CHAPTER 76: CHAPTER 76: MEITUAN BOSS’S RECRUITMENT, LIN FAN DOESN’T PLAY BY THE RULES

The couple who run the station never imagined that one day, the CEO of Meituan would personally visit their little station.

This is truly a tremendous honor. Meituan Delivery has tens of thousands of stations, and this situation is one in a million.

All of this is because of Lin Fan, Huang Qing came for Lin Fan!

The wife eagerly approached: "Hello, President Huang, I’m the manager’s wife, Hu Ajiao. It’s such an honor for us to have you here."

The wife warmly reached out, attempting to shake hands with Huang Qing.

But Huang Qing had already recognized Lin Fan standing nearby, and set aside the wife, directly reaching out his hand to Lin Fan: "Mr. Lin Fan, pleased to meet you."

The wife awkwardly smiled and withdrew her hand.

Lin Fan shook hands with Huang Qing and smiled: "Nice to meet you as well, you can just call me Lin Fan."

Huang Qing was secretly surprised. In Meituan, whoever saw him wasn’t like the manager’s wife, eager to flatter him. Not just a mere delivery worker, even the higher-ups of the company treated him like a father.

And yet, Lin Fan was so composed, as if he were on equal footing with this CEO!

If it were any other courier daring to be this way, Huang Qing would have already been upset, waving them away. But with Lin Fan, Huang Qing oddly didn’t find it strange, even found it justifiable.

Maybe it’s because Lin Fan drove a supercar worth 70 million, plus the four trending searches that made Lin Fan a viral hit last night. Huang Qing guessed Lin Fan must be a super-rich heir!

Lin Fan’s identity remains a mystery. Some speculate he’s an unseen tycoon; others suggest he’s from the Kyoto Lin Family.

If Lin Fan were really from the Kyoto Lin Family, Huang Qing would even have to curry favor with Lin Fan!

The Kyoto Lin Family is an entity even Huang Qing wouldn’t dare offend.

Before the truth comes out, Huang Qing believes that it’s absolutely right to maintain a good relationship with Lin Fan out of caution.

After last night’s four trending topics, Lin Fan earned the titles "The Handsomest Delivery Guy" and "The Wealthiest Delivery Guy," significantly boosting Meituan’s brand image thanks to the righteous super-rich heir.

Meituan has continuously spent vast amounts on brand promotion, but the work over past years doesn’t compare to the impact of Lin Fan’s one night of free publicity.

The industry mistakenly believed this was Meituan’s marketing strategy, even praising it as divine marketing. Various companies took it as a divine case study!

Only Huang Qing knew this was not marketing; it was a pleasant surprise. Lin Fan was this divine-level surprise.

Initially, Huang Qing intended to observe Lin Fan slowly, but due to the trending event, he couldn’t sit still, deciding to visit Yun City personally to meet Lin Fan.

He came here with two purposes: one, to learn a bit about Lin Fan’s background; two, to win over Lin Fan.

Huang Qing smiled: "Alright, Lin Fan, let’s sit and talk."

The wife quickly tidied up the tables and chairs, allowing the two to sit down.

Lin Fan said: "President Huang came over personally; I wonder what advice you have?"

Huang Qing replied: "Haha, I’ll be straightforward. Our company has the richest delivery guy who went viral online. I simply couldn’t sit still."

Lin Fan said: "Going viral was just an accident; I didn’t intend for it. Speaking of wealth, I’m nowhere near President Huang."

Huang Qing curiously asked: "Lin Fan, online speculation says you’re part of the Kyoto Lin Family. Is it true?"

Lin Fan thought, so President Huang is here to investigate his background, what a futile effort!

"What is the Kyoto Lin Family? I’m not part of that family," Lin Fan calmly said.

Lin Fan isn’t from the Kyoto Lin Family!

Lin Fan was telling the truth, but Huang Qing couldn’t discern whether he was truthful or deliberately hiding something.

Huang Qing chuckled: "I also thought, how could someone from the Kyoto Lin Family come to Yun City, and even work as a delivery guy. By the way, Lin Fan, with all your wealth, why work as a delivery guy for Meituan?"

