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

Lin Feng sat on the sofa waiting for her, casually checking his phone for messages. Xu Momo had sent several videos and photos that afternoon, footage taken in Suzhou that day.

With a professional team, the results are definitely different.

The composition, lighting, and post-production color grading have all improved significantly. In one set of photos, she wore a dark green cheongsam and stood in front of the gray and white walls of the Suzhou Museum. Her temperament completely carried the look, and there are already hundreds of comments in the comment section, all saying "The elegant and mature woman with a traditional Chinese style is stunning."

Raymond Lam replied: This set of photos turned out well; the team I hired was worth it.

"Is President Lin replying to his girlfriend's messages?" Ouyang Qian's voice came from behind, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"How did you know it was your girlfriend?" Lin Feng locked the screen and turned his head.

"The way you look at your phone." She took a small crossbody bag from the clothes rack and slung it over her shoulder. "The corners of your mouth are turned up. You're definitely not looking at work messages."

"Good observation skills."

"Otherwise, how can I be your director?" She walked to the door, turned off the light, and said, "Let's go."

The two walked out of the office together.

The motion-activated lights in the corridor turned on at the sound of footsteps and turned off automatically after they passed. While waiting for the elevator, Ouyang Qian tidied her hair in front of the elevator door mirror, brushing a few stray strands behind her shoulders.

The elevator doors opened, and the elevator was empty.

"How's Niu Niu doing at her new school?" Lin Feng pressed the button on the first floor.

"She's doing great and adapting quickly." Ouyang Qian's tone softened noticeably when she talked about her daughter. "Just a couple of days ago, she told me she made two good friends, one sits at her desk and the other lives in the neighborhood next door."

"That's good. How's the teaching quality here?"

"It's much better than the previous one, and the teachers are more responsible. I attended the parent-teacher meeting last week, and the math teacher had a good impression of Niu Niu, saying she's in the top five in her class." She paused, then turned to look at Lin Feng. "Mr. Lin, I've been wanting to formally thank you for this. If I were to arrange it myself, I wouldn't have been able to get Niu Niu into this school; I wouldn't have been able to get past the school district housing hurdle alone. Your help is more than just a professional favor to me."

"You are my capable assistant," Lin Feng said. "It is my duty to take good care of your family. Only when Niu Niu can go to school with peace of mind can you work with peace of mind."

Ouyang Qian smiled and didn't continue the topic, but the smile lingered on her lips for a couple more seconds before disappearing.

The elevator reached the basement level, the doors opened, and the two walked through the parking garage to her car. Lin Feng got into the passenger seat as usual, Ouyang Qian started the car, and Xiao Mi slowly drove out of the garage, merging into the night traffic.

"What would you like to eat?"

"You decide. You know the restaurants at Hohai University better than I do."

"I'll take you to a nice place."

The place Lin Feng navigated to was a grilled fish restaurant in an alley in the old town.

The storefront wasn't large, but the interior was quite spacious, with clean wooden tables and chairs, and a warm yellow lamp hanging on each table.

It was past the dinner rush, and there were only two or three tables occupied in the restaurant, with empty seats by the window. Ouyang Qian chose a corner booth and pushed the menu in front of Lin Feng.

"You order."

Lin Feng didn't look at the menu and directly asked the waiter for a spicy grilled fish, with enoki mushrooms, tofu skin and potato slices, and also ordered two bottles of local Jiangbei iced drinks.

After the waiter finished taking the order and left, Ouyang Qian turned the teacups on the table over and poured herself and Lin Feng each a cup of barley tea.

The warm yellow light in the store shone on her, making the light blue dress appear warmer under the light, and softening the lines of her collarbone and shoulders.

When pouring tea, she leaned forward slightly, her full breasts pressing against the edge of the table, causing the part above her strapless neckline to bulge slightly, which was particularly noticeable from Lin Feng's angle.

"I rarely go out to eat with men this late." She put the teapot back on the table and leaned back in her booth chair.

"Then I am honored." Lin Feng picked up his teacup and took a sip. The barley tea had a roasted aroma and was at the perfect temperature.

"I don't know why, but I feel very relaxed around you." Ouyang Qian held the teacup with both hands, her fingers slowly circling the rim. "You delegate work matters to me, and I don't need to ask for permission for everything. We can joke around in private, and you don't look at me like that because of what I'm wearing."

"What kind of look?"

"It's that kind of—" She thought for a moment, put down her teacup, and gestured to her chest with her hand, "...the kind where when his eyes sweep over you, you can feel in his mind that he's already stripped you naked. You know what I mean?"

"Understand."

"You don't have that." Ouyang Qian looked into his eyes, her tone certain. "I can't quite put my finger on it, but you don't have that—in your men's terms—greasy feeling."

"Maybe it's because I'm surrounded by a lot of women, so I've developed a strong immune system." Lin Feng put his teacup on the table and spread his hands towards her. "That's why I can resist your charm."

Ouyang Qian covered her mouth and laughed out loud, her chest heaving with each laugh, the edge of her strapless neckline swaying below her collarbone. After laughing, she wiped the corner of her eye with her fingertip, picked up her teacup and took a sip, as if trying to suppress her laughter with this gesture.

"Then all my charm has been wasted?"

"It's not a complete waste; at least the aesthetic value is still there. Eating with you is a feast for the eyes."

"Mr. Lin, you have such a mouth—" She shook her head, not saying the rest of her sentence.

The grilled fish has been served.

An alcohol lamp was lit under the grill pan, and the red oil sizzled and bubbled on the fish. The aroma of Sichuan peppercorns and dried chilies mingled with the smoky fragrance of the grilled fish, filling the entire booth. Ouyang Qian picked up a piece of fish belly meat, put it in her mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and nodded.

"This place has great food. How did you find it?"

"I came here once before with some friends," Lin Feng said, picking up a piece as well. "They said this place has been open for over ten years."

The two chatted as they ate.

Ouyang Qian briefly outlined the plan for tomorrow's launch meeting: to set up the project team within three days, draw core personnel from within the company, and appoint a person in charge for each of the three lines of business liaison, engineering decoration, and brand investment promotion, who would report directly to her.

"If this project is managed properly, it could become one of Shuke Company's main revenue-generating industries within the next five years." She dipped her chopsticks in tea and drew four circles on the table, "forming a four-legged balance with the government's digitalization project, the karst cave scenic area, and the health product business."

"You're that confident?"

"The data speaks for itself." Ouyang Qian put down her chopsticks. "The penetration rate of new energy vehicles in Hehai City is only slightly over 20%, and it's even lower in Jiangbei Province as a whole. In terms of policy, the subsidies will only increase over the next three years. There's market demand, policy benefits, and Shuke has the qualifications. With all three things in place, only a fool wouldn't do it."
