Chapter 124 Suspecting Lin Cheng, Hiring Someone to Keep an Eye on Him
Lin Cheng didn't think this was a secret, so he told her truthfully, "Because it was the young master who shook her to come and help. Oh, by the way, that little girl Kong Ran goes to kindergarten across from the young master's."
Murong Ting: Why didn't you report this to me?
Lin Cheng scratched his head: "The child is older now, it's normal for him to go to kindergarten, this matter isn't that important, is it? Could the young master's dual personality be related to this little girl Kong Ran?"
Murong Ting glared at him irritably: "Don't you know why Kong Ran chose a kindergarten across from Xiao Chen's? This is just a tactic by Kong Wange to get closer to Xiao Chen. Otherwise, why would she choose this one out of so many kindergartens? It's possible that Kong Wange is using her daughter to communicate with Xiao Chen."
"Besides, this little girl is always shouting about fighting and killing. She's much wilder than Xiao Chen. If Xiao Chen plays with her for a long time, he'll definitely be corrupted too. In the future, if you encounter this situation, you must stop her in time, understand?"
Lin Cheng nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice: "Ah, yes, yes, you're right, I was just being stupid."
Murong Ting suppressed his anger and continued flipping through the documents.
He paused when he turned to the last page.
Looking at the smiling photo on the resume, he gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Cheng, you're saying the person you've chosen is the last one?"
Lin Cheng nodded frantically: "Yes, yes."
Clutching the documents in his hand, Murong Ting asked incredulously, "So after all that selection, you actually brought Kong Wange back to me?"
Lin Cheng coughed lightly and said the excuse he had prepared beforehand: "Oh, Young Master Ting, don't be in such a hurry. We have our reasons for choosing the young mistress as the medicinal cuisine chef."
"Young Madam?" Murong Ting's eyes flashed with a cold, sharp light.
"Uh, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, it's Miss Kong."
Murong Ting leaned back in his chair, his eyes cold and disdainful: "Fine, then tell me your reasons."
"Yes, that's right. First of all, among all the applicants today, Ms. Kong performed the best, easily answering all the difficult questions we asked."
Murong Ting didn't know what Lin Cheng and his son were up to, and his expression softened slightly upon hearing this.
He knew Kong Wange's medical skills and culinary expertise, and from that perspective, it was indeed undeniable that she was the right person to serve as a medicinal cuisine chef.
"And then?"
"Secondly, as I mentioned before, bring Miss Kong back and keep her under your watchful eye. That way, it will be much easier for you to find out what she did to the young master."
After Lin Cheng finished speaking, he felt that what he said made a lot of sense, and he couldn't help but puff out his chest even more.
After listening, Murong Ting did not speak, but looked at Lin Cheng thoughtfully.
Lin Cheng felt a little uneasy under that gaze and gradually stopped standing up straight: "Young Master Ting, do you think... I'm wrong?"
“No, you’re absolutely right,” Murong Ting said slowly.
Just as Lin Cheng was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Murong Ting continue, "Lin Cheng, how come I never realized you were so smart before? I think it's a waste of your talent to make you the president's special assistant. You should be made the president."
Lin Cheng was completely oblivious to the fact that his boss was being sarcastic. He even replied with a self-satisfied air, "Young Master Ting, you're joking. Even if I, Lin Cheng, am a dog, I would never steal your job."
Murong Ting snapped, "Alright, tell me, are you hiding something from me? Lin Cheng, you need to understand, I'm the one who pays your salary, not Kong Wange. Why are you going to such lengths to speak up for her?"
Lin Cheng: "..."
Damn, was he that obvious?
No, I don't think so!
Lin Cheng wiped the sweat from his palms and put on a pitiful look: "Oh, Young Master Ting, I've grown up with you since I was a child and worked by your side for so many years. I never thought you would think of me like this. Who did I ask the young mistress to come back for? Wasn't it all to help you solve your problems?"
"If thinking of you is a sin, then I accept it and am willing to suffer in the deepest hell."
Upon hearing this, Murong Ting slowly withdrew his gaze, feeling a headache coming on with disgust. After a while, he helplessly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you can handle Kong Wange's matter."
Upon hearing this, Lin Cheng breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that he had passed the test with Young Master Ting.
He quickly smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go right away. Miss Kong will be on duty today!"
After saying that, he quickly turned around and ran out.
Murong Ting watched his retreating figure and narrowed his eyes.
Lin Cheng's mother was a maid in the old house, and she took care of his daily life from a very young age.
Lin Cheng's father passed away early, so he actually grew up with him in the old house.
After all, they had been together for almost twenty years, and he could see right through what the other was thinking.
Judging from the speed at which he ran out, it's clear that this kid is feeling guilty.
After a moment of contemplation, Murong Ting made a phone call to Chu Ning.
The person on the other end of the line, receiving a call from Murong Ting, was extremely nervous and asked, "Hello, Young Master Ting?"
Murong Ting hummed in agreement: "You're back from abroad, right?"
"I've been back for a while now. Brother Lin told me all this. Congratulations to Young Master Ting on the birth of Chanyi. May the old man live a long and healthy life."
"Stop talking nonsense, what are you busy with?"
"Nothing much, nothing much, just slacking off, having paid to smoke in the bathroom."
Murong Ting: "???"
Chu Ning quickly tried to cover it up: "Uh... but I've been staring at my phone the whole time, waiting for work."
Murong Ting was speechless. Like boss, like underlings. Lin Cheng's men were indeed all brainless.
He paused for a moment and said, "Since you're so free, I'll give you a task."
Chu Ning immediately replied excitedly, "No problem, Young Master Ting, please tell me!"
Normally, his work is arranged directly by his boss, Lin Cheng. This is the first time that Young Master Ting has contacted him directly!
Could it be that his chance to make a name for himself is finally here?
"Keep an eye on Lin Cheng for me. I suspect he's hiding something from me."
Chu Ning was stunned: "Young Master Ting, who do you want me to keep an eye on?"
"Did I not explain myself clearly?"
Chu Ning was about to cry. He understood everything, but he just couldn't believe it!
Why would Young Master Ting ask him to do something with Brother Lin out of the blue?
That's his boss!
Murong Ting, seeing that he was silent, assumed that he was unwilling, so he said, "If you can really find something useful, your salary will double and you will be promoted one level."
Chu Ning didn't feel excited; instead, she felt even more terrified.
I always felt that what landed on his head wasn't a windfall, but a conspiracy...
He certainly didn't dare show it, so he could only feign happiness: "Okay, okay, Young Master Ting, I understand, I'll take care of it right away!"
"Okay, do a good job." Murong Ting said and hung up the phone.
Chu Ning: "..."
He stared blankly at the phone for half a second, and then immediately called Lin Cheng.
"Hey, Xiao Ning, what's up?" Lin Cheng sounded quite happy on the other end.
Chu Ning was almost in tears: "Brother Lin, what are you hiding from Young Master Ting?"
Lin Cheng: "What nonsense are you talking about? Ting Shao and I are as close as brothers. What can't I tell him?"
Chu Ning said indignantly, "If you have nothing on your mind, would Young Master Ting allow me to secretly keep an eye on you?"
