Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 277 Zhao Jian’s Idea

From now on, I will take charge of my own happiness. I don’t want to be the reserved girl I used to be, all shy and timid. If I keep that up, I’ll definitely drift further and further from Brother Lin Feng. For my own happiness, I must change myself, become more outgoing, and wholeheartedly pursue my Brother Lin Feng!

There might be many outstanding girls attracted to Brother Lin Feng in the future, but as long as I can be with him, none of that is an issue. I love Brother Lin Feng, and just having a place in his heart is enough for me. I really can’t ask for more, nor do I want to. Because someone like Brother Lin Feng is destined to achieve great things, and to be one of his women is an extremely fortunate thing. If I ask for too much, I’ll certainly lose him forever!

Yes, that’s what I’ll do, I will burn for Brother Lin Feng! Suddenly, Lin Jie felt like she had figured everything out. It was such a relief. With that thought, a long-absent smile appeared on her face...

...

After Lin Feng separated from Ding Wan’er and Leng Mei, he headed to the logistics department. Although he had been on temporary assignment to teach French with Leng Mei for half a year, his official position was still here, not having been transferred, so it was only right for him to report in at the start of the semester.

Zhao Jian was extremely happy today because he heard some good news—the deputy director of logistics was going to retire. This was a great opportunity. If he performed well this year, he might get a promotion. That would mean he wouldn’t have to stick around the general office every day; becoming a deputy director meant he could walk around and actually wield some real power. If he got lucky with some romantic encounters in the future, that would be the icing on the cake! Therefore, he had to plan this year’s work carefully to make a strong impression on Director Chen!

"Wang Xiaomao and Sun Lei, today our general office’s work must reach a new level. We need to show the higher-ups that our work is firmly in place. So I’ve decided that our logistics department needs reform. We must rectify the following ten issues..." Zhao Jian rambled on triumphantly about these trivial matters, feeling very proud of himself. After all, he was a section chief managing three people, which was much better than an ordinary teacher. It was perfectly normal for a leader to say a few words at the start of the term, especially since he was hoping for a promotion, which meant he had to be meticulous.

"Also, our office building’s cleanliness still seems subpar, so I’ve decided that Wang Xiaomao and Liu Lei, you two must ensure that the cleaning staff keep the office immaculate every day. Got it?" Zhao Jian racked his brain for more things to say and finally gave Wang Xiaomao and Liu Lei tasks, just to assert his authority. He knew the office was actually spotless, but he had already spoken, so he had to continue. Besides, if the Dean or the Principal noticed the cleanliness and were in a good mood, they might promote him, and that would be even better!

"Understood, chief, we will definitely complete the task," Wang Xiaomao was used to Zhao Jian’s style and was no longer surprised by this nitpicking. He quickly responded to avoid giving Zhao Jian a chance to find fault and assign him somewhere else.

"The chief’s decision is very wise. We will definitely implement this matter," Liu Lei was actually annoyed by Zhao Jian’s behavior, but there was nothing he could do since Zhao Jian was the section chief. He could only go along with what Zhao Jian had said.

"Good, now let’s discuss our main tasks for the second half of the year..." Seeing the attitudes of Wang Xiaomao and Liu Lei, Zhao Jian was quite pleased with himself. Being a section chief was awesome, and becoming a deputy director would be even better. No longer would he be commanding just these two people. With this proud thought, he began to talk about this year’s work, which was mostly inconsequential, but to assert his authority, he took out a written list from his pocket and tediously went through it point by point.

Wang Xiaomao and Liu Lei were already rendered speechless by Zhao Jian’s behavior. They could only pretend to be serious and listen to Zhao Jian’s lecture while their minds wandered elsewhere.

Just at that moment, Lin Feng pushed the door open and entered, causing everyone in the general office to freeze. What was he doing back here?

"Chief, the semester has started, and I’ve come to say hello," Lin Feng glanced at the people in the office and casually returned to his seat.

"Oh, Lin Feng is here. Just in time to listen to this year’s work arrangements," Zhao Jian looked at Lin Feng, thankful for his arrival. Lin Feng had only worked there for a few days last year, and he intended to make Lin Feng work hard this time. Lin Feng had annoyed him at the start, but before he could deal with it, Dean Leng had borrowed Lin Feng. He had hoped to sort Lin Feng out during the winter break when no one would bother him. However, contrary to his plan, he ended up being scolded by the Principal instead, which led to him and a group of people working an all-nighter to correct the data.

