Chapter 476: Chapter 476: The Female Driver
Liang Sheng was even more favored in President Ge’s eyes than General Liu, the main executive officer.
General Liu was responsible for production and managent, serving as President Ge’s top general.
anwhile, Liang Sheng was in charge of dealing with local governnt officials and coordinating relationships in all aspects, effectively being President Ge’s confidant.
Even Director Zhao had to be extrely polite when he saw Boss Liang, as President Ge was a dragon-seen-head-but-not-the-tail figure, not often appearing in Zhengyang. It was mostly Boss Liang who acted under his banner.
Boss Liang exchanged a few words with a smile to the people from Shinra, then arrived at the gatehouse.
At that mont, his deanor changed, speaking without a trace of a smile, “Please inform Feng Sheng that Liang Jinlong from Fu Hong Group is here to visit.”
...
The gatekeeper was aware of Fu Hong Group and imdiately used the intercom to call Feng Jun.
Liang Jinlong waited for a while and beca puzzled when he saw that the gatekeeper didn’t open the gate, “Why aren’t you opening the gate?”
The gatekeeper glanced at him indifferently, “President Feng didn’t instruct to open the gate, please wait a mont.”
After waiting for a few minutes, a Jeep ca driving up the mountain road; a young woman got out and said, “Open the gate.”
The gate opened just a crack, and the gatekeeper waved to Liang Jinlong, “Please co in.”
Boss Liang looked at the small opening in the gate and then at his rcedes, “Can’t my car co in?”
The gatekeeper replied with a forced smile, “President Feng has already sent a vehicle to pick you up, so there’s no need for your car to co in, right?”
Liang Jinlong thought about it and agreed, but for so reason, he felt like sothing wasn’t quite right.
The woman opened the rear door for Boss Liang, waited for him to get in, then got into the driver’s seat and drove into the mountains.
While admiring the scenery on both sides, Boss Liang asked, “Miss, what is your honored surna?”
The driver, focused on the road, responded to his question, “No honor there, last na Li.”
Boss Liang frowned, “How long have you been driving… not very long, I presu?”
The driver was Li Shishi, and it wasn’t just that she hadn’t been driving long – she didn’t even have a driver’s license. With an abundance of cars in the estate, she practiced with them daily. However, her driving skills were, to put it mildly, akin to the notorious female driver stereotype, inferior to Sister Hong’s and Feng Jing’s, and certainly not up to Zhang Caixin’s level.
But after all, there were no traffic police in the estate, and nobody would check her for that.
Driving nervously, she refused to concede, “Been learning for two months now.”
As the Jeep made a turn, the deceleration was a bit too gentle. Boss Liang leaned to the side, feeling… a little carsick.
Even facing a beautiful woman, he couldn’t help furrowing his brows, “With driving skills like this, Feng Sheng sent you to pick up?”
Who was Li Shishi? A truthful person. Already tense just focusing on driving, upon hearing this criticism, she imdiately replied, “I didn’t want to either, but since your car couldn’t co in, I had no choice but to pick you up.”
Liang Jinlong’s lips twitched, damn, I thought being picked up by a car was a gesture of respect. Turns out… they just didn’t want my car to co in?
Feeling displeased, by the ti he saw the villa, he grew increasingly disdainful: What kind of architecture was this? Just a nouveau riche’s taste!
Just as he was contemplating, the car ca to an abrupt stop, and he almost collided with the back of the seat in front of him.
It’s better to leave unsaid the experience of that ride; feeling annoyed, he followed Li Shishi into the villa.
The interior of the villa, at least the grand hall, was decently decorated, but in his eyes, it was far too shabby.
The Miss Li led him to the grand hall’s sofa and waved to a young man there, “This is our President Feng.”
Feng Jun stood up and shook hands with the guest, smiling as he said, “Boss Liang, is it? Please take a seat. Xiao Bin… serve the tea.”
Another beautiful woman ca over and presented Boss Liang with a cup of tea.
But Boss Liang felt even less happy. Green tea? Why wasn’t it Kung Fu Tea?
Indeed, green tea wasn’t inferior to Kung Fu Tea, but Kung Fu Tea required more elaborate preparation, making green tea seem… less formal in comparison.
Looking at the young man in front of him, so young it was infuriating, he felt even more upset. Damn it, this greenhorn had co all this way and even subjected to a roller coaster ride?
After sitting down, he didn’t bother with pleasantries and directly addressed the matter, “President Feng, you know why I’ve co, don’t you?”
As the second-in-command of Fu Hong Group in Zhengyang, he had the confidence to speak this way. It didn’t matter if he was facing Feng Jun or city officials; he dared to be so direct. His own face might be nothing special, but he represented the face of President Ge, which was significant.
Feng Jun was aware that this man represented President Ge, but he still lifted his chin in response, “Why don’t you tell about it?”
Liang Jinlong felt his anger rising, but having worked with President Ge for so long, he still had keen judgent. Regardless of how much the other party might show neglect, whether genuine arrogance or feigned, he had to go over the details of the matter one more ti.
Of course, in this process, he definitely had to emphasize President Ge’s wishes.
After he finished speaking, he stared at Feng Jun, waiting to see what he would say.
