Inside the office, Ke Bing saw Manager Bai arrive and hurriedly said, "Quickly call your sister and ask her."
"Okay, I'll call right now!" Manager Bai picked up the phone on the table and dialed.
The phone in Bai Meihua's room kept ringing, waking her from her sleep. She answered the phone and asked, "Who is it?"
"Plum Blossom, it's me. Are you asleep?"
"Sis? Yes, is something the matter?"
"How's the investigation going these past two days? Have you gotten any useful information?" Manager Bai pressed.
Bai Meihua was a little unhappy when she heard the urgent voice on the other end of the line. Her cousin had only given her a thousand yuan. She had seen the world by Lu Feng's side these past two days.
If she had a job, earning a little over three hundred a month, she could pay the money back to him in three months. This amount of money didn't seem to hold much appeal for her.
"It's nothing. I have a job now, I'm a teacher, and I earn more than 300 yuan a month. It's pretty good."
Manager Bai was taken aback by these words and said, "Hey girl, how about I come to see you? Let's meet somewhere and catch up properly, we can talk when we meet."
The two agreed on a place and then hung up the phone.
"How is it?" Ke Bing asked.
“She didn’t deny it. I guess she might have gotten some useful information. Let’s talk about it when we meet. I’ve always known that my sister is all bark and no bite; she’s got a lot on her mind.” Manager Bai said.
"Go quickly. If there's really something in its mouth, the money is negotiable," Ke Bing ordered.

When Lu Feng woke up, the local business world had basically changed. News was pouring in from all directions. Some people wanted to see him, some were concerned about whether something had happened to him last night, some made threatening phone calls, and some even directly asked Lu Feng to give them a number and pay for the ledger.
Inside the restaurant, Lu Feng waved his hand, listening to the chaotic news, and said, "Say something useful."
"There was a rather special phone call. The caller said he was an old friend of yours and wanted to meet you!"
An old friend?
Lu Feng thought for a moment, realizing he didn't have many friends here, and was about to refuse when Ye Wusheng added, "They said, 'Friends from the green train!'"
Green train?
White plum blossoms, old leather jackets, and thick beards—we've already seen all of those people; only the couple remains.
"Where is she?" Lu Feng asked hurriedly.
Ye Wusheng didn't expect Lu Feng to react so strongly. He said, "She didn't say anything, she just said she would call again the day after tomorrow and hoped you could answer the phone. The phone she called was from a phone booth."
"I'll wait for your call the day after tomorrow. If I'm not there when you answer, please wait for me to come back." Lu Feng could sense that things were about to become clearer. Once they found the couple, everything would be much easier.
"So what are we doing today? There's a bidding registration meeting for an industrial park today, should we go?"
"I'm not going!" Lu Feng ate his meal in silence. This kind of bidding did not include Factory No. 1; it was mostly small and medium-sized enterprises that participated. Jiafeng Electronics didn't need to get involved. The most important thing now was to make an example of them.
Let's give Ke Bing, that tiger, a good talking-to!
"Call Ke Bing and tell him I want to go to his big hotel for a stroll and have a good chat with him," Lu Feng instructed.
"Go to the VIP Hotel?" Ye Wusheng asked, quite surprised.
"yes!"
"Mr. Lu, that's a den of dragons and tigers. We almost got into trouble last time. Are we going now?"
"Tigers are felines too, and sometimes petting a cat is a pleasant thing. Go make a call!"
Ye Wusheng called the VIP Hotel to tell them that Lu Feng would be there soon. Ke Bing was terrified when he received the news, wondering what Lu Feng meant by coming at this time.
To relay a message for Ho Ka-lok?
His mind was in turmoil; his previous arrogance had vanished without a trace. Liang Zihui was still in custody, and Manager Bai had gone out to find Bai Meihua.
Without his right and left arms, he didn't know who to talk to for a while, so he could only find the lobby manager and tell her that he was receiving an important guest and that he must not neglect him.
At 10:00 a.m., Lu Feng took a taxi to the entrance of the VIP Hotel. This time, however, Ke Bing was standing at the entrance himself.
Although it was morning and the women were still asleep, they were still woken up, and the lobby was packed with them, the scale of which was somewhat frightening.
"Hello, Mr. Lu!" the people present greeted him in a somewhat chaotic manner.
"Good morning, everyone!" Lu Feng looked at the scene with a meaningful smile and said to Ke Bing, "President Ke, why did you come to greet me personally?"
"It's an honor to have Mr. Lu here, so of course I have to personally greet him!" Ke Bing forced a smile.
"You're giving me too much face. This isn't the Mr. Ke I know. You should have smashed that bottle and held it to my neck!" Lu Feng said with a grin.
"I had a few drinks that day, so please don't take offense at what happened afterward." Ke Bing's smile was a little stiff.
"Don't take offense?" Lu Feng put his arm around his neck and whispered, "I'm a petty person, and I always seek revenge. I told you before that I don't have the ledger, so don't make things difficult for me. I wanted to leave and didn't want to get involved, but you wouldn't let me go. Since you're trying to keep me here, then I'll stay. Are you satisfied with this situation now?"
