Chapter 165: Still Work to Do During the Holiday!
Chapter 165: Still Work to Do During the Holiday!
Just at that moment, Lin Feng’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the incoming number, pondered for a moment, and then answered the call.
"Section Chief Zhao, it’s the holidays now, what do you need?" The holidays had begun, so what could Zhao Jian possibly need from him? Lin Feng found it very odd that Zhao Jian would choose this time to call him.
"Lin Feng, even though it’s the holidays, there’s still a lot of work left unfinished in our logistics department. We haven’t resolved everything with the dormitories yet, and I need you to come over now and help out. Although you’re teaching at the Language Institute for the time being, you’re still part of our office, and the work has to get done, doesn’t it?" As soon as Zhao Jian got through, he immediately assigned Lin Feng some work, not for any other reason but because he felt annoyed with Lin Feng. Ever since Lin Feng came to Yingbo University, he had never treated Zhao Jian as a leader, and from the very beginning, he hadn’t given Zhao Jian the slightest bit of respect. This was truly irritating!
Then, after Iceberg Leng transferred him to the Language Institute, Lin Feng had started to really escape Zhao Jian’s scrutiny. Zhao Jian couldn’t even find an excuse to trouble him, let alone confront Iceberg Leng who was impossible to dodge. Who would dare to misbehave under those circumstances?
Now, with the winter break starting and Iceberg Leng gone, as well as the students, Zhao Jian saw an opportunity to use various pretexts to thoroughly deal with Lin Feng, who in his opinion knew nothing. He had been holding in his anger for a long time and had been looking forward to the winter holidays to set Lin Feng straight!
"Oh, got it!" Lin Feng hung up the phone directly, not wanting to listen to Zhao Jian drone on like a Buddhist sutra. He was wondering, with the holidays already here, what could Zhao Jian possibly need from him at this time?
...
At the long-distance bus station, Shi Lei got off the bus dressed in very ordinary student clothes.
Lin Feng, you definitely won’t expect this. My classmates and I openly took the train home, and now I’ve come back by bus. You’ve put me through so much trouble; how could I just let it slide? If I don’t knock you down, how can I relieve this anger!
With those thoughts, Shi Lei disappeared into the night...
...
Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu watched Lin Feng on the phone, both feeling very curious about who would call Teacher Lin on the first day of the holiday.
"Teacher Lin, what’s the matter?" Ye Xiaoyu felt like Teacher Lin must have something going on; why was the call ended so abruptly? Teacher Lin had never been like that before. Could it be that he encountered something displeasing?
"Yeah, Teacher Lin, what could it be? It’s the holidays." Mao Rongrong also found it strange. Wasn’t it officially winter break now? What else could come up? Teacher Lin had been with them all day without any issues; now as evening approached, suddenly there was this call. It seemed to Rongrong that Teacher Lin was quite bothered by the caller; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so eager to hang up.
"It’s nothing much, just that the logistics department at the school wants me to go there now. They say there’s some work to wrap up before the holiday can begin. So, I’ll head over now and take a look." After saying that, Lin Feng stood up and walked out. It was getting late, and he wanted to see what the situation was. If possible, he wished to finish quickly so he could get home sooner.
"Teacher Lin, hold on, the school is deserted now that the holidays have started. Xiaoyu and I will come over and help you out; we have nothing to do at home anyway." Mao Rongrong offered to help Lin Feng out of her own accord. Teacher Lin had spent the whole day with them; it was only right they lend a hand. How could they comfortably let Teacher Lin work alone after accompanying them? Xiaoyu and Rongrong were just hanging around the house, anyway; helping out with some work wouldn’t hurt.
"Yeah, Teacher Lin, Xiaoyu and Sister Rongrong can come help you. With us there, the work will be finished much quicker, hehe!" Ye Xiaoyu got up and followed Mao Rongrong, thinking to herself as they went, why was Sister Rongrong so proactive in helping Teacher Lin today? But Teacher Lin was indeed too kind; if there was a chance to play matchmaker for them, it wouldn’t be bad. At least it would prevent those pretty boys from gaining any advantage.
"Alright then, let’s go together and see what it’s all about." Seeing how eager Ye Xiaoyu and Mao Rongrong were, Lin Feng didn’t have the heart to refuse their kindness. He let them both into his car, and he thought that maybe with their help, the work would indeed go faster.
...
"Section Chief Zhao, what exactly do you want to discuss regarding dormitory matters?" As soon as Lin Feng entered the door of the Comprehensive Department, he saw Zhao Jian playing landlord. Sun Lei and Wang Xiaomao also seemed to be sorting something on the side. Everyone looked quite relaxed, so what was the urgency with Zhao Jian needing me back right now? I might be under the Comprehensive Department, but I’ve already been at the School of Language Studies; to call me back in such a hurry during the holiday period, is he doing this on purpose to trouble me and give me a hard time?"
