At midday, the sun shone brightly, and a gentle breeze blew. Led by He Ye, the group arrived at an extremely upscale and luxurious hotel.
The hotel boasts a magnificent exterior and an even more exquisite and opulent interior. Upon entering the restaurant, one is greeted by neatly arranged, exquisite tableware, pristine white tablecloths, and well-trained staff bustling about with practiced efficiency.
They ordered a lavish spread of dishes, each one a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, making them incredibly tempting.
However, when the bill arrived, the exorbitant price left He Ye speechless.
Fortunately, with the generous tycoon Xiao Weiguo present, this amount of spending was nothing to him, so everyone enjoyed the delicious meal to the fullest.
After a satisfying meal, it was already afternoon.
The group first safely escorted He Ye back to school, then returned to their hotel to rest and begin preparing for their meeting with Feng Guodong that evening.
It must be understood that the person being met this time is a high-ranking and powerful figure, and there is no room for carelessness.
Even with the highly respected elder Bai Zhenxuan accompanying him, Xiao Weiguo still dared not let his guard down and had to ensure that nothing went wrong.
After a thorough and detailed discussion with the old man, Xiao Weiguo finally finalized a complete and comprehensive set of arguments.
After all, considering his past and present lives, he had never dealt with a leader of this level so closely and formally before!
Thinking of this, a ripple of emotion stirred within him, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous and uneasy. However, he knew that it was precisely at such a crucial moment that he needed to remain calm and composed, and that acting cautiously was never a mistake.
Night fell, and the city lights began to twinkle. The clock had just struck seven.
To ensure they could arrive on time and not waste precious time, the group quickly finished dinner, then boarded a waiting taxi and sped off towards the hotel where their leader was staying.
As soon as we arrived at the hotel's perimeter, we were met with strict security checks.
Not only Feng Guodong, but also high-ranking leaders live here for security reasons.
After repeated identity checks, the three were allowed in and led by security personnel to Feng Guodong's room.
Standing outside the towering, imposing gate, Xiao Weiguo felt his heart pounding like a little rabbit, and his mood became slightly tense.
At this moment, he stood quietly behind the broad and steady figure of Old Master Bai Zhenxuan, like a respectful servant, silently awaiting the upcoming audience.
Time passed slowly, and finally, with a slight sound, the heavy, tightly closed door slowly opened.
The security personnel who had gone in to report earlier walked out again with steady steps.
He had a serious expression and didn't smile, but his tone was still quite polite.
"Please come in, everyone. However, the leaders are currently having a meal, so you will only have a maximum of forty minutes to talk."
Upon hearing this, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines. They knew all too well that for a leader of this caliber, time was so precious it could be measured in seconds.
Giving them a full forty minutes for the meeting was undoubtedly a tremendous favor and a great blessing.
So, led by the security personnel, the group carefully stepped onto the passageway covered with a bright red carpet and walked into the room.
With each step they took, the soft touch beneath their feet seemed to remind them of the solemnity and reverence of the place.
As soon as they stepped into the room, before they could even take a good look around, a deep and magnetic voice suddenly rang out.
"Old friend, what a rare guest!"
Before he finished speaking, an elderly man with a dignified posture and refined appearance greeted him with a smile.
From a distance, the old man appeared to be around sixty years old. Although the years had left some marks on his face, they had not diminished his innate temperament and charm.
He wore a pair of large black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, which made his deep and bright eyes appear even more intelligent.
Her gray hair was meticulously combed, neat and tidy, revealing a rigorous and self-disciplined attitude.
What's even more remarkable is that he doesn't exude that kind of imposing aura; instead, he has a gentle and approachable air, like the warm spring sun.
At first glance, it evokes a sense of goodwill, as if one were bathed in a gentle spring breeze, feeling extremely comfortable and at ease.
Without a doubt, this is the master they are meeting today, Feng Guodong.
Xiao Weiguo certainly recognized the old man in front of him.
In fact, he had seen the other person on the television screen countless times.
Because this old man was Feng Wanlin's biological father, and they were somewhat related, Xiao Weiguo had always paid close attention to everything about him.
However, the feeling of actually standing in front of someone you used to learn about through television is completely different from what you used to experience.
Looking at the old man in front of him, Xiao Weiguo felt a complex emotion that was hard to describe—he felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity, as if they had known each other for a long time.
At the same time, it felt very unfamiliar, as if I had never really encountered it before.
Just then, it was Old Master Bai who reacted first.
After all, he has far more experience in such situations.
With a smile on his face, he quickly took a step forward and extended his right hand to Feng Guodong without hesitation.
Feng Guodong understood immediately and quickly stepped forward, clasping his hands tightly together.
And so, these two old friends, once hailed as a golden duo in Jiaonan Province, reunited after many years.
Their hands were clasped tightly together, and they gazed into each other's eyes; time seemed to stand still at that moment.
"Old Feng! It's been a long time. I didn't expect that time waits for no one, and even you are starting to show signs of aging."
At this moment, Old Master Bai was clearly deeply moved, and even his voice trembled slightly as he spoke.
"Brother, your health is still as good as before. I really envy your carefree and leisurely life now, like a hermit."
Feng Guodong looked at Bai Zhenxuan, whose face was glowing with health, and felt a surge of emotion.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Old Master Bai stepped aside, making way for Xiao Weiguo behind him.
"Old Feng, let me introduce you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Feng Guodong raised his hand, interrupting the old man.
“Brother Bai, you don’t need to tell me, I know who he is.”
After saying that, he smiled and walked to the opposite side of Xiao Erguo, his gaze falling on Xiao Weiguo's face.
"Xiao Weiguo, right? He's currently the leading entrepreneur in China's industrial sector. If I remember correctly, you're the one who bought that house in my hometown, aren't you?"
