After sleeping for three days and three nights, Lin Fan finally regained his vitality.
But I'm still lazy and don't like to move. I don't know if it's the aftereffect of my previous serious overspending.
She walked into the cafeteria in her flip-flops, clacking away. She didn't go to get food, but found an empty table to sit at. She slumped down on the table, as if she had no bones and didn't want to move.
It was unknown how long it took before Wang Fengfeng found her.
"Hey? Why are you alone? Where's Angkor?"
He looked around but didn't see anyone. Normally, Father Wu would not be too far away from Lin Fan.
"He has something going on at home, so he's been back for a few days." Lin Fan turned his face away from the table with difficulty.
"Are you hungry? Wait, I'll get you something to eat." Wang Fengfeng was shocked when he saw Lin Fan like this.
As far as I can remember, she didn't seem so listless when she first came to the Special Affairs Office.
He quickly took out some high-calorie foods and stuffed them into Lin Fan's hands.
"Thank you." Lin Fan didn't want to move, but didn't want to disappoint Wang Fengfeng's kindness. He staggered to his feet and slowly put the food into his mouth.
"What's going on?" Wang Fengfeng thought, "Pregnant women tend to get tired easily." No, no, no, if Lin Fan knew, he'd beat him to death. "Have you been to the medical department?"
"I've been there. They said I was too lazy before and it backfired." Lin Fan slowly recounted the last mission.
Compared to Ban Hai's joy, Wen Ji's face looked very ugly.
Although he was serious before, he was still polite to Lin Fan. This time, seeing Lin Fan's deathly look, he scolded her without any hesitation.
The human body has limited energy. If it is excessively consumed, it will only hurt yourself in the end.
It's not a matter of life and death, why make it so painful?
Lin Fan had also suffered enough. He nodded, admitted his mistake, and promised not to do it again.
I was so focused on doing my best to finish the job, but I didn't realize that too much is worse than too little. This kind of full-load work, especially at sea, would have such a huge impact on me.
You must control yourself and allocate your time reasonably in the future!
Only after several assurances did Wen Ji let her go.
But in this situation, there seems to be no good solution except to raise the baby slowly.
Wen Ji called Zhu Cunjun directly and forbade him in a very serious tone to assign her any more tasks before Lin Fan fully recovered.
Whether it's Lin Fan or Xingchen, if their bodies collapse, everything will be over. They must exercise restraint and moderation!
After being criticized by Wen Ji, Zhu Cunjun even went to Lin Fan's office to see her.
Seeing her dying appearance, I couldn't bear it, so I went back and applied for an extra bonus for her.
"Oh, I understand." Wang Fengfeng sipped the apple-flavored drink in his hand. "It's just like when we stay up all night, then rest for a few days, and still feel uncomfortable. You're exaggerating the effect."
"Yeah, it's a bit like staying up all night in an internet cafe." Lin Fan felt a little better after eating. "I didn't know it was so amazing. The Xingchen has a 20-hour standby time, so I only use it for 20 hours. Who knew..."
"You're a human being! You need to rest!" Wang Fengfeng slapped his head, speechless. "Even machines need rest after running for a long time. How can you not get hurt by running at full speed? Speaking of which, you're a long-time office worker. It's impossible for you to take a break from your busy schedule, right?"
"How can it be the same?" Lin Fan raised his eyes. "When it comes to making money, it doesn't matter if it's done sooner or later. My mission is related to the interests of the G family. What if it causes losses if I'm late? How dare I slack off?"
"You're just putting too much pressure on yourself." Wang Fengfeng knew she was still a novice, completely clueless, so she was very attentive, fearing any delays. "I was the same when I first came in. I had no idea what was going on, and I was afraid that if I stopped, I'd miss something important."
"What happened next?" Lin Fan asked with interest.
"Later, as time went on, I realized that a mission isn't just about one person; it's the result of everyone's cooperation." Wang Fengfeng took a big bite of the fried chicken next to him. "You too, Xingchen is amazing and the main force, but the people on the ship can also do the search, they're just slower."
"But after you went there, a perfectly good J-ship was turned directly into your supply ship. I'm not saying they'll have any objections, I'm just saying you need to learn to let go. Don't take all the responsibilities on yourself. Try to let others share some of the burden."
Lin Fan seemed to understand what he heard.
