Chapter 53: The True Face of Lushan

  "Alright!" Secretary Zhang Xiaohua turned around and stretched out her hand: "Vice Minister Lin, please follow me!"

  Lin Zi was watching the woman behind the office desk with a strong desire to take off his shoes, remove his smelly socks and stuff them into her mouth to humiliate her. However, he maintained his composure and followed Secretary Zhang Xiaohua out of the room.

  After the office was left with only Qiao Yun, she casually pulled over a white paper, picked up her pen and drew a victorious smiley face on it, thinking to herself: let's see if you'll have time to flirt with girls in the future!

  After indulging in a simple mood, she quickly erased that victorious smile, destroying the evidence. She crumpled up the tainted white paper and threw it into the trash can...

  After messing around with General Manager's Secretary Zhang Xiaohua for a while, Lin Zilei wandered back to the ground floor lobby with that bunch of car keys.

  "Minister Lin!" Duan Jiye came over with a smile, saying: "With Minister Lin personally taking charge, it's a different story. I've already received the notification from the Organization Department, and the general manager has personally approved the application report."

  "It's nothing!" Lin Zixian waved his hand with a pleased smile.

  Qian Ligang and a security guard named Li Yong slowly approached with big smiles on their faces. They were the two team leaders promoted in the application report, apparently already knowing that their appointments had been approved, so they came to thank Deputy Director Lin with gratitude.

  "You two must do a good job! For your sake, I've exhausted my words in front of the chairman and general manager, and finally got the general manager to personally approve it. Now you're both on the hook with the chairman and general manager, don't make me lose face." Lin Zixian said very seriously.

  Duan Jiye was also smiling and echoing beside him, but his smile seemed a bit unnatural. When he received the notification from the Minister of Organization earlier, the Minister of Organization mentioned with deep meaning, Director Duan, your Deputy Director Lin is quite tolerant! He can actually make the general manager change his own decision, which has never happened in the company before!

  This remark made Duan Jiye feel uncomfortable no matter how he listened to it, and the implication seemed to be that the report submitted by the Minister was rejected, but after the Deputy Minister came back and stirred up a fuss, it was passed. You are really capable of being a minister.

  Actually, he thought too much. It was just that when Ning Lan handed the report to the Minister of Organization, the woman deliberately mentioned that it was Deputy Minister Lin's achievement, which made the Minister of Organization feel a little emotional.

  "Really, really!" The two team leaders thanked him profusely. Qian Ligang hesitated for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Deputy Director Lin, it's like this, to thank Deputy Director Lin, Li Yong and I were thinking of inviting Deputy Director Lin out for a simple dinner tonight, would Deputy Director Lin be willing to grant us the honor?"

  "It's not that I don't want to give you face, it's just that I don't know if I'll be free tonight." Lin Zi swung the car keys in his hand and said helplessly: "Damn! From today on, I'll be serving as Qiao Yun's driver, and I have to send her home after work."

  "Ah!" The three of them were shocked at the same time, and they couldn't help but feel envious when they saw Lin Zixian's very unwilling expression. They couldn't help but laugh bitterly - it's really true that some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouth! How many people dream of being the driver for the general manager? And yet you're not even happy about it?! Not to mention the good treatment, but she's also the number one beauty in Donghai! How many people want to get close to her but don't have the chance? Haven't you seen that even the president of Shengqing Group is eager to please her?!

  "Never mind, I still have things to do. You guys treat me to lunch today, just a casual work meal is fine." Lin Zixian adjusted his big hat and walked away with a swagger.

  Three people looked at his back and sighed, also working in a company, looking at how others lived their lives.

  It wasn't long before the news that Deputy Director Lin would also serve as the chairman's driver spread like wildfire within the company. The speed at which this kind of thing spreads is simply faster than the internet, especially when it comes to something involving Deputy Director Lin. Every single person who heard the news would say to their colleagues as soon as they saw them: "Hey! Have you heard...?"

  Liu Yanzi enjoys the working atmosphere of the large company, Ming Hua Group. High salary is one reason, and her work ability can be fully utilized, unlike in some small companies where there are too many restrictions.

  Don't look at her usual casual and overbearing appearance, it's also a manifestation of strong competitiveness. Her work ability is unquestionable, otherwise she wouldn't be able to switch to the famous Flower Group so smoothly.

  After finishing the work on hand, she looked around at her colleagues who were still working hard, stretched her waist and walked to the coffee machine to pour a cup of hot coffee, slowly walked to the public rest area, leaned against the floor-to-ceiling glass window and savored it slowly, overlooking the bustling city from the high-rise building.

  Not long after, her gossip colleague rushed in with a stack of documents, dropped them on the table, took off her high heels and slumped down, saying: "I'm exhausted from running around!"

  Liu Yanzi walked over with a smile and sat down beside her, wrinkling her nose and saying: "Your feet really stink!"

  The colleague rolled his eyes and said: "I was going to tell you the latest news, but since you think my feet stink, I won't say it now."

  "Let's have lunch together at noon." Liu Yanzi immediately set out the condition.

