Lin Yifeng was also curious about the extent to which Duan Yusheng had been tricked.

However, judging from Duan Yusheng's hesitant expression, this matter must be related to the inside of their mall and should be confidential information that he did not reveal to Lin Yifeng.

Lin Yifeng didn't ask any further questions, and simply took a couple of sips of water.

When the car arrived at the hotel, Duan Yusheng checked in with Lin Yifeng and then went to the restaurant first.

That evening, Lin Yifeng had dinner with Duan Yusheng and Wang Deming, and then began to make preparations for their meeting the next day.

The next morning, Lin Yifeng was driven to the headquarters building of Huili by Duan Yusheng's driver.

Compared to the Warrior factory in Central China, the Warrior factory in Shanghai has an office building. The space is not very large, but there are many people coming and going at the entrance.

They are basically local distributors who have business cooperation with Warrior (Warrior).

As the largest rubber shoe company in China, Warrior still falls short of being a sports brand in this era, with most of its shoe styles being imitations.

These days, wearing Warrior (or similar clothing brands) isn't looked down upon as much. However, in a few years, as the domestic economy develops and improves, Warrior will become synonymous with "knock-off" and "tacky."

Lin Yifeng didn't care about the future of Warrior shoes and clothes. What mattered was that Warrior shoes and clothes were of excellent quality, and they still had factories doing OEM business.

"Hello, do you have an appointment?"

On the first floor of Huili, the female receptionist greeted Lin Yifeng with a smile.

Lin Yifeng nodded slightly.

"Um."

"This morning, Xue Xingguo wanted to talk to me about cooperation."

The receptionist hurriedly flipped through her notebook and quickly found the appointment with Lin Yifeng.

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

"Please come this way, Mr. Xue is already waiting for you in his office."

Lin Yifeng was slightly taken aback.

Mr. Xue?

Although he had considered that Xue Xingguo's background was unusual, being called "President Xue" here was definitely not that simple.

Generally speaking, if Xue Xingguo claims to be the distributor of Warrior electric vehicles in Shanghai, the female receptionist would definitely say "Distributor Xue."

It seems that Xue Xingguo might actually have some connection with the CEO of Warrior (or similar brand).

Lin Yifeng didn't know the specifics of their relationship. He only knew that he had made a few inquiries, but people in Shanghai were very tight-lipped and wouldn't say a word about it.

After taking the elevator directly to the eighth floor, I walked a short distance from the door and arrived at a door with a sign that read "General Manager's Office".

The receptionist smiled and knocked on the door, calling out to the person inside.

"Mr. Xue."

"Lin Yifeng from Zhongzhou Province, Boss Lin is here."

A relaxed voice soon came from inside the room.

"Are they here?"

"Please come in quickly."

As the door opened, a huge executive desk stood against the wall, surrounded by nothing more than some common jade ornaments, no different from the office of a typical big boss.

However, to Lin Yifeng's surprise, Xue Xingguo's office not only had panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, but also a temporary golf table.

If he weren't in Shanghai, Lin Yifeng would have thought he was on Wall Street.

Xue Xingguo also changed his usual appearance, wearing a short shirt with trousers and a blue tie, looking every bit the elite.

"Boss Lin."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Xue Xingguo smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with Lin Yifeng.

After welcoming Lin Yifeng into the house, Xue Xingguo waved to the receptionist to leave.

Soon only Lin Yifeng and Xue Xingguo remained in the room.

What would you like to drink?

"Here we have juice, Red Bull, and Coke."

Xue Xingguo sat behind his desk, opened the refrigerator from under the desk, and asked Lin Yifeng in a friendly manner.

Lin Yifeng pondered for a moment.

"Ordinary water is fine."

Upon hearing this, Xue Xingguo was slightly taken aback, but he quickly handed Lin Yifeng a glass bottle.

Lin Yifeng was dumbfounded when he saw the curved glass bottle.

If we're talking about different types of water for entertaining guests these days, Yibao and the like are considered quite ordinary. High-end establishments use Laoshan, and the most luxurious might use Nestlé.

Xue Xingguo then threw him a bottle containing something Lin Yifeng never dreamed of.

Evian mineral water.

Even in the future, this thing would be considered a high-end entertainment standard, especially these days. After customs duties, a bottle of this would cost at least forty yuan.

Xue Xingguo handed it over right there in front of him, and on his table was a half-empty bottle.

Judging from this behavior, Xue Xingguo basically drank it like ordinary mineral water.

At this moment, Xue Xingguo was also secretly observing Lin Yifeng's expression, wanting to see how Lin Yifeng would react.

Unfortunately, Lin Yifeng was already used to this kind of thing. It was just that buying such things in Zhongzhou Province was troublesome, so he didn't think it was anything special.

Seeing that Lin Yifeng did not react, Xue Xingguo was inevitably a little disappointed.

When he usually uses this kind of pretentious way to entertain clients, some clients will be puzzled, and some will be shocked. But Lin Yifeng will not show any expression and will simply place the water on the table calmly.

She just quietly looked at Xue Xingguo in front of her.

Seeing that Xue Xingguo was not speaking, Lin Yifeng even took the initiative to tease him.

"Mr. Xue has a very high quality of life."

"I usually drink Evian."

"People like us are lucky to have enough to eat."

Xue Xingguo waved his hands repeatedly.

"Mr. Lin is joking."

In their first exchange, Lin Yifeng had a slight advantage over Xue Xingguo.
