"Mr. Tang, this document needs to be signed by you, and besides, Professor Lin will arrive at three o'clock in the afternoon, you see?" Tang Lin's secretary knocked on the door, then walked in, came to Tang Lin's side and asked softly.

Tang Lin stretched out her hand to take the document, she read it briefly, then signed her name with a brush, and returned it to the secretary, and said at the same time: "Immediately inform Xiao Li to prepare the car, I will personally go to the airport to pick up Professor Lin!"

"Yes!" the secretary nodded, turning to leave.

"Jingle bell—"

The phone on Tang Lin's desk rang, she picked it up, and was stunned as soon as she heard it: "You said that a person named Xiao Fan came to me?"

"Yes, Mr. Tang, he also said that he was your classmate, and he just met you two hours ago!" said the front desk lady on the other side of the phone respectfully.

"Okay, I know, you ask him to wait a while, I'll go out for a while!" Tang Lin hung up the phone, her face showed a trace of doubt, and she muttered softly, "Isn't this Xiao Fan already going to Jiangzhou City? Why did he come back again?"

Putting down the phone, Tang Lin got up and straightened her clothes, then walked out, and soon came to the front desk, she saw Xiao Fan sitting on the reception sofa opposite the front desk and waiting quietly.

"Xiao Fan, hey, I won't see you for a while, your hair has been cut short, and your clothes have changed?" Tang Lin suddenly walked over and said with a smile.

"Yes, the way I looked just now is really weird, so I have to change it, otherwise it's very uncomfortable to be pointed at all the time!" Xiao Fan got up, greeted him, and said with a smile.

"However, the ancient costume you dressed just now is also very good-looking, and you have a different temperament!" Tang Lin smiled, and then she asked a little strangely, "By the way, why did you suddenly come back to me again?"

"That's the case, I checked, my parents are no longer in China now, they are now in the United States, so I plan to go to Jiangzhou City, find our dormitory boss Zhang Feiyang, and ask him to help me get a passport to go abroad, but my travel expenses to Jiangzhou City are not enough, so I will come back again and ask you to borrow more!" Xiao Fan said very calmly.

"The train ticket to Jiangzhou is no more than two hundred, the bus ticket is no more than three hundred, even the plane ticket will not exceed eight hundred, and I gave you more than a thousand, the money should be enough!" Tang Lin suddenly furrowed his slender eyebrows when he heard Xiao Fan's words, and his crisp voice became slightly cold.

Combined with Xiao Fan's current 'current situation' and his refusal of his 'help', Tang Lin naturally regarded Xiao Fan as the kind of person who likes to work hard, is lazy, doesn't like to work, and asks others to borrow money all day long to live.

The common problem of this kind of person is that once he sees someone who is soft-hearted and easy to borrow money, he will use all kinds of excuses to borrow money vigorously, and the more he borrows, the more he borrows, and he only borrows but does not pay it back.

Although Tang Lin felt that she was not short of money, her own money was not blown by the wind, but she earned it bit by bit. Faced with a person who hadn't seen him for five years and opened his mouth to borrow money as soon as they met, Tang Lin felt that he was willing to borrow enough face for Xiao Fan, but he didn't expect Xiao Fan to actually want to borrow, and he had to inch in, which made Tang Lin only feel that Xiao Fan was really disgusting!

Seeing Tang Lin's face turn cold, Xiao Fan sighed and said, "Tang Lin, you may have misunderstood, I can't buy any bus tickets, train tickets and plane tickets because I don't have an ID card, and the taxi to Jiangzhou is too expensive, at least three thousand, so I have to come back and ask you again...!"

"Come back and ask me to borrow some more, right?" Tang Lin did not become relieved by Xiao Fan's explanation, but looked at Xiao Fan's expression even more cold and disgusted.

Just kidding, who doesn't have an ID card these days? How can you not have an ID card?

Even if you want to get money from me, can you find a decent excuse? For example, if you lose your ID card, you can really make people think that you are playing with me for a fool.

"Xiao Fan!" Tang Lin looked at Xiao Fan with disappointment, and said in a cold tone, "I really didn't expect you to become like this now, it's just a train full of mouths, what hasn't returned for five years, what family members have gone to the United States, what has gone to Jiangzhou City, I think it's all a lie, I really misjudged you." I borrowed your money before I thought I was blind, and I gave alms to Hanako to do good deeds, now please leave immediately, I won't give you another penny, if you refuse to leave, then I will call the security guard!"

Xiao Fan was really speechless, he opened his mouth to explain something, but suddenly shook his head, smiled bitterly, and turned around to leave.

At this time, explanations are useless, and staying here any longer will only add to the troubles.

"Humph!"

Tang Lin looked at Xiao Fan's back, let out a heavy cold snort from his upturned nose, and his beautiful face was full of disdain.

That's it!

An old man with a kind face, meticulously combed hair, and an elegant temperament of a scholar walked in from outside, and when he saw Tang Lin, he immediately laughed: "Mr. Tang!"

"Professor Lin, you, aren't you on the plane at three o'clock? Why did you arrive so early? I just said that I would personally drive to pick you up, but I didn't expect you to have already arrived!" Seeing this old man, Tang Lin was stunned for a moment, and the coldness on his face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a strong color of joy.

"Hey, don't mention it, that stupid girl in my family read the wrong time when she bought a ticket for me, it's six o'clock instead of nine o'clock, so I came a little early!" Professor Lin said with a smile.

"I was negligent, I should have called you again in advance to confirm!" Tang Lin said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's not that I haven't been to Huahai City, I'm still familiar with this place, I got off the plane and took a taxi to come over directly, it's not a trouble, I don't need you to pick me up again!" Professor Lin said with a smile.

"Okay!" Tang Lin said with a smile, "Okay, Professor Lin, please, I'll take you to the conference room for a meeting first, take a sip of tea and rest first, and then we'll talk about problems!"

"Good!" Professor Lin smiled.

"Professor Lin, you are finally here, great, as long as you are here, the R&D problem of our company will definitely no longer be a problem!" At this time, several department managers happened to come out, and they unexpectedly saw Professor Lin, and immediately walked over one by one, shaking hands with Professor Lin next to each other, and their expressions and attitudes were extremely enthusiastic.

"With Professor Lin here, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief!" a thin department manager laughed.

"Yes, we haven't been able to sleep all night during this time, and as soon as Professor Lin comes, we can sleep peacefully!" said another Humpty Dumpty department manager.

"I've won the award, I've won the award!" Professor Lin said with a smile, "I don't dare to guarantee 100% whether I can solve this research and development problem, everything has to wait until I read all the details and test results before I can make a final conclusion, but I will try my best not to disappoint everyone!"

"Professor Lin, please come inside!" Tang Lin said enthusiastically.

"Please!" Professor Lin said with a smile, and then walked inside together while talking and laughing, surrounded by Tang Lin and the others.

When Xiao Fan saw this scene, he groaned thoughtfully, didn't say anything, but turned around and left.
