After dropping Lin Mei off at the company, Lin Feng's job was done. He then entered his Assistant Office while Lin Mei went into the President's Office, and he started playing games.
No one in the company commented on Lin Mei's tardiness; after all, it was a private enterprise, and the Lin family were the sole shareholders. Lin Mei could come and go as she pleased, and no one else had the right to say anything about it. It was absurd to think that employees would criticize their boss for being late.
As for Lin Feng, he was now Lin Mei's assistant. Although he was theoretically expected to adhere to company rules, everyone knew that he had to pick Lin Mei up and drop her off every day. Since Lin Mei was late, it was only natural that Lin Feng, as her assistant, would also arrive late.
However, what others might not realize was that Lin Mei had actually waited at home for half an hour for Lin Feng.
Of course, neither Lin Mei nor Lin Feng would mention this; probably only Li Shuzhen knew about it. And clearly, Li Shuzhen wouldn't bring it up unnecessarily.
Sitting in front of the computer, Lin Feng waited for it to boot up while thinking about being followed earlier that day. With his strong mental acuity, if he felt someone was tailing him, then someone definitely was—there was no room for doubt or misinterpretation.
Now, he needed to consider why someone would be following him.
After some thought, Lin Feng concluded that since arriving at Golden Dragon Group, the only people he had conflicts with were likely from the Xu Family.
That day, he had offended the Xu Family by standing up for Xiao Yue, so it made sense that they might send someone to follow him.
But why would the Xu Family be tracking him? Lin Feng knew that even if they wanted to deal with him now, all they likely had on him was information about his current situation in City J—just a capable bodyguard. If that were the case, what kind of so-called investigation were they preparing against him?
What kind of family was the Xu Family? They were on par with the Lin family; it was impossible for them not to have a few skilled individuals in their ranks. So while Lin Feng strongly suspected it was someone from the Xu Family following him, he still couldn't understand why they hadn't taken direct action and instead chose to conduct surveillance.
After some probing in the morning, Lin Feng could confirm that whoever was following him was merely conducting surveillance and did not seem intent on attacking him.
Firstly, this person clearly wasn't an assassin lying in wait for a lethal strike. Secondly, their skills were mediocre at best—just a thief. Could such a person really handle him? Although Lin Feng hadn't revealed much of his strength in City J, what he had shown was certainly not low-level. The Xu Family wouldn't send someone like that to confront him.
Lin Feng did not understand whether it was indeed members of the Xu Family who were following him.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Lin Feng decided not to dwell on it. If it really was the Xu Family trying to deal with him, he had nothing to fear. Could they send someone stronger than him to confront him? And when it came to power, Lin Feng was currently a guest of the Lin Family; the Xu Family would need to think carefully before taking action against him.
Moreover, the conflict between Lin Feng and the Xu Family was merely due to Lin Feng dealing with a second-generation member of the Xu Family. Although it might have looked bad on the surface, it did not threaten the fundamental interests of the Xu Family. Lin Feng believed that the Xu Family would not go all out against him just for that reason, especially considering he had the backing of the Lin Family.
The larger the family, the more cautious they needed to be; otherwise, the consequences could be dire. Lin Feng was sure that the members of the Xu Family understood this well.
So even if the Xu Family members wanted to cause trouble for him, Lin Feng had nothing to fear. He would face whatever came his way.
After some interactions, Xiao Ya's attitude towards Lin Feng improved significantly. The most obvious sign was that now when Lin Feng played on his computer at work, Xiao Ya did not say anything to him. She seemed to have come to terms with it; after all, even Lin Mei had not commented on Lin Feng playing games at work. There was no reason for her to pick a fight with him, especially since her impression of Lin Feng was relatively good at this point.
After spending another day at work, Lin Feng decided not to organize any materials himself; that was all handled by Xiao Ya. He knew that the main reason Old Lin had made him an assistant was to protect Lin Mei. As for everything else, it was probably just an excuse for him to earn a little extra salary each month.
Lin Feng naturally understood this unspoken agreement. Therefore, since Xiao Ya did not pressure him to learn any assistant skills, he comfortably chose to slack off.
Lin Feng knew that being lazy could lead to a bright future.
With some help from small games, he managed to stretch his time until the end of the workday in the afternoon.
He even set an alarm on his mobile phone; as soon as it was time to leave work, he immediately shut down his computer and headed to Lin Mei's office to urge her to go home quickly.
