NOVPUBWu Bin’s first action upon returning to school was to discuss tonight’s events in the work group chat and he emphasized that nobody was allowed to go to the bar to seek business opportunities on their own.
He clearly understood what Lin Nan and the others were thinking. 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
The main reason Lin Nan wanted to expand the bar’s business was its large scale; securing the bar’s business would mean significant commissions for them.
Lin Nan’s family was well-off, not lacking money, so perhaps expanding the bar business was just a way to showcase her abilities.
But it was different for others; they might very well take risks for the sake of high commissions.
Wu Bin certainly did not want to be rescuing people from bars all the time.
After emphasizing this matter, Wu Bin finally left the chat group and let out a long sigh.
It seemed that managing the company was not as easy as he had thought.
In his previous life, although he was not a top executive, he was involved in most things big and small in the company, so Wu Bin had strong management skills.
But back then, he just needed to get things done and didn’t need to take on any responsibility, after all, he was also an employee.
This time, having become a boss himself, he realized everything was not as simple as he had imagined.
Now that he needed to be responsible for every employee, the burden on his shoulders had suddenly become heavier.
Take tonight’s incident with Lin Nan at the bar, for instance; although it was Lin Nan’s personal action, she was there for work purposes, and if something really went wrong, he, as the boss, would have to take responsibility.
"It seems I need to formulate a detailed set of work guidelines," he said.
Just as Wu Bin was thinking this, Zhu Ling came up to him with a lollipop in her mouth and said, "Brother, time to eat."
Wu Bin slapped Zhu Ling on the head and spoke annoyedly, "You almost got beaten to death today, and you still have the nerve to eat?"
When Wu Bin went with Zhu Ling to rescue Song Bing, he had intended to confront the bald man himself.
It wasn’t that Wu Bin liked to show off, but by taking action himself, he could control how far things went to avoid causing serious harm.
Little did he know that Zhu Ling would act so swiftly; she started fighting before he even had time to react.
Fortunately, Zhu Ling had not hit too hard, otherwise, if she had killed two people on the spot, they would all have been arrested and locked up.
Zhu Ling pouted and said, "You humans are so troublesome. In nature, it’s normal for the strong to kill the weak in such situations, yet you have to be restrained by laws and stuff."
"When they were looking for trouble, they didn’t think about the law either. Are laws only there to restrict the good people?"
Wu Bin was stunned; Zhu Ling had suddenly raised such a philosophical issue, and he didn’t know how to respond.
The reason bad people are bad is that they break the rules, violate the law, and disrupt order.
And at that time, inevitably, someone’s personal interests are infringed upon.
The most troublesome aspect is that when someone infringes upon your personal interests, the law does not advocate meeting violence with violence, nor does it advocate an eye for an eye.
This places good people in a passive position.
Just like in this bar incident, if it weren’t for Zhu Ling and himself being harsher and less afraid of punishment than the bald men, by the time the police arrived, Song Bing and Lin Nan might have been severely beaten.
Wu Bin spoke without much confidence, "Regardless, now that you are actively in the city, you must follow our national rules. If you can’t manage that, you won’t have good things to eat in the future."
Zhu Ling pouted, very dissatisfied.
"All you know is to threaten me with treats, hmph. If I ever get angry, I’ll just turn into a dragon and eat all of you!"
Although Zhu Ling spoke in anger, Wu Bin couldn’t help but feel that she might actually be capable of doing so.
Just as Wu Bin was about to give Zhu Ling a serious talk, the sound of Song Bing’s voice came from outside the door.
"Old Wu, little sister Zhu Ling, may I come in?"
"Come in."
The bedroom door opened, and Song Bing entered with his hands rubbing together and a flattering smile on his face.
"Hehehe, Old Wu, still up?"
Wu Bin replied indifferently, "I was just about to go to sleep, what’s up?"
Song Bing said, "Actually, it’s nothing much, just that my mom called me just now and asked me to come home for a while, and this time I am really going back."
"Then my mom also heard about what happened today, and she insists on inviting you over to have fun, Old Wu look at this kindness, why not come with me tomorrow?"
Wu Bin was about to refuse, but considering that he might run into trouble with the bald guy recently, he thought for a moment and then said, "Alright, I can come over and stay at your place for a couple of days."
"You agreed, Old Wu?"
Song Bing was initially surprised, then very delighted.
"Great, great, I’ll tell this news to my mom right now, then, Old Wu, you hurry and buy the tickets, we’ll go back together tomorrow."
Song Bing went out to make the call.
Wu Bin also took out his phone and sent a message to He Bingbing.
Now that Wu Bin was going somewhere, He Bingbing and her group would definitely want to join, so Wu Bin sent a message first to let He Bingbing and the others buy their tickets as well.
...
The next day, noon.
Since Song Bing’s hometown was quite far away, they wouldn’t make it in time for lunch by car, so Wu Bin and his group decided to sleep in and head to the train station around noon.
When Wu Bin and the others arrived in front of a green train carriage with their tickets, the viewers in the live stream couldn’t help but comment.
"Wow, it’s a green train! I haven’t seen one in so many years, I thought this kind of green train didn’t exist anymore."
"What are you thinking? How could they not exist? Green trains are our country’s strategic reserve trains. If something really went wrong, all your electronic devices or high-speed trains might fail, but green trains can still operate, and they have a great cargo capacity too."
"Yeah, in the more remote areas like ours, it’s all green trains, they can carry a lot, and actually, they are pretty fast, not as slow as you might think."
Initially, Wu Bin thought the same as the viewers, as it was indeed surprising to still see green trains in this era.
But then he remembered that their destination was a small county town, and he felt relieved again.
According to Song Bing, his parents were in the medicinal materials business, although the companies were all in the city, the bases for the medicinal materials were in the mountains.
So, for better management, his parents spent most of their time living in the small county town situated at the foot of the mountain.
