Chapter 775: The Talent of a General
After returning to the villa, Chen Ping took the phone and went off by himself to report the situation to his superiors.
Zhang He looked at Ling Feng, "I won’t stay here any longer, I’m heading back to the county town first."
"What, afraid your wife will worry?"
"That’s part of it, but mainly because I’m not much help staying here!" Zhang He said with a laugh.
His smile had lost its previous brightness, clearly, this matter had also caused quite an impact on him.
So Ling Feng didn’t say much, just nodded, "Alright then, I’ll have someone drive you."
Ling Feng glanced around the estate and saw Yu Nan doing nothing, so he called him over, "Old Yu, take my car and drive Director Zhang."
"Okay!"
Yu Nan nodded and took the car keys.
Ling Feng escorted them to the car and then said to Zhang He indifferently, "Don’t think too much for now. Whatever it is, this is just the beginning!"
"Our perspectives are different, and so are the things we think about. Don’t be too blindly confident before coming to a conclusion," Zhang He said, looking at him.
Ling Feng nodded, "I understand."
As he watched the car drive away, Ling Feng felt a heavy weight on his heart.
His Ling Corporation had just gotten settled in the city, when suddenly this happened. Was it a blessing from the heavens or a disaster?
His thoughts were in turmoil when his phone pinged with a message.
Ling Feng looked at it; it was from Sun Hao: "Got it!"
His eyes widened immediately. He looked around to make sure no one was nearby, then quickly dialed the number, "How did you manage it so quickly?"
"Heh heh, Boss, after you left, I got someone to chop down a few trees to make a long pole and charred it. Then we fished out the box!" Sun Hao said proudly.
Ling Feng was speechless, then laughed, "You’re really something. How’s the item?"
"It’s a bit hot, I buried it in the ground to cool it down. Do you want to come over, or should I secretly bring it to you later?" Sun Hao asked.
"Just leave it there for now, we’ll talk about it later."
After thinking it over, Ling Feng decided to leave the box alone for the time being.
The sun was about to set, and it was getting late, but the people from the Security Bureau should already be on their way. It would be better to wait until they had checked the meteorite crater before dealing with the box.
Hearing what Ling Feng said, Sun Hao nodded, "Got it!"
"By the way, who helped you out? You’re sure the news won’t leak, right?" Ling Feng asked.
"Don’t worry, it’s all our people, my men, and some from the Chu Family. Didn’t let any villagers get near!" Sun Hao replied with a laugh.
"Good, we can’t let too many people know about its existence before we figure out what that thing is!" Ling Feng said.
Sun Hao hummed in acknowledgment, "Understood!"
After hanging up, Ling Feng turned around to see Lin Xue standing far away, watching him, so he walked over with a smile, "Why are you watching me?"
"Is there something at the bottom of that pit?" Lin Xue asked.
"Hmm?"
Ling Feng was taken aback, seeing her intense gaze, then asked with a wry smile, "How did you know?"
"I saw you making eyes at Sun Hao. You were calling him just now, weren’t you?" Lin Xue pressed.
"That’s right."
There was no need to hide it from her, so Ling Feng honestly spoke about the strange box.
After listening, Lin Xue frowned then lifted her head, "How strange, it wasn’t burned to ash?"
Ling Feng: "Yeah, no matter how I think about it, it all seems so unusual, but we can’t open it now, let’s talk about it later."
Lin Xue glanced at him: "Not planning to hand it over to the authorities?"
"Not yet. I’ll figure out what it is first, and if it’s a good thing, I want to hog it all for myself!" Ling Feng chuckled.
Lin Xue rolled her eyes: "Aren’t you afraid that Director Chen will find out and turn against you?"
Ling Feng raised an eyebrow: "If it’s beneficial to the nation, of course I’ll hand it over, but if it’s only beneficial to an individual, I’ll just take action first and report later, rather than let it fall into someone else’s hands!"
"I don’t think so. If it’s not of any use to the higher-ups, they would have definitely given it to you first!" Lin Xue said.
Ling Feng sighed: "That’s hard to say. I’m not the top person in the office, and even if I were, it doesn’t mean I’d get everything!"
"You really think too much!"
Lin Xue gave him a look before saying, "Alright, I’m going to Nine Heavens, the sisters are probably back by now, and they don’t know what happened."
Ling Feng nodded: "Okay, go ahead. I’ll stay here and wait for someone from the top to come!"
The two parted ways. He stepped into the manor’s plaza, where he saw Chen Ping sitting alone in the pavilion, furrowing his eyebrows, so he approached and asked: "How is it going, Director Chen?"
Chen Ping looked up: "Several experts are on their way by plane, but it will take at least two hours. I’ve already asked Du Song and He Bing to prepare the lighting truck, which will arrive soon."
"It will be totally dark by then, indeed we need the lighting," Ling Feng nodded and said.
Then, seeing Chen Ping’s solemn face, he couldn’t help but smile: "Come on, don’t worry so much. The sky isn’t going to fall, is it?"
Chen Ping looked up at him: "No wonder they say you’ve got the makings of a general, but not a commander."
Ling Feng was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
"Generals are in charge of charging into battle, commanders strategize and deploy troops; their perspectives on issues are completely different!" Chen Ping explained.
Ling Feng: "..."
He felt that this remark wasn’t complimentary, so he rolled his eyes: "So what, you think you are the commander then?"
"Anyway, I think further ahead than you do!" Chen Ping said.
Ling Feng was speechless and suddenly lost interest in chatting. He stood up to check the sky: "It’s dinner time, boss. How about I treat you to something novel?"
"What?"
Chen Ping blinked, asking in confusion.
"You’ll find out in due time. Come to my place!"
Ling Feng smiled, deliberately being mysterious.
An hour later, in the backyard of Ling Feng’s house.
"Boss, with such delicious food, shouldn’t we place an order for our bureau?"
After tasting the White Jiao skin, Du Song and He Bing looked at Chen Ping with sparkling eyes.
Chen Ping was also savoring the taste, having never experienced anything so delicious; he felt that missing out on it in the future would be a huge regret in life!
He turned to look at the grinning Ling Feng and couldn’t help asking: "Do you have a lot of this stuff?"
Ling Feng chuckled: "Well, how should I put it, quite a lot!"
"Alright then, get me some samples. When the headquarters and the experts arrive, I’ll have them try it," Chen Ping immediately said.
"No problem at all!"
Ling Feng knew that the director was going to help him market his product, so he nodded swiftly and went back into the house to prepare some more.
After placing it into an insulated bucket, Ling Feng couldn’t resist asking: "Boss, the experts are here to see the meteorite crater, bringing something like this might not be appropriate, right?"
Chen Ping glowered: "That’s not your concern. Just get it for me. But, I have a condition. If I clinch the order for you, you must guarantee a daily supply of this stuff for our division from now on!"
