Upon hearing him speak, Alex frowned slightly, but quickly put on an unusually enthusiastic expression.
“Dear Mr. Xiao Feng, please rest assured that once our chemical fiber production headquarters is established in the provincial capital, the downstream garment industry will soon start production. I will keep my promise. From now on, you will be the person in charge of Shang County.”
Xiao Feng was overjoyed upon hearing this, a fawning smile spreading across his face.
"Thank you, Mr. President. I will do my best to serve you and pave the way for your business in China."
Alex held up a finger and shook it at Xiao Feng.
"No, no, no, Mr. Xiao Feng, it's not for me, it's for the entire Ais Company, for our common cause, do you understand?"
"Yes, for Ais, for our common cause, I will dedicate myself wholeheartedly, even unto death."
Xiao Feng straightened up and replied with a serious expression.
Alex nodded in satisfaction.
"I've had those two items you sent appraised by experts; they're genuine treasures. I really like them. Can you find anything like them again?"
After a moment, he continued.
"Mr. Xiao Feng, don't worry. As long as you can find treasures of the same level, I can consider recommending you for a position at headquarters. Then you can go live in our paradise, the United States."
Alex kept feeding Xiao Feng pancakes, and Xiao Feng couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
Foreign devils, do you really think I'm easy to fool?
They're all just empty promises, no different from farting. You can forget about it until I get any real benefit from them.
Then, Xiao Feng put on a very troubled expression.
“My friend has something else that’s even more valuable than those two, but she refuses to part with it no matter what. I’m trying to figure out what to do.”
Alex frowned, clearly displeased with Xiao Feng's words.
"What, are you not satisfied with the price we offered?"
Xiao Feng quickly waved his hand.
"No, no, no, she already took $50,000 from us. She doesn't need the money now, but she has one request, and she's very firm about it. No matter how I try to persuade her, it's no use."
"Oh, what are the requirements?"
Xiao Feng leaned closer to Alex and whispered.
"She said that after the company in Shang County opens, she wants a vice president position. After all, she and I are both locals from Shang County. There is an old saying in Longguo, 'Returning home in glory.' I'm sure you can understand, Mr. President."
After speaking, Xiao Feng stared intently at Alex, waiting for his answer.
Alex wasn't stupid; he immediately realized they were playing mind games with him, trying to lure him in with that treasure to keep him from breaking his promise.
He sneered inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged, still looking quite happy.
“Mr. Xiao Feng, you’ve done a good job. Then agree to her request. As long as she’s willing to hand over the items when the time comes, a mere vice president is no problem at all. We Americans have always been generous to our friends.”
Just as he said, a mere county-level deputy general manager position is something Alex can easily obtain if he can provide it. Once he has the goods, everything will still be under his control.
Both men had their own ulterior motives. After some mutual flattery, Xiao Feng got up to take his leave.
"Then I won't disturb your important discussion any longer."
"Mr. Xiao Feng, please go ahead with your business. I look forward to seeing you again next time."
Alex sat on the sofa without moving an inch, dismissing Xiao Feng with just one sentence.
After leaving the room, Xiao Feng carefully closed the door behind him, gave the two burly bodyguards outside the door a fawning smile, and then turned and left.
As he turned the corner of the stairwell, Xiao Feng's face darkened, and he turned back and spat fiercely in the direction he had just come from.
"Bah, you damn foreign devils, do you really think you can fool me?"
After saying that, he still seemed unsatisfied and spat out several more mouthfuls of saliva.
Xiao Feng, with his hands in his pockets, walked out of the Friendship Hotel, fuming with resentment.
Suddenly I saw two people standing in the square in front of the hotel, looking up at the building.
He knew that person so well that he dreamed about him every day.
That person was the one who caused him to lose his job, be kicked out of his home, and now live a life dependent on others.
That person was Xiao Weiguo, and his driver and bodyguard Jiao Bai.
Xiao Feng's deliberate attempt to obtain a position as the head of Shang County was largely for Xiao Weiguo's sake.
He plans to use American capital to oust Xiao Weiguo from Shang County, making his garment factory go out of business. Then Xiao Weiguo will be begging for his life.
They've been there for a while now. They're worried.
The Friendship Hotel is a hotel catering to foreigners. Without an introducer or acquaintance, ordinary people are not even allowed to enter. Although Xiao Weiguo is very famous in Shang County, his fame is not enough in the provincial capital.
The security guard wouldn't let him in no matter what he said. His reason was to protect the safety of foreign guests.
There was nothing they could do but wait there. Whenever a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner came out, they would go up and ask if he was from the Ais Company.
I've been waiting until now, but I still haven't seen anyone from Ais Company.
Just then, a Chinese man came out of the hotel. At first, Xiao Weiguo didn't pay attention, but the man called out his name from afar.
"Xiao Weiguo, what a coincidence!"
Xiao Weiguo looked closely and realized that this was Xiao Feng, who had been missing from their village for a long time. He seemed to have seen him in Shang County not long ago, so how did he end up here again?
