222: Chapter 222: Who Is It Really?
After hanging up the phone, Xu Pingliang, who let out a sigh of relief, took out two packs of good cigarettes from his bag and placed them on Guo Haipeng’s desk.
“Director Guo, I really didn’t know Lin Fei’s background was so solid.
If I had known he was General Mu’s guy, I wouldn’t have dared to mess with him even if you loaned me the courage!
This time, no matter what, you have to pull me out of this mess.
Could you guide me on what to do next?”
“Actually, if we’re really talking about it, it’s not entirely your fault.
As far as I’m concerned, all of this started because of your internal affairs team three and its original supervisor, Wang Minghui.”
Guo Haipeng’s expression softened slightly due to the two packs of cigarettes Xu Pingliang had brought.
He gestured for Xu Pingliang to take a seat.
“If it hadn’t been for his initial confrontations with Lin Fei, none of this mess would have followed.
So, as for Wang Minghui, he must not be allowed to appear in the hotel anymore.”
“I won’t hide it from you, Director Guo.
If it hadn’t been for Wang Minghui stirring up trouble from the start, I wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to target Lin Fei.”
Xu Pingliang, realizing Guo Haipeng’s intent to have Wang Minghui take the fall, immediately patted his chest and assured him, “I’ll head to the HR department right now and get them to formally dismiss Wang Minghui.
He’s going to leave next month anyway, and with the disgusting things he’s done during his tenure, I doubt he’d dare to be dissatisfied.”
“Good, that’s even better.
As for the new supervisor of internal affairs team three, I’ve already recommended Lin Fei in front of General Mu.
I’ve also given a heads-up to Director Xing.
When you go to see HR, remember to make a clear statement as well.”
At this point, Guo Haipeng emphasized his tone, reminding Xu Pingliang, “Remember, be firm in your tone and tell HR that it has to be Lin Fei!”
“Understood, I’m heading to the HR department now.”
After taking a few steps away, Xu Pingliang seemed to remember something and turned back to Guo Haipeng’s desk, speaking hesitantly, “Director Guo, do you think we should add Lin Fei to our management group chat?”
“That’s something important; I would have forgotten if you hadn’t mentioned it.”
Guo Haipeng slapped his forehead and immediately made a statement, “After you finish up at HR, don’t delay and go find Lin Fei immediately.
I don’t care how you do it, whether you coerce him or plead with him, you must add Lin Fei as a friend.
Once you’ve added him, include him in our management group chat at the earliest opportunity.”
Having received Guo Haipeng’s affirmative response, Xu Pingliang naturally did not delay any further and got up to leave.
“Supervisor Luo, before I was foolish and listened only to Wang Minghui’s side of the story, I did something to wrong you.
To make amends, I’ve already had HR dismiss Wang Minghui.
From now on, I absolutely will not interfere with the affairs of team three, everything will be up to you.”
Xu Pingliang’s attitude in trying to add Lin Fei as a friend was extremely deferential, almost pleading, “Supervisor Luo, let’s let bygones be bygones, forgive me this once and let me add you as a friend, I’m begging you, isn’t that enough?
As long as you agree to add me as a friend, we’re colleagues during work and brothers after hours.
You wouldn’t deny your older brother this kindness, would you, Brother Luo?”
“Manager Xu, you’re taking this too seriously.
Since you’ve said you only believed Wang Minghui’s side of the story, there’s no misunderstanding between us.
Since there’s no misunderstanding, what’s the harm in adding each other as friends?”
Lin Fei, knowing the “reminder” text message had worked, couldn’t help but yield to Xu Pingliang’s persistent wheedling.
Tired of the prolonged back and forth, he simply took out his phone and accepted Xu Pingliang’s friend request.
