Lu Feng vaguely heard the phone ring, got up and went outside. He was a little annoyed. He had told them not to answer the phone to him. He picked up the phone casually and said in a high-pitched voice, "Hello, who is this? I'm Mr. Lu's secretary. He's not here right now."
Jiang Xiaoyan was very familiar with Lu Feng's voice. Hearing him speak like that, she couldn't help but laugh. It was clear that he seemed to be alright.
"You're his secretary? I didn't know he had a secretary. What's your name?" Jiang Xiaoyan asked.
Lu Feng recognized the voice on the phone, but he had met too many people recently. He subconsciously thought of investors but couldn't recall who it was.
"This has nothing to do with you. Who are you? Leave your contact information, and I'll tell him later!" Lu Feng continued in a shrill voice.
"Okay, tell him that someone named Jiang Xiaoyan is looking for him!"
"Xiaoyan?" Lu Feng reacted instantly, slapped his thigh and said, "No wonder this voice sounds so familiar, just like my wife's. I didn't expect it to be true."
"But you didn't notice it for so long. Oh well, I was thinking you must be in a bad mood, so I let you come back for a few days. You have so much free time, so go ahead and do your thing." Jiang Xiaoyan's worries didn't seem so strong anymore.
"I'm not busy at all. I'm quite free now. I'll buy some groceries and cook dinner when I get home. It's been a while since I've seen Duoduo. Our business is between the two of us, and we can't let it affect the child, right?" Lu Feng chuckled into the phone and said, "Just you wait!"
The call ended, and a smile unconsciously appeared on Jiang Xiaoyan's face. Then, her lips parted slightly, revealing her snow-white teeth, making her look so sweet.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaoyan walked briskly out the door, knocked on Zhang Fengxia's office door, and said, "I'm leaving a little early today. Could you hold the meeting for them tonight?"
"Is that all?" Zhang Fengxia teased. "You change every day. If this continues, remarriage is just a matter of time."
"We'll see, the main thing is how much there is." Jiang Xiaoyan said, then turned and walked away.
Lu Feng started changing his clothes, and after getting ready, he took his car keys and went downstairs. He drove straight to the market and bought some vegetables, wine, snacks, and other odds and ends.
Around 6 PM, Lu Feng stood at the school gate. Duo Duo came out and saw Lu Feng. Her eyes lit up instantly, and she rushed over, shouting, "Dad!"
Lu Feng reached out and picked her up. The little one had gained some weight recently and had grown quite a bit taller. He held her in his arms and said, "You've grown up! You're a big girl now!"
"Dad, are you done with your work?" Duoduo hugged Lu Feng's neck, gave him a kiss on the cheek, and said, "Dad, I've been reading the newspaper lately, and there are a lot of news about you, all about a foreign girl and you."
Lu Feng's expression stiffened. He knew perfectly well what those newspapers had written. What would his child think if he knew all this? How would he view him?
"So what do you think of this matter...?" Lu Feng asked tentatively.
Duoduo was quite cheerful, grinning as she said, "Dad, I only saw the picture and don't know many words, but all the kids in my class admire me. My dad is in the newspaper every day, and sometimes he's on TV too. But today, the teacher asked me if my company was going to go bankrupt."
"How could that be?" Lu Feng saw the gatekeeper holding a newspaper with a news article about him. Lu Feng borrowed it and said to Duo Duo, "Look, this headline says, 'Lu Feng is awesome!'"
The old man couldn't help but roll his eyes; he was just taking advantage of the child's illiteracy.
After making Duoduo happy, they got in the car and drove straight home. When they arrived home, Jiang Xiaoyan was busy in the kitchen, and the table was already full of food, which looked exceptionally plentiful.
"Didn't you say I'd do it?" Lu Feng entered the house and found that the house had already been tidied up.
Jiang Xiaoyan, with her hair tied up and a scarf around her neck, came out and said, "This time it's my turn. I was worried that you wouldn't be able to handle it, given how big a thing happened to you and how much media coverage it's all over the place. But it seems like everything's alright now!"
Lu Feng picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in his mouth, saying, "You know I've been through a lot, this is nothing. That's enough, we can't finish it. You're not stingy anymore, you've even got a refrigerator and a color TV."
“That’s right, you’ve already paid my electricity bill until 2020, what am I supposed to do without it?” Jiang Xiaoyan sat down and said, “Let’s eat.”
Throughout the meal, Duoduo clung to Lu Feng's arms, behaving in an unusually affected manner. Jiang Xiaoyan couldn't stand it anymore. A variety show was playing on TV, with bursts of laughter in the background. Duoduo would eat a couple of bites and then stare blankly at the TV.
Everything in the room was so cozy that it made you feel completely relaxed. In this home, no one argued about right or wrong anymore, and no one was bound by worldly constraints. It was as if everything had passed by like fleeting clouds, and the peaceful days continued to move forward.
The outside world is in an uproar about Jiafeng Electronics and Lu Feng, but even if the sky falls and the earth cracks, it won't affect this place at all!
Elmi was on the phone with his father. The news about Jiafeng Electronics today was really overwhelming, especially since some people said that investors in Hong Kong were starting to get upset.
This is a major crisis for Jiafeng Electronics!
Everyone thought that if a domestic brand had to fall in the communications industry, the first one would be Bird, because it wasn't big enough and couldn't stand firm. But it turned out to be Jiaxun Technology.
The business world is like a battlefield; nothing is absolute. Today's skyscrapers may collapse in an instant tomorrow. As long as the equity is not converted into money and put into your pocket, you will always be on the gambling table!
