56: 56.Xu Ting is a little confused

The secretary didn't dwell on it and led the two of them down the carpeted corridor.

Pushing open the heavy door to the reception room, Lu Feng saw Xu Ting casually sitting on the sofa, a slice of pizza in her hand.

Seeing them, Xu Ting smiled, raising the food in her hand and saying, "Xiao Lu, you're here. Have you eaten? Want to join me?"

Her attitude was very relaxed and approachable, as if she were greeting an old friend.

However, when Xu Ting saw Yu Tianxiong behind Lu Feng, she subtly adjusted her sitting posture, her expression instantly becoming serious, revealing the cool and distant demeanor of a female CEO.

Lu Feng took the wet wipe offered by the secretary to clean his hands, smiling as he said, "I haven't eaten yet, but let's talk about food later, Sister Xu. I'm here on serious business this time."

The secretary timely held up a tablet next to Xu Ting, displaying information about Tingfeng Capital.

"Yu Tianxiong?" Xu Ting frowned, carefully scrutinizing the unfamiliar face before her, but she couldn't place him among the figures in their circle.

However, it wasn't her fault for not recognizing him; Yu Tianxiong had been developing overseas for decades and had long since become detached from the domestic entrepreneurial circle. Some leaders in the energy industry might still know of him, but after his incident and five years of silence, those who might have remembered him would have long forgotten.

As for other industries, it was even less likely they would know.

"It's me. Hello, Chairwoman Xu." Yu Tianxiong extended his hand and shook hers.

"Thematerial shows that your Tingfeng Capital was only established a few days ago. Your most recent move was an extreme operation in the stock market, doubling your earnings in just a few days. Your trading methods are very clever."

"You flatter me."

Yu Tianxiong sat opposite her, composed, exuding an extraordinary aura in his every gesture. He didn't look like an ordinary investor, but rather the chairman of a large corporation.

This couldn't help but make Xu Ting look at him with higher regard, and she became even more curious, asking, "A businessman and a student, how did you two meet?"

She had been holding onto this question for a long time.

"We're considered friends despite the age difference," Lu Feng said casually, picking up a slice of pizza and taking a bite.

Yu Tianxiong nodded, "Mr. ..."

"Cough, cough..."

Yu Tianxiong paused, then immediately corrected himself, "Mr. Lu and I are indeed friends despite the age difference. His knowledge is profound, and every conversation with him brings me new insights and benefits me greatly."

Xu Ting's previously serious expression froze, and the secretary's pen also paused, her face bewildered.

Did she mishear, or did the other party... say it in reverse?

Shouldn't it be that you, an investor, are knowledgeable and bring different insights to Xiao Lu?

Lu Feng also rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit helpless. He knew that Yu Tianxiong was quite rigid and found it difficult to change things once he had decided on them.

Since he became Lu Feng's subordinate, he didn't want to overstep, even verbally. So, his inherent loyalty always made him unconsciously show reverence for "Mr."

He sighed, originally intending to keep a low profile to avoid unnecessary trouble, but now it seemed to be getting more complicated.

Lu Feng could only put down the pizza and said helplessly, "Alright, Sister Xu, I'm not pretending anymore. I'm coming clean. This is actually my company."

Xu Ting's eyebrows furrowed into a chrysanthemum shape: "Xiao Lu, are you serious?"

Yu Tianxiong also breathed a slight sigh of relief. In his mind, Lu Feng possessed supernatural powers. While not quite a divine being, he was definitely above humans, inspiring an innate sense of awe.

Therefore, that reverence had long been etched into his bones.

Yu Tianxiong spoke, "Chairwoman Xu, Tingfeng Capital is indeed controlled by Mr. All policies and directions are centered around him. I am merely an agent under Mr."

He spoke with conviction, and the two people present understood that he wasn't joking.

The entire reception room fell into an eerie silence, both of them stunned speechless.

The secretary finally understood what was amiss. This Yu Tianxiong was too respectful to Lu Feng, never speaking on his own initiative, completely acting like a subordinate.

Xu Ting looked at Lu Feng as if he were a stranger.

Although she admired Lu Feng for being able to negotiate with company executives alone without falling behind, such a person would undoubtedly achieve great things in the future.

But that was in the future! How could he be... extraordinary now? Not only had he established an investment company, but he was also starting to seek cooperation with a large company like Donghai Group?

"Wait, let me process this. You mean you established a private equity firm? And that incredible stock market operation a few days ago was also your doing?"

Lu Feng said frankly, "That's right! This time, I'm eyeing a piece of land in Xinghai City and plan to acquire it using your company's qualifications, Sister Xu."

Xu Ting took a deep breath and drank a large glass of water, still finding it hard to digest such shocking news.

This young man, who once worried about medical expenses, was now going to operate a real estate project worth hundreds of millions?

"But... where did you learn... these business tactics?" Xu Ting still couldn't help but ask.

"Uh, well... cough, cough... I learned it by reading books," Lu Feng said without batting an eyelid.

Xu Ting looked at him suspiciously, clearly not believing him, but since he was unwilling to say, she wisely didn't press further and brought the topic back.

"Which specific plot of land?" Xu Ting asked.

Lu Feng calmly replied, "An unfinished building in the old street of West District, Xinghai City. It's a Starry Sky Real Estate project."

As soon as Lu Feng finished speaking, the secretary next to him retrieved the relevant documents from Donghai Group's data repository.

Xu Ting took one look and shook her head, "This plot of land is rated D, which means extremely poor, with no investment or development value whatsoever, in our internal assessment. Xiao Lu, are you sure you want to take over?"

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something: "Wait, where did you get so much money?!"

Lu Feng gave Yu Tianxiong a look, and Yu Tianxiong calmly said, "The money is in the minivan in the underground B2 parking lot, enough to cover it."

The secretary couldn't help but turn the tablet to display the information: "Look, this isn't a tens of millions project. To take it over, you need at least 300 million. Do you have enough for that?"

Yu Tianxiong's expression remained unchanged as he nodded and said, "Yes, we do."

Xu Ting: "..."

Lu Feng smiled and stood up, saying, "Sister Xu, I said I'm borrowing your qualifications, and that's all it is – borrowing qualifications. We'll raise the funds ourselves. If you don't believe me, we can go take a look together."

Xu Ting didn't believe Lu Feng was a reckless person, but it was also very difficult for her to believe he had so much money. The only way was indeed to see it with her own eyes.

So, the group of four took the elevator directly downstairs to the B2 underground parking lot.

When they saw the muddy, foul-smelling silver minivan, Xu Ting and the secretary couldn't believe it, but when the trunk opened, all disbelief turned into shock.

Stacks of cash bricks were neatly arranged, emitting a greedy allure under the dim lights of the parking lot.

Lu Feng casually picked up a stack, tore open the outer paper, and the shocking red bills were revealed!

Gasps of cold air filled the scene.

Inside... there were actually several hundred million in cash!!
