Chapter 1090 "Who wants to see me?"
As soon as he sat down, Lu Feng couldn't suppress his doubts. He lowered his voice and asked anxiously, "Uncle, what's going on? Why... why did that person suddenly want to see me?"
He couldn't understand why, given that being's status and stature, he would suddenly ask to see a businessman like him. Even if he had made a huge contribution, this seemed too sudden.
Li Zhengguo glanced at Lu Feng through the rearview mirror, with a complicated look on his face, including relief, emotion, and a hint of helplessness.
He snorted, with a hint of the teasing of an elder towards a brilliant but overly troublesome junior: "Humph! How dare you ask? It's because you're too good at showing off!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Feng suddenly smiled bitterly and spread his hands with an innocent expression: "Uncle, this...this really can't be blamed on me!"
"Those guys are going too far! They've targeted me time and time again, oppressed me, and even attacked my family! Even a cornered rabbit will bite. I can't just passively take a beating all the time, can I?"
"Alright, alright, I know you're feeling wronged!" Li Zhengguo waved his hand, interrupting his "complaint," his tone becoming extremely serious and solemn. "Xiaofeng, that's not what I'm talking about."
"When you meet that person later, be extremely alert!"
"Watch your words and actions! Your attitude must be respectful, sincere, and neither servile nor overbearing! His time is extremely valuable. To have taken the time to meet with you is a tremendous opportunity and a great recognition of you and your group!"
"You must! You must! Leave the best impression on that person! Do you understand?" Li Zhengguo's tone was more serious than ever before.
Hearing this, Lu Feng's heartbeat involuntarily quickened. He took a deep breath and nodded vigorously: "Uncle, I understand! Don't worry, I will pay attention!"
However, it would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous!
Even though Lu Feng now owns a huge business empire and has a mental fortitude far beyond that of ordinary people, he still has to face the existence standing at the pinnacle of power and honor in this country. The invisible awe and pressure that comes from the depths of his soul still makes his palms sweat slightly.
It is a natural reverence for the backbone of the nation and the great men of the times that transcends secular status.
Seeing Lu Feng's slightly tense profile and subconsciously clenched fists through the rearview mirror, Li Zhengguo's lips curled up into a rare gentle smile. With a bit of understanding from an experienced person, he jokingly said:
"What's going on? Boss Lu, who's always fearless, is getting nervous now?"
Hearing this, Lu Feng's wry smile deepened. He rubbed his stiff cheeks and said frankly, "Uncle, please stop making fun of me. How can I not be nervous? That's...that person!"
The car sped forward slowly and quickly, and soon arrived in front of an ancient gate.
Several men in black Zhongshan suits were standing in front of the door. Their sharp eyes, bulging temples, lean bodies, and bulging waists all showed the peculiarity of these men.
"Stop, please be inspected!"
The leading man in black stepped forward and stopped the moving car.
Seeing this scene, Lu Feng's mouth opened slightly, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
The security here even dared to stop Li Zhengguo's car. They are too bold. You know, Li Zhengguo is now the third in command, and there are only two people in the whole China who are higher than him.
Li Zhengguo, who was standing by, noticed Lu Feng's surprise and explained with a chuckle:
"Xiaofeng, this place is different from other places. This is the place with the highest security level in China. You can't just enter with a license plate."
As he spoke, he rolled down the car window, revealing his appearance.
"it's me!"
He spoke in a deep voice to the security guard who wanted to check the pass, with a hint of majesty in his voice.
The security guard who was about to ask for a pass saw that face, immediately stood at attention and saluted, then quickly signaled to the person next to him to open the gate and let him pass.
As the gate opened, the car slowly drove in.
The car drove into the heavy and ancient gate.
In an instant, the hustle and bustle outside the wall, the hustle and bustle of traffic, the prosperity and pressure of the modern city seemed to be completely isolated by an invisible barrier.
What unfolds before your eyes is a world that is both refreshing and solemn.
Greenery is the main color here.
The towering ancient trees, lush with leaves, cast a vast expanse of cool shade. Winding bluestone paths connect the independent, quaint and elegant courtyards.
These courtyards, with their white walls, gray tiles, flying eaves and brackets, are half-hidden under the dense shade of trees, full of a sense of historical sedimentation and quiet charm.
The air was filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees and an indescribable tranquility.
Occasionally, you can hear the clear chirping of birds, which makes the environment even more secluded.
Lu Feng looked at this legendary core area curiously and cautiously through the car window.
He had just seen the tip of the iceberg of how tight the security was here.
However, when the car turned a corner and a shimmering surface of water came into view, Lu Feng couldn't help but slightly widen his eyes, his heart filled with shock!
It was a large lake! The water was clear, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and the weeping willows on the shore.
A few water birds swam leisurely across the lake, creating ripples. There was even a small, exquisite pavilion in the center of the lake, connected by a nine-curve bridge.
"I go!"
Lu Feng couldn't help but exclaim.
This is the heart of the imperial capital! Every inch of land is worth a lot of money!
Out there, old and dilapidated houses of dozens of square meters can be sold at sky-high prices! But here, we can luxuriously preserve such an open and natural water area!
This was not just a symbol of wealth, but also a manifestation of an unimaginable status and pattern. Lu Feng's awe for the person he was about to meet deepened.
The car finally slowly stopped in front of a courtyard house that looked unremarkable, but the details revealed its extraordinary heritage.
The courtyard gate was ajar, and there were no extra guards at the door. Only an invisible, suffocating sense of solemnity filled the air.
Li Zhengguo and Lu Feng looked at each other. The latter took a deep breath and tried to calm his heartbeat which was accelerating again.
Li Zhengguo opened the car door first, followed closely by Lu Feng. They both straightened their clothes and then gently knocked on the heavy wooden door.
"Come in." A calm, steady, yet undeniably powerful voice came from the courtyard...
