"Come in."
Minister Zhao took a deep puff of his cigarette and exhaled a thick puff of smoke.
Amidst the smoke, his face was filled with worry.
The door opened.
Lin Fan pushed the door open and walked in.
"Director Zhao, Director Hei asked me to send you this week's financial statements. Please sign after you have a look.”Lin Fan walked into Minister Zhao's office with a thick stack of documents.
"Put down the report." Minister Zhao nodded.
He took a deep look at the young man in front of him. He was tall and looked quite energetic.
He had some impression of Lin Fan. When Lin Fan's deadbeat father held a meeting to chase after him, Department Head Zhao had once participated in Comrade Old Lin's meeting.
"You must be Xiao Lin. I heard that your job is very good. You must do your best and not let your father down.”Minister Zhao encouraged Lin Fan.
Lin Fan nodded his head and thanked him.
"Thank you for your encouragement, Minister Zhao. I will definitely not let down my father and Minister Zhao's expectations of me.”Lin Fan said seriously.
? Minister Zhao smiled and nodded. Lin Fan's words made him happy.
Then, Lin Fan said," Minister Zhao, you should smoke less in the future. Smoking is not good for your health."”
Lin Fan's words touched the softest part of Chief Zhao's heart.
Ever since he became the head of the finance department, everyone who saw him flattered him, looked at his expression, flattered him, and praised him.
However, no one knew about the pain in Chief Zhao's heart, and no one really cared about him.
Lin Fan asked him to smoke less. This simple word of concern warmed Minister Zhao's heart.
"Thank you, Xiao Lin. I'll smoke less in the future. It's just that I've been under too much pressure recently.”
"By the way, Xiao Lin, this afternoon, Factory Manager Yang and Deputy Factory Manager Li wanted to invite me to dinner. Whose banquet do you think I should attend?”
Perhaps he felt that Lin Fan was just a small accountant who had just joined the job not long ago and didn't know anything about the official world, but Minister Zhao actually asked Lin Fan such a question.
Lin Fan chuckled out in his heart. It seemed like he had made the right decision to come here this time.
Actually, Director Hei had always been the one to deliver the financial statements to the finance department head in the past.
This time, Department Director Hei was extremely busy. Lin Fan volunteered to try his luck with Department Head Zhao.
As a self-made billionaire, Lin Fan knew the importance of opportunities and luck.
The opportunity has come, and it's fleeting. If you can't grasp it, you might not encounter such an opportunity in your life.
However, luck was different. Luck was a very mysterious thing that could not be explained many times.
? But Lin Fan knew that only by participating would he have a chance to get lucky. If he didn't even participate, where would his luck come from?
Lin Fan pretended to think for a moment and smiled,""Director Zhao, you said that Factory Manager Yang and Deputy Factory Manager Li both want to treat you to a meal? This was a good thing? Why do you look so sad?"
"Sigh, don't mention it. The higher the rank, the more powerful the person. I don't dare to offend the two factory directors. You're not in my position, so you don't know how dangerous it is.”Minister Zhao smiled bitterly.
? The reason why he said this to Lin Fan was because he didn't think much of him.
When had an elephant ever cared about ants?
Lin Fan was delighted. This was his chance.
"Minister Zhao, I know a little about danger. In my hometown, when the villagers encountered something they couldn't make up their minds about, they would often do a divination or a reading.”Lin Fan said.
"That's feudal superstition.”Minister Zhao waved his hand.
Lin Fan had been observing the situation. He realized that although Minister Zhao said that superstitions were not allowed, his expression was a little moved.
"Minister Zhao, I know that fortune-telling is a feudal superstition, but divination does have some logic. For example, there used to be a Taoist temple at the village entrance of our hometown. The Taoist priest in the Taoist temple specialized in divination, and every time, he was very accurate. When I was very young, I learned divination from the Taoist priest for a few years.”Lin Fan smiled and explained.
"What is it? Little Lin, you know how to read characters?" Minister Zhao was immediately interested.
"I only know a little. I haven't used it for many years.”Lin Fan smiled shyly.
"It's good to know a little. Xiao Lin, come here. I'll write a word and you can help me test it.”? Minister Zhao seemed to have seen hope and waved at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan walked to Chief Zhao's side. Chief Zhao picked up a pen and wrote a word on the paper,"
yang
The moment he saw this word, Lin Fan knew that Chief Zhao already had an idea. He was going to side with Factory Manager Yang.
Lin Fan's intuition was very sharp. He could tell what Chief Zhao was thinking just by looking at that word.
Minister Zhao definitely felt that Manager Yang was the head of the rolling mill and had a backer behind him. As the newly appointed finance minister, he should side with Manager Yang.
However, Lin Fan knew that not long after, when the storm came, not only was Manager Yang ousted, but even the backer behind Manager Yang was also ousted. Everyone in Manager Yang's faction was punished and criticized.
Therefore, Lin Fan couldn't let Chief Zhao side with Factory Manager Yang. Otherwise, as a member of the finance department, he would be implicated.
"Xiao Lin, don't you know how to read words? Test this word for me." Minister Zhao smiled at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan took the pen from Minister Zhao and pretended to frown. He pondered for a moment.
He circled the word "Yang" next to the word "Mu".
? Lin Fan explained," This Yang character has a wood character next to it. This wood character is his backer. This means that this Yang is in a high position and is very noble."”
? Minister Zhao looked at Lin Fan in surprise and nodded with a smile.
"Alright, Xiao Lin, you're quite something. Continue.”Minister Zhao encouraged.
? Lin Fan continued," As the saying goes, everything changes. Currently, this Yang is in a high position and has a noble aura. But in a few years, this Yang will be unlucky.”
"How do you know? Little Lin, tell me quickly." Minister Zhao said nervously.
Lin Fan took out a fountain pen and drew a line beside the wooden word " Yang ". Then, he wrote three points of water on it.
"Little Lin, what do you mean?" Minister Zhao was puzzled.
"'Yang', if your backer falls, and you don't have the word' wooden 'beside you, won't you become' soup 'when it rains? It's the 'soup' of a drenched chicken, don't you think so, Minister Zhao?”Lin Fan asked with a smile.