"Ah! You... how did you get here so quickly? This... this is the management record for each dormitory building. We need to compile all the information about unoccupied bunks and their locations to prepare for the new students next year." Zhao Jian was incredibly surprised to see Lin Feng arrive so quickly. Where did he come from, and how did he get here so fast? By the timing, he should have been near the school. Originally planning to make Lin Feng run an errand, he didn’t expect him to arrive in just a few minutes. What is he doing wandering near the school during a holiday?!
Luckily everything turned out fine, almost like lifting a rock only to drop it on my own foot. Thankfully, the dorm managers had just delivered the handbooks. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known what to say to Lin Feng. If he caught any fault to report to Iceberg Leng, then I would be in trouble!
"Why are you here again?" Zhao Jian recognized Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu. Weren’t these two beauties the ones who came to find Lin Feng during that underwear thief incident? They seemed to be students from the French department. At the time, I truly envied Lin Feng’s luck with the ladies. Is there another problem for which they’ve come to find Lin Feng?
"I was out shopping with them today, and when you called, they followed me here, saying they wanted to help," Lin Feng explained upon seeing Zhao Jian staring at Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu, then he picked up the pile of notebooks from Zhao Jian and returned to his own desk.
"We came to help Teacher Lin!" Ye Xiaoyu, arm in arm with Mao Rongrong, ignored Zhao Jian and went over to where Lin Feng was. The memory of the underwear thief incident was still fresh; Zhao Jian was no good man, always leering at people as if he wanted to devour them!
Mao Rongrong chose not to speak; her impression of Zhao Jian was quite poor, and she didn’t want to talk to him. Since Xiaoyu had already spoken, there was no need for her to say more. It was better to finish helping Teacher Lin with the tallies as soon as possible. The time was getting late, and it wouldn’t be good if Teacher Lin had to come back to handle this tomorrow. With that in mind, she took out a management handbook and flipped through it, then took a pen and began compiling the numbers of unoccupied bunks.
Seeing Sister Rongrong start, Xiaoyu also quickly got to work. She also grabbed a management handbook and began tallying. The sooner they finished, the sooner they could leave and wouldn’t have to confront the section chief, and Teacher Lin could also go home earlier.
"What, you’re here to help Lin Feng do work?" Zhao Jian was displeased in his heart. When did such beauties start volunteering for manual labor? Isn’t that a sin? Lin Feng, as a man, how could you let such beauties do such work – don’t you know how to cherish and be gentle with women?
Nowadays, who doesn’t know that beauties are like fairies from heaven, too divine to live a mortal’s life, wishing not even to lift a finger to feed themselves. And Lin Feng, what magic do you have that you can make these two beauties so willing to help you? To have even one such beauty would excite any man to death, yet you’re monopolizing two without them fighting, and they seem to get along well. Why do you get to enjoy their company, while I have to sit here alone?!
I asked you to come and work, not to flirt with girls. What do you mean by bringing the two most beautiful girls here? I know you, Lin Feng, are charming, but is there a need to flaunt it like that, bringing the two most beautiful girls and showing off? Are you trying to incite jealousy to death?
If looks could kill, Zhao Jian’s jealous fire in his eyes would burn Lin Feng down to ashes.
"Brother Lin, why did you come back?" Wang Xiaomao, seeing Lin Feng returning to his desk, couldn’t believe his eyes. He eagerly greeted Lin Feng. Wasn’t Brother Lin teaching French? Why did he come back during the holiday? There was nothing urgent in the department; could it be because of that trivial thing Section Chief Zhao mentioned? I myself could have finished it in half a day, so was there any need for Brother Lin to make a special trip? It seemed that Section Chief wanted to trouble Brother Lin; otherwise, it didn’t make any sense.
However, after Wang Xiaomao saw the two campus beauties from the chemistry lab incident, he was completely astonished by Lin Feng’s charm. When he encountered those two campus beauties back then, he witnessed that there was truly nothing between them. Yet now, these two beauties followed him to the department to help with his work – what sort of allure did that? In such a short time, Brother Lin had won over these two campus beauties; it was truly remarkable, and his abilities to charm women were unmatched!
If I were Brother Lin, not to mention two campus beauties, even one would make me so happy I might wake up laughing from my dreams! Brother Lin, how come your charms are so potent? If I had even one-tenth of your skill, I wouldn’t still be without a girlfriend. Brother Lin, you’re truly my idol!
All Sun Lei could see was jealousy. That Lin Feng was too showy - openly parading around with two beauties and treating the department like a dating spot. I know you’re good at flirting, but it didn’t take long to hook up with these two campus beauties. But surely there’s no need to flaunt everywhere, it’s maddening!
Why does Lin Feng have such good luck? When he flirts, it’s always with two at once. I can’t even flirt with one beautiful girl successfully. If only I had his kind of love life, I’d do anything! If I could just enjoy the company of women on either side like Lin Feng, what man wouldn’t want that?
No, what I can’t have, I won’t let you have either. I need to think of something to make Lin Feng look bad and have these two campus beauties ignore him. It’s so unfair that such a handsome guy like me can’t get a girl!
