"Didn't she go bankrupt? How come she still has a company in Hong Kong?" Jiang Xiaoyan seemed somewhat incredulous.
"If you go bankrupt, you can start over. Someone like her can make it anywhere," Lu Feng remarked, recalling Su Yourong's methods.
"The first time I met her, I felt she wasn't a good woman; her demeanor made me very uncomfortable." Jiang Xiaoyan felt humiliated thinking back to that time. She was the lady of the house, yet she was being controlled by this woman's aura.
“Whether it’s good or bad doesn’t matter. Business matters don’t concern us with these things.” Lu Feng leaned back on the sofa and said, “Making money is all that matters. I probably won’t be able to go out for the next two years. Even if I do, I’ll have to use a fake passport.”
Jiang Xiaoyan, somewhat angry, crossed her arms and suddenly stood up, angrily slapping Lu Feng's arm before going upstairs.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?" Lu Feng was completely bewildered by the beating.
Jiang Xiaoyan didn't say anything, but silently went upstairs.
Lu Feng's phone, which was charging, suddenly rang. He answered the call and asked, "Who is it?"
"President Lu, it's me, Lu Feng. The city government just called me and said the inspection will continue tomorrow, but they don't want you to show up. It's best to keep a low profile for now," Liu Cheng said.
“Sure, I don’t really want to get involved anyway.” Lu Feng was happy to stay home and not accompany them.
"There's something else. They cancelled the factory and R&D center setup, and they want us to come up with the key technical points in three days. They need to internally verify whether it really involves patent rights. That's fine, but the key issue is that Team Leader He wants some guidance. They want us to publish a report praising him. He'll also write a semiconductor industry guidance report for the city, which will be published by the city." Liu Cheng inquired, "Is this appropriate?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Feng immediately understood. No wonder he had seen him looking shifty; he hadn't come here with any good intentions, and now that so much trouble had occurred, he couldn't hold it in any longer.
"That's inappropriate! If this report gets published, what do you think our R&D company is? That we can just have anyone give us some guidance and expect new progress? All the money we've invested in hiring engineers is less than what someone else can achieve with a single word? If he wants to look good, why should we be left humiliated?"
Lu Feng was furious. This was absolutely unacceptable. A little thought revealed that this was a transaction of mutual flattery. There were already countless doubts about Jiafeng from the outside world. If this matter were exposed, it would truly confirm that the money spent on the overseas R&D center was all for asset transfer.
Putting all that aside, Jiafeng really won't gain anything from doing this. What else can he gain besides adding a dazzling resume to his resume?
“Let me tell you, we absolutely cannot do this. It’s not that we don’t want to make a deal, but we have to make a profit. No one in their right mind would do this. The city gains a good reputation, He Zheng gains seniority, but what do we gain? Do you believe that if this gets out, people will curse my ancestors for eighteen generations?”
After speaking with Liu Cheng, Lu Feng felt he couldn't quite handle these people, so he continued, "I'll go tomorrow too, I'll speak on their behalf. By the way, when is Zhu Lidong coming back? Is it tomorrow?"
"It seems to be tomorrow!" Liu Cheng replied.
"If he comes back tomorrow, tell General Manager Wei to have General Manager Zhu come to me. That's all for now," Lu Feng instructed before hanging up the phone.
Lu Feng told Zhu Lidong to come back as soon as he finished his work a few days ago. Jiafeng couldn't afford to delay on the lithography machine issue. Once the Wassenaar Arrangement was implemented, it would be extremely difficult to buy second-hand lithography machines from abroad.
This matter must be arranged in advance!
Before 10 p.m., He Zheng took a shower and went to bed. He wasn't worried about tomorrow at all. Jiafeng Group was just a company at most. Besides, given Lu Feng's current situation, what could he do even if he didn't want to?
As far as He Zheng was concerned, he had never really looked at Lu Feng seriously. What was he? An official. What was Lu Feng? A commoner. Moreover, He Zheng was from the capital. That sense of pride had always been there for him!
