Inside the airport, two vans were already waiting. Liu Cheng had specially arranged for several pretty girls from the company to hold bouquets of flowers and have people take pictures of them, with signs saying "Warmly welcome Mr. Lu Feng, Chairman of Jiafeng Electronics".
Of all the times we've welcomed them, this was the grandest ever.
"President Liu, isn't what we're doing a bit inappropriate?" A vice president, observing the scene, whispered, "President Lu has never really liked making a big fuss."
"You don't understand. Soon it will become a group, and all departments and branches will be vying for next year's budget. I've been criticized in the company for a long time. Zhu Lidong, who manages the marketing department, calls me all night long whenever a product sells well, like he's on his deathbed."
Liu Cheng mimicked Zhu Lidong's tone.
"You guys need to get started quickly. The market is in dire need of supplies. If you don't meet this year's target, don't blame me. I'll tell President Lu that it's your problem."
“You can’t be too honest. Once it becomes a conglomerate, the competition for budgets within the company will be fierce. It’s like President Lu is the emperor, and we companies are the concubines in the harem. We have to compete for his favor!” Liu Cheng patted the vice president’s shoulder and held up two fingers, saying, “This is the number I’m aiming for next year.”
"Two hundred million? Didn't they say the company's total accounts only showed a little over three hundred million?"
"I don't care about any of that. I've figured it out now. What you grab is what you get. All those people do all day is curse me, saying I spent the most money but did the least work. Do you think research and development can be done in a day?"
Liu Cheng muttered to himself that after Zhang Fengxia resigned and Wei Yandan took over, the internal competition pressure shifted from Zhang Fengxia and Zhu Lidong to Liu Cheng.
As Lu Feng walked out of the first-class aisle, two rows of welcoming girls hurriedly clapped and shouted in unison, "Welcome, Mr. Lu! Welcome, Mr. Lu!"
Before Lu Feng could even step forward, a little girl rushed up to him and presented him with flowers.
The scene was extremely awkward; the process was so gruesome that it would give anyone goosebumps.
"Alright, alright!" Lu Feng handed the flowers to the staff member next to him and looked at Liu Cheng, saying, "What kind of mess have you made? What? Did the company let you sell them at a low price by accident?"
"No, I don't have the authority to sell the company. It's mainly because I admire you." Liu Cheng was really bad at flattery, but he forced a compliment to Lu Feng, saying, "President Lu is so handsome and talented. I've missed you so much since we last met!"
Lu Feng looked at him with amusement and asked, "Anything else?"
"The youngest and richest entrepreneur in the country, bar none!" Liu Cheng racked his brains for words of praise and said, "His abilities are outstanding, unmatched by anyone."
"Anything else?"
"besides?"
Liu Cheng's forehead was already sweating. He had only intended to offer a few words of praise, but why was it still going on?
“You’re just not cut out for this, why are you doing all this?” Lu Feng shook his head and said, “We’ll talk about it when we get back to the company.”
On the way, Lu Feng asked about the R&D company's situation, and it seemed pretty good overall. Lu Feng was also aware of the commotion Liu Cheng had caused today.
"Don't worry about the budget. Don't take the rumors in the company to heart. Just focus on your R&D. This time, you're mainly here for foreign trade," Lu Feng said, flipping through the folder.
"I've heard about the foreign trade situation. I even had two meals with Li Guangfa. It seems like he feels like he's got the lifeline of our foreign trade in his hands and he won't budge an inch," Liu Cheng said, sounding a bit troubled.
Lu Feng's expression darkened, and he said, "Deal with him!"
"What should we do?" Su Yourong, who was sitting to the side, glanced at the scene and asked.
"Find a way to get it done!"
Liu Cheng glanced at Su Yourong. He didn't recognize the woman, but since Lu Feng was now single, it made sense that he had a glamorous woman by his side. He didn't ask any further questions.
Upon arriving at the R&D company, the first thing Lu Feng instructed was to treat Li Guangfa to dinner that evening.
In the afternoon, an invitation was placed on Li Guangfa's office desk, where several senior executives of the company had gathered.
"He rushed back from Suzhou in a hurry to treat me to dinner. He's really in a rush!" Mr. Li leaned back in his chair, smiling smugly. "Many people have told me that Lu Feng has a lot of ideas and methods, but when it comes to international trade, he's completely clueless, hahaha!"
