Chapter 30: Ink Hall Turns Black

  At this time, Dai Hongfei's mobile phone rang, and it was Huang Weilin, the head of China Merchants Group, who called. He said he was having dinner with a major customer and asked where Dai Hongfei was now, whether he could go together to meet him and so on.

  Because his conversation with Yang Bin had not yet ended, Dai Hongfei could only find an excuse to decline Director Huang's invitation. Afterwards, Huang Weilin asked about the meeting between Dai Hongfei and Tang Ying last night, as well as the progress of the liaison work between Project Department and Dongxing.

  Dai Hongfei's head was already aching, and after hearing Director Huang's words, it ached even more. He forced a smile and said that there would be substantial progress soon, before hanging up the phone with Huang Weilin.

  How about... considering Yang Bin's conditions, replacing Xu Lianghui and Zhou Xiaoyi with one person, letting Yang Bin become a regular staff member to enter the project department to be in charge of Project Group 4? Then, urging him to quickly set up connections between China Merchants Bureau and Tang Yuan?

  No way, if I agree with him this time, next time he proposes something else, won't the director be led by the nose by a small clerk?

  According to Sun Piaoyun and Qin Liang, Yang Bin is not diligent in his work, often late and early, with high eyes and low hands, good at boasting, and disobedient. If such a guy is put in charge of the fourth project group, he will not achieve anything, but instead bring some negative impact to the organization due to his working attitude, which would be a loss.

  In official circles, there is a saying: it's better to have no merit than to make mistakes.

  Reusing Yang Bin, it's possible to get on the Dongxing line, but Dai Hongfei doesn't believe that Yang Bin can really influence the decision-making of the top leaders of Dongxing on such a major issue. It's simple logic, if he has such great ability, why would he care about the gains and losses of being a small clerk?

  Moreover, Dai Hongfei had already spoken to him and said that as long as he could achieve results, he would be willing to help him apply for an additional position at any time, but he still insisted on this condition and refused to budge.

  There must be some problem behind this.

  This time, letting him become regular and taking away someone else's quota may cause the project team to be distracted and have more private discussions. Not reusing him will not make mistakes, and in the future, other ways can be found to connect with Dongxing.

  Excessive thinking made Dai Hongfei's head ache even more, aching so much that he almost couldn't stand upright.

  After repeated consideration of this issue in the bathroom, Dai Hongfei finally made a decision.

  No matter what conditions Yang Bin brings up again, just agree to help him switch project teams, and the formal transfer will be discussed later.

  This is the bottom line.

  ……

  "Next Monday, the quota for conversion is indeed not possible for me, right?" Yang Bin heard Dai Hongfei's words after coming back from the bathroom and showed a disappointed expression on his face.

  "Yes, the party committee and office in our bureau have already discussed and arranged things, it's not something that can be changed by just one person's words. Arranging you to work in project four group is an opportunity given to you, and I will pay close attention to your work progress from now on. As long as you can achieve results in the investment promotion work, I guarantee with my reputation as a former soldier that there may be an additional quota for converting to a formal position at any time. Today's conversation with you can only go this far." Dai Hongfei replied firmly to Yang Bin.

  "Can you tell me who is in charge of project group four?" Yang Bin shook his head, but still asked Dai Hongfei again.

  "This will be announced at the meeting next Monday, whoever is in charge of Project Four's work must be the result of the bureau's leadership team's research and discussion, this is not something that one or two people can decide." Dai Hongfei replied to Yang Bin without missing a beat.

  Yang Bin's face was very unsightly, he just lowered his head and ate silently, without making another sound.

  "Comrade Yang Bin, I can see that you are eager to make progress and feel that you have been treated unfairly. I appreciate your personality and can understand your current mood. When we were young, who didn't have a few rough edges? Who could be without a bit of temper? I understand the things you said, and I also know that you're feeling very disappointed right now. However, you need to understand that having more setbacks and hardships in life is not a bad thing, but rather a kind of wealth."

