Chapter 018 Let’s Meet at My Place Tonight
Hospital Visit?
“No need, really no need, my cousin will be fine after a couple days of rest.” Zhang Kaibin waved his hands repeatedly. His mistress “cousin” wasn’t lying in a hospital, but was at home stabbing pillows with a knife!
“Then I’ll visit her at home, hoping to ease some of her trauma.” Lin Fuzhang rubbed his teacup, then changed the subject and asked: “By the way, who is that lawless person who shocked Manager Zhang’s cousin unconscious?”
“I heard he’s a new employee named Su Rui.” Zhang Kaibin sneered. Judging from Lin Fuzhang’s attitude, that damned Su Rui would definitely be fired!
After he’s kicked out of Bikang in disgrace, he would find someone to teach him a harsh lesson! At least in Ninghai, he knew plenty of people in both legitimate and underground circles!
After dealing with Su Rui, that Yin Xiumei would be even more devoted to him! He heard she had a sister who was also extremely beautiful. Someday he would have both sisters – that would be the ultimate pleasure! Thinking about this, Zhang Kaibin couldn’t help but swallow, already calculating when he could take Yin Xiumei’s sister out for dinner!
However, what Zhang Kaibin didn’t expect was that after hearing the name “Su Rui,” Lin Fuzhang’s expression instantly became extremely interesting!
A look of sudden realization mixed with struggle, complexity, and even a hint of caution!
The high-ranking chairman of Bikang Group actually showing such an expression! This couldn’t help but make Zhang Kaibin feel shocked and surprised!
“Su Rui? Manager Zhang, are you certain the person who shocked Ms. Yin Xiumei unconscious is called Su Rui?” Lin Fuzhang asked with apparent difficulty, as if he were choking on food.
Zhang Kaibin immediately felt a sense of unease rising within him, but he sneered: “Yes, it’s definitely Su Rui. What’s wrong? Am I putting Chairman Lin in a difficult position?”
“Ah!” Lin Fuzhang smiled bitterly and let out a long sigh!
The smile on Zhang Kaibin’s face grew colder as he said: “Chairman Lin, I’m not unreasonable. If I’m truly putting you in a difficult position, then let’s just pretend I never came today.”
With that, Zhang Kaibin stood up as if to leave.
“Manager Zhang, please let me explain.” Lin Fuzhang pressed his hand on Zhang Kaibin’s, saying: “It’s not that I don’t respect you, but this situation is truly special. If it were anyone else, I would fire them without hesitation and make sure police pursued criminal charges, but this Su Rui is truly different!”
Of course, Zhang Kaibin had no real intention of leaving; he was just putting on an act, waiting for Lin Fuzhang to stop him!
“Oh? From Chairman Lin’s tone, could it be that this Su Rui has an extraordinary identity?” Zhang Kaibin said while eyeing Lin Fuzhang suspiciously, as if trying to determine whether he was pretending.
Even if the other party had an extraordinary identity, so what? He was the deputy director of Ninghai’s Commerce Bureau. In this territory, who would dare not give him face? A young man who had just arrived, no matter how powerful, could he really compare to himself?
However, Lin Fuzhang had been navigating the business world for many years, so how could Zhang Kaibin see through him? That would be too weak.
“Yes, Manager Zhang, you’re absolutely right,” Lin Fuzhang paused, then said: “This Su Rui’s true identity is indeed extraordinary!”
“Is that so? Then please, Chairman Lin, tell me what new dragon has crossed the river into Ninghai.” By now, Zhang Kaibin finally believed Lin Fuzhang was acting, clearly trying to bluff him, so his tone became quite unfriendly.
Taking in Zhang Kaibin’s expression, Lin Fuzhang shook his head, naturally understanding what the deputy director was thinking.
Lin Fuzhang moved closer and lowered his voice: “Su Rui is the grandson of that lord from the capital!”
Lin Fuzhang’s voice was very soft, but it made Zhang Kaibin’s whole body tremble!
“The capital, which lord?” Zhang Kaibin understood that compared to Ninghai, the situation in China’s capital was much more complex. That place was full of important figures, involving political struggles far beyond his imagination! If Su Rui really was the grandson of some big shot from the capital, then this person was truly someone he couldn’t afford to offend!
“Manager Zhang, how can you be so confused? Think about it, among those lords in the capital, who has the surname Su?” Lin Fuzhang continued to guide him.
“Could you mean…” Zhang Kaibin’s face was filled with shock; he was genuinely stunned by such an identity!
Before Zhang Kaibin could finish, Lin Fuzhang nodded: “That’s right, it’s him.”
“If Su Rui really is that lord’s grandson, then I can only blame myself for this misfortune.” Zhang Kaibin never expected that rushing over here to demand justice would lead to such an outcome – it was truly unexpected.
“But Chairman Lin, how can you prove he’s that lord’s grandson? I can’t go back to my cousin with nothing.”
