Is this some kind of joke? Are sales support staff really that sought-after these days?
Yang Lihong suddenly felt his calves trembling. Lin Yao's identity was easy to explain; at worst, it would affect his relationship with Shang Wenge, earn a little less money, and impact the company's business.
But the two people behind him were introduced by people that Yang Lihong couldn't afford to offend, and they said that he would let them make all the arrangements.
Thinking back to how he offered to recruit Lin Yao in order to curry favor with Shang Wenge, he never expected to recruit an unstable element. Just thinking about how Lin Yao mentioned during their second meeting that he had disguised himself at Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant, he should understand that the other party's identity was very special. Otherwise, what kind of disguise would one need in this day and age, to make oneself completely unrecognizable?
It's all my fault for being too greedy! I have more money than I could spend in eight lifetimes, yet I still want to earn even more!
Yang Leehom suddenly felt an urge to slap himself twice.
"Welcome!" The voice was cold and icy, coming from Lin Yao's mouth, breaking the silence in the office.
Yang Lihong felt a little relieved and thought to himself that Xiao Lin was a good person, giving him a way out. He would ask Xiao Lin for his opinion later to see if he should move Xiao Lin away so that the three of them wouldn't get along. Even if he thought about it with his heels, he knew that the three of them didn't get along.
I heard that Xiao Lin has a good relationship with Zhou Xiaoqi in the finance department. Yes, let's transfer him to the finance department. But we need to consult Xiao Lin himself. If it works, he will get a raise immediately, double the amount. Consider it a reward for getting me out of this predicament.
"Thank you! My name is Sun Miao, and this is Pei Yuan. From now on, we'll be colleagues. Please take care of me!"
The second to react was Sun Miao, who walked to the front with a smile and bowed halfway to everyone. However, his smile was not as perfect as that of his ancestor, Sun Woxing, and Lin Yao could tell at a glance that he was very nervous.
"Chen Zhili, move to my left. Ming Xinyue, sit opposite Chen Zhili. You two give your seats to the two new colleagues." Lin Yao disregarded the presence of the boss, Yang Lihong, and exercised his maximum authority as the head of the internal affairs department to rearrange the office seating.
Although he wanted to see what the two people's purpose was, Lin Yao still didn't want them to sit near him; he didn't want to face those two faces all the time.
"Okay, Brother Lin." Chen Zhili was very sensible and immediately accepted the order.
Although Chen Zhili was the same age as Lin Yao, and even a few months older, he directly addressed Lin Yao as "Brother Lin." This showed his quick wit and made it clear who was the most important person here. He could tell at a glance that these two new colleagues were not simple, not simple at all.
"Ah~~ Oh~~" Ming Xinyue was a little surprised, then quickly realized that she should stay aligned with the internal staff at this time. Before the new colleagues had truly integrated into the group, the original eight internal staff members were a cohesive unit, and they needed to unite against external forces.
Just by looking at the arrogance of that tall, strong young man and the hypocrisy of his charming smile when he greeted people, Ming Xinyue felt that there was something going on.
Comparatively, she admired Lin Yao more, even though this guy shamelessly made jokes about her all the time.
"Alright, you'll be working together from now on. Get to know each other well. I'll have the HR and General Affairs departments arrange positions for the two new employees and also ask them to bring their computers and office supplies."
Yang Lihong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly said a few words that were inconsistent with his status as the company's boss, turned around and walked out the door. After leaving the door, he sighed deeply, wiped the sweat that had begun to bloom on his forehead, and felt a little regretful and worried.
If he had known this would happen, he would never have invited Lin Yao to work at his company when he was at Quanjude. The power behind these two young men is something he can't afford to offend at all; he's terrified just thinking about it.
"Please sit down." Lin Yao waved to Pei Yuan and Sun Miao, gesturing for them to sit on the stools next to the photocopier.
"Cai Na will be responsible for training Pei Yuan from now on, and Zong Ping will be responsible for training Sun Miao. I hope you can teach them their jobs as soon as possible." Lin Yao continued to make arrangements, pushing the two newcomers to the two international department staff he disliked the most. He thought to himself that even if they were to cause trouble, they should go to the international department. The domestic department should still remain pure.
The reason why the task wasn't given to Zhu Youmei was that, although Zhu Youmei always bickered with Xiang Honglian, Lin Yao wasn't particularly averse to her. So, since the two men were destined to have no future together, they weren't allowed to ruin Zhu Youmei's life.
