Chapter 921

It's the beginning of a new week.Luo Binhan opened his eyes at five o'clock in the morning. There were still a few remnants of the dream he had before waking up in his head, but he could not remember the specific plot. He only knew that it involved Luo Jiayang, Momolo, the hospital and his high school past. It was very absurd. And unpleasant.During breakfast, his head was still buzzing with noise, like a radio that was occasionally disturbed by signals, with several channels playing at the same time.Yu Xiaorong also got up and had dinner with him, and announced that she would resume her morning jogging habit.

"Don't run too far." Luo Binhan warned, "Don't go to too remote a place."

"Like where you went last night?"

Luo Binhan smiled mysteriously at her.He never told Yu Xiaorong where he went last night. She either guessed something or was deceiving him.In any case, he was not going to introduce the "Zhangyuan District Second Industrial Park" to Yu Xiaorong, a geomantic treasure land.That would be a bit too risky. Since the wonderful history Nan Mingguang mentioned was buried there, if he put a hound like Yu Xiaorong in there who loved to dig deeper, he didn't dare to think what kind of trouble it would cause.

"Remember to collect the express delivery for me." He reminded before going out, "The books I bought are due to arrive. If you are interested, you can open them and read them yourself."

"You mean I can open every package?"

"I didn't say that. Only books will do. Don't pretend you accidentally made a mistake."

Luo Binhan retracted his neck to avoid half an olive thrown from the room. "Remember to pick up the trash!" He said this and slipped away to the parking lot.His schedule this week is still very full, but in theory it is better than last week, because the Finance Department is still in the closing period, and he has every reason not to meet the three bosses, and they will not want to see him.

Now he could finally sit safely in his office and read the less urgent but important industry reports, as well as the debt prosecution applications filed by investment companies.Three years ago, they provided a mortgage loan to a tourism company. At that time, the industry prospects were optimistic, so they gave the loan a low risk rating. However, things have changed, and now they feel it is necessary to do some private investigation first. Take the initiative when litigating.In short, they wanted to find someone to estimate how much the land used as collateral was worth today.

This matter itself is not very serious. At best, the investment department will lose [-]% to [-]% of the expected return on the debt portfolio.However, Luo Binhan discovered that Nan Mingguang made a special note in the attachment to the loan contract because the land originally planned to be developed as a farmhouse tourist area was in Aries City.To be more precise, it is only three or four kilometers away from the ecological wetland in Aries City, and other administrative or legal aspects have been taken care of.

This was supposed to be a promising deal, but somehow it happened. In the past two years, their debtors have suffered a lot of bad luck: tax inspections, senior employees embezzling company property, hail and insect infestations caused by abnormal weather... It should have been operational long ago. The farmhouse projects that have been launched have become a bottomless pit that drains their funds, so there is a high probability that they will not be able to repay the loans as scheduled.Nan Mingguang feels that this is not a major risk - it may be for their loan, but not for long-term operations - the prospects shown by various data are good, this project has its own advantages, even if the operation If the investor has a problem, he can make a profit as long as he changes hands and takes a breather.

He estimated that Nan Mingguang, or one of the other directors, wanted to do something here; maybe they could convert the debt into equity through negotiation, or maybe just get the land into their own hands. After all, their own resources were greater than that of a small company. Small travel agencies are much better.Luo Binhan himself is also very interested in this land, although it is not due to commercial considerations.He searched for Aries City on the Internet map and studied the terrain, direction and height of the land.It's really close to the ecological reserve, and it's closer to the mountains, which means the terrain is higher.

Aries City Ecological Reserve is certainly a paradise on earth for migratory bird lovers, and it can also be called a turning point in Luo Binhan's destiny.It was there that he met Jing Huang for the first time. If no mysterious events happened again, that would be the place where he saw Jing Huang for the last time.After a few decades, he might start to feel nostalgic and visit that place from time to time, pretending to be a migratory bird enthusiast.He also didn't forget that the black cat said something interesting on the night they parted - it was very opposed to Jing Huang choosing the wetland as the place to leave, and believed that sooner or later "someone with too much curiosity" would cause trouble.

