Dream Capture: I Can See Through All Secrets!

82: 82. Lin Shaohui’s shockLin Shaohui stood downstairs at the Guo Jin Building, surrounded by busy white-collar workers. He looked up at the towering glass curtain wall building, and his heart rate gradually accelerated.

“I used to be a manager, but how did I end up going backward in life?”

Lin Shaohui took a deep breath and straightened his tie. This dark blue tie was a gift from his wife three years ago, who said it would bring good luck.

Pushing open the coffee shop door, the cold air mixed with the aroma of coffee wafted over him.

There weren’t many people in the coffee shop. His gaze immediately fixed on the man by the window. The man was wearing a well-tailored dark gray suit, looking down and flipping through documents, with a steaming black coffee by his hand.

As Lin Shaohui approached, the man looked up, and those hawk-like eyes made him catch his breath.

“President Yu? I am…” he quickly said.

“Lin Shaohui, I know.”

Yu Tianxiong closed his folder, motioned for him to sit down, and then looked him up and down, saying, “Lin Shaohui, forty-three years old, MBA, formerly project manager of a foreign trade company…”

The waiter brought an Americano.

Lin Shaohui took it with both hands, surprised by how much the other party knew about him. He carefully handed over his resume, only to find that Yu Tianxiong took it but didn’t even look at it, merely tapping the table with his slender fingers.

After a brief silence, Yu Tianxiong suddenly asked, “Can you start tomorrow?”

“What?”

Lin Shaohui’s coffee cup almost slipped from his hand.

That fast? He had only just sat down a minute ago!

“I’m very short-staffed right now, so I need you to start immediately. As for salary, I’ll temporarily offer you an annual salary of 800,000. The company is still being established. The entire sixteenth floor of the Guo Jin Building will be our new office. You’ll be responsible for supervising the renovation and assisting me in setting up various departments.”

Saying this, Yu Tianxiong handed him a contract.

Lin Shaohui stared at the number on the contract, his pupils wide with shock, his throat tight. This salary was double his peak salary.

Didn’t Little Feng say last night… it was a startup?

He stammered, “President Yu, I… I’ve been hired just like that? But… but I still don’t know what kind of company we are…”

An 800,000 annual salary position, without a first interview, second interview, or CEO interview, was settled so quickly, making Lin Shaohui disbelieving, even giving him the illusion that it might be a scam company.

Yu Tianxiong smiled and said, “Yes, you’re hired. Since Mr. Lu recommended you, there’s definitely no problem. Our company is ‘Tingfeng Capital,’ an investment company specializing in short-term high-profit operations. It was established less than two months ago, I think. You’re considered the company’s first employee.”

“Uh…”

Lin Shaohui was a bit surprised after hearing this, and he felt like he had seen the name “Tingfeng Capital” somewhere before, but he just couldn’t recall it.

“Sign it. After signing, you’ll start tomorrow. There’s still a lot to do.”

Lin Shaohui nodded, opened the contract, and carefully checked it. There were no issues, and the official seal of Tingfeng Capital was already stamped at theParty Bsignature section, as if everything had been prepared in advance.

After Lin Shaohui signed with trembling hands, he finally couldn’t help but ask, “President Yu, I have a question. What kind of person is Little Feng… exactly?”

Yu Tianxiong picked up his coffee cup, a subtle smile playing on his lips, “That’s a question I can’t easily answer. If you want to know, you can ask Mr. Lu.”

With that, he collected the contract and stood up to leave, leaving Lin Shaohui sitting there in a daze.

Lin Shaohui was lost in thought for a long time. The first thing he did when he snapped out of it was to pick up his phone and search for the name “Tingfeng Capital.”

The first results that popped up were about its recent cooperation with Donghai Group in acquiring land. Due to the company’s forward-thinking strategy, brilliant methods, and impressive final results, it had already sparked huge discussions within the industry.

Lin Shaohui read it carefully, and he was completely stunned.

A piece of land acquired for 450 million sold for 3 billion… This boss, Yu Tianxiong, was simply a business titan!

Lin Shaohui finally understood where that profound, ocean-like aura of his came from. To be able to join such a top-tier startup company was absolutely his honor!

When he walked out of the coffee shop, the sunlight outside was dazzling, making him squint his eyes.

Lin Shaohui saw his reflection in the glass wall, the sense ofdecadentgone. He couldn’t help but smile, straightened his back, and strode towards the subway station.

Just then, his phone vibrated. It was a message from Zhou Wenmei: “How did it go?”

Below it was a photo of their baby grinning.

Lin Shaohui patted the contract in his bag and suddenly laughed out loud. He quickly typed: “Wife, I found a job! Annual salary of 800,000!”

Less than two seconds later, Zhou Wenmei’s call came rushing in.

“Shaohui, did you type it wrong?!” Her voice was filled with shock and disbelief.

Lin Shaohui quickly said, “It’s true, I’m still a bit dazed myself. I start work tomorrow! Wife, let’s go out for a nice dinner tonight, my treat!”

…“Boss, he’s been hired. He officially starts tomorrow.”

On the high-speed train, Lu Feng held the phone and said with a smile, “Good. Uncle Lin is a very down-to-earth person. Just make the arrangements.”

Hanging up the phone, Lu Feng also felt a lot more relaxed.

Lu Feng had not forgotten Teacher Zhou’s kindness to him. Now that she was in difficulty, he naturally helped her as much as he could.

Compared to giving money, a good position would enable Lin Shaohui to truly rejuvenate.

As he was thinking, his phone rang again. Lu Feng checked it; it was an unknown number. He instinctively hung up.

In this day and age, spam and scam calls were always annoying.

However, after a short while, the call came again, the same number, showing a persistent attitude.

Lu Feng frowned and pressed the answer button.

A familiar voice immediately came through the phone, with a hint of reproach: “Oh, you, Little Feng, we agreed to drink together last night, but you didn’t come back. Your Sister Yuxi waited until she fell asleep…”

Lu Feng chuckled, realizing it was Wang Yuxi.

He had to explain, “Sorry, Sister Yuxi, something came up yesterday, so I didn’t go back.”

“Is that so? Then are you coming back tonight?”

Lu Feng looked at the scenery outside the high-speed train window and shook his head, “No, I’m going back to my hometown for a trip. Classes will start after I get my admission letter.”

The voice on the other end of the phone fell silent, then said with a hint of disappointment, “Alright, then Sister Yuxi won’t bother you. Come back when you have time. It’s rare to meet someone I get along with, so spend more time chatting with Sister Yuxi.”

“Okay,” Lu Feng nodded.

Soon, Xinghai City station arrived. Lu Feng got off the train empty-handed. As soon as he exited the station, he saw his parents standing by their three-wheeled motorcycle, waving at him. Everything was still the same.

Lu Feng quickly walked over, patted the peeling paint on the vehicle, and said with a wry smile, “Dad, let me buy you a car.”

Lu Zezhou used to have a car. It wasn’t worth much, but it was a car he bought himself after earning money and had a lot of sentimental value, but he sold it later when he got sick.

Hearing his son’s words, Lu Zezhou smiled and refused, saying, “Why spend that money? This old fellow can fight for another ten years!”

As he spoke, he stepped on the accelerator, and the vehicle sputtered out a puff of black smoke.

Lu Feng quickly pulled his mother away and said with a smile, “Yes, yes, you’ve almost fully recovered, and now your son has money. It’s time for you to enjoy a peaceful life.”
