Chapter 32 - Grievance!

The next day.

The General Manager’s Office.

Chang Yuan knocked on the door and walked in.

“Director Lin, you wanted to see me.”

Lin Luoluo smiled and said,

“Minister Chang, over the years in the engineering department, you have been suppressed by Yang Hao, causing you much grievance.”

Chang Yuan quickly replied,

“Director Lin, I’m fine.

As long as I can contribute to the company, anything goes.”

Lin Luoluo sighed.

“Good.

If the group had more people like you, that would be great.”

Chang Yuan gave a wry smile.

“Director Lin, you flatter me.”

“Alright, let’s cut the pleasantries and get down to business.

Can the engineering department complete those three projects within a month?”

Chang Yuan said very firmly,

“Director Lin, no problem.

Now that Yang Hao is no longer interfering, we will definitely complete them.”

Lin Luoluo nodded and said,

“Good, as long as the projects are smoothly completed this time, I will suggest to the board of directors to make you head of the engineering department.”

Chang Yuan looked truly grateful.

“Thank you for your cultivation, Director Lin.”

“During this time, I will do my utmost to oversee this matter.

I absolutely won’t let down your expectations, Director Lin.”

Lin Luoluo nodded.

“Good, Minister Chang, then I’ll leave you to it.

If you have any difficulties, feel free to communicate with me at any time.”

“Rest assured, Director Lin.

I will handle it well.”

“Alright, go on with your work.”

Chang Yuan turned and walked out.

Lin Luoluo rubbed her temples.

Thank goodness for Chang Yuan.

There shouldn’t be any problems with the engineering for now, but that payment from Tongming Building Materials is a big headache.

Lin Luoluo hesitated for a moment, then picked up her cell phone and dialed Wang Hu, the owner of Tongming Building Materials.

“Mr.

Wang, hello.”

Wang Hu’s voice carried the heavy trace of a deep, thirty-year-old phlegm.

“To think Director Lin would call me, that’s quite rare.”

“Mr.

Wang, you jest.

How’s business been lately?”

“It’s very kind of Director Lin to care.

How about this, let’s have dinner together this evening, and I’ll tell you all about it.”

Wang Hu used to be involved in the underworld, and although he’s now a boss, his habits haven’t changed in the slightest.

Lin Luoluo deeply disliked such people, but had to keep her anger in check due to his status.

“Mr.

Wang, you must have heard that Lin Group is not doing so well lately.

I’m swamped with work.

I don’t have any time to go out for drinks.”

“Is that so?

That’s really a shame.

Just last night, I dreamt about you, Director Lin.

It was quite a lovely dream,” Wang Hu said, becoming more brazen.

Lin Luoluo held back her anger and said,

“Mr.

Wang, about the project we collaborated on previously, it’s been completed for a while, and there’s still a final payment of about three million.

If it’s convenient for you, could you please transfer it to me?

I’m in urgent need of the money.”

Wang Hu maintained his casual tone,

“Ah, I’ve been tight on funds lately too.

Tongming Building Materials is a small business after all; we can’t compare to Lin Group.

Give me three more days, beautiful Director Lin.

I’ll definitely transfer it to you then.”

Lin Luoluo gritted her teeth in frustration.

“Mr.

Wang, that’s what you said when I called last time…”

“What are you implying, Director Lin?

Are you suggesting that I, Wang Hu, am not a man of my word?”

Wang Hu’s tone suddenly became fierce.

“Mr.

Wang, that’s not what I meant…”

Wang Hu cut her off.

“Director Lin, though I, Wang Hu, may be just a small boss, I still have some status in Yancheng’s building materials industry.

If you talk about me like that, I’ll get angry, and my friends might get angry too.”

“And when they get angry, who knows what they might do.”

Wang Hu was clearly threatening Lin Luoluo.

Because the Lin Group couldn’t carry out any construction projects without the supply of building materials.

Lin Luoluo wasn’t afraid of Wang Hu’s threat, but it was a major headache.

It wasn’t possible for Wang Hu alone to hold up the Lin Group, but he could certainly cause the costs to increase considerably.

Extra costs that would exceed three million by far.

“Mr.

Wang, you’ve misunderstood.

That’s not what I meant.

What I mean is, you don’t have to pay back the money.

I’ll come up with the funds personally to cover your part.”

Lin Luoluo, at that moment, felt a deep sense of injustice.

What kind of situation was this?

Using her own money to pay off someone else’s debt to her—she felt like a total sucker.

But there was no other way.

To prevent Yang Hao’s schemes from succeeding, she had to resort to such measures.

However, Wang Hu was far from grateful.

“Director Lin, are you trying to slap my face?

Am I, Wang Hu, someone who lacks three million?

If this gets out, how can I, Wang Hu, continue in this business?”

“What do you want, Mr.

Wang?” Lin Luoluo finally lost her patience.

Wang Hu chuckled and said,

“It’s simple.

When Director Lin isn’t so busy, let’s have a little drink together.

It’s just three million; I’ll transfer it on the spot.”

Lin Luoluo bit her red lip hard.

She well knew what kind of person Wang Hu was.

That dinner was definitely something she couldn’t attend.

“Mr.

Wang, let’s wait a few days then.

I’ll invite you to dinner later on.”

“If you would have said that earlier, all would be settled.

I’ll be waiting for you, beautiful Director Lin,” Wang Hu said with a lewd laugh.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Luoluo was so angry she slammed her cell phone down on the table.

Meanwhile, Wang Hu hummed a little tune and opened up Lin Luoluo’s social media profile, scrolling through her photos.

“Tch, this kind of woman must be fun to play with.”

“If I get to have a go with her even once in this lifetime, it’ll be worth it, hahaha…”
