Lin Hao knew that girls needed to maintain their figures, so he didn't ask further. He looked at the breakfast in front of him and began to devour it.
"Is that enough? Do you want more?"
Dong Mengxue had just finished one bun when she saw Lin Hao quickly finish his breakfast. Fearing he hadn't eaten enough, she asked.
"That's enough, I'm full. It's not good to eat too much for breakfast," Lin Hao said with a smile to Dong Mengxue.
Hearing Lin Hao's words, Dong Mengxue realized that it wasn't good for him to eat too much after running. She stopped urging him and continued eating her breakfast.
Lin Hao quietly watched Dong Mengxue eat breakfast. Her small bites had a certain elegance.
Dong Mengxue noticed Lin Hao's gaze, and her face flushed slightly. She became even more cautious not to eat too quickly, afraid that Lin Hao would see her ungraceful side. After finishing her egg and drinking her porridge, she gently wiped her mouth.
"Are you going to class?"
The two walked out of the cafeteria together. Class was about to start, and Dong Mengxue wasn't sure of Lin Hao's plans, so she looked at him and asked.
"I'm not going to the classroom; it's like listening to gibberish. You go to class, I'll just wander around the school."
Hearing Lin Hao's words, Dong Mengxue smiled, and then gently covered her mouth when she realized her lapse in composure.
"Alright then, I'll head back to school. Goodbye."
"Bye-bye."
After they parted ways, Lin Hao wanted to wander around the school, as he hadn't really looked around yesterday. After a while, Lin Hao's cell phone rang.
"Hello, Dad."
"Son, about what you said last night, I've found 4 people for you at the company. Do you want to see them?"
"Okay, I'll head over now." Lin Hao thought for a moment and decided it would be better to take a look.
"I'll have Dabiao come pick you up," Lin Fugui said over the phone.
"No need, I'll ride my bike over myself."
"Alright then, be careful on the road," Lin Fugui said worriedly.
At this time, Huaian was not peaceful; it was quite chaotic, with frequent fights and even triad gangs. However, the biggest boss was undoubtedly Lin Fugui, who managed to become the richest man in Huainan City, owning 10 coal mines, and having hundreds of subordinates under his command.
Social order in the 1980s and 1990s was not like it is now, especially for those involved in coal mining. The saying, "If you're not ruthless, you can't stand firm," was not a joke. You might wake up one day and find your coal mine no longer belonged to you. Mine grabbing was common, and even the government couldn't control it.
However, Lin Hao was just a student and had just returned, so no one was paying attention to him. Nothing happened along the way, and he rode his bicycle to Lin's Mining Company.
The company was located in a large building, with Lin's Mining occupying a large portion of it.
Lin Hao had been there a few times a long time ago but hadn't returned since. Now, after parking his bicycle, Lin Hao was about to enter when he was stopped by the building's property security guard.
"No entry without a work pass. To enter, you must first register and then have someone come down to pick you up," the security guard said dutifully to Lin Hao.
Hearing the security guard's words, Lin Hao paused. He remembered it wasn't necessary before. Not wanting to make things difficult for the security guard, Lin Hao called Lin Fugui, and soon Lin Fugui's Secretary Zhao came down.
"Lin Shao, I'm sorry, I'm late," Lin Fugui's Secretary Zhao said breathlessly to Lin Hao, clearly having run all the way down.
"Secretary Zhao, you're too kind. I'm troubling you," Lin Hao said with a smile.
Lin Fugui's Secretary Zhao was male. A female secretary was out of the question; this was arranged by Zheng Wanrong. Zheng Wanrong started the business with Lin Fugui and now serves as the Financial Manager and concurrently the HR Manager at the company. Besides Lin Fugui, Zheng Wanrong holds the highest position in the company.
Lin Hao naturally knew Secretary Zhao. As Lin Fugui's secretary, Lin Hao had seen him many times.
"Lin Shao, this way please," Secretary Zhao gestured for Lin Hao to go first.
At this moment, the security guard was a bit anxious and no longer requested registration. He knew Secretary Zhao, who was with Lin Fugui, the richest man in Huainan City, every day. Moreover, Lin's Mining Company was their property company's biggest client, so he naturally didn't dare to offend him.
Could this person called Lin Shao be Lin Fugui's son? Then his attitude just now should have been fine, right?
Lin Hao followed Secretary Zhao into the elevator and went to the top floor. When they entered the company, many people looked over curiously, wondering who Secretary Zhao had personally gone down to pick up.
Upon seeing Lin Hao's appearance, they all began to speculate, mainly because he was too young, and crucially, Secretary Zhao looked so cautious, which further fueled the employees' gossip.
Following Secretary Zhao into Lin Fugui's office, besides Lin Fugui, there were 4 other people. They must be the four people mentioned: 3 men and 1 woman.
"Let me introduce everyone, this is my son, Lin Hao. These four are company elites. Please introduce yourselves."
Lin Fugui saw Lin Hao arrive and said to everyone.
"Hello, Lin Shao, I am Wang Youde from the Business Department."
"Lin Shao, I am Wu Kaiwen from the Business Department."
"Hello, Lin Shao, I am Zhou Hailiang from the Business Department."
"Hello, Lin Shao, I am Yang Qian'er from the Public Relations Department."
The four introduced themselves in turn.
"Hello everyone, this time I want to ask you to come with me to South Korea. There might be a business negotiation that requires your help, so foreign language skills are necessary. English is a must, and Korean would be even better."
The four looked at each other. "Lin Shao, we all speak English, but none of us speak Korean," Yang Qian'er stepped forward and said.
"It's okay if you don't speak Korean; English is fine. This trip might take some time, so if anyone has inconveniences, please speak up. Of course, I won't let you work for nothing. During this period, your salaries will be paid normally, and you'll receive a travel allowance. Additionally, I will personally give you an extra bonus."
None of the four spoke up. They weren't fools; the boss personally assigned it, and the benefits were so good now. Only a fool wouldn't take it.
"Since there are no objections, it's settled. We'll depart on the 27th. In the next few days, we'll get your passports and visas processed. The company will handle it centrally for everyone, using the fast track."
After the matter was discussed, the four left first. In the office, only Lin Hao and Lin Fugui remained.
"Dad, you won't blame me for making decisions on my own, will you?" Lin Hao had said those things without discussing them with Lin Fugui beforehand.
"You've already said it, what's the point of me blaming you? But I'm becoming more and more curious about what you're going to do in South Korea. You don't seem like you're just going to watch a game."
Lin Fugui was very satisfied with Lin Hao's performance just now; he was becoming more and more mature. He had truly grown up in the past six months.
"Mainly to watch the game, and do some other things along the way."
"Alright, I'll have Dabiao bring three other bodyguards to go with you."
