Chapter 089 Secretary to Driver
"That's just how realistic this world is; society is all about strength. Those words still ring in my ears!"
As Zheng Chengyi typed, he thought back to a few days ago when Song Xueyao called Lin Fan a good-for-nothing in front of everyone and said she would torture him into confessing. But now she was treating Lin Fan like an honored guest.
It's ironic that Song Xueyao spouted nonsense about the realities of the world and how society is ruled by strength, only to be crushed by herself in the end.
Thinking of this, Zheng Chengyi smiled and said, "Don't look down on anyone. Maybe they're just being modest!"
These words were like sharp swords, each one piercing Song Xueyao's heart. Song Xueyao was furious, but there was nothing she could do.
Su Yulin was completely confused, but Lin Fan was perfectly clear-headed, and his predictions were basically in line with the facts.
Lin Fan smiled with relief. The matter was over, and Song Xueyao wouldn't dare to act recklessly anymore. Besides, she still had some use to her. Su Yulin worked here, and Song Xueyao could still help her out.
Protect this sister-in-law from being bullied.
Lin Fan looked at Zheng Chengyi and thought to himself that this young man was quite interesting and must be a good person. He was neither arrogant nor humble, and he was conscientious in his duties.
In the modern world, human development follows certain patterns: in the short term, it depends on opportunities; in the medium term, it depends on ability; and in the long term, it depends on character.
One's background determines one's starting point, ability determines how fast one can go, and character determines how far one can go. Zheng Chengyi's future is limitless!
Lin Fan glanced at Song Xueyao again and smiled, "What's past is past. Besides, we didn't offend anyone before. Didn't you say that we should be open-minded?"
Lin Fan knew that, whether in the real world or another world, things were not simply black and white, right or wrong, and people were not simply good or evil, friend or foe. Nothing in this world is absolute; everything is in a constant cycle of change.
True strength lies not in judging people and things by 'right' and 'wrong,' but in constantly balancing this 'degree.' Only by grasping the 'degree' well can one avoid disrupting the overall situation.
To test a person's ability, we must see if they can simultaneously hold two opposing ideas in their mind and still maintain normal functioning.
There are no absolute enemies; it all depends on how you manage everything.
Is it through brute force or through cunning?
Of course, Lin Fan possesses both.
Hearing Lin Fan say this, Song Xueyao breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder Lin Fan could hold a senior position in Shancheng Group. He was magnanimous!
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Lin. I will do my best in the future!" Song Xueyao said, glancing at Su Yulin.
Lin Fan nodded. Song Xueyao was a smart woman; she knew what he wanted her to do.
"Alright! That's settled then, we'll head back now." Lin Fan said with a smile, finally uttering these words at the perfect moment!
"Let's have lunch together in our cafeteria. Please don't mind, we'll just have something simple," Song Xueyao said, thinking that Lin Fan would definitely not care about such a banquet, so it would be better to have a simple meal in the cafeteria, which would be more conducive to building a closer relationship.
Before Lin Fan could refuse, Su Yulin interjected, "Thank you so much! I'm really hungry!"
Su Yulin was completely confused by what she had just heard, and thought to herself, "Finally, I can say something!"
Song Xueyao and Su Yulin looked at Lin Fan expectantly at the same time. Lin Fan sighed helplessly and said, "Then I'll accept your offer!"
Interactive Entertainment Group, cafeteria.
It was already 1 p.m., and the employees' lunch break had passed, making the large canteen seem particularly deserted.
There were very few dishes left at each window, and of course, the remaining dishes were all cold, so it wouldn't be appropriate to treat them to a simple meal.
"Have the chef cook a few side dishes, and remember to order a large portion of braised pork ribs," Song Xueyao said to the aunt at the window.
Lin Fan sighed. Why did they have to cook it fresh every time? He didn't know how long that would take.
"I highly recommend you try this braised pork ribs. It's absolutely amazing. Some people even come to our company specifically to eat this dish," Song Xueyao said proudly.
Su Yulin nodded expectantly, while Lin Fan remained surprisingly calm.
“This dish is the specialty of one of our company’s chefs. Only one pot can be made at a time, and our company rules stipulate that each person can only have one piece of rib per meal.” Song Xueyao shook her head with a smile and added, “Even so, only a very few people can taste this delicacy every day.”
"Brother-in-law, we're in for a treat!" Su Yulin actually swallowed hard, completely lacking any self-respect.
"You're in luck," Lin Fan replied awkwardly.
Lin Fan had no appetite for braised pork ribs; all he wanted to do was go home, even if it was just to eat braised pork ribs made by Su Ruowei.
"I need a serving of braised pork ribs, right now, I'm in a hurry!"
A deep voice came from behind. Turning around, I saw a tall and imposing man.
The man had a square face, was strong and powerful, and looked extremely fierce.
"Who should we serve first?" the cafeteria lady asked hesitantly.
"Give it to me first!" Song Xueyao and the man said in unison.
"Lian Jiulong, do you even know what 'first come, first served' means?" Song Xueyao turned around and looked at the man with a displeased expression.
"Hey, isn't this the Secretary-General? You're eating in the cafeteria again?" Lian Jiulong quickly walked up behind Song Xueyao.
Even the cafeteria aunties standing inside the window took a few steps back. Everyone in the entire Interactive Entertainment Group knew that Liu Degang's driver, Lian Jiulong, and Secretary-General Song Xueyao didn't get along.
Both Lian Jiulong and Song Xueyao joined the company five years ago and have both thrived, mastering many of the company's core secrets. Song Xueyao is in charge of internal affairs, while Lian Jiulong is in charge of external affairs. Lian Jiulong also serves as Liu Deguang's bodyguard.
Neither of them would yield to the other. Because they both frequently interacted with the boss, they would always criticize each other in front of Liu Deguang, invariably picking on each other's minor faults, but Liu Deguang would just laugh it off.
With this relationship in place, neither Song Xueyao nor Lian Jiulong dared to act rashly, much less embezzle public property.
But the two men knew that this was Liu Deguang's way of employing people.
Similarly, the two were even more aware that as long as they eliminated each other, they could control the entire entertainment group.
"Lian Jiulong, I have guests here, you'll have to wait!" Song Xueyao rolled her eyes at Lian Jiulong, then said to the cafeteria lady, "Make our food first, the guests are more important."
"Okay!" The aunt was about to contact the kitchen when Lian Jiulong stopped her.
"Wait a minute!" Lian Jiulong shouted, then said to Song Xueyao, "I don't care what kind of guest you are. You're using your position to bring your friends to the cafeteria to freeload? You've got some skills."
"You'd better watch your words, this is..." Song Xueyao said, then remembered that Su Yulin was also there. She had originally wanted to use the name of the Shancheng Group to scare Lian Jiulong, but Lin Fan wanted to keep it a secret.
"It's alright, let him have it. He can just eat a little. We can have ribs next time," Lin Fan said, thinking to himself that he shouldn't cause any more trouble and should hurry up and finish eating before going home!
"Look how pragmatic your friend is!" Lian Jiulong said, and then patted Lin Fan's shoulder with his big hand.
