250 Arriving at Penguin’s Branch; Hello, Mr. Lin!
The next morning.
A breeze blew the branches gently.
A ray of sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains and onto the balcony.
Lin Fan finally opened his eyes.
He first casually glanced at his phone and saw a text message appear on the screen.
[Notice from Merchant Bank: 3,670,000 yuan was deposited into your account.]
“Sign in!”
[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve obtained Jiuzhou Bar.]
Lin Fan muttered, “A bar? What’s the use of giving it to me?
“Forget it. It’s better than ten million yuan.”
Then, Lin Fan slowly got up.
After washing up, he picked up the bread that had already been baked automatically and put it into his mouth. He then chewed on Wagyu beef, Australian lobster, crab, eggs, lettuce, and other food.
Although the ingredients were relatively simple, the taste was not bad.
Lin Fan was satisfied with the food.
After breakfast, Lin Fan went to the lake and watered all the sprouts. Then, he drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class toward the Jiangbei branch of Penguin Group.
Compared to the short sports car and the Rolls-Royce Phantom driven by a driver… Lin Fan liked the sturdy and tall SUV Mercedes-Benz G-Class even more.
As it was Monday, there were many cars on the road, and many sections were congested… Lin Fan was not in a hurry and continued to move forward at a constant speed.
He arrived at his destination at around 10:30 in the morning.
Lin Fan parked the car and walked in.
At this moment, a man in a checkered shirt slowly walked out of the beverage room beside the door with a cup of coffee.
When he saw Lin Fan, he exclaimed, “Lin Fan?”
That was right!
This man was Lin Fan’s high school classmate, Shen Liang.
After graduation, this was the third time Lin Fan had seen him.
The first time was at a class reunion in Jiangbei.
At that time, Shen Liang was considered one of the friendliest people to Lin Fan.
After that, when their homeroom teacher was hospitalized, Shen Liang was one of the few people who specially rushed back to Qing City.
In addition, Lin Fan and Shen Liang had a good relationship in high school.
Overall, Lin Fan had a good impression of Shen Liang.
“Lin Fan, why did you come to our company?” Shen Liang asked.
The last time they met, Shen Liang had also mentioned that he was working in IT.
Lin Fan did not expect him to be working in IT at Penguin.
Did that not mean that Shen Liang was his employee?
“Isn’t this Penguin Group?” Lin Fan asked. “I’m here for a stroll.”
Regarding this…
Shen Liang was not too surprised.
This was because Penguin Group was a giant company in Hua Nation that had established its own online empire.
In the past, many people could not help but run in to take a look when they passed by.
“Since you’re already in our company, I’ll be your guide!” Shen Liang said with a smile.
“Alright!” Lin Fan agreed immediately.
Even though he had already agreed to meet with President Ma…
He had not seen President Ma just yet.
He would just take a stroll first… It was nothing.
“By the way, do you want a cup of coffee?” Shen Liang asked again. “I think it tastes similar to Starbucks.”
After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Lin Fan’s reply and walked into the beverage room.
As soon as they walked into the beverage room, they were greeted by the rich aroma of coffee.
Shen Liang skillfully poured a cup of coffee from the coffee machine and handed it to Lin Fan.
Then, he pointed at the various snacks piled up on the wall cabinet in the distance and said, “Is there anything you want to eat? You can take whatever you want. It’s all free.”
“Then give me a packet of QQ candy,” said Lin Fan.
“I didn’t expect you to like this!” Shen Liang said with a smile.
Then, Shen Liang brought Lin Fan inside and said, “This is the design department. Many of the news photos come from here.
“This is the news department. There are many editors here.
“This is the gaming department… The people in this department have the highest salary.”
When Shen Liang said this, his face revealed a thick look of envy.
“That’s our marketing department.”
…
Shen Liang introduced as he walked. Lin Fan nodded his head.
The two of them were chatting and laughing. When they reached the corner, Shen Liang accidentally bumped into someone.
When he raised his head, his entire body seemed to have been frozen.
The person he hit… He was wearing a black suit and had short hair. He was the IT director of the Jiangbei branch of Penguin Group!
Beside the IT director stood the general manager, deputy chief supervisor, and many other top figures… The chairman of Penguin Group, Mr. Ma, was surrounded by them!
These people… They were actually together!
He had actually bumped into them?
Moreover… it was during working hours!
Shen Liang only felt his head buzzing, and his entire face began to turn slightly pale.
Penguin Group was the largest company in Hua Nation’s internet industry. At the same time, it was also one of the few companies with the best treatment…
Countless people fought to enter Penguin.
Back then, Shen Liang also spent a lot of effort to obtain this opportunity.
Now… he was afraid there would not be anything left.
At this moment, President Ma, who was surrounded by people, smiled and said, “Mr. Lin, when did you arrive? Why didn’t you tell me? I could’ve picked you up at the door!”
As he spoke, President Ma took the initiative to extend his right hand toward Lin Fan.
Lin Fan reached out his hand and shook it gently.
This scene not only stunned Shen Liang but also the general manager, director, and department head.
The general manager, director, and the others had learned from President Ma not long ago that a very important guest would be coming over later.
In their opinion, the guest who was called a very important guest by President Xiao Ma must be at least 30 to 40 years old.
Some people even started to guess if it was President Li.
In the end, it turned out to be a young man who looked to be in his 20s?
After meeting Lin Fan for the second time, Shen Liang knew that Lin Fan was a godly tycoon with a lot of connections.
However…
He had never thought that Lin Fan would know President Ma!
After all, there were too many tycoons in Hua Nation.
However, how many people were there who could really interact with Xiao Ma?
What was the situation now?
Not only did President Ma know Lin Fan, but he even took the initiative to greet him and shake his hand. He was even willing to go out and welcome him personally?
This…
This…
Who exactly was Lin Fan?
Lin Fan smiled. “I just met a friend. He brought me around, so I didn’t tell you.”
“Oh?” President Ma said. “Your friend?”
Then, he extended his right hand toward Shen Liang and said, “Hello, I’m Xiao Ma. How should I address you?”
President Ma took the initiative to greet him, shake his hand, and ask for his name?
Shen Liang felt his heart almost jump out of his chest. He said excitedly, “Shen Liang, my name is Shen Liang!”
Then, he stretched out his hands and held onto President Ma’s right hand tightly.
