"No, please sit down. I just suddenly realized I've been too high-profile." Lu Feng frowned and thought for a while before saying, "When I went to the Internet Conference, I was treated like a celebrity, with people crowding around my car. I'm too famous. This is really not good. There's an old saying that arrogance will eventually be punished by heaven. I just want to keep a low profile."
“But you’re so dazzling, no one will allow you to keep a low profile!” Zhu Lidong said to Liu Cheng sitting opposite him, “Besides, you’re so handsome, don’t you think?”
"Sycophant!" Liu Cheng said irritably.
"Alright, everyone, don't worry. Apart from the positions and the nominee shareholding, everything else will remain the same!" Lu Feng reassured everyone.
"So what position will you be in now? Who will handle things from now on?" Wei Yandan asked with difficulty, since there would be no top decision-maker anymore.
"I'm fine with any position—security team leader, cleaning supervisor, it doesn't matter. The highest decision-making should be made by the rotating president; that's the original intention behind this position. The company needs to gradually become self-sufficient, not something that can't survive without me." Lu Feng said to everyone, "Understand?"
Everyone nodded with troubled expressions, secretly thinking that no one would dare to mess with the cleaners and security guards anymore.
"Alright, I've basically finished my business. I'll take a day off tomorrow. I also wish you all a Happy New Year in advance. I'll send you all a red envelope." Lu Feng opened the drawer, took out a stack of red envelopes, and then froze when he squeezed them in his hand, forgetting to put money inside.
Everyone had already stood up and gone to the desk, ready to receive a red envelope and leave.
Lu Feng coughed awkwardly, took out a red envelope and handed it over, saying, "Here's a red envelope for everyone. Put some money in it yourself. Happy New Year!"
One person took a red envelope and walked out. Du Guoying muttered to herself, "That's too stingy."
"Stop talking nonsense and get going!" Zhu Lidong gave him a light kick.
Around 5 p.m., as the sun began to set, Lu Feng quickly packed his things, called Jiang Xiaoyan, and went to pick up Duo Duo, who was on winter vacation today.
When they arrived at the school gate, a large group of children were walking out in a noisy stream, blocking the street. When the security guard saw Lu Feng, he hurriedly called out, "Mr. Lu, Duoduo is in the principal's reception room."
Lu Feng went to the principal's reception room. The principal was a man in his thirties who warmly shook Lu Feng's hands, inviting him to dinner and promising to arrange for Duo Duo to be placed in the best class next year.
"Thank you, Principal. This child is a bit mischievous, so you don't need to give him special treatment. Just tell the teacher to give him a slap if necessary," Lu Feng instructed.
"How could that be? Such a good child. Besides, children are just innocent and don't understand anything." The principal smiled rather awkwardly.
As soon as she finished speaking, a woman in her thirties walked in, pulling a child along, and said, "Are you Principal Wang? This child has been scammed. He was given some pocket money, and the kids in his class swindled it all away. It wasn't a small amount; it was a whole ten yuan!"
"I wasn't scammed! I'm about to get connected to the internet, don't delay me!!!" The child's face was full of reluctance as he kept making a fuss.
"What website? What website is so valuable? Tell me, who! Who took your money? Did we think our money grew on trees?" the woman scolded.
Lu Feng stood there, looking at the child, then at Duo Duo, a feeling creeping into his heart...
Sure enough, the boy pointed at Duoduo and said, "Duoduo said she'd get me internet access!"
"Is this your child? It's this Duoduo again!!!" The woman's voice was exceptionally sharp.
Lu Feng's face darkened, and he glared at Duo Duo, shouting, "You'd better go home and wait to get a beating with a shoe!"
After much difficulty, she managed to get all the children's money refunded, totaling over 500 yuan. Fortunately, she didn't squander the money; the 500 yuan was mostly still there.
Back in the car, Lu Feng stared at her, puzzled, and asked, "How do you know about the internet?"
"I saw it on TV, and you also attended the Internet Conference," Duoduo muttered softly.
"Then why did you cheat people out of their money? What kind of problem is this? I've told you this problem so many times, but you still can't change it, can you? If you continue like this, the worst you'll get when you grow up is life imprisonment, understand?" Lu Feng shouted at her.
This time I'm really annoyed; the child has been miseducated.
"I didn't lie to them. I told them I could connect a net to their heads. The net is amazing, but it requires a certain number of people to connect. I didn't spend any money. I'll keep that money for other things. I told them that as long as they buy my snacks and are on good terms with me, I'll give them priority in connecting the net. I'll use their money to buy snacks and sell them to them." Duoduo said with a face full of frustration, sitting in the passenger seat.
"They still have money to buy your snacks?" Lu Feng asked in surprise.
"If you don't have the money, we'll deduct it from the ten yuan internet connection fee!"
Lu Feng rubbed his face. This thing was practically a spirit. He couldn't help but say, "You used a 'concept' to trick people into investing money, making them fawn over you and buy the overpriced snacks you bought with their money. You, you're going to get a beating!"
