Every time Lü Feng came to see him, Zhang Yun could vaguely sense that the man was up to no good.
As Lü Feng spoke, he was at it again.
Especially during such a sensitive period.
How could Zhang Yun not be afraid?
Zhang Yun had planned to leave before Lü Feng arrived at his office.
But now it was too late.
Although the office was a suite,
with two doors, they shared a corridor.
If he went out now, he would definitely run into Lü Feng directly.
Since he couldn't leave, it was better to stay put.
Zhang Yun scanned his surroundings, his gaze finally landing on a desk behind him.
At the same time, he curled his body up under the desk.
His secretary had brought people in. If they couldn't see him, they would say he had gone out.
If no one was there, Lü Feng would naturally leave.
Although this action of his was extremely dishonorable, as the head of a group, it made him seem to have no bottom line or proper dignity.
But Zhang Yun felt he was surrounded by enemies now. What did he care about face?
If he didn't do this, his future path would definitely be difficult.
No! He might not even have a future.
Thinking of this, in order to protect himself,
the man immediately acted swiftly.
As soon as his body was curled up under the desk, the door was pushed open by his secretary.
Lin Mei looked around the office. Seeing no one inside, she couldn't help but frown.
"Director Zhang isn't here?"
The secretary guarding outside had been following Lin Mei and Lü Feng since the elevator stopped on this floor.
Before this, she had been in Zhang Yun's office.
She could confirm that Zhang Yun had indeed been there not long ago.
Seeing the scene before her, she had no explanation other than confusion.
She tilted her head. "Did Director Zhang go out?"
"Since he went out, let's wait here."
Lü Feng was about to follow the secretary out of the room, intending to wait quietly outside the door, but at this moment,
his peripheral vision caught sight of something under the desk in front of him.
Lü Feng immediately stopped, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth, and he chuckled inwardly.
Clearly, someone was hiding under the desk, because a pair of shoe heels could be seen through the gap.
Following normal logic, no one would take off their shoes and place them in such a spot.
Zhang Yun probably thought he had come to settle accounts.
He probably also heard the rumors outside and believed that the entire Lin family was already in disarray.
Upon hearing footsteps, he clearly mistook them for others from the Lin family.
Because the cash flow was blocked, these people were going to settle the score with Zhang Yun.
To save Zhang Yun some face, Lü Feng calmly persuaded the secretary beside him to leave.
Noticing that Lü Feng did not intend to leave,
Lin Mei, standing beside him, muttered.
"Lü Feng, isn't Director Zhang here? What are we doing?"
Lü Feng's lips curved slightly.
He leaned close to Lin Mei's ear and whispered.
"I'll show you a magic trick. Believe it or not, I'll make Director Zhang appear in the next second."
Wasn't this wishful thinking?
Lin Mei shook her head.
At this moment, Lü Feng raised his voice, "Currently, the Lin family's ability to overcome this crisis is all thanks to Director Zhang of Taidong Group for blocking the cash flow. We are looking everywhere for this great benefactor. We even wanted to thank him properly. If he's not here, then so be it!"
After speaking, Lü Feng pretended to stride out of the office.
Under the desk, Zhang Yun, who heard these words, was so excited that he couldn't control his body.
He shot up as if electrocuted.
His eyes wide, he asked.
"What did you say?"
This sudden voice, like a ghost, startled Lin Mei.
"Director Zhang, you're here!"
Zhang Yun heard Lin Mei's voice, but he had no other thoughts at the moment.
"What did you just say about the Lin family?"
Lü Feng looked indifferent.
"They've overcome the crisis!"
"Really?" Zhang Yun clearly didn't believe it, and dared not believe it. He hadn't been out of touch with the media.
Just half an hour ago, all the media outlets were still constantly predicting the Lin family's downfall.
So quickly, in the blink of an eye, had the situation changed?
Lü Feng saw through his suspicion at a glance.
"Director Zhang seems to be too excited. If you don't believe me, why don't you check the news on your phone yourself?"
Reminded by these words, Zhang Yun immediately opened his phone without a second word.
As expected, when he saw the first push notification about the Lin family on his phone,
he immediately rubbed his eyes vigorously.
This, this!
Countless words, like a volcano about to erupt, were about to surge from the depths of his throat.
But his tongue felt as if it were tied in knots.
It was true.
It seemed that the two people in front of him had not lied to him, nor had they come to settle any scores.
Since that was the case, Zhang Yun's last trace of apprehension vanished like it was swept away by a strong wind.
He tidied his collar and tie, which had been askew from his hasty dive under the desk.
Zhang Yun, no longer looking so disheveled, said, "So, you two are really here to thank me."
Lü Feng did not hide anything, nor did he exaggerate.
He nodded with certainty.
Zhang Yun was self-aware. Upon hearing this, his face immediately broke into a series of extremely awkward smiles.
He hadn't forgotten what this was all about.
His act of intercepting the Lin family's cash flow was essentially a helpless move under Lü Feng's strong pressure.
The word "thank you" was too heavy; he couldn't bear it.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yun looked at Lü Feng.
"No need for thanks. As an old man like me, I can only do odd jobs now. If it weren't for your keen insight and foresight, Lü Feng, how could this have happened today!"
Although these words sounded like flattery, they were Zhang Yun's most genuine thoughts.
With these words, it meant that from this moment on, Zhang Yun had completely dropped his pretense in front of him and was being open and honest.
Lü Feng took a few steps forward.
"Director Zhang, please don't say that. If Director Zhang insists on not accepting, I can't do anything about it. Today, besides thanking you, I also need to ask Director Zhang for a favor."
Lü Feng was now Zhang Yun's benefactor.
How could Zhang Yun refuse?
"Just say it, whatever you need. As long as I can do it, I will help."
This was the concise yet powerful statement Lü Feng wanted.
"Good."
Then he relayed the conditions promised to the elders who went to find Lin Dong of the Lin family.
Hearing this, Zhang Yun's enthusiasm immediately increased.
"Lü Feng, this is something that will bring us glory!"
Acquiring the assets of Zhou Ge Mountain Villa was a domineering and satisfying matter.
Although this Tang Sheng Tang did not directly harm him, he himself had almost become an indirect victim.
If the Lin family was gone, would he, as chairman, still have a possibility of existence?
"Alright, you two wait a moment. I'll check it out now. Once the money is in, I'll bring people to do it personally. We must teach this Tang Sheng Tang a lesson!"
"Good," seeing Zhang Yun so excited.
A hint of determination flashed across Lü Feng's brow.
"Let's do it!"