“Su Rui is indeed sent by that lord to gain experience at Bikang Group. Otherwise, why would I personally invite him to dinner last night? It was at the Jun Lan Hotel, many people saw it. If Manager Zhang doesn’t believe me, you can easily find out.” Lin Fuzhang stated firmly.
Zhang Kaibin was shocked. He couldn’t immediately verify the truth, but since Lin Fuzhang spoke this way, it couldn’t be baseless!
Now he felt somewhat afraid. What kind of connections did Lin Fuzhang have to be associated with that lord from the capital? He had rushed over here to demand justice, and Lin Fuzhang had still spoken to him kindly. If Lin Fuzhang truly had connections with that lord, he had seriously offended him!
That lord was someone who could determine his fate with a single word!
If he had known the outcome would be like this, Zhang Kaibin wouldn’t have dared to come to Bikang demanding justice even if he had to divorce Yin Xiumei! Wasn’t that just asking for trouble?
He quickly analyzed the situation in his mind and finally confirmed that Lin Fuzhang was telling the truth.
If Su Rui were just a small employee, Lin Fuzhang would have no reason to risk telling such a big lie – he had no motive to do so. But since he did, it was enough to prove that Su Rui’s status was truly extraordinary!
If he was that lord’s grandson, then Yin Xiumei would have to swallow her pride and stay away from Su Rui forever!
Because that lord was truly someone they couldn’t afford to offend! They should be trying to curry favor, not demanding justice – did they have a death wish?
Understanding all this, Zhang Kaibin realized his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
“Well, Chairman Lin, I came today just to learn about my cousin’s situation, with no intention of demanding justice from Su Rui. I hope you understand.” Zhang Kaibin smiled awkwardly.
“Of course, of course. Actually, this is partly due to my management failure, and I hope Manager Zhang can understand.” Lin Fuzhang smiled: “How about this, Manager Zhang, I’ll host a dinner at Jun Lan Kaibin tonight as an apology. We’ll drink until we’re satisfied, how about that?”
Zhang Kaibin waved his hands repeatedly: “How could I allow that? You’re too kind, Chairman Lin. I just remembered I have unfinished business at my office, so I must leave now. I’ll treat you to dinner another day.”
With that, Zhang Kaibin hurriedly turned to leave, not forgetting to wipe his sweat.
Watching Zhang Kaibin close the door behind him, Lin Fuzhang sneered twice, his eyes flashing with contempt: “What do you think you are, daring to be so presumptuous in front of me.”
However, thinking about the lie he had just told, Lin Fuzhang couldn’t help but smile bitterly. It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea – surely that lord from the capital wouldn’t know he was using his name like this!
This Su Rui was really causing him trouble. He’d just joined the company and already shocked Yin Xiumei unconscious. If something serious happened to that woman, how would he clean up the mess?
Lin Fuzhang anxiously rubbed his temples.
Before Su Rui could find Financial Vice President Zhou Anke for signatures, it was already time to leave work.
Since he had signed a huge 20-million contract, everyone in Group One was clamoring for him to treat them to dinner. Su Rui naturally agreed, though that Chen Leigan who had boldly downed a cup of hot phlegm was nowhere to be seen.
Just as everyone was preparing to head to a restaurant to feast at Su Rui’s expense, the door to the president’s office opened, and Lin Aoxue, dressed in a white business suit, walked out from the end of the corridor.
When she appeared, the office hall seemed to bloom with a snow lotus – cold and pure white, instantly illuminating everyone’s eyes!
Lin Aoxue had always been the most beautiful sight in the entire Bikang Group!
At that moment, everyone quieted down. All movements and voices stopped – a goddess’s influence was absolutely not to be underestimated!
Everyone’s gaze focused on Lin Aoxue as she walked step by step toward Su Rui.
Many male colleagues swallowed hard. This Su Rui was too lucky, having the opportunity to interact with the president at such close proximity! This was what so many dreamed of!
Since most of the marketing department’s business staff had been out the previous evening, only a few people including Cao Tianping had witnessed Lin Fuzhang personally inviting Su Rui to dinner. These people were all wondering: yesterday the chairman invited him, today the president approaches him – what kind of identity does this Su Rui have?
Perhaps he was a hidden power in the marketing department! Those Yin Xiumei and Chen Leigan dared to cause trouble with him – their fate would surely be miserable!
“Where are you going?” Lin Aoxue frowned slightly and asked.
Su Rui smiled awkwardly: “Well, since I’m new here, I was planning to treat colleagues to dinner, get together, improve relationships…”
Lin Aoxue’s frown deepened: “Have you forgotten what you promised me?”
Everyone around was surprised. When had they ever seen the ice president Lin Aoxue speak to a subordinate in such a tone?
But the surprising events were just beginning!
“What did I promise you?” Su Rui asked, while thinking to himself: “This girl looks so beautiful even when frowning – truly the finest of the finest!”
“Didn’t you agree to come to my home tonight?” Lin Aoxue said coldly.
