Sensing the anticipation filling Tang Shengtang's heart, the man couldn't help but lower his head, looking like a frost-bitten eggplant, not daring to make a sound.
"What's going on?" Seeing this situation, Tang Shengtang became even more impatient.
However, under Tang Shengtang's dagger-like gaze, the man lowered his head even further.
Lu Feng seized the opportunity to add, "President Tang, since you are the president of the entire group, I don't think you should make things difficult for him. Didn't you hear what I just said?"
This remark was not only ill-timed but also sounded malicious to Tang Shengtang.
Tang Shengtang was already extremely displeased with Lu Feng, and now Lu Feng's few words had completely enraged him. He couldn't help but lash out at Lu Feng.
"When I'm talking to my own people, is it your place to speak?" After saying this, he immediately turned his head to look at the man in front of him, this time with an expression that demanded an answer.
The man had no choice but to tell the truth, one by one.
"What did you say, you brat?" Tang Shengtang, without any further ado, grabbed the man by the collar and twisted it tightly.
This was no mere piece of news.
If his business had suffered losses, he wouldn't have cared, but this was not about business losses.
This was crucial enough to affect his entire group. Now that he had failed to trap the young man in front of him and had been outmaneuvered by him, how could he explain himself to his superiors? How could he resolve his financial predicament?
As a result, Tang Shengtang had already forgotten where he was and what his identity was.
Zhang Yun, standing next to Lu Feng, couldn't help but chuckle and looked at Lin Mei and Lu Feng.
"Mr. Lu, Miss Lin, this guy brought this upon himself. This guy caused so much suffering to Old Master Lin, and today this is his lesson."
Lu Feng did not respond, because the lesson was far from over.
Tang Shengtang was lost in his own world, and Lu Feng's two coughs interrupted his thoughts.
"Let's talk business now."
Having been played by someone, Tang Shengtang had no mood to talk business. He couldn't help but shout, "Someone, get these people out of here."
Upon hearing this, a group of security guards instantly converged from all directions like a tide, forming a human wall around Lu Feng and Lin Mei.
Before these people could get close, Lu Feng continued, "President Tang, you should understand your current situation now. If you cooperate with me, I believe the Lin family will not treat you unfairly."
Since he had come here, he had naturally tried his best to figure out Tang Shengtang's current predicament beforehand.
At this moment, Tang Shengtang was likely beyond help.
At this time, the man's only hope was himself. This was why Lu Feng was so confident that the man would continue to do business with him.
This reason was quite sufficient.
Because the man had no other choice.
After being pointed out by Lu Feng, Tang Shengtang's previously confused and rage-filled mind suddenly became clear.
Indeed, it didn't matter what the young man had said before, but this statement had hit the mark.
For the Zhouge Group to continue to survive, there were only two paths. One was to clear the debts, which would allow him to maintain self-operation. This way, he would have an explanation for himself, and he could even use it as an excuse to appease those above.
The second path was to wait for rescue from above. However, since he had messed things up now, it was impossible for anyone above to provide him with financial support. In such a situation, it was already a great kindness that this person did not punish him.
Tang Shengtang still had a large family to support, especially his son, and his two wives.
He had worked hard to reach this point.
He didn't want to let go of the wealth and the life he was about to enjoy so easily.
He hadn't lived enough, nor had he enjoyed enough.
Lu Feng continued to present his views, "President Tang, I don't think you want to work so hard in your old age. Besides, businessmen are not suited for the workplace, I know this."
Absolutely true!
Once one had experienced the taste of making money quickly, wanting to go back to working for a living and accumulating hard-earned money bit by bit would be more unbearable than taking his life.
After weighing the pros and cons, Tang Shengtang finally decided to consider himself more in this matter.
Although the person above was his savior, he couldn't care about that anymore. Survival was his only goal.
He raised his eyes and looked at Lu Feng. The anger in his words was no longer as strong as before.
He commanded the security guards.
"Alright, you can go down now."
Seeing this, Lin Mei's anger finally began to subside.
She had finally avenged him.
She had witnessed it firsthand and had vented her anger.
Tang Shengtang now intended to invite them to the group's tearoom for further discussion.
However, Lu Feng did not have that much leisure time. On one hand, he came here to show this person his hand, to make him understand that he was not his opponent. On the other hand, he intended to get what he wanted from the person in front of him.
Venting anger, besides mere words, required the guarantee of benefits. Otherwise, the anger would not be properly vented, and Lu Feng would not be happy.
Lin Dong's heart ailment would not be cured either.
As a result, Lu Feng restrained his smile, his expression gradually becoming serious. At the same time, he reached out a hand towards Zhang Yun. Soon, Zhang Yun, understanding the meaning, took out a stack of contracts from his bag.
He handed these contracts to Tang Shengtang.
"President Tang, please take a look at these projects that you showed me last time. I think, no, our Lin family believes that these projects have great potential. Can you sell them to us now?"
Since Lu Feng wanted something,
He would not have much patience with Tang Shengtang. This person was not in a position to bargain with him.
"We can talk about it!"
Tang Shengtang said, while lowering his head to look at the contracts.
But as soon as he said this, upon seeing the amounts written on the contracts, boundless anger surged in his heart once again.
He had originally thought that the young man in front of him intended to reconcile with him after venting his anger, but now it seemed he had thought too much.
The contracts clearly stated prices that were less than one-third of the previous formal prices.
Wasn't this blatant robbery?
