Secretary Cui was furious as he listened to the dial tone. He was cursing under his breath. He had originally intended to say something on behalf of Cui Ning to give him a warning.
I never expected to be the one getting a warning.
"Damn it, you want me to pass on a message to you? Just wait!" Secretary Cui said and started busying herself with her own things.
Lu Feng tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. He heard Jiang Xiaoyan open the door, followed by footsteps. He quickly closed his eyes.
The bedroom door opened, and Jiang Xiaoyan peeked in before gently closing the door behind her.
Lu Feng covered his head with the blanket. For the first time in a long time, he had enough time to calm himself down.
Around 11 a.m., Huang Youwei finished his meeting and left. Secretary Cui followed closely behind, giving a brief report on some matters. It was almost the end of the year, and Huang Youwei was due to report to the provincial authorities. Fortunately, he had quite a few impressive achievements to show for himself.
Especially the electronics factory matter; if it's settled by the end of the year, it will definitely be a source of pride.
"Hasn't Lu Feng called yet? It's been days, why isn't he paying any attention?" Huang Youwei muttered.
Secretary Cui stood aside and pondered for a moment. Since he said it would take ten days or so, what harm would it do to delay it for a few more days? He said, "It might be a bit difficult to handle. The cafeteria has already prepared a meal for the meeting."
“Even if it’s not easy, there needs to be some progress. It’s like he’s disappeared. No, I have to call him now.” Huang Youwei was very anxious. The whole province knew that he was almost done with this matter. He went to the province to report on his work in less than a month. How could he just disappear without a trace?
Secretary Cui never dreamed that Huang Youwei would take this matter so seriously. She stood there feeling very awkward, worried that if she made the call, she would be in deep trouble.
"You go to the cafeteria first, I'll go ask again, maybe someone downstairs answered the phone."
Huang Youwei glanced at him, already sensing something, and said, "Report to me in a bit."
Secretary Cui nodded, watched Huang Youwei leave, and breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how unhappy he was, he now understood Lu Feng's position in Huang Youwei's heart; their interests were highly aligned.
He pretended to check it out.
People kept greeting Huang Youwei in the canteen, all with smiling faces, each more humble than the last. Some were even arrogant at first but obsequious later, deliberately making fools of themselves while holding wine glasses to amuse him, which caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Secretary Cui hurried over, bowed her head and said, "I wasn't here when President Lu called. I just asked and he said that everything is ready. Their goods will be delivered to Jiaming Food's warehouses in ten days at most. He asked you to tell Panda that they can start preparing for the special operation."
Huang Youwei put down his wine glass, gave him a cold look, and said, "Secretary Cui, I still hope you can understand your position and do what you should do."
"Yes, yes, it was my dereliction of duty. I'll write a self-criticism!"
"This matter must be handled promptly and decisively. Such corrupt officials must be brought to justice!"
Lu Feng dozed off for an hour or two, listening to the pattering rain outside the window. The heating hadn't been turned on yet, so he pulled the blanket tighter around himself.
Su Yourong spent the entire day making phone calls to various parties. Others were somewhat incredulous at the rapid pace of progress. However, given the combined situation from all sides, Lu Feng had truly reached a point of despair, and surrendering at this moment seemed perfectly appropriate.
These people had made all the necessary preparations long ago. On the day a flight landed, more than twenty people carrying their suitcases checked directly into the Tianyue Hotel.
In the evening, Lu Feng ate dinner at home, told Jiang Xiaoyan he was leaving, and went out.
When they arrived at Su Yourong's room, they found that she was not there. After asking a waiter, they learned that a group of people had come and were having a meeting in the conference room on the sixth floor.
On the conference room table was a map that detailed the location, size, and market share of all of Jiaming Foods' factories in the provinces they covered.
"Although the quota system for color TVs in China has been abolished in recent years, the demand for high-end appliances remains very strong. According to our survey data, there is a market gap of millions of units every year. It has to be said that Jiaming Foods' factories have basically achieved full coverage of the entire northern region."
"I'm still not entirely comfortable with Lu Feng. He's a very scheming person. Could we perhaps buy him out of our own pockets?"
Others felt the same way, since they felt more at ease having the factory under their own control.
Su Yourong shook her head repeatedly, leaning back in her chair and saying, "I know you're worried, but times have changed. He can't escape my grasp now."
"Oh? Mr. Su is being direct!"
Everyone present looked at Su Yourong with great interest.
"There's nothing I can do. Men are all superficial. They easily fall for beauty and can't extricate themselves. Originally, he was concerned about his family, but now that his family is broken, I'm all that's left in his world."
"President Su, this man is cunning and despicable, that's what many people say about him. What if this is a trap for you?"
She had considered this outcome, but could he have orchestrated this whole thing years ago, implying the child wasn't his? It was just fate.
Although everyone had some doubts, they were very happy that the cooperation was reached so quickly, and handed the prepared contract to Su Yourong for her to sign.
A dozen minutes later, Su Yourong came downstairs and smiled when she saw Lu Feng, asking, "How's everything at the factory?"
"The notice has been sent out, and the space will be available in a few days. You should move in as soon as possible." Lu Feng stepped forward and asked nervously, "We need to get the payment as soon as the goods are in. They're urging us hard. If we miss this opportunity, we won't get another chance. Patent authorization is a valuable asset."
