Tang Lin's secretary knocked on the door, walked in, and asked Tang Lin softly, "President Tang, I need you to sign this document. Also, Professor Lin will be here at three in the afternoon. What do you think?"
Tang Lin took the document and looked through it briefly. Then, she signed her name and returned it to the secretary. At the same time, she said, "Inform Xiao Li to prepare the car immediately. I'm going to the airport to pick up Professor Lin personally!"
"Yes!" The secretary nodded and turned to leave.
"Ring ring ring —"
The phone on Tang Lin's desk rang. She picked it up and was stunned when she heard the first sentence. "You said that someone called Xiao Fan is looking for me?"
"Yes, President Tang. He also said that he's your classmate and that he just met you two hours ago!" The receptionist on the other side of the phone said respectfully.
"Okay, I got it. Tell him to wait for a while. I'll go out now!" Tang Lin hung up the phone. Her face showed a trace of doubt as she muttered softly, "Didn't this Xiao Fan already go to Jiangzhou City? Why is he back again? "
After putting down the phone, Tang Lin got up and straightened her clothes. Then, she walked out and quickly arrived at the front desk. She saw Xiao Fan sitting on the guest sofa opposite the front desk, waiting quietly.
"Xiao Fan? Eh? I haven't seen you for a while. Your hair has been cut short and you've changed your clothes? "Tang Lin immediately walked over and said with a smile.
"Yes, my appearance just now was really too strange, so I had to change it. Otherwise, it would be quite uncomfortable to be pointed at by people!" Xiao Fan got up and greeted her with a smile.
"But, the ancient costume you were wearing just now was quite nice. It had a different aura!" Tang Lin smiled. Then, she asked curiously, "Oh right, why did you suddenly come back to me?"
"It's like this. I checked and found that my parents are no longer in the country. They're now in the United States, so I planned to go to Jiangzhou City and find my dorm's boss, Zhang Feiyang, to help me get an overseas passport. However, I didn't have enough money to go to Jiangzhou City, so I came back to ask you to lend me more!" Xiao Fan said very calmly.
"A train ticket to Jiang District costs at most 200 yuan, a bus ticket costs at most 300 yuan, and even a plane ticket would not cost more than 800 yuan. I gave you more than 1,000 yuan, so the money should be enough!" When Tang Lin heard Xiao Fan's words, she immediately furrowed her slender eyebrows. Her clear voice also became slightly cold.
Combined with Xiao Fan's current 'situation' and the fact that he had rejected her 'help', Tang Lin naturally assumed that Xiao Fan was someone who was lazy, gluttonous, lazy, disliked work, and always borrowed money from others.
The common problem of this kind of people was that once they saw someone who was soft-hearted and easy to borrow money from, they would not care about any sense of shame and would use all kinds of excuses to borrow money. Moreover, they would borrow more and more, and would only borrow and not return.
Although Tang Lin felt that she was not short of money, her own money did not grow on trees. She had earned it bit by bit. In the face of someone who had not seen for five years, Tang Lin felt that she had already given Xiao Fan enough face by being willing to lend him money. However, she did not expect that Xiao Fan would want to borrow more, and even want a yard after taking an inch. This made Tang Lin feel that Xiao Fan was really disgusting!
Seeing that Tang Lin's face had turned cold, Xiao Fan sighed and said, "Tang Lin, you might have misunderstood. It's because I don't have an ID card, so I can't buy any bus, train, or plane tickets. Moreover, a taxi to Jiang District is too expensive, at least 3,000 yuan. That's why I had to come back and ask you …!"
"You came back and asked me to lend you some more, right?" Tang Lin did not feel relieved because of Xiao Fan's explanation. Instead, she looked at Xiao Fan with even more coldness and disgust.
What a joke, who doesn't have an ID card these days? How can one not have an ID card?
"Even if you want to get money from me, can't you find a decent excuse? For example, you can lose your ID card. However, you used such a clumsy excuse. It really makes people think that you are playing me like a fool. "
"Xiao Fan!" Tang Lin looked at Xiao Fan with eyes full of disappointment and said in a cold tone, "I really didn't expect you to become like this now. You are just talking nonsense. You haven't returned for five years, your family has gone to the United States, and you went to Jiangzhou City. I think it's all a lie. I really misjudged you." I thought I was blind when I lent you the money and gave it to a beggar. Now, please leave immediately. I won't give you any more money. If you don't leave, then I'll call security! "
Xiao Fan was really speechless. He opened his mouth and wanted to explain something, but suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly. He turned around and was about to leave.
At this time, it was useless to explain. If he stayed there, it would only add to his troubles.
"Hmph!"
Tang Lin looked at Xiao Fan's back and snorted coldly. Her beautiful face was full of disdain.
At this moment!
An old man with a kind face, meticulously combed hair, and a scholarly temperament walked in from outside. When he saw Tang Lin, he smiled and said, "President Tang!"
"Professor Lin, aren't you flying at three o 'clock? Why are you here so early? I just said that I would personally drive to pick you up. I didn't expect you to be here already! " Tang Lin was stunned when she saw the old man. The coldness on her face disappeared and was replaced by a look of joy.
"Hey, don't mention it. When my stupid girl bought the ticket for me, she saw the wrong time. It was six o 'clock, not nine o' clock, so I came a little early!" Professor Lin said with a smile.
"It's my fault. I should have called you in advance to confirm!" Tang Lin said apologetically.
"It's fine. It's not like I haven't been to Huahai City before. I'm quite familiar with this place. I just called a taxi and came here directly after I got off the plane. It's no trouble at all. There's no need for you to pick me up!" Professor Lin said with a smile.
"Alright!" Tang Lin said with a smile. "That's fine. Professor Lin, please. I'll bring you to the meeting room. Have some tea and rest first before we talk about the problem!"
"Alright!" Professor Lin said with a smile.
"Professor Lin, you're finally here. That's great. As long as you're here, our company's research and development problem will definitely not be a problem anymore!" At this moment, a few department managers happened to come out. They were surprised to see Professor Lin. They immediately walked over and shook hands with Professor Lin. Their expressions and attitudes were extremely warm.
"With Professor Lin here, we can finally relax!" A skinny department manager said with a smile.
"That's right. We haven't been able to sleep at night recently. Now that Professor Lin is here, we can finally have a good night's sleep!" Another short and fat department manager said with a smile.
"You flatter me, you flatter me!" Professor Lin said with a smile, "I can't guarantee that I can solve this research and development problem. Everything will have to wait until I've finished looking at all the detailed information and test results before I can make a final conclusion. However, I'll try my best not to disappoint everyone!"
"Professor Lin, please come in!" Tang Lin said enthusiastically.
"This way please!" Professor Lin said with a smile. Then, surrounded by Tang Lin and the others, they chatted and laughed as they walked inside.
