"No need to drag it out for years, just one month will do!" Hu Yaoqing picked up a lighter from the table, and the man next to him hurriedly handed him a cigarette.
With a headache, Hu Yaoqing sighed and said, "Let's just drag it out for a month!"
A month?
"What are we after? We won't make much money even if we occupy the factory for a month!"
"It's not about the money." Hu Yaoqing became more and more annoyed. He had initially gotten in touch with Jiao Enfan, hoping to expand his business, but now that Jiao Enfan was gone, he was left with a mess.
A waiter came over and said, "Mr. Hu, we have your phone number."
"Who is it? Why are you calling in the middle of the night?"
"The other party said he was General Manager Li of Haochen Copper Industry."
"President Li?" Hu Yaoqing hurriedly stood up, as if he had instantly sobered up. He walked quickly outside, answered the phone with a smile, and said, "President Li, why aren't you asleep so late? Do you have any instructions?"
"I'm about to go to sleep, but I can't fall asleep in bed. I'll take care of your matter. How's it going?" Mr. Li's voice sounded slightly tired on the other end of the phone.
"The situation is under control, but the criminal investigation team here has assigned people to protect him!"
Mr. Li on the other end of the phone fell silent. Lu Feng was alone in another city and had no connections there. He couldn't do these things himself; he could only say that Huang Youwei had put in a good word for him.
Thinking of this, Mr. Li's expression darkened further. A fair-skinned and beautiful young woman was sleeping beside him, snuggling up to him and saying coquettishly, "Mr. Li, I..."
Get lost!
"Huh?" Hu Yaoqing asked somewhat flusteredly, "President Li, what did I do wrong?"
"I wasn't talking about you. Just try to stall for time. Call me immediately if anything happens. Remember one thing: absolutely do not let Lu Feng get the crucial evidence. In this situation, once Lu Feng is in court, everything is over." President Li said in a deep voice, "Understand?"
"I know. If all else fails, I'll pay someone to do it for him?"
"You can try, but it has nothing to do with me!" Mr. Li leaned against the headboard and said to the girl beside him, "You, lie down!"
The girl got up, her eyes alluring, and half-reclined in the middle of the bed.
"Lie down?" Hu Yaoqing was a little confused, but he still squatted down.
"I won't talk to you, that's it. I'm telling you, if you can just stall for a month and prevent Lu Feng from taking over Tianying Copper Industry, I'll give you half of my company's output for all kinds of transportation and preliminary processing at the mine."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Li. I am absolutely loyal to you. To be honest, hearing your voice feels as warm and familiar as hearing my own father's..."
He was only halfway through flattering her when the call ended.
Hu Yaoqing then stood up, put the phone on the table, and thought to himself, "Even when rich people make a phone call, they have so many strange quirks?"
Back at the table, Mr. Hu had lost his appetite for drinking. He looked at San'er and said, "Keep a close eye on him. No matter what method you use, delay him for a month. You can't let him get the evidence."
"What evidence?"
"What evidence do you have to prove that we illegally occupied the factory?"
"The original loan agreement, I suppose."
"But the contract is with you, so doesn't that mean we're already in an invincible position?"
Hu Yaoqing doesn't understand the law. The transportation team and the mining processing industry rely on brute force. To put it bluntly, these people have gotten to where they are today by relying on their physical strength. They don't even know the rules for adjudicating evidence in court, let alone the two words "law".
"It's only a month anyway, let's just drag it out!"
It was already late at night, but Hu Yaoqing was in a good mood. He went downstairs, drove home, and said that at the beginning of the year, he had a blind fortune teller tell his fortune. The blind fortune teller said that he would have great luck this year.
I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that the calculation was really accurate.
Hu Yaoqing had only scratched the surface of the problem; little did he know that, as the saying goes, when gods fight, the little devils die first.
For the next two or three days, Lu Feng's daily task was to accompany Ma Jiao to play everywhere, spending money like water. He would do anything as long as she was happy, much like King You of Zhou's doting on Daji.
Tomorrow is Monday. Around 9 p.m., Lu Feng dropped Ma Jiao off at the entrance of the residential area and said to her, "Get some rest. You have to go to school tomorrow."
"Are you going to play with me tomorrow?" Ma Jiao asked nervously.
“I want to play with you too, but I…” Lu Feng sighed, feigning difficulty, and said, “Never mind! It’s my own business, I won’t tell you.”
“Say it, as long as I can help you.” Ma Jiao said with burning eyes, “I’m willing to do anything. You’ve been the best person to me all my life. I’ll go through fire and water for you, as long as you ask.”
