Chapter 17: 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?" Xie Zhifu immediately launched an unrestrained attack. "Right, I’m invisible, so what? But I entered this office on my own merit. What about you, a contract worker strutting around our office, on what basis? Oh, indeed, on what basis!" Lin Fan, with his arms crossed, didn’t utter a word of profanity, but his retort was filthy; even though the others knew Lin Fan was going to suffer, they couldn’t help but snicker. "You dare curse at me!" Xie Zhifu, red-faced and thick-necked, grabbed Lin Fan’s collar. He was very aware of what people said behind his back, but publicly, who didn’t greet him respectfully as Xie? He had never suffered such humiliation before. "A contract worker, ready to hit a regular staff? Before you bite, you might want to ask your boss if she can clean up this mess." Lin Fan’s lips curled into a scornful, cold smile, watching Xie Zhifu’s distorted face; he had been holding these words inside for a long time. The shit that he had been made to swallow under his oppression, today he was going to make sure Xie Zhifu ate it all back, and not just that, he was going to gift Xie Zhifu a grand green hat to wear. "What is going on here, this is an office!" Just then, a stern voice came through, as office director Qu Liping, wearing glasses, stood coldly at the door looking at the two men. "He called me a dog!" Xie Zhifu, feeling aggrieved, let go of Lin Fan’s neck, while Lin Fan continued to happily look at Qu Liping, awaiting this moment; it seemed the fish had taken the bait. "Lin Fan, causing trouble as soon as you return, do you not want to work in this office anymore?" Qu Liping’s face was stern, her image in the office always harsh and severe. "Director Zhang, I was sitting in my own office when a fleet driver grabbed me by the collar. Tell me, who do you think wants to quit their job?" Lin Fan straightened his wrinkled shirt and sneered as he looked at Qu Liping. Her figure wasn’t great, but for a woman in her forties, maintaining slimness was rare. As for her looks, they were mediocre, but the thought of her swinging her hefty hips with a tail in the video made him feel a surge of heat inside. "You, get out for a moment." After Qu Liping gave Xie Zhifu a contemptuous glance, she turned to Lin Fan and said, "Come to my office." "Kid, you’re going to suffer, let’s see if you still dare to be arrogant with me!" Everyone knew that Qu Liping calling Lin Fan to her office meant she would reprimand him severely. Xie Zhifu, grinding his back teeth and holding a thermos, walked out, but Lin Fan smirked coldly and followed Qu Liping towards her private office. Seeing her walking ahead in high heels, he was determined to teach this vile woman a lesson. He pushed open the office door. Qu Liping went straight to the chair behind her desk, while Lin Fan closed the door behind him and locked it, then sat down in the chair opposite her. "Lin Fan, you just got back to the office and already started causing trouble. Do you think having a position lets you do whatever you want?" Qu Liping’s face was dark with anger. Xie Zhifu cursing in her office was a slap in her face. She needed to teach him a harsh lesson. Yet, Lin Fan ignored her completely and began looking at his phone with interest. "What kind of attitude is that? Are you even disregarding me, your leader?" Lin Fan’s demeanor, with a strange smile hanging on his lips as he kept staring at the phone screen, made Qu Liping angrily slam the table and say, "I’m telling you, there are rules within the system. I can’t fire you, but I can transfer you to another department. If you’re incompetent during your tenure, I can still make you leave." But no matter what she said, Lin Fan remained silent, with only that eerie smile. "Are you even listening to me? Don’t push it too far!" The once docile lamb had suddenly turned brash and brazen, which infuriated Qu Liping even more. Just as she was about to continue screaming, a series of loud, gasping sounds came from Lin Fan’s phone, causing Qu Liping’s face to turn crimson. "You dare watch such a video during work hours, right in front of me? That’s too much! It’s a crime; it’s sexual harassment... Believe it or not, I’ll call security right now and have you thrown into jail!" "Go ahead, call them. You might as well call everyone in the building to come and enjoy the show!" Lin Fan laughed and turned his phone around to face Qu Liping. Seeing the explicit flesh and writhing bodies on the screen, she was struck as if electrocuted and collapsed onto the chair. "How do you have this video..." Qu Liping broke into a cold sweat, never imagining such a private matter could have been secretly filmed. Now she understood why Lin Fan dared act so bold. "Do you think you still have the right to talk to me like that?" Lin Fan stood up smilingly and walked over to Qu Liping, grabbing her hair, "How about I share the video in our office group chat? Let everyone have a look? I recall you’ve offended quite a few people; I can guarantee the whole building will know by noon and the whole city by the end of the day what a lowly person the office director really is behind closed doors." "What do you want to do!" Qu Liping trembled all over, knowing once exposed she had no way out but death. "Director, don’t be nervous; I just want to experience the joy of being your master!" Lin Fan swung his right hand, delivering a slap to Qu Liping’s face. Such people need to be treated this way.
