Chapter 101 I Love You
The reason so many people in the workplace are giving up is because they know that their efforts are meaningless and they see no hope whatsoever.
Most people have very simple ideals: to be able to leave work on time and to get paid for overtime. But even with such simple requirements, and even though the law stipulates that overtime cannot be done without compensation, it is still impossible to achieve. It is very strange.
Song Jiehui is now making a big promise to Lin Chen, saying that if he does a good job in making the company a "cost-saving enterprise", he will promote Lin Chen to deputy director. To be honest, this kind of tactic is really despicable, but it is indeed effective.
Lin Chen was genuinely tempted. In fact, he already had an idea in his mind, but he was reluctant to say it. Now, for the sake of this deputy director, he had no choice but to go against his conscience.
"Director Song, if you really want to get a good ranking, you'll probably need to invite an expert to give us a proper lesson and carefully analyze the documents."
Song Jiehui was a little confused at first, but after thinking for a moment, he suddenly slapped his thigh excitedly: "Lin Chen, did you have to remind me? My brain just hasn't been working properly. Do you have any suitable people?"
Song Jiehui's reaction surprised Lin Chen a little, but he still said calmly, "This document was issued by the Biotechnology Department of the Provincial Company. If we can get someone from their department to come over, that would be the best, since they definitely have the deepest understanding of this document."
Song Jiehui became completely excited: "Lin Chen, you're getting more and more insightful. Indeed, the drug needs to be administered aggressively. Let's go find their minister, or at least their deputy minister if that doesn't work."
Seeing Song Jiehui's reaction, Lin Chen regretted his suggestion, because he knew things had gone seriously astray. Song Jiehui wasn't thinking about doing anything practical; he was trying to use connections.
Of course, Lin Chen didn't care. As long as the matter was accomplished, he could take a break. Why not?
"Director Song, you're from the provincial level, you should be familiar with them, right? Wouldn't it be more sincere if you personally extended the invitation?"
Song Jiehui shook his head: "I can't show up directly. If I do, this matter will become an official business, and there will be no room for negotiation. The worst thing you can do in this kind of thing is to use official channels and make your face public."
It's just inviting someone down to give a lecture, why can't we follow the proper procedures openly? Lin Chen felt that things weren't entirely pure anymore, but if they didn't go through official channels, how would they get reimbursed?
Lin Chen thought for a moment: "Director Song, if we invite them to give lectures, we should at least reimburse their food and lodging. It will probably cost a lot of money, and it won't be easy to get the money without going through official channels."
Lin Chen quickly clarified that he would not contribute any money; it was up to Lin Chen whether he paid or not.
"Don't worry about the money for now!" Song Jiehui waved his hand dismissively, his face showing no concern.
"Get the guy here first! This kind of money has to be spent; you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub! I'm leaving this to you, kid, you better get him here!"
Leave it to me? Are you crazy? What have I done to deserve this?
Lin Chen made a face and tried to decline: "Director Song, this is too difficult for me. I'm just a lowly office worker, my words carry little weight, how could I possibly have that much influence?"
Song Jiehui suddenly revealed a meaningful smile, a smile that sent chills down Lin Chen's spine: "I believe you, and you should still remember Tang Yuwei, right? You two had a pretty good relationship, didn't you? She's back at the provincial company now, maybe you could ask her for a favor, invite someone down to give a lecture, it's not difficult."
Seeing Song Jiehui's sinister smile, Lin Chen suddenly fell silent, feeling a wave of nausea. He had originally been scheming to take advantage of Song Jiehui's connections, but unexpectedly, he had become the one being used, the one who was being manipulated instead of the one stalking the cicada. The scheming in officialdom was truly deadly without drawing blood.
After returning home, Lin Chen tossed and turned, and finally called Tang Yuwei. Tang Yuwei replied listlessly, "What, class monitor, you finally have time to call me? I thought you had disappeared."
Lin Chen wasn't a little boy; he knew that if a woman was angry, something was definitely wrong. After thinking for a while, he remembered that yesterday was some kind of White Valentine's Day. So, Lin Chen directly ordered a large plush toy and a bouquet of roses for Tang Yuwei on JD.com, even paying extra for express delivery. Then he asked directly, "What's wrong, my dear lady? Didn't you receive my gift and flowers?"
Tang Yuwei instantly transformed. Her heart, which had been heavy all day, finally leaped with excitement. Her chest heaved as she exclaimed, "What? You bought me a gift and flowers? Where are they? I didn't receive them!"
