「That evening.」
When Lin Feng returned to the apartment, Su Ruoxi had already prepared an exquisite dinner.
A candlelight dinner, no less.
"My, what’s the special occasion?"
Lin Feng teased Su Ruoxi with a glance.
Su Ruoxi smiled. "This is to thank you for your help, Brother Feng!"
"Ever since we found reliable construction companies, the Joy City project is back on schedule!"
Su Ruoxi raised her wine glass and clinked it against Lin Feng’s with a smile.
"It seems the people you recommended are quite reliable!"
Lin Feng remarked casually.
Su Ruoxi nodded. "And they’re all large construction teams. Aside from the equipment, which the company needs to handle, there’s nothing else to worry about!"
"Looks like that Zhang Kun is pretty dependable!"
Lin Feng closed his eyes and savored a sip of the red wine.
In truth, Lin Feng knew very well what people like Zhang Kun were like.
For a small favor like this, as long as someone with connections reached out...
...they would almost always choose to help.
After all, everyone understood the principle that when you’re making your way in the world, more friends mean more opportunities.
They formed their own little circles.
And the connections between these circles were crucial.
Still, Lin Feng made a mental note of the favor from Zhang Kun.
The fact that Su Ruoxi was able to get in touch so quickly suggested that the contact list Zhang Kun provided had likely been carefully curated.
And perhaps, Zhang Kun had even given them a heads-up in advance.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to show up so fast.
Beside him, Su Ruoxi was already talking about the progress on Joy City.
"At this rate, we’ll be ready for inspection in another month."
"Although the Joy City project had multiple investors, many of them pulled out after the company’s previous management left."
"I took a quick look, and right now, the biggest investor in the Joy City project is you, Brother Feng!"
As she said this, a look of faint gratitude appeared on Su Ruoxi’s face.
If it weren’t for Lin Feng’s investment, the Joy City project would have collapsed long ago.
Not only would it have been left unfinished, but Dingsheng Real Estate would have truly become an empty shell company.
"You don’t have classes tomorrow anyway, so... how about you come with me to the Joy City site, Brother Feng?"
Su Ruoxi grew more and more excited as she spoke, filled with the satisfaction of being on the verge of completing a major project.
It made her eager to share the moment with Lin Feng.
"Sure, I’ll go with you to the site. After this project is done, it’ll be a huge cash cow for me!"
Lin Feng said with a joking smile.
Coincidentally, Lin Feng also wanted to see the situation at the Joy City site for himself.
After all, Lin Feng was also planning to build amusement parks and similar entertainment facilities in his future Cyan Mountain Town land project.
A field inspection would help him plan better.
Dingsheng Real Estate’s park was called Huayun Joy City.
It was a type of theme park.
It integrated the culture of the Celestial Dynasty into the project.
As Lin Feng and Su Ruoxi walked through the site, they saw many cultural elements of the Celestial Dynasty.
"In this area, I’m planning to have some acrobatics or traditional-style performances."
"Right now, when people think of theme parks, the first thing that comes to mind is Disneyland."
"When Joy City is completed, I want to build it into a brand that can stand on its own like that."
A faint light shone in Su Ruoxi’s eyes.
Lin Feng looked at this version of Su Ruoxi, who was completely different from her usual self, with a smile on his face.
Su Ruoxi had really started to grow into her own.
As for her idea of building a branded Joy City, Lin Feng believed her intentions were good.
But in Lin Feng’s opinion, while it was very possible for Dingsheng Real Estate’s Joy City to become a regional brand...
after all, the investment was huge, the scale was considerable, and it had its own theme...
if they wanted it to become a famous landmark brand like Disneyland...
they still had a long way to go.
Sometimes, not everyone knows about a good thing.
Brand recognition depends on promotion and marketing.
Otherwise, in today’s fast-paced society, even a good product will go unnoticed if it isn’t advertised.
However, Su Ruoxi’s ambition was still commendable.
So Lin Feng didn’t say anything, simply listening to Su Ruoxi’s plans.
For some points that he felt were a bit unrealistic or naive,
Lin Feng pointed them out directly.
Su Ruoxi had great faith in Lin Feng’s abilities, and even had the current project manager for Joy City take notes.
She planned to hold a special meeting to discuss his points after returning to Dingsheng Real Estate.
This visit from Su Ruoxi and Lin Feng was a spur-of-the-moment decision, so they hadn’t notified the Joy City project team.
That kind of site inspection was full of empty formalities.
And you would only see what the project manager wanted the higher-ups to see.
So even though the project manager recognized Su Ruoxi, she instructed him to carry on as usual.
Su Ruoxi would come by occasionally.
The manager had gradually gotten used to these impromptu surprise inspections.
After all, Su Ruoxi wasn’t someone who liked pomp and ceremony.
To be honest, the subordinates preferred this kind of superior.
It saved everyone a lot of trouble; there was no need to make a scene.
Previously, Su Ruoxi’s father, Old President Su, had put a lot of pressure on the manager.
He always liked to conduct his inspections with great fanfare and offer superficial, useless advice.
The construction site staff had to go to the trouble of hosting him and run around attending to his needs.
The manager even suspected that the reason Su Ruoxi couldn’t find any construction teams back then was because of Old President Su.
No one wanted to deal with a mountain of inspection-related hassles on top of their actual work.
The manager, wearing a hard hat and holding a pen and paper, followed behind Su Ruoxi and Lin Feng.
He could roughly guess Lin Feng’s identity.
’The ultimate big boss behind the scenes!’
Dingsheng Real Estate had now been acquired by Lin Feng.
It had become a subsidiary of Lin Feng’s company.
The manager also knew that Su Ruoxi and the boss of the parent company were a couple.
’I originally thought it was a story of "you want my beauty, I want your money."’
But today, when the manager saw such a talented man and beautiful woman together,
he was stunned.
At the same time, the manager realized,
’This is a story about a perfect match.’
The Joy City project site was indeed huge.
After walking for over an hour, they had only seen Area A.
During that time, the project manager took a call and left apologetically.
It wasn’t like Su Ruoxi had never been here before; she knew her way around, so she simply declined the manager’s suggestion to find someone else to accompany them.
"We’ll just look around on our own. You go handle your business."
Su Ruoxi spoke to the manager with a smile, her arm linked with Lin Feng’s.
Little did she know, the manager was already imagining a whole romantic drama starring her and Lin Feng.
After the manager left, Su Ruoxi rubbed her slightly sore legs.
Lin Feng knew that large construction sites like this would have site vehicles.
The kind that shuttled people around, with no windows, similar to a tour cart.
"Let’s find a cart."
Lin Feng glanced around and saw an empty cart with the key in the ignition behind a pile of building materials.
He started to walk over to get it.
He had almost reached the cart
when he suddenly heard Su Ruoxi’s terrified scream from behind him.
"Look out!"
Lin Feng reacted instantly, dodging to the side.
Just then, the sound of something heavy crashing to the ground came from the spot where he had just been standing.
Lin Feng felt a tug on his arm, and his sleeve ripped.
He turned to see a steel pipe had fallen.
On the other side of the building materials, a middle-aged man in a hard hat was pushing a wheelbarrow.
He wasn’t paying attention for a moment, and the handle bumped into the pile of materials.
This sent a steel pipe crashing down.
