Face is important, but so is money.
Ma Lin thought so to himself, but obviously he couldn’t say that out loud, after all, it was he who had slapped the card down, but he never imagined that Li Feng would actually spend it.
You’d have to be utterly shaless to pull that off.
No, that’s not right.
This guy simply had no sha at all—if he did, he wouldn’t be sponging off a woman, if he did, he wouldn’t beco a live-in son-in-law. What a miscalculation.
"Li, you stop acting all innocent after taking advantage."
"Exactly, how else can you say so people are just utterly shaless? Any person with a bit of backbone just couldn’t spend this money, no wonder he’s used to living off a woman, doesn’t feel a pinch when spending."
The few people next to Ma Lin started to gang up on Li Feng, and Ma Lin also cald down a bit—although the money was gone, it let everyone see this guy’s true face.
"Only over two million, I’m not like certain others who are so shaless. Keep the card, five million is just pocket change to ."
Ma Lin had a look of disdain, but inside he felt a twinge of pain. Who knows whether this bastard would continue charging to the card.
"Then I won’t be polite. I just happened to have invited a few beauties from the front desk for dinner, so I can save a bit now."
Having said that, Li Feng walked past the group.
"Unrivalled in the world for having no sha, this Li truly lives up to his reputation as a kept man."
"Five million, that’s my year’s allowance gone."
Ma Lin felt a bit of pain.
"Ma Lin, do you want to teach him a lesson?"
"Hmm, Liu De, what do you have in mind?" Ma Lin looked at Liu De, "This guy seems pretty good at fighting."
Liu De glanced at Ma Lin, his deanour shrinking back slightly, looking scornful inside. If it weren’t for this guy’s grandfather being a director at Century Group, he would be nothing.
"Fighting is for barbarians. There are plenty of ways to teach him a lesson."
"Oh?"
Ma Lin looked at Liu De, and the others also turned to look at him. "Liu De, enough with the suspense, spill it."
"Heh, that credit card is yours, right? With just one phone call, you could freeze the card, and isn’t this kid about to treat so ladies to dinner?"
Liu De glanced at Li Feng’s back and laid out the rest of the plan. Ma Lin and the others lit up on hearing it.
"Brilliant."
"Thinking of using my money to pick up chicks, heh, I’ll make him face public ridicule."
Ma Lin snickered coldly.
Li Feng entered the conference room, and imdiately it quieted down. Many eyes turned directly towards him, but just as quickly, they moved their gazes away as if Li Feng didn’t exist.
"Heh, this kid really dares to show up."
"Why wouldn’t he dare? He’s going to be the next chairman of Century Group, Century’s future godfather. He commands a huge amount of clout."
A man in his fifties glanced at Li Feng with a derisive sneer.
By now, the joke about Li Feng being the godfather of Century Group had spread throughout the Century Group, nearly everyone knew.
"It’s baffling how this guy has the luck to sit in that position. I don’t know if Chen is senile or what, to make such a preposterous move."
"What’s the use of talking about it now? Chen publicly revised his will, and there were lawyers and notaries present. Once Chen dies, the will cos into effect, and Chen’s shares will be held on his behalf—he’s now the company’s largest shareholder."
"Hmm, being the largest shareholder isn’t the sa as being a controlling major shareholder."
"That’s right, he is now the largest shareholder, but he only holds thirty-seven percent of Century Group’s shares. When Chen Muyang was in charge, with our support, he was the one calling the shots at Century Group."
"But now, it’s not a given. If we support soone else, this major shareholder won’t be able to hold that position."
"If he doesn’t hold that position, then who will take it?"
The directors exchanged glances, each an old fox with their calculations at this juncture. It was necessary for Li Feng not to beco the chairman, but who would take that seat was worth discussing.
And the interests involved here.
Li Feng sat at the conference table, and no one ca up to greet him. He didn’t recognize the directors present and had no intention of being warm to cold shoulders.
Just then, a beautiful woman in business attire walked into the conference room and approached Li Feng directly: "Director Li."
Li Feng turned his head, and his gaze coincidentally t the bending figure. That cleavage was quite profound.
"Sothing the matter?"
Bai Lingling, who he had encountered a few tis at previous receptions and even danced with once, was said to be the public relations manager of Century Group and a beauty of the company. At Century Group, she was a woman known for her charm.
"The Lady Chairman wishes to see you."
"Oh!"
Li Feng looked at Bai Lingling, noting that Han Xue, just before the board eting, wanted to see him.
"Sure, lead the way."
Bai Lingling stood up straight and twisted her body towards the door. Li Feng followed behind her, unable not to think about the woman’s silhouette; her figure was clearly well-maintained, her waist so slender it seed it could snap.
"Isn’t that Bai Lingling?"
This scene was clearly seen by Ma Lin and others outside the conference room. Seeing Bai Lingling, they also subconsciously swallowed their saliva. This woman was the flower of Century Group’s public relations, not only pretty but with a figure that could make any man’s blood boil.
Especially because she knew how to dress. Although not blatantly, she always managed to touch a man’s eager heart.
"Where is she taking that Li fellow?"
"Hmm, where else but to an office, a restroom, or perhaps even a fire escape? Bai Lingling is notoriously promiscuous. With Li Feng about to move up, why wouldn’t she climb up the proverbial pole and latch onto his leg?"
Liu De clearly envied and resented him, knowing that he also fancied Bai Lingling, having even pursued her publicly. However, Bai Lingling had always kept him at arm’s length.
She’s nothing but a glamorous flower passed around by many n, yet still prudish.
Perversely, the less he could have her, the more he desired her.
Seeing that Li Feng, that freeloader and bootlicker, might even get ahead of him, Liu De naturally felt bitter inside.
I chase you, and you won’t have it. Now, you’re actually throwing yourself at soone else.
After taking the elevator to the twenty-eighth floor, Bai Lingling led the way with Li Feng following behind. The two did not interact; traversing the corridor, Li Feng secretly heightened his alertness, distrustful that Chen Muyang would set a trap to finish him off.
Knock knock knock.
Bai Lingling arrived at a door and knocked directly.
"Co in."
Bai Lingling stood at the door, suddenly turned her head towards Li Feng, and said, "Be careful." Then, she pushed the door open.
"Lady, Li Feng is here."
Li Feng walked into the office and imdiately saw Han Xue standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Han Xue turned to Bai Lingling and said.
"Manager Bai, please leave. I’d like to talk to him alone."
