Chapter 263 The First to Cut the Ribbon
“Still a long way to go!”
Liu Feng made a toast to Li Zepeng. After drinking the wine, Liu Fengzheng said seriously, “We wouldn’t know each other if we didn’t have a fight. I believe we will become good friends.”
“I also have the honor of your friendship. If you encounter any problem in the future, just inform me. As long as you are on the side of truth and right, I will definitely stand with you.”
Li Zepeng filled the glass with wine and drank a toast to Liu Feng.
...
At about nine o’clock in the evening, Liu Feng reached the Charming Day Bar.
Together with him were Zhao Zhiyin and Wei Zixuan. The former was his quondam classmate at the Technology University, and the latter was a member of the Sanda Club at his university.
They sat in a box and had a cozy chat.
“Zhiyin, you are still a freshman now. I am actually a little bit sorry for letting you leave the university at this time.”
Liu Feng said with joy and didn’t seem to be sorry at all. What was more, his voice even became persuasive and showed a sense of seduction. “But I think you are a talent, so I want to recommend you to Yang’s Group. And you can learn from the Chief Financial Officer of the group for some time. When Donghai Energy Corporation is established officially, I may rely on you to manage it.”
Faced with the invitation from Liu Feng, Zhao Zhiyin appeared to be really excited. He replied without hesitation, “No problem. I will go to the university and go through the suspension procedure tomorrow. And I will get to Yang’s Group to check in at noon tomorrow.”
Wei Zixuan, next to Zhao Zhiyin, also spoke out. “Brother Feng, I agree, too. But please don’t fool me. I can temporarily work as the head of the Security Department in Yang’s Group now. But after your Donghai Energy Corporation is listed, I want to work with you.”
“Certainly. It will be a process of learning and exercising for you two to work in Yang’s Group.”
Liu Feng said demurely, “We are classmates as well as friends. I will never treat you bad. But I should make the ugly words ahead. I invite you guys because I trust you. So I hope you can take your responsibilities for them at that time. Do you understand?”
“Get it! Brother Feng, I promise that the Financial Department of Donghai Energy will never spend a penny by mistake under my management. And there will never be any error in our account books.”
“Me too. The Security Department of Donghai Energy will definitely work as a bastion of iron under my management.”
Hearing the promises of these two guys, Liu Feng smiled with satisfaction.
“Wei Zixuan, I think there is still some room for the improvement of your kung fu. During the time when you work as the head of the Security Department in Yang’s Group, I will find a new master to teach you. What do you think?” Liu Feng asked.
The eyes of Wei Zixuan suddenly brightened. “That’s great! Brother Feng, how powerful is my new master?”
Liu Feng answered with a smile, “Not stronger than me. But if compared with Fu Zhankui who is your original master, he can easily beat down five people as strong as Fu Zhankui.”
“Wow. Okay, I will learn from him.” Wei Zixuan said excitedly.
The next afternoon, Wei Zixuan and Zhao Zhiyin arrived at the building of Yang’s Group at the same time.
With the recommendation from Liu Feng, Yang Shiwen received them and arranged for them in person. After checking in with the staff of the Personnel Department, they were appointed formally.
It was believed that Zhao Zhiyin was clever enough to make great progress soon under the guidance of Dai Raoer.
As for Wei Zixuan, since he used to practice the martial arts, he was rather strict with himself as well as the requirement of his underlings. Therefore, the Security Department of Yang’s Group took on an entirely new look immediately in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, Liu Feng asked Ghost King to come to Yang’s Group. Ghost King, one of the soul-reaper messengers, would instruct Wei Zixuan in practicing kung fu in normal times. This decision made by Liu Feng was of profound meaning. A person at the same level as Ghost King could not only guide Wei Zixuan in kung fu, but also give instruction in assigning the security guards and ensuring the safety of the company. He was indeed a specialist in these fields.
With the guidance of the Ghost King, Wei Zixuan was bound to progress at a tremendous pace.
Three days later, a sensational event happened in Donghai City. Invested by Maya Ventures in Donghai City, Donghai International Carbon Fiber R&D Company was formally established.
This carbon fiber company covered an area of nearly 100,000 square meters. All the R&D equipment was imported with original packaging from Europe. And a large number of experts from abroad had joined the company.
The Chief Investment Officer of Maya Ventures, Mr. White, showed up at the front of the company’s main entrance in high spirits today. A group of provincial and municipal leading cadres also showed up. Some of them even came here from the capital and other metropolises to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony of this new company.
