In the air-conditioned room, the steaming steak noodles became increasingly hot and tempting. The boudoir, which was originally filled with a faint feminine fragrance, was also filled with a tantalizing fragrance. Especially when Xiao Zheng sat down shamelessly, Lin Huayin, who had been hungry and tired for a long time, had no choice but to compromise. Under Xiao Zheng's burning eyes, he picked up the noodle bowl and started eating slowly.
In fact, Lin Huayin had a sandwich and a cup of hot milk tea all day today. I drank coffee all day long to satisfy my hunger. Because an emergency meeting was held at noon, a group of staff were dragged along to accompany her to starve. Not to mention eating, there was no time to even drink water. After the meeting, the employees started getting off work one after another. After leaving the company, Lin Huayin hid in the office for a whole night of planning, hoping to reduce the risk of this difficulty as much as possible. Even now, before Xiao Zheng came in, she was still revising the planned plan repeatedly and making some constructive details.
Not hungry? Not tired
of course not. When she came to Mingzhu alone to work hard for her career, she anticipated all the challenges she would face in the future. But she is not afraid and fearless. She wants to prove to everyone that women can do what men can do, and they can do it better and better. She also wanted to tell the man in Yanjing that she could still live a good and wonderful life without relying on him.
After a bite of the spicy and sour steak noodles, the little glutton in Lin Huayin's belly immediately became active, whetting Lin Huayin's appetite. But as a woman from a noble family with excellent cultivation and upbringing, she will remain elegant enough whether she is dining alone or with others. It's not a pretense, nor is it pretentious, but a habit developed since childhood, which has already been deeply ingrained and soaked into the bone marrow.
The noodles were a little overcooked and the soup was a little salty. Although the chili pepper is appetizing, you can add too much. For a vegetarian like her who mainly focuses on light food, the taste is always on the strong side. No matter how hungry he was, he couldn't finish the large bowl of noodles cooked according to Xiao Zheng's meal.
Lin Huayin, who had eaten less than half of the bowl, put down his bowl and chopsticks. His tired face gradually turned rosy, and he said softly, "I'm full."
"You've only eaten so much and you're full?" Xiao Zheng smacked his tongue. "Don't deliberately hide your appetite just because I'm here. In my opinion, being able to eat is a blessing. Women who eat more have a rounder body and are more palatable to men."
"I don't eat to please men." Lin Huayin said lukewarmly.
Although she was grateful to Xiao Zheng for bringing her a bowl of steak noodles with such care when she was hungry, Lin Huayin still couldn't get rid of her withdrawn and cold temperament. Even if she suppressed it as much as possible, she still gave people an unapproachable feeling. Lengye.
Seeing that Lin Huayin was really full, Xiao Zheng stopped forcing others to do anything. He took the noodle bowl and stirred it with a few chopsticks, trying to mix every noodle with the remaining soup. Then he ate the noodles with a big mouthful. Sound.
Xiao Zheng's behavior shocked Lin Huayin, who had a warm and satisfied belly. The moment Xiao Zheng was eating noodles, she leaned forward slightly and pursed her lips. She wanted to persuade but didn't know how to speak.
For a long time, when Xiao Zheng finished the bowl of steak noodles that were so spicy that he was sweating, he couldn't help but muttered: "No wonder you can't finish it. It's sour and spicy, but it's a little salty. You must not be used to it."
Having said that, Xiao Zheng, who had eaten and drank enough, wanted to light a cigarette, but he realized that this was not his bedroom, but Lin Huayin's boudoir. He held back the urge to smoke, put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "During the day I see that you summoned the leaders of various departments to a private room for a meeting. Are you worried that Han Bin will hold a grudge and use his influence in Xinao to cause trouble?"
"It's human nature." Lin Huayin said calmly. It seemed that he was not surprised by this ending, nor did he have any intention of resenting Han Bin. It seems that he has a deep understanding of human nature and is quite confident in his own strength.
"Then will he betray ENN's business secrets, or recruit his subordinates to join him, causing a shortage of ENN's technical backbone? Or - make an even more outrageous revenge?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"If he dares to betray trade secrets, I can put him in jail. As for ENN's technical elite, I don't think he can take away many of them." Lin Huayin said concisely and concisely.
"Isn't he the vice president? Isn't he the veteran who has been with ENN since the beginning? How can he not have his own small circle?" Xiao Zheng asked unexpectedly.
"The purpose of small circles is to consolidate their own interests and form cliques, just to give themselves more say. But in Xinao, I am the one with the most say. Let you choose, do you choose him or me?" Lin Huayin asked very calmly.
"Let's see who pays more." Xiao Zheng said rationally. "Whether it's to climb up the ladder or to form a clique, in the final analysis, it's all about profit."
"How much is your monthly salary?" Lin Huayin asked.
"—" Brother Azheng felt that Lin Huayin was deliberately humiliating him, but he did not hide it and confessed frankly. "If you have all the bonuses and can go to work on time, you can get up to 8,000 or even 9,000."