Pei Yuan hadn't moved at first, but after Sun Miao nudged him with his elbow, he sat down with him, looking like a wooden doll with no life. The only sign of life was in his eyes, which were full of fighting spirit, but the female office workers thought it was cool.
"You guys familiarize yourselves with the work first, I'll go to the general affairs department to urge them on." Lin Yao left, he was going to find Yang Lihong to ask what was going on.

Lin Yao's attempt to contact Yang Lihong, the boss of Hongyuan Company, was of course fruitless.
Yang Leehom dismissed Lin Yao with a simple "Just like you, someone greeted me," preventing him from obtaining more detailed information.
Yes, just like himself, Pei Yuan and Sun Miao have even more special identities. If they want to find a few people that Yang Lihong can't afford to offend, it's as easy as raising their eyelids.
In this respect, Lin Yao's own backing seemed rather weak, because Shang Wenge was merely the head of the Ministry of Foreign Trade. For Yang Lihong, a businessman, although it was necessary to curry favor with such a powerful figure and he could gain great benefits, it would only increase his profits. Even if he did not curry favor with Shang Wenge, he would not be unable to do foreign trade business.
Lin Yao didn't know who Pei Yuan and Sun Miao had found, but he could guess with a grain of salt that it wasn't someone like Shang Wenge, who was lucky if you got along with him and wouldn't be seriously hurt if you didn't. He figured the people those two had found must be even more frightening to Yang Lihong.
With this in mind, Lin Yao didn't press Yang Lihong too much. He casually said, "I'll arrange their work. You don't need to worry about it," and left the chairman and general manager's office.
This society is not only governed by the rule of law, but also by the rule of men!
Sometimes, rule by man is more crucial than rule of law. This can be seen from the vastly different standards of punishment and handling in national laws. For example, the penalty for violating a certain regulation ranges from 3,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan. The huge difference in the determination and punishment of these penalties is still in the hands of people.
When you want to condemn someone, you can always find a pretext; similarly, when you want to pardon someone, you can always find a pretext. Any excuse, whether it's about attitude, nature, or social impact, can send someone from hell to heaven, or from heaven to hell.
Having figured this out, Lin Yao also understood Yang Leehom's behavior and felt a little sympathetic towards him.
Ordinary people, even big bosses who seem glamorous in public and own mansions and luxury cars, are as vulnerable as lambs in front of some powerful people. So they don't live an easy life. They are always on guard, always worried that one day they might inadvertently offend someone or displease someone, causing unexpected disaster or even being cast into hell from which they can never recover.
The common people are truly suffering!
Lin Yao suddenly had an epiphany. He stood blankly in the corridor outside the chairman's office, his mind replaying Xiang Honglian's experiences, Chen Zhili's struggles and hard work, Zhu Youmei and Gu Panpan's scheming for their future, Xiang Honglian's father suffering because of his daughter's disaster, Chen Shiwei losing his filial piety after finding a wife, regaining his mother-son bond after being left with nothing, the impact of Xia Yuwen's childhood hardships on her entire life, Fei Wenni's relentless struggle to go from luxury to frugality, and his own family's struggle to survive amidst the storms of life...
Everything. It makes this mundane world rich and colorful, with joys and sorrows, sweetness and bitterness, all kinds of flavors and situations intertwined, making it hard to tell whether it's good or bad, whether to be grateful for coming into this world, or to sigh that one cannot change being human in this life.
Lin Yao didn't know how long he had been standing there. It wasn't until the finance manager, who was supposed to come to report occasionally, appeared in the corridor that he snapped out of his daze. He then turned into the general affairs department, greeted Xiao Zhang, the clerk in charge of arranging new employee affairs, and went back to his office downstairs.
"How can you do your job? Drinking at noon will affect your work in the afternoon! Did you come to the company just to drink? If you like drinking so much, why don't you go to a separate unit?"
Lin Yao had just walked up the stairs to the 21st floor and hadn't even entered the company gate when he heard someone inside shouting and cursing. The voice was clearly Wang Sheng's, and the person being scolded was obviously Xiang Honglian, because only she would reek of alcohol.
Although Wang Sheng was the head of the International Trade Department, and theoretically had no jurisdiction over the domestic logistics department, his job was special. He was responsible not only for overseas business but also for participating in contract manufacturing, allocating and distributing goods from domestic production sites, and distributing imported goods to domestic customers.
