Chapter 23 Casual Conversation

  After putting down his phone and falling asleep in a daze, Yang Bin even dreamed of wandering around the streets, looking for opportunities to do good deeds and accumulate merit points.

  He used to be kind-hearted and hoped to do at least one good deed a day, or even more if possible.

  It's time now...to accumulate good deeds and virtue points!

  Karma points, the magical mobile phone can exert its special abilities all thanks to it.

  ……

  The next day.

  Sunday.

  Around 8:40

  Tossed and turned all night, dazed and confused, having non-stop dreams... doing good deeds, buying lottery tickets, counting money... Yang Bin, who was counting money, buying lottery tickets, and doing good deeds, was startled awake by the ringtone of his phone.

  "Damn it!" Yang Bin suddenly sat up in bed and then began to try hard to recall the lottery numbers that were drawn earlier.

  The continuously ringing mobile phone finally woke up Yang Bin completely, and he knew that he was just dreaming. He took a look at the phone number, and it turned out to be Qin Liang's call.

  "What's wrong with this cheap woman?" Yang Bin scolded loudly...... Isn't today Sunday?

  In the past, Yang Bin had to work overtime on Sundays under Qin Liang's tyranny. However, in general, if Sunday overtime is required, it will be announced in advance on Saturday. Moreover, for Sunday overtime, you can report to the project team at 9:30 and being late within 10 minutes will not be counted as absenteeism.

  Why did you call just after 8:30 today?

  Yang Bin didn't answer his phone, but Qin Liang kept calling...

  After some thought, Yang Bin still picked up his phone and answered it when Qin Liang dialed again.

  "Yang Bin! Why didn't you answer the phone?!" Qin Liang's voice was anxious and exasperated, but it sounded a bit strange... He had just gotten his front teeth filled last night.

  "Which pancake disturbed my peaceful dream early this morning!?" As soon as Yang Bin thought of the scene in the private room of Ziyun Pavilion yesterday, he felt extremely pleased. Now, the more anxious and flustered Qin Liang became, the happier Yang Bin's heart grew.

  "You're finished! Don't want to mix in the project team anymore?!" Qin Liang sternly threatened Yang Bin. Because of the forceful pronunciation, when he said the last "ba", the two front teeth he had just filled last night almost flew out entirely.

  "Oh, which pancake was I talking about? Didn't hear it clearly, so it's Director Qin after all? What do you mean by this? Today is Sunday, wasn't it explicitly stated in the project department? If we need to work overtime on Sunday, the director must notify us in advance on Saturday. Did you notify me? You didn't notify me, what's the point of that? Bullshit!" Yang Bin responded with a sarcastic tone to Qin Liang.

  "Scold me for burning the bun? Dog shit? Fine! You want to resign voluntarily, huh? I'll satisfy you!" Qin Liang slammed down the phone with a furious expression.

  "Shit! You're flattering yourself! Are you worthy? Sick!" Yang Bin shook his head as he looked at the hung-up phone.

  ……

  "Director Dai, you see, he refused to answer the phone and when it finally got through, he scolded me. He called me a bun-head and dog shit! And then told me he didn't want to work anymore and wanted to resign!" Qin Liang reported to Director Dai of the Commerce Bureau after hanging up the phone.

  Early this morning, Qin Liang received a call from Sun Piaoyun while he was still in dreamland, asking him to rush to the bureau as soon as possible, saying that Dai Hongfei had an urgent matter to see him.

  As the head of Project Three, Qin Liang's direct supervisor was Director Sun Piaoyun, and he didn't have many opportunities to closely interact with Deputy Director Dai Hongfei. He knew that in official circles, it was a rare opportunity to meet high-level leaders at any time. So as soon as Qin Liang received the call from Sun Piaoyun, he got out of bed without even having breakfast and rushed to the office.

  Dai Hongfei looked troubled today, seemingly having not slept well last night, and even came to the office on a weekend when he didn't have to work.

  Sun Piaoyun brought Qin Liang to Dai Hongfei's office, where Dai Hongfei first put on a concerned expression and asked Qin Liang many questions about the third group of projects, such as the completion of the business attraction task and what difficulties he encountered in his work...

  Qin Liang rarely had the opportunity to perform in front of Dai Hongfei, so he hastily and volubly talked about the current progress of Project Three's work and task completion. He then expressed his determination several times to Dai Hongfei, until Dai Hongfei couldn't help but interrupt him after glancing at his watch several times.

  "Isn't there a comrade named Yang Bin in your group?" Dai Hongfei asked Qin Liang.

