Chapter 18 I have something to ask of you

"Who is it?" Lin Yao opened the door. "Hi!" Qian Pingtao stood outside the door stiffly, dragging his suitcase. "Wrong door!" "Is Duoduo there?" He looked inside. Qian Duoduo heard it, put down the bowl, ran out and rushed towards him, "Dad! Dad!" The greasy hands that had just picked up the chicken wings rubbed against his white shirt. "Be careful, be careful with your hands!" He hugged the person to his upper body, "Does it hurt?" "No." Lin Yao frowned and deliberately raised his voice, "Qian Duoduo, come in, you left your slippers outside!" Qian Duoduo ignored him. Qian Pingtao told him that he would be away on business for a month, and he suddenly came back in the middle of the trip, surprised and excited. "Is there something wrong? Why are you here?" Long Weihe asked from the entrance. "Duoduo was injured, and I was worried, so I took a last-minute leave to come back and see him. I came here right after I got off the plane and waited at your place for a while. I guessed you were here." "Duoduo, go finish your meal." He was still clingy. "Dad, have you eaten yet?" "No." "Let's eat together." "No." "Come in and eat together!" He slid off him, reckless, and pulled him in with one hand. Qian Pingtao reluctantly glanced at Lin Yao's face. "No rice!" Lin Yao said coldly. "Yes! You just urged me to eat more, saying it would be a waste if I cooked too much rice. You can share what's in my bowl with Dad." "No vegetables!" "Yes! Plenty of vegetables." He glanced at the table. "Sister, just give Dad some rice. You're so generous, generous sister. Please, sister..." If any adult was respectful, it would be time to leave. He actually said nothing, letting Qian Duoduo make his arrangements. Lin Yao glanced at Long Weihe. Qian Duoduo followed her gaze and said, "Mom, I want to eat with Dad." "This isn't your home, you can't make the decision." Long Weihe's face darkened. Qian Duoduo stopped pleading, his lips curled, his eyes sparkling. "Oh, come in, come in." Lin Yao felt Qian Duoduo's pity and moved aside to let him in, pulling a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and dropping them in front of him with a clatter. She had vowed not to eat with him. When they were good together, she thought Qian Pingtao would never cheat on her, which made her view men through a filter now. He pulled his suitcase in and squatted down to unpack it. "I brought you some things. I bought them at the airport," he said, pulling out a bunch of skincare products and placing them on the sideboard. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, hurry up and eat. I need to wash the dishes." Lin Yao turned and went into the kitchen to serve him rice. She angrily piled a bowl full, then thought for a moment and angrily scraped off a spoonful. ...

"Who?" Lin Yao opened the door.

"Hi!" Qian Pingtao stood outside the door stiffly, dragging his suitcase.

"Wrong door!"

"Is Duoduo here?" He looked inside.

Qian Duoduo heard it, put down the bowl, ran out and rushed towards him, "Dad! Dad!" His greasy hands that had just picked up the chicken wings rubbed against his white shirt.

"Be careful, be careful with your hands!" He held the man up, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

Lin Yao frowned and deliberately raised his voice, "Qian Duoduo, come in! You left your slippers outside!"

Qian Duoduo ignored him. Qian Pingtao told him that he would be away on business for a month, and he suddenly came back in the middle of the trip, which made him feel surprised and excited.

"Is there something wrong? Why are you here?" Long Weihe asked at the entrance.

"Duoduo was injured, and I was worried, so I took a temporary leave and came back to see him. I came here as soon as I got off the plane and waited for a while at your place. I guess you are here."

"Duoduo, go finish your meal."

He was still clingy, "Dad, have you eaten?"

"No."

"Let's eat together."

"No."

"Come in and eat together!" He slid down from him, regardless of anything, and pulled the man in with one hand.

Qian Pingtao reluctantly agreed and looked at Lin Yao's expression.

"No food!" Lin Yao said coldly.

"Yes! You just forced me to eat more, saying that if I cooked too much rice, it would be a waste if I couldn't finish it. You can share the rice in my bowl with Dad."

“No food!”

"Yes! There are so many dishes." He looked at the dining table, "Sister, please give my dad some food. You are so generous, generous sister, please, sister..."

If an adult were respectable, he would have left at this point. He actually said nothing and let Qian Duoduo arrange everything.

Lin Yao glanced at Long Weihe.

Qian Duoduo followed her gaze and said, "Mom, I want to have dinner with Dad."

"This is not your home, you can't make the decision." Long Weihe's face gloomy.

Qian Duoduo stopped begging, his lips began to turn down, and his eyes sparkled.

"Hey, come in, come in."

Lin Yao felt sorry for Qian Duoduo, so he moved aside to let him in, took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and threw them in front of him with a "click".

She had sworn not to eat with him. When they were good together before, she thought that even among all the men in the world, Qian Pingtao would never cheat, which made her look at men with a filter.

He pulled the suitcase in, squatted down and unpacked it, "I brought you some things, bought at the airport." As he spoke, he took out a bunch of skin care products and put them on the cabinet next to him.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, hurry up and eat, I need to wash the dishes."

Lin Yao turned and went into the kitchen to serve him some rice. He angrily piled a bowl full of it, then thought about it and scraped off another spoonful of it angrily.

He sat down at the table, glanced at Long Weihe, and hesitated, "I'm really hungry. I didn't eat the plane meal, and I missed two meals because I was in a hurry."

