Chapter 1465 This is just the beginning

"Mr. Luo, you're too kind. It's our honor to wait for such a talented young man as you."

The middle-aged man, referred to as President Wang, chuckled and handed over a glass of champagne, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping over Luo Feng's back.

"That old fox..."

Luo Feng's heart tightened. He turned slightly to avoid the other man's gaze, then raised his wine glass and clinked it lightly with his.

"Mr. Wang, you flatter me. Whether Suqi can achieve anything in the future depends entirely on the support of all our distributors."

After a few pleasantries, Mr. Wang changed the subject and lowered his voice, saying, "Mr. Luo, I think I saw you with a lady in the corridor just now..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Naoko's voice suddenly interrupted.

"Mr. Wang, I'm sorry to bother you, but a dealer representative from Qatar flew all the way from Doha and said he really wants to talk to Mr. Luo about a collaboration on customized models. Would you mind having Mr. Luo go there first?"

She smiled and stood between Luo Feng and President Wang, naturally bumping Luo Feng with her shoulder and giving him a look that said, "Get out of here!"

As Luo Feng's woman, you must have the ability to resolve situations.

Luo Feng understood immediately and said, "Mr. Wang, I'm so sorry, I need to take care of some urgent matters first. We can talk in detail later."

Seeing this, Mr. Wang had no choice but to nod and say, "Alright, Mr. Luo, you go ahead with your work. I'll wait for you over there."

Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief as he followed Lin Naizi quickly to the other side of the banquet hall.

"Thanks, I almost got bombarded with questions just now."

"Why are you thanking me?"

Lin Naizi glanced at him sideways, her tone teasing, "But you, you came back from the bathroom with your back all wet, and someone even saw you standing with Su Mu. If I hadn't saved the day, you'd probably be questioned all day long."

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng paused, his brows furrowing as he turned around. "How did you know?"

"Ningbing saw it. She went to touch up her makeup and saw you and Su Mu at the corner of the corridor, but she didn't dare to go up to them. She came back and told me."

Lin Naoko's voice turned somber, "She didn't think much of it, just assumed it was a chance encounter, but I always felt something was off, the dampness on your back..."

"It was spilled coffee."

Luo Feng hurriedly tried to explain, but felt that the more he explained, the worse it got, so he could only say helplessly in the end.

"Things aren't what you think. I'll explain in detail later."

Some things are like that; the more you say, the more mistakes you make, so it's better not to say anything at all.

As they were talking, Bai Ningbing came over with two glasses of juice. Her expression wasn't very pleasant, but she still handed one of the glasses to Luo Feng.

"Have something to drink first, don't just keep drinking champagne, we still have several groups of people to meet later."

For some reason, he always felt that Bai Ningbing was pointing that out to him.

Luo Feng took the juice and didn't bother to think about it anymore; at least his frustration subsided a little.

"Thank you."

Who was that man in the suit who came looking for you just now?

Bai Ningbing suddenly asked, "I saw him hand you something, and it seemed like you two talked for a long time."

Luo Feng hadn't expected them to notice even this, so he had no choice but to be frank: "Chen Mo of Xingyao Capital wants to discuss cooperation with Su Qi and ask me to be their strategic partner."

"Star Capital?"

Lin Naizi's expression changed upon hearing this. "That firm has been making a lot of moves overseas recently, especially in the automotive supply chain. Is there a problem with them suddenly asking you to cooperate?"

"I also felt something was wrong,"

Luo Feng nodded, "The conditions they offered were too tempting, and they bypassed Brother Jun and came directly to me. They must have a purpose behind it."

"What's more, Su Mu's company just received investment from Xingyao three months ago. If I agree to cooperate, I will become her direct supervisor."

Bai Ningbing and Lin Naizi exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

"So you refused?" Bai Ningbing asked.

"Yes, I refused on the spot." Luo Feng said firmly, "I don't want my relationship with Su Mu to become more complicated, and the most important thing right now is to stabilize Su Qi's development and not let her be led by capital."

Lin Naoko breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you can figure it out. Star Capital has always been domineering. If we really cooperate with them, who knows what kind of trouble will arise."

“That’s right. No one can stop Suqi’s development. Brother Jun has already told me to expand the market here. I already know what to do.”

Just then, Luo Feng's phone suddenly vibrated; it was an unknown number.

He frowned and walked to a quiet spot to answer the phone.

"Mr. Luo, how have you been?"

A strange male voice came from the other end of the phone, with a sinister chuckle.

Luo Feng's heart skipped a beat. "Who are you?"

"Who I am is not important; what matters is that I have what you want."

The man paused, then continued.

"The photo of you and Miss Su Mu embracing in the hallway just now, I wonder if Mr. Luo would be interested in buying it back?"

Luo Feng's pupils contracted sharply; he had indeed been secretly photographed!
He felt something was off, but when he looked back, he couldn't see anything.

He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, "What do you want?"

"It's very simple, don't you know that?"

The man chuckled. "Bring five million in cash tomorrow morning at ten o'clock. I'll send you the address then."

"Remember, you can only come alone. If I see a second person, or if I contact the authorities, those photos will immediately appear on the front page of major media outlets."

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone before Luo Feng could respond.

Luo Feng gripped his phone, then looked up at the crowd of people clinking glasses in the banquet hall, his eyes turning cold.

This dinner party was indeed not as simple as it seemed.

Not only is it coveted by Xingyao Capital, but it also has paparazzi lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce.

"What's wrong?" Bai Ningbing noticed his unusual behavior and came over.

Luo Feng put away his phone, his face returning to calm.

"It's nothing, just a spam call."

