Chapter 144: Catching Up Over Dinner (1/2)

Sister Lan and Little Kun were visiting such a large company for the first time.

Following Wang Yang, they felt awkward amidst the luxurious decorations and the bustling crowd, barely daring to make eye contact with others.

Five minutes later,

Wang Yang led them to the door of a spacious office on the third floor of the headquarters.

Sister Lan looked up to see a new golden plaque above the door, which boldly read “Chief Operating Officer.” This made her wonder about the level of authority one must possess to have a private office in such a large company.

As the knocking sound resonated,

Sister Lan’s heart raced.

The sound of steady footsteps from inside approached, quickening her heartbeat further as her gaze fixed on the glass door, unwilling to look away.

Could it really be Zhao Qingfeng?

Perhaps it was just someone with the same name?

After all, he was only eighteen years old. How could he possibly hold a senior management position in such a large company?

Sister Lan’s heart was a whirlwind of emotions.

Though it took only five seconds from the footsteps to reaching the door,

To her,

Those five seconds felt as long as a century.

She watched without blinking.

After five seconds,

The door

Finally opened.

Zhao Qingfeng, dressed in a suit and with a smile on his face, appeared before her like the dazzling sun, making a brilliant entrance.

“Little Feng, Little Feng! It really is you!”

Sister Lan’s eyes were clear; the Zhao Qingfeng before her was confident and dashing.

This made Sister Lan’s breathing quicken, involuntarily clutching her chest.

“Sister Lan, Little Kun, it’s been a long time.”

Zhao Qingfeng smiled, raised his eyebrows, shook hands with Sister Lan, patted Little Kun on the shoulder, and invited the three of them into the office.

Sister Lan and Little Kun excitedly took their seats on the sofa, too nervous to speak for a long time.

Meanwhile, Wang Yang,

With a frown, recounted recent events to Zhao Qingfeng, earnestly offering to use his father-in-law’s connections to deal with Cheng Ming if needed.

Zhao Qingfeng declined.

Revenge is best served personally.

After sending Wang Yang off, he asked Little Kun to close the door, then personally poured a glass of water for Sister Lan, smiling sincerely at her and asked, “Sister Lan, I’ve understood the whole situation. Before we talk about anything else, tell me, what outcome do you wish for Cheng Ming?”

His words were gentle yet powerful,

Touching the very place in Sister Lan’s heart that troubled her the most, causing her to sigh deeply as tears uncontrollably flowed down.

She hated!

Wished Cheng Ming would die on the streets.

But that was unrealistic.

However,

Seeing his business fail and all his stores close would suffice.

“Okay.”

Zhao Qingfeng easily agreed.

After Sister Lan learned of Zhao Qingfeng’s entire journey, she asked in surprise, “Little Feng, you’re very impressive now, but the clothing industry is the clothing industry, unrelated to the technology sector. How can you help me?”

Little Kun was equally puzzled.

Wasn’t Zhao Qingfeng a senior manager? How could he have so much time?

Zhao Qingfeng didn’t answer immediately.

Instead, he laid out their next steps.

Dealing with Cheng Ming could wait.

After all, petty revenges are sought day and night, but a gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years.

“Sister Lan, there’s no need to go south. Listen to me, stay here.”

“Let’s put Cheng Ming’s matter aside for now. We’ll talk about it after my university entrance exam.”

“This afternoon, you two will come out with me to find a place. I want to start a company.”

“I’ll be too busy with the university entrance exam, so I’ll need your help with some minor tasks like obtaining a business license.”

“After my exam is over, we can start operating the company officially.”

“As for your salaries, whatever you were making in the Science and Technology City, I’ll increase it by 50%.”

“Once I’m less busy, I’ll save some money to help you reopen your shop.”

There’s no need to go into detail about many grand plans.

Because even if he did, Sister Lan and Little Kun might not understand.
