Volume 5: Qingming Chapter 32: Master
Lin Yu lowered his head and took a bite of meat.
A white porcelain cup was pushed in front of him.
He raised his head slightly and Jiang Mo looked at him.
Lin Yu asked uncertainly: "Do you want more milk?"
Jiang Mo bent the index finger of his right hand towards him.
"Want to heat it up?"
The index finger bent again.
Lin Yu stood up with the white porcelain cup and walked towards the beverage area.
Pour the milk, find the waiter, heat it up...
When he came back with the hot milk, he saw Jiang You had just returned from the dining area. He was holding a paper box with three colored balls of ice cream in it. He said, "The ice cream is over there. Turn around from the salmon counter. You have to scoop it yourself."
Lin Yu put the milk next to Jiang Mo and sat down.
Jiang Mo picked up the cup, took a sip and put it down.
"My son really likes you." Jiang You said.
Lin Yu smiled and didn't respond.
"I'm not trying to keep you in suspense or be mysterious," Jiang You said while eating ice cream, "but language itself is ambiguous. What I want to express and what you understand may be completely different."
“I think it’s a communication problem.”
"You have been an ordinary person for more than 30 years. Your cognition and common sense are all within the scope of ordinary people. If I insist on explaining it to you, I must use many, many examples to make you understand, but this may deviate further from the essence of things."
Seeing Lin Yu's bewildered expression, Jiang You made an analogy, "It's just like the secret manuals of martial arts. Some people can become peerless masters, some are just mediocre and can only use it as a physical exercise, and some are even more miserable, going crazy and losing their descendants."
"So this depends on your understanding?" Lin Yu asked.
"Forget it. Mainly because we are not in a hurry."
“I always feel uneasy.”
"When things come, just do it. You'll understand after a few times," Jiang You peeled a shrimp and stuffed it into his mouth. "Just like you guys do sales, after reading hundreds of sales bibles and sales secrets, can you be the top performer? It's not like playing games to gain favor with NPCs, with a progress bar and a guide. No book dares to clearly state that you can get the order by just raising your eyebrows three times, right?"
Lin Yu agreed and said, "It's like this. After the company stabilized, because I was a newcomer, I envied those big companies and thought they were formal, so I paid for people from a consulting company to come and teach us."
“This lesson isn’t cheap, is it?”
"We didn't look for those outsourcing consulting companies, but the teacher also came from there. His team conducted research in our company for about a week. They have strong learning abilities and are very sharp. They spotted many problems right away."
“That’s very expensive.”
"It is expensive." Lin Yu admitted.
“Did you make the money back?”
"It is still a little helpful. Big companies have the final say. If they let a little money slip through their fingers, others will be willing to cooperate with them. But for a small company like mine," Lin Yu looked out the window, where rain was falling from the dark clouds. "After I took over the factory, it was almost the end of the year. Actually, things were already improving, but there was still no money. Not to mention bonuses, I couldn't even pay all the salaries. I thought everyone worked so hard with me, and I couldn't even get any money back during the Chinese New Year."
"What did you do?"
"There was a debt owed to him. Every time we contacted him, he was very nice and said he would pay us back once he got the money back. But we couldn't see him, so we couldn't see the money either. So a few of my friends and I went to block him outside his residential area. We waited for several days and finally caught up with him."
"Did he pay it back?"
"It was paid back. His daughter and son-in-law live in the same neighborhood as him," Lin Yu smiled bitterly. "With this money, everyone got a little bonus. In the second year, everyone worked together and it really took off," Lin Yu sighed. "It's a small company. There's nothing we can do about it. I'm too proud, but the people below me need to eat."
"It's different because of how close you are."
"That's right."
"Our field is a vast blue ocean, don't worry."
Lin Yu thought about it and concluded: "So my current situation is that I am a newcomer to the industry, and you are my mentor."
“You can think of it that way.”
"Master Jiang."
"I'm younger than you, you should call me Master Jiang, no, never mind, it's up to you," Jiang You saw Jiang Mo laughing from the corner of his eye, he reached out to pick up his cup and drank the remaining milk in it, "After we finish eating, I'll go back to my room to take a nap, you can hang out here or go out if you want."
"Okay, what are your plans for dinner?"
"Wait until you wake up. It's vacation, relax."
…
Tang Butian watched the raindrops falling slantingly from the window.
Zhao, who was sleeping in a long line on Jiang You's chair, turned over, twisted a few times, jumped off the chair, and walked towards the meeting room, wagging its tail.
"The recruitment seems to be much bigger than when I first arrived," said Sun Yu.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Tang Butian turned around.
Wu Yulan pushed the door open and walked in, "Section Chief Tang."
"Sister Wu." Sun Yu called her.
"You're here too," Wu Yulan glanced at Sun Yu's computer screen, "Are you writing a report?"
"Right," Sun Yu stood up and turned off the screen. "Zhong Xiu just asked me for a while. I'll go out for a while."
"Okay." Tang Butian said.
After Sun Yu closed the door and left, Tang Butian looked at Wu Yulan and asked, "Did Zhuang Zekun ask you to come?"
"Yes, apart from Sister Qingtong, I am the only one in Tangjiang," Wu Yulan walked to Tang Butian, "I heard that Master Hongzhen saved more than a hundred souls who were obsessed with the soul in one night?"
"Yes."
Wu Yulan asked tentatively, "Why are there so many suddenly?"
"This is all I know about alien spiritual powers. You can look up the rest, or have the research institute look up the rest. I have no objection."
"I know this. I just wonder if these two things are related. If so, then..."
“After the report is uploaded, you can check it.”
Wu Yulan nodded, "Then I'll wait for the report." She paused and asked, "Do you plan to keep Sun Yu in the Special Operations Department?"
"What do you want to say?"
"I want to remind you that he is just an ordinary person."
Tang Butian pursed her lips.
"Mingjie is also from the Special Operations Group. We never thought that he would be with the Jinghu Society... He used to hate evil and even offended many people because of it," Wu Yulan looked out the window. "I managed to meet him a few days ago. He said that he was an ordinary person, so he could only look up to us. He just wanted to catch up with us. Maybe for ordinary people..."
"Nonsense," Tang Butian interrupted Wu Yulan and said, "I came down from the mountain."
"That's right. You people in the mountains never treat us as human beings..."
