Chapter 232: Chapter 232
Chen Sikai, in order to cooperate with Longheng Group, decisively fired Xue Henry.
Xue Henry was shocked; he didn’t want to lose his job over this, as it was a great job for him.
"President Chen, you can’t fire me, what did I do wrong?" Xue Henry couldn’t help but shout.
Chen Sikai chuckled, "Causing the company to lose this collaboration, that’s your fault!"
Xue Henry protested, "She was late, isn’t it okay for me to mention her tardiness?"
Chen Sikai said sternly, "Xue Henry, shut your mouth and get lost!"
He was a bit angry. This Xue Henry was a real blockhead, having no sense of the situation. It was Sile Company that needed to cooperate with Longheng; even if Feng Ruolan were half an hour late or rescheduled, Sile would have to accept it.
But Xue Henry insisted on his so-called Western standards, making an issue of Feng Ruolan’s tardiness and even insulting Lin Fan, angering Feng Ruolan.
If he wasn’t fired, this cooperation would truly fall through.
Xue Henry exclaimed, "I’m not convinced, I will complain to the head office about you!"
Chen Sikai sneered, "You can try. You probably don’t know, but the head office values this cooperation with Longheng greatly. If you ruin it, do you think the head office would let you go?"
Xue Henry’s face changed. He only just realized the severity of the issue!
Now Sile Company was at the mercy of Longheng Company, and he had offended them...
The head office forgiving him was a fantasy!
Having lost his only backing, Xue Henry was finally afraid.
Xue Henry kneeled down, almost crying, "I was wrong. I apologize for what I said earlier. Can you not fire me?"
Chen Sikai coldly replied, "See if Miss Feng forgives you?"
Xue Henry quickly turned to Feng Ruolan, "Miss Feng, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that. Can you forgive me?"
Feng Ruolan replied, "I’m sorry, but you insulted my brother. I won’t forgive you!"
Xue Henry cried, "I’m sorry, I didn’t know he was your brother. I thought he was your driver. If I knew he was your brother, I definitely wouldn’t have insulted him like that."
Lin Fan chuckled, "What’s wrong with being a driver? Do you think drivers deserve to be insulted? You fake foreigner, do you look down on drivers?"
"I..." Xue Henry blushed, speechless for a moment.
Lin Fan said, "Just because you studied abroad for a few years, you seem to have forgotten your own ancestors and look down on your own country?"
Xue Henry, his face red, said, "I need to argue this. I merely went overseas to broaden my horizons and see the problems. Huaxia indeed lags behind the United States in many aspects. The United States is the strongest. Do you have a problem with that?"
Lin Fan said, "Are you saying my vision is narrow?"
Xue Henry replied, "If you could study abroad, you would understand."
Lin Fan said, "I don’t need to study abroad. I just know you worship foreign things blindly. You see a wealthy person abroad and think your real father isn’t as wealthy, so you look down on your father, claiming the wealthy foreigner as your father. Do you still think there’s nothing wrong with yourself?"
Lin Fan’s analogy was spot on, leaving Xue Henry speechless.
Lin Fan said, "Moreover, do you really think your real father is poor? You disloyal son, you probably have no idea how powerful your real father is!"
Xue Henry replied, "Is Huaxia strong? The gap with the United States is large. Don’t delude yourself."
Lin Fan smiled slightly, "Really, have you truly disowned your real father now? But even so, I forgive you."
Xue Henry was overjoyed, "You’re willing to forgive me?"
Feng Ruolan, curious, asked, "Little Fan, he just insulted you, and you forgive him?"
Lin Fan nodded, "Yes, I hope President Chen doesn’t fire him."
Chen Sikai was a bit surprised. Lin Fan turned out to be so magnanimous.
Xue Henry was extremely happy, "Thank you, Mr. Lin. President Chen, since Mr. Lin said so, does that mean I won’t be fired?"
Chen Sikai looked at Feng Ruolan, only caring about her opinion.
Feng Ruolan said, "Since it’s Little Fan’s opinion, I have no objections."
Chen Sikai said, "Thank you, Miss Feng. Henry, you better thank Miss Feng!"
