Chapter 40: The Favor of Knowing Each Other

  "Director Dai, you should smoke less, it's not good for your body." Sun Piaoyun smiled and walked to Director Dai Hongfei's office desk, sat down gently and said softly, without any dissatisfaction or grievance from being publicly reprimanded earlier in the meeting.

  A man, a middle-aged man like Dai Hongfei, would find it hard to stay angry or keep a straight face in front of such a woman.

  "Alas... it's already like this." Dai Hongfei waved his hand at Sun Piaoyun, then glanced at Yang Bin: "Little Yang, go get a glass of water for yourself and Director Sun."

  Dai Hongfei returned to his director's office from the conference room, and in just a short while, he seemed to have aged a lot. Sun Piaoyun, who was good at observing people's expressions, noticed this as soon as she came in, but she only found it strange in her heart and didn't know what had happened to Dai Hongfei or if there was any other strange reason for his appearance.

  "Okay." Yang Bin hastily got up and went to the water dispenser, found a disposable cup from the lower cabinet, took out two cups and filled them with water.

  Sun Piaoyun also walked over, holding Dai Hongfei's teacup in her hand, added some hot water to it and then walked back with Yang Bin to the front of Dai Hongfei's table, and put the cup back in front of Dai Hongfei with both hands, before sitting down again.

  "Director Dai, are you feeling unwell?" Sun Piaoyun asked with a tone and expression full of concern.

  "Director Sun, what's your opinion on the work arrangement I made at today's meeting?" Dai Hongfei didn't answer Sun Piaoyun's question, but instead stared into her eyes and asked a sentence.

  "Look where you've gone? It's all me, the time has been long, and my vigilance has become worse. My work style has also started to be superficial. I have been biased in listening to some things and almost made a big mistake. Fortunately, you timely pointed out the mistakes for me, which is your care for me and helping me make progress!" Sun Piaoyun did not answer Dai Hongfei's question, but took the opportunity to self-criticize instead.

  "Hahaha……" Director Dai burst out laughing. Indeed, he had some opinions about Sun Piaoyun regarding Qin Liang's matter. But Sun Piaoyun had a good attitude in admitting her mistakes, and she was very proper in her words and actions when accepting criticism later on. These few sentences of self-criticism that observed the situation were impeccable, and quickly dispelled Director Dai's unhappiness towards her.

  Such a subordinate, no one will dislike.

  "I didn't know much about Xiao Yang before, I only heard one-sided words from Xiao Qin. From now on, I will fully cooperate with him in the work of Project Four Group, please rest assured, Director Dai." Sun Piaoyun continued to say.

  "Director Sun, I have always trusted you and believed in your work ability. I believe that you will not let me down." Dai Hongfei nodded towards Sun Piaoyun, then looked at Yang Bin.

  "Thank you for Director Dai's trust, just watch my performance later." Sun Piaoyun smiled even more gently.

  "I will work very hard and won't disappoint your expectations." Yang Bin saw Dai Hongfei looking at him, and he also quickly expressed his attitude to him.

  "Xiao Yang, after you're converted to a regular position, especially when you're in charge of a project team, many things will be different from before. In this regard, I may not be able to help you much anymore. Director Sun has very strong work capabilities and rich experience. If you have any questions or don't understand something at work, you should humbly ask her for guidance." Dai Hongfei's expression turned serious.

  This morning, he forcibly arranged for Yang Bin to take over and be in charge of project group 4. This afternoon, he is going to the hospital. Tomorrow is the surgery, and according to the doctor, the success rate of the surgery is only 50%. This means that there is a high possibility that he may not come back here again.

  After several contacts, Dai Hongfei felt that Yang Bin's personality was not quite suitable for this type of work within the system, but since Yang Bin was so eager to enter the system, and Zheng Ying said he had been working very hard, plus his relationship with the Tang family, in the end, Dai Hongfei still decided to give him this opportunity.

  All he could do was help him this far, and whether he could stand firm in the company and get along well with his colleagues from then on would depend entirely on himself.

  "It's okay." Yang Bin lowered his head, and he heard the underlying message in Dai Hongfei's words. For some reason, he suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable, for Dai Hongfei.

