"Lin Feng, tell , what exactly is going on with you and Aoxue? Are you two dating?"
In the small room, Ning Fuxun looked at Lin Feng seriously, without beating around the bush, directly voicing his concerns.
"Dating? With your daughter?" Lin Feng looked at Ning Fuxun in surprise, smiled bitterly, "Brother Ning, are you drunk? My relationship with your daughter is very pure, and besides, her standards are so high, how could she possibly date soone like , an ordinary guy!"
After hearing Lin Feng’s sowhat self-deprecating words, Ning Fuxun’s eyes widened slightly. He looked at Lin Feng with an odd expression, laughed a few tis, and then said, "Lin Feng, you’re being dishonest! If soone like you doesn’t catch Aoxue’s eye, it’s not that her standards are high, it’s that there’s sothing wrong with her brain... Of course, I’m not saying she will definitely like you; that depends on your fate together, but if she can’t see you’re a rare talent after spending so long with you, then she really doesn’t deserve to be my daughter!"
Ning Fuxun’s words were both confident and bold, seemingly addressing Ning Aoxue’s judgnt, but actually revealing his own opinions about Lin Feng...
My daughter might not like you, but she will surely know you are talented; if she can’t see that, then there’s a problem with her judgnt...
That’s Ning Fuxun’s intent, casually flattering Lin Feng during the conversation...
This is a rchant’s habit, first flattering the other person to ease their defenses before discussing business; Ning Fuxun was subtly employing this business tactic to extract information from Lin Feng.
"Brother Ning... you’re too kind!" Lin Feng replied coyly, but inside he felt contemptuous. Ning Fuxun was really treating him like a naive rookie, thinking that with such tactics, Lin Feng would get all worked up and be led as he pleased?
"Ha ha, I’m just speaking the truth," Ning Fuxun nodded lightly. "I’ve navigated Jiangzhou’s business world for decades, and honestly, I’ve never seen soone as capable and daring as you!"
"Ha ha..." Lin Feng also chuckled, then stared at Ning Fuxun, seemingly casually asking, "Is that why you didn’t leave any operational funds for the martial hall?!"
"Lin Feng, what do you an by that?" Ning Fuxun’s eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Lin Feng and asked.
"Brother Ning, we’re quite familiar, so let’s not beat around the bush..." Lin Feng looked at Ning Fuxun calmly and said, "The Xinhai International martial hall project, I’ve already taken all the funds and docunts from Liu Heng. I discovered the funds are quite limited, barely enough for the renovation materials and labor costs, and the remaining portion barely covers the pre-paid fitness equipnt... Besides that, there’s no other budget! I want to ask, Brother Ning, did you not plan for any advertising budget, or are you not planning a grand opening ceremony?"
"So that’s what you’re talking about. I’m aware of the martial hall’s accounts which run on my personal funds, ensuring you won’t be unable to operate. Rest assured, I originally planned to allocate one million in start-up funds after the renovation is nearly complete in a month..." Ning Fuxun was about to explain his plan to Lin Feng, but suddenly froze, "Wait, Lin Feng, you just said you’ve already taken all the funds and project docunts from Liu Heng?! Why didn’t Liu Heng ntion this to ? How did you obtain those things?!"
Indeed, compared to the million start-up fund, Ning Fuxun was more concerned about how his loyal subordinate Liu Heng suddenly handed everything over to Lin Feng?!
Ning Fuxun strictly managed his subordinates, and although Liu Heng had worked under him for years, he should know his temperant; unless sothing unusual happens, Ning Fuxun was sure Liu Heng would never cross this line, handing everything over to Lin Feng just like that!
He seems determined to leave empty-handed! Ning Fuxun smirked inwardly, feeling Liu Heng was no longer the daring young man he once was; perhaps, it was ti for him to retire early!
"I don’t know how Manager Liu explained it to you..." Lin Feng waved his hand, chuckled, "Anyway, he bundled everything up for , so I accepted it..."
Lin Feng, being a man of his word, had vowed not to go after Liu Heng, nor did he bother to report his misconduct of drugging Zhu Xiuyue...
Ning Fuxun was initially angry, but seeing Lin Feng’s determined expression gave him pause; he secretly thought things might not be that simple, and that Lin Feng might have used so tricks on Liu Heng to make him hand over the project docunts?!
Ning Fuxun knew Lin Feng’s character, capable of such actions, and certainly had the ability to do so...
"Alright, I’ll call Liu Heng for a talk when I return to the company tomorrow!" Ning Fuxun waved his hand to montarily dismiss the topic, "Lin Feng, since you’ve already got full control of the martial hall project, everything is now your responsibility. I’ll have the finance departnt transfer one million in operation funds to the martial hall’s account tomorrow, and the rest is up to you... Everything will proceed according to our betting agreent; let’s see if you can earn that 20% stake!"
Seeing Ning Fuxun ease off the issue with Liu Heng so quickly, Lin Feng couldn’t help but admire Ning Fuxun as a decisive and capable man. Another boss would likely have started ranting, but Ning Fuxun remained steady, showing no sign of anger at all!
"Let’s get back to the earlier topic..." Ning Fuxun’s expression beca increasingly odd as he smiled at Lin Feng and asked, "To be honest, Yu Qing was tugging at my ear earlier, insisting I find out what’s going on between you and Aoxue; are you two boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Of course not..."
"Definitely not!"
As Lin Feng instinctively answered Ning Fuxun’s question, the small room door suddenly opened, and Ning Aoxue appeared behind it. She and Lin Feng almost simultaneously answered Ning Fuxun’s question!
