Chapter 647 645: Befriending Big Beard
"Hehe, no need to be polite, Boss Fan. Please gather all the company management and announce the transfer. Oh, and make sure to bring Big Beard!" Lin Mu said."Alright, I'll take care of it right away!" Fan Boxiong nodded.
Half an hour later, managers from the company's various departments received the notice and came to the company meeting room! Big Beard was also notified by Fan Boxiong ten minutes ago, and he rushed over!
Soon, the meeting room was packed, including Big Beard. At this time, the meeting room door opened, and Fan Boxiong and Lin Mu walked in side by side! Others didn't have much reaction, but when Big Beard saw Lin Mu's figure, he wiped his eyes, and his gaze was full of astonishment!
"Isn't this Lin Mu?" Big Beard said to himself in surprise.
Lin Mu, dressed in a suit, did not make any eye contact with Big Beard, acting as if they didn't know each other!
Fan Boxiong and Lin Mu stood in front of the conference table and abruptly announced, "Now I have a big announcement to make: the Huashan Tourism Scenic Area project has been transferred to Lin Mu from Wancheng, Boss Lin. Let's applaud and support the new boss!"
"From Wancheng, Lin Mu?"
Big Beard was dumbfounded when he heard this and was shocked inside! He never thought Lin Mu was here to take over Fan Boxiong's Huashan business. He was nothing but surprised, as he knew Lin Mu's strength well, and Lin Mu had saved his life before! Other units' personnel were not surprised by Fan Boxiong's announcement because the news of him transferring the Huashan project had already leaked, and the company people were aware!
Lin Mu would be their leader in the future, so they naturally dared not offend him and clapped their hands in applause!
"Alright, in that case, let's have Boss Lin say a few words."
Lin Mu smiled at the people below, "I'm very glad to meet all of you, and I hope in the future..."
Then, Lin Mu made some typical pleasantries that were not very substantial, encouraging everyone to keep working hard, and expressed expectations for Huashan's resource development, which also served as a self-introduction to the department managers! The meeting wasn't long, less than an hour, after all, it was just a handover ceremony! After Lin Mu's introduction, Fan Boxiong also said a few simple words, equally unsubstantial, and then the meeting was adjourned!
During the meeting, Fan Boxiong was somewhat surprised; the usually arrogant Big Beard didn't say a word today? It seemed unlike his usual style! He didn't even utter a single voice of opposition? This slightly unanticipated Fan Boxiong, who was worried before the meeting that Big Beard might cause trouble, but now he was so quiet, unusually calm!
After Lin Mu announced the adjournment, people in the meeting room filed out, while Big Beard remained seated, not moving. The heart that Fan Boxiong had calmed down was on edge again, knowing Big Beard was going to cause trouble! He knew this guy wouldn't leave it at that, and Big Beard would definitely want to get involved!
Once everyone left, Big Beard got up and walked toward Lin Mu, "Heh, brother, so the business you mentioned turned out to be the big business of Huashan!" Big Beard walked up with a chuckle, showing no hostility.
"Hmm?" Fan Boxiong's mind was a little fuzzy, "Directly calling him brother? This sounds like they know each other?"
Lin Mu glanced at Big Beard and laughed, "Brother Huzi, you don't intend to stop me, do you?"
Big Beard knew Lin Mu's terrifying combat power, and Lin Mu had saved his life; actually, even without the life-saving grace, Big Beard dared not mess with him.
Being able to effortlessly deal with the three top experts of the Huayang Gang, someone like Big Beard definitely couldn't afford to provoke him unless he didn't want to live! Moreover, Big Beard wasn't lacking money these days, living comfortably; there's no need to push himself to a dead end, and knowing someone like Lin Mu might not be a bad thing for Big Beard!
"Hey, brother, what are you talking about? Not only will I not stop you, but I also fully support you! Whoever dares to trouble Brother Lin, I'll be the first to take them on!" Big Beard said heartily.
"Haha, thank you, Brother Huzi. In the future, I can't be in Huayin City often, so I still need to trouble you to take care of things here!" Lin Mu smiled.
"Rest assured, Boss Lin, leave it to me, I guarantee there won't be any problems!" Big Beard said, patting his chest.
Being able to connect with Lin Mu, Big Beard has found a strongbacking because he is well aware of Lin Mu's power; with such a thick thigh to cling to, no Huayang Gang or Huayin Gang is anything to him!
Hearing the conversation between Lin Mu and Big Beard, Fan Boxiong finally felt relieved. Earlier, he had been worried about Lin Mu, but it turned out they knew each other and had already settled everything!
"Truly impressive!" Fan Boxiong couldn't help but take another look at Lin Mu; what seemed difficult to handle was easily resolved by Lin Mu, and looking at Big Beard's attitude towards Lin Mu, full of respect, just that respect alone showed Lin Mu's strength. It's clear that Lin Mu is such a person!
"Hehe, Boss Fan, Brother Huzi, since everyone is familiar with each other and we are all friends, it's just time for a meal. Let me host everyone for a drink, and let's forget past matters!" Lin Mu said.
But Big Beard was not happy, "No way, Boss Lin, this meal has to be on me, or else I won't come!"
"Haha, in that case, let Brother Huzi foot the bill!" Lin Mu laughed.
"What cost, Boss Fan, Boss Lin, let's go!" Big Beard called out, and went downstairs with Fan Boxiong and Lin Mu.
Once upstairs, Fan Boxiong and Lin Mu got into Big Beard's extended Da Ben, heading together to the Huayin Grand Hotel!
At the Huayin Grand Hotel, Fan Boxiong booked a VIP room. Good wine and dishes were served, and Lin Mu, Fan Boxiong, and Big Beard started drinking together! All three ruggedly clinked their glasses and downed their drinks!
"Brother Lin, thanks to you for what happened yesterday!" Big Beard said after downing a glass and directly addressed Lin Mu as "Brother Lin".
For a character like Big Beard, involved in the underworld, addresses are not based on age, but on strength and reputation. Those big shots, no matter their age, are universally respected as brothers, whereas those lacking reputation or strength, no matter how old, always remain little brothers, mere subordinates!
So this "Brother Lin" is more than just a form of address; it's a statement, representing Big Beard's attitude towards Lin Mu! Now Big Beard already regards Lin Mu as a brother, and for Lin Mu, having Big Beard call him Brother Lin, he definitely lives up to the title!
"Hehe, Brother Huzi, you're too kind." Lin Mu smiled.
