Financial success and romantic happiness

Just as everyone around was looking at Lin Chuan, Wu Min smiled and said, "This is Lin Chuan, a colleague who just joined our statistics department."

Master Hong's real name was Hong Guangfu. He was a straightforward person. At this moment, he looked at Lin Chuan seriously and asked, "How do you want me to recover?"

Lin Chuan said, "It's just a normal Chinese medicine bone-setting technique. First, the bones are set, and then massage is done. That way, you won't need to rest at home for two days."

Wu Min looked at Lin Chuan with some concern and said, "Lin Chuan, are you serious? This is medical treatment, not a joke."

Lin Chuan looked at Wu Min: "Don't worry, Sister Min, I know what I'm doing."

Hong Guangfu frowned: "Then you can try, but let me make this clear: if you make my condition worse, I'll make you take responsibility."

Lin Chuan was quite confident, but he still spoke humbly: "Don't worry, Master Hong, I know what I'm doing."

Hong Guangfu said to his two companions, "Come on, take me to him."

The skinny, jovial worker next to Hong Guangfu immediately laughed and said, "Master Hong, to put it bluntly, he's barely grown any hair yet. You really believe him?"

Hong Guangfu said, "I need to make money. My son is going to university, and if I miss two days, I'll lose my perfect attendance bonus for the month."

The thin worker didn't say anything more.

When Hong Guangfu approached Lin Chuan, Lin Chuan casually said, "Master Hong, please sit down first."

Hong Guangfu sat down with some skepticism, while Wu Min frowned and looked at Lin Chuan with a worried expression.

But Lin Chuan was certainly very confident in himself.

After all, he had studied medicine under his grandfather for more than five years, so things like bone setting and massage were easy for him.

Lin Chuan gently grasped Hong Guangfu's ankle, then deliberately smiled and said, "Master Hong, look who's at the gate!"

Hong Guangfu suddenly looked towards the company's main entrance.

In that instant, Lin Chuan swiftly and decisively realigned Hong Guangfu's bones. Everyone heard a cracking sound, and Hong Guangfu looked at Lin Chuan in surprise. Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Master Hong, your bones are back in place. Did you feel any pain just now?"

Hong Guangfu felt absolutely no pain and shook his head: "No."

Lin Chuan said, "Next, we just need to massage the surrounding damaged muscles to speed up their recovery. Please sit still and let me massage you. Of course, it would be even better if you had safflower oil."

The thin worker immediately said, "You have safflower oil in my drawer, I'll go get it for you now."

A moment later, the thin worker brought out a bottle of safflower oil. Lin Chuan poured some onto Hong Guangfu's ankle and then, using the cooling properties of the safflower oil, expertly massaged Hong Guangfu's ankle.

Lin Chuan massaged for five minutes before withdrawing his hand and said, "Alright, Master Hong, your ankle should not hurt anymore. Sleep on it tonight, and it will be fine tomorrow."

Everyone looked at Hong Guangfu with curiosity, clearly wondering whether his ankle had healed.

Hong Guangfu then tried to stand up and walked back and forth six times. At first, he walked cautiously, but gradually his speed increased. Finally, he smiled at Lin Chuan and said, "It really doesn't hurt anymore. It feels very comfortable, as if I had never sprained my ankle."

Lin Chuan smiled, feeling very satisfied.

Wu Min then cast an admiring glance at Lin Chuan and said, "Lin Chuan, I never expected you to have such abilities. Not bad."

Hong Guangfu looked at Lin Chuan seriously: "By the way, what's your name?"

Lin Chuan quickly replied, "My name is Lin Chuan, Master Hong."

Hong Guangfu said, "Thank you, Lin Chuan. As the saying goes, great kindness needs no thanks. If you need my help in the company in the future, just let me know."

Lin Chuan quickly smiled and said, "Master Hong, it's just a small matter, you're too kind."

A hint of admiration flashed in Hong Guangfu's eyes, clearly showing his appreciation for Lin Chuan's humility, modesty, and intelligence.

Furthermore, Hong Guangfu clearly remembered Lin Chuan's favor and would definitely repay it in the future.

Wu Min then laughed and said, "Lin Chuan, you're really good! You actually have such a technique!"

Lin Chuan said, "I've read about it in some medical books before, and I've also studied it, so..."

The thin worker laughed and said, "Sorry about earlier. If I had known you had such skills, I would have just brought Master Hong here with me."

Lin Chuan smiled and said, "It's not too late to send it over now."

Everyone smiled, and the atmosphere became very harmonious and pleasant.

But just then, an untimely voice suddenly rang out beside Lin Chuan: "Wu Min, Lin Chuan, did the company hire you guys just to chat and brag? Have you finished all the work I asked you to do?"

Wu Min quickly turned her head to the side, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.

Lin Chuan also looked to the side and saw Zhang Mingde walking towards them with his hands behind his back, looking like a leader on an inspection tour, with a hint of arrogance on his face.

Wu Min hurriedly said, "Manager Zhang, let's take a break and get back to work right away."

Zhang Mingde frowned and asked, "Didn't I tell you to load the things from the warehouse in Workshop 2 onto the truck? Are you done?"

