C172 The Benefits of Power
Director Lin smiled as he said this. He did not forget to carefully look at Fann Binn, who was sitting there. He continued to smile and said, "Lady Boss, it was my fault in the past. It was also because the Financial Bureau was too slow when it came to the accounts. I was afraid that if I spent my money on the government, I wouldn't know when it would be reimbursed. Sometimes, if I offended you, don't take it to heart. "
When Aunt Li heard this, she was stunned for a full three seconds. Then, with a smile on her face, she waved her hand and said, "Look at how polite you are. There's nothing wrong with your heart. I'll be happy if you come here often."
"That's good. Captain Zhang and I will definitely come often in the future. In the future, not only us, but also my friends."
"Huh?" Aunt Li almost fainted when she heard what Director Lin said. She really wanted to slap herself. She didn't want to say good things, but she had to make these two freeloader people come here often. Didn't she want the shop to close down?! This month, she almost couldn't take it anymore. If they really came often, she wouldn't be able to take it anymore. Then this shop probably didn't need to be opened anymore...
It was as if she noticed that Aunt Li's face instantly turned deathly pale, as ugly as it could get. Director Lin suddenly realized something. He patted his head and smiled. "Look at me. I still missed out on something. In the future, we have to come often. However, we have to pay cash every time. "
"Oh..." Aunt Li finally felt the weight in her heart drop. She forced a smile and said, "That's for the best."
"Oh, right." When Director Lin said this, he immediately took out a thick stack of hundred yuan notes from his pocket. He placed them on the counter of the cashier counter and took off the gold ring on his hand. He felt a little embarrassed as he said that. "This is 15,000 yuan. Let's pay the old bills first. I still need 5,000 dollars. I'll mortgage my wedding ring here and take it out from the bank tomorrow to redeem it. "
Aunt Li looked at the stack of money and shiny gold rings on the table. She thought she was dreaming. How was this possible? How could all of this happen? She had never expected that Director Lin's attitude would be so drastic. After some thought, she realized that he, who was originally stingy, would actually take the initiative to pay off all of his debts. If this was not a fantasy, then what was it?
Not only Aunt Li felt that it was a dream, even Li Tong Tong, who was standing by the side, opened her small mouth in shock. All of this was too unbelievable for the mother and daughter pair. Everyone knew that Director Lin owed money. Which restaurant and snack street didn't owe a little? But today, he actually took the initiative to pay the money. If the sun did not rise from the west, what was it?
But very soon, Aunt Li noticed something from the way Director Lin looked at Fann Binn from time to time. She immediately looked gratefully at Fann Binn. At this moment, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that the reason why Director Lin had such a huge change was because of her. Of course, it was Fann Binn's help in the dark.
However, who on earth did he find to make Director Lin pay so quickly? Aunt Li thought for a long time and still could not figure it out. She only saw that Fann Binn went to the toilet and made a call. Could it be that it was settled so easily?
Fann Binn saw that Director Lin obediently took out the money and revealed a faint smile of satisfaction. Perhaps he could not help Aunt Li for the rest of her life, but at least when he could help, Fann Binn would definitely do his best. At this time, he also experienced the feeling of having a backer. Having a backer was a good feeling. He only made a phone call to Mayor of Jiangde and mentioned this matter in secret. He didn't expect that it would be solved so smoothly. The power of this official... Damn it, this was really a big deal...
"Well, Lady Boss, what's the name of your new waiter?" Captain Zhang saw that the money had been returned and the matter was settled. He then whispered to her and asked. He could see it too. This matter was most likely caused by that new waiter. He did not think that a mere restaurant waiter would do it. If this wasn't his bad luck, what else could it be?
"Oh, his name is Fann Binn. He used to be from the same village as me. They are all from the Ping'an County." Although Aunt Li was wild with joy in her heart, she had not lost her mind. She definitely knew what she was talking about.
"People from the Ping'an County..." Captain Zhang chewed on these words for a long time. Suddenly, he looked up and asked Director Lin in a low voice, "Director Lin, do you know if our city has recently transferred an official from Ping'an County?"
Director Lin also thought about it for a while and nodded. "I think so. Didn't it all appear in the news? That's the newly appointed city council member of Jiangde, Minister Fan of organization department." When he said this, his eyes suddenly lit up. " Minister Fan, Fann Binn... My goodness, this is really... "
Captain Zhang was also shocked by what Director Lin said. This time, he was completely sure that this matter was completely caused by Fann Binn. It was definitely not a coincidence that he shared the same surname as the organization department's Minister.
Fann Binn had never thought that these two people would associate him with his father. But since they had paid him back, it was no longer important to guess who he was related to. He did not want to pursue this matter any further.
