“Why would I ever drive him away?
If he leaves, who would I have to take your anger out on?”
“Alright, don’t worry.
Talk to you later, I’m busy.”
On the other end, Dong Liya hung up, gritting her teeth in excitement.
Chen Luo returned to his desk and saw Lin Yu waiting nearby.
He shot him a cold look.
“Lin Yu, I’m Chen Luo, Team Leader of Team Six in the Finance Department.
From now on, you’ll be working under me.”
Lin Yu smiled.
“Hello, Team Leader Chen.”
“Let me see your resume.” Sitting in his chair, Chen Luo sized up Lin Yu, recalling what Lu Chunxue had said during the morning meeting.
Lin Yu handed his resume to Chen Luo.
After looking it over, Chen Luo stared at Lin Yu with utter contempt.
He spoke extra loudly, “Lin Yu, so you’re an ex-convict, huh?”
“But that doesn’t matter.
Now that you’re in Team Six, I don’t care what you did in the past.
Here, if you’re a dragon, you’d better coil up.
If you’re a tiger, you’d better lie down.”
Lin Yu saw that Chen Luo was deliberately raising his voice, drawing strange looks from many other employees.
There were looks of disdain, contempt, fear, and confusion.
Annoyed, he said, “Team Leader Chen, shouldn’t you be telling me what my tasks are for today?”
Seeing that Lin Yu dared to talk back, Chen Luo slammed his hand on the table.
“Are you telling me how to do my job?” he said grimly.
“Lin Yu, I bet you don’t even know what we do here in Team Six, do you?”
“Let me tell you.
Although Team Six is technically part of the Finance Department, we’re an independent unit that specializes in external debt collection.”
“Since you don’t know the rules and dare to talk back to me on your very first day, it looks like I’ll have to give you a particularly tough assignment.”
When Chen Luo flew into a rage, it wasn’t just the members of Team Six; even employees from other teams shot Lin Yu gloating looks.
The last new guy who refused to listen to Chen Luo was sent to collect a debt from the Wu Group.
In the end, he didn’t get the money back.
He was beaten half to death and spent over a month in the hospital.
After he was discharged, he immediately resigned.
Lin Yu ignored the stares from those around him and calmly met Chen Luo’s gaze.
Seeing that Lin Yu remained completely unfazed, Chen Luo grew even more furious.
His eyes swept across the other members of Team Six.
The men were so scared they barely dared to breathe.
No one wanted to be in the line of fire.
“Liu Huamin, you will take Lin Yu to the Wu Group and get back the ten million they owe us.”
Liu Huamin froze, dumbfounded, as cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
“Team Leader Chen, could you possibly…”
Chen Luo cut him off decisively.
“Either go, or you’re fired.”
Liu Huamin’s face turned ashen.
He shot Lin Yu a venomous look and sighed, “Let’s go.”
After grabbing the IOU, Liu Huamin shot Lin Yu another fierce glare and stormed out of the office.
Lin Yu followed behind him.
Chen Luo then went to Lu Chunxue’s office.
He knocked before entering.
“Manager Lu, I’ve arranged a ‘choice’ assignment for Lin Yu today.”
“Oh?
And where did you send him?”
“I sent him to the Wu Group to collect a debt.”
Lu Chunxue said with surprise, “You mean that dead account?
The one for over ten million that several teams have tried and failed to collect?”
Chen Luo nodded and said obsequiously, “That’s right.
Didn’t Manager Lu tell me to ‘take good care’ of him?”
“You’ve done well.
I’ll give you a bonus for this.” Lu Chunxue nodded in satisfaction.
“Thank you, Manager Lu,” Chen Luo said happily.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back now.”
As soon as Chen Luo left, Lu Chunxue immediately pulled out her phone to call Dong Liya.
“Liya, I sent Lin Yu to the Wu Group to collect a debt.
We’ve sent several teams there before, and they all came back beaten black and blue.”
“This time, the people at the Wu Group are sure to give Lin Yu a harsh lesson.”
On the other end of the line, Dong Liya grew increasingly excited.
“Chunxue, you really are my best friend!
Mwah!”
“Heh, I hope the people at the Wu Group beat him until he’s crippled.”
