Lu Feng stopped halfway, turned around and glanced around but didn't see anyone, then turned back and continued walking towards the door.
"President Lu, why are you still leaving? Are you being disrespectful to me?"
The audience burst into laughter.
A male waiter jogged over and blocked Lu Feng's path, saying, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Hou requests your presence. He apologizes for the neglect today."
"Excuse me?" Lu Feng chuckled sinisterly. Although he was very unhappy, he knew that he should try his best to keep Jiaming Foods here. He turned around and walked away.
Four genuine leather sofas were arranged in a semi-circle. In the center seat sat a man in his forties whom Lu Feng did not recognize. However, he recognized the man next to him, who was none other than General Manager Liu of Lenovo. Next to General Manager Liu sat another man who looked to be in his thirties, whom Lu Feng also recognized. His name was Zhu Lidong, and he was currently the General Manager of Lenovo.
Beside him were several elderly men in their fifties and sixties, who appeared to be branch managers of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, as well as a few foreigners. This group of people could be considered the most important figures at the scene.
"Let's get this straight, no swearing!" the crew-cut man said with a slight smile. "You can't out-swear me!"
"Is that so? It seems that President Hou is also a person without manners. I have indeed felt that your way of treating guests is quite rude." Lu Feng said, looking at him.
"Hahaha, I haven't been ridiculed like this to my face in years. A small town factory that rose from a remote county has gotten to where it is today entirely by taking advantage of the government." General Manager Hou looked at Lu Feng and lit a cigarette and said, "Look at those people who are about your age. You should feel honored tonight. Many of them are graduates of Tsinghua University, Peking University, and other top international universities."
"I feel honored?" Lu Feng reached for the microphone on the table and said, "President Hou said I should feel honored to be with you all tonight. I want to tell you, please remember tonight, because in the near future, it will be your honor to think back on this night with me."
As soon as he said this, Lu Feng could hear people cursing not far away. These people already looked down on Lu Feng, and even looked down on Jiaming Foods, a company that rose from a small place.
"As expected of a young person, quite arrogant!"
"It's not that you're arrogant. You haven't introduced yourself yet. What do you do?" Lu Feng asked.
"You don't know me?" Mr. Hou laughed in surprise. "You're in the electronics industry and you don't recognize me?"
"Can't I not know you?"
"Chairman of Huaqi Electronics!"
Lu Feng immediately understood: President Liu represented the successful Lenovo, while this man represented the failed Lenovo. Now, Huaqi Electronics was quite well-known, so it was understandable that he organized the gathering.
"President Lu, everyone's been talking about you these past few days. Science and Technology Daily even gave you the title of an industry disruptor. I just wanted to ask you about the future development of the electronics industry. I hope you won't hold back your knowledge; I'm very eager to learn from you," President Hou said with a smile.
Some of the people around laughed, thinking they were making a fool of Lu Feng.
If an industry leader tells you they humbly want to learn from you, they're just playing you.
Gao Zhiwei and Du Qifeng stood there with grim expressions, whispering behind Lu Feng, "Mr. Lu, let's go!"
Lu Feng ignored the two men. Looking at them, he realized they really thought they were someone important if he didn't show them his skills. He said, "Since you've asked so sincerely, I won't refuse you. The electronics industry is vast, encompassing everything from circuit boards to transistors and cathode ray tubes. Today, I'll teach you about the home appliance sector."
President Hou originally intended to tease the fool, but Lu Feng seized the opportunity and took advantage of it. There were even quite a few people cheering and applauding, resulting in a wave of applause. Regardless of whether there was booing or what, the scene was now revolving around Lu Feng, and the initiative was in Lu Feng's hands.
If winning is about immersing oneself in the atmosphere and striking up conversations with the people present, then Lu Feng has already won.
Zhu Lidong tilted his head slightly and whispered to President Liu, "This young man is no ordinary person!"
"A phoenix can emerge from a remote place. Do you think it's an ordinary person?"
