In Hong Kong, the upper class has its own way of solving problems. Few people go to thugs to resolve issues, firstly because it lowers their own social standing, and secondly because it makes them look down upon by their peers.
Tang Zhongren wouldn't have done something so self-degrading if he hadn't been out of ideas to deal with Lu Feng.
The next day, Feng Zhiyao was summoned to the study and told to stay by Lu Feng's side a little longer. Even though Feng Zhiyao was extremely unwilling, he could only silently agree.
He drove to the villa and sat down with Lu Feng to drink tea. They didn't say a word to each other for the entire morning, and Lu Feng knew what he was thinking.
Li Fang walked in and said, "President Lu, it's time for lunch."
"Young Master Feng, you've drunk so much tea, it's time to eat something." Lu Feng stood up, stretched, and walked towards the dining room without paying any attention to him.
Feng Zhiyao felt that the morning had dragged on endlessly. If his father hadn't insisted that he come, he wouldn't have wanted to stay a second longer.
He felt that his father looked down on him and always thought he was incompetent. Since it was too late before the New Year, Feng Zhiyao planned to personally handle a few projects after the New Year to show him.
Inside the restaurant, Lu Feng asked while eating, "Did President Zheng and the others call?"
“I called, and they said they wanted to continue the conversation. They mentioned on the phone that they had spoken with a woman named Su Yourong last night,” Li Fang replied.
Lu Feng slammed his chopsticks down on the table, his face turning ashen. He took a deep breath and said, "Then let them talk."
Seeing his expression, Feng Zhiyao smiled and said, "You won't get the financing you're hoping for. There's no fool in Hong Kong; these companies are all very shrewd."
“I never intended to get funding from them,” Lu Feng said casually.
"Besides these six companies, do you have any other opportunities?"
“Wait for your dad!” Lu Feng said bluntly, “Your dad isn’t speaking up now because he’s waiting for these companies to pressure me down to a low price so he can buy shares at a slightly higher price. The reason these six companies dare to pressure me down like this is because they think no one will invest in me.”
Lu Feng explained the current situation in a few words.
Feng Zhiyao didn't believe Lu Feng's words at all. In his eyes, Lu Feng thought he was a hot commodity, but nobody wanted him.
Around 1 p.m., representatives from the six companies arrived again. This time, they sat in the living room, which was much more spacious. The entire afternoon was spent asking about the five points from yesterday, and the other party managed to lower the price even further.
Lu Feng remained expressionless throughout, bluntly telling them that if he couldn't raise funds here, he would fly to the United States, where the financing environment was better.
The idea behind these six companies is to first acquire a portion of the equity at a low price, and then acquire more shares at a higher price, which can increase the valuation and lay the foundation for the next round of financing.
Lu Feng didn't believe such nonsense at all. After getting the first batch of low-priced shares, these people would no longer buy high-priced shares. They dared to show off such a deceptive trick in front of him.
At six o'clock in the evening, Lu Feng saw his guests off, and the two sides parted on bad terms.
"I'm going home too. I need to give my old man some closure. It's rare to see such a good-for-nothing run a company!" Feng Zhiyao muttered to himself as he stood up and walked towards the door.
Lu Feng ignored him and walked towards the phone to call Su Yourong.
I made four calls before they finally answered.
"Who is it?" The voice on the other end of the phone was somewhat alluring.
"It's me, Lu Feng!" Lu Feng said in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want? You even called those people over to dig up my past, are you crazy?"
Upon hearing Lu Feng's voice, Su Yourong's smile vanished, and her voice turned shrill: "I want you dead!"
"You want me dead, don't you? Come on, pick a place, damn it, today it's either you kill me or I kill you!" Lu Feng shouted.
"Okay, sure, you want to meet, right? At Cloud Beach in Tsim Sha Tsui!" Su Yourong said and hung up the phone.
She sat on the sofa looking somewhat pained, rubbed her face, changed into jeans and sneakers, and drove straight to Yun'an Beach.
Yun'an Beach is one of the more famous beaches here. In the summer, it's bustling with people playing in the water. Now, although the weather isn't cool, there are far fewer people here.
Su Yourong was wandering around by the roadside when some thugs passing by whistled at her. She picked up a brick from the roadside and smashed it on their heads, scaring the thugs away without looking back.
Lu Feng parked his car and searched along the roadside. When he saw a familiar figure, he ran towards it.
He ran up behind Su Yourong, spun her around, and said in a deep voice, "Are you fucking sick? What have I done to wrong you? What happened back then was my fault. You schemed against me, but you didn't, and I got you. You're incompetent, so now you're taking revenge on me?"
Su Yourong stared at that face, her eyes wide. The events of the past year flooded her mind, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She didn't listen to what Lu Feng was saying at all, and raised her hand to slap him with all her might.
"Smack!"
Lu Feng's head was buzzing from the sudden slap. When he came to his senses, he raised his hand and slapped back without saying a word.
Su Yourong didn't dodge, but instead slapped him again while tears streamed down her face.
Passersby avoided them, and the two stood by the roadside without saying a word, slapping each other in the face.
Half an hour later, the two of them sat on the beach with swollen faces. Lu Feng sighed and said, "Stop fighting. I'm much angrier now. Just tell me, what did I do to offend you?"
