Chapter 287: Invisible Wings (Part 2)

“I finally see all dreams blossoming, the youth in pursuit, how resonant the song. I finally soar, gazing intently with heart, unafraid, flying as far as the wind takes me. How do you like it?”

Zhao Qingfeng not only wrote it out but also hummed it gently.

“Great!”

Shen Lingyao was thrilled, “I really like this song, but… but can it really beat Li Manrou?”

She was still concerned about her classmate who always saw her as a rival.

Even a girl has a competitive spirit, low-key but with a temper.

Zhao Qingfeng nodded gravely, “Don’t worry, 1645 is considered a versatile melody, capable of crafting countless songs. If all else fails, didn’t we buy a lot of electronic copyrights from Fourth Brother? They’re a company with most of the offline copyrights. We could even have someone interrupt Li Manrou’s performance if necessary.”

Shen Lingyao refused, preferring fair competition.

After some affectionate moments, Shen Lingyao practiced singing several times, quickly becoming familiar with the catchy lyrics.

In the quiet of the night, Zhao Qingfeng walked her back to her dormitory.

The two kissed for a long time under the shadowy trees next to the dormitory until Zhao Qingfeng ‘got handsy’ again, prompting Shen Lingyao to run up the stairs with a flushed face.

The next day.

Zhao Qingfeng first went to the Erlunsi headquarters.

He had called Wang Yang and Li Jianjun the night before, intending to use colleagues from the legal department.

For the two old guys, this wasn’t a problem.

Moreover, with Erlunsi’s light-asset model growing daily, nearly 700 franchisees and agents nationwide, just selling the management rights of the self-help brand had already made a fortune, not to mention other brands like “Playboy,” bringing the total revenue to nearly a hundred million. This was a revenue scale Erlunsi had never seen since its inception.

“Little Feng, long time no see!”

Manager Zhang was waiting at the door early, missing him dearly, grabbing Zhao Qingfeng’s hand and pulling him into the company, “I’ve been looking after your office often. Chairman Li and Chairman Wang went to Shangri-La for a trade fair and asked me to stay here with you.”

Zhao Qingfeng inquired about recent work.

He spoke at length about the developments.

Lately, he had become a real manager.

And Liu Li had officially joined Erlunsi, working under Manager Zhang, seemingly developing a somewhat ambiguous relationship.

This was understandable.

After all, they were adults; Manager Zhang was single, and so was Liu Li, their coming together was natural.

He also asked about Wang Tieshan’s situation.

Old Zhang chuckled, “Tieshan has been doing great, recently visiting Shanghai and Shenzhen, securing seven or eight new affiliates. Your father-in-law came by twice the other day, and Chairman Li and Chairman Wang treated him to a big meal. They wanted to call you, but he said you were busy, so it was dropped. Do you need anything else? Here at Erlunsi, we all support you. Just say the word, and it’s done.”

Zhao Qingfeng nodded, then asked about other matters.

After ensuring everything was normal, he headed straight to the legal department.

The legal team was ready and welcoming.

Zhao Qingfeng shook hands with the top lawyer, Zhou Ziyu, “Lawyer Zhou, nice to meet you.”

Lawyer Zhou politely responded, “Mr. Zhao, no need for formalities. The chairmen called me yesterday. Is it about potential legal issues for your new company? Please, let’s sit and discuss in detail.”

After some small talk, they sat down.

Zhao Qingfeng observed Zhou Ziyu. A man in his 40s, square-faced, articulate, wearing glasses, slightly balding, the epitome of a mature man.

“Lawyer Zhou, would you accompany me to my startup?”

Having just had a cup of tea, Zhao Qingfeng stood up and extended the invitation.

“Ah?”

Lawyer Zhou was momentarily confused, “Mr. Zhao, weren’t we going to discuss here? If we were going to your company, you could have just told me earlier, why did you come here personally?”

Zhao Qingfeng chuckled, holding his hand firmly, “Because the issue I need to address is quite complex, and you being the top lawyer in the legal department, I’ve always admired you. How could I not come to fetch you personally? Old Zhang, prepare the car!”
