240: Lin Jianjun was demoted to the logistics department and chose to endure it!!!
"You're threatening me?"
"No! How could I be? I just hope, Xiao Xuan, you can give your father a chance!"
Lin Jianjun shook his head repeatedly, denying it with a forced smile.
"Give you a chance, huh? Fine!"
"Since you're willing to start from the bottom to prove your ability, then I'll give you a chance to perform!"
"I'll go negotiate with Zhao Hu to extend your repayment period a bit."
"..."
Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and nodded in agreement, even willing to put in a good word with Zhao Hu for him.
He thought it through very clearly... if he let this scumbag father go, he might cause trouble again if he became desperate.
It's better to tie him to the company; that way, if anything happens, he can be controlled immediately, and there's no fear of him causing any mischief... [Given our blood relation, I can't be too ruthless. The best solution currently...]
[Should I just follow Su Yan's fate and throw this scumbag father into prison, out of sight, out of mind, and get it over with?]
[With this fool's greedy personality! If given the chance, he will definitely use his position to embezzle company profits.]
[And as long as the amount is large enough, accusing him of embezzling company property would easily get him ten to eight years in prison.]
...In just an instant, Lin Xuan's mind conjured countless ways to scheme against his scumbag father.
Just as he resolved to see this 'filial piety' through to the end... "Good, good, good! It's good that Xiao Xuan you agreed; you really do care about your father! Hahahaha..."
Hearing Lin Xuan relent and even offer to negotiate with Zhao Hu on his behalf, Lin Jianjun was overjoyed and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Sure enough, this kid just says one thing and means another.
No matter how much he pretends to dislike him on the surface, he still can't let go of his father deep down... As the saying goes:
Only a father's love is good in this world; a child with a father is like a treasure.
No matter how hard-hearted a person is, they ultimately yearn for a father's love deep inside.
At this moment, Lin Jianjun's lips curled into a smug smile, feeling confident of victory and that he had completely reined in Lin Xuan.
He was already envisioning how, after reaching a high position in the corporation, he would gradually regain control and pull a fast one.
Until Su's Corporation changed hands to him, restoring the former glory of Lin Corporation!!!
...[No, with Su's Corporation's current development trend, it's only a matter of time before it breaks through to become a hundred-billion-yuan conglomerate.]
[At that time, I won't just be an Executive of a ten-billion-yuan corporation, but of a hundred-billion-yuan one...]
[All those who scorned and ridiculed me when I was down will have to bow down and beg for mercy from me in the future!!!]
...Knowing that Lin Xuan was still under his control, the smile on Lin Jianjun's face was unstoppable.
He eagerly asked Lin Xuan what position he would be assigned to temporarily, and enthusiastically recommended himself for Chief CEO.
"What are you dreaming about? We agreed you'd start from the bottom! Now go find Li Wenhui in the HR department and see what positions the company can offer you."
"Alright, now hurry up and leave! Just looking at you annoys me!"
Lin Xuan looked impatient and quickly sent Lin Jianjun out the door with a few words.
Hmph!
I must endure!!!
Lin Jianjun was ordered around and felt displeased.
But with beautiful expectations for the future, he still touched his bald head in good spirits and skipped away... On the other side.
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment, then dialed the HR department.
He found this scumbag father utterly annoying; he'd deal with setting him up later, but for now, he'd let him suffer a bit at the company... HR department.
A middle-aged woman in a black business suit and skirt, wearing high heels, was meticulously assigning tasks to her subordinates.
Her name was Li Wenhui, and she was originally just a toilet cleaner at the company.
She had thought this might be her life's trajectory.
Unexpectedly, a few days ago, the company underwent a sudden personnel change.
As one of the lucky ones, she was appointed by Lin Xuan to leap from a cleaner to the head of the HR department.
For her, this was an immense opportunity.
Therefore, she was incredibly grateful to Lin Xuan, determined to diligently manage the entire HR department to repay her boss's recognition.
And her subsequent work ability further confirmed Lin Xuan's discerning eye as a talent scout.
Ring-a-ling—
"Hello? Mr. Lin... Mr. Lin?! Hello, hello!"
"Understood, understood! Mr. Lin, don't worry, I know what to do!"
Suddenly receiving a call from Lin Xuan, Li Wenhui stood up in trepidation, unconsciously nodding and bowing to the empty air.
After hanging up, she pondered for a moment, then walked out of her office and informed her colleagues, who were working, about Lin Jianjun's impending arrival in the department...
"What? Young Master Lin's father is coming? How could such a big shot be parachuted into a department like ours?"
"Exactly! Shouldn't such an important figure be taking on a high-level position? Why is he coming to our HR department?"
"Is he here to monitor us? No, that's not right! If he were to monitor, it should be important departments like finance, right?!"
"That's not the point! What we need to think about is how to grovel before the new big shot..."
"I wonder if Young Master Lin's father is easy to get along with; I hope we can successfully curry favor with him! Maybe if he puts in a good word with Young Master Lin, I can be transferred to a more important department."
"It seems this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! We must seize it; at the very least, we mustn't offend the big shot who's about to be parachuted in."
"..."
Upon learning that Lin Jianjun was about to descend upon the HR department, dozens of employees began whispering and discussing amongst themselves.
Now that the corporation was gradually getting back on track, no one was really surprised that the boss was placing his relatives within the group.
The only thing that surprised them was... why would Young Master Lin arrange for his father to be in a backwater department like theirs?!
However, many employees present, like Li Wenhui, were grateful for Lin Xuan's discerning eye.
So, whether out of gratitude or a desire to curry favor, they all decided to thoroughly grovel before the incoming Lin Jianjun... And at this moment!
Seeing that her subordinates had misunderstood, Li Wenhui sneered and began to convey Lin Xuan's true intentions.