  "It's a done deal!" Eight Trigrams colleague immediately put on high heels, full of spirit: "I got the latest news from the Organization Department, Lin Deputy Director from the Security Department has returned to work after his vacation. As soon as he went to work, he saw that the two team leader appointment application reports submitted by the Security Department were rejected by the General Manager. He immediately took the application report and found the Chairman of the Board and the General Manager, forcing the General Manager to sign and approve it in person. Isn't that awesome?"

  Liu Yanzhi was secretly shocked, this Deputy Minister Lin was indeed too powerful. She paused for a moment and asked: "How old is Deputy Minister Lin? Is he married?" She thought that someone like him could be included in the range of golden sons-in-law, and if the conditions were right, she might as well try to hook him.

  "Add two chicken wings and a glass of iced Coke to the working lunch, and I'll throw in a piece of latest gossip." The gossipy colleague also set out her conditions.

  Liu Yanzi nodded and said: "Deal!"

  "This Vice Minister Lin doesn't seem to have left any detailed records in the company, looks like he's under thirty years old, possibly unmarried. Don't be surprised, the additional news is also about him, heard from the lobby receptionist that Vice Minister Lin will start serving as General Manager Qiao Yun's driver from today."

  "The transaction failed, I want to know what you didn't tell me, minus a cup of ice Coke."

  "Vice Minister Lin may come to the company cafeteria for lunch! I can point out who Vice Minister Lin is."

  "Alright! Deal!"

  At noon, Liu Yanzi and her colleague Ba Jia were already waiting at the restaurant. They sipped their cola and glanced around restlessly as groups of people came in, including some wearing security uniforms. From time to time, Liu Yanzi asked in a low voice, "Has he arrived?"

  "What's the rush? I'll tell you when I arrive."

  Two people were whispering to each other, and a man who had finished his meal saw Liu Mei and his eyes lit up, quickly walking over and sitting across from Liu Yanzi, starting to chat her up.

  Liu Yanzhi was speechless, but she had just joined the company and didn't know much about the other person's background. She couldn't give them a cold shoulder, so she forced a smile and made small talk, while occasionally glancing at the restaurant entrance.

  Just before lunchtime, Liu Yanzi's long-awaited Deputy Minister Lin finally made a stunning appearance.

  Four people wearing security uniforms came in one after another, with Duan Jiye and Lin Zixian lined up in front, and Qian Ligang and Li Yong following behind.

  Among the staff entering and leaving the restaurant were some department heads, who all greeted them after seeing the two: "Director Duan, Deputy Director Lin."

  When the staff in the restaurant heard the words "Deputy Director Lin", most of them immediately turned their heads to look, and the scene was like a superstar's grand entrance with everyone watching.

  After entering the dining hall, Qian Ligang quickly asked the two leaders what they wanted to eat. Duan Jiye said it didn't matter, and Lin Zixian said no meat was not happy. Qian Ligang and Li Yong quickly ran off, and the two deputy ministers also found a position to sit down, taking off their big hats and putting them aside.

  The gossip woman quickly pointed at Lin Zixian and said in a low voice: "He is Deputy Minister Lin."

  Liu Yanzi, who was holding a Coca-Cola, was pondering how the guy wearing a big hat looked somewhat familiar. When Lin Zixian took off his big hat, he suddenly revealed his true face. Liu Yanzi's eyes widened, and with a "pfft" sound, the Coca-Cola in her mouth sprayed directly onto the face of the man opposite her.

  The man was taken aback, Liu Yanzi saw that she had caused trouble and quickly took out a tissue to help him wipe it off, repeatedly apologizing. The man wanted to maintain his composure in front of the beauty! He shook his head very awkwardly and said it was okay.

  A commotion broke out over here, naturally attracting everyone's attention.

  Lin Zixian glanced over and upon seeing Liu Yanzi, immediately smiled and nodded, as if saying, we'll be colleagues from now on.

  "Yanzi, Yanzi, Deputy Director Lin is smiling at me!" The gossip girl said tightly hugging her cola.

  "Hey! Can't you see I'm waving at him?" Liu Yanzi said, pinching her waist.

  When he turned back to look again, he found that Deputy Director Lin was already chatting and laughing with the person opposite him.

  Liu Yanzi's mind flashed back to that day when Vice Minister Lin added fuel to the fire, describing how evil Vice Minister Lin was. Suddenly, she buried her head in shame and muttered to herself, "Oh my god! So the legendary Vice Minister Lin has been by my side all along!" Everyone else had acknowledged it, but she still didn't believe it, stupid! Why did he say he was an unemployed vagrant early that morning?

  As soon as she thought of Vice Minister Lin actively inviting her to hitch a ride that morning, but was rejected by herself, Liu Yanzi's intestines were regretful, and she missed an opportunity to show off in style. Would he be angry with her?

  She now finds that riding the old-fashioned bicycle to work is not bad at all, it depends on who rides the bike. If it's an unemployed vagrant Lin Zilei, then it won't do, but if it's Deputy Director Lin, how can you miss it?

  Soon, Qian Ligang and Li Yong brought the dishes over, and the four of them sat down together just as they were about to start eating. The dining hall suddenly fell silent, and an even more important figure appeared - General Manager Qiao Yun had arrived.

  Qiao Yun took the tray with dishes and scanned the room, seeing Lin Zilei was free, she walked to the seat next to them. The chosen position was also very deliberate, just right, back to back with Deputy Director Lin...
