Chapter 799: Let me resolve it

The adults were chatting about more mature topics than the youngsters.

Li Feng smiled, “You’re pretty good, kid. I saw all the news about you on the Internet. Master Lin. What a befitting title.”

Tian Yu Hui smiled as well, “A lot of my close female friends worship you. If they find out that we are neighbors, I’m afraid they might come gathering at our doorstep.”

Lin Fan chuckled, “Brother Li, Sister-in-law, don’t laugh at me. I’m just blindly mixing around in society. Oh right, are you guys doing alright?”

“We’re alright. We’re doing great. How long are you prepared to stay this time?” Li Feng acted like someone without any problems as he smiled and asked.

Lin Fan said, “I’m just going to pay a visit to the elders and then I’ll be going back to Shanghai in a few days.”

Li Feng patted Lin Fan’s shoulder. “I hear Uncle Lin talk about you often. I never thought that you would be doing so well in Shanghai. Back then, you weren’t doing well in your studies and we were all worried about you.”

“Haha,” Lin Fan laughed embarrassedly. In the past, his academic results were indeed bad. Others would often be worried about him. Thinking back now, it made him a little nostalgic.

In that instant, the house was filled with laughter.

It was nearing dinner time.

“Let’s eat.” Aunty Li and Lin Fan’s mother had been busy working in the kitchen. Then, they started bringing out the dishes.

At the dining table.

Uncle Li looked at his son in surprise. “Why are you drinking wine? You always wouldn’t drink in the past.”

Li Feng laughed, “Uncle Lin and his family are here. I’m happy, so I’ll drink a little.”

Uncle Li smiled, “Alright but don’t drink too much.”

Papa Lin and Uncle Li chatted. They were just talking about some daily gossips.

Li Feng was very lively. He drank cup after cup of wine. As Tian Yu Hui saw her husband like this, her heart ached. However, the whole family was here now so she couldn’t say anything.

Lin Fan saw that Brother Li wasn’t being his usual self and he felt that it was strange.

Although he didn’t have many chances to meet Brother Li, he had heard before that Brother Li couldn’t drink much. But today, even if he was happy, he shouldn’t be drinking so much.

Could it be that there was something wrong?

At this moment, Lin Fan took a look at Li Feng’s face and started to read his fortune.

Without looking, he wouldn’t have known. But now that he had seen it, he didn’t dare to believe it.

It was the look of someone that was going to lose his job.

*ring ring*

Li Feng’s phone rang. When he saw the notification, his expression turned a little ugly but then it quickly returned to normal. “Dad, Uncle, I’m going to answer a call. You guys can eat first.”

After saying that, he went to the balcony with his phone. Then, he closed the balcony door.

Uncle Li felt that there was something different about his son today. He asked Tian Yu Hui, “Daughter-in-law, what’s up with him today?”

Tian Yu Hui laughed and said, “Dad, it’s nothing. Perhaps it’s just something at work.”

“Hey.” Uncle Li had drunk several cups and he was starting to talk more. “These Japanese companies really have a lot of problems. Even during the New Year, they’re busy working.”

Suddenly.

Shouts rang out from the balcony, “Screw off!”

Uncle Li looked towards the balcony and said worriedly, “What’s wrong?”

Tian Yu Hui hastily tried to mediate the situation, “It’s nothing. Dad, Uncle, please continue drinking. I’ll go and take a look.” Then, she got up and walked to the balcony.

Lin Fan looked at the two silhouettes on the balcony and he started to ponder.

Soon, the two of them returned.

Li Feng maintained his cool. “Dad, Uncle, I received a strange phone call just now and I lost my temper a little. There’s no issue now.”

Uncle Li said, “That’s good. If there’s something, you have to say it. Don’t keep it in your heart.”

“I know.” Li Feng nodded. But how could he say it? It would only cause his parents to worry.

However, he also knew that he couldn’t hide it for long. He would just hide it for as long as he could.

Lin Fan continued to say, “Brother Li, I heard that there’s a lot of pressure working in a Japanese company. Are you doing alright?”

Li Feng laughed awkwardly, “I’m still alright.”

Uncle Li said, “What do you mean ‘still alright’? You come home late at night every day. I think that company isn’t reliable. It’s shortening your life. Although the salary is high, I really wish you would change to a more relaxed job.

Li Feng laughed and didn’t say much. However, in his heart, he was thinking, “I’m already going to get discharged. There’s no way I would be busy anymore.”

Lin Fan smiled, “I think Uncle Li is right. What’s so good about working for the Japanese? Brother Li, I know someone who runs a big company and our friendship is pretty tight. Shall I ask him? Then, you won’t have to work for those people anymore.”

“Although the salary may not be that high, the potential for development is huge.”

