Jiang Xiaoyan remained silent for a long time, then sighed deeply and said slowly, "That's true, they say a smile can dispel old grudges and a smile can erase hatred, but how easy is it to get over that hurdle in your heart?"
"So we need to face reality. I know you can't let him go. After all, you two have been through thick and thin together for so many years. Compared to me, you two have a deeper bond of shared joys and sorrows. I don't dare to compare my relationship with yours. I just hope that everyone can have a happy ending."
Zhang Fengxia leaned closer to Su Yourong and continued, "Life is only a few decades long. We are no longer young girls in our twenties. It's so hard to meet someone you like in this life. If I were you, I would think that once you miss out, you really miss out."
"My choice may not be the best, but it will definitely be the one I will regret the least. If one day I can't find what I want in this relationship, I will choose to leave rather than waste my life in entanglement and repetition."
Jiang Xiaoyan turned her head to look at Zhang Fengxia and said, "I wish I could be as carefree as you. I'm always afraid of upsetting others, always hesitant and indecisive. I've tried to struggle, but I failed. I don't care anymore. We all live our lives, so I've accepted my fate!"
Zhang Fengxia sensed that she was in a low mood, so they started talking about other things. They agreed to go shopping together the next day. After she finished dealing with the investment department's matters, she would give herself ten to fifteen days to go out and have a good time, spending money to her heart's content.
As Zhang Fengxia said, it's not our money that's being spent, so let's just have fun and not worry about anything else.
Jiang Xiaoyan's mood improved considerably, and after chatting for a while, the two went to sleep.
The next morning, Lu Feng led Du Guoying's team to Ningbo. On the plane, Du Guoying told Lu Feng about the situation in Ningbo, especially the major suppliers of Bird mobile phones and the attitude of the municipal government.
“President Lu, Ningbo is different from Shenzhen. This company has money!” Du Guoying said to Lu Feng with a sly look on his face. “I heard that Hong Kong capital withdrew from Ningbo last year because Bird wanted to focus on making mobile phones. The local government injected funds, and I have inside information that they are in contact with the French company Sagem.”
"Sagem?" Lu Feng asked, somewhat puzzled. "What does he do?"
"A French telecommunications giant, and a supplier of fighter jet communications, the Ningbo municipal government has connections," Du Guoying whispered.
Lu Feng finally understood why Bird was called the "fighter jet of mobile phones"—it turned out they were collaborating with a French company that made fighter jets.
"Don't laugh so lewdly, making it seem like we're going to rob a rich man. Be serious!" Lu Feng instructed Du Guoying.
While Lu Feng was still on the plane, Mr. Xu from Bird was already on his way to the municipal government. There were rumors at the beginning of this year that Lu Feng was coming back. Mr. Xu and the other founders immediately strengthened the market, deployed all sales terminals, and also strengthened the introduction of technology cooperation.
They originally thought they should just do their best, but they didn't expect Lu Feng to barge into their hometown. If he comes to Ningbo to build a factory, the competition for resources will be particularly fierce.
Bird is just a mobile phone manufacturer, doing communications business. It can't compete with Hurricane in overall R&D. The best way is to stick to its own little corner of the market.
With Lu Feng leading the way and Xiaolingtong following behind, not to mention the fierce competition from foreign capital, the mobile phone market seems to be approaching the same level of intense competition seen in the color TV market a few years ago.
At the municipal reception desk, General Manager Xu looked at Mayor Zhang and said, "Our sales this year are expected to double, and production is at full capacity. The market demand for Bird mobile phones is extremely strong right now, and this year we will focus on service quality, mainly after-sales service..."
Mr. Xu spoke at length about the development of waveguide technology, as if he were there to give a work report.
“President Xu, you should be aware of the current situation across the country. It’s not just about development, but also about ensuring people’s livelihoods and employment. This year has had a good start, but we need to maintain this momentum. Some leaders from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will be visiting next month, so please go back and make preparations.” Mayor Zhang stood up and said, “I have another guest here.”
"It's alright, I'm not busy today. I'll just serve you some tea and hand you a thermos or something," Mr. Xu said hurriedly.
Mayor Zhang declined several times, but the other party remained unmoved, insisting that he was there to serve the people and had many things to say about business development, suggesting they have lunch together.
Mayor Zhang knew exactly what the young man in front of him was thinking. However, he had also heard a little about Lu Feng. To be honest, he didn't really like Lu Feng's unreliable ways. But opportunities for development are fleeting; once you seize them, they're gone forever.
So he decided to meet with him anyway.
At 10 a.m., Lu Feng and his entourage got off the plane and were driven directly to the municipal government. The director of the investment promotion office was in charge of welcoming them at the main gate. After a round of polite greetings, they entered the reception room and waited for a few minutes before Mayor Zhang came out.
"Mr. Lu, is that you? You look so young!" Mayor Zhang said politely, shaking Lu Feng's hand.
"I'm not young anymore, I look much older than I did a few years ago." Lu Feng said with a smile, "I have always longed to visit Ningbo. It has a reputation for being a treasure trove of ancient and modern books and a port that connects the world. Stepping off the plane from the airport, I saw that this ancient city, under your leadership, is thriving and full of vitality!"
"Hahahaha!" Mayor Zhang said with a smile, "President Lu, you are truly exceptional at praising people. I had heard that you were also a master at cursing people, but I have witnessed another side of you today. Please have a seat!"
"The main reason is that Ningbo's development in recent years has attracted nationwide attention, whether it's port business or high-tech industries, especially this year's Bird mobile phones, which are selling well in China." Lu Feng sat down and said, "This time, Hurricane wants to return to the mainland, and Ningbo is one of the important choices. We were in Shenzhen yesterday, and we came here today."
