Inside the restroom.
"Young Master Feng," Liu Wanguan's respectful voice came.
"Old Liu, just say what you need to, I'm outside right now," Lu Feng nodded.
"It's like this, Young Master Feng. Ji Family Enterprise called and said they completely accept the cooperation terms and asked when the next round of talks would take place.
But the call wasn't from Miss Ji Xueyu. It was from a young man named Ji Hongyu, who said he's the contract representative for Ji Family Enterprise and will be in charge of all cooperation matters with Fengyu Real Estate from now on.
I'm calling to ask you, Young Master Feng, if this is your intention?" Liu Wanguan explained rapidly.
Lu Feng fell silent for a moment. What was this Ji Hongyu trying to do? Wasn't Miss Ji Xueyu supposed to be in charge of the contract? What did he have to do with it?
Could it be?
Lu Feng thought for a moment and grasped the crux of the matter. It seemed that Ji Leshan and his son were trying to snatch Ji Xueyu's credit!
This father and son were shameless enough to openly vie for credit like this.
"This is not my intention," Lu Feng's expression turned somewhat grim.
Lu Feng would pave the way for anything Ji Xueyu wanted and ensure her path was smooth.
But if Ji Leshan and the others wanted to be stumbling blocks, then he wouldn't hesitate to crush them.
"Young Master Feng, what should we do? Should we continue the cooperation with them?" Liu Wanguan asked cautiously.
"Fengyu Real Estate signed the contract with Ji Xueyu, not Ji Family Enterprise," Lu Feng said calmly.
"Old servant understands!" How could Liu Wanguan not grasp Lu Feng's meaning?
Lu Feng meant that this contract only recognized Ji Xueyu. It didn't matter which company she represented; as long as she signed it, cooperation could continue.
But if it were someone else, then too bad, who do you think you are?
"Wait for me at the company tonight. I'll discuss the company's plan and the matter of the nine million betrothal gift with you," Lu Feng instructed.
"Yes, old servant will await Young Master Feng," Liu Wanguan replied respectfully.
After hanging up, Lu Feng washed his hands by the sink and pushed the door open.
"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu..." Outside, by the public washbasin, Liu Xin looked at Lu Feng in a flustered manner.
Lu Feng was surprised. He hadn't expected Liu Xin to be here too. When did she arrive? She couldn't have heard the phone call, could she?
"I didn't expect such a coincidence," Lu Feng knew the matter of buying the car couldn't be hidden any longer and could only shake his head helplessly.
"Yes, I didn't expect it either. I'm using the commission from Mr. Lu buying a car to treat Mr. Lu to a meal," Liu Xin stuck out her small tongue, also feeling a bit speechless.
Then she quickly asked, "Mr. Lu, you're not short of money at all, why would you..." Liu Xin was genuinely curious.
Did such low-key, unpretentious billionaires truly exist in this world?
"I have my own plans," Lu Feng didn't elaborate, nodding before leaving the restroom.
Liu Xin stood frozen, her mind in turmoil.
Fengyu Real Estate, nine million betrothal gift. What Lu Feng had said just now in the restroom had deeply shocked Liu Xin.
This Lu Feng was either a madman or someone of incredibly terrifying status!
...
Lu Feng and Liu Xin returned to their seats one after another, and no one noticed anything unusual.
After all, they could never have imagined that Lu Feng and Liu Xin knew each other.
As soon as Lu Feng sat down, Xia Lan gave Zhang Chao a look. Zhang Chao understood and smiled, looking at Lu Feng.
"Brother Lu, if you ask me, it's not scary for a man to be incapable. The key is whether he's willing to strive, don't you think?"
"Only through striving can one achieve success!"
While saying these words, Zhang Chao was filled with disdain. What did Lu Feng's fate have to do with him? He was merely showing off his own superiority.
"Heh, but those who are born second-generation rich are more successful than many without even trying," Lu Feng smiled faintly.
"But are you second-generation rich? Do you even know your own weight?" Before Zhang Chao could speak, Xia Lan was the first to retort.
Ji Xueyu and Liu Xin both hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping themselves. Ji Xueyu always felt an inexplicable discomfort seeing Lu Feng being harassed like this.
But considering that Lu Feng staying unemployed all day wasn't a solution, she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
As for Liu Xin, she genuinely didn't want Xia Lan to offend Lu Feng too much because Lu Feng was too mysterious; he even gave her a sense of terrifying status.
If Xia Lan truly angered Lu Feng, she didn't know what the consequences would be.
"Second-generation rich? I'm not," Lu Feng rubbed his nose. Strictly speaking, he wasn't second-generation rich at all.
The Lu Family of Modu had accumulated wealth over three hundred years. By Lu Feng's generation, it had gone through several vicissitudes. In terms of seniority, Lu Feng could be considered third-generation rich, or even fourth-generation rich.
"Then that's settled. Since you're not second-generation rich, you have to strive on your own. I also started from scratch, and now I have a car, a house, and savings.
If you ask me, you should find a good job and slowly climb up. That's how you'll have a chance to succeed," Zhang Chao adopted an instructive tone.
Lu Feng could see it clearly. Zhang Chao was showing off his superiority in front of everyone, elevating his own status by belittling Lu Feng.
However, Lu Feng paid him no mind. He was just a clown, not someone Lu Feng would care about.
"By the way, Zhang Chao, aren't you the Purchasing Department Manager at your company? Do you have any suitable jobs to introduce to Lu Feng?" Xia Lan asked.
Although Xia Lan was straightforward and sharp-tongued, she had a good heart.
"You mean Huanyu Company? I've already resigned," Zhang Chao replied as if he had been waiting for Xia Lan to ask.
"What? Resigned? Why did you resign?" Xia Lan was taken aback, and then her face showed some embarrassment.
She had just called Lu Feng an unemployed loafer, and now she found out Zhang Chao had also lost his job.
If they were both unemployed, how could she criticize Lu Feng for lacking ambition?
Ji Xueyu and Liu Xin also looked at Zhang Chao with surprise. The treatment at Huanyu Company was quite good, and Zhang Chao was the Purchasing Department Manager. His annual salary must have been at least a million annual salary, right?
Why would he resign from such a good job?
Zhang Chao seemed to be deliberately keeping everyone in suspense. He picked up his teacup and took a sip. Once all eyes were focused on him, he spoke slowly.
"Because I've passed the three rounds of interviews at Fengyu Real Estate, and from now on, I'll be working at Fengyu Real Estate."
After saying this, Zhang Chao stopped speaking, because he knew what the name Fengyu Real Estate represented.
How terrifying those four words were, probably everyone in Jiangnan City knew.
As expected, Ji Xueyu, Liu Xin, and Xia Lan's eyes widened instantly. Even a hint of surprise appeared in Lu Feng's eyes.
So, this Zhang Chao had been pretending in front of him all this time, only to be his employee?
Lu Feng couldn't help but wonder how wonderful Zhang Chao's expression would be that evening if he saw himself sitting in the chairman's seat during the company meeting.
"No way, Zhang Chao, you passed Fengyu Real Estate's interview? Oh my god, that's amazing!" Xia Lan's eyes were filled with admiration.
If Zhang Chao had pursued her before, she might have considered it, but now, there was no need for consideration.