Wu Min was about to speak when Hong Guangfu sneered, "It's all done. Manager Zhang, don't call those two young guys over to Workshop 2 next time. They're all talented; they should do the mental work. Leave the heavy lifting to us roughnecks. If you really can't stand it, you can come over yourself."

The thin worker chimed in with a laugh, "Manager Zhang, why do you always make your subordinates do the heavy work while you sit in your office and remotely control things? It must be so comfortable for you."

Zhang Mingde could easily tell that Hong Guangfu and his men were mocking him, and he coldly said, "Old Hong, Old He, what do you mean? Is it wrong for me to call my men to help you?"

Hong Guangfu coldly said, "Next time we need to work, let's all come together. We can't have the leader sitting in the office all day while his subordinates are working themselves to death."

The thin worker chuckled, "Yeah, it's better to be a leader. No wonder so many people like being a leader."

Zhang Mingde was clearly angry. After being spoken to in such a sarcastic way, he immediately turned cold and said to Lin Chuan and Wu Min, "Now that the work is finished, why don't you go and count the materials? Stop chatting and bragging and get to work."

Hong Guangfu gave a disdainful sneer, and the thin worker's eyes were also filled with contempt.

Zhang Mingde immediately walked away with his hands behind his back, probably worried that if he stayed any longer, he would be attacked again by Hong Tianfu and his group.

As soon as Zhang Mingde left, Hong Guangfu said with a look of disdain, "Old man, if he hadn't been sucking up to General Manager Fang all day, would he have become a manager with his character?"

Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes. From Hong Guangfu's words, he could at least tell that Zhang Mingde's manager position was not obtained through ability, but through some boasting and flattery.

Hong Guangfu immediately said to Lin Chuan, "Lin Chuan, don't be afraid of him. If he bullies you in the future, I will unite with my workers to support you. I want to see if the company will keep him or keep us if more than twenty workers jointly impeach that old man."

Lin Chuan certainly didn't want to make things too big for the time being, so he smiled and said, "Master Hong, I appreciate your kindness, but it's not time to go that far yet. You two go ahead and get busy, we need to get busy too."

Hong Guangfu said, "Okay, just let me know if you need anything. Anyway, I'm in Workshop 2 and you're in Workshop 1, so it'll be easy to contact each other."

Lin Chuan nodded earnestly, feeling both warm and happy.

At the very least, he gained an upright friend like Hong Guangfu at the company, which made Lin Chuan quite content.

After Hong Guangfu and the other workers entered the workshop, Lin Chuan, feeling curious, asked Wu Min, "Sister Min, why isn't Master Hong afraid of Manager Zhang at all? He even spoke to Manager Zhang like that just now?"

Wu Min said, "Master Hong has been a worker at the company for over ten years. He was already working here before Manager Zhang came. He's very familiar with the chairman. Do you think he'd be afraid of Manager Zhang?"

Lin Chuan suddenly realized why Master Hong had been so sarcastic towards Zhang Mingde earlier. It turned out that Zhang Mingde was a long-time employee and a meritorious employee of the company. Lin Chuan felt that he had finally found a treasure.

Wu Min immediately said, "Alright, let's continue with the inventory. You still have a lot to learn. Manager Zhang's attitude is secondary. You need to improve your skills as soon as possible; that's the most important thing."

Lin Chuan nodded hurriedly and said, "Sister Min is right!"

Lin Chuan and Wu Min continued their inventory until 5 p.m., when Wu Min finally took him back to the workshop statistics department office.

At this moment, Wu Min looked exhausted, and Lin Chuan also felt a bit sore in his thigh muscles, but he didn't feel tired. On the contrary, he felt very fulfilled. He had learned a lot from Wu Min that afternoon.

Just as Lin Chuan had rested for less than five minutes, Zhang Mingde came out of the office again and said coldly, "Wu Min, you teach Lin Chuan later. Let Lin Chuan take the shift tonight. Teach him what he should pay attention to when he's on duty."

Wu Min immediately widened her eyes and looked at Zhang Mingde, saying, "Manager Zhang, Lin Chuan just arrived and has no experience on duty. If something goes wrong, won't you be implicated too?"

Zhang Mingde coldly replied, "I told you to teach, so you teach. If he's not on duty, am I supposed to be?"

A cold glint flashed in Wu Min's eyes as she said, "Fine."

Lin Chuan felt confused again.

He really didn't understand what he had done to offend Zhang Mingde that made Zhang Mingde target him like this.

Suddenly, Lin Chuan thought of Shu Qiao.

Zhang Mingde had repeatedly asked him what his relationship with Shu Qiao was from the beginning. Could it be that he had an irreconcilable conflict with Shu Qiao, which was why she was taking her anger out on him?

In short, Lin Chuan felt he should be more careful around this Zhang man in the future.

Just as Lin Chuan was pondering, Wu Min said, "I'll stay with you on duty tonight. Usually, the shift ends at 10 p.m. I'll stay with you until 9 p.m. and teach you some things. If there's nothing else to do then, I'll go home."

Lin Chuan was extremely grateful and quickly said, "Sister Min, thank you, really, thank you!"
