat, but still mumbled "delicious."

Seeing her so different from how she was at the company, Lin Feng couldn't help but chuckle. He reached out and wiped the chili powder from the corner of her mouth. "Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you. If Wang Yue saw you eating like this, she'd definitely laugh at you again."

"She wouldn't laugh at me. She eats hot pot even more than me. Last time we had barbecue at my house, she ate almost half a plate of pork belly by herself, and finally collapsed on the sofa, saying she didn't want to move anymore." After becoming Lin Feng's woman, Ma Qingqing became a bit clingy, always holding his arm wherever they went, and occasionally she would stand on tiptoe and kiss him on the cheek.

She herself felt that she had changed. Before, when she was at Hohai University, she would always hunch her back and try to hide her figure when she walked on the street. Now, she straightened her back and confidently took his arm, as if she wanted the whole world to know that this man was hers.

They ate the most famous mutton noodles in the area at a time-honored noodle shop. The soup was rich and the noodles were chewy. Ma Qingqing finished a whole bowl and then asked for another.

"The mutton here is so much better than at Hehai. Lin Feng, do you think I can come here more often for business trips after the processing plant is built? I'll eat the mutton noodles here every time I come. My third uncle said this noodle shop has been open for decades, and the owner's recipe is a family tradition. The soup base is made by simmering mutton bones for most of the day, which is why it's so fragrant."

"You're the general manager's assistant, so you'll be handling a lot of things here from now on. Eat whatever you want, no need to report to me. But be careful when you're traveling alone; it's dark here at night, so don't wander around too late by yourself." Lin Feng chatted with her about the new company while they ate, going over the arrangements he'd discussed with Wang Yue in the car in detail. "Learn a lot from Wang Yue. You're familiar with the centralized procurement department's business, but the new company involves supply chain management, government liaison, and brand operation—all new areas. You need to grow quickly and take on more responsibility. Wang Yue has been leading the centralized procurement department for so long; absorb her experience. You need to be able to work independently in the future."

"General Manager's Assistant? 1.5 million a year?" Ma Qingqing's chopsticks froze in mid-air, her eyes wide with disbelief. It took her a long time to recover. "President Lin—no, Lin Feng, when I interned at that trading company, I only made less than 3,000 a month. Now you're giving me 1.5 million? Am I really worth that much? Last night I was thinking, 'Is it a dream that you're so good to me?' And today you've promoted me and given me a raise. I feel like I might never wake up from this dream."

"Whether you're worth it or not isn't up to you to decide, it's up to me. Your work ability speaks for itself. You personally oversaw every step of building the new product line from scratch to its current scale. What's valuable is you as a person, not your position. Also, don't call me 'General Manager Lin' in private anymore, call me by my name. You called me by my name quite well last night." Lin Feng picked up his teacup, took a sip, looked into her eyes, and smiled slightly.

Ma Qingqing's face flushed red to the roots of her neck. She remembered that she had indeed called his name several times in bed last night, her voice so soft...

He lowered his head and finished the remaining noodles in his bowl, thinking to himself, "An annual salary of 1.5 million, and maybe even more in the future."

Her current annual income has reached a figure she never dared to dream of before.

Her parents can pay off their mortgage in Hehai ahead of schedule, her grandmother can be transferred to a better hospital for dialysis, and she can even buy her own small house in Hehai.

And all of this is because of the man in front of you.