"You must have been holding back when you couldn't bear it, right? You didn't tell my brother, Wu Ken, either." Wang Fengfeng had a look of expectation on his face. "Those people on the boat don't know what's going on with you. If they knew you were in this state, they would have stopped you long ago. You have to learn to rely on others. No matter how powerful Xingchen is, you are still a human being after all."
There is no way John Woo didn't notice Lin Fan's situation.
Wang Fengfeng guessed that the reason why he didn't say anything or stop him was that he wanted Lin Fan to suffer and learn a lesson.
After all, no matter how many times others say it, it is not as good as experiencing it yourself once and feeling it deeply.
Overprotection is not a good thing for Lin Fan. On the contrary, this lesson will make her grow faster.
After listening to Wang Fengfeng's words, Lin Fan felt that they made sense.
She thought of what Wen Ji said, that she could not take any more missions until she fully recovered.
What if there's a more urgent task at this moment that requires her? Wouldn't that delay things even more?
Because of the unique properties of the stars, Lin Fan has always wanted to use all his skills when completing tasks.
Now it seems that this is not feasible, as it is a bit like being too concerned with the beginning and not the end.
And if I overemphasize my abilities, wouldn't that also affect others?
Lin Fan ate silently, thinking and reflecting.
Wang Fengfeng didn't know what she was thinking, and didn't say anything harsh.
Seeing her expression of surprise, he told her some gossip to cheer her up. He also went with her to get food, chatting and laughing, which made Lin Fan feel less frustrated.
When John Woo is away, time seems to stretch extra long.
Within two days, Lin Fan had recovered almost completely. She was feeling a bit uncomfortable staying at the Special Affairs Office, so on a whim, she decided to go shopping alone.
After coming out of the RiRiHong elevator and greeting the receptionist, Lin Fan walked out alone with his head held high.
But this state didn't last long. She soon discovered that Ri Ri Hong was too remote and she couldn't find a car on the road...
After walking for a while, she finally saw a taxi. She quickly waved to stop it and asked the driver to take her to the nearest subway station.
The driver's expression… he really wanted to refuse. But refusing would result in a complaint, so he could only flip down the empty car sign in a bad mood.
Lin Fan doesn't care about that.
The Gaohe subway is well-connected and fast. Aside from the crowds, sometimes it can be a bit crowded if you don't get on it, but overall, it's more convenient than a taxi.
She didn't have a specific destination and changed trains at will. Finally, she was attracted by the smell of food in the subway and entered an old shopping mall.
Lin Fan hadn't acted alone for a long time, and it felt pretty good.
I was having a great time strolling around and eating when I heard a commotion ahead.
The instinct to join in the fun took over, and she ran with the crowd, seeing a group of people blocking the stairs.
She thought something had happened, but when she pushed through the crowd, she saw an old man fallen at the bottom of the stairs, his eyes closed and blood coming out of the back of his head.
But the people nearby gathered in a circle, whispering to each other and taking pictures with their phones, but no one came forward.
Lin Fan frowned as he watched the bright red blood flowing more and more. He squeezed in and squatted beside the old man, trying to save him.
"Hey~ girl, you'd better think it through! Your family has no mine, and our boss can't support us!" someone said.
Lin Fan knew that this person had good intentions, but she couldn't bear to watch it happen.
Besides, even though her family didn't have any mines, they had plenty of money, so they weren't afraid of being blackmailed.
"It's okay. Aren't you guys recording my screen? We still have to believe that there are many good people in the world." She smiled and asked for help, "Does anyone have a scarf, handkerchief, bandage or something? I can put pressure on his wound to stop the bleeding first."
I looked around and no one offered it.
Just as Lin Fan was wondering what to do, a white triangular scarf with a fresh crease was handed to him.
She took it and wanted to bandage the old man, but because she had no training in this area, she didn't know how to start.
Finally, the triangular bandage was taken away again, and someone squatted next to the old man and wrapped it up for him skillfully.
Only when the blood stopped flowing out did Lin Fan breathe a sigh of relief and look up at the person who had given him a helping hand.
"It's you?!" she was shocked.
The person who was helping her bandage the wound was the red-haired young man who had asked her for directions at the City God Temple before.
He was obviously surprised to see Lin Fan and said to her with a smile.
"What a coincidence. I didn't get a chance to introduce myself to you last time, so let's get to know each other formally this time. My name is Antonio Madden."
I asked you to guess before, but no one paid attention. Sigh. Now that he has revealed himself, does anyone remember who he is?
