Wang Ling opened her mouth, not understanding why Ling Feng would take the initiative to suggest that she become the Deputy General Manager.

Ling Feng could naturally see Wang Ling's confusion, and he said with a smile, "To be fair, based on your abilities, you would more than suffice in the position of General Manager, but you must understand one thing: at present, the International Market Department is a crucial expansion department for Chaoyang Group, and at this stage, President Yun will only entrust it to someone from the direct lineage. So, this isn't dissatisfaction with your capabilities, do you understand?"

Wang Ling sighed, "I do understand that, but I just felt somewhat disgruntled before."

"It's right for you to feel disgruntled!" said Ling Feng. "I acknowledge your strength, and as long as you understand my philosophy, I believe you will achieve greater success in the International Market Department! My recommendation for President Yun to promote you as Deputy General Manager is, first, recognition of your abilities, and second, I want you to help me handle some miscellaneous affairs in the Marketing Department."

Speaking candidly, Ling Feng added, "Although I am the General Manager of the International Market Department, I cannot stay at Chaoyang Group forever! Once President Yun sees your ability and loyalty, the position of the department's General Manager will be yours!"

A gleam of ambition flashed in Wang Ling's eyes, for a soldier who didn't wish to become a general wasn't a good soldier. Since her entry into Chaoyang Group, Wang Ling had resolved to carve out her own career there.

"But what about Manager Sun?" Wang Ling hesitantly asked.

Her heart felt uneasy, wondering if she would have to step down once Sun Xiaofei returned from maternity leave? If that were the case, Wang Ling would definitely not agree!

"You don't need to worry about Sun Xiaofei's situation! When she returns, President Yun will naturally have new arrangements," Ling Feng said with a smile. "What I want to ask you now is, do you have the confidence to take on the responsibilities of Deputy General Manager?"

Wang Ling took a deep breath, her eyes firm with resolve, "Yes, I definitely will surprise you all!"

Ling Feng patted Wang Ling's shoulder with a chuckling, "Good, then today's affairs of the Marketing Department are in your hands. Come to me if you encounter any issues you can't solve! I need to step out for a bit."

As he said this, Ling Feng smiled at Wang Ling, then casually walked out.

Wang Ling was stupefied, watching Ling Feng's back as an idea flashed through her mind, "Is Manager Ling... skipping work?"

Suddenly another thought struck her. Could it be that Ling Feng suggested her to become the Deputy General Manager so he could shirk his duties by handing over the International Market Department to her?

Stepping outside the company, Ling Feng felt refreshed. Although there wasn't much to do in the office, he was never someone who could sit still there.

"Hmm, I have legit business to attend to today! I'm not skiving!" Ling Feng nodded to himself, then briskly walked away.

In the CEO's office, Yun Hanrui received a call and then turned to Liu Tingyu with a wry smile, "Ting Yu, you really called it, that guy Ling Feng, he really did skip work!"

As Liu Tingyu processed some documents, he shrugged, "He's actually a free spirit, and the company can't really tie him down... If there's anything that could, it's probably just his women!"

Yun Hanrui's face blushed slightly, "Then why did you appoint him as the head of the Marketing Department in the first place if it's all for naught?"

Liu Tingyu looked up and chuckled, "How can you say it's for naught? Now that he's skipped work, don't we have a legitimate reason to make legitimate demands? And I guarantee he won't dare to object! Besides, our aim is to restrain him, as long as he understands our intent, that's enough!"

Yun Hanrui nodded slightly; she seemed to grasp Liu Tingyu's meaning. Although they were willing to follow Ling Feng without considering their status, it didn't mean they were willing to accept more and more sisters.

Moreover, with Ling Feng's intelligence, he should have understood the two women's intentions. That was actually enough!

"Ting Yu, Ling Feng will end up being spoiled by you sooner or later," Yun Hanrui thought to herself with a sigh.

In fact, Ling Feng did have important business to attend to that day. From his conversation with Mu Xiao the day before, he had discreetly detected a strong sense of unease in Mu Xiao's heart; thus, today he decided to visit Dragon Group to investigate what kind of mission Bai Feifei had taken on and just how dangerous it actually was!

After arriving at Dragon Group, Ling Feng first paid a visit to Uncle Liu before heading straight to the intelligence unit.

"Pull up the details of Bai Feifei's mission!" Ling Feng instructed the members of the intelligence unit.

The members of the intelligence unit naturally recognized Ling Feng as the youngest expert from the Demi-God Domain in Dragon Group, and they also knew he was the pupil of the new Dragon King.

"Elder Ling, Bai Feifei's information is not handled by our intelligence unit," one of the intelligence unit members said. "Her information is directly managed by the Dragon King!"

Ling Feng frowned. Long Guangyi was actually managing Bai Feifei's information directly. Could there be some trickery involved?

Ling Feng couldn't be bothered to think too much about it and went straight to see the Dragon King.

"My dear pupil, what brings you to pay respects to your master today?" Long Guangyi said with a smile on his face as he saw Ling Feng entering.

In front of Long Guangyi, Ling Feng really couldn't talk about any fondness for him. Although Uncle Liu had repeatedly made excuses for Long Guangyi's actions, Ling Feng still felt that what Long Guangyi did was too much. Now that he was the Dragon King, why wouldn't he give all the antidote to Uncle Liu?

"I want to know the details of Bai Feifei's mission!" Ling Feng got straight to the point.

Long Guangyi leaned back, tapped the documents next to him, and said, "You want to know Bai Feifei's information? It's all here! But why should I show you? Bai Feifei's matter isn't your responsibility, is it?"

Ling Feng looked at Long Guangyi's seemingly mocking expression, feeling his teeth itch with irritation. He had already witnessed Long Guangyi's insufferable demeanor more than half a month ago.

"So, what do you want me to do this time?" Ling Feng sighed. "What do I have to do for you to tell me this information?"

"My dear pupil, what kind of person do you take your master for?" Long Guangyi said displeasedly. "As my pupil, shouldn't you be solving problems for your master?"

Ling Feng gave Long Guangyi a blank stare. At his age, all his Kung Fu seemed to be in his face!

"Alright then, your pupil is willing to solve problems for the master," Ling Feng said helplessly. "Can you give me Bai Feifei's information now?"

"Hold on, not so fast," Long Guangyi said with a smile. "This issue is somewhat related to Bai Feifei's information. I had been worrying about who to send to deal with this problem, but I didn't expect my good pupil to come to me voluntarily. Good, very good indeed!"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes. He would have to be possessed to actually believe Long Guangyi's words! He was holding onto Bai Feifei's information precisely because he knew the relationship between herself and Ling Feng, right? Was he trying to use this to blackmail him?

However, he had to admit that as low as Long Guangyi's methods were, they were effective. The Middle East had always been a hotspot for conflict, and even demi-god level experts might fall. Naturally, Ling Feng was concerned about Bai Feifei's situation.
