She knew that Lin Jiafu would definitely take this opportunity to ask him about the finance department.

If she hadn't overheard the conversation between Lin Jiafu and Sun Caixia, she might have been completely fooled by Lin Jiafu's smiling face.

Fortunately, she had already seen through Lin Jiafu's hypocrisy. The more harmless Lin Jiafu acted, the more disgusted she found him.

Of course, Zhao Nianmeng did not show any disgust. On the contrary, the more she disliked the other person, the gentler her smile became.

Lin Jiafu was completely unaware of this, only feeling that Zhao Nianmeng seemed to have returned to her old ways, treating him without any defenses.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiafu's face showed a hint of smugness, but he himself did not realize it.

Instead, he chuckled at Zhao Nianmeng and gave her a thumbs up.

"I never expected that you, Director Zhao, would be so considerate of the company, directly using your own money to buy three computers."

"If the factory workers knew this, they would admire you even more!"

Seeing Lin Jiafu's smile, Zhao Nianmeng had an embarrassed expression on her face, and she shyly curved the corners of her mouth.

"I'm just contributing my part to the factory. Besides, these three computers don't cost much. It's just a drop in the bucket for me. I'll just buy them."

When the price of the three computers was mentioned, Zhao Nianmeng seemed not to care about the money at all. Seeing Lin Jiafu's smile freeze for a moment, the upward curve of her lips deepened.

"As expected of Director Zhao, three computers represent several years' income for an ordinary family. You bought three computers outright without even considering the cost. Other families simply couldn't afford that."

Because of the bitterness in his heart, Lin Jiafu didn't realize there was anything wrong with what he said.

Or perhaps, because Zhao Nianmeng's smile was so deceptive, and because she hadn't shown him such a gentle demeanor in a long time, Lin Jiafu momentarily forgot his own shortcomings and spoke without much restraint.

"You can't say that."

If it weren't for her own plans, Zhao Nianmeng would probably have already turned around and left by now.

She found Lin Jiafu's words extremely offensive.

But then she thought that if she could just endure it, she could soon kick Lin Jiafu out of her factory, and Lin Jiafu wouldn't be able to continue to bully her and act like a bully.

Zhao Nianmeng finally held back and said with a smile, "Team Leader Lin, think about it. If it weren't for my parents being rich, how could I have spent so much money so recklessly?"

"Besides, since I have the means, I should definitely benefit the factory workers. If I didn't have the means, I would feel good if I could do more within my capabilities. And it doesn't mean that buying more computers can fully demonstrate my sincerity."

With just one sentence, Lin Jiafu was silenced. But looking at Zhao Nianmeng's smiling face, Lin Jiafu didn't seem to be deliberately targeting him at all. Although he felt uncomfortable, he really had to hold back.

"Director Zhao is absolutely right."

Lin Jiafu forced a smile and nodded in agreement, "However, with the purchase of three computers at once, the finance department will definitely be short-staffed. If Director Zhao doesn't mind, I can recommend some suitable candidates. They are quite skilled in computers and can certainly be of help to you."

Zhao Nianmeng was waiting for Lin Jiafu to say those words.

Actually, he preferred that Lin Jiafu recommend himself, so that he could readily agree to the other party's request and directly arrange for him to work in the finance department.

It's just a pity...

Zhao Nianmeng shook her head inwardly, but didn't show it on her face. Instead, she smiled slightly with a hint of excitement.

"Really? That's wonderful!"

Zhao Nianmeng breathed a sigh of relief, then looked apologetically at Lin Jiafu.

"I'm sorry, Team Leader Lin, the reason I asked you to leave the finance department before was because the finance department didn't need too many people at the time."

"And to be honest, I was a little suspicious of you at the time. When I heard the first part of what you said, I thought you would recommend yourself. I was thinking about how to refuse you. I didn't expect you to recommend other candidates. I feel really bad about it!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiafu was first slightly taken aback, and then a surge of joy welled up in his heart.

Unexpectedly, this accidental turn of events helped Zhao Nianmeng clear up her misunderstanding of her!

Fortunately, he didn't mention that he wanted to join the finance department, otherwise Zhao Nianmeng would definitely be even more suspicious of him now!

Feeling a sense of relief, Lin Jiafu smiled nonchalantly.

"It's alright. I know that as the factory manager, Director Zhao, you must have various concerns and ideas, and most of them are for the good of the factory. Whatever decision you make, I certainly have no objection."

At this point, Lin Jiafu smiled helplessly.

"Although I genuinely care about the factory, I also know that there are some things I can't do just because I have a good relationship with you, Director Zhao. As long as everything you do is for the good of the factory, I will fully support whatever decision you make!"

Looking at Lin Jiafu's sincere expression, Zhao Nianmeng almost applauded Lin Jiafu's acting skills.

No wonder I was so easily fooled before. With such realistic acting skills, it would be hard for anyone not to be fooled!

"It's good that you think that way," Zhao Nianmeng said with a slight smile, adjusting her expression. "Team Leader Lin, we used to be very good friends. I'm telling you all this today because I hope you can do a good job at the factory in the future. As for the finance department, I'll have to trouble you a lot more."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiafu couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He originally thought that after everything was out in the open, Zhao Nianmeng would go with the flow and invite him back to help out in the finance department.

Unexpectedly, instead of inviting him, the other party actually asked him to recommend a few more people who were good with computers to join the finance department, which really annoyed him.