Lin Chen's acting skills are now superb: "Let me check the order first. Oh, damn it, I ordered the wrong date for today. But it should be delivered soon. My dear lady, I'm so sorry."
Tang Yuwei had completely calmed down: "Forget it, I forgive you. You stinky class monitor, at least you still have some conscience. So, what do you want with that girl?"
Lin Chen immediately explained the situation to her: "Song Jiehui has gone mad and insists that I go out and find your provincial company's biotechnology department colleagues to come and train us. I have no choice but to ask you."
Tang Yuwei: "I'm not very familiar with the biotechnology department either, but I suggest you don't contact their minister. Minister Liao doesn't handle these kinds of things. You can contact their deputy minister, He Qin. He really likes to go to the countryside to conduct training."
He Qin? That's a good person. Lin Chen read the proposal, and his name was on it at the end. This plan for a cost-saving enterprise was written by him. Finding him was definitely the right choice.
After talking with Tang Yuwei, Lin Chen immediately called He Qin: "Minister He, hello, I am Lin Chen, an office specialist from Suixian Company."
Minister He frowned: "Is there something you need?"
Lin Chen got straight to the point: "It's like this, I saw that your department recently launched a plan for building a resource-saving enterprise. Our company has been studying it for a long time, but we still can't grasp the essence of the plan, so we would like to invite Minister He to take some time to come over and explain it to us and give us some guidance on this work."
After listening, He Qin replied after about five seconds: "Is this your leader's idea or yours? It's not that simple for me to go down and give a lecture, and time is very tight."
Lin Chen: "It was Director Song's idea; he told me to definitely invite you."
He Qin: "If it's your director's idea, I can consider it. However, I'm not available this week. My schedule is already full of lectures, and the earliest I can come is next Monday. If you are really sincere and really want to hear me give a lecture, I can come on the weekend."
Lin Chen quickly replied, "Minister He, you're too kind. How could I take up your weekend rest time? This isn't urgent. If next Monday isn't possible, next Tuesday or Wednesday will also be fine."
He Qin's tone carried a hint of disappointment: "Then let's do it on Monday. I'll try to squeeze in some time."
"Thank you so much!" Lin Chen pressed on, "What specific requirements do you have for your lecture? We will definitely cooperate fully."
He Qin said casually, "I don't have any special requirements. Explaining documents to you is my job. However, I'm a little afraid of long-distance travel, so I only take the high-speed rail or a private car when I go out."
Lin Chen was at a loss. There was no high-speed rail directly connecting Suicheng to the provincial capital. He could only bite the bullet and reply, "Why don't you take the high-speed rail to Ningcheng first, and I'll send you a private car to pick you up?"
He Qin hesitated for a few seconds before replying, "Then I'll trouble you."
"Minister He, do you have any other requests?"
"That's all, just send an invitation over."
Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "Our Director Song's idea is that this matter should not be handled through official channels, but rather through private channels."
He Qin said indifferently, "I don't care about that. Anyway, I need you to send me a letter so that I have a legitimate reason to go down and give you lectures. I can't just skip work for no reason."
Lin Chen: "Okay, I understand. I don't know the specific amount of your lecture fee. I'll report to my supervisor and inform the finance department in advance so that I can settle the bill with you in time."
He Qin: "You can do whatever you want with this. I don't really care about this. It's too vulgar. You can give me whatever you think my class is worth. It's fine if you don't give me anything. If you're talking about money, I might as well not teach this class."
Holy crap, such noble character makes one look at oneself with disdain.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen immediately went to report the situation to Song Jiehui.
Song Jiehui waved his hand and made the decision: "Stop making trouble, send a car to the provincial capital to pick him up!"
Lin Chen was taken aback: "Isn't it a bit too much trouble? He's already agreed, we can just reimburse him for the travel expenses later."
"How can it not be necessary? It's absolutely necessary! Lin Chen, you've never been a leader, you don't know, it's a world of difference!" Song Jiehui glared at him, then asked, "Did he say how much compensation he wanted?"
Lin Chen answered truthfully: "Minister He said it's too vulgar to talk about money. We can give you whatever we think is appropriate, or it's fine if we don't."
Song Jiehui stroked his chin, lost in thought.
It's really difficult to have no requirements.
Lin Chen came out of the office to find his phone vibrating incessantly. When he opened it, he saw it was full of "I love you, I love you" emojis from Tang Yuwei. Was this girl ovulating again?
She posted another photo of herself holding a flower plush toy: "Thank you for the gift."
Lin Chen wanted to say, "If you want to thank someone, thank Song Jiehui."
