Chapter 254: Chapter 253: Appearances Can Be Deceiving, Don’t Fall Into the Trap

”This is a really good idea.”

”Was this plan entirely Tian Xiaowu’s idea?”

As soon as Lin Feng asked, he saw Su Ruoxi nod.

”I specifically put Tian Xiaowu in charge of the adjustments between Area A and Area C, and as for the new team we found...”

”It’s clear they also respect Tian Xiaowu’s ideas. They are handling the other, more detailed adjustments to the area.”

Lin Feng nodded, understanding.

The design team Huizi had found was mainly responsible for correcting some of the impractical elements in the previous blueprints.

But the entire creative concept for connecting Area A and Area C was all Tian Xiaowu’s own work.

Lin Feng was now very satisfied with Tian Xiaowu.

’Looks like this kid has some real talent.’

Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction.

”If we proceed with the design based on these new blueprints, will the overall Joy City project fall behind schedule?”

Su Ruoxi had already thought about this issue.

”I’ve run the numbers. There aren’t too many adjustments needed. As long as the workers can keep up the pace, we can still finish within the deadline.”

As long as Joy City’s construction could be completed on schedule, nothing else was a major problem.

”So at this point, we shouldn’t need the design team much anymore, right?”

Hearing Lin Feng, Su Ruoxi paused for a moment before smiling and saying, ”For the most part, we won’t need the design team’s involvement. From here on, it’s all a matter of construction.”

Lin Feng smiled and nodded. ”In that case, let me have Tian Xiaowu.”

Su Ruoxi had long since noticed Lin Feng’s admiration for Tian Xiaowu.

Besides, there were no major tasks left for Joy City anyway.

And a person like Tian Xiaowu would have more opportunities for growth by Lin Feng’s side.

So Su Ruoxi nodded. ”Since you want him, Brother Feng, I’ll have him report to you tomorrow.”

Lin Feng smiled and nodded.

To Lin Feng, Tian Xiaowu was a talent who could be nurtured over time.

So Lin Feng planned that after bringing Tian Xiaowu under his wing, he would have him continue his professional studies.

At the same time, he would have Tian Xiaowu take on some responsibilities for the land project.

Lin Feng knew very well that Tian Xiaowu had ideas and ability; he was just lacking some of the fundamentals.

This was the first time Tian Xiaowu had taken on this kind of work.

Tian Xiaowu had never done any work related to design blueprints before.

It was also his first time collaborating with people from a professional design and planning team.

At first, Tian Xiaowu had been a little anxious.

But after they actually started working together, he discovered that not everyone was like Huang Yongwang.

The person in charge of this design and planning team seemed to appreciate him very much.

Especially after he proposed the plan to connect the two areas.

The head of the design and planning team had even directly asked...

...if Tian Xiaowu wanted to join their team.

At that moment, Tian Xiaowu was genuinely tempted.

After all, the atmosphere in this team was the best of any job Tian Xiaowu had ever had.

But Tian Xiaowu still refused.

”I’m sorry, President Ding, but I prefer to stay at Mr. Lin’s company.”

After refusing, Tian Xiaowu actually felt a lot more relaxed.

When Ding Lei learned of Tian Xiaowu’s decision, he was a little disappointed.

But he didn’t insist.

He just insisted on getting Tian Xiaowu’s contact information.

”If you ever change your mind someday, or if you think the work environment here is pretty good, you can come find me anytime!”

After submitting the final blueprints, Tian Xiaowu felt a little uneasy.

He was uneasy about whether the plan he had proposed would satisfy Lin Feng and the others.

Moreover, after this job was finished, Tian Xiaowu didn’t know what would become of him.

After all, he had been transferred from the construction team.

Now that the planning and design work was over, Tian Xiaowu didn’t know if he was supposed to go back.

As it turned out, Tian Xiaowu’s worries were completely unnecessary.

Because the day after he submitted the blueprints, Tian Xiaowu received a notice of a position transfer from the company’s HR department.

’They want me to go to the main company?’

When Tian Xiaowu received the notice, his eyes widened in disbelief.

After meeting Lin Feng, Tian Xiaowu had already gone online to learn about Dingsheng Real Estate and Lin Feng’s investment company.

He was now very clear.

The so-called ”main company” was none other than Lin Feng’s investment company!

So after hearing the news, Tian Xiaowu felt like he was walking on clouds, his whole body feeling light and floaty.

After Uncle Tian found out his son had been formally hired by Lin Feng’s investment company...

...he was so excited he couldn’t sleep all night.

The next day, he happily bought some food and shared it with his fellow workers on the construction team.

