Lin's Group Headquarters, S City
Zhan Yang came out of the president's office and saw someone wandering in the corridor with a stack of documents.
"Manager Xiang, why don't you go in?" he asked.
Xiang Jia saw Zhan Yang, pushed his heavy glasses, and asked sheepishly, "Um... Assistant Zhan, how is Mr. Lin feeling today?"
Zhan Yang said, "Same as yesterday."
Xiang Jia suddenly wailed in his heart.
Just like yesterday, wouldn’t she be skinned alive if she went in now?
Ever since President Lin returned from City H the day before yesterday, a major shake-up has occurred in the group's top management. Many senior executives have been transferred and sent to the frontier, especially Minister Lin of the real estate department, who was directly stripped of his title of minister while he was abroad.
President Lin became ruthless and even spared no effort for his own cousin. Everyone in the company was worried that they would be demoted and held accountable if they did not do something well.
However, the real estate sector is being rectified, and it is their own fault.
A two billion yuan bid for a plot of land in City H not only failed to generate profit for the company, but also thrust the Lin Group into the spotlight due to a forced demolition incident. Minister Lin, the department head, unexpectedly went on a business trip abroad at the critical moment, leaving no one in charge. The situation only grew worse, and the Lin Group's stock plummeted, forcing President Lin to personally go to City H to clean up the mess.
As expected of Mr. Lin, he was efficient and decisive in his work. In just five days, he handled everything perfectly and successfully restored the century-old reputation of the Lin Group.
Everything was going in the right direction and the people in the company breathed a sigh of relief. However, after returning, President Lin made drastic changes, from top to bottom, leaving nothing out.
Now, some old employees who have enjoyed a comfortable life for many years are starting to feel nervous.
Xiang Jia has been in the company for five years and is a product manager in the planning department. He is capable, sociable, and popular, but he cannot withstand the cold look of President Lin.
Woo woo woo——
She was so afraid that she would say something wrong and be ruthlessly fired by President Lin!
The Lin Group pays very high salaries, there is no overtime or late nights, subsidies are given during the Chinese New Year and other holidays, and overseas travel is organized for employees during long holidays. Many people are trying their best to get in, but the company has only one position for each person, so how can it be that easy to get in?
Her sad expression was so obvious that it won Zhan Yang's sympathy.
"What information is it? I'll help you get it in."
Xiang Jia's eyes lit up, and she quickly handed him the folder. "It's the company's anniversary plan. Thank you, Assistant Zhan!"
Zhan Yang took it and said with a smile, "Okay, this won't happen again."
"Yes!" Xiang Jia bowed.
Zhan Yang returned to the president's office. As soon as he opened the door, a sense of low pressure hit him in the face. He swallowed and walked in calmly.
Don’t say that Xiang Jia is afraid of President Lin’s cold face. In fact, he is afraid of it too, but as a personal assistant, he can’t avoid it.
Lin Feng is on the phone.
To be exact, he was answering the phone, and the person on the other end of the line was his mother Rong Siqiu.
Listening to his mother's nagging, he had a blank expression on his face, and the pen in his hand seemed to be about to break.
Zhan Yang stood aside wisely, waiting quietly.
On the phone, Rong Siqiu said dissatisfiedly: "What has Su Ling been doing all this time? I can't get through on the phone, and I can't see him at Xiangyan Mountain Villa. Where has he gone?"
"Yeah." Lin Feng replied with one word.
Rong Siqiu was depressed, and sooner or later he would be mad at his son. His son had been avoiding Su Ling's questions recently. Could it be that there was really a relationship crisis between them, and Su Ling was angry with him and ran away from home?
"I heard that Su Ling is divorcing you?" Rong Siqiu asked.
"Crack!" Lin Feng's pen snapped, staining his hand with ink. Zhan Yang was startled, put down the folder, and took out a wet wipe and a tissue to wipe his hand.
Lin Feng let him wipe his hands, his eyes flashing with coldness, and he uttered a long sentence, which was rare: "Who did you hear that Su Ling and I are getting a divorce?"
Zhan Yang paused in wiping, feeling surprised.
