155: Chapter 155 Who is this person? Director Long came to pick them up personally.

A bitter smile appeared on Zhao Gang's face.

He gave a wry smile and shook his head at Director Li's enthusiasm.

This...

Director Li's expression quickly underwent some changes.

Looking at Manager Wang and the others, they also quickly came to their senses.

A dry laugh soon appeared on his face.

"Ahaha... truly, heroes come from the youth... I didn't expect this gentleman to be so young and already able to cooperate with our flight crew to accomplish such an earth-shattering feat!"

"Young man, I have high hopes for you! Which school did you graduate from? Are you interested in joining our Donghang Group?"

"Rest assured, as long as you can name your conditions, our Donghang Group will meet them."

"As for the annual salary... how does five hundred thousand sound?"

"Don't think it's too little; for a University Student like you, this amount is already a sky-high price!"

"But don't worry, we certainly won't mistreat you. As long as you work hard, your salary will definitely increase later. After three to five years, an annual salary of one million isn't impossible!"

"You should know that even executives in big tech companies who work 007 hours all day don't make that much."

Director Li had a serious expression.

At the same time, he was very confident.

For a recently graduated University Student, five hundred thousand was already quite a lot.

Even many employees working their hearts out in big tech companies didn't earn that much.

Not to mention that Lin Heng hadn't even graduated yet.

If he knew this, Director Li would probably feel that the five hundred thousand he offered was too high.

But at least it was in front of the media; otherwise, offering two or three hundred thousand would have been the absolute limit.

Pfft...

Before Director Li could even finish speaking, someone in the crowd quickly burst out laughing.

The others couldn't hold it in for a moment and started laughing along loudly.

It wasn't that they wanted to laugh, but they really couldn't hold it back.

Especially the media.

They were all specially trained; generally speaking, they wouldn't laugh—unless they couldn't help it.

"Pfft... Hahahaha...!"

For a moment, the rest of the people couldn't hold it back either and burst out laughing on the spot.

It was the first time so many reporters had collectively been unable to stop laughing.

Even Director Li was stunned for a moment.

This...

What's going on?

Turning his head to look at the Donghang Group employees, their faces quickly showed signs of embarrassment.

Each of their expressions was incredibly ugly.

As if they had swallowed a fly alive.

Director Li was completely baffled.

He was feeling quite frustrated.

At that moment, a voice was soon heard.

Manager Wang quickly walked over and whispered into Director Li's ear:

"Director Li, you probably don't know, but this Lin Heng... your brother-in-law, the pilot Zhao Gang, previously proposed an annual salary of ten million to bring him into Donghang Group."

"And Zhao Gang's starting price was one million..."

Hiss...!

Upon hearing this, Director Li's eyes widened immediately, revealing an expression of disbelief.

He gasped.

Good grief!

What kind of hero gets a ten million annual salary...

Even as a director for so long, he didn't even make ten million.

On what basis??

Looking at the reporters' reactions.

It seemed they had heard about this from the start.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have laughed so loudly.

Director Li felt somewhat indignant.

So, was his initial offer of five hundred thousand to Lin Heng too petty?

An employee under him dared to say they'd give Lin Heng ten million, with a starting point of one million.

But with Director Li, one had to work hard for two or three years before possibly getting one million... in reality, it would take even longer!

Wasn't this a blatant slap in the face?

And he was slapping his own damn face!

It was purely shooting himself in the foot.

"Could there be a mistake? This price... was he serious?"

"Did this guy save the galaxy or something? So impressive, but... on what grounds?"

Director Li frowned and whispered to Manager Wang.

Hearing this, Manager Wang gave a wry smile.

"No mistake. He might not have the ability to save the galaxy, but Lin Heng truly saved east star 768."

"He took down seven armed thugs with his bare hands and even flew the plane back."

"Tell me, is he worth that ten million?"

Hiss...!

Director Li gasped once more.

Good grief!

He wondered why they were willing to give Lin Heng a ten million annual salary; Director Li even felt that amount was too low!

Without Lin Heng, the cost of the plane alone would be an astronomical figure.

Who knows how many tens of millions it was worth!

Forget a ten million annual salary; even one hundred million would be worth it!

Not to mention... the passengers on board; the impact would have been extremely far-reaching.

Director Li finally realized the gravity of the situation.

He swallowed and whispered, "So, did Lin Heng agree?"

Hearing this, Manager Wang gave an even more bitter smile.

"No... he said flying planes is just a hobby and he has no intentions in that direction."

Heh, hehe...

Hearing this, Director Li's mouth twitched.

Good grief...

He now understood what kind of character Lin Heng was.

But a man of his ability probably looked down on a ten million annual salary.

Just then, another group of people soon got out of a car in the distance.

After they got out, rows of people in suits appeared, lining up on both sides.

What a grand display!

To act so boldly right in their airport!

"I want to see who this guy is... Holy crap!?"

Director Long!?

Before Director Li could finish, he noticed the person getting out of the Hongqi car.

The visitor was none other than the Director of the Longan Bureau, Long Anyou.

This was a truly prominent figure!

Ordinary people wouldn't even recognize him!

And those who could enter and exit the airport interior at will could only be public officials.

Not to mention that Long Anyou was also the Minister of Intelligence Department.

In the Dragon Kingdom, there was nowhere they couldn't go.

"Hahaha, Director Long, what wind blew you here?"

"You didn't inform me ahead of time; I could have made arrangements to receive you."

Director Li was, after all, the person in charge of the Dragon Capital Airport. Even Li Shengli, the leader of Donghang Group, was respectful in front of Long Anyou; he didn't dare to act out.

Hearing this, Long Anyou just nodded faintly.

Then, without saying a word, he turned his head to look at Lin Heng.

"It's good that you're okay. The car is ready; let's go together."

What!?

Director Li was stunned.

Lin Heng has such a big background?

The Director of the Longan Bureau came personally to pick him up!?
