Just as he got up to head to the restaurant Zhu Zheng had booked, the phone rang unexpectedly, displaying an unfamiliar number.
Li Jing directly hung up, but to his surprise, the caller dialed again.
He frowned slightly and answered the call, speaking indifferently, "Who is this?"
On the other end of the line was a pleasant-sounding female voice: "It’s Shi Yang. Didn’t you save my number?"
Upon hearing it was Shi Yang, Li Jing was stunned, realizing the voice indeed sounded like hers.
Previously, he had added Shi Yang on WeChat and had contacted her via WeChat when heading to Qianshi Manor.
During Chen Wenwu’s dinner, they exchanged contact information too. He gave his number to Shi Yang, who saved it, but he hadn’t saved hers.
To him, saving Shi Yang’s WeChat was sufficient because their relationship had not been close before, and he was too lazy to save her number. Unexpectedly, Shi Yang called him, and he casually explained:
"Sorry, I didn’t save it last ti."
On the other end, Shi Yang was silent for a mont. This was her first ti actively giving a guy her number, yet he didn’t save it.
Afterward, Shi Yang cald her mood and said, "Didn’t I ntion wanting to treat you to a al again? Last ti, things didn’t work out because of Liu Jun’s issue, so I’ve rearranged it. I won’t bring anyone else this ti, just the two of us for dinner. How about it?"
Li Jing raised an eyebrow and asked, "When?"
"Today, this noon."
Upon hearing this, Li Jing shook his head, "I’m afraid I can’t. I’ve already made plans with friends."
"You made plans with friends? Haven’t you just arrived in Hai Province? You already have friends? Are they male or female?"
Shi Yang spoke, unexpectedly questioning the opposite gender, without realizing why she did so.
Li Jing calmly replied, "Male, at Zhongxing Grand Hotel."
"Zhongxing Grand Hotel? I happen to be nearby, so why don’t I just co over and et you. By the way, which uncle or elder is this friend of yours?"
"Uncle? Elder?"
Li Jing looked confused, not understanding her aning.
Shi Yang said naturally, "Aren’t your friends all heads of various families? Like my grandpa, Uncle Chen, and Uncle Liu? Your friends are all from their generation, right?"
Li Jing was speechless. It seed Shi Yang had categorized his social circle among the older generation. He couldn’t help but reply helplessly, "My friends also include young people, okay?"
"Really?"
Shi Yang was skeptical but continued, "I have so things to do now, but I’ll co over later. Make sure to wait for , don’t leave first."
Seeing her resolute attitude, Li Jing reluctantly agreed, then hung up the phone and headed to Zhongxing Grand Hotel.
Haishi City Center Hotel was a luxurious Chinese restaurant with a grand style and high prices.
According to Zhu Zheng, many local business people choose to discuss business here.
Li Jing entered the private room and saw two n inside. One had a few strands of white hair—Zhu Zheng.
The other was a chubby man who looked about thirty years old.
Upon seeing Li Jing enter, Zhu Zheng imdiately got up, passionately welcod him, and then turned to the chubby man:
"Fengzi, this is the President Li I ntioned to you. He’s quite the boss, so you better serve him well and do a great job."
After speaking, Zhu Zheng turned enthusiastically to introduce Li Jing, "President Li, this is my good friend Li Feng, a local. We grew up together as childhood friends.
Both of us are entrepreneurs. I mainly focus on self-dia, while he is in luxury tourism and has also reached a certain scale. Many big bosses from out of town co to Hai Province for luxury tourism projects and seek him out."
Upon hearing this, the chubby Li Feng waved his hand, laughing, "It’s not that exaggerated. I co-founded a company with a few friends. I’m just a minor shareholder, nowhere near Old Zhu.
Old Zhu now collaborates with the governnt and influencers, forming quite a scale. I’m still just doing small things."
At first glance, Li Jing felt this chubby man had a modest and easygoing personality, unlike the arrogance exuded by second-generation wealthy individuals like Liu Jun and Chen Ziteng.
After speaking, Li Jing nodded slightly, showing a subtle smile, "President Li, it seems we share the sa surna. Nice to et you."
Li Feng quickly responded, "Oh, I can’t live up to the title of President Li; you are the real President Li. If you don’t mind, follow Old Zhu and call Fengzi."
Li Jing thought, since both of them were surnad Li, using President Li could indeed be confusing. But directly calling him "Fengzi" seed inappropriate, so he said, "Then I’ll call you President Feng. This ti I’m eting President Feng mainly to discuss helicopter chartering. Does President Feng have relevant dealings in this area?"
While warmly inviting Li Jing to have a seat, Li Feng replied, "Yes, yes, yes. Old Zhu ntioned it to yesterday and specially instructed to reserve a helicopter for you.
Honestly, if it weren’t for Old Zhu’s request, the helicopter might have been booked out. Our business isn’t that booming that needs a queue, but I heard President Li wants a long-term charter, which is indeed hard to arrange."
After Li Jing sat down, Li Feng poured him a cup of tea and continued:
"Generally, our company rents out helicopters on a per-use basis, with clients renting them every few days.
If you want a long-term charter, it indeed requires advanced booking, so we can plan our subsequent activities easier.
