Chen Bin is indeed a man of integrity. At least in his life motto, he has no intention of sacrificing dignity in exchange for money.
Secondly, he also saw through that Zheng Xin was just using herself as a tool. There was no friendship between the two at all, and there would be no intersection in the future. Taking her money might lead to more trouble.
After returning home, Chen Bin immediately opened the refrigerator, took out a three-pound piece of raw beef, and cut it into thin slices with a knife.
In recent days, he only eats two meals a day to avoid unnecessary energy consumption, but even so, he still eats at least three kilograms of raw meat every time.
According to the price of raw meat in the vegetable market, this beef was probably unaffordable. Chen Bin stuffed the beef into his mouth and chewed it slowly while thinking about going to the general market to stock up on more frozen meat next time.
Although the taste of frozen meat is not good, it is cheaper and at least you don’t have to worry about not having enough food for the time being.
After simply cleaning the battlefield, Chen Bin wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin. Although he felt exhausted every time he had a full meal, in order to reduce the body's consumption of food, he still climbed into bed early.
Then he opened his laptop and continued browsing the forums as he had done yesterday.
Suddenly, the forum received a private message from the person whose online name was "Old A".
"You're looking for me?"
Chen Bin's eyes lit up and he typed quickly, "Yes, buddy, I posted on the forum yesterday and saw your reply about 'returning to ancestors'. I think what you said makes sense. Can you find a time to meet me?" ?”
Chen Bin felt very uneasy after typing this line.
There are everyone online, and the other party may not necessarily agree to your request to meet.
Sure enough, after typing this line, Lao A didn't reply for a long time. Chen Bin patiently finished a cigarette and smiled helplessly.
"Forget it, it's just some speculation from netizens, it may not be taken seriously..."
But just when he was about to close the private message interface, a reply from Old A popped up in the dialog box, "Okay, you are in Lincheng, right? You can wait for me at the coffee shop outside the NTU campus at six o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay, I will be there on time!"
Chen Bin was very excited when he learned that the meeting place was at NTU.
This university has the highest standards in Lincheng and is also the only key university. It seems that the identity of this old A is not simple. He may be a university professor level figure. Maybe he can really provide him with some ideas to solve the mutation.
Early the next morning, Chen Bin returned to the company and clocked in as usual. As soon as he entered the company, he felt that the people around him looked at him strangely.
Especially when waiting for the elevator, Chen Bin accidentally bumped into Manager Wu. Thinking of the scene in the office that afternoon when he made him unable to get off the stage, Chen Bin was a little embarrassed. After all, he was his immediate boss, and it would not be good to offend him.
Before he could think of how to say hello and ease the conflict in the office, Manager Wu actually showed a smile and nodded politely to Chen Bin, "Good morning."
Chen Bin was a little confused. For the first time, this old boy asked him if he had taken the wrong medicine.
Unexpectedly, Manager Wu took the initiative and smiled again, "That Xiao Chen, we had some conflicts at work before. We were all doing it for the company, so don't take it to heart."
"Oh Well."
Chen Bin's reply was very stiff. He really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine this old boy was selling.
It wasn't until after the morning meeting that Manager Wu announced the news in public that Chen Bin would become the divisional director of the department that he gradually came to understand it.
It seems that the benefit of helping Zheng Xin "come forward" yesterday has arrived. It is probably because this woman said hello in advance that Manager Wu completely changed his attitude.
Chen Bin was a little bit dumbfounded. He didn't expect that this woman was very trustworthy. In just one day, he rose from a low-level white-collar worker to a department manager. Although he was still a part-time worker, he could still be considered a member of the management team.
Facing the proactive compliments and congratulations from his colleagues, Chen Bin could only smile and pretend to cope.
Until during the lunch break, my good friend Zhao Peng came running over with his smile turning into squinting eyes.
"Chen Bin, tell me honestly, did you make some PY deal with the new CEO Zheng? Why did she promote you as soon as she arrived?"
Chen Bin could only smile bitterly, "There is no dirty behind-the-scenes deal. You don't even look at my conditions. How can someone like me?"
"Then how did you..."
Zhao Peng still refused to give up. He said with a sullen face that he didn't want to fight anymore, and asked Chen Bin if there were any other opportunities. "I don't have high requirements. I can find someone older. Anyway, the effect is almost the same if I turn off the lights!"
Chen Bin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only glare at him, "Be more relaxed and play with your eggs!"
Getting promoted was originally a happy thing, but when he heard the gossip among his colleagues in the department, Chen Bin was not happy at all.
I have been an upright person all my life, so how come I have become a "softie" in the eyes of others?
After finally getting off work, Chen Bin couldn't stand the atmosphere in the office, so he hurriedly clocked in and rode his little electric donkey to NTU.
He made an appointment with Old A last night to meet at the cafe at the gate of NTU campus at 6pm. This was his first appointment with a netizen, so he felt a little uneasy. He found a seat by the window in the cafe and sat down, quietly. Jing was thinking about what opening remarks he should use after meeting Lao A for a while.
Suddenly, a wisp of fragrant wind drifted behind his head, interrupting his thoughts.
"Are you Chen Bin?"
Chen Bin was stunned and turned to look at the person who spoke. She turned out to be a girl in her early twenties, with a pretty figure and two sweet dimples on her face. Her clear eyes were like a clear spring, and her whole body was filled with joy. The youthful breath of a girl,
"How...how do you know my name?"
He stood up helplessly and looked at the girl's sweet and pure face. He couldn't remember where he had seen this girl.
But the girl smiled, took out her phone, and sent a private message through the forum, "Didn't you tell me that your name is Chen Bin?"
"Are you Lao A, the person who made an appointment to meet me?"
Chen Bin was even more incredible. He opened his mouth wide and didn't react for a long time.
He originally thought that Old A's true identity was either a university professor or a gentle academic researcher, but he never expected that the other person was a girl, and she was so young and beautiful.
The girl winked at him and said playfully, "What, are you surprised?"
Chen Bin was so embarrassed that he coughed and asked the girl to sit down, but he was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say, "Why did you give yourself such a strange online name? By the way, I haven't asked you what to call me."
"My name is Sun Fei, and I am a college student in the Journalism Department of Nanjing University."
The girl smiled playfully and explained, "I don't usually visit forums. The account that replied to you belongs to my brother."
Chen Bin said oh, no wonder the other party gave him such an old-fashioned online name. It turned out that the forum account was not Fei Sun's.
He hadn't thought about how to make his opening remarks, but Sun Fei had already broken the deadlock with a coquettish smile, "Okay, let's get down to business. Why did you post that kind of post on the forum? Do you really have any friends who show signs of atavism?"