Li Feng smiled and said, “No need for the trouble, Lil’ Fan.”

At the side, Uncle Li was disagreeing, “What’s this about ‘trouble’? My heart aches just looking at you work there. How can you work overtime so much? Lil’ Fan, don’t listen to him, listen to your Uncle. Ask your friend. If he’s suitable, he’ll go and work there.”

“Alright, I’ll call him right now,” said Lin Fan with a smile.

Lin Fan couldn’t bring up the matter of Brother Li losing his job. He wouldn’t be giving Brother Li face if he did that. Of course, he had to make it ‘accidental’.

Uncle Li said, “Lil’ Fan, is it a good time to call during this time?”

“It’s not a problem. I can call anytime and it would be the same,” Lin Fan said with a smile.

Lin Fan didn’t consider asking Wang Ming Yang. Although his business was large, it was mainly concentrated in Shanghai and Beijing. They didn’t have a branch office in Zhongzhou yet. So, he could only give Lu Li a call and see what’s the situation on his side.

At that moment, Tian Yu Hui looked at Lin Fan in anticipation. If this really succeeded, her husband wouldn’t have to worry so much.

The call got through. Everyone in the house fell silent.

“Chief Lu, happy New Year!” said Lin Fan.

“Happy New Year, Master Lin!”

Lin Fan didn’t speak any nonsense. He was going to get straight to the point. He asked, “Chief Lu, let me ask you something, do you have an office in Zhongzhou?”

“Oh, the situation is as such. I have an exceptionally close neighbor, an older brother of mine. He has always been working in a Japanese company. The work stress there is too great and we’re all worried about him. And don’t you think it’s not good to help those Japs earn money? That’s why I want to recommend him to you.”

“You don’t have to worry. This brother of mine has a Master’s degree and he’s very capable at work. He’s very responsible too. He can be considered a necessary talent for any big company...” Before Lin Fan finished, Lu Li started laughing on the other end.

Lu Li said, “Master Lin, you don’t need to say all this. No problem. As long as you’re the one saying it, how could I not believe you? This life of mine was saved by you. Why would you need to say all this? Alright, as long as he agrees, he can report to my company after the New Year break. According to what you’ve said, we’ll definitely give him a managerial appointment. For him to be an above average level worker in a Japanese company, he must have considerable ability. I shan’t say too much.”

Lin Fan said, “Then, how will his salary be calculated?”

Lu Li started laughing again. “Master Lin, aren’t you just slapping my face with that question? If it’s someone that you recommend, how could I pay him any less than the Japanese?”

“Alright, then. I’ll remember this favor. When I get back to Shanghai, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

“Don’t, don’t. Let me treat you. I can’t let you be the one to spend. If he’s really a talent, then I’d have to thank you later on.”

“Alright, then I’ll be hanging up now.”

Lin Fan had just wanted to try his luck. He had not expected Lu Li to give him so much face.

Good man. What a good man.

Then, Lin Fan looked at everyone. “Alright, you’ll go to work after the New Year break. They’ve promised to give you a managerial appointment immediately and they won’t pay you any less than that Japanese company.”

Uncle Li looked at Lin Fan. “Lil’ Fan, it’s done just like that? Do we need to send him gifts or invite him to dinner?”

Lin Fan waved his hand. “No need for all that. It’s enough that I’ve spoken to him.”

Mama Lin said, “Son, is this reliable? We can’t have problems coming up later on. What company is this?”

Lin Fan smiled, “Mom, don’t worry. There definitely will not be problems. As for what company it is, I’m not too sure but I do know the name of their headquarters. It’s called Lu Corporation. You’ve heard of it, haven’t you?”

“What?” Li Feng, who hadn’t been very hopeful at first, stood up immediately and looked at Lin Fan in disbelief. “Lil’ Fan, did you just say that it’s Lu Corporation?”

“Yeah.” Lin Fan nodded.

Uncle Li was puzzled. “Son, is this Lu Corporation very amazing?”

Li Feng was so ecstatic that his heart was about to jump out of his throat. “Yeah, it’s very amazing. It’s a listed company. When I graduated, I tried to go for the interview but I didn’t get selected.”

Tian Yu Hui asked, “Lil’ Fan, can that person really make it happen?”

Fortune had come too quickly and they couldn’t quite believe it. Their hearts were a little nervous.

Lin Fan said, “Of course he can. He’s the current boss of Lu Corporation. How could he not be able to make it happen?”

When they heard this, Li Feng and Tian Yu Hui were stunned.

“Thank you, Lil’ Fan.” Li Feng looked at Lin Fan, filled with gratitude.

Lin Fan chuckled and didn’t say more.

Meanwhile, Li Feng had a kind of feeling that Lil’ Fan knew about his situation.
