Chapter 1060: A Bit Complicated
The gloomy male voice on the phone said, "Traffic jam, I didn’t expect Capital City to be even more congested than America now!"
"You haven’t been back for years, the changes here are huge, take your time to adjust!"
Duan Zixuan chuckled and then said, "Tonight, the elders at home might be a bit late, or they might not come at all. That’s good, I can give you a hand!"
"Help me? No need. I can handle Duan Feihong myself!" the other side sneered.
"Don’t be so confident; Feihong is not a teenage girl, those spoiled young master tricks for chasing girls are completely useless!" Duan Zixuan said.
"You don’t need to worry about that, you should worry about the mess you’ve stirred up yourself!" the other side said.
Duan Zixuan frowned, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes: "Since you don’t need my help, forget it, just don’t regret it later!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
Then Ling Feng saw him squinting his eyes, tilting his head back, draining the glass of liquor, and then angrily said, "Wu Hua, you don’t even give me face, just you wait!"
Ling Feng was secretly surprised, not understanding the situation.
It seems that this blind date is not as simple on the surface!
It’s evident that this guy surnamed Wu has an agenda, and this Duan isn’t a good fellow either, what are they up to?
Duan Zixuan seemed a bit agitated now, loosened his tie, stood up, and turned around, preparing to go to the hall.
At that moment, his phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, his body trembled!
Hesitating whether to answer or not, Duan Zixuan stared at the screen blankly for a full twenty seconds!
Eventually, he answered and then asked with a smile, "Brother Zheng, are you looking for me?"
"Zixuan, what are you busy with?" a middle-aged man’s voice came through.
"There’s a drinks party at home, I’m entertaining the guests," Duan Zixuan said with a placating smile.
The person called Brother Zheng responded with a grunt, then said, "Then I won’t disturb you, just a reminder, you need to make a payment in a week, you still remember the amount, right?"
"Clear, clear, I won’t forget!" Duan Zixuan said, nodding and bowing.
"That’s good, I just didn’t want you to forget, I’d get angry if you can’t come up with seventy million by then!" Brother Zheng said.
Cold sweat broke out on Duan Zixuan’s forehead, he quickly laughed and said, "Rest assured, Brother Zheng, I won’t make you angry, I’ll definitely gather the money on time!"
"That’s good!"
The other party said three words and then directly hung up the phone.
Duan Zixuan’s face was filled with lingering fear, wiping the sweat off his forehead again.
Ling Feng was utterly perplexed watching from the side.
Why did this kid get so scared by a phone call? What does this Brother Zheng do, scaring him like this?
It seems he owes someone seventy million; indeed, that’s not a small amount.
From this, Ling Feng also learned what was troubling Duan Zixuan; he definitely did not have that much money.
After carefully tidying himself up and drying the sweat, Duan Zixuan took a deep breath and then pushed the door to return to the hall outside.
Ling Feng followed him out with great interest, thinking it seemed there was going to be a show to watch soon.
Only whether the main character of the drama would be Duan Zixuan or that Wu Hua, was yet to be known.
Feeling there was no longer any need for Invisibility, Ling Feng went to the restroom, then deactivated the Invisibility status and returned outside.
Upon reaching the observation deck, Chen Yan and others saw him appear and immediately asked, "How did you show up?"
"Nothing much, just not used to that state!"
Ling Feng smiled and looked at Duan Feihong, asking, "Is the person who came with you for the blind date surnamed Wu?"
"Yes, did you hear others mention it?" Duan Feihong asked.
"Yeah!"
Ling Feng nodded and then inquired, "What’s the situation with this Mr. Wu’s family?"
"His parents are in the energy sector; their family environment is quite okay." Duan Feihong didn’t think much and lightly added.
"Quite okay?"
Ling Feng was taken aback upon hearing this and then asked, "Isn’t high energy a highly profitable industry? Are you saying their business isn’t making money?"
"I’m not very sure; I just heard they have developed a few oil fields overseas, but haven’t seen much crude oil come out of it, might have been deceived." Duan Feihong spoke.
"So, does that mean their business might be in trouble?" Ling Feng continued to ask.
Duan Feihong shook her head: "I’m not sure about that, I’ve only heard it mentioned occasionally, but haven’t verified it."
"Oh, I see." Ling Feng nodded.
"Uncle, you are asking quite thoroughly, do you know something?" Chen Yan asked.
Ling Feng smiled and looked at Duan Feihong: "Regarding Mr. Wu, do you have plans to pursue a further relationship with him?"
Upon hearing this question, Chen Han and Ye Qian both pricked up their ears.
Yang Guang also looked at Duan Feihong, curious about what she would say.
Feeling everyone’s gaze, Duan Feihong blushed, "What are you thinking? I’ve already said this was according to my family elders’ directions, I simply didn’t want them to lose face, I don’t have plans to find a boyfriend right now!"
"Oh, then I’m relieved!" Ling Feng nodded.
As soon as he spoke, the gaze of Chen Yan and others turned towards him, filled with insinuations.
Ling Feng knew they misunderstood and quickly explained, "You bunch of gossipy guys, my concern is Mr. Wu seems to have impure motives; it’s right for Feihong not to date him, to avoid being exploited!"
"Is that so?"
Yang Guang smacked his lips, "I thought you were thinking about..."
"Stop causing trouble, there are fruits and pastries over there, go eat!"
Ling Feng glared at her, then said to Duan Feihong, "There’s something off about your cousin too, it seems like he owes people a lot of money, I’m not sure how today’s event will turn out, just be careful!"
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Ling!" Duan Feihong nodded.
At this moment, Duan Zixuan, with a smile, came out from the hall, approached Ling Feng, and hesitated before asking, "Who is this gentleman?"
"My name is Ling Feng, Mr. Duan, nice to meet you!" Ling Feng answered.
"Mr. Ling is a client and friend of my hotel; he wasn’t here earlier, so my cousin didn’t see him," Duan Feihong explained.
"I see, welcome Mr. Ling!"
Duan Zixuan said before telling Duan Feihong, "Wu Hua just got back from America and isn’t familiar with the specialties of Capital City, hence he was stuck in traffic and will probably arrive later."
"Oh, got it!" Duan Feihong nodded.
"I really don’t get it, what are the old folks thinking, that guy Wu has been in America for so many years, totally assimilated, why introduce him to you?" Duan Zixuan continued.
Ling Feng, listening by the side, immediately understood this was dissatisfaction with Wu Hua’s earlier impolite tone over the phone, and he came to meddle!