These words of warning should have gradually faded with the passage of time, but the fact is that as more and more trivial matters in life accumulate, they are becoming clearer and more attractive in Luo Binhan's heart.He couldn't help but wonder if someone tried to conduct some psychic rituals in the wetland, whether it would have unexpected effects.And if that's too foolish and risky, someone could build a high-rise building near the wetland and put a high-magnification telescope on the top floor of the building.What will you see then?Perhaps, on an eerie full-moon night, he would see a mist-shrouded garden among the swaying reeds...

Luo Binhan stared at the mortgage contract in a daze until Lu Jin knocked on the door of his office and came to give him a newly made business card.The new title Nan Mingguang threw to him was deputy manager of the general management department, a false title that was purely perfunctory to outsiders.Then Lu Jin told him that the conference assistant had been arranged. He was a newcomer who had just come in, but he had exactly the accounting background that Luo Binhan needed.

"Ah," Luo Binhan said. He was still thinking about the wetland and almost forgot why he wanted a conference assistant. "Yes, with an accounting background...are you new?"

"I just became a regular employee two weeks ago."

Luo Binhan shook his head and quickly returned to reality. "Two weeks," he asked politely, "is it stable? What I want to record here... is related to financial data. It's best to be consistent."

Lu Jin obviously understood what he really wanted to ask.He told Luo Binhan that he was a newcomer who was seconded from the Finance Department and had been approved by Nan Mingguang.Luo Binhan immediately understood that this was probably someone with some connections - it did not prove that the person was capable or incompetent, it was just to reduce the risk of financial information leakage.

He asked Lu Jin to call the person in to identify him. Not long after, he saw a girl with a high ponytail and a goose-yellow jumper poking her head at the door. That look in this building showed that this person was indeed affiliated with the Finance Department - it was Ling. The place ruled by Fan Fei Nan Mingguang allowed her subordinates to dress casually, dress freely, and even secretly wear slippers under their desks because they did not see outsiders all year round - her good days were about to come to an end.Thinking of this, a kind and compassionate smile filled his face.

Luo Binhan invited her in kindly, and she nervously pressed against the wall and entered the room, trying to hide herself behind Lu Jin's figure.This was obviously a fresh graduate with little experience, and Luo Binhan didn't intend to embarrass her too much.He asked her name and found out that her name was Rong Xueyuan - there was indeed a director whose wife was named Rong, but it might just be a coincidence - the name did not match her personality at all, so colleagues usually called her " Xiao Rong".

"So, Xiao Rong." Luo Binhan said, suddenly thinking of Yu Xiaorong, and his voice couldn't help but become friendlier, "Usually you should stay in the Finance Department and listen to Teacher Ling's arrangements. If there is anything I need to record, I will try my best to notify you in advance. You, just bring your work computer, or go to the conference room I told you to wait. These may be different from the work you did before, but you don’t have to worry, the content I need you to record is also the same. It’s related to your finance department.”

After learning that her new task was related to her old job, Rong Xueyuan - Luo Binhan still felt that the abbreviation of "Xiao Rong" was more suitable for her. Parents really don't care about the life and death of their children when naming these days - she was immediately happy. got up.The heels of her running shoes were already standing on tiptoes, and she was about to jump in place.Luo Binhan and Lu Jin both stared at her, asking her to keep herself on the ground in time. "Okay." She said guiltily, "Okay... Mr. Xiao Luo."

"What are your usual hobbies?" Luo Binhan couldn't help but ask.Facing a new subordinate whom you have just met, this question is slightly out of bounds.But anyway, he is a small boss now, and no one can accuse him face to face.

"Just... watch a show or something."

"love sport?"

Xiao Rong glanced at him in surprise. "I'm not very good at it," she said cautiously, perhaps to avoid being asked to show off her skills during team building, "Just, I usually do aerobics."

