29: Chapter 29 Class Reunion

At the office entrance, a young female employee wearing an intern badge was calling names from a list, her voice crisp and clear; she must be a new hire from yesterday.

HR Director Lu Zhiyi was sitting in the office, focused and rigorous as she reviewed resumes, with two subordinates working busily but orderly beside her.

Lin Yu did not go up to disturb them, just took a look from afar and nodded slightly.

Talent is the foundation; with interviewees coming in an endless stream, the company's framework would soon be fully established.

He turned and continued walking, feeling exceptionally comfortable listening to the low chatter from various departments along the way.

President Wang Ya had taken Financial Director Xia Wanxing and Lawyer Zhang to the land auction early in the morning to hustle for the 3,000-acre land project; Vice President Liu Qingyan remained in the company, studying dense data on the computer screen with Investment Director Shen Ruoyao, aiming to prepare for subsequent business layouts by targeting several potential security companies in the city.

The entire senior management team was fulfilling their duties, firing on all cylinders.

Lin Yu returned to his office leisurely, lay back on the comfortable sofa, and scrolled through his phone, looking extremely content.

It was right that they were busy!

Only when everyone was busy did he, the hands-off manager, appear wise. Once the company's personnel were fully staffed and on the right track, these executives wouldn't need to be hands-on with everything, and he could take the beauties out to have fun.

"Hehe..." Lin Yu couldn't help but chuckle, put down his phone, and called out to the door, "Tang Man."

"Boss." Tang Man immediately pushed the door open and entered.

"Order a cup of the best coffee for yourself, as well as for President Liu, HR Director Lu Zhiyi, and Investment Director Shen Ruoyao, and have them delivered to their respective workstations." Lin Yu said casually.

"Yes, I will arrange it immediately."

Not long after Tang Man left, Lin Yu's phone suddenly rang, with the name "Su Manqin" flashing on the screen.

He curled his lips slightly, answered the phone, and spoke in a natural and gentle tone: "Auntie."

"Xiao Yu, let me ask you, did you buy me a massage chair?" Su Manqin's voice came from the other end of the line, carrying a hint of helplessness and a touch of warmth.

Lin Yu admitted it frankly, his tone filled with just the right amount of consideration: "Yes. I noticed you rubbing your lower back often recently, and you looked tired. Mu Wan is small and doesn't have much strength, so she can't really help you massage it much. I just bought you a massage chair, and I've already asked the installation technician to come over and teach you how to operate it."

His words were thoughtful and thorough, without any deliberate flattery, yet every sentence struck a chord in Su Manqin's heart.

There was a moment of silence on the other end, followed by Su Manqin's soft sigh, filled with emotion: "You child, you are always so considerate..."

Ding! Intimacy with Su Manqin + 5.

Current intimacy: 40.

Lin Yu smiled, chatted with her for a few more sentences, and hung up the phone.

Time flew until five in the afternoon when a message suddenly popped up in Lin Yu's work group. It was sent by President Wang Ya, the text concise and direct, accompanied by a victory emoji.

"Three thousand acres of land, all secured! Victory.jpg."

A single short sentence instantly caused the entire company's senior management group to boil over.

Three thousand acres of land was of great significance; it was not only a leap in the company's scale but also a key step in establishing a firm foothold in this city!

A flash of satisfaction crossed Lin Yu's eyes, and he typed quickly on the screen, replying: "Well done! Thank you all for your hard work; I'll host a celebration for everyone tonight!"

As soon as the message was sent, his Green Bubble received a location sent by Fatty, which was for a private room 203 in a hotel, class reunion at 18:00, don't be late.

Lin Yu directly forwarded the location to Tang Man: "Book a spot at this hotel. We're having a company celebration tonight, you come along too."

This way, he could celebrate with the company's senior management and also attend the class reunion, handling both, feeling relaxed and free.

Lin Yu leaned back in his chair, watching the setting sun gradually sinking outside the window, the golden afterglow filling the office.

Lin Yu had waited in the company for less than half an hour when he saw Wang Ya walking in the lead with a sharp black suit skirt, exuding a powerful aura, followed by Financial Director Xia Wanxing and Lawyer Zhang to join him, along with three men—Lin Yu, Lawyer Zhang, and a steady, experienced full-time driver.

"Let's go, Tang Man has already booked the hotel to celebrate your triumphant return." Lin Yu said with a smile.

The group took separate cars and headed straight to the high-end hotel that Tang Man had booked in advance.

The private room was luxuriously decorated, with crystal lamps shining brightly, and the round table was already filled with delicacies. As soon as they sat down, Lin Yu personally opened a bottle of champagne, and the foam flowed slowly down the side of the glass.