Among them were Vice Governor Duan, who was in charge of economic development in Donghai City, and Vice Governor Shui, who was in charge of education...
“Old Duan, you have done a great job this time. Maya Ventures not only invested a huge amount of money to establish this company, but also directly brought the most advanced carbon fiber technology of Europe to Celestial Empire. You really...” Shui Qingxin stood next to Vice Governor Duan, raising his eyebrow delightedly.
Vice Governor Duan couldn’t help laughing and said with joy, “Old Shui, I have actually benefited from the association with Liu Feng. In fact, as the vice governor responsible for education, you have also benefited from that young man. At least he made a hit in the Universiade. He is really the pride of people who live in Donghai City.”
Ho-ho! Ha-ha!
The two vice governors felt refreshed because something sensational just happened to them. They smiled sincerely from the bottom of their hearts with no the complicated side of official airs at all which ordinary people had imagined.
At this time, many people also surrounded Mr. White and cottoned up to him.
“Mr. White, you just have a unique eye. You just contributed to such a large investment of Maya Ventures in Donghai City. You are the friend of the men from Celestial Empire forever!”
“Mr. White, would you mind us inviting you to visit Yanhai or the capital at your leisure time? Both the economic environment and investment environment will be much better in these cities. In Celestial Empire, there are a great number of big companies waiting to cooperate with Maya Ventures!”
“Mr. White, you will definitely be the first to cut the ribbon in the following ribbon-cutting ceremony!”
Most of the people who could cotton up to Mr. White in this way were very powerful celebrities of the commercial circles in Celestial Empire.
Even if Mr. White had seen many of these things and was too old to be vainglorious, he was still satisfied with a ruddy face and laughed from ear to ear at this time, faced with the adulation of these people.
Just then, an inopportune sound came out.
“Come on. It’s just a little ribbon-cutting ceremony. When the hell will it begin?”
It was a young man under thirty years of age who just spoke. He obviously wore a meticulously tailored suit under the cloak of a gray windbreaker. Wearing a pair of black sunglasses on his face and holding a cigarette between his lips, he continued to complain while vomiting a smoke. “In such a cold day, we have to wait here simply for the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Do they want to freeze people to death? Sh*t!”
“What? Who is this guy? You can leave if you don’t want to wait!”
“Apparently, he must be a dude from one of the wealthy families. But I am just wondering which family would send this stupid guy here.”
For a moment, someone immediately flung a scornful look to this young man. Some people even sneered at him ironically in a whisper.
However, someone suddenly whispered in a hurry. “Sh! Don’t talk nonsense. This man comes from the capital. He is Master Yan, one of the Four Masters in the Capital.”
“D*mn it. He is really Master Yan of the Yan’s Family in the capital. His name is Yan Mingyu!”
“Why is he here? I’ve heard that sometimes Master Yan is very low-profile. But sometimes he will give anyone no face when he loses his temper.”
When someone told his name and identity, many people did not dare to make comments about him in a sarcastic tone.
And Master Yan actually walked to Mr. White with the cigarette between his lips. In the face of such a mighty childe, people around Mr. White had to make way for him on their own initiative, although they were dissatisfied.
“Mr. White, when will you start cutting the ribbon? Could you hurry up?”
Master Yan said as he spat out a cloud of smoke. “I’m freezing cold now. You are a foreigner. Don’t you want to learn from people in Celestial Empire and wait for an auspicious occasion to cut the ribbon? Listen to me! Hurry up to cut it. And then I still have something to talk with you!”
His words were neither too kid-glove nor too rough. But there was an irrefutable attitude in his words. Especially, his last sentence that he still had something to talk with Mr. White, showed a clear sense of superiority.
Mr. White raised his hand and touched his curly hair which was just like the instant noodle. He said with a frown, “Sorry, I am waiting here for the honorable Mr. Liu. At today’s ceremony, Mr. Liu must be the first to cut the ribbon.”
“Who is the honorable Mr. Liu? Why should we wait for him to cut the ribbon?”
Master Yan said impatiently, “How about letting me be the first to cut the ribbon? I am rather honorable and more exalted than Mr. Liu that you just said.”
When Master Yan said these words, a hush fell over the scene immediately.
Meanwhile, Mr. White got angry and said harshly, “Please excuse me for being blunt. Mr. Liu is ten thousand times more honorable than you. You don’t deserve to be the first to cut the ribbon.”
