「Afternoon.」
Inside a university classroom.
When Yang Qiniang and the others learned that Lin Feng had actually bought such a huge plot of land...
And that the plot was in a relatively remote town, no less...
They found it a bit hard to understand.
During class, Yang Qiniang sat next to Lin Feng and whispered, "Brother Feng, you bought such a big piece of land. Are you planning to build an office building or a factory?"
"The place is so far away. You’re not thinking of moving our company headquarters there, are you?"
The other two roommates were just as curious about Yang Qiniang’s questions.
Lin Feng tapped Yang Qiniang’s hand with his pen. "What are you thinking? Our company headquarters is perfectly fine right here."
Cao Ming leaned in and whispered, "I know the answer to this one! Maybe Brother Feng thinks the company is big enough now, so he wants to open a branch office there!"
Jiang Chao nodded vigorously beside him.
Lin Feng said, exasperated, "It’s not time to open a branch office yet. You guys are really getting ahead of yourselves!"
Just as the other three were about to ask more questions,
they were abruptly interrupted by a question from the lecturing professor.
"The four of you boys in the back, come and answer this question. I see you’re having a very lively discussion!"
Lin Feng and his friends were sitting in the back-right corner of the classroom.
As soon as the professor called them out,
all eyes in the classroom turned to their corner.
Jiang Chao was the first one called on.
"What is Porter’s Five Forces model?"
Fearing Jiang Chao hadn’t heard, the professor even repeated the question.
Unfortunately, Jiang Chao, Cao Ming, and the others had been so busy with company matters lately that they hadn’t been paying much attention to their classwork.
Besides, they had all been busy crowding around Lin Feng, asking him all sorts of questions.
They hadn’t heard a word of the professor’s lecture.
He was completely stumped.
This Professor Wang was famous in the department for his good temper.
So, upon seeing Jiang Chao unable to answer, he simply shifted his gaze to Cao Ming and Yang Qiniang.
"How about you two tell us!"
Cao Ming scratched his head, unable to answer either.
Yang Qiniang looked extremely uncomfortable beside him.
"It seems your long discussion didn’t yield any results..."
"The hope of your little group now rests on the last person."
"Come on, our school’s new man of the hour, Classmate Lin. You answer."
Professor Wang looked at Lin Feng with a smile.
The other students’ gazes also fell upon Lin Feng.
With a smile, Lin Feng stood up, walked directly to the front of the classroom, and drew Porter’s Five Forces model on the board.
After seeing Lin Feng illustrate the theoretical concept,
Professor Wang didn’t say much more, just smiled and gestured for Lin Feng to return to his seat.
"As for the other three who couldn’t answer, write up a business case study summary and give it to me next class."
While letting Yang Qiniang and the others off the hook, Professor Wang still threw another assignment at them.
Yang Qiniang made a face and sat down.
Just then,
the bell signaling the end of class rang.
"Brother Feng, we were all just chatting. How did you still manage to hear what the professor was talking about?"
Lin Feng gathered his things and headed out of the classroom. "Unlike you guys, I actually look at the board while I chat!"
Cao Ming and Jiang Chao sighed deeply. "We’re already working men, a cut above the rest, and we still have to do homework!"
"We’re the perfect combination of corporate drone and academic grunt!"
When Lin Feng got back to the apartment, he saw Su Ruoxi just finishing a call with Lin Xiaoman.
Su Ruoxi’s eyes were a little red.
Lin Feng walked over and patted Su Ruoxi’s shoulder. "What’s wrong? Did Xiaoman give you a hard time?"
Su Ruoxi pouted and threw herself into Lin Feng’s arms.
"It wasn’t your sister!"
"It’s about Dingsheng Real Estate. The Joy City project has construction teams now, but the progress is still a bit behind."
"I was just talking to your sister about it, and I got a little emotional."
"Are there not enough construction teams?"
Lin Feng asked, gently patting Su Ruoxi’s back.
Su Ruoxi nodded. "The current construction pace is still a bit slow, but unfortunately, we can’t find any more good teams."
Lin Feng thought for a moment. "Actually, this problem shouldn’t be too hard to solve. Hold on a second."
Lin Feng took out his phone and dialed Wang Zongjie’s number.
After explaining that he was looking for a few reliable construction teams,
Wang Zongjie immediately sent Lin Feng the WeChat contact for an alumnus in his circle, Zhang Kun, who worked in real estate.
"This senior of ours is in real estate. I explained your situation to him."
"You can contact him."
Wang Zongjie was quite enthusiastic about helping.
Perhaps because Wang Zongjie had given him a heads-up,
the moment Lin Feng added this Senior Brother Zhang, Zhang Kun sent a message:
"Is this Xiaofeng? I happened to have something come up and couldn’t make it to the last gathering."
"To think we’d end up connecting one way or another!"
Lin Feng replied with a few polite words.
Just as he was about to get to the point,
he saw that Zhang Kun had sent him a file directly.
"This is the contact information for the heads of some well-known construction teams in Xiang Province."
"If you trust me, you can consider these teams."
Lin Feng hadn’t expected Zhang Kun to be so fast.
"Thanks, Senior Brother Zhang."
Lin Feng forwarded the file directly to Su Ruoxi.
In reality, recommending construction teams was a small matter for Zhang Kun.
But by doing this small favor, he could build a good relationship with Lin Feng.
At the same time, he could also refer business to the construction companies he often worked with.
It was a situation that killed several birds with one stone.
That was why Zhang Kun had been so quick to help.
"Go ahead and contact the people in charge on this list. There shouldn’t be any major issues."
After receiving the file, Su Ruoxi gave it a quick look.
"These construction teams are all from Xiang Province. Isn’t it a bit far for them to come here?"
Su Ruoxi was a little hesitant.
But Lin Feng shook his head.
Xiang Province wasn’t far from Yang City.
Besides, these kinds of construction teams were highly mobile by nature.
So, the issue Su Ruoxi was hesitating over wasn’t a problem at all.
"Don’t worry. Just contact them. The most important thing right now is to rush and finish the construction schedule for Joy City."
Su Ruoxi nodded and accepted the file.
"How is Dingsheng Real Estate doing now?"
A thought struck Lin Feng, and he asked.
"It’s been recovering well recently. Some of our former partners have even reached out."
"I’m not too confident about the projects they’re bringing to the table, so I’m carefully screening them."
After everything that had happened before, Su Ruoxi had become much more cautious and meticulous.
Without even realizing it, Su Ruoxi had become the one at the helm of Dingsheng Real Estate.
Thinking about problems from the perspective of the company’s highest level of management
had also broadened Su Ruoxi’s horizons considerably.
"To be honest, sometimes I’m just not sure. For the projects I’m unsure about, I just reject them outright..."
At this, Su Ruoxi hugged Lin Feng. "Do you think I’m being too cautious?"
Lin Feng shook his head. "That’s how you have to be in business. If you’re not cautious, you could take one wrong step and fall into an abyss."
"Besides, once Dingsheng Real Estate delivers the Joy City project, it will have made a full recovery."
"You’ll have a much stronger foundation then. Choosing partners is something that requires caution, so what you’re doing is great!"
Hearing Lin Feng’s encouragement, a faint blush appeared on Su Ruoxi’s face.
She was a little shy.
When she was shy, Su Ruoxi had a unique, captivating charm.
The sight made Lin Feng’s heart race.
This apartment was their love nest, after all.
Lin Feng felt no need to hold back. He pulled Su Ruoxi straight into the bedroom.
Su Ruoxi had long since entrusted her life to Lin Feng!
Naturally, she wouldn’t refuse...
