Lin Feng and Su Ruoxi were both the type of people who got things done.
That very afternoon, they finished moving.
When Su Ruoxi had left her family home, she hadn’t taken much with her.
As she packed up her things back at the dorm, she realized most of her belongings were filled with memories of Lin Feng.
The more she packed, the warmer her heart felt.
So, while Lin Feng was at the dorm getting his things, he received another system notification that Su Ruoxi’s sense of security had increased by three percent.
’At this rate, won’t this mission be completed soon?’
Lin Feng thought to himself.
Just as he’d finished packing and was about to head out, Lin Feng ran into the "three work musketeers."
Jiang Chao looked puzzled, eyeing the suitcase Lin Feng was carrying. "Brother Feng, are you going on a trip?"
Yang Qiniang also looked over, curious. "The university’s job fair is tomorrow. You can’t just take off on a vacation!"
Cao Ming and Jiang Chao had been working in the company’s HR department recently.
Of course, they knew that Lin Feng placed a lot of importance on this campus-recruitment job fair.
He didn’t think Lin Feng was the type to be a hands-off boss at a time like this.
Lin Feng hadn’t expected to run into the three of them.
Or for them to misunderstand and think he was ditching his responsibilities to go on vacation.
"I just bought a duplex apartment a couple of days ago, right near the university."
"I’m moving in today."
"I’ll have you guys over for dinner at my new place sometime."
Lin Feng explained.
Before the others could react, Yang Qiniang let out a cry of disbelief. "Holy crap, Brother Feng, are you trying to make us feel bad?!"
"Lately, you’ve gotten a new car and now you’re buying an apartment. I know you made a lot from the United States stock market..."
"But at this rate, I’m starting to get green with envy!"
Lin Feng laughed and patted Yang Qiniang’s shoulder. "Don’t be so salty."
"From what I hear, if you can actually pull off that investment project you’re holding, you’ll make a good amount yourself."
"Enough to get a new watch, at least."
"Besides, when this month’s stock market profits are distributed, that’ll be another huge sum."
Hearing Lin Feng say that, Yang Qiniang instantly felt much better.
He thought about it and realized it was true.
Lin Feng was currently trying to temper and train Yang Qiniang.
The project he’d given Yang Qiniang was a medium-sized investment.
The scale was not small.
As long as Yang Qiniang had the appetite to handle this project, getting a Rolex worth over a hundred thousand would be no problem at all.
After Lin Feng left,
Cao Ming and Jiang Chao exchanged a look, then slung their arms over Yang Qiniang’s shoulders, weighing him down.
"I can’t believe Young Master Yang is making so much money. It would be an insult to our brotherhood if we didn’t squeeze a big dinner out of you tonight!"
Cao Ming said teasingly.
Yang Qiniang, knowing he was about to get a huge sum of money, was in high spirits.
He had no objection to spending a little money to treat them to a meal.
"I’ll treat you two to a good meal today, but tomorrow’s job fair will be up to you two to handle!"
Not long after Lin Feng returned to the apartment with Su Ruoxi,
before they even had a chance to unpack,
he received a call from an acquaintance.
"Xiaofeng, this is Yang Tianming. Are you free anytime soon?"
Lin Feng hadn’t expected Yang Tianming to call at this moment.
However, Lin Feng did a quick calculation and realized the one-month period he’d agreed upon with Yang Tianming was up.
"I’m free tomorrow morning. If you’re also free, Uncle Yang, I think we can meet then."
Yang Tianming immediately agreed on the other end of the line.
Lately, Yang Tianming had seen the changes in Yang Qiniang with his own eyes.
So, even though he had lost some talent from his company,
to Yang Tianming, the change in his own son was far more important.
Therefore, in his heart, Yang Tianming felt a certain degree of appreciation and gratitude toward Lin Feng.
Coincidentally, it had now been a full month since he had provided the investment funds.
Yang Tianming mainly wanted to use this opportunity to discuss his previous idea with Lin Feng again.
Yang Tianming’s attitude toward the investment firm his son and Lin Feng had started was now much more serious than before.
That’s why Yang Tianming had personally called Lin Feng to schedule a meeting.
For his part, Lin Feng had a vague idea of what Yang Tianming was thinking.
However, some things couldn’t be done according to Yang Tianming’s wishes.
"You take care of things at the apartment for the next couple of days. I’m going to be very busy with the company."
The next morning, after giving Su Ruoxi these instructions, Lin Feng headed out.
In Lin Feng’s view,
the tasks related to the apartment were all rather trivial matters.
Su Ruoxi had been on an emotional rollercoaster lately, and these tasks would be a good way to keep her busy.
In this regard,
Lin Feng was more than happy to be a hands-off manager.
The meeting place he’d agreed upon with Yang Tianming was a private club near the university.
Most of these private clubs operated under the guise of offering exclusive, home-style cuisine.
But in reality, they provided an elegant space for bigwigs to conduct business.
When Lin Feng arrived, Yang Tianming was already waiting for him.
A full spread of dishes had been ordered and laid out on the table.
But no one was here specifically to eat today.
Upon entering the room,
Lin Feng noticed that Yang Tianming had neither an assistant nor a secretary with him.
It was clear Yang Tianming had come alone.
"You’re here, Uncle Yang."
Lin Feng greeted Yang Tianming with a smile.
Seeing Lin Feng enter, Yang Tianming poured a cup of hot tea from the tea set on the table.
"Come, try my handiwork. See how this tea is brewed."
Yang Tianming had navigated the seas of commerce for many years.
His powerful aura always managed to leak out, even when he wasn’t trying.
Just like now.
Although Yang Tianming did his best to make his voice gentle and amiable,
his years of experience as a man in power still gave him an imposing presence that commanded respect without any show of anger.
The average person would not dare to accept this cup of tea.
But Lin Feng was not afraid of this.
Lin Feng walked over nonchalantly, picked up the cup, and took a slow sip.
"The aroma is rich, the liquid is clear... this is a rare, excellent tea. It must be a high-quality Yuqian Longjing."
Lin Feng said with a smile after closing his eyes to savor it for a moment.
Yang Tianming smiled and nodded. "No wonder your company is flourishing. You’re a very observant person."
Lin Feng smiled but said nothing, waiting for Yang Tianming to speak.
It was obvious Yang Tianming hadn’t invited him here just to taste tea.
After they had finished a cup of tea,
Yang Tianming cut straight to the chase. "When your company was first established, I put up fifty million, partly to support you and partly as an investment."
Across from Yang Tianming, Lin Feng nodded. "That’s right."
Yang Tianming put down his teacup and looked Lin Feng in the eye. "We made an agreement back then. This money wasn’t an unconditional investment."
"I hoped that after one month, the profit margin would reach two percent."
"So, what I want to ask you now is, was that rate of return achieved?"
