183: Uncle Wang, come to my company!
It perfectly solved all problems.
It gave the young man named Lin Yu an astonishing resume, and it spared the Fangs Squad from any risk of violating regulations.
It was just that... deep down, the integrity and pride of a soldier still made him feel a little uneasy.
This was, after all, a deception.
“Then… do we still need to test the entry threshold?” Qin Zhan finally asked.
“Test! Of course, we have to test it!” Zhong Huai readily agreed, “We have to put on a full show. This threshold is the best excuse for us to filter out those who just want to watch the excitement.”
“Don’t worry, leave it to me. I’ll make sure he passes easily, while still making our ‘Fangs’ seem unreachably high-threshold.”
Qin Zhan looked at his quick-witted teammate and let out a long sigh.
If he had to handle these matters himself, he probably wouldn't be able to come up with such a comprehensive plan even if he racked his brain.
He reached out and heavily patted Zhong Huai’s shoulder.
“Fourth Brother, you’ve worked hard.”
At this moment, a deep sense of powerlessness emanated from this iron-blooded captain.
If it weren’t for Zhong Huai, he really wouldn’t know how to report to his teacher… Achoo!
A loud sneeze suddenly echoed in the magnificent first-floor lobby of the Heavenly Aegis Building.
The female receptionist, who was leaning idly against the front desk, secretly glancing at Lin Yu from the corner of her eye, was startled by it.
How strange.
Lin Yu rubbed his nose, also feeling a bit inexplicable.
With his current physique, let alone catching a cold, even if he slept in an Arctic ice cave, it would be impossible for him to sneeze.
Is someone talking about me behind my back?
This absurd thought flashed through his mind, and then he found it amusing.
There were too many people who could curse him; if he sneezed every time, he wouldn’t have to do anything today, just standing here sneezing would be enough.
The female receptionist’s gaze became even more unrestrained.
She looked at Lin Yu’s ordinary casual wear, then at his overly young face, and her guess became even more certain.
This young man, nine times out of ten, was Director Wang’s illegitimate son!
Otherwise? How could an ordinary young man directly address Director Wang Han by name and dare to show up at his door?
Looking at his calm and composed demeanor, he was clearly fearless.
This kind of confidence couldn’t be faked.
She had worked here for many years and had seen too many people trying to curry favor with the powerful; those people always had a hint of flattery and nervousness on their faces.
But this young man named Lin Yu, did not.
He just stood there calmly, as if waiting for an ordinary friend, not a business magnate who controlled a multi-billion dollar group.
Ding.
A crisp notification sound interrupted her wild thoughts.
The door of the VIP exclusive elevator not far away slowly slid open.
A figure almost stumbled out from inside.
It was Wang Han, one of the directors of Tianqing Group.
At this moment, Wang Han no longer had any of his usual calm and composed demeanor.
His expensive suit jacket was open, his tie was askew, his carefully styled hair was a bit messy, and there were even a few fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
As soon as he exited the elevator, his gaze frantically scanned the lobby. The moment he saw Lin Yu, he visibly relaxed, then immediately tensed up again.
“Lin… Nephew Lin!”
Wang Han took three steps in two, quickly walked up to Lin Yu, his face filled with an enthusiastic yet slightly flustered smile.
“Oh dear, I’m really sorry to have kept you waiting! I was just in an emergency meeting and couldn’t leave. As soon as I heard you arrived, I immediately adjourned the meeting!”
As he spoke, he subconsciously tried to pat Lin Yu’s shoulder, but his hand stopped halfway, stiff in mid-air, and he ended up awkwardly rubbing his hands.
His demeanor was not like an elder meeting a junior.
It was more like a subordinate greeting a very important person whom he absolutely could not afford to offend.
The female receptionist watched from a distance, dumbfounded.
What’s going on?
Director Wang… this flustered?
Even if he really was an illegitimate son, it shouldn’t be this bad, right? This attitude was too respectful, even a bit subservient.
A nephew, to this extent?
No!
There must be a problem!
And a big one!
Lin Yu was also a bit helpless with Wang Han’s overly enthusiastic attitude.
“Uncle Wang, you’re too polite. I just arrived.”
“No, no, keeping you waiting for even a second is my fault!” Wang Han waved his hands repeatedly, his posture extremely low.
Just then, another person walked out of the elevator.
It was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a well-tailored suit, with meticulously combed hair, exuding the aura of a shrewd and capable business elite.
He was General Manager Li, the head of Tianqing Group’s marketing department.
The meeting just now was chaired by him, but it was forcibly interrupted by Wang Han’s declaration of “I have something extremely important,” and all agenda items were postponed.
He was already seething with anger and followed out, wanting to see who this esteemed person was that could make Director Wang lose his composure like this.
As a result, he saw Lin Yu.
General Manager Li’s footsteps paused instantly.
It’s him?
The elder brother of the siblings who, after their professional awakening, arrogantly rejected all sky-high contracts in front of all the companies!
That day, as one of Tianqing Group’s representatives, he was present.
He personally witnessed how Lin Yu and Lin Yao casually discarded wealth and resources that could drive any ordinary person mad, treating them like worn-out shoes.
At that time, he felt that these two young people were incredibly arrogant.
Now, this arrogant young man actually appeared on his company’s territory, and Director Wang was treating him with such solemnity?
An indescribable anger surged from the bottom of General Manager Li’s heart.
It was an extreme sense of imbalance.
He, Li, had struggled for twenty years, climbing from a low-level employee step by step to his current position, holding high office and significant power.
Yet, even so, when facing capital larger than Heavenly Aegis, he still had to be cautious and put on a smiling face.
He didn’t have Lin Yu’s nonchalance.
Nor did he have Lin Yu’s confidence to say “no” to the whole world.
Why?
A young man in his early twenties, why him?
Just because he awakened a good profession? Just because he was exceptionally talented?
This world, after all, is a world of capital and power! Talent, in the face of true rules, is worthless!
General Manager Li stood there, becoming a complete joke.
He had originally waited for Director Wang to introduce him, or to introduce the young man named Lin Yu.
But Director Wang acted as if he hadn’t seen him.
No, more accurately, Director Wang might have caught a glimpse of him from the corner of his eye, but that fleeting glance didn’t linger at all.
It was as if he, the head of the marketing department, was just a potted plant in the lobby, or a piece of marble on the floor.
Not worth introducing.
Not even worth being seen.