This time, he came to the office by himself. No matter what, I was going to give him a good dressing down. Otherwise, the grievances I suffered last year would have been for nothing. If I don’t vent this anger, I’ll suffocate from frustration.

"Just get on with it, I still have to go over to the French department," Lin Feng didn’t bother with anything else but urged Zhao Jian to finish speaking quickly.

"You..." Originally, Zhao Jian wanted to continue reading from his notes, but Lin Feng’s first remark left him choking on his words. What did he mean, ’get on with it,’ he still has to go to the French department? Wasn’t that using Dean Leng to pressure me? It’s too much! Not giving me any respect as a section chief. If it’s going to be like this, then don’t come to the office at all. Since you’re here, cut the crap!

"Stop talking, listen to me finish first, you... Lin Feng, are you playing with your phone?" Then, without paying attention to Lin Feng, Zhao Jian continued speaking from his notes. However, just as he began, he looked up to see Lin Feng take out his phone and start playing a game. Anger surged through him instantly. As a section chief assigning work, Lin Feng dared to play with his phone in front of him. This was a blatant challenge to his authority as a section chief, a naked provocation!!

"Is there a problem with me playing with my phone? Is there a rule that says I can’t play with my phone?" Lin Feng said casually. He was actually talking to me about the rules, so I simply asked if there was such a rule. Seeing him rage was quite amusing.

"You..." Zhao Jian was choked off by Lin Feng again, and he became deeply frustrated. It only then occurred to him that indeed, there was no explicit rule against playing with one’s phone. No one had ever brought this up before, and neither Wang Xiaomao nor Sun Lei had reminded him. Helpless, Zhao Jian continued to read from the paper.

But in his heart, he was plotting how to deal with Lin Feng. The guy truly was a blockhead. No matter what, you shouldn’t talk back to your superior while they are explaining work. Any clerk knew not to contradict leadership, yet he was someone who did whatever he wanted, defiantly talking back right in front of others, showing no regard for me. Isn’t this a slap in my face? How can I continue to be a chief like this?

And today was only the first day of school, yet he treated me this way. Clearly, he didn’t take me seriously at all. If I don’t teach him a lesson, I’ll lose all my dignity as a section chief. No matter what, I can’t let him off easily today! But what task could I assign to him? After some thought, I remembered that the school’s Labor Lake required someone to clean up after the winter holiday. Plus, the lake had a substantial area, broad and vast. Even someone as capable as Lin Feng couldn’t finish cleaning it by himself in a single Sunday. Later, I’d have a reason to dock his wages!

Yes, that would do it! By the time he finished reading, Zhao Jian had finally settled on a way to get back at Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, go to Labor Lake and clean up the entire lakeside. There’s no need for you to stay here. And remember, it’s the whole Labor Lake! There will be leaders coming for an inspection in the next few days. If I see it’s not tidy by tomorrow, you can forget about any bonuses for this semester!" Zhao Jian began to assign Lin Feng work. He thought he was so tough? Let’s see how he manages to clean up such a vast area by tomorrow. It’s impossible for him to finish it, and then I’ll have an excuse to blow up and deduct half a semester’s bonus from him!

He needs to learn what happens when someone disregards their section chief. He dared to ignore me so blatantly. Now, I’ll make sure he tastes hardship!

However, just as Lin Feng was about to respond, the office door was slammed open with a bang, and a group of robust young men rushed in, immediately filling the small office space to bursting, leaving everyone inside confused. This was the Logistics Department’s General Office, a place brimming with endless odd jobs. What could these people want here?

Lin Feng saw that these individuals looked like students and was quite puzzled. Why did some of them appear to have been badly beaten, with many sporting black and blue faces? What on earth was going on, and why had they come here? Something must have happened; otherwise, these people wouldn’t have found their way to the General Office.

Seeing the state of these people, Zhao Jian was also full of disbelief. He had just been lecturing Lin Feng, and then suddenly, this large crowd had burst in. What was going on? What were these students doing in my General Office, some even injured? If they were hurt, why didn’t they go to the infirmary instead of causing a scene here?

Wang Xiaomao and Sun Qiang were even more clueless about the situation because such an incident had never occurred in the General Office before. So what was happening?
