Chapter 258 Do You Want to Starve to Death If I Don’t Come?
In less than a week after the additional investment, an eye-catching news headline appeared― “The boss of Gather Sift Takeaway has thrown in another 600 million yuan. Are You Hungry has been repeatedly thwarted in various big cities!”
Bezos was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He called Chairman Xiong and questioned him, “Is this what you mean by having difficulty?”
Chairman Xiong felt wronged. He had only relayed Luo Feng’s words to determine if Bezos wanted to invest more. “I’ll make another call…”
He was also very curious where Luo Feng got so much money and why he could add investments after investments.
“Hello? Chairman Luo, didn’t you say that you don’t have any money? Why did you add another round?” Chairman Xiong didn’t hide it anymore. The first thing he said when the call connected was to get straight to the point.
Luo Feng replied very sincerely, “Chairman Xiong, you came at the right time. I was just about to share my joy with you. I won the lottery two days ago. It was exactly 600 million. Don’t you think it’s a coincidence, hahahaha… Hello? Chairman Xiong? Why did you hang up?”
After putting down the phone, Luo Feng was only happy for two minutes before he turned to the snaking long queue in front of his desk, filled with employees waiting to report to him.
Luo Feng did not rest for a moment when he returned to the school.
The outside world only saw him spending money. Hundreds of millions were just a headline or a news report of a few hundred words.
However, when it came to Luo Feng, no matter how much money he spent, it would become work items that he had to deal with.
When he was in Shanghai, there were mountains of documents on Luo Feng’s desk. However, there was too much work to report from Xie Yan, so they simply lined up in front of Luo Feng’s desk.
During this period of time, everyone at Gather Sift Takeaway was crazy busy.
The number of orders had increased exponentially, and the Technical Department needed to strengthen the server overnight.
With the new market, the Human Resources Department and the joint publicity department released advertisements to recruit people. They also had to be in charge of follow-up training.
Xie Yan was keeping an eye on the development app during this period. It was already coming to an end.
Among the many jobs, Luo Feng valued the development of the application the most. Even if he was busy, he had to personally ask about his progress. He had already entered the last few stages.
Even though there was a lot of work that could be decided with a word and was handled very quickly, there were also many situations that Luo Feng did not know how to deal with. He could only discuss it with Xie Yan and the others and cross the river.
Previously, Xie Yan’s team had all lived in the company because the company was facing a crisis. The office was already very cramped, but they still had to make room for Luo Feng.
The higher-ups of the company each had a sleeping bag, and many employees below were working overtime.
However, compared to the last battle, everyone’s mentality changed when Luo Feng returned with the funds. Exhaustion did not affect everyone’s enthusiasm.
At night.
The lights on the Gathering Sift’s floor were still on.
There were especially many things to do today.
People kept coming to report their work, and Luo Feng sat on the stool without moving his butt. The takeaway he ordered at noon was placed aside without being touched.
A male employee and colleague came out to take a breather.
“Wow, Boss Luo hasn’t left the office for the entire day. His body won’t be able to take it if this continues,” his colleague said worriedly.
As there were many people entering and leaving the office, the door was always open. The employees passing by could see what Luo Feng was doing at a glance.
During this period of time, the employees below were working overtime until they were about to vomit. They would complain a little from time to time, but because Luo Feng worked more overtime than them, everyone’s mood was still very stable.
“That’s right. We can still lie down for a while when we get home from work. They live in the company and work when they open their eyes. It looks so hard.”
The boss was working harder than the employees. The employees saw this and their tempers were a little better.
“Sigh, I wonder how long I have to work overtime. This bone of mine is really…”
Just as the two of them were chatting, a gentle voice interrupted the topic.
“Hello, may I ask where Luo Feng’s office is?”
Ai Tingya stood elegantly in front of the two of them with a thermos box in her hand. She had a gentle smile on her face, as if it had its own gentle light. The two employees were stunned for a moment and stood rooted to the ground. “Hello?” Ai Tingya greeted him again.
The last time she came to Gathering Sift was when Hao Yingqiang was blackmailed. Therefore, many employees in the company did not know Ai Tingya.
“Ah… Ah… You mean our boss?” The male employee came back to his senses and blushed. He stuttered incoherently, “The… office… is there!”
He pointed at the open door a few steps to the side. “Thank you.” Ai Tingya thanked him softly and quickly walked into the office.
The two people behind her looked at her beautiful figure and their noses itched, as if they could smell the residual fragrance in the air. It was as intoxicating as the fragrance of wine. They looked at each other and understood the sorrow in each other’s eyes. So what if he went home to lie down after work? He was still alone! “Hmph, someone even brought food to him when he’s working overtime…” The male employee said sourly. “No wonder the boss likes to work overtime so much!”
Knock, knock- There was a knock on the office door.
Luo Feng did not even look up. He pointed at the small table beside him. “Put the information over there first. I still have a few pages.
Ai Tingya, who had entered, carried the thermos box and looked at the mountain of information and takeaway that had yet to be touched on the table. Her eyes were filled with heartache. She stood quietly at the side, her gaze lingering on Luo Feng’s face. Luo Feng waited for a while and realized that the person who entered did not put out any information. He thought that he had some oral report.
“What’s wrong? What…”
Before he could finish, Luo Feng looked up and saw Ai Tingya’s gentle smile. “Tingya, why are you here?” Luo Feng suddenly stood up. Perhaps it was because he had not seen her for too long, his heart was beating wildly and he was actually a little nervous.
Rumble- His stomach complained at an inappropriate time.
Ai Tingya pouted. “You might have starved to death if I hadn’t come.”
After Luo Feng returned, he hurriedly returned to the company. He was so busy that he did not even have time to send Ai Tingya a message.
Xie Yan was the one who informed Ai Tingya, otherwise, she would have thought that Luo Feng was still in Shanghai.
She knew that Luo Feng was very busy and did not want to disturb him. Are You Hungry and Gathering Sift were getting along very well after all. Many news newspapers were reporting about the two companies. Luo Feng had shown that he was not inferior to Amazon, but the outside world actually thought more highly of Are You Hungry. This was because Amazon was behind them.
With their strength, it was not a problem for them to fight another two to three rounds. Many experts analyzed the current situation and felt that the reason why they were evenly matched was mainly because Amazon was not serious yet.
The experts felt that Gather Sift Takeaway would have no chance of winning once Amazon took it seriously!
Under such an environment of public opinion, everyone had the impression that Gather Sift Takeaway was very brave.
It was precisely because of this that everyone in the company was like a tense string under the pincer attack of many pressures. Ai Tingya did not want to distract Luo Feng because of her.
However, she would subconsciously think of Luo Feng when she saw the dark circles under Xie Yan’s eyes in class every day. She was really worried.
