"Just observe this matter and don't get too involved. It's easy to offend people if you don't handle it well. If Lu Feng gets the money this time, there's no need for him to confront us in the market. If we continue, it will only result in mutual destruction. Let's adjourn the meeting."
Those present looked at each other, not understanding what President Zong meant. They tidied up their documents and got up to go about their own business.
Inside the hotel, Zhang Fengxia had just hung up the phone when Jiang Xiaoyan asked her for help. She said she would pay any amount of money, even if Lu Feng refused, as long as everyone returned safely.
Hearing Jiang Xiaoyan's pleading on the phone and Duo Duo's sobs, it was impossible not to feel sorry for her. After all, she had gone shopping with Jiang Xiaoyan a few times and had to admit that Jiang Xiaoyan was a very easy woman to get along with.
Zhang Fengxia was somewhat conflicted. She stayed only to learn something, as both Lu Feng and Gao Zhiwei had much to teach her about business management.
Now that such a big thing has happened, is it necessary for her to call her grandfather?
The clock on the wall ticked away; it was already 8:30 p.m. Zhang Fengxia picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"Hey, Grandpa, what are you doing?"
"I'll wait for your call. I just saw the news that the owner of Jiaming Foods was arrested, right? Although they denied it and said he was fine, I knew something was wrong as soon as you called."
“You really know everything. I just wanted to ask if this is a big deal. His wife called just now, and I felt a little guilty.”
"This matter is neither a big deal nor a small one. Let's wait for news. It's no use who comes; they're waiting for news too."

In just one afternoon, Lu Feng became familiar with the people in the room. The four tattooed men, nicknamed Tiger and Dragon, were all from the underworld and had been arrested for helping others in a fight.
There was another one called Mouse, a shifty-eyed thief. The remaining five were thieves who stole and robbed in the village. All of them are awaiting court judgment. Only Lu Feng and the short guy are temporarily detained and have not yet been formally arrested.
After dinner, Haozi and his gang gave Tiger and his friends massages. Lu Feng sat on the ground and looked at the guy, asking, "Why did you get in here?"
"Me? I deal in TVs. They say I'm a speculator, but I don't sell them for much, just the same price as the market price." The guy said, sounding a little aggrieved.
What's your surname?
"My name is Cui Ning, and yours is Cui Ning?"
"My name is Lu Feng. Do you manufacture televisions?" Lu Feng asked curiously, "What's your profit margin?"
Cui Ning smiled awkwardly, glanced around, and whispered, "The parts were all smuggled in. I assembled them myself. It was just a small business, selling them to the mainland at a slightly higher price. I didn't expect to get caught."
Lu Feng nodded. The rampant smuggling these days is truly astonishing.
"What do you do?" Cui Ning sized up Lu Feng, noticing that he was young but had a lot of airs, and didn't seem like an ordinary person.
"I own a factory called Jiaming Foods."
"Jiamei Foods?" Cui Ning was shocked. He had heard the name Jiamei Foods quite a bit lately, and the stories about its boss were legendary. He never expected that the boss was so young.
"What's wrong?"
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I really didn't expect the owner of Jiaming Foods to be so young." Cui Ning said excitedly, holding Lu Feng's hand. "I've heard many big bosses say that they don't know if their companies will develop, but the owner of this company is definitely a remarkable person."
"You flatter me. You can leave your contact information after we leave. I'm quite interested in television."
“That’s great. I’m very professional in circuit boards and integrated displays. What I’m short of right now is money. Meeting Mr. Lu makes this prison sentence worthwhile.”
"Those two!"
"Damn it, I'm talking to you two, what are you whispering about?" Haozi stood up and pointed at Lu Feng and the other man, saying, "Get over here, you two! Damn it, you're just hiding there enjoying your leisure. Brother Long, they're being very disrespectful to you!"
Tiger turned around with a gloomy look in his eyes, his face full of displeasure. The man next to him shouted, "You're both done for! Brother Long is very angry, and the consequences will be severe."
