Chapter 398: Standing Up for the Boss
Bai Yangfan stroked the man's long hair that he had grown for her and smiled: "You're right, we are all ordinary people, and we should have ordinary happiness."
Lu Jingheng looked up at her and was infected by her smile. He felt that his world was lit up by her, colorful, bright, warm, happy and sweet.
Staring blankly at the smile on Bai Yangfan's face, Lu Jingheng also smiled foolishly.
The silly look on the man's face was so adorable, Bai Yangfan stopped smiling and continued reading.
She deliberately put the book in front of her eyes, covering her face and blocking the man's fiery gaze. Lu Jingheng understood and said nothing. He contentedly added some hot water to the basin where his wife was soaking her feet.
Afraid of scalding her when adding water, he considerately held her feet in his palms, and with his other hand, he skillfully pulled the cork from the kettle and poured water into the basin.
Bai Yangfan watched his every move, and felt a warm feeling flowing in his heart.
No matter how powerful, capable, famous, prestigious, or wealthy a woman is, her ultimate destination is probably to desire a man who treats her sincerely.
She has no money, no status, and no fame, so she should be satisfied with the way a man treats her.
A week later, Lu Jingheng went to work at the Culture and Sports Bureau and became a clerk there.
The Culture and Sports Bureau, as the name suggests, is a unit that manages cultural and sports affairs. Generally speaking, there is basically no major work to do, so it is a relatively idle department.
On weekdays, I review which organization is organizing a singing competition, and which cinema is going to screen a new movie to see if there are any illegal scenes.
The work is easy, and the actual content of work is just reading a newspaper and drinking a cup of tea, bragging and then going home.
Lu Jingheng chose this kind of unit after careful consideration. He decided to take a break for a while and wait for an opportunity to start his own business and do something more artistic.
The days of fighting and killing are over. They no longer belong to him, but only to the first half of his life. He will have to spend the second half of his life with his wife to cultivate his character, be kind and righteous, and strive to be a cultured person.
This is his wish and the goal he will strive for.
When Zhang Yong and his colleagues heard the news that their boss had quit, they were all dumbfounded, especially Zhang Yong, who suddenly felt like he had lost his backbone.
I've been used to following the boss around for so many years, and when I was suddenly abandoned, I felt so pitiful.
Bai Han and Fei Wen also felt that the boss was not loyal enough. How could he just leave without even saying goodbye?
Xu Keshan was silent for a long time, then drove directly to the Culture and Sports Bureau to block people.
When Zhang Yong and the others saw his actions, instead of stopping him, they all climbed into the car and wanted to ask the boss why he didn't want them anymore.
The Culture and Sports Bureau is a small unit, with only twelve people in total, from the director to the clerk.
Basically, they are all cadres, either section chiefs of this department or that department, or directors of this department or that department. There are only four people working on the job, who are responsible for running errands.
Lu Jingheng's job was to do some work and run errands, but he didn't mind. There were some errands to run in this place, but not too many.
Another advantage of running errands is that you can buy some groceries at the same time, and if it’s almost time to get off work, you can go straight home without going back to the office.
He likes running errands very much and he rushes to do almost any errand that is asked of him.
Seeing that he liked to go out, the three secretaries were willing to give him the work that required going out.
Xu Keshan and his men drove to the Culture and Sports Bureau in a hurry, saying they were looking for Lu Jingheng. Unexpectedly, he was out running errands and didn't run into him.
The Culture and Sports Bureau of Qingshui Yamen had not yet been allocated a car. Everyone was very curious to see a car driving into the courtyard, and they rushed out to see. The director, in particular, was terrified when he saw the military vehicle and then looked at the license plate.
He walked around the car with his hands behind his back and asked Xu Keshan and Zhang Yong in a bad tone, "Who are you to Lu Jingheng? Why did you drive to see him? It's such a bad influence. When did a small clerk in our bureau become so capable? Are you kidding me? If he had your ability, would he come to our small place?"
He wasn't stupid; he'd figured out that the first letter on the military license plate represented a high-ranking official. Who was Lu Jingheng? How could he have connections with the higher-ups? If he had that kind of talent, why would he be running errands for this shabby little unit? Who would believe him? It was just a bluff, wasn't it?
Zhang Yong was displeased when he heard this and started to retort, "Lu Jingheng is our boss. How can it be a bad influence if we come to him? Who are we trying to scare? Do we look like we're bluffing?"
Xu Keshan glanced at the director and said with a sullen face, "It's a blessing for you that our boss is willing to come to your company to run errands. But don't judge people by their appearance and look down on them."
The aggressive Bai Han snorted coldly: "Frog in the well."
Fei Wen sighed helplessly, "The boss must have been bullied a lot coming to such a shabby unit. Everyone in the unit is here, right? Why was our boss sent out? Are they thinking he's easy to bully because he's new here?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yong became furious and immediately asked the director, "Are you the head of the Culture and Sports Bureau? Tell me, besides our eldest brother, who else went out to run errands?"
Everyone looked at each other with embarrassed expressions, looking at each other, and no one dared to speak.
Xu Keshan scanned the entire room with his cold eyes and shouted, "Tell me! Is my boss the only one out running errands?"
Everyone: “······” It seems so.
Director: “…” No way! Is it really Lu Jingheng who went out alone today? Doesn’t he have three places to go? Why did they send him alone?
He glanced at the section chief standing next to him with dissatisfaction, thinking that he was incompetent.
Lu Jingheng is the boss of these four people. What does that mean? It means that he was not an ordinary person before he came here.
He must have made great contributions and retired. They can't afford to offend such a person.
Fei Wen sneered, looking at the employees of the Culture and Sports Bureau in front of him: "You are so bold to order me around. You even dare to send my boss out to do hard labor for you. I think I should file a report and report this to the leaders of our department.
Our boss is a man of character. Even if he retired and joined your company, he'd still be a meritorious official. I don't expect you to treat him preferentially, but at least you shouldn't bully him, right?"
"Leave the errands to our boss, and you guys take care of all the drinking tea, reading newspapers, and chatting, right?" Bai Han clenched his fists and shouted angrily, "If it weren't for our boss, would you still expect to live such an easy life?"
If the Four Immortals of Kyoto succeeded in their plan, Kyoto might have become a disaster. Subsequent investigations revealed a more significant clue: they planned not only to poison the banquet but also the water intake of the Kyoto waterworks.
If it succeeds, how many people will die in Kyoto? Who can guarantee that they will not be among the dead?
