"Ugh!" Zhang Fengxia's voice was full of disgust as she said, "How did you end up in this kind of newspaper? And with a picture too?"
Lu Feng rubbed his face and said, "Those are other people's pictures, not mine. Things are going fairly smoothly here. Don't ask too many questions about things here, understand?"
"Does Xiaoyan know about what you're doing over there?" Zhang Fengxia asked curiously.
"Go away, don't tell her. That's how the media is in this kind of place. After a while, they'll expose something else, and people will forget about it. Besides, once we've finished dealing with this, we can just find a few media outlets to clarify and clear things up, right?"
Lu Feng didn't want to talk to her about this, so he asked about the company's situation and asked her to clarify the labeling of exported goods so that production could start as soon as possible.
Zhang Fengxia said the contract has been signed and the first batch of goods is 30,000 television sets. Apart from the production and supply from Weipuda in mainland China, only two production lines can be freed up, and production alone will take more than a month.
Including customs, approvals, quality inspection reports, etc., it will probably be the end of the year by the time the payment is received.
The two chatted for a long time, whispering to each other until midnight. Just before hanging up, Zhang Fengxia told Lu Feng not to get too carried away, since Shenzhen is so close, any news might get through there.
The impact is not good.
Lu Feng grunted twice and hung up the phone. Without even washing up, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
President Chen went to bed early, thinking that with the police intervention, everything was calm and that Lu Feng from the mainland couldn't cause any trouble.
The next morning, the media carried the same news as the previous day, but the financial world was in an uproar, especially over Lu Feng's statement that he was confident he could make Chen's Capital's stock drop another 40%.
When Mr. Chen arrived at the company, he was stunned after receiving a phone call. He picked up the phone on the table and called the public relations manager. A few minutes later, a middle-aged man walked in, looking somewhat flustered.
"Mr. Chen, you wanted to see me?" The man didn't dare to look at Mr. Chen at all.
"Didn't you tell me yesterday that a case had been filed and that the arrest would be made that very night?" President Chen slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and shouted, "How come he's still at large?"
“The police station did say they arrested him, but... but Director Ren released him. After I received this news, I immediately called him, and he told me to trust the rule of law and follow the procedures.”
"According to procedure? What procedure?" President Chen grabbed the folder in front of him and threw it at the whistle, yelling hysterically, "Who? I want to see which big shot is pulling strings behind the scenes. Now take your things and get out of here!"
General Manager Chen picked up the phone on the table and called Director Ren directly.
"Good morning, who is this?" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded relaxed.
"I'm Mr. Chen from Chen's Capital. I just want to ask you something: who called you and asked you to release Lu Feng?" Mr. Chen asked bluntly, speaking to his subordinate rather than a police chief.
"Nobody's really in charge. I'm just following the rules, Mr. Chen. You can't put me in a difficult position. We're attracting a lot of attention internationally, especially regarding security. Whether they're foreigners, mainlanders, or locals, we must treat everyone equally..."
"Stop talking nonsense to me. You act like a lapdog when you see foreigners. If you don't arrest me today, who knows if you'll be able to keep your position next time."
The phone was hung up as soon as Mr. Chen finished making his threat.
President Chen's face turned ashen. She truly sensed that something was terribly wrong, especially given the recent undercurrents. She couldn't quite figure out who it was.
Mr. Chen sat there without saying a word. She always felt that there was a pair of eyes watching her from the shadows, which made her spine tingle. Others were in the shadows, but she was in the light, which put her in a very passive position.
However, Lu Feng, this pawn that has been pushed out, must be eliminated in the short term. As soon as the market opens on Monday, if there is even the slightest sign of trouble with Chen's Capital's stock, a large amount of capital will flee like diarrhea.
Although she has the ability to mobilize a lot of funds in a short period of time, she does not want to make such a big fuss. If she mobilizes funds to support the stock price, how will the board of directors view her?
She might not be elected next time the executive director is chosen.
"If you're looking for death, don't blame me for being impolite!" President Chen's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he began making phone calls to arrange things.
As a woman who rose through the ranks from the bottom, she has encountered many men and experienced even more things; she knows all sorts of people from all walks of life.
It's very simple to arrange for someone to take care of Lu Feng.