"In Xinao, even a security guard can get nine thousand. Do you know how much the head of the security department can get in a month?" Lin Huayin asked.
"How much?" Brother Azheng's eyes shone, eager to know Bai Yujiao's salary.
"As you said, as long as the bonus is complete and the company's discipline is not violated, you can get 50,000 yuan a month." Lin Huayin said word by word. "You have met my assistant. She is in Xinao. She gets an annual salary and will also get dividends at the end of the year."
"From the first day I founded ENN, I know how much internal strife can damage a company. There are countless large companies around the world that have gone on the road to destruction due to internal strife. So I can give The salary of employees is high enough, but there is only one condition, no cliques are allowed. Once verified, they will be fired."
Xiao Zheng's expression was subtle, and he said with admiration: "No wonder Tang Ming and the others can tolerate Xinao's high-pressure policy. It turns out that you have grasped the minds of employees. You know how they will make choices."
After receiving Xiao Zheng's praise, Lin Huayin still said expressionlessly: "So I can tell you that the real threat to Xinao is not the key employees that Han Bin may take away. Because the relationship between these people and Han Bin has never been They are all leaders and subordinates. When Han Bin was the vice president of Xinao, he was worthy of the people below him. When he was kicked out by me. Who would follow him regardless of the future? Use a higher salary to win over? In Mingzhu , Xinao's remuneration has exceeded the average by more than 50%. I don't think Han Bin has such great courage. The Han family will not allow him to spend a sky-high price to do something that harms others and does not benefit himself."
"Then what is the real threat to Xinao?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
Since there is no worry about a large loss of internal employees, it is basically impossible to damage ENN’s foundation. What else does Lin Huayin have to worry about
"ENN is about to be launched. The Han family may maliciously smear ENN because of Han Bin's exit, causing public opinion that is unfavorable to ENN." Lin Huayin clearly pointed out the problem.
"Then when I scolded Mei Fangfang just now, didn't it increase the invisible threat to Xinao?" Xiao said with a blushing face.
Lin Huayin said calmly: "If you don't say it, I will say it too. It's just not as unpleasant as what you said."
Seeing that Lin Huayin did not blame himself, Xiao Zheng raised his head with twinkling eyes and asked, "Listen to what you said, the biggest threat to ENN right now is that the Han family slanders ENN and affects its listing process?"
"It's just possible." Lin Huayin pursed her lips. "There has not been any ownership dispute in Xinao in the past few years, and it has never been involved in the judicial process. There has not been any negative news in Mingzhu. Even if the Han family wants to throw dirty water, it will not have much impact."
"But no matter what, the loss of employees within ENN and the malicious smear from the outside will always cause considerable obstacles to the listing. Moreover, looking at Mei Fangfang's arrogant attitude just now, the influence of the Han family in Mingzhu The strength is definitely not small. Once they attack, Xin'ao may not be able to withstand them."
Lin Huayin frowned and said, "I will find a way to solve it."
"With your prestige and means, I believe internal problems are not difficult to deal with. But what about external causes? How do you plan to prevent the bombardment of public opinion? You can't buy all the media, right? Of course, if you really do this, it will be in vain. It's fair to say that you don't have three hundred taels of silver here." Xiao Zheng analyzed rationally.
"I will study it further." Lin Huayin said calmly.
"No need to study any more. I'll help you with a move that will ensure 100% prevention of the Han family's sinister intentions." Xiao Zheng said with a squinted smile.
"Are you going to make a move?" Lin Huayin looked at Xiao Zheng doubtfully. Qidao. "What trick?"
"Have you heard of Ciyun Orphanage?" Xiao Zheng asked enthusiastically. When it comes to their own 'home', everyone will be sincerely proud, especially this 'home' that really makes people proud.
"I've heard of it. It's the best-run orphanage in Mingzhu and the most well-known. I heard that the director was personally received by the leaders of the municipal party committee and awarded him a medal for touching Mingzhu. He is a very well-known figure in Mingzhu." Lin Hua Yin patiently narrated. There was a trace of admiration flowing in the cold eyes.
"He and I are old acquaintances. You said that if he comes forward to clear Xinao's name, even if the Han family spends a lot of time to smear Xinao, will the media still give him face?" Xiao Zheng said proudly. "After all, he is the target of the media, and he is also a well-known philanthropic old man in Mingzhu. If anyone openly offends him, isn't he going against public opinion?"
Lin Huayin listened to Xiao Zheng's description with calm eyes, and then asked for a long time: "Why do you always get to know such a respected old man, but your own moral character doesn't have much to shine?"
Xiao Zheng was stunned for a while, then said angrily: "I'm helping you, but you are laughing at me?"
"I'm just telling the truth." Lin Huayin said. "I have my own way to solve this problem. There is no need to trouble the old man."
Xiao Zheng was greatly disappointed, with deep earnestness in his eyes, and asked: "Even if you have the means, there is no need to refuse the old man's help, right? After all, it is just a piece of cake for him. Well, if you can donate a With two million, the old guy will definitely be more motivated to promote it.”
