Hearing the principal's words and sensing his attitude, Chen Yun was stunned for a while before his mind suddenly cleared.
I see, I see, haha, so this Lin Feng kid is also one of those young masters pursuing the principal! Judging by the principal's demeanor, he must have passed Lin Feng onto me because he couldn't brush him off. He probably wants me to find a way to make him leave voluntarily, so that it wouldn't be linked to the principal at all!
As a subordinate, this is something I should be able to handle well! It seems that for the logistics department, squeezing out someone should be quite easy...
With that thought, Chen Yun cheerily greeted Xiao Yu before leaving. He was in such a good mood that he even mentioned treating Zhang Yu to a meal, then pondered how to deal with Lin Feng as he walked downstairs.
Just as Chen Yun returned from the principal's office, he saw a young man waiting at the door of his own office.
"And you are?"
"Lin Feng, the principal asked me to report here." Lin Feng said indifferently.
Chen Yun opened the door, let Lin Feng into the office, and sized him up. There was an inexplicable feeling about him; he seemed like a rich young master, yet he lacked the air of a spoiled scion. To say he was an ordinary person would be a stretch; his demeanor clearly indicated he was no simple individual. Tangled and complex, Chen Yun finally understood why Dean Ding had pushed Lin Feng onto him—it was indeed difficult for her to take action herself, considering Lin Feng was quite different from the typical young master.
Setting aside other factors, the mere fact he came up with the strategy of joining the school to pursue his goal shows he's no ordinary person. But if the principal found him challenging, he surely wasn't an average man, so Chen Yun dared not take him lightly.
"Dean Ding has already called me. I'm the director of the logistics department, Chen Yun." Chen Yun still shook hands with Lin Feng politely.
But his mind kept mulling over the principal's words, and gradually, Chen Yun had an idea: to overload Lin Feng with menial tasks until he got fed up and left of his own accord. After all, someone pursuing the principal, and whom the principal herself couldn't handle, might be extraordinary, so he couldn't be too excessive.
However, based on Chen Yun's understanding of these young masters, just assigning them scattered tasks usually gets them annoyed quickly. It would be normal for them to leave on their own, lacking the patience to endure such work. In this regard, Chen Yun was quite confident in his judgment.
"Hmm... Let's do this. Lin Feng, you should join the general affairs office. We are short-staffed there, and there is a fair amount of routine work. I hope you don't mind!" Chen Yun said warmly with a smile.
"Okay, I'll head over." Lin Feng stood up to leave and went straight to the general affairs office to report, as Chen Yun had instructed.
Watching Lin Feng leave, Chen Yun continued to ponder. This young man was not simple—calm and composed, with no hint of joy or anger. He wondered if Lin Feng might indeed be a great master. If he knew that Lin Feng was just looking for a job, nothing more, and that whatever he did was all the same to him, Chen Yun would probably be even more baffled, and undoubtedly astounded that he was indeed here to find work!
"Send someone over to your department later, a young man. Put some pressure on him." After thinking it through, Chen Yun still decided to phone Zhao Jian first.
"Hmm... Oh, oh... Got it, Director. Don't worry about it. I handle things well; it's not difficult to deal with someone under my watch." As soon as Zhao Jian heard what the superior had implied, he immediately took a stance.
"What do you mean by 'dealing with people'? It's good for young people to do more work as a form of training." Chen Yun frowned slightly at Zhao Jian's words. Knowing Zhao Jian's character, he handed Lin Feng over to the general affairs office mostly because he didn't want to deal more with him and chastised him before hanging up.
Zhao Jian, department head of general affairs, sat there with a delightful smile. Being entrusted with this matter was a sign of trust from the leadership. What training, what burdens—general affairs wasn't a place with power or perks. More training just meant...
Hehe, he wondered where this kid had offended the director. But it didn't matter to him; the main thing was to carry out the director's orders well.
Poor kid, falling into the hands of your Uncle Zhao is your bad luck. Let me think about how to deal with him...
"Knock, knock." As Zhao Jian was contemplating, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Zhao Jian straightened up and managed to instantly change his jubilant expression to one of utmost seriousness, then looked at the young man who entered with a stretched face, feigning ignorance as he asked, "And you are?"
"Lin Feng, Director Chen sent me to work here!" Lin Feng stated calmly.
"Oh, we have quite a lot to do here. The situation in our department is like this..." Zhao Jian began formally and straightlaced, explaining the details.
After Zhao Jian's introduction, Lin Feng understood what the general affairs department did. When other departments were fully staffed, they had nothing to do, but if a department was short on personnel, they would act as a firefighting team—wherever needed, they rushed there!
In addition, there were two other people in the general affairs office, Qian Xiaomao and Sun Lei, who were out on tasks today. After the introduction, Zhao Jian found a corner desk for Lin Feng. However, no sooner had Lin Feng sat down than a phone call came in, and without bothering whether Lin Feng was acclimated or not, Zhao Jian immediately dispatched him.
