Lu Feng listened and nodded repeatedly. This was the advantage of having talent; he had his own way of thinking and could grasp many things quickly.
"Not bad, you're quite clever." Lu Feng glanced at the time; it was already past ten in the morning, and Kevin still hadn't called. If he really gave up that ten thousand yuan, he would be at a huge loss.
"I'll call their company and get in touch with them!" Lu Feng sighed and prepared to call and ask.
Kevin sat at home after breakfast, feeling conflicted. Ten thousand yuan wasn't a lot for him, but the matter was over just like that. He felt a tightness in his chest, as if he was afraid and didn't dare to face Lu Feng.
After much thought, Kevin decided he should face it. He refused to believe that all he could do was ask for money.
I picked up the phone and dialed the number on the business card.
Lu Feng answered the phone and said, "Who is this?"
"Is this Lu Feng?" Kevin asked on the other end of the phone.
Upon hearing his voice, Lu Feng turned his head and smiled at Du Guoying. The big fish has arrived! Two fish have been caught in the net. As for the other fish, it has already gone into the pot on its own, covered with scallions, ginger, and garlic.
"Yeah, where are you? I mean, I'm going to buy some groceries today." Lu Feng said into the phone, "I'm with Du Guoying right now. Are you coming to the company, or going straight to the market?"
"Tell me the location, and I'll go directly there. I won't go to the farmers' market."
"Okay, let's meet at my place then."
Lu Feng told him the location of the villa, and after hanging up the phone, he said to Du Guoying, "Let's go buy groceries, and at the same time, reconsider your ideas."
The two went downstairs and headed straight to the vegetable market. The vegetables were really expensive today, and there were very few vendors. They bought a lot of things and a case of red wine. Lu Feng then drove home.
When they arrived at the villa entrance, Kevin was already there. He was dressed festively today and bowed to Lu Feng, saying, "Happy Year of the Dog!"
"May the Year of the Dog bring you prosperity!" Du Guoying said politely.
"Let's take the things inside first," Lu Feng said, opening the trunk. "Everyone get busy with yourselves. It's Chinese New Year, so we should make it feel like Chinese New Year."
Du Guoying helped move the things, and Lu Feng opened the door to his house. A thin layer of dust had settled inside, indicating that no one had lived there for some time.
Kevin entered the house, looked around, and cautiously asked Lu Feng, "Are you sure this is your house? You didn't just randomly pick an empty house and come in, did you?"
"Just think of me as someone who randomly opened a house and brought you two here for the New Year." Lu Feng smiled as he looked at Kevin's suspicious expression. "Mr. Kevin, there's no need to be so wary. I don't eat people."
"Actually, I came here today because I didn't want to be alone on such a day for family reunion. It's not because of that ten thousand yuan." Kevin felt something was off. It seemed like the house hadn't been lived in for a while. If Lu Feng unlocked the door and took him in, he would be held responsible if something happened.
"This amount of money is nothing to a boss like you, right? And it's nothing to me either. There's no need to lose face over such a small sum!"
Kevin wanted to provoke Lu Feng by showing him some face, and then find an excuse to leave after getting the money.
"It's okay! I'm shameless!" Lu Feng mimicked his accent, pointing to his face.
Du Guoying was amused by Lu Feng's accent. She handed the things to Kevin and said, "It's just a little money. We'll talk about it after we finish eating. He'll give it to you, won't he? If it really doesn't work, you can take his car! The three of us are really destined to meet. It's not easy to get together during the New Year. Besides, I've found that Boss Lu is a very easy-going person with no airs."
Both of them were talking about themselves, and Kevin couldn't stand it anymore. He felt like he was being stingy, so he picked up his things, turned around, and headed home.
The three of them worked for quite a while. Du Guoying was quite skillful and talkative, chatting and laughing with Lu Feng. The room was filled with laughter, and the atmosphere seemed to become harmonious.
Kevin gradually lowered his guard, took a small plastic stool and sat there picking green beans. Lu Feng was cooking and Du Guoying was chopping vegetables. The two of them turned their heads and looked at each other, which obviously had a certain effect on calming Kevin down.
