Chapter 53 It’s so sharp
Xu Kai waved his hands hurriedly: "I wouldn't kill him, but I can't just let him go..."
Lin Fan interrupted him. "Alright, follow my lead on this one. After the meeting, go report to CEO Zhao and tell him you've discovered Xu Gaoyuan. This achievement should earn you a promotion to manager." He added, puffing on his cigarette. "Remember, you told me this this morning. Got it?"
Although a little confused, Xu Kai nodded and agreed: "Yes...Brother Fan, what kind of meeting is this? How come I don't know?"
"Oh, it's a high-level meeting. It's normal that you don't know since your level is not high enough." Lin Fan said casually.
As the two chatted, the phone on the table suddenly rang. Lin Shan's voice came from the receiver: "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Zhao asked me to inform you to come to Conference Room 2 for a meeting at 9:30."
Lin Fan responded and hung up the phone before looking at Xu Kai and asking, "Where is Conference Room 2?"
"It's a small conference room. I'll take Brother Fan there later." Xu Kai responded immediately.
"uh-huh."
The clock pointed to nine twenty, and Xu Kai was ready to go.
"Why rush? The meeting doesn't start until 9:30, it won't be too late to go then." Lin Fan seemed calm.
"Isn't the meeting scheduled for 9:30?" Xu Kai asked doubtfully.
"The big shots always make the final appearance, so there's no reason for us to wait for them." Lin Fan had a smile on his face.
"You mean to let Mr. Zhao wait for you too?" Xu Kai widened his eyes.
"That's right." Lin Fan nodded in confirmation.
Xu Kai was stunned and looked at Lin Fan, thinking: After becoming the vice president, has he started to become arrogant?
It was not until the clock struck half past nine that Lin Fan slowly walked out of the security department and, under the guidance of Xu Kai, headed towards the small conference room.
At this moment, the small conference room was already full of people, and the senior executives gathered together.
Zhao Ziqing was also present. She looked around but didn't see Lin Fan. She frowned slightly and asked, "Lin Shan, have you notified Lin Fan?"
"I have already informed Vice President Xiao, but..." Lin Shan's tone was a little anxious. Where did Lin Fan go?
"Contact him again." Zhao Ziqing's voice was cold and decisive.
Lin Fan is one of the protagonists of the meeting today, but he is so unpunctual. It’s really too much!
The senior executives who had originally criticized Lin Fan's appointment as vice president now found an excuse to attack him.
Sure enough, a sharp female voice rang out: "This Vice President Xiao doesn't even have the most basic sense of time. How can he be responsible for such an important task?"
"Indeed, even ordinary employees know that they have to attend meetings on time." Someone immediately agreed.
"That's right. Vice President Xiao was just a bodyguard before, a rough guy. How could he understand these rules?" someone else mocked.
"Which bastard is farting here? I'm a rude man? Whether I'm rude or not is not for an old woman like you to judge!"
Following this domineering voice, Lin Fan appeared at the door.
"Brother Fan is awesome. He dares to confront Manager Zhao like that... But this old woman really deserves to be scolded!" Xu Kai followed behind Lin Fan, his heart full of admiration.
Manager Zhao usually relies on the support of Vice President Li to act domineeringly in the company, like a tigress that cannot be provoked. Now someone finally disciplines her.
Although Xu Kai was not qualified to attend the meeting, he still found it quite enjoyable to stand at the door and listen to the excitement.
"What did you just say?" A woman in her forties glared at him, her face turning blue with anger.
"You were the one who just called me rude?" Lin Fan looked her up and down, his face full of disdain.
"With your character, you still want to explore my personal life? Don't dream, you are just wishful thinking!"
Lin Fan’s words stunned everyone. What did this mean?
With a chuckle, Xu Kai outside the door was the first to laugh.
Isn't Brother Fan really that good at insulting others? He can actually strike back from this angle!
The people in the conference room gradually understood the double meaning. Although they didn't laugh out loud, they all had strange expressions and were obviously trying to hold back their laughter.
Even Zhao Ziqing bit her red lips, trying hard to hold back her smile.
This counterattack... is so sharp!
"You...you..." The woman glared at Lin Fan, too angry to speak.
"What do you mean by 'you'? I'm the kind of man you can't reach." Lin Fan said contemptuously and walked to Zhao Ziqing.
"Sorry, I was delayed by something small." He explained to Zhao Ziqing.
"Since Vice President Xiao is here, let's start today's meeting." Zhao Ziqing looked around the room and spoke in a firm voice.
The conference room suddenly became quiet and everyone sat up straight.
The angry woman had to suppress her anger and dared not speak again.
"Let's talk about the company's affairs first." Zhao Ziqing said and sat down.
"Manager Jiang, please start first." Zhao Ziqing instructed softly.
"I understand, Mr. Zhao." Jiang Li nodded in agreement and began his report calmly.
Lin Fan wasn't particularly interested in the trivialities of Zhao's company; listening to them made him feel sleepy. He thought to himself, "If only I could have a cigarette to perk myself up." Or, perhaps, he could just slip out and chat with Xu Kai for a bit and come back later?
Time passed slowly as the department managers gave their reports. Half an hour later, Zhao Ziqing stood up to give her summary. As she finished her words, everyone's eyes turned to Lin Fan, as if anticipating his performance.
"Before we discuss the company's future, I'd like to announce a new personnel appointment," Zhao Ziqing said, her eyes flicking over Lin Fan. "I'm sure everyone has already heard about this through the company's internal email. Cai Wen, please explain it to everyone in detail."
"Okay, Mr. Zhao," Cai Wen agreed, but he felt a bit apprehensive. Lin Fan had only been at the company for three days, and there weren't any notable achievements to speak of. He couldn't possibly publicize his heroic feat of subduing all his competitors on his first day and successfully taking on the role of "bodyguard," right?
Just as Cai Wen was hesitating, Lin Fan stood up with a smile, "It seems Cai Wen is a little embarrassed. Let me introduce it myself."
He looked around and said loudly, "My name is Lin Fan. I joined Zhao Corporation three days ago. To be honest, I was originally just Mr. Zhao's bodyguard. Being promoted to vice president is something I find incredible even to myself."
"Hmph, you still have some self-awareness." A female senior executive snorted coldly.
Lin Fan raised his voice, "I know everyone is curious and confused about me, the new Vice President. How could a bodyguard be promoted to Vice President in such a short time?" He paused and continued, "The reason is actually very simple. It's because I possess a talent that cannot be ignored!"
Everyone was shocked. Could there really be some hidden secret? But looking at Lin Fan's confident expression, it didn't seem fake.
"There's a saying that goes, 'Gold will always shine.' Even though I'm just applying for a bodyguard position, Mr. Zhao has noticed my shining points. Of course, this is also thanks to Mr. Zhao's keen eye for talent," Lin Fan said with a smile.
