#311 - Ask the old man

After dinner, Lu Haifeng leisurely sat in the courtyard, playing chess and chatting with the old man.

Despite the old man's great love for chess, his skills were inferior even to Lu Haifeng, a mediocre player.

And the worst part wasn't the old man's poor skills, but that he always had various excuses and reasons to take back moves.

His chess etiquette was terrible!

But despite his cheating, he was still defeated by Lu Haifeng's mediocre chess skills.

"I'm not playing anymore, you're making me angry! Can't you show some respect for your elders, you don't even understand the concept of respecting the old and loving the young!"

As soon as the old man lost, he glared at Lu Haifeng in anger, declaring that he wouldn't play anymore.

Lu Haifeng was also very helpless. I've already let you win so much with my mediocre skills, even taking away my chariot, horse, and cannon, and you still can't win. Who can I blame!

But he still said, "Ahem... I think grandpa is not in good form today. We'll play again when you're in better shape!"

Lu Haifeng still had to save some face for the old man, otherwise, if he really got angry and beat him up, there would be no one to reason with.

"That's right, I'm not in good form today, let's fight again next time!"

Hearing Lu Haifeng's words, the old man found a good excuse for himself, and at the same time asked Lu Haifeng with satisfaction, "Did your uncle talk to you about the Hongqi brand?"

"Yes, he told me that Hongqi brand wants to be independent, and uncle asked me if I have any ideas about investing in Hongqi!"

Lu Haifeng would not hide anything from the old man, and repeated what his uncle Ye Guohua said today.

After listening, the old man nodded and said, "If possible, I still hope you can make some contributions to our national enterprises!"

"You have to understand that the meaning represented by the Hongqi brand is different. The fact that it hasn't developed after so many years is also a pain point for the higher-ups!"

Hearing the old man's words, Lu Haifeng smiled wryly: "I also want to contribute my strength to the country, but I have some concerns!"

"After all, this matter is too sensitive. If it's done well, everyone will win-win, but if it's not done well, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble!"

"Grandpa, you also know that I hate trouble the most!"

Now Lu Haifeng told the old man his concerns, he actually wanted to ask the old man's opinion.

After all, many times, the old man can see the whole thing very clearly.

If he really takes over the Hongqi brand, will it damage the interests of some people and cause trouble for himself behind his back?

Sure enough, after listening to Lu Haifeng's words, the old man smiled and shook his head and said, "You brat, you're still too young!"

"You have such a smart head, why can't you figure it out? Since the higher-ups have already spoken, it means that they will not allow anyone to hinder the development of the Hongqi brand, let alone allow anyone to profit from it!"

Unlike Lu Haifeng, the old man is very transparent about this kind of thing. The higher-ups actually took the initiative to ask Lu Haifeng if he wanted to take over the Hongqi brand!

Then the higher-ups will definitely clear the obstacles behind him, so that he can contribute his strength to the national enterprise with peace of mind.

Lu Haifeng suddenly realized after hearing the old man's words, but this matter is still uncertain, so there is no need to worry.

If it is really possible, Lu Haifeng wants to build the Hongqi brand into the most top-notch, most luxurious, and most influential brand in the world.

The kind that you can't necessarily buy even if you have money, so that Hongqi is not just a car, but a symbol of status.

After all, in Lu Haifeng's heart, the Hongqi brand is always the pride of the Great Xia Kingdom.

It is irreplaceable by any brand.

After Lu Haifeng figured it out, he said to the old man: "Uncle just mentioned this matter, whether it will be implemented or not depends on the decision of the higher-ups!"

"Let's see the situation then!"

The old man nodded and said: "You make your own decision on this matter!"

"Don't have so many worries, anyone who wants to get benefits from you has to consider my feelings, old man!"

Although the old man's tone was very light, Lu Haifeng still felt a domineering and cold aura from him.

The older generation who crawled out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, although they have retired, their influence is not comparable to those of the present.

"Grandpa is domineering, I will consider this matter carefully, you can rest assured!"

Lu Haifeng looked at the time, sent the old man back to the room, and then went to bed early.

Because he has to go on a blind date tomorrow, his mother and grandmother have urged him several times.

They said that the other party is a good girl, one in a million.

In the old lady's words, you are still not willing to go on a blind date, maybe people don't even like you!

Although Lu Haifeng knew that it was just a formality, he still couldn't lose his manners.

So early the next morning, Lu Haifeng was pulled up by the old lady, urging him to dress up quickly.

After dressing up, Lu Haifeng came to the Phoenix Hall's private room on the top floor revolving restaurant of the Times Building, according to the address given by his uncle Ye Guohua.

Ye Guohua had booked it for him in advance, telling Lu Haifeng to just wait here.

After entering the restaurant, Lu Haifeng saw that there were many people dining inside.

As soon as Lu Haifeng came in, he was recognized by the waiter. A female waiter came over and said to Lu Haifeng with a smile: "Hello, President Lu, this way please!"

Obviously, this waiter was arranged by Ye Guohua in advance, and she also knew Lu Haifeng.

This female waiter took Lu Haifeng to the Phoenix Hall and then withdrew!

Lu Haifeng looked at the decoration style in the private room, which was very modern. Sitting at the dining table, he could overlook the scenery of Yanjing through the huge glass floor-to-ceiling windows.

Lu Haifeng waited for nearly half an hour before he heard a knock on the door. After knocking, a short-haired girl walked in.

He was stunned when he saw the other person's appearance!

"It's you!"

Lu Haifeng never expected that the person who came was Chen Ningyun, Miss Chen!

"Why, are you disappointed to see that it's me!"

Chen Ningyun glared at Lu Haifeng unhappily, of course she knew what Lu Haifeng was thinking.

But Lu Haifeng's appearance made her so angry, there are so many people in Yanjing who want to go on a blind date with this lady, and you are still not happy!

Lu Haifeng said with a smile: "I'm a little disappointed. If I had known it was you, everyone wouldn't have made it so mysterious. We all know each other!"

Chen Ningyun curled her lips and said disdainfully: "Don't be so narcissistic, did you think that this lady came to go on a blind date with you, you're really shameless!"

"I'm not the one going on a blind date with you, I'm just here to watch the fun!"

"Also, I warn you, don't be rude to my sister later, or be careful I'll deal with you!"

After speaking, she didn't forget to give Lu Haifeng a warning!
