"Chairman Zhang, this matter doesn't really involve Lin Dong. I simply wanted to talk with you about it. I have no other intentions."
Zhang Yun's expression remained unchanged.
However, his heart was already in turmoil.
*Will I believe what you're saying?* Zhang Yun thought to himself.
What kind of entity was the Lin family?
He hadn't understood before, but after observing for the past few days and listening to the assistant's explanation, he had some grasp of their methods.
These people were merely opening a crack. Once that crack appeared, nothing that followed would be surprising.
"It seems Chairman Zhang still doesn't trust me," Lu Feng said in a low voice, seeing Zhang Yun's reaction.
"Not at all," Zhang Yun replied.
Before Lu Feng could speak, he continued, "I just feel that if you suddenly ask me to do this, I need to consider it."
"Of course. For other matters, Chairman Zhang might consider it. But regarding this issue, I feel there's no need for consideration. Is there any good business to discuss with someone who intends to completely absorb the Taisong Group into the Lin family?"
The assistant, though standing aside, did not cease his verbal attacks.
His goal was to get rid of Lu Feng. As long as Chairman Zhang kicked this person out, the assistant would deliver a fatal blow.
This brat had shown him no respect at all.
The moment this brat walked out of the Taisong Group, he would show no mercy.
Zhang Yun finally understood the meaning behind the assistant's words.
"My assistant isn't wrong, is he? What do you think?"
Zhang Yun looked at Lu Feng.
With just a few words, Lu Feng understood Zhang Yun's thoughts.
Zhang Yun was worried that the Taisong Group would be absorbed by the Lin family.
And as the current de facto controller of the Taisong Group, he would lose his position within the company.
Understanding this, Lu Feng's lips curved slightly.
"Chairman Zhang's concerns are not unfounded. I can understand that. If I were Chairman Zhang, I would think the same. Let me be direct. Currently, whether in terms of financial strength or power, it would only take the Lin family minutes to fully integrate the Taisong Group into their portfolio. Don't you think that just now, I alone was able to quietly secure an important position in the board meeting? Not to mention the elder Lin Dong! There is no point in stubbornly resisting at this moment."
Having grasped Zhang Yun's mindset, Lu Feng spoke logically and persuasively.
"But why hasn't the Lin family acted directly against the Taisong Group until now? Why did they send someone to discuss it beforehand?"
"Why?" the assistant interjected.
Lu Feng didn't hold back.
"That's because the Taisong Group is very important to the Lin family."
"The Taisong Group has contributed significantly to the Lin family over the years.
Therefore, the Lin family is unwilling to simply cut ties and take back the Taisong Group. Moreover, to be honest, even if the Lin family were to acquire the Taisong Group in this manner, they couldn't guarantee that the Taisong Group would continue to flourish as it does now."
"So what are you saying?"
This was a veiled threat, a hidden barb.
Zhang Yun's expression darkened upon hearing this, and his mind became momentarily confused.
He had thought, based on what his assistant said, that this person was here to show off by using this issue. But everything he heard seemed completely wrong.
Zhang Yun's brow furrowed.
The assistant was now his only hope, and he couldn't let Zhang Yun change his mind after being persuaded by this young man.
Noticing the change in Zhang Yun's expression, the assistant quickly spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"Chairman Zhang, some people are silver-tongued and speak more beautifully than singers. You are a wise man, and I believe Chairman Zhang will not be misled by this brat's words. He only speaks well; when it comes to action, the Lin family will show no mercy."
"Since you think so, there's nothing I can do. However, let me remind you now: don't think too badly of people, or you'll end up regretting it."
Lu Feng cut off the assistant's words.
The assistant, however, paid no attention to Lu Feng's reaction.
His attention was entirely on Zhang Yun.
He heard Zhang Yun say, "Yes, young man, you're just talking. There's no proof. Especially Lin Dong, how could he admit it? If Mr. Lu can provide me with proof, I will agree to this matter immediately."
A hint of smugness appeared on the assistant's face.
As long as Zhang Yun did not unite with this young man, he still had a final trump card to deal with Lu Feng.
He himself would not have completely lost this game and would still have a chance to turn the tables.
The assistant was waiting for this opportunity!
*Good, let's push a bit harder.*
The assistant glanced at Zhang Yun and thought to himself.
*This time, let's see what tricks this brat has left.*
*This brat should be speechless now.*
Although Lin Dong had authorized this brat to handle this matter, and even given him his personal seal, these were merely nominal procedures.
Based on his understanding of President Lin, he would absolutely not give his full trust.
Letting this brat become his proxy.
If this brat truly used this authorization, it would mean Lin Dong had lost trust in him.
The hierarchy within the Lin family was extremely strict.
Especially when it came to exceeding authority, they took it very seriously.
At this moment, Lu Feng chuckled.
"Chairman Zhang, to put it simply, you're worried that I have no proof and won't be able to find evidence later. If that's the case, then I'll satisfy Chairman Zhang's request, won't I?"
Hearing Lu Feng's seemingly casual words, which carried extremely serious implications, Lin Mei, sitting beside them, swallowed a large gulp of cold air.
"Lu Feng, how will you satisfy him?" Lin Mei's eyes were filled with worry.
*Is Lu Feng planning to use that seal to leave a written guarantee for this person?*
Thinking of this, Lin Mei's scalp tingled.
This wouldn't do!
As President Lin's daughter, Lin Mei knew her father's temper very well.
If he wrote a guarantee and angered Lin Dong, the consequences would be severe.
And these two people were probably hoping for exactly that.
Lin Mei immediately grabbed Lu Feng and whispered, "You're not actually planning to write a guarantee, are you? That's different from a letter of commitment!"
With a letter of commitment, Lu Feng could use his identity to turn it into nothing.
But a guarantee!
