Chapter 892: Sister Lin’s Thoughts
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Since there were doubts, Yang Ming was naturally anxious to rush to the company to investigate. However, when he passed by Mr. Li’s California Beef Noodle King downstairs from the office, he figured that Lin Zhiyun had not eaten yet. He went in, ordered two bowls of beef noodles and a few side dishes, and took it into the company.
The company’s security guards all knew Yang Ming. When they saw Yang Ming, they wanted to greet him, but he stopped them. He whispered, “Is Vice President Lin at the company?”
“En, she is.” The security guard also whispered. Although he did not know why Yang Ming whispered, since Yang Ming whispered, he followed and whispered.
“These past few days, did she go home late every day?” asked Yang Ming.
“Yes, every day, she only leaves after nine o’clock.” The security guard nodded and answered.
“She is on her own?” After Yang Ming asked this question, he felt that it was unnecessary. He didn’t have to doubt Lin Zhiyun’s character at all. Let’s say that even if she were dating other men, she would not choose to do that in the company. Moreover, Lin Zhiyun was not such a person.
However, with the previous things with Sun Jie and Xiao Qing in the past, Yang Ming had some evil thoughts. Didn’t Sister Lin also have this indulgence in being a lesbian with a female staff? En, the best partner was Chen Mengyan. That would be great… Of course, this was obviously impossible. Yang Ming was just casually fantasizing.
It seemed that Lin Zhiyun was probably doing something that she didn’t want him to know about, but was important to her.
“En, Vice President Zhao leaves first every day, and other staff members also leave not long after.” The security guard replied truthfully.
“Okay, then you continue to work on your duty. You have worked hard. The safety of the company will be handed over to you!” Yang Ming patted the security guard’s shoulder and said with a smile.
The security guard nodded excitedly. Sometimes, with just one word of solicitude, they would feel that their jobs were meaningful and not ignored by others.
Yang Ming tiptoed upstairs and walked to the door of Lin Zhiyun’s vice president office.
Because the whole place was an open space at first, the manager’s office and the conference room were all partitioned later. The partitions were not made of walls but made of glass, which made it easy for the CEO to supervise the staff at any time.
Therefore, Yang Ming could stand outside and directly see the situation in the room. In fact, even if it were not glass, in terms of Yang Ming’s ability, x-ray vision was not a big deal.
He saw Lin Zhiyun sitting down at her desk with her head down, but with a thick pile of books and a notebook in front of her. She was recording something at the moment.
Yang Ming frowned. Could it be that there are so many things to deal with every day in this small jewelry company? Does she even need to work overtime to finish it? But why doesn’t Zhao Sisi and other employees stay here together?
Could it be that Lin Zhiyun looked easy to bully, and they gave all the work for her to do alone? But that is a little impossible after thinking about it. First, Zhao Sisi won’t do this. Second, even if there is work, it will be given to the employees to do. Lin Zhiyun did not need to do so.
Yang Ming carefully opened the glass door and walked up to Lin Zhiyun with beef noodles in his hand. It was an easy task for Yang Ming, a professional assassin, not to make any noise.
However, it was also possible that Lin Zhiyun was too invested. Yang Ming tried not to make any noise as much as possible, but because his pathway blocked the light of the fluorescent lamp when walking, it caused a change in the light and shadow of the room. If Lin Zhiyun were careful, she would definitely notice it, but Lin Zhiyun didn’t feel it at all.
“Zhiyun…” Yang Ming leaned down and whispered in Lin Zhiyun’s ear.
“Ah!” Lin Zhiyun was surprised. The pen that was initially used to write was not held properly. And it fell on the table with a “Pa” sound. “Yang Ming? Why are you here?”
After Lin Zhiyun finished, she remembered what she had just written on the table, so she closed the notebook helter-skelter, and wanted to pack up the things on the table.
“What are you writing?” In fact, when Yang Ming was standing behind Lin Zhiyun, he had already seen the contents of the book.
“No… nothing…” Lin Zhiyun blushed, and she replied in a little panic.
“Hehe, actually, even if you don’t say it, I have already seen it.” Yang Ming smiled and took Lin Zhiyun’s book that she wanted to hide. Lin Zhiyun was a little discouraged and shy. She lowered her head and did not stop Yang Ming. She just sat in the chair foolishly.
Yang Ming gently opened the notebook and started reading from the first page. What was written on it was all about the company’s operations. The records were very detailed, just like a diary. Every day, anything that others had said, Lin Zhiyun had recorded it in detail.
Of course, Lin Zhiyun records were words of others who had opinions and important suggestions for the company.
“Zhiyun, what are your intentions in recording these things?” Yang Ming wondered, not knowing that Lin Zhiyun recorded these things every day.