"Congratulations to President Wang Ya and everyone. We have successfully secured the 3,000-acre land in the High-tech Zone. Everyone deserves credit." He raised his glass and stood up, his tone calm but hiding unquestionable confidence.

Everyone at the table stood up to toast, and the crisp sound of clinking glasses echoed in the room.

President Wang Ya took a small sip, her brows softening a bit: "I'm happy today, but I can't drink too much. I still have to rush to a charity fundraising event later and need to maintain my state."

"Understood, President Wang Ya, please feel free." Lin Yu responded with a smile.

Next came the clinking of glasses, chatting about projects, plans, and subsequent layouts. The atmosphere at the table was extremely enthusiastic, the beauties were laughing and talking, the fragrance was lingering, and the entire room was filled with high spirits.

After three rounds of drinks, Lin Yu's phone suddenly vibrated; it was a call from Fatty.

"Old Lin! Where the hell are you? The class reunion has been going on for a long time, and you're the only one missing!"

Lin Yu lowered his voice: "I'm at this hotel. The company just secured a piece of land, so we're celebrating. I'll be over soon."

"Okay! Hurry up! Zhou Li has asked about you several times!"

After hanging up, Lin Yu raised his glass and smiled at the beauties and everyone at the table: "Everyone, please enjoy yourselves. I'm going to make an appearance at a class reunion and will be back soon."

"Safe travels, President Lin."

"Come back early."

He nodded with a smile, turned, and pushed the door to leave.

The class reunion room was in the same building, but the quality was worlds apart.

As soon as he pushed the door open, the noisy smell of smoke and alcohol rushed towards him. Fatty saw him at a glance and immediately waved: "Old Lin! Over here!"

Zhou Li also smiled and nodded at him; although she was already married, her temperament remained gentle.

Just as Lin Yu walked to an empty seat and sat down, the class monitor Deng Ming walked over with a glass in his hand, his face gloomy, his tone filled with difficulty: "Lin Yu, the whole class is waiting for you. You're so late, it wouldn't be too much to punish yourself with three glasses, would it?"

Fatty exploded on the spot, slammed the table, and was about to stand up: "Who the hell do you think you are? Old Lin just finished discussing a big project and came over. Are you asking for trouble?"

Lin Yu reached out and pressed his arm, shaking his head slightly to signal him not to be impulsive.

"It's my fault for being late, sorry."

He picked up the white wine glass on the table, didn't say a word, poured three glasses in a row, and drank them down in one gulp. The spicy liquid slid down his throat, but his expression didn't change as he put down the glass: "Three glasses, I've finished."

This straightforward act actually left Deng Ming speechless for a moment.

As soon as Lin Yu sat down to pick up food, one of Deng Ming's lackeys next to him began to mutter sarcastically, his voice not loud or soft, just enough for the table to hear clearly:

"Tch, working at a Funeral Home, what are you bragging about? Is this hotel a place for someone with a salary of three or four thousand a month to entertain? Big project? I'm afraid the outfit you're wearing is a high-quality imitation from Pinduoduo, right?"

When the words fell, the table went quiet for a moment.

Lin Yu didn't even lift his eyelids; he couldn't even remember the person's name, just treating it like a fly buzzing by his ear.

Just a clown, not worth wasting emotions on.

But Fatty couldn't stand it.

"Pa—"

Fatty slammed the table hard, stood up, pointed at the lackey's nose, and went full force:

"What the hell are you? Are you worthy of discussing Old Lin? One of his meals is worth your year's salary, and you're here yapping? High imitation? Open your eyes and look clearly, you can't even afford the cheapest thing on him! If you have no ability, you can't stand to see others doing well? Can't you shut your stinking mouth while eating? If you dare to yap one more time, believe it or not, I'll throw you out of this window?"

One sentence left the lackey's face turning from green to white, unable to squeeze out a word for a long time.

Zhou Li couldn't watch it anymore and said lightly, her tone carrying a bit of mockery: "Some people, having never seen the world, think the whole world is like them. Keeping your own mouth shut is better than anything."

The lackey was completely wilted, burying his head in his rice, not daring to make a sound again.

A small disturbance was thus turned over.

Lin Yu's gaze swept across the table and landed on a girl eating quietly. The girl had a score of 83 for her looks, not top-tier, but her skin was fair, her brows and eyes gentle, looking like the type with an ordinary family background and a gentle personality. Among a group of noisy classmates, she appeared exceptionally clean. Such a girl is the easiest to become the target of the men at the table.

Fatty's gaze drifted over from time to time, and Deng Ming's eyes were stuck on her, unable to move.

Sure enough, after a while, Deng Ming leaned over and asked: "By the way, Chen Huihui, where are you working now?"