"Hey, hey, hey! You're thinking too much!"
"The boss assigned him to our HR department not for him to enjoy himself and receive our fawning."
"Quite the opposite..."
"The boss has instructed that if any of you dare to get too close to Lin Jianjun, or make him too comfortable..."
"Then you will be immediately fired and sent to the finance department to collect your wages and leave! Understood?"
"..."
Hmm???
Oh crap... What, what's going on?!
We didn't mishear, did we!
Isn't that parachuted big shot Young Master Lin's father? We can't let him be too comfortable... Does that mean we're supposed to ostracize him?!
Seriously?!
The manager's words left all the subordinates present dumbfounded.
Before they could sort out their thoughts, Li Wenhui stopped playing coy and briefly explained the conflict between Lin Xuan and his scumbag father...
"So that's it; no wonder Young Master Lin's order was so strange?!"
"Tsk tsk tsk... This Lin Jianjun must be blind! He has such a good son, but instead of doting on him, he quarrels with him to the point of severing their father-son relationship?"
"I'm afraid the old man's guts are green with regret now! The boss sent his father down here, it seems, to let us teach him a good lesson and vent some anger!"
"No need to say anything more! If it weren't for Young Master Lin's patronage, I'd still be a security guard at the door! How could I have been promoted to HR supervisor! That old man is dead meat; let's see how I get revenge for Young Master Lin?!"
"..."
After learning the full story, the employees were all filled with righteous indignation, completely abandoning their previous fawning attitude and clamoring to teach Lin Jianjun a good lesson.
They weren't fools; they knew who the true owner of Su's Corporation was!
Naturally, they knew what to do to satisfy their boss... Two and a half minutes later.
Lin Jianjun skipped along, arriving at the HR department in a cheerful mood.
But when he saw no one came out to greet him at the entrance, his face immediately changed, and he began to curse loudly.
"You bastards!!!"
"Didn't anyone receive the news that I was coming?!"
"I, the father of the Chairman! You lowly workers, how dare you not proactively come out to greet me?!"
"..."
Lin Jianjun's face was ashen, and anger surged in his heart.
In his eyes, whether he served as a high-level Executive or started from the bottom was irrelevant... because Su's Corporation belonged to his son.
If the corporation were a dynasty, then Lin Xuan would be the Emperor, and he... would be the esteemed Retired Emperor!!!
The company's employees, then, were the eunuchs or maids serving them.
Now that he, the Retired Emperor, had personally arrived, these people below were so clueless, they didn't even know to come out and welcome him?!
"Who's in charge here? Get out here right now!!!"
"Didn't my son say hello to you? Knowing that I, your old man, was coming, you still didn't bring people out to greet me?"
"Is there any law anymore? Are there any rules in this company???"
"..."
Perhaps startled by Lin Jianjun's shouting, the door was pushed open, and employees gradually emerged.
Leading them... was Li Wenhui, frowning.
Upon first seeing the bald, fierce-looking, foul-mouthed Lin Jianjun, her frown deepened; her first impression was utterly terrible.
She couldn't understand how the boss, such a gentle and elegant man, could have a father who was such a... street ruffian?!
Could it be that one of the father and son... had a genetic mutation???
However, Li Wenhui did not forget her mission; ignoring Lin Jianjun's displeased gaze, she said coldly:
"Mr. Lin! Please don't yell and disturb other colleagues' work in the company."
"Also, the company has no policy for employees to be greeted at the door!"
"Considering you're new and unfamiliar with company regulations, we'll let it slide this time. If it happens again, we'll have to follow the rules!"
"..."
Holy crap!!!
Is this woman crazy? Or did I mishear?
Didn't she see that I'm already throwing a fit???
Not only is she not rushing to pour me tea and apologize, but she dares to talk to me in this tone?!
Lin Jianjun was completely dumbfounded; for a moment, he thought he was dreaming, unable to believe what he was hearing...
"What audacity!!!"
"Do you know who you're talking to? Watch your tone; this company belongs to my son!"
"Listen carefully, I am your boss's father!!!"
"If you dare to disrespect me again, then pack your things and get out immediately!"
"No! Lin Corporation doesn't need a disloyal servant like you! I declare you fired right now; go to the finance department, get your money, and get out!!!"
"..."
To make these servants realize who their master was, Lin Jianjun decided to use the woman in front of him as a warning.
He was arrogant, looking down his nose at Li Wenhui, pointing at her face, and issued the dismissal order.
This arrogant, condescending demeanor... immediately made the employees' faces grim, and their impression of Lin Jianjun plummeted.
They finally understood why Lin Xuan disliked his father so much?
Damn it!!!
If their fathers were like this, they'd be pulling out their oxygen tubes every day!
The most speechless person present... was Li Wenhui herself.
She glanced at Lin Jianjun, who was pointing at her nose, with a look of disdain, and said firmly:
"Enough! Mr. Lin, please stop making such boring jokes!"
"My position was personally promoted by Mr. Lin; only he has the authority to fire me."
"As for you... Mr. Lin has already spoken to me! He said if you can't accept the entry-level work I've arranged, then please leave the company now."
"..."
Li Wenhui was no longer interested in arguing.
She waved her hand, and several security guards stepped out from behind her; if Lin Jianjun dared to say another word, they would immediately forcibly escort him out of the company.
Seeing such a display, Lin Jianjun's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly deflated.
He knew that if Lin Xuan had truly given instructions beforehand, he had no choice but to comply.
This woman in front of him, it seemed, truly dared to disregard his status as the Retired Emperor and order people to throw him out of the company.
To successfully usurp Su's Corporation... I must endure!!!
Finally, Lin Jianjun took a deep breath, deciding to swallow this insult for now...
