"No! No!" Lu Feng's face darkened, and he said seriously, "Let bygones be bygones. We both have families now, so it's not appropriate to do this, and let's not stir up trouble."
Standing next to Lu Feng, Shi Yanyan whispered, "My man and I haven't been together for a long time."
Lu Feng pretended not to hear.
Hu hurriedly raised his hand to gesture for silence, saying, "Don't make a fuss, everyone sit down. Yan Yan, go back to your seat."
Shi Yanyan raised her head and gave Lu Feng a somewhat resentful look, then turned around and quickly returned to her seat, clearly not very happy.
"Come on, everyone, let's raise our glasses and toast to our friendship as classmates."
After a few rounds of drinks, many people were getting a little hot and started taking off their padded coats. Some leaned back in their chairs and began to brag, while others with ulterior motives came over with their glasses.
"Fengzi, let me toast you." A short, stout man raised his wine glass and said, "I'm having some trouble right now, so I'm really embarrassed to ask you for help. I really have no other choice. I made some money this year, but I lost it all gambling in the village this winter. After the New Year, I don't even have money to buy seeds and fertilizer. Could you please find me some work?"
"How can I arrange it for you?" Lu Feng said, holding his wine glass. "I can definitely arrange it for you if I could, but I can't arrange it right now."
"Look at you..." the other person said with slight dissatisfaction, "It's just getting a job as an ordinary worker in a factory, that's just a matter of you saying a word. This is the first time I've asked you for a job."
"No, no!" Lu Feng hurriedly said, "I can't manage the factory anymore. Jiaming Foods is no longer under my control."
"You're talking nonsense. You own the factory, so it's not under your control, is it?" As he spoke, the other person suddenly raised the glass in his hand, downed a glass of liquor in one gulp, and grinned, saying, "Brother, I'll drink this. You can handle it as you see fit. No matter what, we're classmates and brothers, so I definitely won't feel wronged."
These words made Lu Feng unable to drink the wine.
“I can’t drink this wine, classmate, I really can’t help you.” Lu Feng said to Hu next to him, “I really can’t control Jia Mei right now. Don’t think that just because I’m the founder, I’m about to be eliminated.”
Hu and Liu thought Lu Feng wanted them to help him decline. Hu said, "Goudan, you gamble all day long. You got to where you are today entirely because of your own actions. You can't expect everyone to help you. You have to be strong yourself. I think Fengzi is right. Don't take advantage of your drunkenness to cause trouble. Go back to your seat."
Dog Egg looked utterly disappointed as he staggered back to his seat.
After Liu Jiang saw him leave, he picked up a cigarette from the table and offered it to Lu Feng, but Lu Feng waved his hand and refused.
"Fengzi!!" Hu hugged Lu Feng's back and whispered, "I've made some money in the last two years. I was thinking of investing in something else, but when I found out you've started a factory, and you're handling all the packaging and raw materials yourself, I had to help you, right?"
Lu Feng thought something was off. Was he supposed to help him?
“We’re the two people you trust the most. I understand. You’re setting up those supporting factories because you’re afraid the suppliers will cause trouble for you. I’m your best friend. My factory is your factory, so I feel I have to help you with this.” Hu looked at Lu Feng with a very firm gaze.
Lu Feng has met a master. He wanted Lu Feng to help him, but Lu Feng said he wanted to help himself. This guy came from the countryside and made it to where he is today in his twenties. He's really something.
"You're really too kind, too polite." Lu Feng looked at him and said, "There are so many good things to invest with that money. If I lose it all for you, I'll feel really bad."
"No, no, don't say that. You're hurting my feelings." Hu picked up his glass and downed it in one gulp. "A deep friendship is like a gulp. I genuinely want to help you. Think about it, my supporting factory and your food factory, put together, wouldn't that be a thriving business?"
“The key point is that the supporting factory has been losing money; it supplies the food factory at cost price,” Lu Feng said to him.
"You think you can make me lose our relationship?"
"able!!"
"Look at you, you're kidding me, aren't you?"
“It really is possible.” Lu Feng said with a serious face, “I’m about to be out of the game now. Jiaming Foods has grown a lot, introduced too many shareholders, formed a board of directors, and voted to select a professional manager. The development model has been established, and I have no right to change it.”