Feng Jun remained silent for a while before he frowned slightly. “Are you done?”
Liang Jinlong nodded. “Yes, that’s it.”
“Well, that puzzles ,” Feng Jun said slowly, “I can understand President Ge wanting to help a friend—who doesn’t have friends? But why didn’t he co to directly and instead had the city co talk to ?”
Do you think you’re so important that President Ge should co to you? Boss Liang’s mouth twitched into a smirk that was anything but warm. “President Ge has been away from Zhengyang recently, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for us to visit him rashly. We were just hoping the city could help coordinate things quickly, that’s all.”
After pausing for a mont, he spoke seriously, “If this has caused any inconvenience to President Feng, I can offer an apology on behalf of the Fu Hong Group. We truly didn’t an to.”
Feng Jun gave a cold laugh. “So if I reached out to a few dia outlets and had them run continuous stories on the string of suicides at Fu Hong Group, that would be unintentional too, right? Would an apology suffice then?”
Liang Jinlong’s face turned pale instantly. This was a scar that Fu Hong Group did not want to face.
He looked at Feng Jun, his voice turning colder, “You can’t equate the two issues… an apology can’t solve everything.”
“I know,” Feng Jun nodded, his response casual, “It’s just hefty compensation, right? It’s not the first ti for your company.”
Liang Jinlong narrowed his eyes, “Those hefty compensation demands we faced were with opponents who chose their own demise.”
Feng Jun lit a cigarette and took his ti responding, “I believe it, but… did all those who jumped have chosen their own demise?”
Liang Jinlong’s voice grew even more icy. “It seems you have quite an issue with President Ge?”
“What issue could I possibly have with him,” Feng Jun sneered, “What I want to know is, I’m just renovating so wasteland, and he sends soone to turn a human vegetable into a patient… how have I provoked him?”
Are we even talking about the sa thing? Liang Jinlong was stunned for a mont before realizing the logic, “But President Ge’s intention was good, wanting to help a friend. It’s true that you cured Minister Yuan, isn’t it?”
“What does his good intention have to do with ?” Feng Jun retorted coldly, “The reason I agreed to see you today was to have you deliver a ssage… He can play however he wants, but Feng’s favors are not his to give!”
Liang Jinlong finally understood, but it was because of this understanding that he truly beca angry. His face grew stern as he asked, “You think President Ge isn’t worthy of extending this favor, is that it?”
Feng Jun grinned mockingly, “Do you think he’s worthy? Have I eaten his family’s rice?”
Liang Jinlong’s face darkened completely. “President Feng, one last question. Are you certain… you want to make things difficult for President Ge?”
“Can you speak like a normal person?” Feng Jun’s face also darkened, “You co to my door to say I’m making things difficult for him?”
“Let’s leave it at that, then,” Liang Jinlong stood up decisively, “I believe we’ve had enough discussion. If there’s nothing else, I will take my leave… oh, and could you change the driver?”
“Hold on,” just then, a woman sitting on a sofa nearby spoke up.
This woman was slightly older, but still charming. She looked at Liang Jinlong with a hint of suspicion. “Is the President Ge you’re talking about the one from Fu Hong?”
Boss Liang glanced at her, cursing inwardly. President Feng sure knew how to enjoy life, with many high-quality won in his estate. Even this older woman had a special charm.
However, he was not in the mood to appreciate any beauty at the mont, and he quickly realized sothing. Despite her calm and forthright manner of speaking, for so reason she instilled a trendous pressure in him.
What was the reason? He quickly realized—it was her composure.
Too composed. She talked about President Ge as if she was ntioning “Tiedan from next door,” without any emotion, without awe or disdain, extrely indifferent.
This woman is a big deal! Liang Jinlong instinctively made that judgnt. She may not have had a strong presence, but as the saying goes, only a great hero is true to their color.
That saying applies to won, too. The so-called “one’s comportnt reflects their nature and environnt,” one does not need to deliberately show off anything, as they naturally have their own grace.
Specifically, at this mont, to ntion President Ge of Fu Hong and to do so neither humbly nor arrogantly, to be as natural as a breeze or as light as a cloud, one with such a mindset could not possibly be a nobody.
He hesitated for a mont and then nodded, his response as indifferent, “Yes, that’s him.”
After years of hard work, Liang himself had made his way up and was also cultivating his own deanor. He did not intend to provoke her, but in this situation, he was very interested in learning from her attitude as a way to polish his own presence.
Therefore, he did not take the initiative to ask what she intended to do.
The woman fell silent for a while before speaking again in a calm tone, “President Ge should focus on his own business; there’s no need to distract himself with too much.”
Liang Jinlong remained silent, thinking that it was just his luck—what he feared had co true. This woman… she dared speak to President Ge like that?
He hesitated for a mont and then asked with a heavy voice, “May I ask your distinguished na?”
“I’m just a nobody, nothing distinguished about ,” the woman replied unperturbed, “I’ve only t President Ge twice in Beijing. He sold a set of knife coins and invited to go to Paris, but I didn’t have the ti then.”
Liang Jinlong frowned in thought for a mont before his face turned utterly pale.
