Chapter 435 Dad's Conflicted Thoughts, Hard to Detect
The dishes were served one after another. Everyone's stomachs were already rumbling with hunger. When they saw the delicacies that looked, smelled, and tasted good, they could not hold back anymore.
"Eat, eat. You must have been hungry long ago," Luo Feng said.
As the host, he picked up a piece of fish belly for Ai Tingya first. Cui Enqiao, who could read the atmosphere, immediately cheered. "Aiya, President Luo really dotes on his wife."
It made everyone laugh.
The originally gloomy atmosphere became more relaxed, but it was quickly pulled down by the stern-faced CEO Cheng Senior.
He knew that he could not convince Luo Feng so he threw a fierce gaze in front of CEO Cheng. His bell-sized eyes could speak. "Hurry up and settle it! Otherwise, you'll be in trouble!"
CEO Cheng had just picked up a piece of meat and was about to put it into his mouth when he inexplicably shivered. The meat fell into his bowl and he lost all his mood.
He pursed his lips and put down his chopsticks helplessly. He turned to look at Luo Feng.
"CEO Cheng Senior, why aren't you eating?" Luo Feng noticed the exchange of glances between the father and son and took the initiative to attack. "Are you still conflicted about what happened just now?"
It did affect his mood after this farce.
CEO Cheng Senior knew that his words were useless, so he let CEO Cheng handle it.
CEO Cheng suddenly became sensible and his attitude became much more humble. "President Luo, I was insensible previously and made a random offer to affect your plan."
"I sincerely apologize to you. Let's follow the procedure."
Luo Feng first let out a long sigh, confusing everyone.
It had been a long time since he had used his specialty. He felt a little rusty.
Luo Feng said, "CEO Cheng, didn't you say you wanted to be friends? Are you going back on your word now because you think I'm not a good friend?"
"No, no." Facing CEO Cheng Senior's death glare, CEO Cheng's hair stood on end. He hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "I cherish President Luo as a friend. It's my fault for doing things unkindly. I want to redeem myself."
The three of them had similar excuses. CEO Cheng Senior insisted on returning the money so that he could work with Luo Feng in the future and not be so ugly.
That was because he didn't believe in verbal promises, especially words spoken at the dinner table.
It wasn't his first day of doing business, so how could he not know how to say the right words? Or rather, it was embarrassing to believe the right words. Coincidentally, his biological son believed it.
It was better to tie the relationship with practical benefits.
CEO Cheng Senior wanted to settle the scores before establishing a new partnership. Otherwise, he would be easily manipulated if he was at a disadvantage.
However, he did not know that Luo Feng's thoughts were completely opposite to his.
Luo Feng did not like to beat around the bush. Working with someone as straightforward as CEO Cheng was open and fast, and very efficient. Unfortunately, CEO Cheng did not have much capital in his hands, and it was all controlled by CEO Cheng Senior.
Thinking of this, Luo Feng suddenly had a plan.
He said, "CEO Cheng, given the current situation, you can't convince me, and I can't convince you, right?"
CEO Cheng thought to himself, "That's right. It's all because of that stubborn old man. He didn't even eat."
However, he did not dare to show it on his face. He repeated with a bitter smile, "CEO Luo, please consider it carefully."
"Why don't we cooperate?" Luo Feng replied.
He thought about it very clearly. CEO Cheng's qualifications were mediocre and could not compare to Xie Yan's. He lacked experience and capital, but his family's situation could completely make up for this shortcoming.
Luo Feng was originally considering the collaborators of the hospital. CEO Cheng Senior's family indeed had the strength.
His solution was completely on par with what CEO Cheng Senior had in mind, CEO Cheng Senior was immediately overjoyed.
To be safe, CEO Cheng Senior pretended to be reserved and calmed down. He coughed lightly to break the awkwardness and said, "I wonder what kind of cooperation President Luo is talking about?"
"But I still think it's better to not mix things up." After saying that, he felt that it was inappropriate and added.
Luo Feng said, "I know your concerns. These two things don't conflict. Listen to me in detail first."
No one expected the class to start on the spot.
Luo Feng was famous after all. A few words were comparable to half a month of other people's lessons with regards to his investment insights. It was indeed better to listen to a wise man's words than to study for 10 years.
Other than Ai Tingya, who was used to it and continued to replenish her nutritions, the others decisively put down their chopsticks and craned their ears, waiting to be enlightened.
Luo Feng said, "I happen to have the idea of opening a chain hospital, but I have too many things on hand. I'm busy, so I want to find a partner."
"I heard that your family is in real estate. I wonder if you're interested in opening a new industry."
"This…" CEO Cheng Senior choked for a moment and suddenly became kind and amiable.
Everyone knew that the pharmaceutical industry was very profitable. Even if the world ended and human civilization was destroyed, hospitals would still be the last to close down.
Didn't CEO Cheng Senior want to do it?
Of course, he wanted to, only a fool would not agree to the legendary Luo Feng taking the initiative to cooperate.
CEO Cheng Senior almost couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
He took a deep breath and pulled back his last bit of rationality. "May I ask, what's the reason for working with us?"
Luo Feng smiled and said, "Because I think CEO Cheng is not bad. Even though he's a little young, there is a characteristic about him that we can't compare to."
When CEO Cheng heard this, he was so touched that he almost cried.
He looked at Luo Feng as if he was looking at a prodigy. He wished he could rush out of the stable immediately and kick the ignorant horseman far away.
"President Luo…" CEO Cheng sniffed, not knowing what to say.
When CEO Cheng Senior saw how useless he was, he got angry. He snorted to remind him to restrain himself.
"President Luo, don't worry about him. Let's continue." CEO Cheng Senior acted like he was the head of the family. He was in charge of all the small matters in the family.
Even if CEO Cheng was already an adult, he could not escape his father's control.
Luo Feng saw all of this and could not help but pity this person.
"CEO Cheng Senior, I'm very willing to work with you, but it seems like you're not willing to let go. To be honest, this makes things a little difficult for me."
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell what Luo Feng meant.
"This…" CEO Cheng Senior was speechless and did not know how to answer.
In his eyes, CEO Cheng was still young and worried about letting him fly alone.
Moreover, CEO Cheng had taken the money to start a business and bought a nursing home that was about to close down. This made CEO Cheng Senior speechless. He did not have the conditions to let go at all.
However, he could also tell that Luo Feng was not joking.
He really had the intention to cooperate!
For a moment, CEO Cheng Senior doubted his judgment. Had he misjudged his son, or had Luo Feng misjudged him? Why was he suddenly willing to cooperate with this kid?
"President Luo, since you've already said so much, there's nothing I can't say," CEO Cheng Senior said. "It's mainly because my son is disappointing and doesn't deserve your favor. President Luo, please consider carefully about the cooperation."
He seemed to be very worried that his son would cause trouble. Even if he rejected the partnership that he had yearned for, he did not want to let CEO Cheng fly on his own.
