Lu Feng was just surprised. Logically speaking, it was impossible for someone like Liu Guodong to personally come to make an arrest of this scale. Even if he was being presumptuous, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to come if Liu Guodong was after him!
Now everything makes sense; they were actually trying to poach Huang Youwei's employees.
"You and Mr. Huang are classmates, right?"
"You call him General Manager Huang?" Liu Guodong asked in surprise.
“When I first met him, he was the general manager of a state-owned enterprise, so I was used to calling him that,” Lu Feng explained.
“We were high school classmates. You know, there are a lot of people in a high school class. Old Huang and I weren’t that close. We were just roommates. After the college entrance exam was reinstated, he got into a teachers’ college. I was already working in the power supply system at the time, so I didn’t take the exam. Otherwise, what would have become of him?” Liu Guodong said with a hint of regret, “You agree, right?”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Lu Feng nodded repeatedly. He really didn't expect that Huang Youwei, who was already over thirty years old at the time, had actually passed the college entrance examination more than ten years ago when it was first reinstated.
None of the people who made it to the top were simpletons.
"I've said everything I needed to say, what do you mean?"
Lu Feng was somewhat embarrassed by the questioning, and smiled, saying, "I haven't established myself yet."
“You’ve already established yourself. For such a large private enterprise to survive in a high-barrier industry like electronics, you’ve truly established yourself. When I talked to Lao Huang about this on the phone, I estimated the timeframe for you to get through the year after the New Year!”
How will things be after the New Year?
"Dead!" Liu Guodong said decisively.
"It's not that bad; the business environment in China is still quite good!"
“I know the current business environment better than you do. Nine out of ten businessmen are swindlers, and the remaining one is a big swindler. The fact that you’ve managed to thrive means you’re the biggest swindler among big swindlers.” Liu Guodong lit a cigarette and said into the night wind, “I’m curious where your start-up capital came from.”
"This is a trade secret!" Lu Feng said with a wry smile.
“During the Spring Festival, I led a delegation to Suzhou for an inspection. I had a drink with Lao Huang, and I assured him that if he lacked funds, he would definitely need to get start-up capital from the local financial industry or policy subsidies. He said that Lao Huang was very experienced in this area.” Liu Guodong took a puff of his cigarette and remained silent for a long time before saying, “Lao Huang said at the time that if you dared to lay a hand on him, he would smash your head in!”
"Huh?" Lu Feng didn't expect the usually mild-mannered Huang Youwei to say such a thing.
"It was just drunken talk, but you could tell he wasn't willing to take too much risk with you, so I said back then that you'd definitely be out of luck after the New Year." Liu Guodong stood there smoking, looking at the moon and muttering, "I haven't heard of anyone getting scammed in any city lately!"
Lu Feng was speechless. Huang Youwei had told him too much that he didn't have a good image in Liu Guodong's mind. He guessed that Huang Youwei had told him to be careful of that kid because he was very dirty.
"Just tell me, are you coming or not? If you come, I'll give you tax-free land, I'll even let you scam me, I'll give you interest-free loans!" Liu Guodong turned around and asked, "How about it?"
"I will definitely consider it seriously. Don't worry, Xiaoshan is a good place. Once the company has a foothold and market sales have increased, we will definitely set up a branch factory!" Lu Feng said earnestly.
"I know that pressing you now won't get us anywhere. It's getting late, so you should go home and get some rest. I was thinking of inviting you to dinner so that the people from the investment promotion office could meet with you, but with so many people arrested, they probably won't have time for a while."
"I'll treat you to a meal. We'll have plenty of opportunities. Whenever you're free, I'm available," Lu Feng said politely.
"Alright, let's not talk like this again on other days." Liu Guodong said as he slowly walked to the front of the yard. Hu Yaoqing and his group had all been driven away, and their cars had all been seized. The yard was sealed off, and a police car was parked not far away, its lights gleaming.
"Let's go back. I'm afraid Huang Youwei will get anxious and worry that I'll kidnap his precious baby."
"Hahaha, it's not that serious!" Lu Feng was amused by him and said, "Then you should get some rest too. I'll head back now."
Liu Guodong waved his hand and said nothing.
Lu Feng turned around and saw He Xiaohui standing there. He waved to her and said, "You're going back now. Your mission is over, right?"
He Xiaohui nodded, watching Lu Feng get into the car and drive away. She felt a little lost, an indescribable feeling. After thinking for a while, she smiled. She and he were from two different worlds. Most people in this world were just passersby.
Liu Guodong sighed and muttered to himself that Huang Youwei had always been luckier than him when they were in school, and it was still the same in middle age. When would he ever meet such a capable and valiant pawn?
It was almost 1 a.m. when Lu Feng returned to the hotel. When he opened the door, he found someone sitting in his room. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Li Na.
"Why are you in my room?" Lu Feng asked, puzzled. "Why aren't you asleep so late?"
“Those people all suddenly left, saying they received a call and the protection was ending tonight.” Li Na stood up somewhat flustered and said, “Won’t something happen tonight? How did your talk with Hu Yaoqing go?”
Seeing her like a frightened little bird, Lu Feng sighed, sat down to change his slippers, and inwardly felt sorry for her. He said, "Don't be afraid, sit down. Hu Yaoqing and his gang have been arrested. That's why they were taken away."
"Arrested?"
Lu Feng nodded and said, "Don't worry, he won't be out anytime soon. He might be executed for a serious crime. He'll take over the factory tomorrow."
