Watching Du Kongting so full of confidence, Zhou Hongtong's lips curled up into a strange smile, "Good, then let's go along with Brother Du's plan and start with Yang Zixuan! As for the operation, Brother Du, you arrange everything!"

"Okay, Little Brother Hongtong, please go back and tell your respected brother that I, Du Kongting, will absolutely not tolerate Ling Zhenfei, that kid, sabotaging our alliance. Tell him to be at ease; this time, I'll definitely give Ling Zhenfei a good thrashing and present him with a big gift."

Every word of Du Kongting and Zhou Hongtong's secret discussion in the next room was heard by Ling Zhenfei without missing a beat.

Just now, in his rage, he really wanted to charge over, break through the door, and give the two scoundrels a good beating. But if he did that, he would undoubtedly have ruined Han Lian's plan of "playing the long game to catch the big fish."

With thoughts racing through his mind, Ling Zhenfei had no choice but to temporarily suppress the anger in his heart.

Du Kongting wanted to start with Yang Zixuan, didn't he? Fine, he'd wait without a hint of his intentions to see what sort of commotion this old fox could stir up!

Thinking of Yang Zixuan, Ling Zhenfei remembered that he had been quite busy these past few days and hadn't even had the time to visit her. Now was the perfect opportunity to see her and casually remind her to be a little more cautious these days.

"Zi Xuan, long time no see. What have you been up to lately?" After getting through to Yang Zixuan's phone, Ling Zhenfei asked affectionately with his first sentence.

"Is that Big Brother Ling? Li Hao, I'm at the company. Is there something you need from me?" Yang Zixuan sounded extremely happy to hear Ling Zhenfei's voice, and she answered promptly.

"Oh, it's nothing big..."

Of course, Ling Zhenfei wouldn't speak the truth over the phone, so after a moment's thought, he said, "Zi Xuan, don't leave the company just yet, I... will come over for a visit!"

"Okay, Big Brother Ling, it's great that you're coming to the company!"

Upon hearing that Ling Zhenfei was coming to the company, Yang Zixuan's voice was even more ecstatic, "You haven't been back since you left the company! Even though the company is no longer the same one, everyone is still here, and they all miss you a lot. Come back and see us soon!"

Yang Zixuan's words really stirred up Ling Zhenfei's nostalgia for his time working at the company.

Although the company was only considered a third or fourth-tier private company in Binyang City, and Ling Zhenfei had only worked there for a few months after graduating from college, the mutual respect and affection among the colleagues had left a deep impression on him.

If it hadn't been for Fan Tong, that rotten apple, Ling Zhenfei wouldn't have wanted to leave the company at all!

After hanging up the phone, Ling Zhenfei was a bit excited, hurriedly pushing the door open and heading downstairs, ready to leave the restaurant.

"Boss, where are you going?" Fatty had finally finished the work at hand, and when he saw Ling Zhenfei preparing to leave, he quickly called out to him.

"I've got an urgent matter to deal with," Ling Zhenfei replied, giving Fatty a vague answer as he couldn't tell him the real situation.

He had only taken a few steps when he turned back and extended his hand to Fatty, "By the way, lend me your car to drive."

Fatty, having made a good amount of money in recent years with his restaurant, was driving a Ferrari worth around three million.

Fatty squinted his eyes, which were two small slits, with a knowing smirk of an experienced driver flickering in them, and without a word, he took out his keys and handed them to Ling Zhenfei.

"Who's flirting with girls? I have serious business to attend to! You think I'm like you, carrying your fat self around in your car all day either gambling or chasing after girls?"

Ling Zhenfei gave Fatty a deadpan look of disbelief and took the car keys.

"Heh, Boss, don't try to fool me. With you being such a charming and impressive figure, it would be a waste not to flirt with girls."

Fatty laughed oddly, wiped his nose with his hand, and his habit of speaking nonsense surfaced instantly, followed by a wave of head-shaking and sentiment.

"Boss, I'm not criticizing you, but with your current wealth, buying a luxury car worth millions is no big deal for you. But I just don't get it, why do you spend all day riding that broken tricycle?

Plus, look at you, you could totally live off your looks, charm girls with your face, but why do you insist on relying on your abilities instead?

By the way, Boss, where are you planning to hit on girls this time? How about we go together, I can introduce you to a few good spots..."

Fatty, this guy, had skin thicker than the city walls. Despite the presence of many customers in the restaurant hall, he had the gall to say all this in public, which immediately attracted the stares of many people around them.

Seeing those ambiguous and disdainful looks from the crowd, Ling Zhenfei felt so embarrassed he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

While Fatty himself didn't feel any shame, Ling Zhenfei felt embarrassed for him!

And looking at Fatty still rambling on endlessly, Ling Zhenfei admitted defeat with a sweat on his brow and fled the restaurant as if escaping...

Driving that ostentatious Ferrari, Ling Zhenfei was actually very low-key.

When he arrived at the small company, seeing the familiar scene in front of him, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but remember all the details of his previous work there, filled with a surge of emotions.

He parked his car and walked toward the company.

"Hey, stop right there, this isn't a place just anyone can walk into." Just as Ling Zhenfei approached the company entrance, a security guard wearing a large-brimmed hat stopped him.

The guard looked very young and unfamiliar with Ling Zhenfei, the "veteran employee," obviously not recognizing him.

"Sorry, buddy, I'm here to see someone."

Seeing the security guard's arrogant attitude, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but frown and had to state his business directly.

"Looking for someone?" The guard sized Ling Zhenfei up after hearing his words.

Then, with a look of disdain and suspicion, he said, "Go away, our company is a subsidiary of Lin's, and you, a construction worker, what kind of person are you looking for here? Better leave now, the person you're looking for isn't here!"

Ling Zhenfei was casually dressed, in plain clothes, and indeed looked like a construction worker. The guard judged him by his appearance and started mocking him right away.

"Construction worker?"

On hearing this, Ling Zhenfei's brows furrowed even tighter, and he stared at the security guard with eyes sharp as knives: "From what you're saying, do you look down on construction workers? What's wrong with them? Are they beneath you?"

"You..." The guard was at a loss for words from Ling Zhenfei's rebuttal and could only glare at him furiously, barking, "I've got no time to waste talking nonsense with you. In short, this isn't a place for any Tom, Dick, or Harry to just waltz in. Get lost now!"

"Hmph, I'll tell you one more time, I'm here to see someone, now get out of my way!" Ling Zhenfei showed no fear towards the guard's fierce demeanor, uttered sternly, and attempted to stride through the door.

"You're arrogant, kid!"

Seeing that Ling Zhenfei was actually trying to force his way through, the guard became furious and lifted his rubber baton to strike Ling Zhenfei on the forehead.

"Looking for death!"

Ling Zhenfei coldly snorted in his heart, his eyes flashing with a cold light, about to teach this contemptuous guard a lesson, when he suddenly heard a shout from inside the hall: "Stop!"

The voice wasn't loud, but it was penetrating. Just as the guard was about to commit an act of violence, the shout made him step back involuntarily, not daring to proceed.