Lin Zhiyun pouted but didn’t talk. She looked down as if she had made a mistake.
Yang Ming didn’t know what happened to Lin Zhiyun. He quickly put the beef noodles he had bought aside, then reached out and hugged Lin Zhiyun from behind, “Zhiyun, what’s wrong?”
“I… Am I stupid…?” Lin Zhiyun lowered her head in a powerless way and said softly.
“Stupid? What do you mean? Who said you are stupid? How can you be stupid?” Yang Ming asked in a puzzled way, “Did anyone tell you off? Tell me. I will beat him until you don’t recognize him the next time you see him.”
“Hehe…” After Lin Zhiyun heard Yang Ming’s words, she finally couldn’t help but smile. She felt a lot better. She shook her head and said, “No. No one told me off. It is just my own feeling. I seem to be very stupid.”
“Why do you say that?” Yang Ming frowned, not knowing how Lin Zhiyun suddenly had such a thought.
Anyway, she couldn’t hide it from Yang Ming, and Lin Zhiyun knew that these things could not be hidden from him. So she made a big decision to talk about her worries. “Yang Ming, I noticed that I am really stupid. I don’t know anything about the company’s business. Looking at the employees who are skilled in their work and making suggestions for the company’s operations, I feel that I am useless. I am still the vice president, but I know nothing. I can’t do anything right. I can’t even match with Zhao Sisi. At least Zhao Sisi is in charge of the company’s publicity, but I cannot help!
Although everyone is very respectful and calls me Vice President Lin, I feel that I am like an idler! So… so I record everybody’s words and some business-related skills after work every day. I’m afraid that I will forget it after a long time, so I keep track of the work every day, and then summarize them…”
Yang Ming listened to Lin Zhiyun’s explanation, and he was immediately speechless. He didn’t know what to say. Yang Ming didn’t think so much at all when he had put Lin Zhiyun in the position of vice president. He just felt that she should have her own career as a woman, but he did not expect to give Lin Zhiyun such pressure!
Looking back now, it seemed that he was in a hurry. No matter what, Lin Zhiyun was only a 19-year-old freshman. How could she bear such a heavy burden?
“These books on business management are also used for self-study after work?” Yang Ming pointed to the thick textbook of management and management written by Philip Kotler [1] on the table.
“En…” Lin Zhiyun nodded lightly.
“Ai!” Yang Ming couldn’t help but be angry and amused. “Zhiyun, in fact, as a manager of a company, as long as the overall situation is all right, there is no need for anything. It’s just like the owner of a restaurant, he doesn’t need to know how to cook. This is the basis.”
“That is not the same… He doesn’t know how to cook, but he definitely understands the process of cooking and the materials and costs. I know that I don’t know how to make jewelry, but I have to understand the company’s operations. This is the basis.” Lin Zhiyun heard and retorted with conviction.
After Yang Ming listened, he was a little surprised! He didn’t expect Lin Zhiyun to be able to talk about these justifications. That meant that she was indeed making progress. Otherwise, it was impossible to say these well-founded words.
“Well, let’s consider that you are right, but you can’t just keep learning. Wouldn’t it wear out your body? This would distress me.” Yang Ming pinched Lin Zhiyun’s face and smiled. “Look at you. You’ve become thin…”
“You boys… don’t you all like girls who are thinner…” Lin Zhiyun spilled out all that had been worrying her all along, and she felt a lot better. The most important thing was that Yang Ming did not laugh at her, but he even advised her. This made Lin Zhiyun’s mood better, and she also chit-chatted with Yang Ming.
Yang Ming was surprised, and he said, “This is what you learned from other people in the company?”
“En… Today when the company’s Xiaotao talked about business with the client, this was said when they are joking around. I just remembered taking notes, and I thought about it…” Lin Zhiyun nodded embarrassingly.
“Hah, you didn’t learn well.” Yang Ming reached out and poked Lin Zhiyun’s head. “I like girls who are ampler, so it would feel better when I touch them…” Yang Ming then reached out to Lin Zhiyun’s chest.
“Hmph, stop fooling around. This is the office, and I am the vice president. It is inappropriate if others see this.” Lin Zhiyun jumped in fear and quickly pushed away Yang Ming’s hand.
“It is already so late. There is no one.” Yang Ming smiled and suddenly patted his head and exclaimed, “Right, I was busy talking. I bought beef noodles. If you don’t eat, it will be soaked and not tender any more!”
Yang Ming quickly opened the disposable lunch box with noodles, then set the side dish and handed the chopsticks to Lin Zhiyun. “Wow, it’s really fragrant. It just so happened that I didn’t eat anything. Let’s eat together!”
