Chapter 429 - Invitation From IHZHI
"Achoo!" Jang Shin loudly sneezed.
Linfeng who was checking the doc.u.nts that Jang Shin had passed to him gave Jang Shin a glance.
"Are you sick?"
"Nah, impossible. I've never caught a cold. It's probably soone talking about ."
"Tang Xinyang?"
"...Probably." Jang Shin shuddered at the ntion of that wicked woman. That woman was not planning of sothing insane again, was she?
Linfeng noticed the slight tremble of his friend's shoulder.
His curiosity was piqued. "How are you and Xinyang?"
He just ca back from abroad, thus he did not have a full understanding of how his two childhood friend's love-weird relationship turned out after two years.
"...Fine." Jang Shin gave an ambiguous answer.
Linfeng raised an eyebrow as he continued to flip on the doc.u.nts. "How 'fine' is it?"
Jang Shin: "...."
So fine that he was always on the verge of a heart attack whenever that crazy woman played her pranks on him!
For so reason though, he felt a bit embarrassed telling his friend about it, which was unusual. He himself did not understand why.
He tried to answer in sullen tone. "Incredibly fine."
Linfeng threw him an 'I-know-you-are-lying' look.
Jang Shin hesitated for a mont then gave in.
The tall man suddenly plunged himself onto Linfeng's arms and cried without tears.
"Linfeng! It was so terrible! You have no idea! Why do you have to leave here in the country for a long ti! You don't know how much I suffered!" he wailed. "That Xinyang... She… she evolved into sothing, sothing atrocious, abominable, and outrageous!"
"...You've learned new words."
"And not only that, her goal changed from 'beating up to death' to 'scaring to death'! Hu-hu-hu! I missed you, Linfeng! Without you, I am an easy kill-able target for that shemale!"
"..."
Linfeng: …Jang Shin's vocabulary seed to have gotten richer after a couple of years experiencing Tang Xinyang's might.
He looked at the strong a.d.u.l.t man who was wailing in his arms.
The image made him want to kick the guy away, but held back because Jang Shin was his closest friend and he did left him with many things in the country for a long ti after all. And he had done a good job in those years.
So he patiently let him borrow his body as his grievance pillow.
He sighed and patted the man on the shoulder.
Since Linfeng ca back to the country, he beca busy with many things.
Reuniting with his Young Miss, the aftermath of the dissolution of the treaty, and handling the internal battle of the Xiong family.
Because of these matters, he did not have much chance to have an idle talk with Jang Shin.
Alright, it was also because he preferred to spend the tiny amount of free ti he could get with his girlfriend…
It was only recently that the workload eased slightly.
Now that they were alone in the SC head branch's CEO's office, Jang Shin cried his heart out to his best friend.
"I was so scared dealing with her alone, you heartless bastard, hu-hu-hu…" Thankfully, no one else was around them, or else people would certainly misunderstand their relationship.
"Alright, that's enough."
After patting him on the shoulders, Linfeng pried out Jang Shin's arms around his neck.
Maybe he should not have asked. Jang Shin never changed. He was still the sensitive yet insensitive guy he had left almost three years ago.
Still, his simple and straightforward nature was sohow comforting.
Thus, Linfeng beca rciful and gave his friend a piece of advice.
"Xinyang won't kill you. You are the only one who thinks that way, you idiot. Look at it in a different angle."
Jang Shin: Look at a different angle? Look at what? Her legs?
Then he rembered Tang Xinyang's long and shapely legs under that demonic dress. His grievances seed to lessen sowhat.
'Fine, her legs look comforting indeed.'
Then he looked at Linfeng a bit doubtfully.
"...That's rare. Are you really Linfeng? Did your stay abroad changed you to be kinder and more magnanimous? It seems that the influence of the Western culture on you is not so bad."
Linfeng: …So you have always thought I was unkind and petty?
He decided to change the subject before he ended up knocking the guy on the head.
"Anyway, the opening of ZD Comprehensive Project is set to be finalized next month. The five kings will be coming here in the country. I'll leave the arrangents of their accommodations to you."
Jang Shin also returned to business mode and nodded.
"Alright. I will surely have to work to death this month," he said, yet with burning excitent in his eyes.
This was ZD Comprehensive Project! The biggest international project that would surely rock the world!
The opening of ZD Comprehensive Project would be held in a large scale, welcoming the investors and R&D partners from various countries.
The international project with the consortium of various figureheads was set to open in twenty-five countries simultaneously. Depending on the feedback, which according to the predicted data was absolutely positive, they would start expanding to fifty countries by next year.
This project was done discreetly, with the power and resources of the five kings plus the newbie and mastermind behind it, Linfeng.
It was done in absolute secrecy and everyone in the know had signed a legally binding doc.u.nt to stop them from running their mouths. The dia was not inford of the project.
Although the marketing departnt was initially puzzled why there was a need for absolute secrecy, they did not ask and simply planned to use the elent of surprise to make the project advertis.e.m.e.nt more effective.
Imagine an incredibly important international project under various superpowers' cooperation suddenly filling the news channels, newspapers, magazines, and online forums without any warning. The effect would be amazing.
Jang Shin was really excited to take part in it.
Surely, this project would be recorded as unprecedented in history.
While he was daydreaming about it, he suddenly rembered another matter.
"Oh, right. Linfeng, an invitation ca from a company called IHZHI."
Linfeng paused, his dark eyes looking up in surprise.
Jang Shin continued. "Do you rember IHZHI? The new company just started a year later than ours but already ran up like a black horse. You might not know, but they suddenly got on board the top fifty companies in the country. Their ranking is pretty close to us at the mont. It's useless though. With the success of our project, our company surely will stand face to face with those huge empires. We can let IHZHI eat our dust."
Hmph! Trying to outrun us? Never!
Linfeng: "..." When did Jang Shin thought of IHZHI as a rival company?
"Where is the invitation?" Linfeng ignored Jang Shin's boasting.
"Here." Jang Shin opened one cabinet, took out an envelope, and handed it to him.
"However, why did IHZHI give us this invitation letter? I heard the news that they will be having an opening for their new project next week. But why invite us? Are they showing off their cards to tell us they outrank us?"
"You are thinking too much." Linfeng read the invitation letter.
The line of 'our president wishes to invite the esteed SC CEO personally to the opening...' made him smile.
It was probably his Young Miss's way of officially introducing to him the company that she had worked hard for.
He had visited the IHZHI company with her before, but he did not pry into it even he was so curious about her progress.
Even though he was working for her as her personal butler, he only assisted her in the matters of the Xiong Empire and the internal battles within the Xiong family.
When it ca to their respective personal businesses that were not tied to their family nas, they left it untouched. Just as how his Young Miss did not pry on his SC Company, he kept quiet as well regarding her IHZHI Company.
Since his Young Miss wanted to co clean to him, he should do the sa.
"Send a reply later today. Tell them I will co."
"Alright, I will surely observe our enemy—wait, what? You will co?!" Jang Shin asked with his wide mouth opened.
Linfeng coming to an opening ceremony of a certain company as SC's representative...was sothing they had never done before.
But for him to co...Was Linfeng ready to announce to the world that he was the sole owner of SC?
"Yes. It's the owner of IHZHI who invited personally. I should return the favor," Linfeng said with a smile.
