Chapter Twelve: Differences in Outlook

  Nai Qiu apologized: "I'm sorry, I've caused you so much trouble."

  Li Fudao said: "This matter can't be blamed on you at all, it's my fault."

  Yu Mingdao said: "I'm actually very happy, at least Naiqiu didn't say that Li Fu was making trouble for no reason."

  Nai Qiu said helplessly: "Okay, sorry little Yu colleague, I apologize for my attitude just now."

  Li Fu somewhat understood: "It's easy for people of the same status to apologize, and it's also easy for people of lower status to apologize to those of higher status. However, requiring people of higher status to apologize to those of lower status would damage their dignity and prestige."

  "Yes, China is like this, get used to it." Yu Ming nodded.

  Four people chatted and walked back to the office. Du Qingqing said: "Yu Ming, how did you find the ring."

  "Can't say," Yu Ming shook his head.

  Yu Ming was rummaging through the trash can when he saw a small ticket, which belonged to a supermarket. The time on it was 11:45, proving that the deputy manager had left the company by 11:30. Yu Ming looked at the deputy manager's ring finger and found that the mark was not obvious, meaning she hadn't worn the ring for a long time. Then Yu Ming checked the deputy manager's phone and saw two good numbers, which should be external business service institutions if he wasn't mistaken. Yu Ming dialed the number and it turned out to be a hotel. He asked if they had found a ring.

  A married man or woman, unless required by work or dissatisfied with their current spouse, will generally continue to wear their wedding ring. Unless, that is, they are having an affair. When having an affair, they take off the ring and put it in their pocket or bag, and when returning home, they put the ring back on. So, Yu Ming suspected that the deputy manager was having an affair. After investigating, it was found that the deputy manager had called a hotel before leaving work, which basically confirmed Yu Ming's speculation. Yu Ming used the name of Du Shi International to have someone from the hotel bring the ring to the company entrance.

  There were many possibilities, but one phone call made the greatest possibility a reality.

  Why didn't Na Yingming explain? Because someone who has done something wrong will resent the person who exposed their wrongdoing, even if they change for the better because of it. Moreover, this kind of extramarital affair is easy to become office gossip.

  Yu Ming still understands how to be human.

  Yu Ming didn't say anything, Li Fu had no choice. Du Qingqing used writing a report as an excuse, but Yu Ming still didn't open up. Ni Qiu took advantage of Yu Ming going to the water room and said: "Yu Ming, this is related to me after all, can you secretly tell me?"

  "No."

  "My mouth is very strict."

  "I won't hear about it from you then."

  "You're a person with no sense at all." Ni Qiu shook her head and left, turning back to say: "Consider it as me owing you one favor."

  "Hehe." Yu Ming waved his hand nonchalantly.

  At 4:50, the administrative secretary called: "Mr. Du can be seen now."

  Yu Ming arrived at the 33rd floor for the first time, and as soon as he got out of the elevator, he was stopped and asked who he was looking for, if he had an appointment, etc. This is where the board members, CEO, vice presidents, and other executives have their offices. There are security guards and cleaning staff on standby 24/7. This is the main hub of Du Shi International, not only its headquarters but also related to business and industries in various countries.

  The presidential suite has a large room with a retractable roof. There is a simple golf putting machine in the hall position. Leather sofa, large screen plasma TV...

  The general manager's secretary sat behind the office desk in the hall, she had already received a call from the receptionist at the door, and when she saw Yu Ming, she stood up and said: "Yu Ming, please come this way."

  Walking to the left side of the room door, the secretary said: "Please wait a moment." Knocking on the door and entering, he said: "Mr. Du, Yu Ming has arrived."

  "Please come in."

  "Yes!" The secretary went out and said to Ming Dao: "You can go in now." As soon as Ming entered, she closed the door behind him.

  The general manager's office is a suite, with several European noble swords hanging on the wall of the main hall. A tailor is taking Mr. Du's measurements. In the past, tailoring was a low-end manual job, but now it is a profession that only allows non-privileged people to enter.

  Mr. Du looked at Ming and said, "A suit, leather shoes, a belt, and a watch are the four pieces of a man's set. From these four pieces, you can see a person's taste and temperament. Among all investments, investing in personal image is the most important."

  He looked down at his travel shoes, T-shirt and empty wrist. The belt was there, but it was only worth thirty-two yuan. Was he scolding himself?

  "Sit down, what can I get you?" Mr. Du said: "I have everything here." He liked to have a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere with his subordinates.

  "Coca-Cola, thank you."

  Mr. Du was stunned for three seconds, walked to the office desk and pressed the phone: "Trouble you, help me buy a bottle of Coke." In this era, the local tyrants are afraid of the local turtles. There is bourbon, Scottish whisky, vodka, brandy, wine, mineral water, milk, ice cream, black tea, green tea, cocoa, coffee... Want to drink Coke?

  "No need, no need, whatever is available is fine. Tap water is okay too."

  Mr. Du looked at Yu Ming: "You are the first person to despise me with such euphemistic words."

  "No, Mr. Du, I don't drink anything, really, it's not necessary."

  Mr. Du stared at Yu Ming and said into the phone: "Xiao Hong, send two bottles of Coke, no, send ten bottles of Coke to Xingxing Investigation Company."

  What does it mean? Yu Ming rarely comes into contact with such high-end rich people, mostly the nouveau riche type. He didn't understand why Mr. Du was laughing earlier. Now he doesn't understand why Mr. Du is giving him ten cases of Coca-Cola.

  "You did a great job today." Mr. Du shifted the topic, saying: "What a coincidence, I'd rather do this, let me give you a handmade suit as a reward."

  Gave Coke and gave a suit. Yu Ming shook his head: "A suit, what's the point?"

  "Wear." Mr. Du felt for the first time that his answer was very stupid.

  "But I don't have leather shoes." Yu Ming looked down at his travel shoes.

  Mr. Du was stunned for two seconds before pointing with his finger: "I'll give you a pair of leather shoes again."

  "Mr. Du, I really can't make use of it. I don't even have a dress shirt, wearing a T-shirt with a suit..."

  Mr. Du looked at the tailor and said, "What does he want to do?"

  The tailor smiled and didn't answer. Mr. Du said, "Alright, I'll give you the whole set: leather shoes, suit, belt, watch - all four pieces for men, are you satisfied?"

  Yu Ming was on the verge of tears: "Mr. Du, I'm very grateful for your kindness, but I really can't accept it."

  "Why?"

  "Suits of this grade cannot be washed with water, but dry cleaned..."

  "Are you here to bully the wealthy? Do I also need to give you a dry cleaning store's annual card? Or do you also want me to help you buy high-end shoe polish?"

  Ming felt a bit embarrassed and said: "So Mr. Du, really don't bother anymore. I don't want the cola either."

  Upon hearing this, Mr. Du took a deep breath, poured himself a glass of whiskey from the cabinet and downed it in one gulp. "I've been defeated," he said, turning around. "Well... nothing else to say, you can leave now."

  Huh? Yu Ming Jue De and the monk can't reach his head. Is this person sick? Could it be true what a certain philosopher said, that all accomplished people have mental illness?