This led his coworkers to think that Uncle Tian’s son had gotten married and he was handing out wedding candy.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so joyful.

In private, Uncle Tian reminded Tian Xiaowu again and again:

”You have to work hard at Mr. Lin’s place. Don’t you dare disappoint him!”

Even without his father’s admonition, Tian Xiaowu felt the exact same way as Uncle Tian about this matter.

...

「Meanwhile.」

When Lin Feng left the school.

He specifically brought Cao Ming to the company as well.

”Although the project hasn’t started yet, there’s some work I need you to do now.”

Lin Feng had already instructed Cao Ming of this while they were in the car.

It wouldn’t be long now before Cyan Mountain Town blew up online.

So Cao Ming needed to do some case studies and analysis now.

By the time Lin Feng arrived at the company with Cao Ming,

He happened to see Tian Xiaowu standing at the company entrance.

It was Tian Xiaowu’s first time coming to such a formal office building.

He was a little awkward and uneasy.

Lin Feng spotted him hesitating at the entrance.

”Why don’t you go in?”

Lin Feng walked over with Cao Ming.

Cao Ming looked at the baby-faced man standing hesitantly at the company entrance.

A hint of curiosity showed in his eyes.

Cao Ming had previously worked in the company’s human resources department.

So he naturally knew that this wasn’t a hiring period, and the company had no related recruitment plans for the near future.

It was obvious that Lin Feng knew this man who was hesitating at the entrance.

Tian Xiaowu gave an awkward smile. ”I wasn’t quite sure... I thought I might have the wrong place!”

Lin Feng didn’t call him out on it.

In reality, Lin Feng had already figured out why Tian Xiaowu wasn’t going in.

Part of it was because he felt his clothes made him stick out like a sore thumb compared to the people inside the company.

Another reason was that Tian Xiaowu didn’t know what the procedure was for reporting to such a formal company.

Arriving in a completely unfamiliar environment, he was somewhat timid.

”How about this, you come with me.”

Lin Feng said, looking at the talent he quite admired.

Lin Feng led Tian Xiaowu into the company and ran into Huizi before they had gone far.

Huizi gave a couple of extra glances at the unfamiliar man before her, dressed in jeans and a short jacket.

This man was beside Lin Feng, and judging by his clothes, he clearly wasn’t someone here to discuss business.

’And based on his demeanor, he probably isn’t an employee the company hired, right?’

When Lin Feng saw Huizi, he called her over directly.

”This is Tian Xiaowu, the new employee I just hired. Take him to HR to report in, and after you’ve gone through all the necessary procedures, bring him to my office.”

Huizi hadn’t expected that this person was actually an employee Lin Feng had hired for the company.

”Yes, President Lin.”

Lin Feng smiled and looked at Tian Xiaowu beside him. ”This is my secretary. Go with her and get the process sorted out.”

When Tian Xiaowu first entered Lin Feng’s company, he was filled with curiosity.

The thought that he would be working in the office of a big company like this from now on...

...made Tian Xiaowu feel like he was in a dream.

He had never imagined before that he could work a nine-to-five job in a company like this.

This was so much better than the manual labor he did on the construction site before.

Tian Xiaowu followed Huizi toward the HR department.

Cao Ming, who had been beside Lin Feng the whole time, had a faint look of confusion in his eyes.

”President Lin, who is that person? He doesn’t really seem like...”

Cao Ming didn’t finish his sentence, but Lin Feng already understood what he meant.

In terms of his clothes and demeanor, Tian Xiaowu didn’t really seem like a white-collar professional.

However, that didn’t stop Lin Feng from valuing his abilities.

”He’s going to be your colleague. You can’t judge a book by its cover, so don’t let his appearance fool you.”

Lin Feng said with a smile as he led Cao Ming into his office.

Cao Ming stood stunned in the office for a moment before he understood what Lin Feng meant.

’It seems this person named Tian Xiaowu will also be part of the land project team from now on.’

And from their brief exchange earlier, Cao Ming could also...

...tell that this person was likely recruited by Lin Feng himself.

Although Cao Ming didn’t really know what kind of person Tian Xiaowu was,

...he had great faith in Lin Feng’s judgment.

The fact that Lin Feng would personally bring him in was enough to prove that Tian Xiaowu must have some extraordinary qualities.

”Don’t worry, President Lin. I’ll get along well with him!”

Lin Feng handed a portion of the land documents to Cao Ming and asked him to organize them.

”Compiling the transportation routes around Cyan Mountain Town is also a very important task.”

Having received his instructions, Cao Ming began to work right there in Lin Feng’s office.

After all, Lin Feng’s office was very large.