Not many people knew about the divorce between President Lin and his wife. Besides President Lin, there were only Yun Zhuo and him at the company. He and Yun Zhuo were absolutely tight-lipped, and President Lin couldn't possibly have spread the news. So who leaked the news?
Rong Siqiu said, "It doesn't matter who told me this. I just want to ask you if this is true."
"No." Lin Feng said.
"No? Then why has Su Ling disappeared every few days?" Rong Siqiu expressed great suspicion.
"...He is in seclusion." Lin Feng said.
"Retreat? Retreat for what?" Rong Siqiu asked incredulously. Retreat to cultivate immortality?
"Master Zhang Qianyi will have an art exhibition next month. Su Ling is his last disciple and needs to display his paintings." Lin Feng said calmly.
Zhan Yang, standing beside him, couldn't help but stare at him in amazement. Mr. Lin lied without even thinking, so calmly and composedly.
Rong Siqiu was speechless after hearing this answer. She finally understood that artists all had their quirks. For his teacher's exhibition, Su Ling not only went out to collect materials, but also had to stay in seclusion to paint.
Sighing, she said, "Since you insisted on marrying Su Ling, then live a good life. I don't want to see any news about the divorce of the president of Lin Group."
Lin Feng frowned and said, "I won't get a divorce."
Rong Siqiu said unhappily, "It's best if they don't leave. Anyway, let Su Ling come out of seclusion as soon as possible... and bring him back to the main house at the end of next month to attend your grandfather's 90th birthday."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, too lazy to listen to his son's lukewarm voice anymore.
Lin Feng put down his phone, picked up a pen and continued to review the documents.
"Boss Lin..." Zhan Yang had just stood close enough to hear the old lady's words. She had asked Boss Lin to bring Madam Lin back to the main house at the end of next month to attend the old man's ninetieth birthday. This was a bit of a challenge! If he still hadn't found someone by next month, where would Boss Lin go to turn himself into a Madam Lin and take her to the main house?
"Have you found the man in the video?" Lin Feng asked.
"No," Zhan Yang said. The stranger in the video was just a blurry silhouette, making it incredibly difficult to find him. The Fulin Group's CEO was a true electronics expert; he even managed to erase airport surveillance footage.
However, it is worth affirming that Mrs. Lin is in City H.
As long as the scope is determined, it will be much easier to find people.
Lin Feng frowned because of this negative answer, and the coldness in his body became even stronger.
Zhan Yang rubbed his nose and prepared to hand him the anniversary celebration plan. It was a wise decision for Xiang Jia not to come in. Otherwise, facing President Lin's gloomy and terrifying aura, she would probably be scared to tears.
"Boss Lin, here's a document from the Planning Department..."
"Bang--"
The office door was pushed open rudely, and an old man in his sixties or seventies rushed in rudely.
Zhan Yang looked at the person who came and was shocked.
He is... Mr. Lin’s second uncle, Lin Lihao, and Minister Lin’s father.
"Lin Feng!" Lin Lihao stormed into the CEO's office, walked towards the desk in a rage, slammed his palm on the table, and demanded, "What right did you remove our Zhiyuan from his position as director? He's your cousin, joined the company before you, and has worked tirelessly for twenty years. And you fired him with just one word. Did you ask the other shareholders for their opinions? Did you ask me?"
Lin Feng looked at him calmly as he lost his temper, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.
Lin Lihao asked in vain, his anger stagnating halfway. With nowhere to vent, he could only continue banging his head on the table. "You're so young, you're in this position. You're inexperienced, not very tactful, and easily offend people. I told your father from the beginning to let you start from the bottom and gain four or five years of experience before moving up. But your father ignored me and simply gave you the CEO position. Now, you're arbitrarily removing a senior executive without any reason, causing panic throughout the company. Are you worthy of the Lin family's century-long hard work?"
After Lin Lihao roared happily, he stared at Lin Feng sternly, waiting for his answer.
After a while, Lin Feng said to Zhan Yang, "Move a chair for my second uncle and make a cup of tea."