Captain Zhang and Director Lin looked at Fann Binn with even more respect. Their hearts were in turmoil as they hastily ran back to their private rooms. No one knew what they were whispering about. Fann Binn looked at Aunt Li and Li Tong Tong, who were staring at him, and said with a bitter smile. " Aunt Li, you should have known that I have a good relationship with Miss Wu Qi. She is a big businessman. Through her, I can naturally get to know a lot of officials. Why not ask them for a little help? "
Aunt Li did not know that this fellow was lying. Thinking about it, what Fann Binn said made sense. She could not help but sigh, "Sigh, a big shot is a big shot. With just a few words, these shameless people will obediently pay the money. There's no need to rush them. Power is really a good thing. "
"No, power is just a double-edged sword. If you think it can be used as you wish... Then sorry, you will definitely suffer a huge setback. Never think that power can be used as it pleases " Fann Binn smiled and said lightly, "Sometimes, I feel that being an ordinary person is more important than having power. People who sit on pins and needles every day are much more comfortable... "
Aunt Li and Li Tong Tong naturally did not know where Fann Binn had gotten so many emotions from. At this moment, besides being happy, they were naturally happy. After all, they had really taken back the money that they had lost hope of obtaining. Moreover, it was likely that in the future, people like Director Lin, who ate for free, would not dare to owe money again. Just thinking about it made them feel very happy.
For ordinary people, perhaps simple happiness could satisfy them. This was the simplest of ordinary people...
It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening when he returned from Aunt Li's place. Fann Binn had already resolved the knot in his heart at Old Man An's place. He planned to have a good talk with Wu Qi, but in the end, he saw that her room door was tightly shut. It was likely that she had fallen asleep and could not bear to disturb him. He could only return to his bedroom to sleep first.
After taking a shower and lying on the bed, Fann Binn closed his eyes and started to recall Old Man An's words. For some reason, Faang Yixuan's figure naturally appeared in his mind. The various memories he had with her in Ping'an County made him let out a long sigh.
Perhaps when people lived in this world, nothing could be perfect, right? Perhaps he would always leave behind a deep regret in his life.
Fann Binn did not want to leave Wu Qi because of Faang Yixuan. After all, Wu Qi was his first woman. Oh no, he still had to count Jiang Xue, but that was just a coincidental encounter. Jiang Xue could see that Wu Qi had truly fallen in love with him. He could not let her down. He finally made up his mind and prepared to have a good talk with Faang Yixuan. If Faang Yixuan was willing to become his woman with Wu Qi, that would be for the best. But if she insisted on being only willing to have the man she loved, then she was afraid that she could only give up on Faang Yixuan.
Although Fann Binn was extremely unwilling in his heart, there were some things that he could not help but be unwilling to do.
The next morning, Fann Binn went to school early in the morning. Because the first step of the task given to him by Old Man An was to get close to Nitta, a man, and his sister. So he called the director of Education Bureau last night to ask her to cancel his transfer. Of course, the application to not come to school often did not change. Actually, the main reason for the transfer was that Fann Binn did not want to see Nitta and his gang. Since he wanted to get close to him in secret, there was no point in changing classes.
Entering the class early in the morning, Fann Binn began to think about what to do next. He suddenly realized that ever since the golden needle appeared in his life, his ordinary life had indeed undergone a tremendous change. However, it also made him, who was originally a mediocre person, become a busy person who was busy all day long. There seemed to be so many things that he felt like he could not finish them all.
He helped Old Man An secretly approach Nitta, a man, and his sister.
He confessed to Faang Yixuan and asked her to choose the next step of their relationship.
He was going to bring Wu Qi to Ping'an County to see his mother on National Day.
Also, once his application for frequent absence from the school was approved, he had to officially enter Wu Qi's company to study in a low profile manner and secretly investigate the lower-class employees to discover talents.
Lastly, of course, the most important thing was that he wanted to create his own company, group, and continuously develop it. In the end, he wanted to make his father fail in the gambling game, and make him completely repent!
These matters were currently out of reach, but some had to be resolved quickly. They were densely packed together, and it looked like he was really busy recently.
Wu Nan saw Fann Binn who had been in a daze early in the morning. He nudged him with his arm and said softly, "Hey, after October's National Day, there will be a welcoming party for the new students. Do you have any plans as the team secretary of your class?"
"Plans? What plans?" Fann Binn's train of thought was interrupted by him, and he was obviously a little unhappy.
"Why are you pretending to be stupid? Don't you know that our noble class and the ordinary class are already at odds with each other in this welcome party?" Wu Nan looked at him in surprise, as if he had thought of something.
" Oh, it seems like you have been living outside for the past few days. I don't think so. Hehe, last night was really lively. Nitta and Han Xiao were eating in the restaurant. I don't know why, but they started arguing with a few students from the normal class."
"You also know that our noble class is filled with rich young masters who spend money to buy in. Those students from the normal class always look at us with colored glasses. They always feel that we don't have any knowledge or culture. We rely on money to study hard, so we always look down on the students of our class in jealousy. "
"That Han Xiao and Nitta, a man, started a bet with each other. They said that if our class gets first place in the performance of the new students, then those students from the normal class will have to kneel down and apologize to them."
