"Committee member?"
"I?"
Lin Rui asked a question that everyone present was eager to know.
"Look at my memory, I almost forgot that Committee Member Lin doesn't know about this yet."
"Not long ago, after consultation, Chairman Xu, Vice Chairman Chen, and eleven council members unanimously decided to invite Mr. Lin to serve as an honorary member of the Xiazhou Art Association."
Honorary member?
He Chu immediately lost his composure.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Secretary Liu, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"How can a student like him be qualified to serve as an honorary member?"
"Besides, our association has never established such a position before."
As the director of the copyright protection center, He Chu's rank is one level higher than Secretary Liu's.
In other places, a higher-ranking official can have absolute power over people.
But Secretary Liu's situation is special; he is a close confidant of Xu Hongzhuo.
Normally, he would not question Secretary Liu to her face.
This is a major taboo in the workplace.
But right now, he absolutely doesn't want it to be true.
Just now, he went to almost every place he could offend, all in his attempt to target Lin Rui.
If Lin Ruizhen becomes the honorary member of the association, then he will be in deep trouble!
"Director He, are you questioning me?"
"No, no, Secretary Liu, please don't misunderstand."
Seeing that Secretary Liu's expression was unfriendly, He Chu quickly waved his hand.
Secretary Liu remained expressionless: "So, you're questioning Chairman Xu, Vice Chairman Chen, and the eleven council members?"
hiss!
He Chu gasped.
This is an incredibly big hat!
This is such a malicious attempt to frame someone!
Questioning Chairman Xu?
Questioning Vice President Chen?
They also questioned the eleven senators?
Are you kidding me!
Even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing!
He Chu quickly waved his hand: "No! Absolutely not!"
Whether it's true or not, you know the answer in your heart!
Secretary Liu maintained a cold expression.
As a close associate of Xu Hongzhuo, he naturally knew Lin Rui.
Especially last night, he sat in the Golden Hall and witnessed the brilliance of the piano master Lin Rui.
I had hoped to leave Lin Rui with a good impression of being efficient and capable.
But who would have thought that this bastard He Chu would actually cause trouble!
They have absolutely no sense of observation!
No wonder he's still just a director after working in the association for twenty years.
Serves you right!
Secretary Liu was practically cursing under his breath. He ignored He Chu and smiled at Lin Rui, saying, "Committee Member Lin, how about we go to the reception room?"
"No rush, I haven't registered the copyright yet."
“If we go up now, we’ll have to come down again later. The copyright issue isn’t resolved, so the authorization letter is useless.”
Lin Rui patted the two documents in his hand.
"This is such a small matter, there's no need for Committee Member Lin to worry about it."
"Just give me the order next time, and I'll make sure it's handled perfectly for Committee Member Lin."
After saying that, Secretary Liu looked at He Chu and said, "Director He, if Committee Member Lin wants to register a copyright in the future, we must give him priority in the approval process and make sure it is done as quickly as possible."
After a pause, Secretary Liu emphasized, "This was personally instructed by Chairman Xu."
"President Xu?"
He Chu was stunned.
In his memory, Secretary Liu was stubborn and inflexible, refusing to eat or drink.
But today, when facing a student, he not only adopted a very humble attitude, but more absurdly, he also publicly stated that he would open the door through back channels.
Finally, they even brought up Chairman Xu.
What's wrong with him?
Is it possessed by an evil spirit?
After calming down, He Chu broke out in a cold sweat.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but He Changxing started talking non-stop.
"Uncle Liu, his name is Lin Rui. He's a student who just joined Tianrui Entertainment. He's just a nobody. Don't be fooled by him."
Seeing Secretary Liu showing concern for Lin Rui, He Changxing was consumed by jealousy.
In his view, how could Lin Rui, such a minor character who could be manipulated at will, be valued by Secretary Liu?
And those so-called honorary committee members are utter nonsense!
Lin Rui must have used some shady methods to deceive Xu Hongzhuo and the others.
He Changxing felt obligated to expose Lin Rui in public.
Lin Rui should be treated like a mangy dog and kicked out of the house!
Only in this way can I relieve the pent-up frustration in my chest.
"And what are you?"
Secretary Liu's gaze was icy, causing the uneasy He Chu to secretly curse.
Hey little darling, why do you have to interrupt? Aren't you already causing enough chaos?
If I weren't your second uncle, I would have strangled you, you bastard.
Others only screw over their fathers, but you screw over even your second uncle!
"Secretary Liu, I didn't lie to you, I..."
"Shut up!"
Secretary Liu's face was gloomy as he glanced at He Changxing and He Chu, sneering repeatedly, "I think I understand now."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Rui: "Committee Member Lin, did something unpleasant happen here?"
Lin Rui shrugged: "It's nothing major. It's just that this Director He publicly stated that he would refuse to accept any documents I send."
“Secretary Liu, I can testify.”
Luo Zheng stepped forward.
Don't underestimate her just because she's a receptionist; she got this job through her own merit.
You should know that this is not a private company, but the Xiazhou Arts Association!
This is the officialdom!
When receiving leaders, I've long been accustomed to reading between the lines and knowing how to please everyone.
After the initial shock, she quickly grasped the situation.
He Chu is indeed the director of the copyright protection center, and she can't afford to offend him, but after today, things might change.
"Xiao Luo, what exactly happened?"
There really is a problem?!
Secretary Liu's face turned even uglier.
Knowing that Secretary Liu was going to stand up for Lin Rui, Luo Zheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately told her everything that had just happened.
"Good! Very good!"
"Director He, you have quite the airs of an official!"
"Secretary Liu, let me explain."
"I'm not listening, I don't have time! Save your bad ideas for the chairman."
Secretary Liu snorted coldly and ignored He Chu.
In his view, He Chu's tenure as director of the copyright protection center has probably come to an end.
The consensus reached by the top leaders last night is still fresh in my mind.
Thinking of how the big shots all expressed their willingness to protect this kid, fearing that Lin Rui would be treated unfairly, the look in his eyes as he looked at He Chu again was filled with deep pity.
He Chu, you've got guts!
"Second Uncle, what's going on?"
Seeing Secretary Liu respectfully leading Lin Rui away, He Changxing also sensed that something was wrong.
"Who's your second uncle! You jinx!"
"What kind of trouble have you caused me?"
He Chu was furious.
He will probably never forget the look in Secretary Liu's eyes before he left.
mercy?
pity?
Pitiful?
Mourning?!
A person's mouth can lie, but their eyes can't. He Chu read a death sentence in Secretary Liu's eyes.
This terrified him and scared him to death!
"I don't care if you beg or kneel, just settle this matter for me right now."
"If I lose my job because of you, you jinx, I swear I'll strangle you, you piece of shit!"
He Chu glared fiercely at He Changxing, as if he wanted to devour him.
"I cannot sit idly by and wait to die."
"We must find a way to explain this to the man surnamed Lin."
"If Secretary Liu were to go and complain to Chairman Xu, I'd be finished!"
Water that is too clear has no fish.
During his several years as director of the copyright protection center, He Chu was often indiscreet and his conduct could not withstand scrutiny.
Once investigated, he'll probably spend the rest of his life eating communal meals and simple cabbage in prison.
The thought that all of this was caused by his nephew filled He Chu with murderous intent.
Thinking of the murderous look in his second uncle's eyes before he left, He Changxing panicked.
He quickly took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Dad, I've gotten into trouble."
"My second uncle wanted to strangle me, and it had something to do with Lin Rui from the company."
"Isn't that kid a student? What's his background?"
