As soon as Lu Feng said this, the table fell silent, leaving only two comedians standing at a table not far away, chattering away.
"Poached meatballs, tofu meatballs..."
"Lu Feng, aren't you being a bit too forward?" President Li stared at Lu Feng with a gloomy expression. He sat sideways in his chair, facing Lu Feng, one hand on the back of the chair and the other on the table next to the dishes. His entire posture was quite oppressive, as if he was about to explode and hurt someone at any moment.
"Don't you know who you are? You look down on us? What right do you have to look down on us? You were the first to engage in the land grabbing scheme to exchange for funds. Now that you've made a name for yourself and caused a lot of trouble, the higher-ups have started to take notice. They haven't settled accounts with you for this yet."
"President Li, it's nothing serious, everyone calm down, it's the New Year." Su Yourong quickly smoothed things over.
Lu Feng reached out and pressed Su Yourong's hand down, then said to President Li, "The tightening of policies from above is a matter for the higher-ups. You wouldn't dare cause trouble for them, so why would you pick a fight with me? Besides, help me? Heh heh, buddy, your cement is only five cents a bag. We've never met, and you're being so nice to me. Do you think you'll make any money?"
"I...I'm just doing this to meet demand. We're all brothers, so talking about money is too formal," the other person said awkwardly.
"Working for nothing if you don't make money?" Lu Feng leaned back in his chair, picked up a cigarette, lit it, and said, "I know why you're treating us like this, with all this fanfare. I don't know much about the local area, but I think most of the troublemakers and cronies are here today, right?"
"What do you want to say? Just give me a straight answer!" President Li said bluntly.
"This factory is very important to us. The quality requirements for the factory are also high. I know that you are all influential figures in this area, and I am aware of your usual methods. Everyone knows this, so there probably won't be much profit for you on this project." Lu Feng raised his glass and addressed the crowd, "Let me toast you all. By the way, the intention behind the policies from above is good, and they hope that you will use your money to invest in some industries, instead of just taking advantage of loopholes and then spending your time eating, drinking, and having fun, becoming a dumping ground for waste."
After these words were spoken, not only this table, but also the two tables next to it fell silent. The two people performing crosstalk not far away lowered their voices, as if they realized that the situation was not good, and continued counting meatballs, which was out of place.
"That was a long monologue, now I'll tell you all a little something..."
Mr. Li laughed, and then everyone in the room laughed. The two comedians were happy, thinking their jokes were funny, and they performed even more energetically.
Lu Feng was the one who amused everyone.
He's just a sheep-plunderer, yet he puts on a saintly face and tries to lecture them.
This is absolutely hilarious.
"Have you forgotten what you do for a living? What's with the high-handed attitude? I've attended some business forums, I know you can brag, talking about all sorts of industries, global affairs, humanity, and the electronic world on stage." President Li pointed at Lu Feng and said, "I'll just ask you one thing, has Jiafeng Electronics made any money?"
"No!"
The people at the scene laughed. Wasn't he also making a big show of it, grabbing land everywhere, and using money from banks and policies to play tricks?
How can he put on a face that is even more saintly than a saint to educate me?
"I'm not really in the mood for drinking anymore, so I'll be frank with you. In the current situation, without us pulling strings for you, forget about getting 10,000 acres of industrial land. We'll find the connections and pull strings for you free of charge. We'll handle the rest of the factory construction—cement, construction teams, excavators, slag, sand, steel bars, and so on. Everyone here can take care of it." President Li laid it all out, turning to Lu Feng and saying, "I guarantee you'll have enough for seven or eight years."
"We might cooperate with China Construction Bureau in this regard!" Lu Feng gave his answer.
"Then you can leave. There's no place for you here. Let me tell you, even if the King of Heaven himself came, it wouldn't make a difference." President Li crossed his legs and said with a gloomy face, "Before you leave, we still need to settle accounts for the fact that you blocked our path to making money."
The atmosphere at the scene was about to freeze when a young man jogged over and whispered in President Li's ear, "President Li is here."
"Which Mr. Li?"
"Li Hong!"
What's she doing here?
As soon as she finished speaking, the banquet hall door was pushed open, and a woman in her late thirties walked in. She was dressed quite fashionably, wearing high heels and carrying a bag. Her clothes were not heavy; in fact, they looked like autumn clothes.
The fact that she's dressed so fashionably in this weather means she went straight into a heated room after getting off the car. However, the years have etched their marks on her face, and the most striking feature is her chest—completely flat!
"Mr. Li, what brings you here?" Mr. Li asked.
Su Yourong sat to the side, arms crossed, her face tense; clearly, Li Hong was not the person she wanted to see.
"I heard you were hosting some important people from Hong Kong while you were eating here, so I came to take a look. Oh my, isn't this Mr. Lu from Jiafeng Electronics? I saw a lot of news about you when I was in Hong Kong the year before last." Li Hong put a hand on Lu Feng's shoulder, glanced at Su Yourong next to her, and said, "I thought it was someone else, a fugitive returning."
"Who is the fugitive?" Su Yourong looked up at her and said, "President Li, it's been years. I heard you've stopped doing any business?"
"I've made enough. Today has been an eye-opener—a fugitive and a conman. What bad luck!" Li Hong said to Lu Feng, "You came all the way to our territory to scam people?"