Lin Fan sighed: "My family wants me to inherit the family business, but I don’t want to, so I ran away to find work. Who knew they’d still forcibly hand over the family wealth to me."

"..."

Cold sweat dripped from Huang Qing’s head, this... how does it sound like you’re the one aggrieved, I wish someone would hand over wealth to me too!

Huang Qing laughed: "I see, it’s rare for you to keep working as a delivery guy after inheriting the family wealth. This time you’ve earned Meituan a face, and considering your significant contributions, I’ve decided to promote you to Vice President of Meituan Delivery, with an annual salary in the millions, and invite you to work at the headquarters. What do you think?"

Promotion and a raise!

Huang Qing’s words shocked the station couple, leaving them wide-eyed and mouth agape.

At that moment, a few returning delivery workers hid nearby, watching in awe, drooling with envy.

From a delivery man, directly promoted to Vice President!

An annual salary of a million!

The leap in promotion is rather exaggerated.

They naturally didn’t understand Huang Qing’s intentions.

Huang Qing tried using promotion and a raise to win over Lin Fan, relocating him to headquarters to facilitate building a good relationship with Lin Fan.

Lin Fan remained calm. If it were before, he might have been ecstatic, but now, this level of promotion and raise had no lure for him.

Lin Fan smiled: "I appreciate President Huang’s regard, but I’ll pass. I just want to quietly continue delivering food."

Damn!

Lin Fan actually refused!

Those few delivery guys nearly lost it.

This is a chance they wouldn’t even dream of!

Huang Qing didn’t expect Lin Fan to refuse, feeling a bit awkward, he chuckled: "Lin Fan, do you really just want to be a delivery guy?"

Lin Fan said: "That’s right, although being Vice President comes with a million salary, I don’t lack money. To prevent much heartbreak from women losing their handsome guy, I wish to keep fighting on the service front."

Huang Qing wiped his cold sweat, that’s just too much showing off!

Huang Qing said: "Alright then, if you’re unwilling to be promoted, I won’t press. Lin Fan, your public-serving spirit is one all Meituan people should learn from. I will reward you as this month’s outstanding employee, how does that sound?"

Lin Fan laughed heartily: "President Huang, you could ask the station manager, I’m often late and frequently have customer complaints, are you sure you want to make me an outstanding employee?"

The station manager was sweating profusely; Lin Fan was indeed telling the truth.

"This..."

Huang Qing sweated, how does Lin Fan not play by regular rules.

A failed attempt at winning over!

Lin Fan found it amusing inside, this President Huang came all the way, inquired about his background, and offered various rewards, it seemed his aim was building rapport, alas, all efforts were misfocused.

Lin Fan smiled and said: "President Huang, if you truly want to reward someone, I recommend rewarding this station. The station manager has been conscientious and dedicated to running this place!"

Lin Fan said this, firstly to give Huang Qing a way out, secondly to offer a small compensation to the station manager for the disruption caused by fans.

Huang Qing heard it and agreed without hesitation: "Alright, this month’s outstanding site is here, with a bonus of 100,000!"

The entire station boiled over.

The station couple was overjoyed!

Outstanding station, a bonus of 100,000!

They never dared to think of such a thing before.

Just a word from Lin Fan, and they received this honor!

Lin Fan, you’re amazing!

The manager’s wife couldn’t stop smiling: "I just knew, with Lin Fan around, we were bound to get some benefits!"

Lin Fan stood up: "President Huang, it’s getting late. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head out to deliver now, goodbye."

With that said, Lin Fan coolly walked out.

The other delivery workers almost bowed down, saying goodbye so nonchalantly in front of President Huang - only Lin Fan among all Meituan employees dared do that.

Lin Fan left, and Huang Qing then also left the station.

"Unbelievable, this Lin Fan isn’t easy to win over. Did I come all this way for nothing today?" Huang Qing said, unwilling to give up.

His two assistants remained silent; it was their first time seeing someone not buy into President Huang’s offerings, it was rather impressive.

Huang Qing thought for a moment, then chuckled: "I refuse to believe Lin Fan is entirely immune to such advances, not interested in wealth, not tempted by power, and indifferent to rewards, but I bet he can’t resist beauty. I’ve thought of a plan. It seems that to catch a wolf, one must be willing to lose a child first!"
