The next day, Dong Jian's schedule was quite full, and he didn't receive Lu Feng, spending most of his time talking with Director Tong. With the general framework set, everything else was easier to handle.
The contract was quite stringent, with strict control over funds. However, fortunately, Jiafeng Electronics did not have to pay for the initial investment itself. At the same time, Lu Feng talked with the leaders of China Construction Bureau and found that if the two local construction groups were to work on the project at the same time, the factory's hardware was expected to be completed in eight months.
Even with rain and wind, it should be fine to build and use it in ten months. However, this is just the main framework of the factory area. It will take at least two years to build the living area, a complete canteen, a small shop, etc.
This is already a very fast pace. The current progress cannot be calculated using the construction speed of large machinery decades from now. Lu Feng signed a preliminary letter of intent.
In just two days, he signed more than a dozen contracts with the local municipal government and was featured on the local news broadcast. Major local media praised him as another major achievement in promoting private enterprises and deepening reforms, setting a benchmark and calling on all private enterprises in the city to learn from and emulate Mr. Lu Feng, an outstanding and innovative private entrepreneur.
That day, it was said that a thorough investigation would be carried out on President Li and others. Indeed, a series of rectifications were launched afterward. Some people were unlucky, but most people were safe and sound.
The economic highway cannot be stopped for such a small matter. No one dares to apply the brakes at this time. Only when the economic scale increases and people are no longer concerned about having enough to eat and wear, will the economic train slow down and it will be time to settle accounts later.
President Li felt extremely uncomfortable looking at the newspaper. Not only him, but many people who had exploited the policy were also uncomfortable. Especially that phrase about "outstanding innovative private entrepreneurs," which directly hit them where it hurt.
We're all clowns, so why are you the artist?
A group of people began to realize that the environment had changed and that they needed to be proactive in researching new strategies, especially studying Lu Feng, which was crucial for them.
Su Yourong left the next day, partly because her visa was about to expire and partly because the company really needed her to go back and work.
Lu Feng got along well with Director Tong. After finishing his drinks, he returned to the hotel to rest. A formal signing ceremony would be held tomorrow, and the rest could be left to his subordinates.
It was already 9 p.m., and Wei Yandan still hadn't left work. People kept peeking into her office from time to time, as if there was something inside that piqued their curiosity, making them reluctant to leave.
Wei Yandan looked at Kevin sitting on the sofa with some helplessness, stood up and said, "Mr. Kevin, I don't know the specifics of what you're talking about, and President Lu is currently out of town on a business trip. It's already quite late, and it's not appropriate for you to stay here any longer. Could you leave your phone number, and I'll let you know when President Lu returns and help you schedule a time?"
"Don't try to fool me with that process. What appointment, what business trip, what meeting? Tell him to come out here. You dare to do it but not admit it? Is this something a human being would do?" Kevin was already somewhat hysterical. He still hadn't dared to tell his wife that he had lost his job.
“President Lu is really not here. If you continue like this, I will call security to kick you out,” Wei Yandan said in a deep voice.
"Lu Feng isn't here, is he? Du Guoying is here, right? And that Liu Cheng guy, and that Dong guy, right? I came with a group of people, and now it's your turn. Are you a scam company? One group of people are scamming people, and the other group is responsible for reneging on the deal, isn't that it?" Kevin stood up and shouted, "Bring those people out! They're all shills!! That Du Guoying is a shill!!"
"Don't talk nonsense. What did we lie to you about?" Wei Yandan couldn't stand his shouting anymore. She opened the office door and saw a group of people outside. She said in a deep voice, "Call security and get them out of here!"
"Try touching me! If Lu Feng doesn't come today, I'm not done with this. I'm calling the police!" Kevin picked up the phone on the table and started calling the police.
A dozen minutes later, the police arrived. Kevin, with tears streaming down his face, recounted his experience, saying that no one had suffered as much as he had.
This year has been incredibly unlucky; it's probably because it's my birth year in the Chinese zodiac.
"You foreigner seem to know quite a bit, but let me tell you, you can't cause trouble here, understand? Any issues should be resolved through mediation," a policeman advised.
“I want to see him. I’ve never seen this woman before, but I’ve met a few other people. They’re part of a gang.” Kevin insisted that it was a fraud ring.
What did they scam you out of? Money?
“They lied to me and made me lose my job. They wrote my resignation letter and made me lose my job!” Kevin tried to express how much pain he was in.
“How could that be? What kind of organization lets someone just write a resignation letter and leave?” another policeman said.
“What I said is true, that’s exactly what they did.”
"Then your workplace isn't good either. Is it possible that they don't want you anymore?" the police officer wondered.
These words pierced Kevin's heart!
"Your company boss is Lu Feng, right? He's out of town, can you contact him? Give him a call and ask." A policeman offered a solution.
Wei Yandan was helpless. Her usual work style was to keep the work within her own level and not pass it on to others.
She first called Liu Cheng and the others to ask if they could contact Lu Feng. After going around in circles for a while, she finally got the hotel's phone number at 10:30 p.m. and called it.
Lu Feng had just finished showering and was getting ready for bed when the phone rang. He answered it casually, saying, "Who is it?"
"Mr. Lu, it's me, Wei Yandan. Something's happened at the company. Do you know a foreigner named Kevin?" Wei Yandan asked directly.
