C128 Lin Ruobing Sneered Lin Dong You Have Been Usurped!
Lin Dong glared at the door, seething with anger.
If he hadn't been concerned about causing a scene and jeopardizing his business, he would have already confronted the manager!
"I'll deal with you later!" Lin Dong vowed with venom in his voice, his words a clear reflection of his fury toward Manager Yang.
He was determined to carry out the plan he had devised as soon as he located the person in charge.
"Hehe," Lin Ruobing chuckled coldly from her seat beside him.
Lin Dong whirled around, asking, "What's so funny? Does my anger amuse you?"
"Lin Dong, haven't you realized that something's off?" Lin Ruobing countered, ignoring his question.
"What could possibly be wrong?" Lin Dong shot back, his eyes boring into hers as if trying to unearth secrets from their depths.
Lin Ruobing, arms folded, declared, "Lin Dong, you've been sidelined."
"What?" Lin Dong turned to face her in disbelief.
He protested, "That's impossible. I haven't even met with the person in charge here."
"You won't get to meet him. Remember how you mentioned that the person in charge hasn't reached out to you in a while? It's not negligence; he's trying to usurp your authority," Lin Ruobing explained, her tone icy.
Her gaze held a knowing gleam. Given her background, Lin Ruobing had been exposed to plenty of deceit and power plays from a young age. She had witnessed scenarios like Lin Dong's more than once, where ambitious subordinates, dissatisfied with mediocrity, would undermine their superiors to diminish their influence and eventually seize control for themselves.
Lin Ruobing knew exactly what was happening with Manager Yang's attitude toward Lin Dong, but she felt no need to spell it out. Instead, she was curious to see how Lin Dong would handle the situation. If he lacked the necessary skills, he would be completely devoured by his adversaries. This was an opportunity to gauge Lin Dong's capabilities.
Enlightened by Lin Ruobing's insight, Lin Dong's inner rage blazed even hotter.
Lin Dong had originally planned to come over for a bit of fun, followed by a meeting with the local manager to get an update on the business operations. He hadn't anticipated being treated with such disdain.
How could an employee dare to show such disrespect to his boss? And to think they had the audacity to justify it?
It was Lin Ruobing who had tipped him off that the manager intended to undermine him. This was something Lin Dong simply couldn't stand for.
With a steely look in his eyes, Lin Dong was ready to step outside and give that insolent Manager Yang a piece of his mind!
He wasn't the type to let others walk all over him!
This time, he was determined to teach that guy a lesson he wouldn't forget!
"Lin Dong, don't go," Lin Ruobing interjected.
"What's the problem? He's just a manager; can't I deal with him?" Lin Dong asked, his brow furrowed in frustration.
"You confronting him won't do any good and might just tip him off. If the person pulling the strings, Manager Xiao, finds out you're here, he might take actions against you. If you're planning something, you need to take him down directly," Lin Ruobing advised.
She had witnessed plenty of similar scenarios within her family and had a wealth of strategies up her sleeve.
Lin Dong, lacking experience in such matters, was taken aback by Lin Ruobing's insight. He hadn't expected this cool and collected woman to be so savvy.
He was genuinely pleased to have her assistance at this moment.
After several interactions with Lin Ruobing, Lin Dong had come to recognize her as not only reserved and intelligent but also capable of keeping the club's members in check.
Importantly, Lin Ruobing wasn't one to harbor ill intentions. Her advice was sound, and Lin Dong decided it was worth considering before taking any action.
