Chapter 887: Chapter 892: I’m Not Stingy Either
From Lin Feng’s perspective, a minor official like Jiang Youdao wouldn’t even capture his attention, let alone him proactively currying favor as Zhu Xiuyue imagined...
In fact, even if Jiang Youdao tried to curry favor with Lin Feng, Lin Feng would still need to see if he has real talents and abilities that can be utilized before considering his help!
However, it was clear from Jiang Youdao’s appearance that he was not the capable official with real talents...
With his large head, rotund belly, and leering eyes, Lin Feng surely didn’t believe he was an officer with genuine skills.
This Jiang Youdao was most likely here because of Zhu Xiuyue, believing Zhu Xiuyue had invited him alone, and even thinking that Zhu Xiuyue might use some sort of honey trap on him...
Faced with such a person, there’s no way Lin Feng would be polite to him.
"Xiuyue, no need to order more, I’m already full! Let’s pay and leave!" Lin Feng did not even acknowledge Jiang Youdao and straightforwardly told Zhu Xiuyue with calmness.
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s amiable words, Jiang Youdao, who was about to call the waiter to order, instantly turned red with rage...
Full?! Pay and leave?!
Are you joking?!
Jiang Youdao’s eyes were almost spitting fire as he roared angrily in his heart!
Though the Sports Bureau isn’t particularly crucial, it happens to be the department Lin Feng needs to set up this martial hall. Jiang Youdao, as the head of the planning and finance department, has virtually full approval authority over Lin Feng’s martial hall!
That means, if Jiang Youdao isn’t happy, the to-be-opened martial hall could be ordered into indefinite rectification for reasons like safety checks failing, fire assessments failing, or equipment not being complete!
It’s not about whether it can be done, it entirely depends on Jiang Youdao’s willingness!
Therefore, Jiang Youdao is here not just for a meal, but also to have Zhu Xiuyue please him...
Director Jiang’s displeasure has serious consequences!
"Mr. Lin, what do you mean by that?" However, considering Lin Feng is a financial backer, and Zhu Xiuyue’s boss, Jiang Youdao thought he should give him a chance, "If you insist on doing this, are you really not putting Jiang in your eyes? Does your martial hall wish to remain forever unopened?"
Jiang Youdao believed he was being forthright, as he clearly saw Zhu Xiuyue’s expression turn pale...
Zhu Xiuyue was indeed disturbed; she didn’t expect Lin Feng’s temper to be so fierce, dismissing Jiang Youdao and immediately offending him deeply...
Had I known, I should have entertained Director Jiang myself. Why did I call Brother Feng here? Damn it, if we truly offend Jiang Youdao and the martial hall cannot open, I will be the main culprit!
Zhu Xiuyue felt intensely guilty within her, she was unsure what to do now, Should she advise Brother Feng to see the bigger picture and not butt heads with Jiang Youdao? But would Brother Feng listen? Zhu Xiuyue anxiously looked at Lin Feng, inadvertently clenching her slender fists...
At this moment, Lin Feng seemed to finally hear Jiang Youdao’s words, lazily turning around, casting a glance at Jiang Youdao, and calmly asking, "You are that Director Jiang, right? Just now, you mentioned my martial hall might not open because of you? Is that correct?"
"Hum... If I’m unhappy, anything could happen!" Jiang Youdao thought Lin Feng was intimidated, letting out a cold laugh, casually saying, "If someone knows their place a bit better, there might still be negotiations!"
Lin Feng lifted his head, smiling indifferently at the self-important Jiang Youdao, casually asking, "I wonder what Director Jiang means by knowing their place?"
Jiang Youdao didn’t respond verbally but glanced over at Zhu Xiuyue with an obvious intention...
Zhu Xiuyue’s face turned a bit red with embarrassment; she hadn’t expected Jiang Youdao to be so brazen!
When they first met through intermediaries, Zhu Xiuyue knew Jiang Youdao had designs on her; being a beauty, Zhu Xiuyue was very aware of this. However, she assumed that since Jiang Youdao was someone of status, even if he had misconceptions, he wouldn’t act too recklessly. Thus, she somewhat deliberately used her charm to arrange tonight’s meeting...
Clearly, Jiang Youdao believed Zhu Xiuyue had accepted his request, even arriving tonight without his secretary, eagerly to see Zhu Xiuyue...
Initially, Jiang Youdao found Lin Feng displeasing not only because of his perceived rudeness but also due to an inexplicable jealousy, which was one of the reasons why he was not happy.
Upon understanding Jiang Youdao’s intentions, Lin Feng’s wrath flared instantly!
This guy’s really asking for it!
Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed dangerously, his gaze even drifting towards the bottles on the table, secretly contemplating whether to teach Jiang Youdao a lesson and remind him!
"To be honest..." Jiang Youdao failed to notice the fire burning in Lin Feng’s eyes and obliviously spoke, "During my last meeting with Manager Zhu, we enjoyed an amicable conversation, it was almost like meeting an old friend. This time I’m seeking Manager Zhu not primarily for dinner, but simply to have more conversations with Miss Zhu..."
"Director Lin is occupied, feel free to leave first; tonight’s bill can be on me..." Jiang Youdao greedily eyed Zhu Xiuyue, boastfully suggesting to Lin Feng with a sly grin!
Given Jiang Youdao’s notoriously stingy nature, him offering to pay voluntarily was extremely rare indeed! From this gesture alone, one could tell how determined Jiang Youdao was regarding Zhu Xiuyue...
Zhu Xiuyue’s expression froze; she didn’t expect the situation to turn so quickly, just moments ago she was worried Lin Feng might offend Jiang Youdao too deeply, and now Jiang Youdao had simply pardoned Lin Feng, redirecting everything towards her...
But, but, Brother Feng wouldn’t possibly agree to such an absurd request from Jiang Youdao, right?!
With a pitiful look, Zhu Xiuyue turned her gaze towards Lin Feng; she had totally forgotten about the bigger picture now...
"Tsk tsk, how generous indeed..." Lin Feng sneered, his patience thoroughly wearing thin, as Jiang Youdao continuously challenged his limits; he didn’t even want to engage further with this man.
Then, under the astonished gaze of Jiang Youdao and Zhu Xiuyue, Lin Feng suddenly extended his hand, grabbing a plate of unfinished scallops from the table, and with a sudden motion, hurled it towards Jiang Youdao’s face, head-on!
Bang! Clatter clatter clatter...
The ceramic plate was sturdy, and after colliding with Jiang Youdao’s skull, it didn’t shatter, but instead fell heavily on the ground, along with numerous leftover scallops scattered across the carpet...
Jiang Youdao was completely dumbfounded, his suit drenched in soy sauce, colorful and messy, making him look utterly disheveled...
With wide eyes, Zhu Xiuyue was left speechless; the scene she least wanted to see unfolded before her!
"I’m not a stingy person either, so I’ll treat you to a plate of scallops... and there’s plenty more where that came from!"
Lin Feng looked at Jiang Youdao, his face beaming with joy.