Xue Henry smiled, "Thank you, Miss Feng."
Lin Fan suddenly asked, "By the way, President Chen, I’d like to know if your Sile Company has a branch in Africa?"
Chen Sikai was taken aback, "Yes, why are you asking, Mr. Lin?"
Lin Fan said, "Then that’s good. I hope you can send this guy to Africa. Since he looks down on Huaxia, there’s no need for him to stay here. After spending some time in Africa, he might realize how strong his real father is."
Everyone was slightly stunned.
Feng Ruolan couldn’t help but laugh. Little Fan was ruthless. She was really fooled just now, thinking he had truly forgiven Xue Henry. Not so!
Feng Ruolan, suppressing laughter, said, "President Chen, if you want me to cooperate with your company, I definitely don’t want to see him in your company."
Chen Sikai wiped cold sweat, thinking in his heart that Lin Fan was someone not to be messed with. Last time he offended him, he ended up completely embarrassed.
This time Xue Henry offended Lin Fan; it was as if he had run straight into a trap!
Chen Sikai solemnly said, "Xue Henry, since you have won Mr. Lin’s forgiveness, I am rescinding the dismissal decision. However, I am deciding to assign you to the African branch for a long-term assignment. Don’t come back to Huaxia unless necessary. If you are unwilling to comply, you may submit your resignation letter to me."
Xue Henry’s smile froze, a look of shock on his face. Damn it, he was played by Lin Fan!
Lin Fan didn’t forgive him at all, rather dug a pit for him.
And he just foolishly jumped right in!
Xue Henry nearly cried himself unconscious.
Finally, Xue Henry was sent away. This fake foreigner who looked down on his own country was finally rolling abroad. Africa welcomes you.
Chen Sikai eagerly went up to Lin Fan, smiling ingratiatingly, "Mr. Lin, about last time at Tangchen Yipin, I offended you greatly. Please forgive me."
If Lin Fan weren’t Feng Ruolan’s brother, he wouldn’t care if Lin Fan forgave him, but since Lin Fan was her brother, he became someone he couldn’t afford to offend, and rather ought to curry favor with.
Lin Fan smiled, "President Chen, are you sincerely apologizing to me, or is it because of my sister?"
Chen Sikai’s face turned red with embarrassment after being seen through by Lin Fan, "I... I sincerely apologize..."
Lin Fan patted Chen Sikai’s shoulder, "Relax, I haven’t kept that trivial matter in my heart for a long time."
Indeed, since it wasn’t him who was embarrassed last time, but Chen Sikai.
Chen Sikai quickly said, "Thank you, Mr. Lin."
Lin Fan turned to Feng Ruolan, "Sister, you’re going to discuss business with President Chen. I’ll take my leave."
Feng Ruolan pulled Lin Fan aside, "Little Fan, when will you come see your sister again?"
Lin Fan replied, "Sister, when are you free?"
Feng Ruolan apologized, "I’d love to have dinner with you tonight, but I have an important event I must attend this evening."
Lin Fan said, "It’s okay, I have an event to attend tonight too, a birthday banquet."
Liu Tingshan had earnestly invited Lin Fan to tonight’s birthday banquet; it wouldn’t be appropriate not to go.
Feng Ruolan raised an eyebrow, "A birthday banquet? What a coincidence, I’m also invited to a birthday banquet tonight."
Lin Fan laughed, "Is that so? Could it be the same birthday banquet we’re attending?"
Feng Ruolan said, "Were you also invited by Mr. Liu?"
Lin Fan replied, "Yes!"
Feng Ruolan was delighted, "That’s great, Little Fan, then we’ll see each other tonight."
The two agreed to meet in the evening, then parted ways. Feng Ruolan and Chen Sikai went to the company to discuss cooperation, while Lin Fan drove away.
Tonight was Liu Tingshan’s birthday, and Lin Fan hadn’t prepared a gift yet, so he needed to go buy one.
Suddenly, Lin Fan received a call from Zhang Dafu.
"Boss, bad news, we just got notified that our construction site needs to stop work!" Zhang Dafu said anxiously.
