"These are minor matters; people usually don't go. Seize the opportunity. Also, we need to hurry up with the five million. If another large account comes in, we'll have to postpone it again!" Boss Hao reminded him.
“I know, don’t worry. There’s something else. We’re going to Jin Fen Ren Jia tonight. I offered to treat, but Mr. Xiao wouldn’t allow it. He said it’s for you to show your skills.”
"Let me perform?" President Hao exclaimed. Why is it always me who pays for things?
“Yeah, I’m wondering the same thing. Why don’t you go ask President Xiao what’s going on?” Lu Feng said, looking puzzled.
How could President Hao dare to ask? There was no way to ask such a thing. President Hao glanced at Lu Feng and felt that this silly young man was not a good person!
"Okay, then give me 20,000 yuan, and I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight," Boss Hao said to Lu Feng.
"Brother, I'm so poor now that all I have left is this." Lu Feng pushed the contract in front of him, looking embarrassed. "You can pay for it first, and we'll settle the bill later. I promise I won't let you down."
"How much do you have left?" Mr. Hao asked helplessly.
"Look at you, you don't believe me!" Lu Feng waved his hand and said, "I've had enough trouble these past few days, having to be humble and subservient. I don't want the money anymore, goodbye!"
"You still owe me money!" Mr. Hao hurriedly chased after him; how could he let him get away?
"It's not that I don't want to pay you back. Beigang owes me 18 million, and I've already paid it. What's a little bit more than this? I'm not good at dealing with people, with meals and karaoke." Lu Feng looked at him and said confidently, "Brother, do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't pay back debts?"
Mr. Hao felt a tightness in his chest. He felt something was wrong. Lu Feng should have been nodding and greeting him. Lu Feng was asking for money, and he was the grandfather.
Whether or not we can get the 18 million has nothing to do with Mr. Hao, but the money he's spent recently is all his personal money!
"Don't be impulsive, young man. You've already come this far, and you're not going to let it go over such a small amount of money..."
“It’s not about the money, it’s about how pathetic I feel,” Lu Feng interrupted him.
"Young man, don't be so hot-tempered. It's alright, I'll settle the bill tonight. You go back and discuss it with the board of directors. Get the five million transferred as soon as possible." After much persuasion from President Hao, Lu Feng reluctantly agreed and headed towards the hotel.
As Mr. Hao watched him walk away, he stood there cursing, "What the hell is this bullshit? If it weren't for the five million, I would have slapped you long ago. Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get..."
Back at the hotel, before even entering his room, Feng Zhiyao opened the door and said, "Brother Feng, Secretary Cui called and left a phone number, saying it's President Tang's number."
"Okay, I understand." Lu Feng pushed open the door and went inside.
There was a piece of paper on the table with a phone number written on it. Lu Feng put the contract down and dialed the number. After a few rings, the other end answered.
"Hello, this is General Manager Shen Fei's office. Who are you looking for?" It was a telephone operator's voice on the other end.
Lu Feng figured that if he introduced himself, the other party definitely wouldn't transfer the call. He probably received countless calls every day. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'm the director of the Aerospace Technology Materials Research Institute. I'd like to have a chat with President Tang."
"Which research institute? If it's a technical issue, please come through an organization that can refer you. Bring a letter of introduction, and we'll schedule an appointment for you!" The person on the other end of the phone asked immediately after finishing speaking. "Is there anything else?"
Then he hung up the phone.
Lu Feng scratched his head anxiously. After thinking for a moment, he called again. The person on the other end still had a very formal accent. Lu Feng said, "Hello, I am a staff member of the embassy. I hope to be able to..."
"Sir, is it fun?" The person on the other end of the phone interrupted Lu Feng's speech.
"I just wanted to talk to President Tang... beep beep beep..."
The call was disconnected again.
Lu Feng knew that for a state-owned enterprise of this level, it was impossible for ordinary people to fool them with a few words. Even if you said there was business to discuss, there was no way to get it done.
What kind of business are we discussing?
Want to buy a few fighter jets to play with?
Lu Feng was at his wit's end. Any company that is profit-driven can be exploited, but this company is not profit-driven!
"Let's call Lao Huang!" Lu Feng called Huang Youwei.
Huang Youwei answered the phone, and upon hearing it was Lu Feng, a smile spread across his face. He had expected Lu Feng to call him; Lu Feng could fool ordinary people, but were the people in that call ordinary?
