novelxo Chapter 256 Shop was Smashed
"Deputy Director Tang, it's rare for Deputy Director Lin to be so happy. Don't ruin it for her. Her target is so high, even the Director might not be able to fulfill it, not to mention her!" A woman who was close to Tang Lan mocked.
Tang Lan said smugly, "Yes, Deputy Director Lin wouldn't have such an ability!"
Lin Xiaofeng smiled but did not speak.
At this moment.
"President!"
"President!"
A middle-aged man ran into the office with his head full of sweat.
The staff all stood up to address him.
"President Zhu, what's the matter? You're sweating like crazy!"
Due to her husband, Tang Lan was respected by the president.
But unexpectedly, President Zhu, who had always been polite to her, didn't look at her now. He didn't even seem to hear her.
He went directly to Lin Xiaofeng.
"Xiaofeng, you have done a great deed for our bank. I don't even know how to thank you!"
President Zhu was extremely excited.
"President Zhu, what's the matter?" Lin Xiaofeng thought of what it could be, but she still asked.
“Haha, I have always dreamed of collaborating with Jin Ling Commercial—I mean Dreamer Investment Group, but our bank was not up to their standard. I couldn't even persuade one of their subsidiary companies to collaborate with us!"
"Now, you have persuaded thirty subsidiary companies in one go and sixty enterprises which are financed by them to work with us. More is added to the list as we are speaking. I-I can't believe it!" President Zhu's excitement was imaginable.
Lin Xiaofeng was shocked as well, let alone President Zhu.
She thought Chen Hao could only help her out with one or two companies, but thirty subsidiary companies and sixty enterprises financed by them?
Goodness!
This time, she wouldn't only be promoted to a director, would she?
"Haha, today I'm here to tell you that we will be signing contracts with them tomorrow, so you have to go with me, but your post as deputy director is too inappropriate. I have told the board that from today, you will be the Acting Vice President. Liu is retiring next month and you can fill his shoes! As for the post of director, it will be empty next month as well. How about this? You can do both for the moment, though it might be a bit tiring!"
President Zhu then said, "Alright, go file an application now. I'll approve the application for the vice president and director positions later!"
"I... Understood, President Zhu. Thank you for your trust!" Lin Xiaofeng was close to tears.
After President Zhu left, Lin Xiaofeng didn't even know what she should do.
Smash!
At this moment, Tang Lan's cup slipped from her hands and fell to the ground. It broke into pieces.
She was speechless.
"How is this possible? How?" she mumbled incredulously.
To think that she initially had the upper hand on all aspects compared to her rival.
After competing tirelessly, this rival didn't just get promoted one grade, but several grades. The playing field was instantly uneven! How would that make one feel?
"Congratulations, Director-Vice president Lin!"
Everyone was clapping in the office.
Lin Xiaofeng looked at Tang Lan smugly.
She then dialed a number immediately.
"Chen Hao, thank you so much. Your friend Mr. Jin really is amazing! I'm now promoted to vice president! Chen Hao, if you have time, Xu Xin and I will treat you again! You have to come, Chen Hao!" Lin Xiaofeng talked loudly for someone to hear.
"Alright, Mrs. Lin!"
Chen Hao nodded his head.
After a few exchanges, Lin Xiaofeng hung up the phone.
"W-Who did you call? Who did you say helped you?"
Tang Lan asked with a pale face.
"Chen Hao. You should be more familiar with him than me! Do you all know who Chen Hao is? He was the boy we were discussing yesterday, the one who took out 600,000 in cash at one go. He is my daughter's good friend and he's very nice to her!"
People in the office were familiar with each other, so Lin Xiaofeng didn't need to be cautious of what she said.
"Wow! That's an ideal son-in-law!"
The others were envious.
"Y-You're lying. How could Chen Hao be so capable? You're lying!" Tang Lan roared.
Lin Xiaofeng's words were like needles that pierced her heart.
"Alright, just pretend I'm lying. Yes, I'm lying!"
Lin Xiaofeng grinned merrily.
Tang Lan was extremely mad.
She was already forty. Seeing how fame and fortune were gained by her rival made her regretful and envious! Moreover, they were given by Chen Hao who she thought was a loser. To her own surprise, she cried!
Back to Chen Hao.
By this time, Chen Hao was already at the hotel when he received a call.
It was from Li Zhenguo.
"Young Master Chen, I have two things to report!" Li Zhenguo said.
"Go on, Zhenguo!"
"Firstly, it is about your pendant. Mr. Xu has already made some progress. I have found several masters from all over the world to make a final confirmation. I believe the results will be out in two days. We think the pendant originated from the southwest, but this is just preliminary!" Li Zhenguo said.
"I see. Alright, we'll wait for the final results. What about the second thing?"
Chen Hao was delighted that progress was made.
"Secondly, are you free tonight? Haha, our investment in Ping An County and the development of Jin Ling City are extremely valued by the officials. They will be inspecting this afternoon and I will be holding a reception tonight. If you can come, it would show our respect for the officials!"
"Oh, who will be there? I have time!" Chen Hao asked.
"Director Huang Weimin, officials from Jin Ling City and all the famous people in Ping An County!"
"Alright, then I'll head over there earlier tonight!" Chen Hao said.
It was nearly four o'clock.
He prepared to head over there earlier.
Then, he remembered that he agreed to have dinner with Li Xiao.
He had to tell him he couldn't go, so he dialed his number. However, Li Xiao didn't pick up the phone.
What was the matter?
Chen Hao phoned Su Ting.
After two dials, Su Ting picked up the phone.
But after she answered the phone, Chen Hao sensed that something was off.
He recognized Li Xiao's voice amid a noisy environment. It seemed like people were shouting.
He could hear Li Xiao yell from time to time.
Su Ting was speaking urgently.
"Chen Hao!"
"Su Ting, what's the matter? Did something happen?"
Su Ting paused and answered, "It's Li Xiao. Someone smashed our store. Li Xiao is about to fight with them. Those people are still in the store!"
"Huh?" Chen Hao jumped up from the sofa.
"Wait for me, I'll be there in a moment!"‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
