The Way of Heaven Rewards Diligence in Film and Television

On Saturday, Lin Yang, Li Xiaoyue, Gao Lan, and Hu Haili were having hot pot and chatting together at a hot pot restaurant near Lin Yang's residential area.

"I never expected this. I thought Xie Meilan was so independent and strong. It turns out that after divorcing Shen Lei, she became someone's mistress and caused such a scene," Li Xiaoyue said, shaking her head slightly as she ate.

Gao Lan said, "There's nothing strange about it. These days, even if you're capable, you need opportunities, people who appreciate you, and even connections. It's hard to get by in the workplace without a backer. The financial industry values ​​these things the most."

"Yes, background, connections, powerful backers..." Hu Haili chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"Isn't that how a relationship-based society works?" Lin Yang took a sip of beer and said, "How have you guys been lately?"

"Just coasting along!" Li Xiaoyue said, "The ones who work the hardest are Manager Na and Sister Lan. We lowly soldiers just need to follow along and cheer."

Hu Haili shrugged and said, "I'm about the same as Xiaoyue, even more relaxed than her. Small companies don't have much HR work."

"You're young, I have to work hard," Gao Lan said with a wry smile.

"How are you? Are you settling in well at the investment company?" Hu Haili asked Lin Yang.

Lin Yang casually laughed and said, "The people who do the work are all my subordinates. As the vice president, I don't have much to do personally. As long as I can keep an eye on the big picture and ensure a good return on investment, I can play games at work."

"Envious? That's the difference between ordinary employees and top-level management talent," Li Xiaoyue said with a smile.

"I am the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses," Lin Yang said, which immediately made the three women laugh.

"Lord Bi Ma Wen, when are you going to cause a ruckus in Heaven and become the real master of the investment company?" Li Xiaoyue jokingly asked.

Lin Yang shook his head and smiled: "A cow or a horse wants to turn the tables and become the master? Dream on!"

Meanwhile, in the private room upstairs, Su Meilin, Lü Wei's ostensible rival and best friend, watched Lin Yang and Li Xiaoyue chatting and laughing downstairs and couldn't help but jokingly say, "Your younger brother is quite something!"

"He's not my brother, don't make wild guesses. Do you think my dad's reputation is ruined?" Lu Wei said irritably.

"Really not your brother? Or is he really the marriage partner your dad chose for you?" Su Meilin pressed, and seeing that Lü Wei didn't refute it, she couldn't believe it: "No way?"

"My dad does want me to marry him," Lü Wei nodded slightly, looking somewhat helpless.

"Really? Lü Wei, are you kidding me again?" Su Meilin said quickly, "No, I admit, he's quite outstanding, but why him? What was Uncle Lü thinking?"

"You've really fallen for him? He already has a girlfriend, and more than one woman in his life..."

Lü Wei remained noncommittal: "You might not believe it, but he and I were betrothed as children, although it was just a joke between our parents."

"So melodramatic? Lü Wei, let's stop joking around today. He comes from a very ordinary background, right? How could he possibly be your childhood sweetheart? Do you think I watch too many idol dramas?" Su Meilin said with amusement.

"My dad also started from scratch; the company was built up gradually," Lü Wei said.

"Wait, let me calm down..." Su Meilin said, waving her hand, then frowned and looked at Lü Wei:

"So, are you really considering marrying him? Or having him move into your family? Were your previous actions a test for him?"

"Why are you being so ridiculous! What do you like about him? There are plenty of men who are more outstanding and handsome than him... Do you think he's easy to control because he doesn't have a powerful background?"

Lü Wei said, "I wouldn't say I like him, I just don't dislike him or am satisfied with him! As for why I chose him, you can guess slowly."

"I don't have the time to play riddles with you. Choose whoever you want. But let me remind you, don't be all talk and no action and end up getting nothing in return!" Su Meilin said.

"If all else fails, it would be nice to have him as my younger brother. I'll introduce him to you and have him be my sister-in-law, how about that?" Lü Wei said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Su Meilin's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she said irritably, "No way, Lü Wei, are you sick? Can you stop acting crazy all the time?"

"Can't I even make a joke?" Lü Wei said with a laugh.

Su Meilin rolled her eyes, then couldn't help but ask, "When are you planning to confront him?"

"Soon, this kind of thing can't be delayed," Lü Wei said casually.

"Alright! I wish you happiness!" Su Meilin said, raising her glass with a somewhat helpless expression.

"You have no sincerity at all. Let me tell you, if this doesn't work out, you'll have to take half the responsibility!" Lu Wei said, clinking glasses with her.

"If you can't handle it, I'll personally go and take him down, okay?" Su Meilin cursed directly in annoyance.

Lü Wei shook her head and smiled: "Big sister, how old are you? Don't be so overconfident!"

"Lu Wei..." Su Meilin was immediately on edge upon hearing this.

Monday of the new week, in the large conference room of Xuyang Investment Company.

"Mr. Xu, what's going on? Why are so many people here? Is this a company-wide meeting?" Lin Yang asked curiously as he followed Mr. Xu into the conference room.

After taking her seat at the head of the table, Ms. Xu whispered to Lin Yang, who was seated below her, "The chairman is personally presiding over the meeting to hear work reports? You must have prepared in advance, right?"

"Oh, I'm prepared," Lin Yang nodded slightly. The chairman of Xuyang Investment Company was someone Lin Yang had never seen since he joined the company. He was another elusive figure, just like President Lü.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yang, who was familiar with work report documents, also noticed that the first seat opposite Lu Jie was occupied by a slightly overweight middle-aged man with an expressionless face, who looked to be about fifty years old and had a shiny bald forehead.

He was looking at Lin Yang, scrutinizing him, which made Lin Yang a little confused. He subconsciously looked down at his clothes and touched the corner of his mouth and chin.

Lin Yang's appearance brought a slight smile to the lips of the slightly overweight middle-aged man.

Just as Lin Yang felt that this person seemed somewhat familiar, accompanied by the rhythmic sound of high heels clicking on the ground, a woman in a smart light green suit and trousers walked into the office and went straight to the head of the desk to sit down.

"A woman? So young? The chairperson?" Lin Yang was genuinely surprised.

"Uncle Zhou," after politely greeting the slightly overweight middle-aged man beside her, the young female chairman, who looked to be no more than thirty years old, turned to President Xu on the other side and said, "Aunt Xu, let's begin!"

Uncle Zhou? Aunt Xu? Hearing her address, Lin Yang became increasingly suspicious. A second-generation rich kid? A family business?

The meeting began quickly, and the chairman remained calm and casual throughout.

Only after Lin Yang finished his work report did she smile at him and say, "President Lin, you're so young, and you've only been with the company for three months, yet your performance is already so good! Keep up the good work!"

As Lin Yang was about to return to his office after the meeting, the chairman called him to her office.

The chairman's office was large, but the style of its layout surprised Lin Yang.

"Everything here was left behind by the previous chairman. As the acting chairman, I rarely come here, so the office hasn't been touched."

With a smile, the chairwoman gestured for Lin Yang to sit down, saying, "Let me formally introduce myself, my name is Lü Wei!"

"What?" Lin Yang was stunned. He had only spoken to Lü Wei on the phone, and only now did he realize that Lü Wei's voice sounded somewhat familiar.

"Surprised? I told you you wouldn't last three months at your previous company, so I won, didn't I?" Lü Wei laughed.

Lin Yang chuckled: "President Lü said he's a shareholder of this company, so he's the major shareholder. Was he the chairman before?"

"No," Lü Wei shook her head.
