Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!
Chapter 177: The Old Drunk’s Intent Is Not the Wine
CHAPTER 177: CHAPTER 177: THE OLD DRUNK’S INTENT IS NOT THE WINE
As soon as the words were spoken, the doorbell of the presidential suite rang.
The subordinate’s expression tightened, and Sun Liguo gave him a look.
He immediately retreated to the small room where Ye Tong was staying, urging the people inside to be quieter.
The Sun Family bodyguard standing in the living room, under Sun Liguo’s instruction, took down the video phone from the wall.
"May I ask who you are?"
A handsome man smiled and replied, "Hello, I am Feng Lei, and I’d like to visit the boss of Jia Ying."
"There’s no Jia Ying boss here, you’ve got the wrong room."
"That’s not right, Ye Tong told me it was this room." Feng Lei looked surprised, but his tone was very confident.
Sun Liguo’s gesture paused for a moment, and after pondering for a while, he signaled the bodyguard to let Feng Lei in.
Since Ye Tong was being tight-lipped, he might as well chat with this Young Master Feng from the Feng Family.
The bodyguard immediately opened the door and let Feng Lei in.
Feng Lei’s hair in front was a bit up, and he wore a well-tailored dark blue suit, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a white shirt underneath, and a light striped tie around his neck. He looked young, handsome, and vibrant, no wonder so many beautiful actresses in the entertainment circle went from stirring rumors with him to wanting to marry him.
Feng Lei’s breathing was somewhat unsteady, but at this moment he seemed to be suppressing it, coughing a few times at the door.
"Sorry, I’ve got a bit of a cold lately." Feng Lei slightly bowed his head, then skillfully took out a black mask from his pocket and put it on.
The mask was something he often carried, and at this moment it served a purpose.
"No need to wear that, our boss doesn’t mind." The bodyguard, seeing Sun Liguo’s facial expression, hurriedly invited him in.
Feng Lei followed suit, took off the mask, and stuffed it back into his pocket, then followed the bodyguard’s gestures and walked inside.
Sun Liguo’s face didn’t appear in trending searches as often as Feng Lei’s, but Feng Lei had his own channels to find out that the man behind Jia Ying was Sun Liguo from the Sun Family.
"President Sun, I’ve always wanted to find a chance to meet you, and it just so happens that Jia Ying’s annual meeting is being held in Sea City, so I came uninvited. I hope I didn’t disturb you."
Feng Lei was courteous and polite, his expression showing no awkwardness from coming uninvited, instead displaying the smoothness of someone adept in business.
Jia Ying’s annual meeting wasn’t a secret within the circle; anyone interested could find out the time and place with a little inquiry.
It’s not surprising that Feng Lei, as the president of Xingyu Group, would know about it.
Sun Liguo kept a calm demeanor and nodded slightly, "Nice to meet you, I’ve always heard Lao Zhang mention President Feng, and seeing you today, you’re indeed young and promising."
"I don’t deserve such praise, I’m just tinkering compared to President Sun, just trying to make a living in the entertainment circle." Feng Lei said modestly.
He sat on the sofa, glancing around, "Hey, President Sun, why don’t I see Miss Ye Tong? She told me she was coming to see you?"
Sun Liguo picked up a cigar, smiled, "President Feng, you seem to have a good relationship with our company’s artists."
Feng Lei looked a bit embarrassed, "I’m pursuing Miss Ye, but she hasn’t agreed yet."
Sun Liguo showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Pursuing?"
"Yes, my meeting with Miss Ye was quite coincidental. At that time, she was still doing group performance work, being brought by a group leader to find Director Lin for an audition..." Feng Lei smiled, briefly recounting their encounters, and sincerely said, "President Sun, originally Ye Tong had some misunderstandings about me, and now that she’s signed with Jia Ying, she’s distancing herself from me even more. I had no choice but to come here to see if I could discuss with you about Ye Tong terminating her contract. Our Xingyu is willing to pay all her penalties..."
Sun Liguo looked at him for a while, the cigar in his hand remained unlit, and after a moment of contemplation, he glanced at his right-hand man, "Termination? Did Ye Tong bring up terminating her contract with us?"
The right-hand man immediately responded, "Boss, she did not."
"She doesn’t want to terminate with Jia Ying, but let’s talk business. President Sun, our Xingyu is very sincere."
Sun Liguo suddenly chuckled, "President Feng, you’re indeed... spending lavishly..."
Feng Lei showed a knowing smile, "So what’s President Sun’s opinion?"
Sun Liguo, with his fingers holding the cigar, tapped it a few times unintentionally by the side, "President Feng, although Ye Tong is a newcomer signed by Jia Ying, she’s quite close with my niece, and suddenly terminating her contract, I can’t explain it to my niece. If President Feng really fancies Ye Tong, we don’t object. You can sign an agreement; there’s no need for her to terminate."
"President Sun, you don’t know how stubborn Ye Tong is. She thinks our two families are rivals, so she won’t even let me get close to her. If it weren’t for overhearing her asking Feng Zhong for leave, I wouldn’t have had the face to chase after her here. President Sun, the price can be negotiated..."
"We must respect Ye Tong’s wishes."
"I can’t get in touch with her, which is why I came to find you. Look at how many messages I’ve sent her, and she’s still got her phone off. The last message said she was coming to see you and couldn’t meet me. Could you let me see her for a moment?" Feng Lei took out his phone, tapped the screen, seeming somewhat entangled.
Sun Liguo glanced at the bodyguard not far away, who quietly slipped out.
"Ye Tong just left not long ago. I’ll have my assistant contact her."
Sun Liguo’s right-hand man immediately took the phone and went out, seeming to make a call.
Feng Lei watched the assistant’s steps expectantly, his eyes full of eagerness for news from his beloved.
The corner of Sun Liguo’s mouth showed a hint of mockery.
This Young Master Feng is really a playboy, huh.
Sun Liguo’s right-hand man pretended to look for Ye Tong, and in a spot where the Feng Family couldn’t see, counted to 15 minutes before returning, apologetically saying, "Sorry, President Feng, Ye Tong doesn’t want to see you."
"Which room is she in? I’ll look for her. I don’t believe she has no feelings for me at all."
Feng Lei’s eyes were full of disbelief as he stood up, pressing toward Sun Liguo’s right-hand man.
He was very tall, and Sun Liguo’s right-hand man could barely reach his lips, the sudden pressure causing him to take a few steps back, "Sorry, President Feng, Miss Ye really doesn’t want to see you. You know you can’t force things, maybe come back tomorrow?"
"No, I must see her today..."
At this moment, Feng Lei was like a passionate male lead who wouldn’t give up until he saw Ye Tong, making Sun Liguo’s gaze gradually deepen.
"President Feng, wanting to see Ye Tong so badly, your intention is not in just a drink at the bar."
Feng Lei’s expression didn’t change as he turned to look at Sun Liguo, "President Sun, I want to talk to Ye Tong face to face. If she personally rejects me, I won’t bother her anymore!"
The confrontation in the eyes of the two men collided in the air, neither giving in.
Sun Liguo was the first to laugh, "President Feng, isn’t today’s show tiring?"
Feng Lei’s face turned a bit colder, "As long as it’s for the woman I care about, no matter how tiring, it’s worth it."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became very tense, with Sun Liguo’s bodyguards now glaring at Feng Lei with ferocity.
Sun Liguo tapped his fingers on the cigar, over and over, not knowing how long it was before he suddenly asked:
"Young Master Feng, are you sure you want to make an enemy of our Sun Family for a woman?"
