Lu Feng sighed, nodded, and deeply agreed.
"Don't be angry anymore. At least you see things clearly now. Live a good life and stop stealing." Lu Feng took the bag and placed it in front of her, saying, "It's better to separate. Everyone has their own path."
The aunt opened her bag, glanced at the money, flipped it over to make sure it was okay, then pulled out a diary from her bosom and handed it to Lu Feng, saying, "Let bygones be bygones!"
Lu Feng took out the ledger, glanced at it, confirmed there were no problems, and then put it in his pocket.
"It feels so much better to say it out loud. I was almost at my wit's end these past few days. I'm a woman, and my man is my everything. I've lived like this for over twenty years. And then suddenly one day, my man is sheltering me from the storm for another woman. It's a terrible feeling. Thank you, Mr. Lu." The aunt smiled at Lu Feng.
Lu Feng patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be too sad. Live well. People on the train have it tough. Many people have their money stolen and get off the train penniless in a foreign land. Their experience is not much better than yours."
"I know, I'm leaving now!" The aunt stood up and patted the weeds off her clothes.
"Goodbye!" Lu Feng waved to her.
After leaving the park, Lu Feng hailed a Benben car and headed towards the hotel. Upon arriving at the hotel, he immediately called He Jiale.
"Hey, Mr. Lu, any new developments?" He Jiale asked.
“I got the real ledger, and Ke Bing already knows I’m bluffing him. He called me and said he’s going to deal with me. Judging from his tone, even if he doesn’t kill me tonight, he plans to keep me in the ICU, unable to speak,” Lu Feng said with a gloomy expression.
He Jiale on the other end of the phone suddenly stood up, excitedly asking, "You got the ledger? Where did you get it from?"
"It's a long story!" Lu Feng said. "I need to be protected now."
"Don't worry, I'll personally lead the team over there right now." He Jiale said a few more words before hanging up the phone, his face beaming with excitement.
"Did he find the ledger?" the secretary asked, puzzled.
“Found it. The timing of this ledger’s appearance is very strange. It disappeared inexplicably before. When Ke Bing discovered that he was cheating and wanted to kill him, the ledger immediately appeared.” He Jiale said with a suspicious look.
"This Mr. Lu is no ordinary person," the secretary said suspiciously.
It's understandable that the two people were suspicious; the timing of the appearance was too coincidental, making it hard not to think.
“Simple is not enough to get to this position at such a young age. He kept telling me to make sure the funding was in place, and he kept saying he wanted to leave. Dealing with this kind of person is exhausting. Let’s resolve this first.” He Jiale tidied up the folder in front of him.
"Will the research meeting still be held?"
"Postpone it to tomorrow. This is the most important thing. Have Sun Baolai from the Discipline Inspection Commission prepare it," He Jiale instructed.
"I'll go inform them now!"
Twenty minutes later, two black cars stopped downstairs at the hotel. He Jiale got out of the car and went straight to the floor where Lu Feng was.
The group of seven arrived at the reception room. Lu Feng smiled as he greeted the visitors, shook hands with each of them, and then took his seat.
"Let me tell you, I've only just figured out what happened. What a coincidence, such a coincidence!" Lu Feng briefly explained the situation to He Jiale.
"Hahahaha!" He Jiale laughed loudly and said, "There's a saying, 'It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive at the right time.' As long as it's timely, that's good. Mr. Lu, where are the ledgers?"
He Jiale didn't care whether it was a coincidence or not. The most important thing now was the ledger. Even if what Lu Feng said was all made up, it didn't mean much anymore.
"Which one of you is from the investment promotion office?" Lu Feng asked, glancing at the seven people, completely ignoring He Jiale.
He Jiale was somewhat displeased by Lu Feng's words and asked, "Mr. Lu, what do you mean by that?"
"I can give you this ledger, but you have to ensure my safety and pay me cash on delivery. Let's sign the contract. By the end of the year, we'll receive the 300 million and the 100 million quota. We'll also fulfill the employment requirements on schedule!" Lu Feng had a smile on his face, but his words were unquestionable.
"Mr. Lu, are you talking business with us?" one of them said unhappily.
"Huh?" He Jiale waved his hand, telling him to be quiet, and said to his secretary beside him, "Call the director of the investment promotion office over. Let's sign the contract now. President Lu is a businessman. What else is there to talk about if not business?"
"I hope you're not angry, I had no choice," Lu Feng said to He Jiale.
"I understand! I understand!" He Jiale smiled generously.
Half an hour later, the investment promotion office arrived and drafted the contract on the spot. Lu Feng reviewed the terms and, after confirming that there were no problems, both parties signed it.
