Chapter 87 Issues of Principle
Upon hearing this, Guan Yunfei quickly put down his work, stood up, and smiled, "Bufan, you've arrived."
"Yes, Uncle Guan, it's almost time to get off work in a few minutes. Could you contact the managers and supervisors of each department for me and tell them that I'm treating them to dinner tonight, and no one is allowed to be absent?"
"Ok."
"Uncle Guan, I'll go back to the hotel and wait for you. It's the same hotel we're staying at."
"Okay, we'll be right there."
Chao Bufan arrived at the company's main gate just as it was time to leave work. Not long after, Lü Tie came out.
"Extraordinary".
Chao Bufan asked, "How's Lü Tie doing?"
Lü Tie replied, "It feels alright! I haven't found any problems yet."
Chao Bufan nodded and asked, "So, are you continuing tomorrow?"
"Of course we should continue! Bufan, you have a meeting tomorrow, right?"
"No," Chao Bufan shook his head and said, "I need to visit all the departments tomorrow. Let's go, I've invited the company's management to lunch, let's go and wait for them."
"kindness."
Chao Bufan and Lü Tie arrived at the hotel and ordered several tables of dishes. Soon everyone had arrived. After Chao Bufan exchanged pleasantries with everyone, they began to eat and drink. Of course, since it was evening, Chao Bufan allowed everyone to drink alcohol, both baijiu and beer.
Since Chao Bufan was the chairman and the meal was hosted by him, everyone came up to toast him. However, given Chao Bufan's unique status, everyone agreed that the chairman should offer tea instead of wine.
During the meal, Chao Bufan didn't discuss any work-related matters. Everyone ate and drank to their hearts' content, fully enjoying the sumptuous dinner.
After dinner, Chao Bufan and Lü Tie went upstairs. Chao Bufan had just finished showering when Tang Qianqian called. Chao Bufan smiled slightly and answered, "Hello, wife, did you miss me?"
Tang Qianqian answered sweetly on the phone, "Mmm."
Chao Bufan put away his smile, put on a serious expression, and said in a low voice, "Qianqian, to be honest, I miss you too."
"No way! Will you even miss me?"
"Really," Chao Bufan said with a sly smile, "I really miss you. If it weren't for the distance and my plans for tomorrow, I would fly back right now and be with you all the time..."
"Alright, alright, stop being so inappropriate."
"How am I being inappropriate? I'm telling the truth, Qianqian, I really, really miss you."
"Alright, Bufan, how are things over there? Is everything going smoothly?"
"This... is alright!"
"Then come back as soon as you're done with your work!"
"OK."
"Then I'll hang up, Bay!"
"Bay!"
After hanging up the phone, Chao Bufan smiled slightly, secretly pleased with himself, and muttered to himself, "I thought you really didn't take it seriously! Hehe, you little brat, trying to put a tight rein on me? Well, I'll put you under my control first."
Lying in bed, I suddenly thought of Lin Xiaomin. I thought to myself, "This girl is quite pretty. She has a great figure and a beautiful face. Although she can't compare to Qianqian, she still meets my standards. I just wonder if she has a boyfriend. If she doesn't, that would be great. Then I could... Hmm, Tang Qianqian, Mao Mao, Yang Li, Zhou Di, Lin Xiaomin, you all have your own beauty and your own unique tenderness. You are all the kind of girls I like. Hehe, not bad, not bad."
Chao Bufan was secretly delighted, but then thought, should I call her now? Tsk, no, I can't rush things. I need to make her come to me first.
The next day, work continued as usual. After get off work in the afternoon, Chao Bufan and Lü Tie returned to the hotel. As they were eating, a woman's voice came from outside the door. Wei Zongyi opened the door and came in, saying, "Boss, Miss Lin is looking for you."
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan nodded: "Let her in!"
Then, Lin Xiaomin walked in and angrily questioned, "Chairman, what do you mean?"
This confused Lü Tie. Suddenly, a beautiful girl rushed in and started questioning Chao Bufan. Lü Tie quickly turned his gaze to Chao Bufan, who was slightly puzzled and asked, "What's wrong, Xiaomin? What do you mean?"
Lin Xiaomin said angrily, "I received a call from my mother today. She said someone paid my brother's medical bills. After checking, it turned out that the person who paid my brother's medical bills was the uncle standing at the door. Chairman, I don't care what your reasons are, I will not take my brother's 500,000 yuan medical bills. Here is a written agreement. Sign it, and I will return every penny to you within three days."
After speaking, Lin Xiaomin placed the written agreement and pen in front of Chao Bufan. Lü Tie still couldn't understand the meaning behind Xiaomin's words, feeling completely bewildered. Chao Bufan, however, smiled and said, "Xiaomin, let me ask you, how did you raise such a large sum of money for medical expenses in three days? Did you think it was fifty or fifty thousand? Even if you borrowed it, you couldn't have borrowed that much, could you?"
Lin Xiaomin knew perfectly well that what the chairman said was true, but given her personality, as a strong woman, she was unwilling to accept this windfall.
In fact, she had already planned it out. If she couldn't raise the huge sum of money for the medical expenses within four days, she would shamelessly go to someone—the person who had abandoned her mother and her brother to run off with another woman. Even if she had to beg on her knees, she would make him pay for her brother's medical expenses. After all, he was her biological son, and she couldn't believe he would be so heartless. However, in desperation, she went to see him that afternoon and found him. She told him about her brother's current situation in person, but…
"dad."
"Xiaomin? What are you doing here?"
"...Dad, I've come to borrow money from you."
"Borrow money? Xiaomin, what happened?"
"Dad, my brother is in the hospital now and will have a second surgery soon."
"Is Xiaofeng in the hospital?"
"Well, the doctor said my brother's medical expenses will be 500,000, so..."
"So you came to me for it, right?"
"I'm not asking you for it, I'm asking you to borrow it. Dad, lend me 500,000 yuan, and I'll pay you back with interest within two months."
"Xiaomin, it's not that Dad is unwilling to lend you the money, it's just that Dad can't come up with that much money all at once!"
"No way? Dad, look at you, the boss of such a big company, you're broke?"
"Xiaomin, you know my current situation. I really have no money right now."
