Facing Huang Yongwang’s attitude,
Lin Feng wasn’t the least bit surprised.
After all, he was the kind of person who got by on sucking up to his superiors, not on actual ability.
You couldn’t expect someone like that to have much integrity.
When Su Ruoxi heard this, her expression immediately soured.
Huang Yongwang just assumed Su Ruoxi couldn’t stand hearing her sweetheart criticized, and his disdain for Lin Feng only grew.
"And what kind of person do you think I am?"
Lin Feng’s expression didn’t change in the slightest; in fact, his smile grew even brighter.
Huang Yongwang knew perfectly well that even if he thought Lin Feng was just some pretty boy who relied on connections,
he couldn’t possibly say it out loud in this setting. So, with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, Huang Yongwang said:
"This gentleman is clearly not part of our project and doesn’t understand the situation. I think it would be best if he didn’t say anything."
Hearing this, Lin Feng couldn’t be bothered to argue with someone so obtuse.
Unfortunately for Huang Yongwang, he had always relied on his ability to read people to manage his affairs.
But this time, he had completely misjudged Lin Feng.
Lin Feng simply made a phone call. "Send over a site project manager who knows real estate."
He said it right there in front of Huang Yongwang.
The color drained from Huang Yongwang’s face.
He couldn’t tell if Lin Feng was bluffing or if this was real.
Su Ruoxi couldn’t be bothered with Huang Yongwang either.
Although she had never particularly liked him,
she had kept him on because he did possess some ability.
That was why Su Ruoxi hadn’t removed him from his position.
But now, Huang Yongwang had been so clueless as to directly provoke Lin Feng.
There was no need to engage with someone so muddle-headed any longer.
Less than three minutes after Lin Feng hung up,
Huang Yongwang’s phone rang.
It was a call from the human resources department at Dingsheng Real Estate Company’s headquarters.
"I’m sorry, Manager Huang, but due to issues with your personal performance, you have been terminated by our company."
"The specific details of your contract will be handled by our colleagues in the legal department."
Hearing the voice on the phone, Huang Yongwang froze completely.
He had never imagined that the person standing before him was the one with the real power.
Huang Yongwang was absolutely certain he had heard the message correctly.
After hanging up, Huang Yongwang stared at Lin Feng, his eyes bloodshot. "Are you a senior executive?"
"In the same company, a relationship like yours with Miss Su... you’re really setting a great example, aren’t you?"
Now that he was getting fired anyway, Huang Yongwang wanted to get in one last spiteful jab before he left.
Tian Xiaowu and Uncle Tian were utterly stunned.
The man and woman sitting across from them, who looked so extraordinary in both appearance and demeanor,
could actually get the zone’s manager fired just like that.
The father and son were dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events.
They couldn’t even process it, staring blankly at the scene unfolding before them.
It wasn’t just Huang Yongwang who wanted to know the man’s true identity.
The Tian father and son were also desperate to figure out just who they had approached.
Lin Feng adjusted his sleeves. "My apologies, sir. My company acquired Dingsheng Real Estate."
"So I don’t think I need to be concerned about any repercussions."
Huang Yongwang knew a little about the company’s situation.
Old President Su had sold the company to someone else a while back.
Huang Yongwang was also aware that Dingsheng Real Estate now had a parent company.
Hearing Lin Feng’s words, it suddenly dawned on Huang Yongwang.
Lin Feng was the owner of the company that had acquired Dingsheng Real Estate.
’I actually went and provoked the ultimate big boss.’
At that moment, Huang Yongwang’s face turned ashen.
Everything he had painstakingly built up came to an abrupt end.
"Excuse me, Mr. Huang, please leave the premises as soon as possible. I will have someone come over to handle the handover procedures."
Just as Huang Yongwang was processing the shock of this event,
the manager of Zone A walked over with an apologetic look on his face.
Apparently, the Zone A manager was now temporarily in charge of Zone C’s affairs.
Behind the Zone A manager stood several burly men.
They were Zone C’s security guards.
It seemed that if Huang Yongwang didn’t know what was good for him, the guards were prepared to "escort" him out by force.
Huang Yongwang’s mouth twitched. He sighed, then turned and left.
Things had reached a point where there was no turning back.
It was better to just leave without a fuss.