"Yes, Mr. Lin." Zhan Yang dutifully moved a chair in front of the desk, asked Lin Lihao to sit down, and went to the tea room to make tea.
Lin Lihao sat down and said coldly: "If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, I won't leave today."
Lin Feng lowered his head to browse the documents and said as he reviewed them, "It's up to you."
Lin Lihao is seventy years old. When he heard his words, he almost couldn't breathe. His blood pressure soared and veins on his forehead popped out.
Zhan Yang brewed some tea, placed it on the table in front of the old man, and stepped aside to watch.
The nephew was notoriously taciturn and had been unpopular since childhood. Lin Lihao understood this well. If someone else had left him alone like this, he would have slapped him in the face. But Lin Feng couldn't do that. He was the helmsman of the Lin Group, and all the elders and juniors of the Lin family had to be polite to him when they met him.
Today he came to question the other party and said a lot of things, but the other party was not moved at all. The more Lin Lihao thought about it, the angrier he became. He reached out and pressed Lin Feng's documents, and said coldly: "Is this how you treat your elders?"
Lin Feng put down his pen and looked at him calmly. "Has Second Uncle asked why my eldest cousin was dismissed?"
After receiving the response, Lin Lihao let go, straightened his suit, and raised his chin and said, "Isn't it just a small matter? Just deal with the people below. Is it really necessary to remove Zhiyuan from his position as minister?"
Lin Feng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, signaling Zhan Yang: "Give the investigation report to my second uncle."
"Yes." Zhan Yang took out a blue folder from the cabinet and handed it to Lin Lihao with both hands.
Lin Lihao took it suspiciously, flipped through the pages and read two pages, his brows furrowing more and more.
After all, he had worked in the Lin Group for decades and was sensitive to data. When he saw that his son Lin Zhiyuan bought the land in H City with an actual price of 500 million, but quoted 2 billion to the company, his breathing became rapid. Then he read on and the strings of data that exceeded the actual price made his forehead covered with sweat.
Lin Feng leaned back in his chair, his fingers clasped together on the table, and stared at Lin Lihao coldly. "The company doesn't need a parasite like this."
Lin Lihao took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, fearing that his blood pressure would rise sharply and explode.
The son took advantage of his position to continuously amass wealth for himself, from tens of thousands initially to over a billion today. His appetite has grown bigger and bigger, and has already shaken the foundation of the Lin Group. That’s not all, he used the embezzled money to register a company overseas, deliberately going against the Lin Group. It’s simply despicable and hateful!
Lin Lihao let out a long sigh and felt a little embarrassed.
"Zhiyuan, you did the right thing. It was my fault for Second Uncle to ask you without understanding the situation." His temper was always quick, but as an elder, he was unwilling to be slapped in the face by a younger person, so he sought revenge elsewhere. "Marrying a man is not the right thing to do, but you must think carefully about the child. Wait until your grandfather's birthday, when everyone in the family has returned to the main house, and carefully select a suitable child to adopt as soon as possible so that you can cultivate a relationship."
Zhan Yang's mouth twitched, and he looked at Uncle Lin speechlessly. He really did bring up the wrong topic! Mr. Lin had two weak spots: Madam Lin and his children. Uncle Lin had touched both of them.
As expected, Lin Feng's face was covered with frost, and he said coldly, "Don't bother, Second Uncle. Zhan Yang, show the guest away."
Lin Lihao pointed at him, so angry that he couldn't speak. He picked up the cold tea on the table, drank it in one gulp, and left angrily.
Zhan Yang politely escorted him to the door. "Take care."
After seeing the old man off, Zhan Yang closed the door of his office and turned to look at President Lin. He saw the usually strong man pinching his brows and leaning tiredly in his chair.
Zhan Yang walked over and said in a low voice, "Boss Lin, is the afternoon meeting cancelled?"
Lin Feng put his hand down and regained his spirit. "No need."
"But you only slept for two hours last night..." Zhan Yang was worried that he couldn't take it.
Lin Feng took the folder on the table, which was the anniversary celebration plan submitted by Xiang Jia. After reading two pages, his cell phone rang. He frowned and didn't want to answer it. Zhan Yang, as his assistant, had to do it for him.