  Yang Bin knew the severity of cerebral aneurysm, and he also knew that whether the man who had really helped him could survive the surgery was a problem. From Dai Hongfei's words just now, Yang Bin clearly heard his lack of confidence in this matter.

  Sun Piaoyun always looked at Dai Hongfei with a gentle smile, sometimes glancing at Yang Bin. With her sensitivity, she had heard some unusual meanings in Dai Hongfei's words several times, plus...

  Dai Hongfei and Yang Bin's current expression, she has realized that something might have happened to Dai Hongfei, and Yang Bin is in the know.

  That's strange, what's going on?

  Transfer? Resignation? Or...

  But these things are really hard to ask about, so let's just pretend we didn't hear anything.

  "Xiao Yang, I know you work very hard and are making progress, but your temperament and the way you deal with people need to be changed! Otherwise, you will suffer greatly in the future!" Dai Hongfei's tone suddenly became severe towards Yang Bin.

  He certainly remembers how Yang Bin had confronted him when he was criticizing Yang Bin. This is because he has the magnanimity to tolerate others, so he doesn't bother with this young man. However, not every leader will have such magnanimity. In official circles, such acts of confronting a superior only need to happen once, and one will be permanently relegated to obscurity, possibly never able to recover for the rest of their life.

  "Director Dai's teachings are indeed correct!" Yang Bin nodded again. For more than 20 years, this guy has only obeyed two leaders: one was the party secretary of his university department who helped him join the party and made him the chairman of the student union, and the other is Director Dai in front of him.

  A drop of water in need, should be repaid with a gushing spring. In any case, Director Dai has shown him considerable kindness and favor. Moreover, Director Dai's criticism just now was for his own good.

  Dai Hongfei stared at Yang Bin for a while before turning to Sun Piaoyun: "Director Sun, you take Little Yang to the various departments later to understand the situation and help him arrange a seat in the project department. Hmm, right, there's also the matter of establishing Project Group 4, some specific procedures need your help to handle."

  "This is what I'm supposed to do, Director Dai, you can rest assured." Sun Piaoyun naturally agreed.

  "Xiao Yang, draft a work plan for the future of Project Four Group, even if it's just a rough draft. First, show it to Director Sun and then report back to me." Dai Hongfei continued. Although he had already made preparations for not being able to perform surgery, he also needed to be prepared for a successful operation.

  Although the operation was successful, he may not be able to return to his current position. However, as a former soldier and an old party member, as long as he is on duty for one day, he will do his best to fulfill his responsibilities and perform his duties well.

  "Alright, I will definitely do a good job." Yang Bin raised his head and looked at Dai Hongfei, this time his expression was very serious and his attitude was also very sincere.

  "Uh, okay, that... Little Yang, you go out first, I still have a few words to say with Director Sun." Dai Hongfei's tone became more gentle, and he gestured to Yang Bin.

  "Alright, you're busy." Yang Bin stood up and nodded at Dai Hongfei before turning around and walking out of the office, closing the door behind him.

  ……

  Yang Bin left, Dai Hongfei lowered his eyelids and didn't look at Sun Piaoyun, nor did he speak to her. He just held a cigarette in his hand and gently tapped it on the table, but had no intention of lighting it.

  "Director Dai, are you worried that I have ideas in my heart and won't really cooperate with the work of Xiaoyang Project Team 4?" Sun Piaoyun spoke first, still with a gentle smile on her face.

  "Xiao Sun, you have very strong work ability and coordination ability. No matter where you are placed, you are an excellent talent. In this circle, the person I value most is you, the one I admire and trust most is also you. If my work position changes in the future, the person I want to bring with me is also you." Dai Hongfei stopped here, his eyes staring straight at Sun Piaoyun.

  "I know that this time I disappointed Director Dai." Sun Piaoyun's eyes were slightly red, although it was unclear what she was thinking in her heart at the moment, but after all, this counted as a attitude of admitting one's mistake.

  She knew that Dai Hongfei was warning her, telling her not to make another mistake with Yang Bin, or she might lose an even more important opportunity.
