Chapter 17: Keeping a Dog in the Office
When Lin Fan walked through the door of the general office, everyone’s gaze turned towards him, their contempt splashed across their faces; after all, the dirty and tiring jobs no one in the office wanted to do had always fallen to him.
"Yo, isn’t this the genius? Not staying in the secretariat, have you been demoted again?"
As soon as Lin Fan sat down, a man in his forties holding a thermos walked in. He spoke in a sardonic tone and was named Xie Zhifu, a driver in the agency’s fleet. Since his wife, Qu Liping, was the director of the office, and he clung to his wife’s coattails, he often loitered around the office, and no one dared to say a word.
"Who would have thought that our office was keeping a dog?"
In the past, Lin Fan could only stay silent, but now he no longer needed to. Since they had used their connections to trample him in the past, it was his turn to have some fun.
"Who are you calling a dog!"
Xie Zhifu never expected that the previously quiet Lin Fan would retort like this.
"I said whoever, they know it themselves. Since when did people from the motor pool work in the general office?"
Lin Fan crossed his legs and turned his head to coldly chuckle.
"Lin, are you fucking asking for death? You think just because you were temporarily transferred to the secretariat for a few days that you’re something special? Don’t think we don’t know that you were just as invisible there, without even the right to a byline. Now that they’re done with you, they’ve thrown you back like a used rag, who are you trying to fool by acting all high and mighty?"
