Chen Feng didn't expect Li Shengping to be so loyal, even after knowing the whole situation, he still wanted to help him. This was truly rare. He had to know that Fan Yigang was his direct superior, and if he offended him, he would be in for trouble in the future.
This made Chen Feng sowhat moved.
"Uncle, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to worry about it. I can solve this on my own. Anyway, thank you, Uncle."
"Sigh, since you called Uncle, I'll try my best to help you. But you should know, this is an administrative order from the headquarters, and our branch can't overturn it. If you want the production team to resu work, try to clear up the misunderstanding. Sotis, you have to lower your head when necessary. After all, if the production stops, you could lose real money. The sooner the work resus, the less you lose."
"Yes, I understand. Thank you for your concern, Uncle. I will handle this myself."
"Alright then. If you need my help, just let know."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle."
...
After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng's expression imdiately darkened.
This ti, he was really disgusted by Fan Xin.
As for bowing and scraping to Fan Xin for forgiveness, that was never an option for him.
The production team stopping for a day was a loss, but it was completely within his tolerance range. Even if the whole new project was scrapped and the company went bankrupt, he would never humble himself to Fan Xin, that bastard.
This is a matter of principle, not subject to compromise.
Not long after, Lu Sijia called him again to ask what to do next about the production team.
Chen Feng indicated to give the entire production team a holiday, the paid kind, and would notify them later when to resu work.
After hesitating for a while, Lu Sijia agreed.
Then, shortly after, Wu ngting called him to ask what happened.
After a brief hesitation, Chen Feng told her the truth.
After Wu ngting learned the details, she didn't get angry. She calmly suggested that since the production team was on vacation, he should co to Hengdian and have a good ti with her.
Chen Feng was feeling a bit upset inside and agreed. Going over there to relax would be nice.
anwhile, Fan Xin was extrely happy and proud.
When the "Green Jade Case" production was halted, he was on the scene witnessing it all.
Unfortunately, at that ti, neither Chen Feng nor Lu Sijia were present, which made him feel slightly disappointed.
But he believed that sooner or later, Chen Feng would bow and apologize to him, accepting his humiliation and pressure obediently. Then, he would make sure to toy with Chen Feng and have him help to get Tang Xinyi.
As long as Chen Feng could help him win over Tang Xinyi, he might as well take him in as a subordinate.
It's just that, a day after the "Green Jade Case" production stopped, he didn't receive any calls from Chen Feng, not even from interdiaries like Tao Yaoyang.
This made Fan Xin extrely uncomfortable. He thought he had nailed Chen Feng's weak spot, but the other party acted completely unfazed, leaving him without any sense of achievent. How could he be happy?
By the afternoon of the second day, there was still no sign of movent from Chen Feng, which made Fan Xin uneasy. He planned to call Chen Feng himself and mock him.
Just as he was about to ask soone for Chen Feng's phone number, his phone rang, displaying a call from his uncle, which he promptly answered.
"Uncle, what's the matter?"
Fan Xin asked casually. His father's generation had three brothers, but in his generation, he was the only boy. Since middle school, he had lived in his uncle's house in Beijing for school, feeling closer to his uncle than his own father.
His uncle had only one daughter, and of course treated him like his own son, even more so, doting on him greatly.
And he was quite successful, continuously improving his academic performance from middle school. He was directly admitted to USC in the Beautiful Country for his college entrance exam and studied there for four years, obtaining dual degrees.
However, he was unwilling to work within the system, otherwise with his credentials and connections, he would certainly have beco a mid-level leader in so unit by now.
To this, his uncle did not insist.
"Xiao Xin, co back as soon as you can." Fan Yigang's voice sounded sowhat downcast.
Fan Xin sensed sothing wrong in his uncle's tone and quickly asked with concern, "Uncle, what's wrong? Is sothing the matter?"
"Sigh!" Fan Yigang sighed heavily, "Yesterday afternoon I felt a bit unwell and went to the hospital for a check-up. It turns out I have a tumor in my brain. Although it's not very large, it could be fatal at any ti. Additionally, the disciplinary departnt has received nurous reports against , and they're planning to open an investigation. So, I've decided to apply for early retirent. I submitted my report this morning, and it just got approved a few minutes ago."
After listening, Fan Xin was stunned, taking a long while before muttering, "Uncle, you can't resign. What will I do if you leave?"
"It's not resignation, it's early retirent," Fan Yigang corrected.
"Isn't that the sa thing? You're not in office anymore. Uncle, listen to , the position you hold now didn't co easy. It took decades of hard work to achieve. Is it really not a pity to give it up just like that? A real man can't go a day without power, you're still young and have the capability to climb even higher. Giving it up now, isn't it a pity? Can you really adapt to the tediousness of retirent life?"
"Sigh, I don't want to step down so early either, but now I have a tumor in my brain, don't you understand? Plus, with all those reports against , if I don't retire now, it might end badly."
Saying this, Fan Yigang sighed again, "Xiao Xin, I know this early retirent affects you a lot too. So, you shouldn't ss around in the film and television industry anymore."
"Uncle, do you really have a tumor in your brain? Have you gone to another hospital for a second opinion?" Fan Xin asked, unwilling to give up.
"I got checked at the best oncology hospital in Beijing, how could it be wrong? Sigh! Sotis you just have to accept fate. Before yesterday, I never dread I would have a tumor or retire early..."
Fan Xin loudly interrupted him, "Uncle, listen to , go to other hospitals for another check. There may not actually be a tumor, and even if there is, it might be benign."
"Silly child, how could sothing like this be wrong? Besides, my early retirent application has already been approved, and it's too late to take it back now."
Fan Xin suddenly felt as if he had lost the world, not wanting to say anything else.