Lu Chunxue laughed.
“You sound pretty eager to see Lin Yu crippled, don’t you?”
“Of course I am!
That jinx came to my house and caused a scene.
And the bitch who was with him even hit me!
You think I’m not going to hate them for that?”
The smile on Lu Chunxue’s face froze, and her expression turned livid.
“Lin Yu went to your house and caused a scene?
With another woman?
Who is he trying to spite?”
“Don’t even talk about it.
It just makes me sick thinking about it.”
Lu Chunxue thought for a moment before replying.
“In fifteen minutes, you and Mingcheng come to my office.
I want you to see Lin Yu’s pathetic state for yourselves.
How dare he go to your house and pull a stunt like that?
And even hit someone?”
“Chunxue, is it really okay for Mingcheng and me to come to your office?
Won’t it affect your work?”
“What’s there to be afraid of?
I’m the manager…”
…
On the way there, Liu Huamin looked like he was heading to his own funeral, shooting nasty glances at Lin Yu from time to time.
Lin Yu noticed and frowned.
“Brother Liu, is this assignment from Team Leader Chen that difficult?”
Liu Huamin looked like he was about to cry.
“Difficult?” he said, exasperated.
“It’s more than difficult!”
“Our guys have tried to collect the debt from the Wu Group several times.
Every person who went either ended up in the hospital or just quit on the spot.”
“This is a seriously tough nut to crack.”
“You just had to piss off Team Leader Chen on your first day, and now you’ve dragged me down with you.
Ugh.”
Lin Yu shook his head.
His opinion of Liu Huamin dropped a little.
“Don’t worry.
I’ll definitely get the money back.”
Liu Huamin sneered.
“You should just pray you can walk out of there in one piece.
The money…”
The Wu Group had numerous branches.
This time, Lin Yu and Liu Huamin went to the one in East City.
As soon as they entered the lobby, Liu Huamin’s legs began to tremble, leaving Lin Yu speechless.
Lin Yu went up to the front desk.
“Excuse me, is the person in charge here?”
“Our President Wu is in his office.
May I ask what you need?”
“What floor is the president’s office on?”
“The eighth floor.”
Lin Yu immediately headed for the elevators.
Liu Huamin was shaking even more violently now.
“Lin Yu, are we really going up there?”
Lin Yu smiled.
“Aren’t we here to collect the debt?
How are we supposed to do that if we don’t go up?”
Liu Huamin stammered, “But…
just the two of us?
You think we can actually collect it?”
“I don’t want to get beaten up with you!
I have a wife and kids.”
“If you don’t want to go, you don’t have to.” The elevator arrived, and Lin Yu stepped inside.
Liu Huamin hesitated, his feet feeling as heavy as lead.
In the end, he couldn’t muster the courage and bolted for the exit.
Seeing Liu Huamin bolt in terror, Lin Yu gave a dry laugh and took the elevator to the eighth floor alone.
He arrived at the president’s office and knocked on the door.
Wu Menglong opened the door.
Seeing an unfamiliar face, he asked, “Who are you looking for?”
Lin Yu said calmly, “You must be President Wu.
I’m from Dingsheng Group.
I’m here to collect the ten million-plus you owe us.”
“Here’s the IOU.”
With that, Lin Yu handed the IOU to Wu Menglong.
Wu Menglong took the IOU, tore it to shreds, and looked at Lin Yu with contempt.
“So, you’re from Dingsheng Group.
Looks like you people still haven’t given up, huh?”
“Didn’t I tell you?
I don’t have the cash right now.
As for that ten million…
we’ll talk about it some other time.”
Lin Yu looked at Wu Menglong.
“So, President Wu, does that mean you have no intention of paying today?”
Wu Menglong instantly grew impatient.
“So what if I don’t?” he said arrogantly.
“Surely you know what happened to the last people who came here to collect, don’t you?”
Lin Yu smiled.
“They got beaten up, didn’t they?”
Wu Menglong saw that Lin Yu wasn’t the least bit afraid.
‘A newborn calf that doesn’t fear the tiger,’ he thought.
He stared at Lin Yu mockingly.
“Since you know, why don’t you get the hell out?”
Lin Yu said, “I’ll leave after you pay back the money.”
