Lu Feng did not wait for Zhang Yun and Lin Feng beside him to speak further.
"I'm leaving now." He immediately got up, glanced back at the资料室 (zīliào shì - document room), and then quickly departed.
"Do you want me to escort you?" Lin Feng, understanding Lu Feng's intentions, felt his anxiety and concerns instantly dissolve.
Lu Feng grinned and immediately shook his head.
"No need. Brother Lin, you and President Zhang should continue with the remaining matters. Besides, if Zhang Ke sees us, the program's effect won't be as strong as anticipated."
Since Lu Feng was determined, Lin Feng did not impose his will.
"Alright," his gaze fell on Zhang Yun, "Then shall we head to Taitung now?"
Zhang Yun nodded vigorously. Although he was now the head of the group, he was largely unaware of Lu Feng's series of maneuvers. Naturally, he had to rush back immediately to sort these matters out.
Coming down from upstairs, Lu Feng boarded a bus.
After several turns, Lu Feng arrived at Zhang Ke's location fifteen minutes later.
"Hello, my name is Lu Feng. May I see your chairman? We've met before."
Upon hearing this, the receptionist nodded slightly. "Mr. Lu, please rest here for a moment. I will go and inform them."
After settling Lu Feng, the person immediately turned and headed towards the elevator.
However, Lu Feng stopped him. "Miss, if your chairman is unwilling to see me, please relay a message for me."
"What message?"
Noticing the receptionist's brow furrowing slightly, Lu Feng leaned forward slightly and whispered a few words into her ear.
Watching the receptionist, who was wearing high heels, disappear into the elevator, Lu Feng leisurely returned to the lounge.
Meanwhile, in Zhang Ke's office upstairs, the atmosphere was exceptionally lively.
Present were not only Zhang Ke but also Dong Hua.
"Godfather, the friend you introduced this time is truly amazing."
Dong Hua was referring to Zhang Yun. Seeing Zhang Ke, he quickly said, "Godfather, this person is now our benefactor. Why not let him join us so we can celebrate properly?"
Before he could finish, Zhang Ke immediately interrupted.
"Godson, you are unaware of this."
"How so?" Zhang Ke's reaction indeed left Dong Hua somewhat confused and bewildered.
However, Zhang Ke remained composed.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, followed by a cold smile.
"This is something you need to learn. Although your Dong family is indeed prosperous now, when it comes to business, your godfather has some unique experiences accumulated over the years.
"Think about what we are doing now. We are celebrating here, but my subordinates are continuously manipulating the Lin family's stock. If one more person were involved, the profit would have to be divided by another tenth."
Suddenly enlightened, Dong Hua's face showed a knowing smile.
"I must admit, Godfather's foresight is remarkable. However, Godfather, it seems the Lin family is now just a mess. Why are you so focused on this?"
Zhang Ke spoke frankly, "Godson, I am not like you. You hate Lu Feng, I know that, but your godfather seeks status in Southeast City. I don't fear being shameless. Do you think I am doing this for myself? I am already old. What use is there in saying more?"
Speaking thus, Zhang Ke's tone became unusually earnest. "I am doing this for one purpose: for my son. After I am gone, I don't ask for great wealth for my son. I only ask for one thing: that he can maintain the foundation his father has built. That would be enough."
Dong Hua shook his head a few times. "They say parents' hearts are full of care. Godfather, you have truly shown me."
"Is that so?" Zhang Ke had just finished speaking these words to Dong Hua and was about to add a few more.
"Knock, knock."
Just then, a few knocks were heard from the door behind them. Dong Hua immediately stepped forward.
"Godfather, such matters should be handled by your godson."
Dong Hua was in a good mood now. What was wrong with being a godson?
Even if he were to be a dog in front of Zhang Ke, he wouldn't have much resistance in his heart.
Because no matter what role he played, from this moment on, everything belonging to the Dong family would be his.
Zhang Ke did not stand on ceremony and moved aside.
"Is there something?" Seeing the female receptionist standing outside the door, Dong Hua couldn't help but raise his voice.
The receptionist's voice was calm. "There is a Mr. Lu Feng downstairs who claims to know Chairman Zhang and wishes to see Chairman Zhang. What do you think?"
Upon hearing the name, Dong Hua couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Godfather, this time, that kid from the Lin family is likely at his wit's end, coming to beg for mercy. What do you think, Godfather?"
Zhang Ke had already fallen out with the Lin family over this matter.
Although Lu Feng now had no connection to the Lin family, this kid was undoubtedly a stray dog. In his eyes, such a person had no further value.
When doing business, he always prioritized profit.
Zhang Ke waved his hand, his gaze slowly falling on the receptionist. "You, go and tell him now that I am very busy and do not have time to see ordinary people."
After speaking, he prepared to close the door.
But the person in front of him did not seem to intend to leave immediately.
"What's going on?" Is he not even listening to my words?
Zhang Ke's brow furrowed slightly, and a hint of displeasure flickered across his face.
The receptionist said, "Chairman Zhang, no, Mr. Lu said that if Chairman Zhang doesn't see him, he has a message for you to relay."
Just one sentence, he wanted to see what this kid was up to.
"Speak."
With Zhang Ke's permission, the receptionist relayed the message truthfully and without reservation.
"That person said that if you don't see him, it's best to pay close attention to the Lin family's stock market. Those who can withdraw their investments in time should leave quickly. Although it's impossible to withdraw completely in a short period, the less you lose, the better. Otherwise, when the time comes, it will be a complete loss."
"Hahaha!" Zhang Ke burst into laughter upon hearing this.
He quickly turned to look at Dong Hua beside him. "See? This kid is still struggling. I suspect this is Lu Feng colluding with the Lin family to put on a show. Old man Lin Dong probably knows that the Lin family cannot do without Lu Feng now, so he begged this kid to return."
"Godfather is wise."
Dong Hua nodded slightly. If it weren't for this explanation, he wouldn't have known how to interpret the situation.
"Alright, go and tell him that this is useless and ask him to leave quickly."
The receptionist was merely a messenger. Seeing Zhang Ke's insistence, she could only comply.
"Lu Feng, I will not see him today, no matter what."
Zhang Ke's eyes were filled with firmness and resolve. He was planning to accept the Lin family's assets later, so he had no time to chat with Lu Feng here.
