“Director Lin, you did well,” w.a.n.g Yunjiang said.

“Thank you, Boss.”

w.a.n.g Yunjiang nodded in satisfaction. “Director Geng, what do you think now?”

“I’m quite satisfied, but we still have to go back and report the situation here to the heads. Unless something goes wrong, this should be fine.”

“Alright, we’ll stop here first today. I’ve booked us a table where we can eat. We have to have a good drink today.”

“We’ll follow your plan.”

After the meeting, everyone left one after another. w.a.n.g Ying winked at Lin Yi and followed the crowd out.

Lunch was only meant for the few leaders in the county. Lin Yi wasn’t qualified to receive the people from the Chaoyang Group, and he didn’t want to partic.i.p.ate, so he returned to his office.

“F*ck, where did he get such a huge investment from!” Zhou Feng cursed angrily as he walked behind.

“This matter is indeed a little strange.” The person who spoke was called Fan Zhichao. He was in the same office as Zhou Feng, but he was a deputy.

The reason why he could climb to this position was because of Zhou Feng. Although he was not considered a subordinate in name, he actually followed Zhou Feng’s lead and listened to him.

“There’s also that Li Sijin. I wanted to promote her, but she refused to accept my kindness!”

“Brother Feng, I think you should stop targeting Li Sijin. It’s not worth it.”

“How can I stop? It’s been so long. There’s finally a decent person in the county. I won’t give up on her.” Zhou Feng clenched his fists and said.

“If it weren’t for Lin Yi, Li Sijin wouldn’t have treated me like this!”

“You can’t blame him. To be honest, Lin Yi is indeed energetic. In addition, the two of them are in the same office. It’s only natural that Li Sijin fancies him. We can’t force this.”

“I couldn’t care less now. I’ve been watching her for a long time. I have to think of a way to take her down!”

“Brother Feng, we’re adults. There’s no need to hang ourselves on the same tree,” said Fan Zhichao.

“Haven’t you thought about Guo Lu?”

“The deputy director of the Merchants Office?”

“Yes, that’s her.”

“She’s not bad-looking, but she’s not as pretty as Li Sijin, and she looks a little virtuous. She’s not my type, or I would have moved in long ago.”

“Virtuousness is for outsiders. After you conquer her, you definitely won’t be n.o.ble anymore,” Fan Zhichao said.

“And there’s something else you know. Her family seems to be very rich.”

“Stop fooling around. Is driving a Mercedes-Benz C-cla.s.s considered rich? That car only cost 300,000 yuan. Even I can afford it.”

“Brother Feng, there’s something you don’t know,” said Fan Zhichao.

“I went out with her to do something these two days and accidentally discovered some clues. Her family is a rich family in Yuhang. I don’t dare to say anything else, but their a.s.sets are worth at least hundreds of millions!”

“Ah?! Hundreds of millions?!”

Zhou Feng was stunned. “Say that again. How much money does her family have?”

“Hundreds of millions, and this is a conservative estimate! It’s much more likely to be more than this.”

“That’s impossible. If she’s that rich, why would she work in a place like this?”

“Yesterday she mentioned that she has an older brother who’s inheriting the family business. She has no real interest in business, the cla.s.sic ‘eat, sleep, do nothing’ second-generation rich kid. Plus, she’s got some connections in the government, and she’s just going through the motions here, with plans to relocate to Yuhang in a year.” Fan Zhichao said, getting more excited as he spoke.

“Brother Feng, think about it. Aren’t you working so hard in the county because you want to be transferred to Yuhang to develop in the future? If you can woo her, her family will support you. You can do no wrong in the future.”

Zhou Feng was a little excited and could not even control his emotions.

“It seems that Guo Lu’s benefits arc much greater than Li Sijin’s.”

“Of course. Li Sijin is just a little prettier than her and has a better figure, but Guo Lu isn’t bad either. There’s no need to get hung up over her.”

“You’re right!”

Zhou Feng’s eyes were filled with golden light. “d.a.m.n it, she’s been here for more than half a year. Why did you only just realize this? If I had known earlier, I would have definitely taken her down!”

“It’s because we never had the chance to work together. Otherwise, I would have known long ago.”

Zhou Feng looked at his watch. “It’s already past eleven. It’s almost time for dinner. I’ll ask her out for a meal.”

“Then I wish Brother Feng success, haha…”

“It’s a small matter.” Zhou Feng laughed and said, “It’s not easy to control someone like Li Sijin, but I’m very confident in dealing with Guo Lu.”

“Look at how she usually dresses and walks. One look and you can tell that she’s a vixen. With Brother Feng’s methods, you will have no problems.”

“Hahaha, no need to praise me. Come with me to take a look.”

“Let’s go.”

Soon, the two of them arrived at the office and happened to see two people carrying bags of various sizes to Guo Lu’s office.

Not long after, the two people who came to deliver the things left the office again. The two of them didn’t think much of it and walked in.

Zhou Feng noticed Guo Lu’s attire.

She was wearing blue jeans and black high heels. Underneath, she was wearing a low-cut black blouse and a tulle jacket that made one’s imagination run wild.

On Guo Lu’s desk were more than ten lunchboxes of various sizes, as well as all kinds of dishes.

In addition, there were a few boxes of fruits in another bag. The spread was very sumptuous.

Zhou Feng was shocked. One look and he could tell that she was the eldest daughter of a rich family. She actually ate such a huge feast for lunch. Why didn’t he realize that her family was so rich in the past?

“Yo, Director Guo, your lunch looks quite sumptuous,” Zhou Feng greeted with a smile.

“Fortunately, fortunately.”

Guo Lu tidied up the food on the table, but was not in the mood to pay any attention to Zhou Feng. The latter did not mind and found an excuse to strike up a conversation.

“Can you finish all the food you bought for lunch yourself?”

“I’m not eating it myself. I’m going to send it to someone else.”

Zhou Feng smiled. He felt that Guo Lu was quite good at these tricks.

She bought so many good things with the obvious intention of gifting them to her superiors. Even though she comes from a wealthy family, she seems to understand quite a bit about the ways of the world when it comes to interpersonal matters.

“You bought so many things at once. You can’t carry them yourself, right? Coincidentally, I don’t have anything to do. I can help you.”

She had already finished, so he could only postpone the lunch invitation.

However, it did not matter. He had plenty of time anyway. He could just ask her out tonight.

This was not an urgent matter. He had to take it step by step.

“Won’t this delay Director Zhou’s lunch?”

“No, I’m not hungry yet.”

Guo Lu combed her hair and said politely,

“I’ll have to trouble Director Zhou then..”
