Chapter 28 Su Group
The glass curtain wall of the building reflected blue light in the morning light, and Lao Tang could see the building from a distance, so he couldn't help but sigh.
"Your development here is quite good, it's starting to feel a bit like my life in America." He leaned against the car window, looking at the buildings and then at his own faded clothes, hesitating.
"Does this outfit just not quite match my style...?"
Seeing that Lu Mingfei didn't respond, he turned around and saw Lu Mingfei sticking out his butt, opening the seat, and taking something out of the trunk.
"What are you doing?"
"Getting you ready to change your clothes." Lu Mingfei said matter-of-factly, taking out the bags from the back seat and tossing them onto his lap.
"Change them, these are all things I prepared for you in advance." Lu Mingfei seemed a little smug at this moment. "Each one of these was handpicked by me, guaranteed to make you shine!"
"No...is that so?" Old Tang looked at the clothes in the bag, pulled out the price tag, and stared at the price on it. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "Is this something I can wear?"
"What's wrong with that? Relax and wear it! You know you're with me now, how can you dress so cheaply?"
Lu Mingfei waved his hand dismissively, displaying the demeanor of a big brother.
"If the two of us brothers attack together, how could we possibly stand a chance against them?"
............
Maybach slowly drove into the roundabout and stopped. As the doors opened and closed, the two people got out of the car.
Lu Mingfei walked ahead, his hands tucked into his trench coat, exuding an air of confidence and charisma.
Behind him, wearing a black Burberry trench coat and a white Hardy Amies shirt, Old Tang, who was a little uncomfortable in his black leather shoes, gradually adapted to the rhythm and kept up with Lu Mingfei.
"Are you the person Mr. Su is waiting for?"
In front of the building, a bespectacled man walked up, looked the two of them up and down, and finally stopped on Old Tang's somewhat comical face. As if he had confirmed something, he bowed down.
"President Su has been waiting for you for a long time. This way, please!"
"Okay," Lu Mingfei replied, taking the initiative and speaking to Lao Tang, "Please lead the way."
............
"President Su, the person has arrived."
After knocking lightly, the secretary pushed open the glass door to let Lu Mingfei and his companion pass, then closed the door and waited with her hands behind her back in front of it.
"We've been waiting for you for so long!"
Behind the large nanmu desk, beneath a 4-meter-high nanmu bookshelf that occupies an entire wall, a middle-aged man sprang up from his Stressless leather office chair, a sincere smile on his lips. "I am Su Daqiang, and I have been waiting for you, expert, for a long time."
As he spoke, he wanted to step forward and shake hands, but after looking at their faces, he froze.
As the boss of the group, he could naturally see that the young man on the right was in a dominant position, but... wasn't he supposed to have hired Mr. Ronald on the left?
"Sit down! Quickly, take a seat."
Out of caution, he quickly waved his hand, gesturing for the two to sit down on the sofa, and then spoke.
"Mr. Ronald, right?"
"Yes, it's me." Old Tang nodded.
The middle-aged man nodded, then looked at Lu Mingfei beside him, "May I ask how to address this gentleman Mr. Luo brought?"
"Uh..." Old Tang was stunned for a moment. He suddenly didn't know how to introduce Lu Mingfei.
Tell the other person that this is his online friend from China, and that you just met today, so he can act as his tour guide.
But what will the other party think if we do that?
Most people would feel that he is strict and doesn't value the commission.
If that's what the other side thinks, wouldn't this commission be ruined?
But he can't not say anything; he has to answer the other party, right?
Old Tang: "Uh..."
Just as Old Tang was racking his brains, Lu Mingfei stepped forward: "My surname is Lu. I'm Ronald's brother and his partner on this mission, right, partner?"
"Yes, that's right, he's my partner!" Old Tang said, patting the boy on the shoulder.
"But I see on the website that Mr. Ronald is usually alone?"
The Hunter website is a well-known international black market website where, apart from the privacy of the hunters' identities, almost all other information is transparent.
As an employer, you can find out almost everything about each hunter, including their general abilities, mission history, and typical methods of operation.
Su Daqiang chose Ronald for a simple reason: he was the only one available.
Among the many low-level hunters who signed up, only Old Tang's experience was somewhat relevant; the rest...
Su Daqiang was at his wit's end, so he could only choose the tallest among the short ones.
"Ahem, that's because Mr. Su's request this time is a bit delicate, which is why I asked my brother to come." Old Tang said, then waved his hand, "But don't worry, there won't be any extra charge!"
"I see. It's alright, money isn't a problem." Su Daqiang nodded, looking like he understood.
He thought to himself that he had really found the right person this time, someone who could see at a glance that this matter was not simple.
Little did he know that Old Tang on the other side was stunned by his reaction; he hadn't expected his employer to be so easy to deal with this time.
You just believed it like that?
Does this mean his bluffing skills have improved?
Su Daqiang was unaware of Lao Tang's inner thoughts. Now that he knew the two men's identities were legitimate, a worried expression appeared on his face.
"Since Mr. Ronald is so interested in the mission, I'll get straight to the point."
As he spoke, Su Daqiang took a stack of documents from the cabinet and placed them in front of the two men.
"This is the content of this commission, Mr. Ronald. You can take a look. If you have any questions, please let me know."
"Sure, sure." Old Tang nodded, opened the file, glanced at it, and put it down. "A paranormal event, right? I know, it seems like some special animal is causing trouble, right?"
Lu Mingfei leaned closer, his expression turning strange, and his lips began to twitch.
The complaint was right there on his lips, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
He watched as Lao Tang and Su Daqiang chatted happily, then looked down at the contents of the document.
I was speechless.
He didn't know what Old Tang was thinking. One person was seriously injured, several others were slightly injured, and there were claw marks on the wall—you call this a paranormal event? What kind of ghost would kidnap people at a construction site?
He's now pretty sure it's related to mixed-race people, but there's still one thing he doesn't understand.
It's perfectly normal to ask someone to solve a problem when it arises.
But... why didn't the other party choose to report it to the police and hand the matter over to the local mixed-race people?
After several days of intensive study on the history of mixed-race people, he knew clearly that the number of mixed-race people in China was, if not greater, given the population density. Even though most of them operated within family spheres of influence, how could they stand idly by if trouble broke out?
If things escalate, losing a life is a minor issue, but losing face is a major one.
When he raised his question, Su Daqiang seemed to have been hit where it hurt, and his momentum immediately deflated.
"To be honest, I only recently bought the place where this happened, and I even advanced money to the construction team for its construction, but I never expected this to happen."
"So?" Lu Mingfei still didn't understand.
Old Tang, who was standing nearby, then spoke up: "Is Boss Su worried that if he reports it to the police, the police will block the flow of funds, which will cause the financial chain to break?"
The downside of proactively providing upfront funding after purchasing land is this: you have the land, the bank loan has been disbursed, and even the personnel and materials have arrived.
The money would be recouped as soon as the houses were built and sold; that's how it should have been.
But then things went wrong, and Su Daqiang didn't even dare to think about what the consequences would be if he reported it to the police.
With cash flow exhausted and debts piled up, the company is on the verge of bankruptcy.
This future is something Su Daqiang dares not and cannot imagine. The Su Group is not only his life's work, but also the livelihood of his many employees. Therefore...
"I can pay more!"
