After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Lu Feng almost didn't recognize him and went up to exchange a few polite words.
"What are you doing here?" Tingting asked, her face full of curiosity. "And you look so confused, like you've been abandoned here. What are you doing in Hangzhou?"
"I came here on a business trip and booked a hotel, but the tuk-tuk driver took a detour and left me here unattended," Lu Feng said helplessly.
"So even President Lu can be fooled?" Tingting's words were somewhat teasing.
"What are you doing here?" Lu Feng was still a little curious about running into her.
"I study here. You're near Zhejiang University now, you must be completely lost, right?" Tingting laughed and said, "A boss as big as you, you don't even bring any people with you when you go out?"
"I'm not some big boss, I don't need to put on a show." Lu Feng didn't have a deep memory of Tingting, and he rambled on while his mind raced back to her.
"Now Jiaming Foods is famous throughout the country."
"It's no use. I'm here to resolve the lawsuit, specifically with Wahaha. You should know I don't have any connections. Why don't you talk to your dad about it?" Lu Feng said with a hint of joking.
“My dad is very busy. What kind of hotel are you looking for? I’ll help you find one. The tuk-tuks around here are all rip-offs if you’re not someone you know well. Sometimes even we students get ripped off.”
"Hilton Hotel!" Lu Feng took out the receipt, looked at the address, and said, "I just asked a driver, and he said it's a half-hour walk."
Tingting rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless, and said, "Follow my hand, that building in the distance is it, a five-minute walk away."
Lu Feng looked at the building not far away and was speechless. He smiled wryly and said, "I'm still too naive."
“Indeed, I can tell too. You should get out more.” Tingting tightened her grip on her small backpack and said, “I’ll take you there. I’m afraid you’ll get lost on this short distance. We’re practically from the same hometown, so we’re not exactly strangers.”
Lu Feng nodded in agreement. They chatted a lot along the way. Tingting's full name was Jin Tingting. She was a junior in college this year. Summer vacation was coming soon, and she would be a senior when school started again. As for who her father was, he didn't say anything after trying to find out, but Lu Feng knew that there were only two people with the surname Jin in the province, and the one with the surname Jin was the eldest.
Given Jiaming Foods' current size, the resources it can mobilize are limited to the city and province levels, but getting important figures to speak on its behalf is still too difficult.
Tingting is a good starting point, after all, Jiaming Foods is a local company.
When he arrived, Lu Feng was still thinking about what he would do if Wahaha didn't back down. He planned to suffer a small loss to resolve the matter. It wasn't shameful to suffer a loss at Wahaha's hands. Besides, Lu Feng had already won too much.
However, he no longer wants to suffer this small loss.
The weather in the south was hot and humid. It was midday, and several doormen were standing at the entrance of the grand hotel. Lu Feng, carrying his suitcase, said, "Thank you so much. Have you eaten? Come up and have something to eat with me."
"I've already eaten."
"Let's go upstairs for a drink of water and some ice cream. We haven't seen each other since that party. Actually, I have a pretty good feeling about you. I like pretty girls."
Tingting laughed and said, "You're finally free now that you're in another city. Aren't you afraid your wife will beat you up?"
"Beauty is something to be appreciated. Come on, let's go upstairs." Lu Feng flattered her all the way, making Tingting giggle.
Jin Tingting grew up in a family unlike that of ordinary people, so her guard was naturally different. However, when facing Lu Feng, she always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, feeling that he was unpretentious and spoke in a very down-to-earth manner.
The waiter escorted Lu Feng to his room. After wiping his sweat, he headed towards the living room, which was decorated in a luxurious style, giving off a sense of stability and solidity. There were square sofas, a very stylish glass table, and backlighting throughout, which added to the sophisticated feel.
An ice cream, a fruit salad, and two desserts were already laid out in front of Jin Tingting. Lu Feng walked over and said, "Are you not hot anymore? I would feel so bad if you got heatstroke after walking such a long way with me."
"This is the most expensive hotel around the school. This is my first time here. I've heard people say how luxurious it is, and it's definitely worth it. How much did you pay for your room?"
"It seems to be around four or five hundred a day?"
"So expensive?"
"Even five-star hotels are this price, and I booked a suite." Lu Feng did the math in his head. Thirty years from now, a five-star suite would cost more than three thousand a night, which is about the monthly salary of an average person. The current price is about the same.
"You must be rich. No wonder so many people go into business; it really makes money."
"Making money can be incredibly easy or incredibly difficult. Don't you have class today?" Lu Feng asked.
"Yes, there is a long lecture at 3 PM."
“I’ve been pretty bored these past few days and was thinking of taking a stroll, but since I’ve run into you, I’ll pay for it and you can provide the people. We’ll eat, drink, and have some fun together.”
"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"There's nothing wrong with that. You can be the tour guide, go to West Lake or something, it's like temporarily organizing a tour group, you can be the group leader, and as for the service fee, we'll waive it."
"I'll think about it. I have class this afternoon, so I'll head back now." Tingting finished her ice cream, stood up, and said goodbye.
"Let's have dinner together tonight, as a welcome back party."
This was the first time Jin Tingting had ever heard of someone hosting a welcome dinner for her. She figured that a CEO as big as Lu Feng must be shy, so she would just say a few polite words and be done with it.
"How can I let President Lu treat us? I'll treat you to a meal to welcome you back. We're from the same hometown, after all."
