"What!"
Lu Xun's mouth gaped open in astonishment for a long time.
He only spoke when saliva was almost drooling from his mouth:
"How did you manage that? Thirty million? They'd be losing a lot of money, and they actually agreed. I think fifty million would have been more appropriate."
Ji Fenghe had already lifted the covers and lay down on the bed, his eyes closed, looking like he was about to fall asleep.
"Remember to close the door when you go out."
As he spoke, he turned over, his back to Lu Xun.
"How can you still be sleeping? Didn't you just have a cup of coffee?"
"Aids sleep."
Lu Xun: "..."
Seeing that Ji Fenghe was ignoring him, Lu Xun pushed open the door and left.
He thought Ji Feng was usually very gentle and easy to talk to, but he never expected him to be so ruthless when it came to negotiating prices. It seems he should bring him along when discussing projects with the Western Kingdom in the future.
Lu Xun couldn't sleep anyway, so he quickly finished the contract. He then managed to stay awake until eight o'clock in the morning and called each of the people to inform them that they would sign the contract at eleven o'clock.
When the group gathered in the hotel lobby at ten o'clock, Song Mai was still looking at the news about Yunxing Group's withdrawal from the Western market. He couldn't help but admire the legendary Master Yun even more.
This person was indeed more charismatic than she had imagined.
However, it is precisely because of his boldness that Yunxing has developed to where it is today, and the current Yunxing has also become a testament to his boldness.
The contract signing went very smoothly. The mayor was present and treated Lu Xun and the others with exceptional kindness.
The contract was signed at just midnight, and there were still ten hours until the evening flight.
Someone suggested that they go sightseeing in the city together. Lu Xun asked for everyone's opinion, and seeing that everyone agreed, he borrowed two cars from Yunxing's branch in the West and prepared to drive to visit some famous attractions.
Around noon, the group had lunch together and then set off for an ancient city in the area.
This ancient city is located on the coast of the western country. It is a typical Mediterranean-style building with white walls and blue roofs, which looks very beautiful under the sunlight.
The young girl excitedly rushed to the beach to take pictures as soon as she got off the bus, while the others also got off the bus in twos and threes and walked into the ancient city.
Only Ji Fenghe sat in the car for a long time without moving, holding his phone as if he was making a call to someone, his face cold and ugly.
"I'll say it one last time, I'm not interested in you. If you call again, don't blame me for being rude."
After saying that, Ji Feng hung up the phone, his anger lingering for a long time.
Lu Xun sat in the passenger seat, his eyes filled with a hint of gossip.
"Suitors?"
"No."
Seeing that everyone else had gotten out of the car, leaving only the three of them in the car, Lu Xun got out first and then helped Song Mai and Ji Feng open the car door.
"Alright, alright, we're here to have fun today, and we don't have much time, so let's go for a walk."
Song Mai and Ji Feng also got off the car.
Watching Ji Fenghe's retreating figure, and recalling what he had just said, the image of that alluring and beautiful woman involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
Is it Yao Qianyu?
The group strolled around the ancient city for a while, and just as they were about to leave, the sky suddenly darkened, followed by dense clouds, lightning, and thunder. In the blink of an eye, a storm arrived.
The once calm and azure sea is now turbulent, with dark clouds piling up on the horizon, making the sky seem so low that it looks as if those dark clouds will fall down at any moment.
Where the sky meets the sea, they merge together when viewed from afar. The waves crash against the shore like countless raging beasts, seemingly intent on devouring everything. Just looking at them evokes a sense of oppression and fear.
The rain was fine and dense, and soon the roads in the ancient city were filled with water.
The group found a coffee shop, sat down, ordered some coffee, and waited for the rain to stop.
But the rain showed no signs of stopping; in fact, it grew heavier and heavier, even rising above the steps in front of the coffee shop and pouring straight into the building.
The shop assistants were scrambling to pack up, and it was getting late.
Lu Xun glanced at the time; it was six o'clock.
They needed to rush back to the hotel to get their luggage before heading to the airport; otherwise, they would be too late.
The rain was indeed very heavy.
He glanced at the worried-looking people and finally spoke.
“We have to go, but we don’t have an umbrella. I just asked Manager Ji and the staff, and they only have one umbrella and can’t lend it to us. We’ll probably have to rush to the car.”
Everyone else agreed, but looking at the heavy rain outside, they couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The two cars were parked at the entrance of the ancient city along the coast. The city was still in this state of torrential rain, and she couldn't even imagine what a terrifying scene the seaside must be like.
Everyone stuffed their phones into their pockets to prevent them from getting wet. Then, Lu Xun and another young man rushed into the rain to drive the car to a place closer to them.
Ten minutes later, Ji Fenghe received a message from Lu Xun, telling him that the car was parked on the nearby Binhai Avenue and that he could go there.
After he relayed the message to the group, those who could put on their hats put them on and then rushed outside together.
The rain was so heavy that the raindrops felt painful when they hit my skin.
Song Mai felt like she couldn't open her eyes at all, and could only follow the others as they ran forward, relying on their blurry figures.
In just a few minutes, their clothes were soaked, their shoes were wet, and their trouser legs were half-soaked.
It's already winter, and everyone is wearing a lot of clothes. When they get wet, they become incredibly heavy, like having iron weights strapped to your body, making it impossible to run.
Song Mai was panting heavily, her legs felt like lead, and she was completely soaked after running for a while.
Just as she followed the crowd out of the alley, she suddenly stepped on a stone and, caught off guard, fell hard to the ground.
The water on the ground was already quite deep. Song Mai's knees slammed heavily into the ground, causing her to turn pale with pain. She struggled to get up several times but couldn't manage it. Her leg was cold and painful, and she couldn't move it at all.
The rain was so heavy that the raindrops pattered on the ground. The others continued running forward, completely unaware that someone had fallen behind them or that someone was missing.
Song Mai shouted for help, but her voice was completely drowned out by the rain; you could only hear a little if you listened carefully.
She sat in the rain, trying to use her hands to support her body and get up.
Unfortunately, her sweater and coat were soaked and incredibly heavy, leaving her completely exhausted after several attempts.
She gritted her teeth and pulled out her phone from her pocket, wanting to call them for help, but because she had fallen into the rain, the phone was already soaked and, although it was still on, it was no longer working.
As time ticked by, Song Mai couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.
