"Done!"
Lin Hai's heart surged upon hearing this.
Although he was still sitting in the pavilion, he felt as if he were standing behind Lu Feng, witnessing Lu Feng's tragic defeat.
Meanwhile, six hours after Lin Hai had made arrangements for his subordinates, Lu Feng had been contemplating for a long time.
From the limited information, he couldn't figure out what Tang Shengtang of the Zhouge Group was planning next.
It was already noon.
Remembering that Lin Mei had asked him to take her out for lunch, Lu Feng slowly came back to his senses and walked towards Lin Mei's bedroom.
"Alright, get up, lazy pig!"
"Mmm!"
A low response came from the bedroom.
"Is it noon already?"
Lin Mei got up with a lazy expression.
"Yes!"
"Then let's go eat!"
While lying down, she hadn't felt it, but once she woke up, Lin Mei was indeed hungry.
A moment later, the two of them left the villa and went to a nearby commercial street.
"This grilled fish is quite good!"
Lin Mei had been here more than a hundred times.
Seeing the familiar cloth sign swaying gently in the breeze, Lin Mei couldn't help but say so.
Lu Feng was never picky about food. Nodding, the two quickly entered and were about to sit down in a spot with a pleasant environment.
However, at that moment, a slightly hoarse voice came from their side.
This voice!
Lu Feng's hearing was very sharp.
The voice gave him a sense of familiarity in an instant.
He turned his head.
Indeed, it was him.
Now, whether by coincidence or intentionally, Tang Shengtang had followed the two of them.
He suddenly appeared before him and Lin Mei.
"Yo, isn't this the eldest daughter of the Lin family?"
Tang Shengtang spoke politely.
Seeing this, Lin Mei immediately stood up and replied politely.
"Mr. Tang, why are you here?"
For a big boss of a group, it seemed unlikely he would appear in a place like this.
Tang Shengtang chuckled, seeing the surprise in Lin Mei's eyes.
"If Miss Lin can come here, why can't I?"
"That's true, that's true."
Before Lin Mei could finish speaking, Tang Shengtang glanced at the person beside him and continued, "This is my assistant. And this gentleman is?"
After speaking, his gaze fixed on Lu Feng.
"Oh, this is Lu Feng, Mr. Lu. He is my savior and my boyfriend!"
Lin Mei said it casually, feeling nothing wrong with it.
But Lu Feng's nerves tensed up upon hearing this.
This girl, really.
However, the moment this title entered his ears, it sounded quite pleasant.
"Oh, so it's the famous dark horse of Southeast City!"
Tang Shengtang's earlier confusion instantly turned into an indescribable and irrepressible admiration.
"No wonder, beauties have always loved heroes. You two are quite a match! How about this, since we all know each other, why don't we sit at the same table? Anyway, there's no one else here!"
"What do you say?"
The burly man then asked for Lin Mei and Lu Feng's opinion with unusual politeness.
"Lu Feng!" Lin Mei looked at Lu Feng.
It was just a meal. Although she had heard him say many hateful words from behind the partition at the hot spring that day, Lu Feng was not someone who couldn't tolerate anything.
Moreover, wasn't this the person he wanted to understand?
Now, this person had delivered himself to his doorstep.
Wasn't this more real and useful than any information?
With this thought, Lu Feng nodded without hesitation.
"Since Mr. Lu and Miss Lin have no objections, let's come over."
"Yes!"
The assistant nodded immediately.
A moment later, the table for two was merged into a large table by the waiters.
This was a rare opportunity, and since Lu Feng had created it, he would not let it go easily.
"I heard Mr. Tang plans to cooperate with the Lin family?"
Tang Shengtang picked up the peanuts that had been served on the table and said.
"Yes, as Mr. Lu should know by now, the overall economic environment is not as good as before. It's like beggars celebrating the New Year, worse every year. So, I've come to cling to the Lin family's tree."
With a few simple words, Lu Feng instantly grasped the man's background.
That day at the hot spring, when the Lin family was mentioned, this man had gritted his teeth.
Now, he was sitting with him and Lin Mei, acting like a completely different person.
It would be difficult to achieve this without a good mind and composure.
This Tang Shengtang was indeed not a simple character.
Lu Feng had originally intended to take this opportunity to get some clues from his words.
To alert Lin Dong.
Now, Lu Feng's hand, which had been hidden under the table since he agreed to share the table with Tang Shengtang, slowly returned to the tabletop.
This kind of person was not ordinary.
Using such a basic method would be impossible.
As a result, Lu Feng couldn't help but change his mind, considering this as his first interaction with the man.
With this thought, Lu Feng's purpose in speaking became less direct, and his content became more flexible and spontaneous.
"However, I remember your Zhouge Villa is quite large, Mr. Tang?"
Before Lu Feng could finish, Tang Shengtang immediately put on a worried expression.
"Alas, don't mention it. This villa has caused me a lot of trouble."
Speaking of this, the man wished he could shed tears on the spot.
"This villa, in the early years, was truly profitable."
"In the first few years, business was good, and many businessmen liked to patronize my place, making a lot of money. But I always felt that I had found my direction, so I expanded the villa a few years ago. But as you know, once the area increases, the costs also rise accordingly. And then, when the economy downturned."
"These hard assets that I held onto in the first few years have now all become liabilities. If I don't cooperate with the Lin family, I really can't find any way out!"
"Boss, you..."
The assistant whispered a few words to him.
Tang Shengtang smiled and said, "I've said too much, too much."
After saying this, the man changed the subject.
"However, you are both from the Lin family, and I am genuinely here to do business with your Lin family. Whether I say it or not, you will know sooner or later. Alright, let's eat!"
He glanced at the grilled fish that had been served.
Tang Shengtang put on his boss's demeanor.
"Alright, this meal is on me!"