  "Hmm..." Qin Liang heard

  Dai Hongfei mentioned Yang Bin, and he couldn't help but feel a little stunned. Of course... the flames of anger quickly blazed up in his chest, and his front teeth began to ache, but at this moment, he couldn't show any reaction in front of Dai Hongfei.

  "How is his working ability?" Dai Hongfei asked Qin Liang again.

  "Yang Bin is a person... with very poor work ability, the task completion rate is the lowest in the group, and he often arrives late and leaves early. Every day, he complains about the leadership of the bureau, feeling that they don't make good use of him. He's always dissatisfied with this and that, and instead of doing his job, he spends his time stirring up trouble among colleagues, attacking and insulting superiors. He has a bad attitude... " Qin Liang mentioned Yang Bin, and as expected, he had nothing good to say about him, but instead added more fuel to the fire by saying a lot of bad things.

  "What's wrong with young people these days?" Dai Hongfei couldn't help but furrow his brow.

  "Yes... now this generation is really ruined, young people like Xiao Qin who are hardworking, capable and progressive are becoming fewer and fewer..." Director Sun took the opportunity to praise Qin Liang a few words, of course, also for her lover's transfer and promotion.

  "I and Director Sun have already discussed Yang Bin's case yesterday, and decided to announce his resignation tomorrow..." Qin Liang continued.

  "Hmm? Fire him? This matter... I think we should hold off for now..."

  Dai Hongfei shook his head, sank into thought for a moment before speaking again: "Right, Little Qin, give Comrade Yang Bin a call and have him come over here. I want to see him."

  "Huh?" Qin Liang was somewhat stunned: "What did you see him doing?"

  "It's nothing, just go and chat with him... " Dai Hongfei frowned slightly, unhappy. I told you to call someone, you called, what's the point of asking me why? Is this something a small clerk like you should be concerned about?"

  Even if Yang Bin is unbearable and acts recklessly, he knows Tang Yuan!

  "Director Dai, that dog mouth of his can't produce ivory, if you chat with him, he might just infuriate you to death..." Qin Liang certainly didn't want Yang Bin and Dai Hongfei to meet. He had just said so many bad things about Yang Bin, if Yang Bin were to meet Dai Hongfei now, wouldn't it be a complete loss of face? It's easy to imagine that Yang Bin would also not say anything good about him in front of Director Dai.

  "Director Dai lets you call someone, you'd better hurry up and make the call! Don't irritate Director Dai..." Sun Piaoyun first made several eye contacts with Qin Liang, but seeing that it didn't work, she quickly spoke out to urge Qin Liang a few words.

  Alas... Little Qin, what's with your eyes? Haven't you noticed Director Dai's face getting increasingly ugly? Normally I think you're quite sharp, and just now he was even praising you in front of everyone, so how did you suddenly become muddle-headed?

  Qin Liang originally still had some eyesight, mainly because he was blinded by Yang Bin last night. The 'color' of shooting the tooth enemy is not mentioned for the time being, Zhou Xiao Yi was also burned into a big flower face by him, and it's annoying to see. Now as long as someone mentions Yang Bin, his brain starts to malfunction a bit.

  Sun Piaoyun reminded him, Qin Liang noticed the expression on Director Dai's face and quickly dialed Yang Bin's phone...

  "Director Dai, he didn't answer the phone, I told him, that's his temper..." Qin Liang flashed his mobile phone at Director Dai.

  "Keep hitting!" Director Sun commanded Qin Liang again.

  This time, Yang Bin finally broke through and was woken up from his sleep. He had no good words for Qin Liang and took the opportunity to scold him a few times, making Qin Liang so angry that he almost spat out the two fake teeth he had just put in. Fortunately, he knew he was in Director Dai's office, so he didn't make a scene.

  Yang Bin scolded Qin Liang on the phone, but did not actively offer to resign. However, Qin Liang took advantage of Dai Hongfei's presence and forced Yang Bin to resign, trying to settle the matter as soon as possible.

  "Director Dai, Yang Bin had a terrible attitude on the phone. He didn't answer my call at first, and when he did, he scolded me, saying I shouldn't stay in the project team anymore and should go outside to develop..." Qin Liang emphasized again to Dai Hongfei, who was deep in thought.

  Anyway, just try your best to prevent Yang Bin and Dai Hongfei from meeting each other.

  Dai Hongfei's face remained gloomy, furrowing his brow and rubbing his temples hard. He didn't make a sound for a while, seemingly deep in thought. After a long time, he finally looked up at Qin Liang with a smile: "Alright, Little Qin, you go ahead and take care of things. I still have something to discuss with Director Sun."

  Rush to the top! Rush to the top!