  "When you reach my age and look back on all this, you will understand what I am saying. If you are willing to believe me"

  Big brother, I can assure you that I am not a person with personal biases. I have always strived to maintain fairness and impartiality towards my subordinates in my work. If you have talent, it will definitely not be buried in front of me. Let's put aside your past performances, those things, and the harsh words we said in Project Three Group. From now on, I will pay close attention to your performance at all times, and as long as you make an effort, I will definitely give you a fair treatment.

  Director Dai's words were truly heartfelt. If Yang Bin was still not convinced, he didn't want to continue discussing it with him any further.

  "Never mind, let's not talk about this anymore." Yang Bin shook his head. He was so eager to turn positive next Monday mainly because he didn't want to disappoint his parents. But he had done his best, and if he couldn't make it, that would be fate.

  "What are your plans for future work?" Dai Hongfei asked Yang Bin with an attitude that was neither angry nor pleased, and continued to ask him in a very calm tone. He was preparing to formally end today's conversation with Yang Bin.

  "Director Dai, there's something I must tell you. You have an aneurysm in your brain, it's very dangerous and may rupture in the next few days. If it does, it can be fatal. I suggest you go to the hospital for a check-up today." Yang Bin knew he had no hope of being converted to a regular employee, so he dropped the subject and started talking about something else with Dai Hongfei.

  "Aneurysm? Dead man? What nonsense is this?" Dai Hongfei was unable to remain calm this time, glaring at Yang Bin with some irritation. He had been kind enough to advise him for half a day, and yet he turned around and said that he had an cerebral aneurysm and would be dead in a few days!

  "I'm telling you, work is important and all, but your body is even more so. If you don't hurry up to the hospital for a check-up, it might be too late. That tumor of yours could rupture at any moment." Yang Bin only said this to Dai Hongfei after he had received confirmation from his sister Yang Lan.

  When Yang Lan received the text message from Yang Bin, she was following a director physician in practice. After looking at the photo, she confirmed that it was an cerebral aneurysm and showed it to the director physician. The director physician also came to the same conclusion as her and said that this was a very dangerous aneurysm, which might rupture within one week, and once ruptured, the patient would certainly die.

  The director physician asked Yang Lan strangely where the photo came from and instructed her to notify the owner of the photo that the situation was critical, and hurry to the hospital for further examination. Yang Lan then called Yang Bin back, told him about this matter, and also asked him whose photo it was and how it came out.

  Yang Bin said that he saw the photo online and sent it to her to confirm, just to exercise his analytical skills out of boredom. Yang Lan didn't quite believe Yang Bin's explanation, but couldn't think of why he would send such a photo over, plus she was busy with many patients during her internship and very tense, so she didn't ask any more questions.

  "How did you know?" Dai Hongfei saw that Yang Bin's expression was very serious, not as if he were cursing him or joking, so he asked him half-believingly.

  "I used to learn fortune-telling from someone, and seeing your darkened forehead, it's an ominous sign! Moreover, your expression has been off the whole time. Also, I observed that when you went to the restroom earlier, your gait was unstable, which basically confirms my judgment. Besides, whether your body is sick or not, shouldn't you have a feeling yourself? I don't have any grudges against you, and I wouldn't curse you for no reason, right?" Yang Bin could only bluff his way through, he couldn't possibly show him the photo of Director Dai's sliced-open skull by Watermelon Ninja, could he?

  "Fortune-telling!? You little comrade! Not only are you not diligent in your proper work, but you're also messing around with these superstitious and heretical things?" Director Dai got even angrier, his originally calm face now truly darkening, along with his entire complexion.

  "You really think I'm being kind for no reason! Whether you believe me or not, I'm still going to sincerely advise you a few words: hurry up and go to the hospital to take a look. If nothing's wrong, isn't that better? It won't delay you much either. In case I happen to be right, if there really is something wrong, it can be treated in time. Also, I'm only reminding you of this because I still have some good feelings towards you, and it has nothing to do with my current status as a temporary employee or whether I get converted to permanent staff or not - I'd given up on that long ago." Yang Bin waved his hand impatiently at Dai Hongfei, then lowered his head to continue eating his meal.
