Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

It is not surprising that Li Rongfeng asked this question, as there were new faces joining the previous meetings.

But there was never a time when Director Xiao specifically called him out and everyone applauded and welcomed him.

Old Zhang, who was standing by, was also aroused by Li Rongfeng's question and was now listening attentively to Lin Donglai's reply.

Before Lin Donglai had time to reply to Li Rongfeng, Director Xiao started today's speech. Li Rongfeng had no choice but to sit up straight and listen carefully.

Old Zhang, who was sitting next to Li Rongfeng, listened to some of what was said and felt even more uncomfortable.

He is usually in charge of personnel matters. Besides him, there are a few old ladies in the office who gossip about other people all day long.

It is because of the influence of such a special environment that he, as a grown man, is particularly interested in these gossips.

Now I have only listened to half of the words and there is no further follow-up. I feel very anxious and upset. How can I not feel bad?

After Director Xiao and several other factory leaders finished their speeches, it was time for an intermission and everyone went to drink water or go to the toilet.

Li Rongfeng was about to leave when Lao Zhang pulled him down and gestured to him with a nod.

The meaning was obvious, and Li Rongfeng immediately understood it. He bumped Lin Donglai with his shoulder and said, "Xiao Lin, you haven't answered my question yet."

"Did you know Director Xiao before today?"

Lin Donglai didn't keep him in suspense and told him the truth: "I do know him. I'll tell you the truth, Brother Li. I went fishing with Director Xiao before."

Hearing this, Lao Zhang felt deflated and became more certain of his own thoughts:

No wonder Lin Dong said he didn’t want to find a partner. It turns out it’s not that he doesn’t want to find a partner, but that he has better options.

Director Xiao has a daughter who is the same age as his daughter. As a father, it is understandable that he finds a partner for his daughter.

There is a huge gap between him and Director Xiao in terms of position, income, and family background. Not to mention Lin Donglai, he would have made the same choice.

Now it was Lao Zhang's turn to feel uncomfortable. He thought that Lin Donglai wanted to climb up the social ladder without saying it clearly, which made him waste a lot of expression just now.

So the person at the side said, "Xiao Lin, no wonder you said you don't want to find a partner anymore."

"I don't think you want to find a date, but you just want to find the daughter of the factory leader as a date, right?"

Lin Donglai never expected that Lao Zhang was so petty. Looking at his envious, jealous and hateful expression, he looked exactly like someone in the yard.

Lin Donglai glanced at him with disgust and simply replied: "People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places, so what?"

Hearing this, Lao Zhang's thin face almost wrinkled like his eyebrows. He stood up and patted Li Rongfeng on the shoulder: "Lao Li, I'll sit over there."

After saying that, he picked up his water cup, walked quickly to the seat a few rows away, and sat down.

Li Rongfeng wanted to smooth things over, so he walked back and forth between Lin Donglai and Lao Zhang and said some nice things, but unfortunately it didn't work.

Just as Lin Donglai stood up and stretched his body, Director Xiao walked towards him, stood in front of him and started laughing without saying a word.

"Haha, I've heard a long time ago that the buyer named Lin from your steel mill is very capable and can often do the work of several people."

"Today I finally got to see you in person, Xiaolin, why is it you? What a coincidence!"

"By the way, didn't we agree to go fishing together last weekend? Why didn't you come? I had to stretch my neck to wait for two days. Look, my neck is still stretched out."

After saying that, the old man patted him on the shoulder and burst into another hearty laugh.

The old man didn't talk much while fishing. He talked about fishing all the time and hardly talked about anything else.

It can be said that the old man sitting in front of the microphone was very different from his appearance when he was fishing, which made Lin Donglai feel that clothes make the man, and gold ornaments make the Buddha.

Hearing Director Xiao's laughter, he also laughed: "Director Xiao, you are too kind!"

"Hey, you're not calling me old man now?"

"Well! I didn't know you then, but now that I know you, it's not appropriate to call you old man, right, Director Xiao?"

This made Director Xiao laugh again: "You are not only good at fishing, but also good at talking."

"By the way, why didn't you go fishing last weekend? I went there for two days but couldn't find you. I thought you were out of touch again like before."

Director Xiao's enthusiasm made Lin Donglai a little overwhelmed, so he simply told the truth that his cousin was getting married at the weekend and he would go to the countryside to help pick up the bride and entertain relatives and friends.

Since I was busy and tired the day before, I just wanted to have a good rest at home the next day, so I didn’t go fishing.

Seeing that Lin Donglai was very honest, Director Xiao smiled and comforted him, saying that he was just joking and did not mean to blame him.

As the troops returned to their seats one after another, Director Xiao prepared to leave. Before leaving, he leaned over to Lin Donglai and whispered:

"Xiao Lin, I didn't get enough of fishing last time. I'll wait for you at the old place this weekend. You must remember to come, okay?"

As it stands, Lin Donglai usually has nothing to do on weekends, and Director Xiao’s requests are not excessive.

Lin Donglai naturally did not refuse, he smiled and whispered to him: "Then let's meet at the old place at seven o'clock on Saturday morning!"

After receiving a positive response, Director Xiao walked back to his seat contentedly, cleared his throat and prepared to start the next round of speech.

Li Rongfeng took advantage of this gap to bump into Lin Donglai's shoulder again and asked with a smile: "Xiao Lin, what did Director Xiao say to you?"

Seeing that Lin Donglai didn't reply, he winked and smiled: "I just heard you say that we should meet at the same place at 7 o'clock. This doesn't feel right."

"Haha, tell Brother Li quickly, are you dating Director Xiao's daughter and have they made an appointment to meet?"

Li Rongfeng's silly smile made it impossible for people to imagine that he had such imagination.

Lin Donglai rolled his eyes at him: "Brother Li, you think too much. You only think about men and women. Can't you think about something else?"

"I've already said that I don't have any plans to find a partner right now, so you guys shouldn't worry about it."

Unfortunately, Li Rongfeng was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't listen to him at all. He smiled and replied, "I understand, I understand everything."

Lin Donglai really wanted to tell him: You worry about things that you shouldn’t worry about all day long. What do you know? You know shit!

Old Zhang, who was not far away, had been keeping an eye on Lin Donglai. When he saw Director Xiao and Lin Donglai chatting in a familiar manner, he was very puzzled.

After calming down, he secretly made up his mind to work hard to climb up the social ladder, otherwise even when looking for a partner for his daughter, he would have to find someone left over by others.

For a young man as talented as Lin Donglai, it would be useless even if he was in the right mood, because he would have been won over by someone more capable than him long ago.
