"She's waiting downstairs."
Lu Feng nodded, somewhat satisfied. Such a naive girl was being ruined by staying here with Manager Bai. Lu Feng was even thinking of finding her a job as a teacher.
Prince Hui escorted Lu Feng downstairs, where Manager Bai was already waiting. Seeing Lu Feng, she greeted him with a big smile and said, "President Lu, thank you for taking care of my sister. She originally wanted to stay here, but she couldn't bear to leave you!"
Bai Meihua blushed deeply at her cousin's words, and stood there with her head down, not daring to look at Lu Feng.
"Whether I'm reluctant to leave or not is not important. Not staying here is a wise move. At least Manager Bai isn't so heartless as to harm his own people." Lu Feng looked at her and said, "If you have any news from President Ke, just call me anytime. That's all, I'm leaving now!"
Everyone saw them off at the door and all the way to the car. Manager Bai pulled Bai Meihua over and shoved her into Lu Feng's back seat, then waved goodbye.
It was already nine o'clock at night, and the night breeze was a bit chilly. Lu Feng looked at Bai Meihua beside him and asked, "What did she say to you?"
"Tell me...tell me to come with you..."
Lu Feng laughed, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and the lighter fell onto the seat. Bai Meihua grabbed it and pressed the lighter. The flame flickered, and she quickly shielded it with her hand.
Seeing her actions, Lu Feng felt a little disappointed. He reached for the lighter, lit a cigarette, and said, "In just a few hours, you've learned to be quite mercenary."
"My cousin..."
“You’re a teacher, this isn’t something you should be learning. Look at that magnificent building, doesn’t it look like a den of demons that devours humanity?” Lu Feng tapped his cigarette ash out the window and said, “I’ll find you a teaching job. I didn’t keep my promise before, but I will this time. Trust me, God won’t bully a kind girl.”
Bai Meihua watched the VIP Hotel disappear into the distance, nodded, and made an "Mmm" sound.
"Does your dad need money urgently for surgery? Why don't we send it back first?" Lu Feng said.
"It's alright, my cousin paid some money for me, that's enough for now." Bai Meihua said, turning her gaze away from the distant VIP Hotel with a hint of reluctance.
"Is she very wealthy in your family, and do all your relatives fawn over her?"
“Yes, she drives a car and is a successful person.” Bai Meihua said with her head down, “She said she works at a restaurant as a manager. My cousin is a very nice person and likes to help people. I think she has no choice in the matter. Besides, she hasn’t done anything bad. She doesn’t do that kind of thing.”
Bai Meihua's words were somewhat incoherent, and she kept making excuses for Manager Bai, mentioning many things, such as lending money to relatives, not wanting more than a thousand yuan, buying gifts for the New Year, and many other small matters.
Lu Feng listened to her talk a lot along the way and said, "No one steps off a cliff in one step, not even a fool. When you feel that something is no longer dangerous, then it really is dangerous. Be a good teacher."
“I know, but… I’d like to stay a few more days, is that okay?” Bai Meihua asked.
“Okay, I can’t leave for a while, but I’ll ask about work for you in a few days.” As Lu Feng spoke, his car had already stopped downstairs at the hotel. He opened the car door and said, “Go back and get some rest.”
Once upstairs, Lu Feng immediately called He Jiale, but no one answered at the office, so the call was transferred to his home.
"Who is it? In the middle of the night!" He Jiale's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I am Lu Feng!"
"Mr. Lu, what's up? Finished taking a shower?" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded teasing.
"I just want to ask, did you hire those two thieves? Did they steal the account books from some big shot's house and frame me? I'm in a situation where I can't clear my name no matter what I do," Lu Feng said grimly.
"The ledger?" He Jiale sat up straight, became serious, and after thinking for a moment, asked, "Have those two people been found?"
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Lu Feng said irritably.
"President Lu, don't be angry. You got upset over a shower. There's no rush. Take your time. What did Ke Bing say to you today?"
"You say you want me to deal with you? I can get my hands on Factory No. 1. If you want to get rid of Ke Bing, why don't you just send people to raid prostitution?" Lu Feng said unhappily, "Your messy affairs have nothing to do with me."
"Follow the vine to find the melon. Ke Bing isn't important. Even if Ke Bing is gone, there's still Ke Jia and Ke Yi. The conditions I'm giving you are so good, there aren't any in the whole country. If this vine of Ke Bing can't be pulled up to take root, I can't give you anything. Someone will try to get involved in the provincial level. Of course, you can also try to stand on the other side, and I will try to get involved in the provincial level too!"
"So...so now I can't leave, and they're forcing me to take sides. What did I do to deserve this? I'm just here to investigate, and I'm fucking...fuck!!!" Lu Feng was so angry that he cursed.
"Who told you to take the old-fashioned green train?" He Jiale was furious.
