136 Tears

Wang Fugui?

Lin Qi had done some research on Huaijiang City before, and he knew that this man was a prominent figure in the underworld. How could he have offended him within just three days of taking office, without even having stepped out of his door?

Lin Qi tried to ask for the reason, but the two hotheads knew nothing at all. For small-time characters like them, it was normal to be kept in the dark. Lin Qi intended to ask Wang Fugui himself, but his schedule for the day was packed, so he had to let it go for now and head to work. As for the two hotheads, Lin Qi did not let them go; he fed them a little, gave them something to drink, and kept them tied up in the garage.

After arriving at the company and finishing the morning meeting, Lin Qi, accompanied by Secretary Hu, visited several municipal leaders and long-standing partners of Feihong Group. These partners were all renowned entrepreneurs in Huaijiang City, such as Chai Wuyan. Tang Long was not among them; he had not yet reached that level of status. However, he was getting close; Tang Long’s growth was rapid, and with a few more major contracts, he would be able to join the ranks of first-tier enterprises.

Luo Feifei had just signed a big contract with Feihong Group a few days ago, and today she had come to Fangyuan Group, hoping to secure another major deal. However, she had sought out several vice presidents, but they were all too busy to pay her any mind. Gritting her teeth, Luo Feifei decided to try her luck with Chai Wuyan. By all rights, her status was insufficient, but how would she know if she didn't try? Since the Longyue Group had moved to Huaijiang City, it had grown from nothing to its current state, and Luo Feifei deserved much of the credit. Relying on her indomitable spirit, she dared to approach anyone for negotiations. Whether it was through thick-skinned persistence or sheer tenacity, she had made it work.

But just as she stepped into the elevator, she bumped into Lin Qi. Although Lin Qi had already finalized a business plan to target Fangyuan Group, Chai Wuyan was still a partner of Feihong Group. Besides, to know one’s enemy is to be invincible; Lin Qi had to visit Chai Wuyan, so how could he avoid seeing his competitor?

Inside the elevator, the two locked eyes, both looking surprised. Lin Qi was genuinely astonished, wondering if he and Luo Feifei were truly fated to keep running into each other in various situations. Could it be that there was some predestined connection between him and this young lady?

However, Luo Feifei ignored Lin Qi entirely. Instead, she glared at him fiercely before turning her face away. A few days ago, Luo Feifei had been drugged by Shen Ze. Recalling the entire ordeal later, she remembered that Shen Ze had constantly tried to set her up with this new boss of Feihong Group. It didn't take much to figure out that it must have been this President Lin who instructed Shen Ze to do it! If it weren't for her brother-in-law, she would have fallen victim to this guy. Luo Feifei had initially had a good impression of him, thinking him approachable and kind, but now, seeing his face, she felt as disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly. Never mind saying hello; it took all her restraint not to slap him.

"He has the same name as my brother-in-law, but his character is worlds apart..." Luo Feifei muttered to herself, refusing to even glance at Lin Qi.

Lin Qi, on the other hand, was bewildered. He didn't understand what was wrong with Luo Feifei; hadn't they just exchanged greetings and business cards before? Secretary Hu stood to the side, looking from Luo Feifei to Lin Qi, seemingly understanding something, yet seemingly not understanding at all.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Luo Feifei hurried out, not wanting to spend another second with a person like President Lin.

Reaching the president’s office, Luo Feifei knocked gently on the door.

"Enter!"

Receiving permission, Luo Feifei immediately pushed the door open and saw Chai Wuyan sitting behind the desk.

"Hello, President Chai. I am Luo Feifei, Vice President of Longyue Group..."

Luo Feifei put on her professional signature smile, walked over with great politeness, and offered her business card.

Chai Wuyan had just received a call from Lin Qi saying he was coming for a visit, and he was waiting in a state of agitation—knowing the other party wanted to ruin him while lacking any ability to retaliate made him anxious. Suddenly, an unfamiliar woman walked in, leaving him feeling bewildered.

"Who are you, and how did you get in?!" Irritated, Chai Wuyan spoke in a very harsh tone.

"President Chai, this is my business card. I have previously collaborated with a branch under your group, and the security guards know me, so they didn't stop me. I came to see you this time to discuss a project that would be absolutely beneficial to your group..." As she spoke, Luo Feifei handed over her card and documents.

Luo Feifei was beautiful, her demeanor, manners, and speech were all very professional, and in recent years, the Longyue Group had become quite famous in Huaijiang City. Ordinarily, Chai Wuyan would have taken a look, but he was in no mood for that now!

"Who wants to see your project? Get out of here right now!"

Chai Wuyan roared and violently grabbed the documents on the desk, throwing them onto the floor with a "thwack."

*Clatter—*

The documents scattered all over the floor.

Luo Feifei froze for a moment, her eyes quickly welling up with tears. But she soon held back the tears, lowered her head to pick up the documents, and said, "President Chai must be busy, it’s quite alright. I will come to see you again next time; this project really is excellent..."
