413: Chapter 413 Hurry! Get ready!

"Forgive?" Chen Fei chewed on the word and gave a bitter smile. "Someone like her doesn't even care about forgiveness. She's just too lazy to bother with me. In her eyes, I'm probably not even as good as an ant."

The Vice General Manager opened his mouth, wanting to say something complimentary or comforting, but nothing came out. He knew Chen Fei was telling the truth.

The other subordinates in the office looked at each other, not daring to make a sound.

Just moments ago, they were popping champagne with Young Master Chen to celebrate, and in the blink of an eye, they had witnessed what it meant for there to always be someone better.

That Lei Jun, whose name they had never even heard of before, actually had such a terrifying background.

Thinking back to their arrogant behavior earlier, and the threats and mockery they had sent to Tianqiong Technology, a wave of lingering fear rose from the bottom of their hearts.

If that Miss Lei really wanted to pursue the matter, people like them wouldn't even count as cannon fodder.

Chen Fei was silent for a long time before suddenly pushing himself up from the armrest and standing.

He walked to the window and looked out at the night view of Longcheng. The neon lights flickered and traffic flowed like a web; this was the world he had been familiar with since childhood, the one he thought he could control.

But looking at it now, everything seemed to have become small and surreal.

"No," he muttered to himself. His voice was soft, but loud enough for the subordinates behind him to hear. "I can't just let it go like this."

The subordinates' hearts skipped a beat. Was Young Master Chen still not giving up? Was he going to continue?

Chen Fei turned around. The violence and arrogance on his face had vanished, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness and... fear?

"I have to apologize in person. Formally, sincerely, and with the utmost earnestness."

He looked at his subordinates, his tone more solemn than ever before.

"An apology over the phone is too light. She might not hold it against me, but I can't act like nothing happened. My dad was right; if there's even a tiny bit of resentment left in her heart, a sword will always be hanging over our Chen family."

The Vice General Manager asked cautiously, "Then... what does Young Master Chen mean?"

Chen Fei took a deep breath, as if he had made a decision. "Prepare everything. Use the highest standards, the best venue. I want to formally host Miss Lei and apologize to her face.

At all costs, I want her to feel my sincerity. If she's willing to grace us with her presence, it will be a huge honor for our Chen family. If she doesn't come..."

He paused, a flash of fear in his eyes.

"Then I'll keep begging and keep waiting until she's willing to give me this chance."

The subordinates looked at each other, but no one dared to raise any objections.

They immediately went into action, using all of the Chen family's connections and resources to find out Lei Jun's whereabouts, book the best banquet venue in Longcheng, and prepare the most precious gifts.

...

The next morning, Lei Jun was basking in the sun.

The sunlight in Longcheng was much gentler than in the Magic City, feeling warm on her body.

Lei Ying walked over silently, holding a tablet.

"Miss, that Chen Fei from last night expressed a strong desire to visit and apologize in person through multiple channels today.

He used almost all of the Chen family's connections in Longcheng, even finding a deputy secretary-general in the province to help mediate. His attitude... is very sincere, one could even say fearful."

Lei Jun took the tablet and casually glanced at the dense request messages on it, a faint curve appearing at the corner of her lips.

This Chen Fei was a bit smarter than she had imagined.

He knew a phone apology wasn't enough and wanted to settle the matter completely in person.

This attitude at least showed that he and the Chen family behind him were truly frightened and understood the gap between them.

She picked up her flower tea, took a light sip, and fixed her gaze in the distance.

She was thinking: should she give this Chen Fei a chance to apologize in person?

From a purely practical standpoint, it wasn't necessary.

The matter was resolved, Tianqiong Technology was out of danger, and Chen Fei was scared out of his wits; he would definitely never dare to make another move.

She didn't need to waste any more time on such a minor character.

But from another perspective... agreeing this time might bring the matter to a more perfect conclusion.

Chen Fei and the Chen family would become a living 'billboard' in Longcheng and even further—letting them personally spread the word about what happens to those who offend her...

And what kind of sincerity is required from those who receive her forgiveness...

This would help reduce similar, unnecessary troubles that might arise in the future.

Moreover, Qin Yu and the others would be developing in Longcheng in the future. Having the Chen family owe them a huge favor would also benefit the future path of Tianqiong Technology.

As for herself?

Meeting this 'young master' who used to be arrogant and was now terrified, and seeing him apologize, wouldn't be without its charms.

Just consider it... watching some entertainment.

She put down her teacup and said to Lei Ying, "Tell him I'm free tonight. Let him choose the place, but I don't like it too noisy."

Lei Ying nodded immediately. "Understood. I will convey your requirements and have him arrange all the details to ensure your safety and comfort."

Lei Jun waved her hand. "With you and A Fu around, I'm not worried about safety. Let him handle the arrangements himself."

Lei Ying turned to handle it.

Lei Jun looked down at A Fu. The little guy was looking at her with round eyes, his tail wagging gently. She reached out and rubbed A Fu's head, chuckling, "I'll take you to a big feast tonight, though there might not be much you can eat. I'll have Su Qing make something delicious for you separately then."

A Fu gave a "woof," seemingly expressing satisfaction.

When Chen Fei received the news that "Miss Lei Jun is free tonight" from that deputy secretary-general, he almost knelt down on the spot.

After hanging up, he was stunned for several seconds, then suddenly jumped up and ran wildly around the office, startling his subordinates.

"She agreed! Miss Lei agreed!!" He grabbed the Vice General Manager's shoulders and shook him hard.

"She's willing to give me this chance! Quick! Get ready! Bring out all the best things! I want Miss Lei to see my utmost sincerity!"

All the resources that Tengda Technology and the Chen family could mobilize were instantly deployed.

Chen Fei personally took command, overseeing every detail and ensuring every step was perfect.

The location chosen was the most high-end, most private, and never open to the public 'Cloud Top Club' in Longcheng.

This club was located on the top floor of Longcheng's tallest building, requiring a dedicated high-speed elevator to reach. There were only a few private rooms on the entire floor, specifically used to receive top political and business figures.

Usually, if Chen Fei wanted to come himself, he had to book in advance.

But today, he booked the entire club.

He personally finalized the menu with several of Longcheng's best chefs. The ingredients were all top-tier items flown in from all over—black gold abalone from Australia, Matsuba crab from Japan, Gillardeau oysters from France, Kobe A5 wagyu beef, Iranian Almas caviar... Every dish was carefully designed to reflect extreme luxury without being too greasy or complicated, fitting the taste of someone with Lei Jun's status.
