"Isn't it a bit too polite to invite them to dinner?" Yang Yan couldn't help but ask.
"You're too kind?" Lu Feng smiled at him and said, "You'll see when you get there."
At the tables and chairs in the canteen, ten people were seated at each table. Lu Feng walked in and instructed the canteen manager, "Bring up the rice. Two jin of rice per person. No one is allowed to leave until they finish it."
Two jin per person?
Ba Ge and his group were dumbfounded. Wasn't this going to cause someone to die from overeating?
A large plate of rice was served, and each person was given a set of bowls and chopsticks. Lu Feng stared at Ba Ge and said, "Eat up. I'm treating you to dinner, and you're not giving me face, are you?"
Brother Ba looked at the bowl of rice in front of him; this was a real treat.
“The guest is a bit reserved. Come on, help him eat!” Lu Feng whispered.
Yang Yan stood aside and saw a supervisor grab Ba Ge's hair, pry open his mouth and stuff rice into it. For the first time, he felt the difference between private enterprises and state-owned enterprises.
In state-owned enterprises, the leaders are the most powerful, while in private enterprises, the CEO is the most powerful. This kind of power is sometimes comparable to that of ancient emperors.
Within ten minutes, three police cars with sirens blaring stopped in front of Jiafeng Electronics Factory. Hao Zhihai got out of the car and said, "My men are being dragged inside and beaten. Hurry up, or someone will die. Lu Feng looks like he's going to kill someone."
"Open the door!" a middle-aged man shouted at the security guard.
After the door opened, Hao Zhihai questioned the security guard, "Where is he? Where did you take him?"
"Mr. Lu said he'd take them out to dinner," the security guard replied.
"Eat?" The lead policeman paused for a moment, then looked at Hao Zhihai and said, "Didn't you say it was a group fight?"
"I...I don't know either, let's go check." Hao Zhihai felt that things had developed a bit beyond his expectations.
They parked the car right in front of the cafeteria, and a group of people rushed inside. They were stunned by what they saw: Ba Ge and his group had rice all over their mouths, and some were even stuffing it into their mouths, as if they were about to burst from hunger.
"Lu Feng! What are you doing?" Hao Zhihai roared as he rushed forward, demanding, "What are you doing to them?"
“Take them out to dinner!” Lu Feng stared at Hao Zhihai and sized him up. “You’re Hao Zhihai from Yongchang Logistics, right?”
"I am Hao Zhihai." Hao Zhihai stared at Lu Feng, his eyes filled with malice, and asked, "President Lu, is your dinner invitation a bit too simple? Just rice?"
"That's right, I already said I'd treat you to dinner. There are no side dishes, but you can eat as much rice as you want!" Lu Feng smiled with a hint of sarcasm.
"Then why are there two people with one person? Are you trying to stuff them to death?"
"I was worried that our distinguished guests wouldn't enjoy the meal, and since female companions are discouraged these days, I hired male companions. Is there a problem? Oh dear, the police have been called in." Lu Feng looked at the group of police officers and said, "It's just a dinner party."
"You call this a dinner party?" the middle-aged policeman snapped.
"If this isn't a dinner invitation, what is? Who are you? Why are you in my factory? I have nothing to do here. Is it illegal to invite someone to dinner?" Lu Feng asked, staring at him.
"I am Ma Juntao, the director of the Chengnan Branch," the middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"The South Branch?" Lu Feng looked at him and said, "You've worked hard. This is the North Branch. You must have long legs."
"Mr. Lu, you're being arrogant, talking to me like that." Ma Juntao was a little annoyed.
"Whether I'm arrogant or not has nothing to do with how I talk. If you came in handcuffs, you could find a reason to arrest me." Lu Feng asked Hao Zhihai and Ma Juntao, "Luckily, today is a dinner invitation. If I hadn't been so polite, I would have been in big trouble. Is inviting people to dinner illegal?"
Ma Juntao was extremely displeased, but he could only reply, "It's not illegal, but President Lu should be careful about his approach."
"Let's call this a day." Lu Feng looked at Hao Zhihai and said, "Are you trying to play these games with me? You had your people pressure my clients to terminate their contracts with me. If you want to play, then I'll play along, but I'm afraid you can't afford to play."
"You think I can't take a beating?" Hao Zhihai completely let loose, scoffing, "You're just a kid who hasn't even grown up yet, trying to mess with me. Let me be frank with you, you'd better disband your Golden Bee Logistics as soon as possible, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Lu Feng looked at Ma Juntao and said, "He threatened me."
Ma Juntao remained silent and moved a little further away.
Lu Feng walked up to Hao Zhihai, raised his hand and patted his face, saying, "I called you last time because I wanted to have a good talk with you. Since you insist on solving this problem in this way, I don't mind playing along. You'd better be prepared."
