After this incident, Lu Fan no longer fully trusted his subordinates.
Everyone has moments of outward compliance but inward dissent. Looking at Secretary Ge, who works on the same floor as me, I couldn't completely trust her.
"Knock knock knock"
"Oh, boss, why did you knock before coming to my office? Please have a seat."
Hearing a knock on the door, Secretary Ge looked in the direction of the sound.
Lu Fan was leaning against the door, knocking with his fingers. I quickly stood up, welcomed Lu Fan in, and brewed some of my good tea.
"This is troublesome..."
Seeing Secretary Ge finding tea for him, he quickly smiled and waved his hand.
"That won't do. I don't know what kind of tea this is either. It was a gift from a relative. Let's try it together and see what we think."
Finally, a box of tea was found in the cabinet. Secretary Ge put the tea into the teapot, poured in boiling water, and then sat down to speak.
"It's nothing. Let me see if you've had any difficulties at work. If you have, let me know. You're my most capable assistant. This company can do without me, but it can't do without you."
When Lu Fan was at the door, he saw Secretary Ge looking at a table full of documents with a worried expression.
Thinking there might be some difficulty, he asked.
"There aren't any major difficulties, since the HR department is helping out over there, which reduces my workload considerably. The only problem is that all these messy things haven't been sorted out yet, and I'm busy from morning till night."
Seeing how much Lu Fan cared about her, she felt a little touched.
"It's good that there are no difficulties, but you should find a few trustworthy employees to handle these things, and also train some new people. Don't overwork yourselves."
Lu Fan looked at Secretary Ge, who was becoming increasingly haggard, and said.
"It's alright. I will dedicate myself to the company to the best of my ability and will certainly live up to the boss's expectations."
When Secretary Ge heard about the idea of training young people, she immediately panicked.
Hearing that this meant he was being asked to retire, he thought, "That won't do. My whole family of over ten people depends on my job for a living." He quickly made a promise.
"Old Wu, maybe my language skills are a bit lacking. I didn't mean it the way you think. I see that you have indeed done too much for the company. Now you should relax a bit and let a few employees do some of the smaller tasks. You will always be the backbone."
Looking at Secretary Ge, who was pledging his loyalty to him, Lu Fan smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile.
"Boss, you scared me to death! I thought I was going to retire. Have some tea."
When Secretary Ge heard Lu Fan say that, she wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
He handed the cup of brewed tea to Lu Fan and said.
"Hmm, the tea is good."
He took the tea from Secretary Ge, blew on it, took a small sip, nodded, and said...
"Oh, right, there's something I forgot to tell you. I thought you weren't in the office this morning."
Seeing Lu Fan drinking tea, Secretary Ge suddenly remembered that there was something she had forgotten to mention.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing that someone wanted to talk to him, he quickly put down his teacup on the table and asked.
"I received a message from them that they have found out that Zhou Wen owed money to a local thug. It seems that she has already paid it off, but the thug is not planning to let Zhou Wen go easily."
“Zhou Wen isn’t stupid. She’ll pay back any amount of money she owes. She won’t let that local bully control her. Is there some other hidden story?”
After hearing this information, I felt that Zhou Wen was not the kind of woman who could be manipulated by others, and that I had never misjudged her.
He asked Secretary Ge with a puzzled look.
"The boss is really smart. It's not that simple. The name of the 'ground snake' is Gu Hai. The two were classmates when they were young. Back then, Zhou Wen was very popular with boys, and she had countless suitors. Gu Hai was one of them."
"Um."
Upon hearing this, Lu Fan understood a little, picked up the teacup, and nodded thoughtfully.
“Zhou Wen was also very proud and had no choice. She chose a very ordinary person, but the two of them did not get along after graduation. A year ago, when Zhou Wen opened this coffee shop, she was short of a lot of money due to funding problems. Later, through a friend's introduction, she found a loan shark company.”
"But what he didn't expect was that this loan shark company was run by one of his former suitors whom he had looked down on the most. Given his arrogant personality, he would never bow down to Gu Hai."
Lu Fan picked up the conversation and said.
“That’s right. Zhou Wen saw that Gu Hai was the boss of this company and didn’t borrow the money, but how could Gu Hai give up such an opportunity? He directly told the entire loan shark company not to lend Zhou Wen any money.”
"If you didn't borrow any money, why are you involved with this Gu Hai?"
Hearing this, Lu Fan was a little confused and asked in bewilderment.
"That's because Zhou Wen's younger sister, Zhou Ruan, had always dreamed of opening a coffee shop. She secretly found Gu Hai to lend her some money, and that's how the coffee shop was built."
Secretary Ge had been talking for a while and was quite hoarse, so he picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.
"Gu Hai won't lend it to them so easily. What are Gu Hai's requirements?"
Sensing that Secretary Ge had something he hadn't said, I looked at Secretary Ge, who was drinking tea, and asked.
"Oh, right. Well, Gu Hai forced Zhou Ruan to take some photos to blackmail the two sisters."
Secretary Ge knew that Lu Fan was someone who liked to stand up for the weak, so she deliberately omitted this part of the story.
