Chapter 1287 - 1287: Admitting and Correcting Mistakes

On the other side.

After Lin Feng got home, he watched a movie with Zhang Yuxi.

Then the two of them fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, when Lin Feng arrived at the office.

He saw Xiao Chen already waiting in front of him, it seemed like he was expecting Lin Feng's punishment. Lin Feng glanced at him and said.

"It's been a long time since the two of us have had a conversation like this."

Back then, Lin Feng thought the other person was particularly talented, and if he stayed in Lin Feng's lab, his future achievements would surely not be less than an Old Doctor. But after what happened, Lin Feng couldn't just let it go.

So even after Xiao Chen did something wrong, he seemed uneasy.

Lin Feng poured him a cup of tea and said:

"If you really admit your mistake, I won't stop reconsidering. But from now on, in the lab, your position will definitely be subject to suspicion."

Because after this incident, Lin Feng absolutely did not plan to hide it but rather wanted to inform everyone in the lab. If anyone acted like him, there would only be one outcome: being fired.

At the same time, he would be taken away by a third party, so after hearing Lin Feng's words, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel unsatisfied,

But instead, he sighed with relief. Lin Feng's leniency made him feel uneasy, but it seemed that Lin Feng had learned his lesson and gave him an answer.

So he nodded and said: "If the boss can punish me, I will accept any punishment, as long as it appeases you."

He understood very well that the harm caused to Lin Feng was significant, and it was also bad for him, affecting not only his future work but also his sister's safety.

Lin Feng patted his shoulder, his tone heavy with meaning, sighing as he said:

"If you could have told me the truth earlier, perhaps things wouldn't have ended up this way. So this is all your own doing, understand?"

The other person nodded, showing he knew his mistake, and lowered his head: "If I had told you earlier, perhaps I could have reunited with my sister a long time ago."

"But back then, not only was I unable to take that step in my heart, but I was also forced by Zhang Kaitian. Now it's over, so no matter what punishment you give me, even if you send me to jail."

"I believe this is a responsibility I should accept, and you don't need to worry about whether I will hate you."

Lin Feng saw that his apology was sincere and that he would not repeat his mistakes.

So he nodded, considering the matter resolved.

"Well, now that things are almost settled, can you go back to work in the lab?"

"And as for the punishment, you won't receive a salary for half a year."

Upon hearing this, the other person quickly stood up and apologized to Lin Feng, saying: "That's great, hearing this is the most beautiful language I've heard in the world."

Lin Feng said to him:

"Don't forget my additional remark; withholding your salary doesn't mean you'll starve on the street. You'll be provided with accommodation and three meals a day."

"But only the basic living allowance of one thousand yuan per month, no other expenses will be provided for half a year, understand?"

Lin Feng's words were acceptable to the other party, but Lin Feng wasn't so heartless as to give them nothing.

Moreover, in the lab, if someone knew about their difficult situation, surely someone would help them out, so Lin Feng didn't need to worry about it.

However, Xiao Chen hadn't thought too deeply about this, only feeling that Lin Feng's forgiveness was his greatest luck.

He was almost on the verge of kneeling to thank Lin Feng and asked: "How is your sister? Yesterday, she took the poison given by the Old Doctor; is she alright in the hospital?"

Since he could still see the smile on Xiao Chen's face today, it seemed his sister was safe; thus Lin Feng asked routinely, and the other person nodded:

"Thank you for your concern, boss. My sister is fine; she slept in the hospital after having her stomach pumped. Anyway, she's used to staying in the hospital, and she probably won't be out for a month or two."

Lin Feng nodded lightly, thinking he'd send something to his sister later.

Although Lin Feng withheld Xiao Chen's salary as a form of punishment, it didn't mean he had no feelings for the siblings.

"Alright, you can go back to work now. But remember to clarify your situation with your lab colleagues. No matter how they judge you morally, it's on you to handle."

"That's the responsibility you should bear, don't forget your words."

With Lin Feng's affirmation, he returned to the office building, facing all the colleagues waiting for him.

His eyes brimmed with tears, and he said to them:

"Thank you all. If it weren't for your trust and waiting, the boss wouldn't have given me this chance. I'll cherish my time with you all from now on."

After saying this, some colleagues brought flowers, while others carried cola and drinks, and they all embraced him.

They comforted him, saying:

"We wouldn't have waited if we hadn't known you truly faced difficulties. Alright, let's not talk about it anymore."

"We know a bit about your sister's situation; wasn't she kidnapped?"

"Don't worry, our boss is generous and will forgive your past mistakes."

After hearing their heartfelt words, Xiao Chen embraced him, saying:

"Thank you, good brother, for your trust. Even if I made many mistakes before to gain Boss Lin Feng's forgiveness, it's my fortune, and I will work hard as penance."

After his words, everyone nodded, expressing satisfaction with his corrective nature.

Soon after.

They started earnestly researching the new batch of drugs Lin Feng had developed.

In the evening.

Zhang Yuxi's friend called Lin Feng, saying something had happened to Zhang Yuxi at school, asking him to go over.

Lin Feng thought it was because of the previous issues with Zhang Kaitian, so he worried there was tension again.

He quickly packed up and headed to the school.
