Ling Zhenfei chuckled and pocketed the account book, saying, "Director Zhou, you'll visit our company tomorrow. Once you and Young Miss Lin have signed the contract, I'll return this account book to you in its original form. For now, I'll keep it safe for you. Farewell!"

Without waiting for the Zhou brothers to react, Ling Zhenfei slipped out of the CEO's office.

"Brother, what should we do, should we chase after him?"

Seeing Ling Zhenfei escape, Zhou Hongtong was about to chase after him when Zhou Hongsheng shouted loudly, bringing him back. Regretfully, he said, "Even if you catch him, can you beat him? Forget it, let's just do what he said. We'll go to Lin's tomorrow and sign the contract!"

"But, Brother, we've already negotiated with Du Kongting..."

Zhou Hongtong looked anxious, but before he could finish speaking, Zhou Hongsheng waved his hand impatiently and gritted his teeth, "We're in no position to care about Du Kongting right now. Tomorrow, we'll go together. For now, let's just follow the kid's instructions. We'll have our chance to deal with this kid later!"

No sooner had Ling Zhenfei left Hongsheng Corporation than he received a call from Lin Yuluo.

It turned out that despite Ling Zhenfei's confident assurances earlier, Lin Yuluo knew the Zhou brothers were not to be trifled with and had been worried about him the whole time. Seeing that he hadn't replied for such a long time, she called anxiously to inquire about the situation.

"It's fine, Yuluo. Everything has been taken care of. Tomorrow morning, Director Zhou will come over to sign the contract with us!"

Ling Zhenfei responded with a calm smile, speaking with an air of tranquility as if discussing something completely unrelated to him.

"Really?" Clearly, Lin Yuluo had trouble believing Ling Zhenfei's words.

After a moment's pause, Lin Yuluo spoke with concern, "But just moments ago, Du Kongting notified several shareholders, claiming he had obtained Zhou Hongsheng's authorization and that Director Zhou is also scheduled to come to the company to sign the contract tomorrow morning. What... what's actually going on?"

"Heh..."

Ling Zhenfei, upon hearing this, gently patted the account book in his chest and displayed a radiant, sunny smile. He spoke carelessly, "Zhou Hongsheng loves to joke around. Maybe Du Kongting was fooled by him...who knows?"

"But, Zhenfei, Zhou Hongsheng, he..."

Even through the phone, Lin Yuluo couldn't see Ling Zhenfei's expression, but her worry wasn't alleviated one bit.

In her heart, she even thought that, given the current situation, it was more likely that Ling Zhenfei had been tricked by Zhou Hongsheng...

"Alright, my Young Miss Lin, when it comes to handling things, you can just relax! I assure you that you'll definitely be able to sign the contract smoothly tomorrow. As for the Du family father and son... let them go stay wherever it pleases them!"

Just as Lin Yuluo was hesitating to speak, Ling Zhenfei already reassured her with a few words and then hung up the phone.

Ling Zhenfei wasn't worried at all about what tricks Zhou Hongsheng might play tomorrow. Now that the account book was in his possession, he essentially controlled Zhou Hongsheng's lifeline. No matter how cunning Du Kongting was, he couldn't dream of taking the contract away.

Now, all Ling Zhenfei had to do was to enjoy the show tomorrow!

The next day, Ling Zhenfei arrived at Lin Corporation especially early and saw that Lin Yuluo was already there.

"Zhenfei, you're here..."

Lin Yuluo clearly hadn't slept well the previous night due to her worries. As she looked distressed, seeing Ling Zhenfei arrive, she approached him and said anxiously, "The Du family father and son have already gone to the conference room..."

"Don't worry, they can't stir up the sky."

Ling Zhenfei smiled and winked at Lin Yuluo, then looked at the time, "Guess Zhou Hongsheng will be arriving soon, too. Let's go to the conference room as well!"

"Hmm!"

At that moment, Ling Zhenfei had become the pillar supporting Lin Yuluo's faith. She looked at him with deep affection, then walked with him toward the conference room.

Inside the conference room, the Du family father and son, Zhuang Buxian, Hua Xiangyang, and other shareholders were already sitting uprightly, waiting there.

Having discussed and finalized the contract terms with Zhou Hongsheng yesterday, Du Kongting was quite pleased with himself, and both father and son wore smug expressions.

Zhuang Buxian sat there with a solemn face, neither angry nor happy, and no one could guess what he was really thinking.

As for Hua Xiangyang, he would have liked to act arrogantly, but remembering how he was beaten up by Ling Zhenfei yesterday, his attitude had mellowed considerably. Even when he saw Ling Zhenfei and Lin Yuluo enter, he shrank back a bit, revealing a tinge of fear.

"Humph, kid, you sure got here quite early!"

Seeing Ling Zhenfei had come again, Du Kongting couldn't help but express surprise in his voice and snorted coldly, "Don't forget, within three days, he who signs the contract with Hongsheng first, will be the winner!"

"I certainly haven't forgotten, but just now Yuluo told me you had already talked about the contract, so I specially came over to see!"

Ling Zhenfei glanced at him and let Lin Yuluo sit in the chairman's seat, then promptly pulled up a chair to sit next to her.

"Humph!"

At his disregard for formality, Du Kongting was so angry he was about to explode, but he couldn't say anything and could only let out another cold snort of anger.

"Dad, I think this kid is simply a toad lusting after swan meat, overestimating his own capabilities!"

Having a deep hatred for Ling Zhenfei, Du Xiaowei glared angrily at him and snapped, "Kid, don't get too smug. We've already secured the Hongsheng contract; you have no chance of winning, so you might as well leave now!"

"Is that so? The Hongsheng contract was really taken down by you so quickly? Are you sure you aren't just bluffing? Because bragging shouldn't be done carelessly!"

While Du Xiaowei spoke with pride, Ling Zhenfei just gave him a cold look and doused him with a bucket of cold water.

"You..."

With another fierce glare at him, Du Xiaowei shouted resentfully, "Kid, if you don't believe it, then just sit here and see how I use the contract to slap your face in a moment!"

"Heh, slap in the face, huh? I'm sorry, but that's also one of my specialties!" Ling Zhenfei retorted, refusing to show weakness and throwing the words right back at Du Xiaowei.

Enraged, Du Xiaowei was about to argue back, but Du Kongting shot him a fierce look and then turned his icy gaze to Ling Zhenfei, and said ominously, "Kid, don't speak too confidently; once Director Zhou arrives, you'll know!"

"Oh, is that so? Then I shall wait and see!" Ling Zhenfei also sneered, casually sitting back to wait.

In less than ten minutes, hurried footsteps could be heard outside the conference room door. When the door was pushed open, everyone saw the staff leading Zhou Hongsheng and Zhou Hongtong, the Zhou brothers, in!

"Director Zhou, Vice President Zhou, you've arrived!"

Seeing the Zhou brothers, the Du family father and son immediately stood up and welcomed them with full courtesy. Lin Yuluo, Zhuang Buxian, and the other shareholders thought for a moment and also stood up, but Ling Zhenfei still sat there unperturbed, acting as if he hadn't even noticed the Zhou brothers.

"Ling Zhenfei, you're being very rude. The two Directors Zhou are esteemed guests of Lin's Group, and you dare not stand up to greet them?"