After Huang Yongwang and the Zone A manager had left,
Uncle Tian and Tian Xiaowu finally snapped out of their daze.
"You two are the big bosses?"
Uncle Tian was so surprised his jaw dropped.
’So that means when I was moving that cart earlier, I actually ripped the big boss’s clothes!’
’No wonder that shirt looked so nice.’
’And just now, I even let my son tell the big boss to his face that the people he hired were unreliable...’
Uncle Tian was in a complete fog, unable to make sense of the situation.
Tian Xiaowu, on the other hand, had shed his earlier awkwardness.
This was probably the fastest his brain had ever worked in his entire life.
He stared intently at Lin Feng.
In Tian Xiaowu’s eyes, while Su Ruoxi also had a lot of power,
it was nothing compared to the company’s top boss.
’The one with the real authority is definitely Lin Feng.’
Tian Xiaowu sidled up, a broad smile on his face, and said, "So, Boss Lin, does that mean you approve of my ideas?"
Lin Feng couldn’t help but chuckle.
’This Tian Xiaowu is certainly a single-minded one.’
’All he wants is to see his ideas come to life.’
But sometimes, people who were that straightforward were the ones who could do a job with single-minded dedication.
So, Lin Feng nodded. "After listening to your thoughts, Ruoxi and I feel that some of your ideas make sense."
"And thank you for the heads-up. It seems the people Dingsheng Real Estate paid to come here before clearly weren’t putting their best effort in."
Hearing Lin Feng’s approval,
Tian Xiaowu’s eyes lit up with a startling brightness.
He was so excited he jumped to his feet and stomped. "I told you my ideas weren’t worthless!"
"Dad, did you hear that? What I was saying made sense!"
From Lin Feng’s words,
Tian Xiaowu had received validation.
He was now exceptionally confident.
Lin Feng and Su Ruoxi were quite pleased with the young man.
Lin Feng felt inclined to groom Tian Xiaowu.
After all, Tian Xiaowu’s scores in the talent and skills category were all above ninety.
How could Lin Feng pass up on such an undiscovered genius?
A slight smile appeared on Lin Feng’s face.
This smile was completely different from the one he had shown Huang Yongwang.
"If I gave you the chance to make some adjustments to the current plan..."
"Would you dare to take on the challenge?"
Hearing this, Tian Xiaowu was stunned. "Huh? You want me to do it?"
"I’ve never had any experience with this kind of thing!"
"I just felt like some things were off while I was working on-site."
Tian Xiaowu gave a shy and embarrassed smile.
Even though Lin Feng had validated him, Tian Xiaowu still lacked a bit of confidence.
Su Ruoxi knew exactly what Lin Feng was thinking.
’He couldn’t possibly let a complete novice like Tian Xiaowu take charge right away.’
So, Su Ruoxi smiled and explained to Tian Xiaowu, "To make major changes now, we’ll definitely need to bring in a new team."
"We’re going to fire the previous planning team."
"What Brother Feng means is that he wants you to join the new planning team."
Hearing Su Ruoxi’s explanation,
Tian Xiaowu’s nervousness gradually subsided.
Neither Su Ruoxi nor Lin Feng said anything more, clearly waiting for Tian Xiaowu to make his decision.
Tian Xiaowu thought about the ideas he’d had earlier.
Lin Feng’s previous questions couldn’t help but surface in his mind.
"Are you really content with this?"
"Living a life where you can see the end from the beginning?"
Every one of Lin Feng’s words had struck a chord deep in Tian Xiaowu’s heart.
Recalling Lin Feng’s questions,
Tian Xiaowu quietly clenched his fists.
He shot his head up, his gaze exceptionally firm as he looked at Lin Feng. "Boss Lin, I dare to join!"
"I don’t have any experience, but I’m willing to work hard and try this new job!"
When Uncle Tian heard his son say this, his eyes welled up with tears for some reason.
Even though Uncle Tian didn’t know what a "planner" did,
he knew very well that since the boss himself had made the offer and appreciated his son,
this job was bound to be much better than toiling away on a construction site, exposed to the wind and sun.
"Do a good job!"
Uncle Tian lowered his head slightly and patted his son’s shoulder.
He then turned, grabbed a pack of cigarettes, and squatted outside the cafeteria, smoking in silence.
