Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God

Chapter 655: You’re Not Very Good at Handling Things

"Boss, why?" Chen Hai was taken aback and asked shakily.The boss chuckled, "No reason. I used to think you were quite clever and good at handling things, but today I realize I was wrong about you."

Chen Hai was always at odds with Mr. Lin, and the boss didn’t want to get dragged down by him, so he wanted to quickly distance himself from Chen Hai, naturally resulting in his dismissal, especially in front of Mr. Lin to show his stance.

The thing Chen Hai was most proud of was his ability to smooth things over. It was because of this that, despite not having a high education and with only average work skills, he managed to win the boss’s favor. Relying on his cleverness, he navigated the workplace easily, becoming the boss’s loyal aide.

Today, however, it was precisely because he couldn’t smooth things over that he was kicked to the curb by the boss.

This was truly quite ironic.

Chen Hai panicked, really panicked, realizing he had let his anger cloud his judgment.

"Boss, you can’t fire me, I’ve worked so hard to get where I am in the company, if you fire me, I’ll have to start from scratch, I suddenly have no income, and I just bought an Audi A8, I still have the car loan to pay..."

Chen Hai pleaded and in his desperation knelt down with a thud.

The boss chuckled, "That’s no longer my business."

Ignoring Chen Hai, the boss approached Lin Fan with a forced smile and said, "Mr. Lin, I apologize for any offense today, and I ask for your forgiveness."

Having fired Chen Hai, the boss was now trying to earn points with Lin Fan, hoping to curry favor with him.

Lin Fan chuckled, "Boss Lin, you just taught everyone that young people need to be good at handling things, but it seems you’re not so great at it yourself. Today is Chen Hai’s wedding, he’s my childhood friend, and you fired him at his wedding, in front of his family and friends, isn’t that too much?"

"This..." The boss turned pale with fright and began to tremble, not knowing what to do for a moment.

How ironic, Lin Fan’s words were a slap in the face.

"Mr. Lin, I’m truly sorry, I was wrong, please don’t take this to heart," the boss pleaded, almost kneeling before Lin Fan.

Lin Fan said, "It’s fine, Boss Lin, I’m not taking it to heart. I’ve faced too much sarcasm and ridicule, your words don’t bother me."

"Mr. Lin is magnanimous. Thank you, Mr. Lin. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now," Lin Bin hurriedly said, turning and slipping away.

Today was too embarrassing, and he couldn’t stay any longer. Just acknowledging Mr. Lin’s identity lost him face and was unbearably awkward.

So it’s said, people should remain humble and not show off.

Chen Hai was left with no words and tears, the boss was gone, and so was his job.

"Chen Hai, don’t worry, aren’t you good at handling things? You’ll surely bounce back quickly," Lin Fan said with a smile. Though it sounded consoling, there was a hint of teasing.

Chen Hai’s face turned red with embarrassment.

Chen Datou then awkwardly said, "Little Fan, you’re the richest in Yun City, I heard you own a company worth 200 billion? Since Ah-Hai just lost his job, could you let Ah-Hai work with you in the future?"

Chen Datou thought well of it. Being Yun City’s richest and owning a 200 billion company, if Chen Hai could get into that company, wouldn’t it be better than before? Plus, Lin Fan and Chen Hai grew up together, with that relationship, getting a position should be simple!

Lin Fan was speechless, this Chen Datou really was shameless, really trying to exploit the situation.

Lin Fan remembered when Chen Datou came to his house with an invitation, acting all smug. He could understand a bit of pride since his son was doing well, but pride shouldn’t involve belittling others, showcasing superiority with one’s son, that was just annoying.

Although Lin Fan wouldn’t harbor resentment for this, it was still quite irritating.

"Xiaohai, why are you spacing out? Quickly pour tea for Brother Fan, if he’s pleased, he might even make you a supervisor," Chen Datou promptly urged his son.

Chen Hai finally realized. He was someone clever and good at handling things, he only lost his head due to not accepting that Lin Fan was doing better. Now he understood, he should leverage his strengths to please Lin Fan. If he could latch onto Lin Fan’s big tree, wouldn’t he reap benefits later!

"Brother Fan, have some tea!"

Chen Hai ran over eagerly, poured the tea himself, handed it to Lin Fan with a big smile, trying to please him.

Lin Fan, however, didn’t take it, smiling, "No need for such courtesy, we’ve been good friends since childhood, no need to stand on ceremony."

Chen Hai quickly laughed, "Absolutely, we’re good brothers, even closer than real brothers. I’ve always especially admired Brother Fan. Now that Brother Fan has become the richest man in Yun City, it’s a pride for our West River Village!"

Chen Hai flattered shamelessly.

Seeing Chen Hai like this, the villagers shook their heads in private. This Chen Hai, truly a fair-weathered person.

Lin Shanshan couldn’t hold back her urge to vomit and said, "Brother Hai, that wasn’t what you were saying before!"

Chen Hai was startled and awkwardly laughed, "No way, Shanshan, you must be misunderstanding, I..."

Lin Fan interrupted Chen Hai with curiosity, "I’d like to know, what did you say before?"

Chen Hai said, "I..."

Lin Shanshan said, "Brother, Chen Hai thought you were a delivery man and looked down on you, mocking you in every way. I don’t think he admired you when he was younger, at most he was jealous. Once he believed he was doing better than you, he got smug."

Lin Fan looked at Chen Hai and smiled, "Is that so?"

Lin Shanshan continued, "Not only did they look down on you, but on our whole family, especially making fun of dad."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan’s face darkened, "Is that so?"

In reality, whatever others said about him, he could ignore, but once it involved his father, the nature changed.

Chen Hai panicked, blushing, "No, that’s not how it was, there’s no way I would treat Uncle Da Gui like that, Uncle Da Gui is the elder I respect most, being respectful is not enough."

Lin Fan said lightly, "Alright, Chen Hai, I fully understand your previous behavior, but if you truly want to work at my company, I hope you can be honest with me, I like honest people."

Chen Hai was taken aback, what did Lin Fan mean by this, could it be that Lin Fan was really giving him a chance to develop at Mortal Group!

Chen Hai felt that this opportunity was something he absolutely couldn’t miss!

Chen Hai immediately burst into tears, "Brother Fan, I was wrong, I admit, I was indeed jealous of you when we were kids, because you were so excellent, you had better grades than me, you were taller and more handsome, I always wanted to be as outstanding as you. So when I thought you were just a delivery man, and I was doing better than you, I got carried away, felt a brief victory and said the wrong thing, I truly deserve to die, failing to recognize the mountain before me, Brother Fan, you’re magnanimous, please don’t hold it against me."

Chen Datou awkwardly chuckled, "Little Fan, it’s actually because you were so outstanding, would you consider letting Ah-Hai join your company..."

Lin Fan chuckled, "So, are you blaming me then?"