"Oh." Luo Binhan said clearly. Lu Jin turned to look at him calmly, "Very good." He immediately changed to a businesslike tone. "Okay, let's add our contact information." He casually took out a business card and gave it to the other party, "There is a number on it, you can just add it today. I think there won't be any meetings this week, so if you have anything to do, you can go first Get busy." Xiao Rong quickly took the business card, nodded casually towards the two people in the office, and left as if fleeing.They heard the thump of her footsteps in the corridor, walking as fast as a sprint.Luo Binhan turned the pen in his hand and slowly leaned back on the chair, while Lu Jin stood across the table from him with a strange expression on his face.They looked at me and I looked at you. They were all cautious, as if they were waiting for someone to suddenly jump up and sing a song.

"Hmm." Luo Binhan finally said calmly. "Newcomer."

"It's a newcomer." Lu Jin said.They all know that newcomers are destined to become more and more eccentric every year. The more fashionable gadgets they have, the more mysterious and unpredictable their temperament and behavior will be.Newcomers who have never made mistakes in the first three years of work have always been rare, but there will be more and more newcomers who make bizarre mistakes.This is the inevitable result of historical development and will not be changed by the strictness of academic screening.

"How did you find her?" Luo Binhan asked pretending to be casual.He tried not to show any blame or dissatisfaction, but Lu Jin immediately explained.He explained in detail how he applied according to the process, asked for advice from Qinina, Nan Mingguang and Lingfan, and finally selected the most suitable candidate from the Finance Department; naturally Lingfan couldn't give him the accounting backbones who were the best at working, nor could she give him the newbie who was so young that he didn't even recognize the company toilet. As soon as she heard that it was Luo Binhan who wanted someone, she couldn't wait to give him the best advice in her mind. A good candidate; Lu Jin had read her resume, confirmed her background, and asked Nan Mingguang again for instructions - he paused when he said this, trying his best to appear calm, but he was too eager. His tone betrayed his frustration.After all, the time Luo Binhan gave him was a bit tight, but he obviously regarded this as a failure in his work, and asked politely if he needed to find a more stable assistant.Luo Binhan didn't listen to these words at all. Another question was already spinning in his mind.

"Do you think," he asked Lu Jin, "does Mr. Nan know our Xiaorong well?"

Lu Jin paused for two seconds, and then said more urgently: "If you don't have a meeting scheduled this week, I can find a more suitable one..."

"No, no, she's fine." Luo Binhan said, unable to suppress the excited smile on his face, "That's her. Next time I will take her to report to President Nan."

Lu Jin looked at him as if he were an airborne supervisor who had just been transferred from Uganda or Kenya, or a Congolese gorilla disguised as a human supervisor.Luo Binhan asked him to leave calmly, not bothering him at all.Nan Mingguang probably couldn't fire his conference assistant casually, if she was from Lingfan.So what this thing will bring him is pure happiness without any moral burden.He already had a feeling that he would be very happy next week - but it was a pity that he had no meeting with the finance department this week.

The joy of his whole working week had been concentrated in this morning.He spent Monday afternoons and evenings poring over a seemingly endless stream of reports from investment firms.On Tuesday morning, two directors returned from out of town.Luo Binhan was called by Nan Mingguang to meet together. The topic gradually extended from the company's regional development to the personnel replacement within the board of directors. When he heard a certain name, Luo Binhan made an excuse and left, and returned to the office to continue studying the cost rectification plan of the business department.He deliberately slept a few extra hours the night before Wednesday and practiced meditation in the living room before breakfast.

Yu Xiaorong saw what he did and thought he was crazy.But in fact, on the contrary, he was trying his best to maintain his sanity and emotional stability because he had to wait for Luo Jiayang to come to the personnel department at noon that day.If a person insists on dealing with Luo Jiayang and wants to maintain a decent image in front of outsiders, he will have to put in a lot of effort to control himself. This kind of self-control consumes energy like holding his breath in a smelly ditch - no matter No matter how hard you try, you can only do it in a short time.

Luo Jiayang came as scheduled and appeared at the stairs in the last minute specified by Luo Binhan.Luo Binhan stood at the door of his office and stared at him from a distance, watching him walk into the recruitment office of the human resources department and then walk out again 1 minutes later.He walked straight towards Luo Binhan with a sneer on his face.

