Chapter 1417: Meeting Your Boss
Chapter 1417: Meeting Your Boss
Feeling that Ling Feng’s attitude was quite perfunctory, Gao Hu was unhappy.
So he glared: "Ling Feng, what do you mean by this? Do you look down on us? I really want to ask how much you earn a month!"
"Well, I don’t know either, can’t calculate it," Ling Feng laughed.
He really didn’t know how to calculate it. He doesn’t receive a salary at the security bureau, isn’t aware of Ling Corporation’s income situation, and recently his earnings are all external funds, which can’t be considered a salary.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
Upon hearing Ling Feng’s words, Gao Hu clicked his tongue: "This big claim, even Huaxia’s richest knows their income, yet you’re even better, can’t calculate it!"
"He’s not lying!"
Xun Qianqian’s face turned cold: "Ling Feng doesn’t need to lie to you. It’s been nearly two years; I really missed you, but you two came in with such a strange attitude. It’s best you head back quickly!"
Upon hearing her issue an eviction order, Gao Hu was startled, then looked aggrieved: "Don’t be like that, Qian Qian. We didn’t mean it. You know I’ve liked you since we were kids. I’ve been writing to you from the Capital City but you never replied. It’s rare to see you return with a boyfriend; isn’t that stabbing my heart?"
Xun Qianqian rolled her eyes at him: "We’re childhood friends, not betrothed. What does me having a boyfriend have to do with you?"
"But what does this guy have over me? I’m now earning over ten thousand a month, how many can match me in town?" Gao Hu asked unwillingly.
"I don’t know about others. Anyway, I’m not interested in money right now, I have higher pursuits!" Xun Qianqian said.
"Not interested in money?"
Gao Hu and Deng Qiang were stunned, trading glances, both feeling somewhat incredulous.
To prove her point, Xun Qianqian took out her credentials: "None of you even asked what I’m doing now and want me to go to Duan Feihong’s hotel? Even if I go, she wouldn’t know how to arrange me!"
Looking at the credentials, security bureau, deputy director, these words seemed like a heavy hammer landing on Gao Hu’s heart that he almost lost his balance.
He then raised his head in disbelief, looking at Xun Qianqian: "Did you make a fake certificate?"
"Ugh!"
Xun Qianqian immediately got angry. Joining the security bureau was something she felt was most honorable, hearing the other say this, how could she not be upset?
She reached out to snatch back her credentials: "Believe it or not!"
"You didn’t even attend college, how could you be a deputy director?" Gao Hu was still doubtful.
"That means Qian Qian is a special talent!" Ling Feng laughed.
Gao Hu was already feeling annoyed, he couldn’t help but glare at Ling Feng upon hearing this: "Did I ask you? Are you asking for a beating?"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng was at a loss for words, realizing this guy was indeed worked up.
At this moment, Xun Qianqian looked at Gao Hu: "Tiger Bro, thought you were quite sensible as a kid, didn’t expect after two years in the Capital City you’d become more lacking in social sensibility. Our village is small, but you’re not the only exceptional person. You look down on Ling Feng, do you believe he can make a call and you lose your job?"
"Don’t say that, not likely!"
Ling Feng had long lost interest in competing. Hearing Xun Qianqian say this, he hurriedly responded.
As a result, Gao Hu seemed to latch onto evidence and pointed at Ling Feng while speaking to Xun Qianqian: "You’re still backing him; looks like he’s feeling guilty himself!"
Xun Qianqian rolled her eyes, looking at Ling Feng: "You better show him a thing or two, otherwise this guy might strut around the village!"
"Alright."
Ling Feng was helpless too, took out his phone, found Duan Feihong’s number, thought for a moment, and directly dialed a video call.
The ringtone sounded, but after a minute, no one answered, and it automatically hung up!
"Haha, keep acting, let’s see how you continue the show now!" Gao Hu laughed triumphantly.
But just as he finished speaking, Ling Feng’s phone rang, Duan Feihong called back.
After connecting, seeing her wearing a safety helmet with her back to a construction site, Ling Feng laughed: "Are you really investing in a hotel?"
"Huh? I haven’t even told Jiaolan about this, how do you know?" Duan Feihong asked doubtfully.
Ling Feng chuckled: "I just happened to run into two of your good employees, one named Gao Hu, another named Deng Qiang, both say they’re under you!"
"Really?"
Duan Feihong pondered for a while, turned to look at her secretary beside her: "Who are Gao Hu and Deng Qiang?"
"Never heard of them. I’d need to ask the HR department," the secretary replied.
"No need, I was just casually asking."
Ling Feng laughed, then said: "That’s not right, you’re investing here and you didn’t even inform us!"
"Don’t be mad, I wanted to give you a surprise," Duan Feihong said somewhat embarrassed.
"I’m not mad. Since you’re in the county, that’s perfect. Everyone should have a good time during New Year; I’ll ask Chen Yan to pick you up later!" Ling Feng said with a smile.
"Sure, I couldn’t be happier, let’s say it’s settled!" Duan Feihong said with a big smile.
After exchanging a few words and hanging up, Ling Feng looked up and noticed Gao Hu and Deng Qiang’s faces had turned pale.
The two of them were a bit shocked.
They indeed had no opportunity to speak with Duan Feihong, rarely even seeing her, given the big disparity in rank!
But they were well aware of Duan Feihong’s work style; she was always serious, icy!
Yet, now she was so warm toward Ling Feng, even having a tone with a hint of teasing, completely shattering their perception!
To have such a person as their leader, who could they be?
The two were bewildered, while Ling Feng chuckled: "Alright, do you believe now that I’m acquainted with Duan Feihong?"
"Believe, we believe...."
Gao Hu swallowed: "Ling Sir, what kind of person are you actually?"
"The biggest enterprise in our county, Ling Corporation, is his. Don’t look down on people from small towns. Even returning from the Capital City, aren’t you just as uninformed?" Xun Qianqian rolled her eyes at him with some annoyance.
Gao Hu looked embarrassed: "So that’s how it is. I figured, with the kind of boyfriend Qian Qian would find, how could he be an ordinary person."
Ling Feng laughed. This guy was just petty due to jealousy, he hadn’t done anything too outrageous, and Ling Feng didn’t plan to hold it against him. Seeing that the two were now behaving, he said: "Alright, once you get back, work hard. With your pay, you can definitely have a good life in the future; just act a bit more low-key!"
"Yes, yes, we certainly will. Thank you, Ling Sir!"
Gao Hu, realizing Ling Feng wasn’t going to hold a grudge, nodded fervently, then he and Deng Qiang hurriedly left the room.
Seeing Xun Daqiang and his wife outside, the elderly couple wanted to invite them to stay for a meal, but how could they still have the face for that? They quickly made up an excuse and left in a hurry.