It turned out to be a kite that had broken its line and gotten tangled in the power lines; since the line was still dangling in mid-air, it posed a danger, making passersby steer clear.
At that moment, Zhao Jian sat in his office, imagining Lin Feng's vexed expression, as it was said there were sparks coming from the power lines. To remove the kite and prevent accidents should it rain, the electricity would need to be cut off. But that particular line supplied the physics lab, and if it was shut down, he figured that by tomorrow, the young man would be on his way out. The thought of this young man arriving and being sent away within less than half an hour gave Zhao Jian an immense sense of accomplishment. He could later report his success to Chen Yun. It was a matter of capability, this was...
"Bang!" Just as Zhao Jian was lost in his wild imagination and feeling happy, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in front of the table, startling him. On closer inspection, it was a giant eagle-shaped kite.
Ah!
Zhao Jian was dumbfounded. How long had the kid been out?
How could he be so quick? Impossible. The teacher who called earlier said there were sparks flying and it was very dangerous. How could this be?
"How... How did you get it down?" Zhao Jian asked Lin Feng in astonishment.
"I just blew on it and it fell down," Lin Feng said nonchalantly. For him, it was a trivial matter, only a distance of a few meters. If it weren't for the risk of shocking the world, he would have simply jumped up and grabbed it.
You're blowing hot air, bullshitting!
Zhao Jian rolled his eyes, feeling quite annoyed, when suddenly, an idea struck him.
"Quite capable, aren't you? We've got a real warrior in our Comprehensive Department. Right, there's been a complaint about someone keeping a dog in the boys' dormitory and it has reportedly bitten someone. Now, even they don't want to keep it, but the dog is very fierce. Go take a look and see if you can catch it. It's in building 16, on the third floor, temporarily confined in room 302, the storage room."
Zhao Jian thought to himself, heh, let's see you enjoy this, kid. That dog had bitten someone a few days ago, and it was only after over a dozen boys and their efforts that they managed to corral it into the storage room. It was supposed to be handled by professionals coming over tomorrow, as it might have rabies and probably needed to be put down humanely. You're so capable, huh?
Zhao Jian had been waiting for Lin Feng to refuse, so he could give him a good lecture and send him anyway, but to his surprise, Lin Feng simply got up and left.
Since coming back from the island, Lin Feng's mindset had already changed. He had noticed Zhao Jian's off behavior from the start and the look in his eyes, but now, he couldn't be bothered to expose it. He decided to stay for a while to see how things would go. As for the seemingly trivial or even worrying tasks others considered, to him, they were nothing more than a little game.
"Boom..." Not even ten minutes later, as Zhao Jian was closing his eyes imagining various possibilities, a loud noise startled him so much he jumped up from his seat. The next moment, he saw the supposedly rabid dog... – it was actually... actually on his desk...
"I... You..." Zhao Jian recoiled in terror.
"Crash..." He backed into the chair behind him, tumbling over and hitting his head on the ground, seeing stars.
My God, how did this rabid dog get onto my office desk? Zhao Jian, although dizzy from the fall, wanted to run, but then he realized, wait, this dog...
Upon looking closer, Zhao Jian saw that the dog was already securely tied up, with a bunch of waste paper stuffed in its mouth, whimpering as it lay on his office desk...
"Director, I've dealt with the dog. I'm going off work now," Lin Feng said, looking at his watch, which clearly showed it was time for the midday break as per the schedule.
"Hey... Come back here, you..." Zhao Jian tried to call Lin Feng back but found he had already left.
He's gone...
He actually left. How did he do it? How long was he out? How did he manage to catch this rabid dog...?
Zhao Jian stood there, completely baffled. Who is this guy!!
Zhao Jian knew just how crazed that dog was; it caused a lot of trouble in the school. The student who kept the dog had a significant penalty, was put under observation, and now...
What was most crucial was that Zhao Jian suddenly realized something – this seemingly obedient and young Lin Feng didn't seem so easy to deal with!
Coming home was for the sake of quiet living, and Lin Feng didn't want to disrupt that. Of course, he could look at everything calmly, but he wouldn't indulge those who sought trouble. As for the rabid dog, Lin Feng's mindset may have changed, but just a glance at the rabid dog back then would have paralyzed him with fear. In the last two years, not even a wild tiger would dare move in Lin Feng's presence.
In the following days, Zhao Jian didn't dare to overstep as he had initially, but during working hours, he 'thoughtfully' arranged tasks for Lin Feng.
Lin Feng didn't say much about it, but no matter the task, he always managed to resolve it swiftly once he was on it.
Zhao Jian was driven to a headache, and when Chen Yun inquired about Lin Feng's work, he genuinely didn't know what to say, because some things were so incredible even he found them hard to believe.
Finally, after pondering for several days, Zhao Jian came up with a job that a pampered rich kid couldn't handle – the park was filled with leaves, which involved no skill but was purely a draining and tedious task. Determined, he found an excuse to give the gardeners and workers responsible for cleaning up the leaves a holiday, then handed the job to Lin Feng!