"What do you want me to do?" Luo Jiayang asked, "Where should I go now?"

"Go back first."

"Didn't you call me here?"

"I'm calling you back now." Luo Binhan said, "You are my driver. I will call you if I need it."

He threw the car's spare key to Luo Jiayang.The latter did not walk away, but stared at him without saying a word.Opposite them was the glass partition of the executive office, with several assistants looking at them.Luo Binhan changed his face to a friendly smile, put his hand on Luo Jiayang's back and patted him.

"I don't expect you to show up every day," he whispered. "I will only call you three or four times a week at most. But every time I call you, you have to show up, and when you show up, you have to give me Pretend to be human... If you can't be a person who pleases everyone, then you can at least be a person who doesn't like to talk by nature, do you understand?"

He glanced at what Luo Jiayang was wearing today: a black sweatshirt, three-quarter straight pants and running shoes. If you ignore the sinister look on his face that can't be concealed, he looks like a male college student who has never seen the sun all year round.This look is a bit casual in an office building, but as a private driver, it's acceptable.He doesn't expect to get any breakthrough progress; Luo Jiayang is not the type who will take a step forward with a whip, he will only turn his head and bite you; he is the type who needs to use a noose to slowly tighten it , a step-by-step type, and the person responsible for holding the rope at all times must be the person he is afraid of.

Luo Binhan continued to look at him, trying to re-examine this person from a stranger's perspective to see if he was really hateful just from his appearance.Is the evil that is revealed just coming from imagination?Perhaps to an uninformed person, Luo Jiayang even looks a bit quiet and introverted.There was indeed a girl who liked him before (very unintelligent behavior, but everyone has stupid adolescence), but fortunately the consequences were not serious because she had shrewd and caring parents.She seemed obsessed for a time, truly believing that Luo Jiayang's bad temperament was entirely influenced by his family environment and caused by his indifferent parents.That is probably far from the truth. Anyone who has had a little contact with Luo Jiayang and is rational will admit that there is something wrong with his nature.However, for Luo Binhan, the explanation of "born abnormal" is a bit too simple.

He could say that Lot was simply a lunatic, but he found it difficult to dismiss Luo Jiayang with such words.In the final analysis, it is because of his own position, which is really the most embarrassing and shameful point. It is a kind of inverted nestling plot-once you see someone as a baby, once you realize that this person has also been with It would be difficult to categorically classify other babies as harmless monsters who would have been so strongly dependent on you that they would not regret their death.He couldn't help but think about the reason, and whether there was some kind of worrying hereditary factor.He himself and Luo Jiayang are not closely related by blood, but they still come from the same clan. How big an impact will this have?What traits make people irritable, cruel, greedy, or lazy?The scariest thing is that it cannot be cured.It can never be corrected or eliminated. At most it can only be "pretended to be a human being" - and this disguise must last a lifetime!
Something flashed in Luo Jiayang's eyes.Luo Binhan immediately jumped out of his confused thoughts and tilted his head back reflexively, as if to avoid a poisonous snake lurking in the hole.All he got was silent ridicule from the other party. "Okay," he said nonchalantly, "you can go. Come pick me up tomorrow night, and I'll tell you the place then."

"Tomorrow night?" Luo Jiayang said.

There was something special in his tone, so Luo Binhan understood that he had also heard the news.If his source of information was his parents, it might have happened earlier than Luo Binhan.A director only mentioned this matter this morning.

"Tomorrow night I'll go check out the business side. And on Friday, I'll go to Aries City."

"You really know how to choose the right time." Luo Jiayang said, "You left when the big boss came to inspect the company? Are you going to stop pretending to be your filial son and grandson?

In the administrative office, Lu Jin was already walking towards them with a stack of documents in his arms.Luo Binhan pointed in the direction of the elevator, signaling Luo Jiayang to get out. "Do you know why I pretend to be more like you?" He saw that Luo Jiayang still refused to leave. "Because I won't treat myself as the center of the universe like a baby. If I miss a mouthful of milk, I will scream at everyone." He pressed his lips while speaking, smiling at Lu Jin and waving his hand, "Now ,roll."