The girl said softly: "Just graduated from university, still looking for a job. I had an interview at Junlin Capital today, waiting for notification."

At the mention of "Junlin Capital", most people at the table looked blank, only the class monitor immediately straightened his chest, putting on a look of having wide connections.

"Junlin Capital, I know! The president is surnamed Wang, a woman, very capable, bought the tallest building in our Ze City for one or two hundred million! Let me tell you, I just heard that their company spent seven or eight hundred million today to take down a large piece of land!"

Deng Ming said, showing an expression of "I can help you": "It's very difficult to succeed just waiting for notification; the threshold for Junlin Capital is very high. How about this, I have some connections with the management inside, I will help you smooth things over, I guarantee you can be hired, maybe even be a small team leader directly."

The surrounding people immediately echoed and flattered:

"The monitor is amazing!"

"The treatment at Junlin Capital is very good, the salary is much higher than outside!"

"Girl, you are so lucky, you've hugged the monitor's thigh!"

The girl just smiled politely and didn't answer. Fatty was disgusted, spoke up again, and directly poked through Deng Ming's mask:

"Stop fooling the little girl here. Who are you familiar with at Junlin Capital? What's their name? Which department? What position? If you can say it, I'll lose!"

"Their company just took down a big project of 3,000 acres of land. Is that something someone like you can talk about? It's fine to fool those who haven't seen the world, but do you really think we're all stupid?"

Deng Ming's face turned red instantly, stammering and unable to say a name.

The girl wasn't stupid either; looking at Deng Ming's acne-ridden, oily face and the way he wanted to take advantage of her, she felt a wave of disgust, and the smile on her lips turned completely cold.

Lin Yu also spoke lightly at this time, his voice not loud, but every word was clear:

"Junlin Capital recruits people based on ability, not crooked relationships. Relying on bluffing to find a job, even if you get in, you won't last long."

Deng Ming lost all face and sat back in his seat with a gloomy face, the atmosphere at the table was awkward to the extreme.

Lin Yu didn't want to stay any longer, so he stood up: "I'm leaving first."

Fatty immediately followed: "I'm leaving too!"

Zhou Li sighed and stood up as well.

Chen Huihui hesitated for a moment, looked at the group of hypocritical flatterers at the table, and finally gritted her teeth and followed quickly.

Behind them, only a group of people were left flattering the class monitor: "Some people are really ungrateful, not knowing what's good for them."

Lin Yu walked to the door of the private room, paused, and slowly turned around.

He swept his calm gaze over everyone at the table, his voice not loud, but carrying a coldness that made people panic: "Classmates, I'll pay the bill today."

After a pause, he said word by word:

"But from now on, the classmate relationship ends here." After speaking, he turned and left without a trace of nostalgia.

There was dead silence in the private room, followed by disdainful sneers:

"What are you pretending for? Is paying the bill something great?"

"Exactly, it's better that he left, so we don't have to be annoyed looking at him."

Lin Yu took Fatty, Zhou Li, and Chen Huihui back to the company's high-end private room.

The moment the door of the private room was pushed open, Fatty and Chen Huihui were stunned on the spot, dumbfounded. They saw the room was brightly lit and filled with the fragrance of wine. The room was full of top-tier beauties with a beauty score of over 90. Although Wang Ya had already left, Tang Man and a group of female executives were chatting and laughing. Any one of them, in terms of temperament, appearance, and figure, could crush all the girls at the class reunion just now.

"Really... there is another round, I thought Old Lin was bragging. And it's this kind of top-tier venue." Fatty thought, wandering out of his mind.

"What are you stunned for? Come in and sit." Lin Yu beckoned with a smile.

The two woke up as if from a dream, walked in awkwardly, and after sitting down, their hearts were still racing, unable to believe everything they saw. Zhou Li knew most of the beauties, so she greeted them and joined in.

Fatty picked up his glass and took a sip of wine to calm his shock. Taking advantage of the lively atmosphere, he secretly leaned into Lin Yu's ear, lowered his voice, and looked gossip-filled:

"Old Lin... honestly confess, with so many beauties, my eyes are dazzled, which one is your girl?"

Lin Yu hooked his lips into a faint smile and replied with two words using his breath:

"All of them."

Fatty's pupils shrank, he gasped, and couldn't help but swear:

"Fuck..."

He silently decided in his heart—Chen Huihui was more suitable for him, he couldn't handle this kind of divine lineup.

And Chen Huihui, her gaze suddenly fixed, looked at a capable-looking beauty sitting not far away, and quickly stood up, greeting somewhat nervously:

"Hello, Director... I am Chen Huihui, who went to interview at Junlin Capital today."
