The car stopped in front of the villa. It was already late at night. Lu Feng told everyone to get some rest, as they would be negotiating with companies interested in investing over the next few days.
Back in his room, Lu Feng quickly washed up and went to sleep.
Hong Kong's entertainment and media industries are extremely developed. At the slightest sign of trouble in Hong Kong, countless paparazzi will swarm in. There used to be a joke that the second fastest thing in the world is a rocket, and the fastest thing is a Hong Kong reporter.
Late at night, newspapers were being printed, preparing to ignite tomorrow's public opinion.
The following day, a billionaire female chauvinist came out as gay, China's richest man beat up Tang Zhongren and other second-generation rich kids, and hundreds of financial companies announced a boycott of China's richest man.
There are so many news stories that could be headline content that it's overwhelming for people to read them all. There's so much gossip that they don't even know which topic to talk about.
Since Lu Feng arrived in Hong Kong, Tang Zhongren hasn't had a single good day. Sitting in his office reading the newspaper, his face was ashen. The bump on his head had gone down, but it was still throbbing.
When I came to work today, I heard people in the company talking about how he was beaten. Tang Zhongren slapped him twice. It's one thing to be bullied by Lu Feng, but to be gossiped about behind his back by the company's management is another.
The office door was pushed open, and a man in his sixties walked in. Tang Zhongren was furious and had nowhere to vent his anger. How dare someone come in without knocking?
Isn't this just walking right into the line of fire?
"Don't you know how to knock before entering? Don't you have any manners?" Tang Zhongren shouted angrily, turning around and startled to see the man. He quickly stood up and said, "Dad..."
Tang Xianglong stared solemnly at his good-for-nothing son. He was over thirty years old, and while others had already made their own way in the world, his son was still just hanging around in the headlines of entertainment gossip.
"Don't call me Dad!" Tang Xianglong picked up the newspaper on the table and threw it directly at Tang Zhongren's face, cursing, "Who told you to hit an executive? You still have the nerve to do all that scum?"
"It wasn't me who caused the trouble, it's just that Lu Feng was incredibly arrogant, I even got beaten up!" Tang Zhongren said, his face full of grievance.
Tang Xianglong looked at him. Although he was useless, he was still his son. This guy from the mainland was acting like a bully here and didn't take him seriously at all.
"Get your hands dirty with this. I'll have the PR department release a statement in a bit, telling all companies related to the shipbuilding group to stop giving that kid any funding." Tang Xianglong sighed helplessly. "Don't embarrass me, understand?"
"I understand!" Tang Zhongren hung his head, looking like a wilted eggplant.
After Tang Xianglong left, Tang Zhongren sat down with a gloomy face. He had never hated anyone so much before. Even if he offended someone in the past, the other party would give the shipping group some face and wouldn't be so ruthless. Lu Feng didn't give him any face at all. Now the whole of Hong Kong knows that he was slapped by Lu Feng!
In one morning, more than a dozen companies, led by the shipbuilding group, announced that any company that cooperates with them is prohibited from investing in Jiafeng Electronics, or they will cut off all contact.
This incident has really blown up. It's unprecedented in history. Lu Feng has been blacklisted by 90% of the companies in Hong Kong, and even street thugs know that he's been blacklisted.
"Holy crap, what's up with this company?"
"He's courting death. He's the one who hit Tang Zhongren. Now he's offended the entire upper class, and he's getting his comeuppance."
"I've heard this person is very powerful, the richest man in mainland China?"
"Gui Cai knows, but he definitely won't be able to make it in Hong Kong."
"I learned one thing from him: don't be too arrogant, or you'll pay the price for your actions!"
This event was so sensational that the news had already reached Shenzhen on the other side of the strait, and then many companies on the mainland received the news. Many people clapped their hands with joy, and some even excitedly held banquets.
Everyone in the mainland electronics industry knows how big the hole is in Jiafeng Electronics. Once the injection of funds is lost, Jiafeng Electronics faces two outcomes: either it will be sold off as a package deal or it will declare bankruptcy.
When the news reached the ears of several senior executives, including Zhu Lidong and Zhang Fengxia, it caused a complete uproar. They never expected Lu Feng to take things to this extent.
Zhang Fengxia immediately called Li Fang, who briefly explained what had happened in the past two days, only saying that it was all arranged by President Lu.
"Where is he?" Zhang Fengxia asked.
"He doesn't seem to be awake yet. He was just released on bail from the police station last night." Li Fang's voice was somewhat embarrassed. In the past few days, Lu Feng's image in her mind had been completely overturned.
"When he wakes up, tell him I called!"
Around 11 a.m., Lu Feng woke up groggily. His phone had been ringing off the hook with calls from countless reporters wanting to interview him, some even calling Jiafeng Electronics.
Lu Feng quickly washed up, put on his pajamas, went to the dining room, sat down to eat, and casually asked Li Fang next to him, "What's going on today? Tell me something exciting!"
Lu Feng had already anticipated what today's newspaper would say, and he picked up the rice in front of him and took a bite.
"Mr. Chen of Chen's Capital has come out as gay!"
"puff!!"
Lu Feng spat out a mouthful of rice, staring wide-eyed at Li Fang, utterly shocked.
He always felt that what he had done was already very illogical, and today the whole world was making headlines about him. He never expected that Lu Feng would overestimate himself. Sometimes the world is so absurd that it's hard to understand.
"Chen...Chen's Capital?" Lu Feng asked, realizing what was happening. "Is that the one that blocked our financing before? Isn't there someone named Su Yourong?"
