230: Chapter 230: Sister Can Cook Too 230: Chapter 230: Sister Can Cook Too For Lin Fei, agreeing to join Ling Weiwei after the fellowship and taste her cooking at her home was a no-brainer.
A fool would have said no!
If Ling Weiwei hadn’t brought it up herself this time, Lin Fei almost forgot about the bet made during the previous executive meeting.
Luckily, Ling Weiwei remembered.
Otherwise, he, Lin the Great, would have missed the perfect opportunity to spend a beautiful night with the lovely Minister Ling Weiwei, complete with fine wine and delicious food.
“It doesn’t matter what we eat, the important thing is having you there.” In front of the emotionally persuasive Lin the Great, Ling Weiwei was clearly on the verge of giving in.
If not for the fact that outside there was a group of female staffers from the General Affairs Department waiting for her decision, and could barge in any moment to get updates, Ling Weiwei might have taken the initiative with Lin Fei.
“Boss, you really understand the brothers’ hearts.
I’m going to call them right now.
Don’t worry about the fellowship event.
Our Security Team Two will definitely not lose face in front of those General Affairs women.”
At the Moongaze Building’s first-floor lobby, Lin Fei had been slightly unsure whether the security guards from Team Two would be interested in socializing with the General Affairs women.
Seeing the excited look on the duty guard’s face, he was reassured.
And delegating the responsibility meant Xiao Yina simply forgot about her immediate superior, causing Lin the Great to come down for lunch himself.
Mu Group has its own company canteen that serves staff lunches.
Although not exceptionally delicious, there’s plenty of variety to satisfy most people.
“When we meet again next time, can you be a bit more reserved?”
“What, you’re tired of me already?”
“Brother Luo, just so you know, our Security Department has a large management group.
Manager Guo, Manager Zhang from the field operations, and the managers from the other five teams, both internal and external, are all in the group.”
Without further ado, Xu Pingliang pulled Lin Fei into the group, looked around, and whispered, “Besides this big management group, for daily communication convenience, I’ve created a smaller group for our internal office.
I’ll add you now, just remember not to tell anyone else.”
Right when Xu Pingliang added Lin Fei to the small management group, Guo Haipeng, the head of the Security Department’s large management group, took the initiative to send a welcome red envelope to Lin Fei in the larger group.
After the welcome red envelope, Guo Haipeng immediately followed with another red envelope acknowledging Lin Fei as a talented young manager.
“In the past, when a new manager has joined a team, Manager Guo never welcomed them with red envelopes like he did today.”
Reflecting on this, Xu Pingliang then sent three red envelopes to Lin Fei in the large management group, “Brother Luo, now that our misunderstanding is cleared, both emotionally and logically, I should send you more red envelopes.
Please, don’t be polite.
Just accept them all.”
In the moments Xu Pingliang spoke, the large management group was overwhelmed by welcome red envelopes from the field manager and the other five team managers.
“How come they are all two hundred?
Too kind, too kind, you make me really embarrassed,” Lin Fei said, but considering his strained financial situation (owing Shanshan over a hundred thousand), he welcomed all the red envelopes that came his way.
Seeing Lin Fei had accepted all his red envelopes, Xu Pingliang nodded in satisfaction, “That’s how it should be, Brother Luo.
Now that you’re in the group, you’re family.
The red envelopes are just a small token, please don’t be shy—take as many as you get.”
After speaking, Xu Pingliang immediately sent another welcome red envelope to Lin Fei in the smaller internal office group.
Seeing this, the managers of Internal Teams One and Two each sent one as well.
“Ah, Manager Zhang is really too kind.”
As Lin Fei was on a roll collecting red envelopes, keeping in mind that Xu Pingliang had indeed caused some trouble for Team Three, he feigned a lament, “He’s sent me four red envelopes, one more than you, Manager Xu.
It’s like I’m the manager of their field operations.
Manager Xu, what do you think Manager Zhang is implying?
Could it be he wants to transfer me to the field operations like you transferred our Team Three members?”
“Ha ha, Brother Luo, you’re joking.
Old Zhang is really competitive,” Xu Pingliang said with a twitch of his eyelids, then hastily sent two more red envelopes in the large management group.
“Manager Xu, you’re really generous.
With all these red envelopes you’ve sent me, there’s no way I’d move to the field operations.
After all, I’ve spent quite some time in the internal office, and I really feel attached to it.”
After making some perfunctory polite remarks, Lin Fei frowned, “However, I just counted, and the field operations have sent me two more red envelopes than our internal office.
How can I possibly feel okay about that?”
“I just don’t like it, every time we meet, that you .