This time was no different; when Lin Feng arrived at the President's Office, he found Lin Mei unusually packing up her things. It seemed she was preparing to leave.
"Ha ha... Lin Dong is indeed Lin Dong, knowing how to balance work and rest. That's right; life should have some regularity," Lin Feng smiled and praised when he saw that Lin Mei was no longer delaying her departure.
"Haha... Grandma wants to see you, so she specifically told me to come back early." Lin Mei was already used to this; she had grown accustomed to Lin Feng's chatter. The best way to deal with him was to ignore him or change the subject to something more pressing, so he wouldn't continue.
"Oh, I see." Upon hearing this, Lin Feng felt a bit dejected. This meant that Lin Mei was on time for work today because she had something to attend to, which implied that things would remain the same as before—after work, he might still have to wait for a while.
"Lin Dong, I think there's something we need to discuss properly." After a pause, Lin Feng stubbornly addressed Lin Mei, who was tidying up her desk.
Although Lin Mei had a secretary and trusted Xiao Ya, she never let anyone else handle her desk organization. Lin Feng had asked her why, and she simply replied, "It's just easier this way."
Of course, Lin Feng knew that this wasn't just about convenience. He suspected that Lin Mei did this mainly because she wanted to work in a familiar environment tomorrow, avoiding any inefficiency caused by unfamiliarity.
"Go ahead," Lin Mei said as she continued tidying up.
"Even though I haven't met our grandma..." Lin Feng began preparing for a lengthy speech.
"Wait... stop right there... it's not our grandma; it's my grandma, okay? Comrade Lin Feng," Lin Mei interrupted him with an eye roll.
Recently, Lin Mei had noticed that the more familiar she became with Lin Feng, the more he tended to ramble nonsensically.
"Haha... slip of the tongue," Lin Feng chuckled and explained.
"Alright, regardless, based on my belief, your grandma must be a very loving elderly lady whom both you and Old Lin cherish deeply. Right? What has she worked hard for all her life? Isn't it to avoid loneliness in her old age? To have companionship? Although Old Lin doesn't manage the group's affairs, I imagine that in such a large family as the Lins, Old Lin as the pillar must be quite busy. As her granddaughter, shouldn't you spend some time with her? Even if she doesn't say anything or make any demands, this longing is something natural for someone her age. Have you never thought about it?" Lin Feng continued persuading her, essentially urging Lin Mei to visit her grandmother more often.
"Don't answer me just yet; I know you have a lot of work at the company and are always busy. But do you realize that there are many tasks every day? They are heavy responsibilities. To put it bluntly, ten or twenty years from now, even if you want to set aside your work to spend time with your grandma, it might not be possible anymore. Do you really want to regret it then?" Seeing that Lin Mei was about to say something, he waved his hand to stop her and continued passionately persuading her. In the end, he still stood on his moral high ground and kept lecturing.
In fact, what he really wanted was for Lin Mei to visit her grandmother often and leave work on time so that he could also leave on time.
"I..." Lin Mei wanted to say something, but thinking about it, she realized that she indeed had very little time to spend with her grandmother. Remembering how her grandmother took care of her when she was young, and how she always clung to her grandmother back then, Lin Mei suddenly felt that, as Lin Feng said, if she didn't accompany her grandmother now, she might really experience the pain of "wanting to care for one's parents but not being able to" in the future.
"Let's go, I will take good care of Grandma," Lin Mei said to Lin Feng, feeling there was no need to argue anymore and making a promise instead.
With that thought, she walked out of the office, deep in thought.
Lin Feng stared blankly as Lin Mei left the office. He suddenly felt that perhaps he was quite talented? Had he really managed to persuade Lin Mei like this?
However, regardless of how it happened, this was the outcome Lin Feng wanted to see. It allowed Lin Mei to spend time with the elderly while also relieving her burden. Most importantly, it meant that Lin Feng could leave work on time.
Great! Killing three birds with one stone.
With this in mind, Lin Feng followed Lin Mei out with a cheerful step.
When they reached the garage, Lin Feng drove the car out while saying to Lin Mei, "So hurriedly, are you preparing some gifts?"
"No need for that. The Lin family doesn't lack anything; besides, Grandma mainly wants to thank you," Lin Mei shook her head and replied.
Lin Feng thought about it and agreed; the Lin family was indeed wealthy and didn't need anything. So he stopped pressing the matter and drove towards Lin Family Manor.
He was very familiar with this route and drove smoothly, quickly arriving at Lin Family Manor.