"Hello, hello..." Before I could finish my words, the other party spoke a lot in standard English.
"Oh, Lin Feng, my dear partner! Do you know how happy I am? Our research is about to succeed! Yes, you heard it right! The project you invested in is about to become the greatest medical achievement in the world! Just let me extract stem cells one more time! I promise that the results you want will be achieved!"
The other party's voice was so loud that both of them could hear it clearly even without pressing the speakerphone button.
Lin Feng took the phone, looking a little excited. "Are you sure? Professor Smith?"
"Yes! I'm sure and certain!"
Twenty minutes later, Lin Feng hung up the phone and stared deeply at the photo of Su Ling on the screensaver of his mobile phone.
"Zhan Yang...book a flight to Country L tomorrow."
"Yes, Mr. Lin."
——————————
Lin Zhou and his subordinates stayed in Shixi Village for four days. After installing all the electronic equipment, they left reluctantly.
Su Ling was in a good mood as he looked at the sophisticated electronic products in the bungalow at the foot of the mountain.
With these electronic products, the management of tea farmers has become more convenient.
He created personnel files for more than 200 tea farmers, entered them into computers, and then had hundreds of uniforms custom-made at the town's clothing factory. The uniforms were embroidered with a phoenix icon, which was the commercial logo of their Phoenix Mountain Rain Dew Tea.
The tea farmers received two sets of new uniforms for free and were very happy. They wore the uniforms and went to work the next day, full of energy.
In addition to the uniforms, the tea farmers also received a smart bracelet.
This is a product invented by the Fulin Group and is also the focus of Su Ling's purchase.
The bracelet has many functions, the most important of which is to record the activity trajectory of the bracelet owner. Other functions such as body temperature, step counting, time checking, and calorie consumption are auxiliary functions.
Before work each day, tea farmers clock in with their wristbands at the bungalow office, activating the program and allowing the monitoring computer to receive the information. In the evening, they return to the bungalow office, clock in again with their wristbands, shutting down the monitoring program and leaving work.
The first time the tea farmers used the bracelet, they were not used to it. But after using it for two or three days, they found it quite convenient. Because the bracelet has an internal network, tea farmers can still communicate with each other by voice even if they are physically apart, which saves a lot of trouble.
In addition to the smart bracelet, Su Ling also bought hundreds of surveillance cameras from Lin Zhou and installed them on the tea mountain to monitor every corner of the tea mountain.
The combination of monitoring and smart bracelets perfectly solves the working time problem for tea farmers.
However, Su Ling did not fire Li Yue'e and arranged her to work in the bungalow office. Although she had engaged in selfish behavior, she had authority in front of the tea farmers and was able to control some old-fashioned people.
The monitoring room needed someone with technical skills, so Su Ling went to the town to recruit an electronics graduate, offering a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, including food and accommodation.
After observing for two days, Su Ling found that the graduate was conscientious and responsible in his work, so he went to farm with peace of mind.
Just as Lin Zhou said, his family has ten acres of land and has planted so many crops. What should he do with them when they are ripe?
He replied that he wanted to sell vegetables live, but when it came to actually going live on camera, he still had some concerns.
The internet is a world without boundaries; anyone can surf it. How embarrassing would it be if his friends, relatives, and teachers saw him livestreaming?
As the young master of the Su family, he is a little proud in his bones and cannot lower himself to do live broadcast.
Time flies in the busyness, and in the blink of an eye, it is already mid-June.
Su Ling looked at the calendar and was surprised to find that he had lived in the countryside for two and a half months.
What surprised Su Ling even more was that Lin Feng had never found him!
He didn't know whether to be happy or angry.
Was it that Lin Zhou had provided such good cover for him in the early stages that Lin Feng couldn't find any clues, or was it that Lin Feng didn't care about him at all and never looked for him?
Before, he thought that as long as Lin Feng found him, he would give him a chance to explain. But now, it has been two and a half months, and there has been no response from Lin Feng.
Su Ling felt a burning pain on his face.
Are you being too sentimental?