"You can donate money. If you're busy, you don't need to help." Lin Huayin said. But his eyes flashed and he slowly stared at Xiao Zhengdao. "You want to see him?"
Xiao Zheng didn't expect Lin Huayin to guess his thoughts at a glance. He didn't hide it at the moment and sighed: "We haven't seen each other for seven years. I really miss him."
"Can't you just go see me directly? Do you need to borrow my name?" Lin Huayin asked.
"I'm afraid that the meeting will be awkward, so it would be better to find a reason." Xiao Zheng said in embarrassment.
In fact, his relationship with the old dean was superficially just that of the dean and the orphan, but in reality, there was a father-son relationship. When he was young and frivolous, he chose to drop out of school when the college entrance examination was approaching, which made the old principal so angry that he almost went to the hospital. The relationship between the two also broke down, and a huge gap appeared. Seven years have passed, and Xiao Zheng has looked away from everything, but he still dares not come to see the old dean after seven years of absence. Occasionally when I wake up from a dream, the old scene of the orphanage lingers in my mind, which is melancholy.
"Is this what you men call face?" Lin Huayin glanced at Xiao Zheng coldly. "You obviously want to meet, but you don't want to meet because of face?"
Xiao Zheng was speechless, with a melancholy look on his face: "Maybe you are right, I do care about face."
Lin Huayin pondered for a moment, then said aloud: "I'm free tomorrow afternoon. Please take half a day off and accompany me to donate."
Xiao Zheng was happy and said excitedly: "Really?"
Lin Huayin's tone was a little dull, and he didn't understand why Xiao Zheng sometimes looked like a scoundrel, and sometimes he was as innocent as a child with no sense of authority. He nodded lightly and said: "Yes. After I heard about the old man's deeds before, I had the idea of donating. But I have been busy with work and forgot about it over time."
"Then how much do you plan to donate?" Xiao Zheng asked. "The orphanage is not small. The old director took in nearly a thousand orphans, and the daily expenses were quite staggering."
"Five million." Lin Huayin said without thinking.
"Great job!" Xiao Zheng raised his thumb. "I knew you were a good woman with a bodhisattva heart!"
"Didn't you just say that I have no love?" Lin Huayin asked. A faint soothing look passed between his brows and eyes. Maybe he was really too tense. Only by chatting with Xiao Zheng for a few harmless jokes could he relax his tense nerves.
"Is there any?" Xiao Zheng said awkwardly. "Maybe I misunderstood."
After a brief pause, Xiao Zheng's expression suddenly became strange, and he asked tentatively: "Then what kind of relationship should we use to see the old dean?"
"Colleague relationship." Lin Huayin said without hesitation.
"Colleague?" Xiao Zheng fought hard. "I was the old dean's most promising child at the time, and I told him that he would definitely succeed in the future. If I were to go as your subordinate, I would feel a bit—"
"If you are afraid of embarrassment, work harder and be more diligent. Don't fish for three days and dry the nets for two days, waiting for pie to fall from the sky." Lin Huayin said coldly.
"Didn't a piece of pie fall from the sky?" Xiao Zheng stared at Lin Huayin intriguingly and said with a pun.
Lin Huayin's face darkened and he said displeasedly: "Be careful with your words."
I'm afraid no woman would be willing to accept being described as a pie. Even if Xiao Zheng's description was positive and complimentary, Lin Huayin still couldn't accept it.
"Okay -" Xiao Zheng asked with a smile and nod. "When the time comes, there should be no problem for us to consider ourselves good friends, right? You are my boss in the company, and we will be good friends after work. Isn't that good?"
Lin Huayin pursed her lips and said, "Yeah, okay. You go out, I have to work."
Seeing her promise, Xiao Zheng stood up, put away the dishes, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't disturb you anymore. But it's getting late, so don't stay up too late, it's not good for your health."
"I know." Lin Huayin opened the document and stopped talking to Xiao Zheng. It wasn't until she heard the sound of the door closing that she raised her head slightly, a subtle color flashing across her beautiful eyes.
Good friends? With Lin Huayin's intelligence, he could naturally tell what Xiao was planning. But the identity of the two did exist. Although she didn't want to admit it, to a certain extent, she had to accept this reality.
Xiao Zheng was always her legal husband under the contract! In the company, she couldn't make it public due to the overall situation. In private, she really had no reason to refuse. Moreover, if we just talk about the identity of the husband, Xiao Zheng's performance is not bad, and he has been protecting her. Even if he openly offends Mei Fangfang, he seems to have no fear. Lin Huayin didn't want to embarrass such a man who had the courage to take responsibility and stood in front of her to shield her from the wind and rain. After all, the two still have a long way to go. An accident may end this life.
This time, Lin Huayin didn't suddenly have strong negative emotions like that time in the restaurant, and was able to look at it all calmly. This mentality makes Lin Huayin, who has experienced many battles and is extremely intelligent, fall into a subtle uneasiness and hesitation. Lasts forever…
