It was already late at night, and the entire business world was in an uproar. Even Zou Xiongfei was awakened, as he received several phone calls inquiring about the situation.
Lu Feng leaned against the headboard, smoking. Bai Yuanfang, her face flushed, slumped against Lu Feng's chest, exuding an indescribable scent of a young married woman. She looked up at Lu Feng and said weakly, "This isn't your first time, is it?"
“I had a girlfriend in college, but we broke up.” Lu Feng tapped the ash from his cigarette on the ashtray on the bedside table, not wanting to talk about this topic any longer, and said, “I think we shouldn’t rush things with Qian Zhongnan.”
"Why aren't you in a hurry? I wish I could divorce him right now and marry you." Bai Yuanfang said, snuggling closer to Lu Feng.
"If love between two people is meant to last, why should they be together every day and night?" Lu Feng pondered for a while and said, "I still want to achieve something and show my dad that this chaotic situation in Baiyuan City's raw material processing is profitable and a perfect opportunity to fish in troubled waters."
"Once I get control of the factory, I'll have millions, even tens of millions. How much more money do I need?" Bai Yuanfang said in a coquettish voice, her eyes sparkling like a pool of spring water as she stared at Lu Feng. "That's enough. As long as you're with me, my money is your money, isn't it?"
Lu Feng realized that this woman wouldn't listen to anything he was saying, and her hands were starting to wander again. He quickly stubbed out his cigarette, pulled the blanket over her, and shooed her to another blanket, saying, "It's getting late, you should go to sleep early. Goodnight."
With the lights off, Bai Yuanfang felt he had finally achieved the life he had always dreamed of: a well-educated and reasonable man living the life of a movie, saying good morning and good night, and even kissing goodbye.
In an era where even holding hands is a bit embarrassing, the kind of life depicted in Western movies captivated her.
Inside the city office, Zou Xiongfei sat there, wearing a coat, listening to Secretary Li finish explaining the matter.
"Several local state-owned enterprises called to ask if this matter was true or false. Some people also said not to make any rash moves, that this is a critical moment and we cannot be too aggressive, and that there is a restructuring of local private enterprises..."
"Bullshit!" Zou Xiongfei frowned and shouted, "I'm afraid someone is afraid I'll touch their interests. Let's leave it at that for now. Bring that guy over tomorrow and we'll do something big without saying a word."
Which guy?
"Which guy could it be? That Lu Feng!" Zou Xiongfei said, then stood up and left.
Secretary Li sighed, glanced at the clock on the wall—it was already one in the morning—and clicked his tongue as if in lament, muttering, "Reform! Reform!"
The next morning at eight o'clock, Bai Yuanfang woke up from her sleep with a happy expression on her face. It was the best sleep she had had in years. She wanted to relive the passion of the previous night, but when she reached out, she found that there was no one next to her.
"Where is he?" Bai Yuanfang asked in a panic.
"You're washing up? What time is it? Hurry up and get up," Lu Feng said from the bathroom.
"It's alright, you're all washed up, come over here quickly," Bai Yuanfang beckoned.
"I'm not going, you're being a pervert."
Bai Yuanfang was amused by his words and chuckled. After dawdling for almost an hour, the two finally went downstairs to have breakfast. Bai Yuanfang had her hair down and her face was full of smiles. She was incredibly charming and alluring.
Even the waiters who had seen her yesterday were stunned; she seemed like a completely different person.
Lu Feng hadn't expected her to change so much. While eating, he said, "You're getting more and more beautiful."
"When I'm in a good mood, I just want to smile when I see you," Bai Yuanfang said, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
Seeing her like this, Lu Feng was thinking about how to talk to her after he finished his business. Just as he was about to give her a heads-up, a waiter came over and said, "Mr. Weng, excuse me, someone is looking for you."
Lu Feng turned around and saw Secretary Li standing at the restaurant entrance. She said, "Let him come over."
Secretary Li walked over and sized up Lu Feng. He admired Lu Feng, an unknown nobody who had stirred up such a mess in Baiyuan City. If it weren't for Lu Feng's background, he wouldn't have dared to be negligent.
"Are you eating? Come with me when you're done."
"Have you eaten yet?" Lu Feng pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down and have something to eat with us. The breakfast here is really delicious."
Secretary Li sat down on his own. Bai Yuanfang glanced at him discreetly and asked casually, "What business do you have in the city?"
"It's none of your business." Secretary Li, who had also heard some of the rumors, said disdainfully, "Aren't you Qian Zhongnan's wife? What are you doing around him all day?"
Bai Yuanfang's face was unpleasant. She wanted to retort, but she couldn't because of her status, which made her feel very frustrated. Lu Feng hurriedly said, "Friend, friend!"
After lunch, Lu Feng gave a few instructions and then followed Secretary Li straight to the city.
Inside the office, Zou Xiongfei had a large pile of documents in front of him, and his face was somewhat worried. Secretary Li knocked on the open door and said, "Lu Feng is here."
"What Lu Feng? From now on, call him Mr. Weng." Zou Xiongfei waved his hand and said, "Come in, and close the door."
Lu Feng walked in and sat down opposite him, asking, "What's up?"
"Be mindful of your status and your attitude!" Secretary Li reminded him from the side.
Zou Xiongfei waved his hand dismissively, staring at Lu Feng and asking, "What did you mean by having dinner with Jin San and his gang last night and mentioning the 'big dairy cow' project? It's all over the place now, and local banks have frozen their lending operations overnight. Your words have made many people secretly start pooling their funds."
"Wow, that's powerful!" Lu Feng was also somewhat surprised by the effect.
