Chapter 882: Chapter 887: Zoning Out
If it weren’t for Liu Heng, Zhu Xiuyue wouldn’t have met Lin Feng, which led Lin Feng to notice Liu Heng’s inappropriate intentions toward her. Eventually, Lin Feng sent Zhou Yang to protect her, which brought about her relationship with Zhou Yang. As a result, Zhu Xiuyue’s present life has made an unimaginable leap compared to the past!
From this perspective, Zhu Xiuyue truly feels a little gratitude toward Liu Heng for the accidental encounter that led her to Zhou Yang. However, Zhu Xiuyue cannot guarantee that if she meets that scheming guy Liu Heng again, she wouldn’t directly kick him where it hurts...
"No need to thank him..." Lin Feng, upon understanding Zhu Xiuyue’s thoughts, shook his head with a wry smile. "That guy is probably staying home now, fearing our revenge. If you’re still upset, just let Zhou Yang bring him over for a few beatings. I bet after getting beaten, he will feel much more relieved, at least he won’t have to live in fear..."
"Then... let him continue being scared!" Zhu Xiuyue showed a mischievous smile.
Lin Feng’s expression stiffened slightly—so it’s true what they say about women being the most venomous creatures. Zhu Xiuyue, who seemed so simple-minded, actually harbored such poison; it’s really surprising...
"By the way, Brother Feng, three days ago, the CFO of the Ning Corporation’s head office sent over a cash check of three million, saying it was for our new martial hall’s opening ceremony funds. I’ve already deposited it into the company’s account..." Zhu Xiuyue regarded Lin Feng with some admiration.
In fact, Zhu Xiuyue admired Lin Feng even more. Although she didn’t understand the agreement between Lin Feng and Ning Fuxun, Lin Feng was able to act dominant in front of Ning Fuxun, directly seizing all the property rights of the new martial hall from Liu Heng, and even forced Ning Corporation to fire Liu Heng. In the end, not only did nothing happen to Lin Feng, but he also received a three million cash check from Ning Corporation. Could an ordinary person achieve such a thing?!
Lin Feng, however, didn’t feel he did anything particularly shocking. What concerned him more now was the amount on the check Ning Fuxun had sent over...
"Only three million? That old man Ning Fuxun is really stingy!" Lin Feng casually disparaged Ning Aoxue’s father and then looked at Zhu Xiuyue. "By the way, Xiuyue, by making the construction crew work overtime to finish the project, roughly how much extra did it cost? Will it affect the budget for the opening ceremony?"
Zhu Xiuyue’s expression was a bit strange; she had just caught an incredible insight from Lin Feng’s words. Brother Feng not only dared to call Ning Fuxun by his name but also insulted him as an old man and stingy miser... Who exactly is Brother Feng?!
"Xiuyue? Did you hear me?" Lin Feng noticed Zhu Xiuyue wasn’t responding and asked again, wondering if she was genuinely exhausted over the past few days.
"Oh... Sorry, I zoned out just now!" Zhu Xiuyue laughed awkwardly and then said to Lin Feng, "Brother Feng, regarding the construction crew, although we spent about a hundred thousand more, completing the project ahead of schedule gave us an extra ten days, which is a pretty fair trade-off. So far, it hasn’t affected the budget for the opening ceremony. According to my plan, if such a situation does arise, I’d actually cover it with my salary first..."
"No... Xiuyue, please don’t do that." Lin Feng waved his hand. He had just been subtly hinted at by Xue Qingyi and dared not agree with Zhu Xiuyue’s proposal. For an employee to need to use their salary to cover expenses, it would mean Lin Feng was failing as a boss!
"Brother Feng, what do you mean?" Hearing the seriousness in Lin Feng’s tone, Zhu Xiuyue became a bit anxious.
"What I mean is... if you don’t have enough budget, just let me know anytime..." Lin Feng said casually. "I trust your abilities and your sense of responsibility. Remember this, as long as you speak up, I will do my best to meet all your conditions... That’s my style, using people without doubt!"
"Oh..." Zhu Xiuyue widened her eyes slightly. She was evidently amused by Lin Feng’s declaration of wealth but was too shy to laugh out loud. As a girl, it was hard for her to understand the true meaning behind Lin Feng’s words...
In his mercenary days abroad, Lin Feng, being the leader of the White Wolf Squad, often had to make life-and-death decisions. Thus, he needed to place significant trust in every team member to ensure the mission wouldn’t fail due to doubts about their capability, sense of responsibility, or loyalty!
Lin Feng asked himself: during those seven or eight years abroad, he gave sufficient trust to each brother. Even the ultimate failure, which resulted in his death, entrusted the task of destroying the enemy’s artillery to Ling Yun, who eventually faced a storm of shells. Nevertheless, Lin Feng didn’t regret his choice...
Since you treat your subordinates as brothers, you ought to give them enough freedom. If someone chooses to betray, it merely indicates I misjudged one person; the remaining brothers are still brothers!
"Ling Yun, just wait, I will surely find you and settle this old score..."
Lin Feng suddenly felt burdened...
Over those six to seven years abroad, nearly every day was spent amidst smoke and flames. For Lin Feng, bullets whizzing by his ears and the blood spouting from an enemy’s neck had become as commonplace as having a meal, watching one comrade after another turn into a corpse in an instant—oftentimes, without even leaving behind a complete body.
These harsh memories, whenever they surfaced, would cut through his seemingly numb heart like sharp blades, causing an asphyxiating pain.
Lin Feng took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with a snap, and suddenly understood his change in behavior. Why had he, who was once solely dedicated to Xue Qinghan, now become so promiscuous and reckless? Apart from the influence of his own hormones, perhaps his suddenly relaxed mentality was the main reason...
If someone struggles on the edge of death year after year, they often adopt peculiar habits due to excessive repression—narcotics, self-harm, murder, sadism, and masochism. The fact that Lin Feng managed to stay clear-headed the entire time is already a testament to his incredible willpower. Returning to the peaceful Jiangzhou in China, it’s no wonder he’d loosen up...
Like a White Wolf without natural enemies, raised among sheep—it’s hard for Lin Feng to suppress his desires even if he wants to stay in line!
"Uh, Brother Feng, what’s happening with you?"
He suddenly felt a small hand waving in front of him, and Zhu Xiuyue’s slightly nervous voice came to his ear.
"Xiuyue?! Did something happen?" Lin Feng realized he zoned out and, somewhat embarrassed, looked up at Zhu Xiuyue...
"Uh, Brother Feng, your phone’s been ringing for a while, won’t you answer it?"
Zhu Xiuyue pointed somewhat apologetically to Lin Feng’s pocket where his phone was sounding off...
