Lu Feng felt a sting from the slap. He put down his chopsticks, glared at him, and said, "Mr. Ma, I didn't block your path to wealth, did I?"
"No, but I think some things are useless to you, so give them to me!"
"Do you want the ledger?" Lu Feng asked.
Ma Quantao nodded.
"It's not with me, but I'm looking for it too!"
"You can't fool a three-year-old with that kind of talk!"
"If you don't believe me, then I have no choice." Lu Feng didn't look at him again.
“How about this, Mr. Lu, you’re opening a factory here, how about I take a stake?” Ma Quantao lit a cigarette, turned to the side, rolled up his sleeves, and put one hand on the back of the chair, saying, “I know you don’t have much money, I’ll help you out. I don’t need much, just 30% of the shares.”
Thirty percent?
"That's really outrageous," Lu Feng shook his head and said, "Mr. Ma is treating me like an easy target. If outside companies are blocking your path to wealth, go find them. I'm not blocking you."
"I'm just treating you like a pushover, what can you do about it?" Ma Quantao's face darkened, and he instantly became fierce. He said in a deep voice, "Let me tell you, I'm not Ke Bing. He's a bit dim-witted, always worrying about this and that. If you're unhappy, don't blame me for making things difficult for you."
Lu Feng remained silent upon hearing this, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense. Many people looked over with forced smiles, determined to show him what a local bully was tonight.
Bai Meihua was startled by the sudden change in the atmosphere and sat there motionless, letting out a burp.
"I'm going to the restroom," Lu Feng said, standing up.
Ye Wusheng also stood up, and the two walked towards the door. Ma Quantao waved to the two people at the next table, and the two followed him out.
When they got to the bathroom, Lu Feng, while using the toilet, said in a low voice, "Go call He Jiale in a bit."
Ye Wusheng quietly made an OK sign.
Lu Feng returned to the dinner party alone. Bai Meihua only felt relieved when she saw him return. As a girl from a village, she had never experienced such a situation before. She was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
Lu Feng sat down, picked up his wine glass and said, "I'm new to your esteemed place, please forgive me if I've offended you in any way. I'll drink it all."
The people present smiled when they saw Lu Feng back down. No matter who you are, in this place, the local bully always calls the shots.
Lu Feng said a few conciliatory words, and Ma Quantao's expression softened considerably. He beckoned to the person next to him, picked up a prepared contract, placed it on the table, and said, "President Lu, tonight, you have to give me either the ledger or 30% of the equity. You said you don't have the ledger, so let's sign this contract!"
Lu Feng picked up the contract to take a look, but the other party placed one hand on it.
"Mr. Ma, what do you mean by this?"
"Just sign here, don't look around. I said thirty percent, and that's thirty percent. Don't you believe me?" Mr. Ma revealed a hint of displeasure.
"That's not the case. It's just that I didn't bring the company seal with me today. My signature as the chairman isn't enough to make it valid!"
"Just sign it, and I'll have you stamp it another day. Bring me the pen."
A fountain pen was placed in front of Lu Feng. He picked it up and signed his name on it. The people present laughed, their expressions mostly sarcastic.
The contract was formal, in duplicate. Ma Quantao signed his name, stamped it, and handed one copy to Lu Feng, saying, "Tomorrow, it'll still be here. I'll treat Mr. Lu to dinner. I hope to see the accounts tomorrow. Otherwise, don't blame me for neglecting you."
"good!!!"
"It's getting late, so I won't stay any longer. Please make yourself at home."
Lu Feng stood up, took the contract, clasped his hands in a fist salute to everyone, and said, "Gentlemen, we shall meet again someday!"
Lu Feng's words were full of resentment. After he left with Bai Meihua, someone said, "This kid is not convinced. It seems he doesn't know how powerful he is until he gets serious."
"We'll meet again someday? Humph!"
"Let's not meet again, we can't wait that long!" Ma Quantao asked the people at the next table, "Is everything ready?"
"Liu Mazi is quick and agile; he can't find us, he's already waiting."
Go!
Ma Quantao leaned back in his chair with a beaming smile, picked up the small wine glass on the table and downed it in one gulp. He said happily, "Ke Bing, in the end, is just a womanizer. He's always so hesitant and indecisive. Why think so much? Just do it!"
