Secretary Cui clearly sensed that Huang Youwei's expression was off, but she didn't dare to ask too many questions. She felt a little uneasy, wondering what had happened.
The reception was supposed to last about half an hour, followed by checking into the hotel. Two tables of food were prepared, and a meeting was held in the afternoon to understand the situation. The next day, we will conduct an on-site inspection of the Panda branch factory. The schedule was very tight.
The half-hour reception was abruptly halted in about ten minutes. The group photo was canceled, and even the lunch invitation was withdrawn. Not only Secretary Cui, but everyone present sensed that something was amiss.
As soon as Huang Youwei got out of the airport, several business vehicles were parked there. He had just gotten into his car when he told his driver, "Go down and tell the car in front that you want President Lu to come to my office... to my home."
Zhang Fengxia put her suitcase in the car and told her employees to get in. After getting in the car, she wondered, "Something feels off. They don't seem very enthusiastic."
"Which one of you is President Lu?" A young man in his twenties jogged over.
"What is wrong with me?"
"I am Secretary Huang's driver. After we arrive at the hotel, he will ask you to go to his house."
"Understood," Lu Feng nodded.
Zhang Fengxia stared wide-eyed in disbelief, patting Lu Feng on the shoulder and saying, "You two know each other? I didn't realize you were so well-connected. Now it's much easier, we can just go home for dinner."
Lu Feng raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, saying, "It would have been better if we had never met."
"Have you offended her? How did you two meet? Was it through that Jin Tingting? I saw her there too."
Lu Feng never expected that Jin Tingting would be interning under Huang Youwei. It was a complete coincidence. He had anticipated all sorts of situations and tricky circumstances, but this was something he had never imagined.
The current situation is both tricky and easy to handle!
“I haven’t offended him. When I founded Jiaming Foods, he was the general manager of Yegang Group. Back then, state-owned enterprises had very easy jobs, and he helped me out.”
"We've known each other for a long time, I'll definitely help you this time."
Lu Feng was somewhat skeptical. When he left, he had a drink with him and asked many times where he had been transferred to, but the man refused to say. Later, Lu Feng found out that the man hadn't told anyone. According to a director of a steel group, the man had been promoted and was afraid that you would ask him for favors. These people couldn't help him, so it wasn't worth contacting them again.
When Lu Feng heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable and even cursed him, saying that he was just a businessman.
The past events are still vivid in my mind!
The car had already stopped in front of the hotel, with a black sedan parked next to it. Lu Feng came back to his senses and said, "You guys check in first. I told Xiaoyan I was coming here yesterday, could you call her back for me and let her know I'm safe?"
"Okay, I'll go with you. My grandpa's a good guy..."
“Alright, alright, just a retired cadre.” Lu Feng waved his hand repeatedly.
"Retired cadres have helped you a lot, you ungrateful wretch," Zhang Fengxia muttered as she got off the bus and ignored him.
Lu Feng got out of the car, took a deep breath, and felt very relaxed looking at the blue sky and white clouds. He thought to himself, "Why not go? It's been so long since we last met. Is he going to eat me?"
They got in the car and drove off!
Inside an office compound, Huang Youwei stood at the kitchen door and muttered, "I told Xiao Cui that I only needed you to buy two groceries, why did you have to cook a meal? The more I look at Xiao Cui, the less I like him."
"We're friends, after all. You, a grown woman, are blocking the kitchen doorway and babbling on and on!" Huang Youwei's wife glared at him and said, "Bring the dishes!"
Five hot dishes and three cold dishes, a mix of meat and vegetables, were laid out on the octagonal table, quite a feast. Huang Youwei sat there looking at the food and sighed, muttering, "What I feared has come to pass. I hope this meal will be over before they leave."
Lu Feng walked in, led by his driver, carrying two bottles of Moutai, some fruit, pastries, and the like. He opened the door with a big smile and said, "It's such a joy to see President Huang here. Your wife is still so beautiful, getting younger and younger with age."
“I’m several generations older than you, and you keep calling me ‘sister-in-law.’ Come on over, what do you need?” Huang Youwei’s wife said politely, “Wash your hands and have dinner.”
"Hmph, woman, a few compliments about youth and you're already lost," Huang Youwei sneered, sitting there.
After much polite conversation, Lu Feng finally sat down opposite Huang Youwei and said, "President Huang has changed; his demeanor has changed."
"Don't flatter me, I'm still the same as always. Are you just passing by? When are you leaving?" Huang Youwei said, picking up a piece of food with his chopsticks.
These words stunned not only Lu Feng, but also his wife.
"Didn't you pick him up from the airport? How come he just passed by? Weren't you saying you were working on some kind of project?"
"Ahem!" Huang Youwei felt a little embarrassed and said, "He was just passing by. The thing I was talking about, his surname is Cui!"
Lu Feng realized that this was a way of telling him to leave. He probably forgot how thick-skinned he was, and said with a smile, "Cui Ning is just a middleman. I'm the one who bought the Panda branch factory."
Huang Youwei shook his head: "Not for sale!"
Huang Youwei's wife realized that the two seemed to be at odds, so she quickly said, "We haven't seen each other for so long, let's not talk about this. Come on, let's have a drink."
Lu Feng picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp. Most of the meal was spent talking about the past, wondering what they had been up to since they last met.
It was already past one in the afternoon. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the food had been cleared away. The fruit that Lu Feng had bought was washed and placed on the table. Lu Feng lit a cigarette and said, "Mr. Huang, I haven't offended you, have I?"
"You've already eaten here, what do you think?"