He didn't mention being secretly filmed, not wanting them to worry.

Moreover, he felt that the other party must be stupid.

Did he really think that a single photo of him and Su Mu was worth five million?
What an international joke!
"Don't force yourself,"

Bai Ningbing saw through his disguise and said softly.

"If there's anything you can't solve, be sure to tell us. We're not the kind of people who will just hold you back."

Luo Feng felt a warmth in his heart and nodded.

"I know." "Alright, stop thinking about that. Let's finish dealing with tonight's business first."

He took a deep breath, put on a smile again, and turned to walk toward the dealer representative who had been waiting for him.

In a corner of the banquet hall.

A man dressed as a waiter was looking down at his phone; the screen showed a photo of Luo Feng and Su Mu embracing.

A smug smile crept across his face. He quickly edited the photo on the screen and sent it to another number.

"The target has taken the bait, and we'll get the money tomorrow."

The man muttered to himself, his eyes filled with greed.

Unbeknownst to him, his every move was being watched by a man wearing sunglasses not far away.

The man wearing sunglasses took out his phone, quickly typed a message, and sent it.

"The fish are in the net, ready to be hauled in."

After sending the message, the man in sunglasses put away his phone, picked up an empty wine glass from the tray, and pretended to tidy up the cutlery as he slowly approached the waiter...

The waiter who was secretly taking pictures was still looking down at his phone, fantasizing about the wonderful life he would have after receiving five million, completely unaware that danger was approaching.

He only snapped back to reality when a hand patted his shoulder, and looked up in alarm.

"Excuse me, brother, please move aside. We need to remove these empty cups."

The man in sunglasses spoke out of the blue, catching everyone off guard.

The waiter, feeling guilty, dared not meet his gaze and hurriedly nodded.

"Oh, good, good."

As he spoke, he tried to turn and leave, but the other person held his shoulder firmly.

"and many more,"

The man in sunglasses smirked coldly, "The photos on your phone seem pretty good."

The waiter's face turned deathly pale, and his body stiffened instantly.

How could he know?
Could it be someone sent by Luo Feng?
He pretended to be calm.

"What...what are you saying? I don't understand."

"Can't understand?"

The man in sunglasses snatched his phone, unlocked the screen, and opened the photo album, which was indeed full of photos of Luo Feng and Su Mu embracing.

"If these photos get out, President Luo's reputation will be ruined."

Do you think you can get that five million?

The waiter was intimidated by his imposing manner, and his legs went weak.

"I...I was just confused for a moment, please let me go, I will never do it again."

“I can let you go,” the man in sunglasses said, changing the subject, “but you have to do one thing for me.”

The waiter nodded quickly.

"Just let me go, and I'll agree to ten things, let alone one!"

The man in sunglasses nodded in satisfaction and whispered a few words in his ear.

The waiter's expression shifted after hearing this, but he finally gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll help you."

At the same time, Luofeng is in talks with several Middle Eastern distributors about cooperation.

The other party showed great interest in Su Qi's new energy vehicles, especially the customized models, and put forward a lot of personalized requirements.

While patiently answering their questions, Luo Feng kept an eye on the commotion in the banquet hall, all the while planning his next move for tomorrow.

Five million in cash is no small sum, and the fact that the other party specifically requested cash clearly indicates they didn't want to leave any transaction records.

More importantly, the other party hasn't revealed the location they chose yet.

If the transaction takes place in an abandoned factory, the remote and desolate location makes it easy to set up an ambush.

He couldn't just do as the other party asked so easily, otherwise he would only find himself in a passive position.

"Mr. Luo, do you think Suqi can meet the demands we've made?" a Qatari distributor asked, interrupting Luo Feng's thoughts.

Luo Feng snapped out of his reverie, smiled, and nodded. "Of course, Suqi's R&D team has the capability to meet everyone's individual needs."

"Moreover, our production line has a very strong production capacity and can respond to orders quickly."

"That's good,"

The Qatari distributor smiled with satisfaction. "We hope to sign the cooperation agreement as soon as possible. When would you be available, Mr. Luo?"

"no problem!"

Luo Feng readily agreed, "I will have my team prepare the contract tomorrow morning, and we can discuss it in detail at the company."

After seeing off the distributors, Luo Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He walked to the window, looked at the dazzling night view outside, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

"Hey, Brother Jun, it's me." Luo Feng's voice was deep. "I need your help with something."

Jun Ge's calm voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What's wrong, Luo Feng? What happened?"

Luo Feng told Jun Ge everything about being secretly filmed and being blackmailed for five million yuan, and also mentioned that Chen Mo from Xingyao Capital had asked him to cooperate.

After listening, Jun Ge remained silent for a moment before saying, "I will send someone to investigate Xingyao Capital. As for the extortion, don't make any rash moves."

"Tomorrow I'll have Ou Cheng's men find you and set up surveillance in advance. We'll lure the snake out of its hole and expose the person behind it."

"it is good."

Luo Feng nodded, "I'll follow your arrangements."

"By the way, Brother Jun, do you think that Xingyao Capital's sudden request for cooperation with me might be related to those organizations?"

“That’s possible.” Jun’s tone became serious. “Those organizations have been trying to infiltrate domestic companies, especially promising new energy vehicle companies like Suqi.”

“Star Capital has many overseas operations, and it’s hard to guarantee that they have no connections with those organizations.”

"You must be extra careful when dealing with them in the future."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Feng's unease eased slightly.

With Brother Jun's help, things should be resolved smoothly tomorrow.

But he also knew that his wife's popularity in Europe was just the beginning, and she would naturally face more competitors in the future.
