Chapter 130: Dismiss Lin Cheng and Personally Monitor the Children
Murong Ting looked up at Lin Cheng and said, "Heh, so you still know how to come back?"
Lin Cheng looked completely innocent: "Young Master Ting, what are you saying? I, Lin Cheng, am your man in life and in death. Of course, whatever you say goes. If you call me back, I will definitely come back!"
Murong Ting leaned back in his wide chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table: "So you listen to me that much?"
Lin Cheng nodded frantically: "Of course!"
"Okay, that's good. Go back and pack your things. I've had HR book your plane ticket. You're flying to Africa this afternoon."
Lin Cheng: "?"
He stood there, frozen in place: "What are you going to Africa for?"
"You'll be in charge of that branch office over there."
Lin Cheng subconsciously took a step forward, staring with a pair of innocent big eyes: "Young Master Ting, I've been following you for so many years, how come I didn't know our business had expanded so quickly, and we even have a branch in Africa?"
Murong Ting raised an eyebrow: "It just opened. You'll be the general manager when you go there. You've been promoted. How about it? Aren't you happy?"
Lin Cheng's expression cracked.
After a moment, he chuckled dryly twice: "Young Master Ting, you can't just make jokes like that, it's not funny."
“Who’s joking with you?” Murong Ting turned his laptop to face him. “See? It’s the 5:20 PM flight, the next one, not too far.”
Lin Cheng then believed that Murong Ting was really serious about playing along with him.
She immediately rushed towards Murong Ting with a cry of "Wow!": "Young Master Ting, you can't send me away!"
Murong Ting looked disgusted and pushed him away, unmoved: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not kicking you out, I'm promoting you. It's a waste of your talent if you don't go abroad to expand the company's territory and develop new businesses."
Lin Cheng, with snot and tears streaming down his face, said, "Young Master Ting, do you suspect that I did what happened yesterday and are resentful towards me? I swear on Chu Ning's life that it has nothing to do with me. Yesterday, I was knocked unconscious by the young master and didn't know anything. I slept soundly until dawn."
"Did Xiao Chen knock you out?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"You're really frail. But you were unconscious, how would you know what happened yesterday?"
Lin Cheng froze for a moment, then forced a reply: "Hehe, didn't he tell me this morning when I took the young master to kindergarten?"
"Heh, it seems Xiao Chen is closer to you than to me. You two can talk about anything, huh?"
Lin Cheng said in a flustered manner, "Not at all, not at all, it's all thanks to the young master's kindness."
Murong Ting raised an eyebrow: "So besides this matter, what else did Xiao Chen tell you? To be honest, is there some secret between you, Xiao Chen, and that Kong Wange that you're hiding from me?"
Lin Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he continued in a pitiful tone, "Young Master Ting, really, there's nothing there. I've been following the young master these past few days and haven't found anything. If I really did find something out, do you think I would dare to hide it from you?"
Murong Ting leaned back in his chair and looked him over. After a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, I trust you. Go back and get ready. Once you're all packed, head straight to the airport."
Lin Cheng: "...Waaah, Young Master Ting, you can't send me to Africa! We grew up playing in the mud together, our bond is stronger than gold. Don't you know who I am? How can you not trust me at all? Fine, even if you don't believe me, I've followed you around like a servant all these years. I've worked hard for you, even if I haven't done anything great, right?"
He wiped away a tear, looking aggrieved: "Back then, to help you investigate the young mistress, I didn't sleep during the day or eat at night, and my sweat dripped onto the road."
Murong Ting remained unmoved and said coldly, "Isn't this a normal daily routine?"
Lin Cheng: ...Uh, oh no, I got flustered and said it backwards. It should be that I don't want to eat during the day and can't sleep at night.
But this slip of the tongue couldn't defeat him. He quickly added, "Young Master Ting, none of that matters. Have you forgotten who brought the young master back? I went to great lengths to get him back from Aunt Zhang!"
Murong Ting snorted coldly: "You really spared no expense, spending six million of my money without even blinking."
Lin Cheng: "..."
"Well, that doesn't count. Just recently, to test the young mistress's identity, I risked my life without hesitation. If you told me to go east, I wouldn't go west; if you told me to cut my hand, I wouldn't cut my leg."
Murong Ting coldly added, "You didn't cut off my leg, because you cut off mine."
Lin Cheng: "..."
He tried to explain, "It was an accident! You saw me cut my finger with your own eyes, you see, the scar on my hand is still there!"
He stretched out his hand in front of Murong Ting, trying to gain the man's sympathy.
The man in front of him looked at him speechlessly.
He belatedly looked at his hands and discovered that there wasn't even a mark left on them.
His sobbing paused for half a second, then he withdrew his hand and cried even louder: "Young Master Ting, even if my physical injuries heal, who will comfort my emotional wounds? I'm afraid to even peel an apple now, and I turn pale at the sight of a knife."
Murong Ting: "..."
Are you some kind of drama queen in disguise?
Lin Cheng blinked furtively at Murong Ting while crying.
Seeing that he remained unmoved, they had no choice but to resort to their trump card.
He grabbed Murong Ting's hand, half-squatting down and burying his head in his knees: "Young Master Ting, there's also my mother, haven't you forgotten? She's taken care of you since you were little, and for over a decade she's cared for you more than she has for me. If I go to Africa, who will take care of her..."
Upon hearing this, Murong Ting's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Seeing that there was a chance, Lin Cheng immediately wiped her tears on Murong Ting: "Young Master Ting, you must understand the heart of a mother. She talks about wanting to see me get married and have grandchildren every day. Now that I'm leaving, not only will she not be able to wait for her wife and grandchildren, but she won't even be able to see me. Can you bear to hurt her like this?"
Murong Ting took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "Alright, stop pretending and get up."
Upon hearing this, Lin Cheng immediately sprang to his feet, his gaze fixed intently on him: "Young Master Ting, you're not letting me leave?"
Murong Ting rubbed the bridge of his nose, thinking to himself that he must have committed some terrible sin in his past life.
That would shorten your lifespan.
Taking a deep breath, he said, "Alright, let's go back to the company. You don't need to follow Xiao Chen anymore. Starting today, I will personally pick him up from school."
Lin Cheng was initially pleased with the first part, but when the second part came out, he almost cried again: "Young Master Ting, you still don't believe me?"
Murong Ting glanced at him: "I'll believe you if you go to Africa."
Lin Cheng: "Young Master Ting, I'm going to the company now. Goodbye, Young Master Ting."
"Wait a minute," Murong Ting called out to him.
Lin Cheng froze, then turned and smiled: "Is there anything else you need, Young Master Ting?"
"Keep your mouth shut and don't tell Xiao Chen anything again."
Lin Cheng chuckled: "Young Master Ting, you're just too cunning. Do you think I, Lin Cheng, would do something like this?"
Murong Ting sneered: "Only someone like you, Lin Cheng, would do something like this. Alright, remember my words, get lost."
