Lin Shan's "brother-in-law" was naturally Meng Qing Feng, the squad leader Meng.
His "brother-in-law," was the young and promising Song Yan Hua, Director Song, standing before him.
Their relationship was practically common knowledge,
but what Lin Shan hadn't expected was that Meng would actually report him directly to his brother-in-law!
"I have no objections!"
"As the squad leader, as the leader, I apologize for my impulsiveness!"
"It was my fault for not taking care of my subordinates' emotions, leading to such a terrible incident,"
"and causing a negative impact on the unit!"
"I am willing to accept punishment!"
At this moment, Squad Leader Meng, seated beside Lin Shan, had a face full of regret,
his large features were practically contorted, and he even choked up a little while speaking,
but there wasn't a single tear on his face!
Seeing the other's insincere performance, Lin Shan was filled with disdain!
"Heh! This crude acting, who doesn't know about your relationship?"
"One second you're smoking and drinking tea, the next you're bawling your eyes out?"
"This change of face is faster than a high-speed train!"
So Lin Shan followed with a remark.
"I have no objections either!"
It wasn't that Lin Shan had no objections, but even if he did, it wouldn't matter!
"Good, since both sides have no objections,"
"seeing that Meng Qing Feng's attitude of admitting his mistake is sincere, and considering the current urgent production tasks,"
"the organization has decided to postpone Meng Qing Feng's time for reflection at home,"
"we will wait until the production rush is over before he goes home to reflect!"
Director Song Yan Hua's words left Lin Shan utterly dumbfounded!
"Postpone reflection?"
"Isn't this blatantly covering him up?"
They called it postponement, but after some time, when things calmed down, who would pursue this matter?
After all, one is under the eaves, one has to lower one's head,
Meng has such a close brother-in-law, it's just bad luck that Lin Shan got caught up with him, it was a mistake to mess with this Meng.
But,
then again, no one wants to be targeted and bullied at work every day.
Do those who don't flatter their superiors deserve to be targeted?
Those who don't "lick" the boss's boots don't get the attention?
Those who don't actively suck up to the boss only get assigned dirty and tiring work?
Lin Shan got up and left the director's office.
Back in the break room, he simply packed up his belongings, preparing to officially begin his "reflection at home" journey!
Back in the break room, everyone had left, even the lights were off.
After quickly packing up his things, Lin Shan boarded the last bus home.
Looking at the neon lights outside the window,
Lin Shan's thoughts raced along the way,
after the Chinese New Year, this was his fourth year at this unit,
over the years, Lin Shan, who had been frugal, had used most of his savings to repay his family's debts.
In this unfamiliar big city,
he had no house, no car, and no hukou!
He didn't even have a girlfriend!
And now,
Lin Shan, who was practically a veteran employee,
was asked by the unit leadership to "reflect at home" because of a small matter!
And his almost 10,000 yuan "bonus" at the end of the year was also deducted!
Lin Shan felt that his future was bleak,
getting promoted and getting a raise here was basically impossible,
where had the passionate young man with ambitions gone?
Where had the Lin Shan who dreamed of getting promoted and getting a raise through hard work gone?
Maybe he was born at the wrong time, maybe he had chosen the wrong path in life,
after four years, although he had made some money,
his career path was in shambles!
Here, without connections, without connections, it meant mediocrity for life!
It meant a lifetime of scrapping for a living at the bottom,
and if you're not careful, even the little you have will be taken away from you!
"This is the final stop! Please get off the bus at the back door!"
The announcement on the bus blared repeatedly, and the entire carriage was empty except for Lin Shan and the driver.
"Young man, it's your stop!"
Only then did Lin Shan snap out of his reverie, quickly picked up his "possessions" and stepped off the bus.
The sky was already dotted with stars!
There was a touch of coolness in the night air overhead,
Lin Shan straightened his collar, adjusted the straps of his backpack, and walked slowly towards home.
He hadn't been home this late in a long time,
strolling along the street, watching the bustling traffic and the bright lights,
Lin Shan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart,
the 15-minute journey, he walked for half an hour this time,
usually Lin Shan would rush after getting off the bus,
never stopping to admire the scenery around him,
but,
today Lin Shan slowed down completely, he didn't need to worry about "time" anymore,
the tall buildings, the bustling traffic, Lin Shan longed for everything he saw, he wanted to find his own place in this big city.
But he was destined to be a passerby,
the high housing prices were numbers that Lin Shan couldn't even dream of,
"Actually, it's good to just look,"
Lin Shan could only comfort himself with that thought,
he passed the most bustling streets along the way, experienced the unique hustle and bustle of "city people",
finally arriving at his own little piece of land, "the village in the city".
Stepping into the familiar low-rent apartment, Lin Shan felt that everything he had longed for had ended,
back to reality,
his "reflection" journey would officially begin!
Lin Shan didn't turn on his computer right away after putting down his luggage,
instead, he lay down in bed and browsed his phone, starting to find a suitable dinner for his rumbling stomach!
"To celebrate being punished to reflect at home, I'm gonna order some KFC!"
"And a dessert for after, I'll try a tiramisu I've never had before to see what it tastes like!"
Because Lin Shan had heard that fried chicken and beer could bring happiness,
so could desserts,
after solving the problem of his stomach, he threw his phone on the bed, the humming of the air conditioner resumed.
Lin Shan, stripped down to his birthday suit, was about to take a shower.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
At this moment, the phone on the bed vibrated continuously.
It was an unknown number,
"Hello, hello!"
"Is this the Chi Guo Nue Wo Qian Bian Boss?"
The other party spoke with a very magnetic voice belonging to a middle-aged man,
Lin Shan was stunned,
how could someone know the name of my dream character?
After all, none of the people who knew me in real life played Dream,
and my game friends would never know my phone number.
So Lin Shan became cautious.
"Who is this?"
"Oh, I'm Meng Da Nai, don't you remember me? I'm also a Dream player."
Of course Lin Shan remembered, Meng Da Nai was more than just a Dream player,
a total Dream tycoon!
But Lin Shan couldn't imagine why the tycoon would call him!
"I remember! What....."
Lin Shan looked puzzled,
and the other party went straight to the point, stating his purpose.
"Boss, I wanted to ask, are you going to sell your baby?"