Even after leaving a divorce agreement, I still hope that the other party will save the marriage.
Maybe when Lin Feng was divorced at the beginning, her self-esteem was hurt, and she was angry and wanted to settle the score with him, so she called Lin Zhou to ask about his whereabouts. Later, as time passed, her anger subsided, so she divorced him naturally?
Su Ling laughed at himself, and was too embarrassed to go back to S City to confront Lin Feng.
They are all men, and he has self-esteem.
Since he was currently living like a duck in water in the countryside, Su Ling decided to forget about Lin Feng for the time being and live his own life well.
A week later, the live broadcast was finally put on the agenda.
The reason was that the village chief talked to him about the sale of vegetables grown by the villagers.
"In previous years, vegetable vendors came to the countryside to purchase vegetables, and the prices were very low. Some people were unwilling to sell to vegetable vendors, and drove carts to the town to sell them themselves. If they were lucky, they could sell out. If they were unlucky, they would encounter urban management and be fined more than the money they earned from selling the vegetables, and they would lose everything. This year, the villagers learned from you to grow vegetables in greenhouses, and the output is twice that of previous years, and sales have become even more of a problem. I wonder if you have any way to solve this problem." The village chief asked with a frown, smoking his pipe.
"...I've thought about selling vegetables through live streaming." Su Ling shared his idea with the village chief.
The village chief looked at him with a piercing gaze and said admiringly, "You've got a way! We old folks are completely unable to keep up with the times. Okay, I'll leave this to you. I'm at ease!"
After saying that, he patted Su Ling's shoulder encouragingly.
Su Ling was dumbfounded.
He just made a suggestion, so why did the village chief make the final decision?
There was no other way, Su Ling had to go ahead with it despite the village chief's expectation.
Selling vegetables through live streaming is not that easy. First, he has to register an online store, then contact the fastest and most reliable courier, then go to the most popular live streaming platform, register an account, verify identity information, etc.
In the past, Su Ling was afraid that Lin Feng would discover his whereabouts, so he didn't dare to use his ID card. But now that he feels that Lin Feng doesn't care about him, what does he have to worry about?
After a few days of busy work, everything was ready. Su Ling put on the most gorgeous suit and dress, tied a small ponytail, and carefully took care of her face to make her skin look smoother and more delicate.
He was like a noble prince walking out of a European castle. He stood in front of the live broadcast equipment delivered by Lin Zhou and asked Li Dahai to turn on the lights to illuminate the entire cucumber greenhouse and officially start the live broadcast.
The author has something to say: Ah, I finally finished writing today’s update, 555, it was not easy!
Tomorrow's update will be very late, because I have to upload that clip tomorrow. In order to reach the 1,000-word mark, it will be difficult to update during the day (although I usually update very late too, look at the sky!! Anyway, thank you all for your support!

Copywriter:
"Sanctuary" is the first holographic online game in the Blue Star Galaxy.
When Qiao Nan unified the demon clan, pacified the human world, and was about to attack the divine world, "The Holy Land" was deleted.
Qiao Nan, who should have been ejected from the game, was trapped in the game and experienced repeated deletions and internal testing.
During this period, Qiao Nan changed camps countless times, including the demons, elves, sea people, humans, and even the gods. Relying on the deletion of files, he unscrupulously increased the favorability of NPCs and races.
Then one day, when Qiao Nan was unaware, "Sanctuary" was launched in public beta.
Qiao Nan, who thought it was a deleted game and was starting over, once again chose the Demon camp and drove his trumpet to the Demon main city.
The man he personally appointed as the Grand Duke of the Demon Tribe knelt on one knee and kissed his fingers.
Welcome back, my king
Qiao Nan: ???
However, the situation was far more complex. When he disguised himself as a demon and visited other races, he discovered that things seemed to be getting a bit serious. The high priest of the elves, the prince of the sea tribe who had been imprisoned for a hundred years, the great hero of the human race a hundred years ago, and the God of Light who was forced to sleep in the divine realm... all cast respectful and enthusiastic glances at him.
Qiao Nan: Wait, what's going on?!
The world seemed...fused.
