Chapter 1318: The Story of Ling and Heng (581)
Feng Ling looked at CEO E’s outstretched hand, and at the same time, she saw that the people nearby seemed to have noticed what was going on here but didn’t even look in his direction. She finally understood his plan.
The first step was to wait for the right person to take the bait. If she was unwilling, who knew what he would do next.
“Why, Miss Feng has ruined my shirt. Are you afraid that I’ll do something to you?” CEO E saw that she was avoiding him politely and his gaze turned cold. He sneered. “This banquet is still ongoing. I’m the host of tonight’s banquet. I don’t think you want to see me dressed so dirty, Miss Feng, right?”
“CEO E, I can go back and compensate you with a similar or better shirt. As for changing clothes, we’re both adults and not children. We have to avoid arousing suspicion,” Feng Ling said frankly. “I hope CEO E won’t make things difficult for me.”
“Miss Feng, you’re here to talk about financing today, aren’t you?” CEO E’s secretary “happened” to come over with some finance documents. After seeing the situation here, he seemed to have listened for a while, then came over and said with a smile, “CEO E is giving you a chance to talk to him privately. Other people may not be treated like this. Miss Feng, you don’t have to be too careful. Our CEO E is very upright.”
“Of course we have to talk about funding.” Feng Ling’s smile didn’t reach her eyes. “I’ll definitely compensate for CEO E’s shirt. How about this, I’ll send someone to buy one for you right now.”
Seeing that she still refused to talk about returning to the room to change with him, CEO E’s gaze turned even colder.
“Who wants you to buy a shirt?” CEO E’s secretary stood at the side and changed his expression, his face full of disdain. “The circle of Chinese enterprises in the United States is really uneven. What kind of immature people can come up to manage a company? They even invited this kind of Tom, Dick, and Harry who dirtied someone’s clothes. Our CEO E’s temper is really too good. Otherwise, a company like the Feng Corporation, which can’t even show its face, won’t even have the opportunity to come to Washington. You really think too highly of yourself. I asked you to apologize and change clothes, but you’re still afraid of this. What can a person like you do?”
Feng Ling tried to restrain herself. Although she understood that this was a trap, she still felt that she was in the wrong. Her expression did not change, but her eyes were cold. “Now, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be a secretary. It was indeed my fault for bumping into CEO E. At the same time, I have already made the necessary compensation and apologies. Right now, the most important thing is that as a secretary, you should send CEO E back immediately to change, and not force me, who is not very familiar with CEO E, to accompany him to change his clothes. Don’t you think this is very strange?”
This time, Feng Ling deliberately raised her voice so that the people around them could hear the situation.
CEO E saw through her intentions and narrowed his eyes. “Miss Feng’s temper is very stubborn. Are you sure you can survive in this industry with such a character?”
“Whether I can survive or not depends on where I want to stand. Although this billion yuan is in your hands, I do need your company’s funding right now, but it doesn’t mean that the Feng Corporation can’t survive without it. Right now, we’re only giving each other a chance to cooperate. It’s not a dead end. Why do you have to be so resolute?” Feng Ling said flatly. “CEO E, you’re such a broad-minded person. Will you cut off the path of a small company like the Feng Corporation just because of a piece of clothing?”
“You…” CEO E did not speak, but the secretary did not expect her to retort. She even used such a method to hint at something. She immediately turned to look at CEO E.
“Our CEO E is very broad-minded and won’t fuss over a small character like you, but you’re really too immature,” the secretary said and rolled her eyes at Feng Ling.
“All right, stop it.” CEO E spoke up in time, but his expression was also not very good. “Since Miss Feng doesn’t like our funding, there’s no need for us to communicate. I think Miss Feng has no intention of discussing this with us today, so we can only wish Miss Feng a good meal here.”
“Does your company always hire people to change their clothes in your room?” Feng Ling’s tone turned cold. “CEO E, I don’t know if you set this rule or your boss set it.”
“So what if I did?” CEO E saw that her voice was intentionally raised to let others hear their conversation and was clearly unhappy.
Previously, he had noticed that Feng Ling was very quiet and cold, and she didn’t like to cause trouble. Whenever she encountered trouble, she would just deal with it coldly and not make any noise.
It was precisely because he took a fancy to this point that he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity, but he didn’t expect that she wasn’t someone who could completely swallow her anger.
As CEO E spoke, he suddenly reached out to grab her wrist. “I don’t think you’re in the mood to continue discussing cooperation with others here. Why don’t you go with me to find a place to have a good, detailed, and fresh discussion?”
He spoke slowly and softly.
Feng Ling pushed his hand away and turned to leave with a cold face.
However, at this moment, two security guards suddenly stood in her way.
As soon as she saw the two security guards, Feng Ling’s expression did not change. She watched them coldly until CEO E walked over, stood less than half a meter behind her, and said in a low voice, “Miss Feng, you’re a smart person. You should have guessed something before coming here. Do you think the security in my villa is poor? When you entered the door, the surveillance cameras at the door detected that you were carrying a dagger and several sharp blades. I know you’re different from ordinary girls, but now you’re standing here. Do you think you have the ability to hurt people? You have to know that you’re no longer the daughter the Feng family left outside. You have the entire Feng Corporation and the Feng family behind you. If you dare to make anyone bleed here, we can completely destroy the Feng family.”
…
Not far away, Li Nanheng was chatting with several famous businessmen. His attitude was distant and noble, but he was not arrogant. Although his expression was cold, those famous businessmen did not feel especially neglected.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of a wine glass shattering.
