Chapter 1021 The Banquet



Li Xiao wanted to refute him, but found that she couldn't refute his logic at all. Her eyes reddened with anger. She took a deep breath and decided not to say anything. She said in a deep voice, "I don't care about your words. Anyway, what's done is done. I have two conditions. First, I want the position of deputy general manager of the branch company with a high salary. Second, I want to become a citizen of a developed EU country."

"It seems that's what you came here for. You didn't make it clear beforehand. There's a saying that you should be upfront about the unpleasant aspects, but you didn't say anything. I'm sorry, I can't meet either of these conditions." Lu Feng looked at her and said, "If you feel you can't continue working at the company, I suggest you resign!"

Resignation?

Li Xiaosi felt like her head was about to explode. In a foreign country, what could she do after quitting her job?

Thinking of this, she felt extremely wronged, standing motionless at the door, sobbing helplessly.

As a woman who wanted to make money off men, Li Xiaosi disappointed Lu Feng. Based on her current methods, she was far inferior to someone like Su Yourong. No man wants to talk about money with a woman, but perhaps she could achieve her goals more easily by changing her approach.

He had intended to go back inside to rest, but seeing her standing at the door crying, Lu Feng felt a little soft-hearted. It's not easy being in a foreign land.

"Alright, stop crying. I understand you want to stay here, but you need to demonstrate your abilities and be more dedicated to your work, instead of being so careless. Don't you know what others in the company think of you?" Lu Feng said to her, "In a while, you can be responsible for assisting in the coordination of some events and some planning within the management team. You need to participate more. I don't know about vice president or not, but as long as you achieve results, I believe you will definitely have a good outcome."

Li Xiaosi didn't want to hear such words, so she turned around, went back into the house, and closed the door behind her.

She sat on the bed, staring blankly. She had to work hard herself? If she could work hard, why bother with all this?

At nine o'clock in the evening, Lu Feng couldn't sleep. He sat on the sofa smoking and pondered the recent developments in the overall situation. Although there were some breakthroughs in key technologies, the overall outlook was still not optimistic.

April was fast approaching, and half a year had passed without any substantial progress. This put Lu Feng under some pressure. He took a deep drag on his cigarette, stubbed it out in the ashtray, and went back to his room to sleep.

The next day, Li Xiaosi didn't come to work in the morning. Rumors were already circulating in the company, but it was just talk in private. On the surface, everyone acted as usual.

Li Xiaosi didn't arrive at the company until the afternoon, and sat in her seat without saying a word.

In the morning, a local clerk knocked on the door and came in, holding an invitation in her hand. She smiled when she saw Lu Feng, and her attire seemed a bit different today. She was wearing high heels, a short dress, and the neckline was slightly pulled down.

"Mr. Lu, this is an invitation from the Schroder Group. There will be a banquet tonight!" The clerk said, bowing slightly as she placed the invitation on the table.

Lu Feng noticed that she was wearing makeup today. He glanced at her, said "okay," and let her leave. He understood that some gossipy people were busy eating melons, while some restless people had already started to make moves.

Lu Feng didn't see this as a good sign and thought about having a meeting to discuss it. But then he realized he didn't even know if the company would still exist next year, so he decided to ignore it.

He glanced at the location and time of the dinner, casually put the invitation aside, and picked up the phone to call George.

I first called the office phone but no one answered, then I called his personal phone. It took a while before he answered, and George's groggy voice came through the other end. He was clearly still asleep at this hour.

"Who is it?" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded very annoyed.

"It's me, Lu Feng from Jiafeng. I may have bothered you. The matter I discussed with you last night is causing a major argument among the management, and the headquarters also needs to discuss it. Could you give me a few days?" Lu Feng said in a low voice into the phone, "After all, the profit-sharing ratio is a bit low, and we need to discuss it with them."

"Then hurry up and discuss it, don't fucking disturb my sleep!" George cursed twice, casually tossed his phone aside, turned around and continued to sleep.

Hearing that the other end didn't seem to care much about the matter, Lu Feng hung up the phone, a smile appearing on his face, and began to attend to his work.

Last night, Sean compiled some relevant information. After analyzing it for a long time, he decided to introduce Beko's market situation and some leaders in charge of the region to Lu Feng.

These things are useful in some ways, but it's hard to say how much they can actually help. London alone has twenty-two boroughs, and knowing a few borough market inspectors is better than nothing for Jiafeng's current situation.

Of course, if Lu Feng shows enough sincerity today, he can offer even more tomorrow.

Around noon, Sean's car stopped downstairs. The driver got out and opened the car door, and Sean got out and walked upstairs.

Inside the company cafeteria, Sean sat opposite Lu Feng, a glass of red wine in his hand. Lu Feng looked at Sean and said, "I have a feeling there will be good news today. I believe you won't let me down."

“President Lu is practically family to me now, so I’m definitely going to give it my all. I didn’t sleep well last night because of this, and I was busy until this morning,” Sean said casually.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Lu Feng quickly comforted him, "We've been relying on you during the most difficult times!"

"Anyway, Kevin and I have known each other for a long time." Sean said, seeing that Lu Feng didn't respond.