Seeing how nervous he was about Qian Duoduo, Long Weihe didn't frown anymore. She took the half-eaten bowl from the table and went into the kitchen. Lin Yao followed her in and closed the kitchen door.

"I, Lin Yao, cook for Qian Pingtao! He is so shameless." Lin Yao threw several bowls into the dishwasher. His hands were a bit heavy, and they made a loud "clang" sound.

She always felt that Long Weihe was too soft-hearted, that he was using his money as leverage, and that sooner or later he would pry Long Weihe back. But even though she scolded him, she never intervened or offered advice on matters of the heart.

The diners ate for about ten minutes and then left, saying they would be returning to Singapore the day after tomorrow. They asked if they could pick Qian Duoduo up the next day. Just then, the hospital's HR director called to say the boss was pleased with Yan Bin and needed a background check to confirm his intention to join the company. Long Weihe was in high spirits and agreed.

She was in the room calling Yan Bin to give him feedback on the interview, and Lin Yao chased her out and stopped the people who were waiting for the elevator after finishing their meal.

"Hey, you ate my food, you should do some work for me."

He became interested and walked back a few steps from the elevator. "You tell me, tell me."

"I heard you got a promotion, right?"

"I just got transferred to another position."

"Can you reach Leon?"

This Leon is the big boss of KG Asia Region. It was he who made the last-minute decision to cancel the position that Shi Zhenglin interviewed for and not recruit from outside. Three months later, he transferred someone in charge of the Japanese market to fill that position.

The China region boss, who had a good relationship with Shi Zhenglin at the time, couldn't explain why Leon suddenly stopped recruiting outside, and he was even transferred to Singapore. They knew KG's personnel structure and decision-making style at the time, and they suspected something was fishy. They didn't know the current China region boss, Qian Pingtao's superior, and they couldn't reach him.

“Cross-regional, it’s not possible right now, there aren’t many opportunities for contact.”

He told the truth.

"No matter what, you've eaten, so you have to do some work. Try to figure out why he eliminated the VP position for China two years ago and refused to hire an outsider."

"We've already inquired with some people about this, but we couldn't find out. It's normal for a big boss to change his mind about hiring. It's not like you haven't worked for KG before."

At that time, their relationship was good, and Long Weihe asked him to spy on people internally, but his level was not high enough, so he didn't find anything.

"I thought you had some power after your promotion, but there are still a few levels between you! You can't reach it! I see, that's all you can do. I understand." She provoked him.

"You, you're saying such harsh things now. Don't you think about who recruited you to KG in the first place? They gave you a job, and now they're eating your food, and you're still slandering me."

At that time, Long Wei had been in KG for a year, and Qian Pingtao was pursuing her. He helped her recruit the recent graduate Lin Yao.

"You were a bootlicker back then, you knelt down to Long Weihe, helping her do this to please her, with ulterior motives. I truly regret it. If I had known you'd betrayed her after she'd gotten you, I, Lin Yao, would have been unemployed for the rest of my life, starving to death on the streets, rather than letting Long Weihe help me out and earning a living from you!"

Qian Pingtao's face turned green with anger.

She turned around and slammed the door shut, cursing him in her heart for being a good-for-nothing who only did useless things and couldn't help at all.

After Long Weihe hung up on Yan Bin, she said, "The recruiter has given him feedback. He said he needs two weeks to think about it."

"Two weeks? I doubt it." Lin Yao forked a piece of apple to her. She hadn't even finished her meal yet.

"For such a large risk change, it takes longer to consider. That's normal."

“What’s at the heart of his thinking?”

"Family ties, respect for the wife, and discussing with the wife. He didn't mention any other concerns behind this. He should also put forward his conditions. I don't know what this person's real needs are. As for the bargaining over salary, he has already worked for the boss, and he is doing a good job, with an annual salary exceeding the original number." Long Weihe opened one palm.

"They can accept a number above this! They have a connection with the boss."

Lin Yao was excited after hearing this and called Song Yuqing to thank him.

"Mr. Song, I received a call from your HR director. You gave me instructions, didn't you? Very efficient! Thank you. We'll organize Yan Bin's background check information and send it over as soon as possible."

"The guy I'm interested in is pretty good with my boss. He and I had a good discussion, and he even discussed the health care of his mother. You should get him in as soon as possible, and I'll pay him the full amount. HR told me that another headhunter has also recommended someone, and they don't require a deposit, and their service rate is half of yours. I've read the resume, but I held it back from showing it to our boss as a backup. Hurry up."

"Which headhunter?"

"You Ke is still Ke You. I haven't come into contact with him."

"There's a Youke."

"That's Yuko."

Lin Yao hung up the phone and cursed, "Cheap dog."

"Who are you scolding?" Qian Duoduo heard from afar.

She controlled the language and replied, "I wasn't insulting anyone. I was talking about a new breed of dog."

Avoiding him, she whispered to Long Weihe, "Lu Fan, the dead hounds have become cheap dogs, messing up the market everywhere. He also pushed people to them at the hospital, without taking a deposit, and only charging us half the service fee."

"He can't give you a good resume. Song Yuqing is using this matter to pressure you to get Yan Bin. I think Yan Bin can do it." Long Weihe was not nervous.

The person who can succeed calls Long Weihe late at night.

She had just washed up and gone to bed, wondering if he had discussed the matter with his wife on the bed and made a final decision?

It's rare that I feel tired and sleepy, but now the person who answered the phone is fully awake.

"Miss Long, excuse me for disturbing you so late?"

"Don't bother. Please go ahead."

"I have something to ask of you."
