“What did you say?”
Lin Feng, thinking Lü Feng had misspoke, quickly corrected him, "Brother Lü, you mean you want Zhang Ke to lose this time for us, right?"
Otherwise, why would Lü Feng specifically seek out Zhang Ke and then say this after meeting him?
However, Lin Feng had clearly outsmarted himself on this matter.
Lü Feng raised his voice, intending to reiterate, "Brother Lin Feng, Chairman Zhang, I didn't say it wrong, and you didn't hear it wrong."
But if they did that, wouldn't all the morale they had painstakingly built up dissipate?
The words stuck in Lin Feng's throat, unable to be suppressed any longer, "Lü Feng, if we do this, won't all our previous efforts be in vain?"
Zhang Yun's words were polite enough, but the meaning was clear. "Yes, if we do this, won't we be back to square one? Moreover, after two consecutive times, those people probably won't be so easily fooled!"
Once the people currently gathered at the Lin family lost their trust in the Lin family again, the consequences were imaginable.
How could Lü Feng not know these things? "I know all of this."
"Then why?" Isn't this like knowing there are tigers in the mountains but heading towards them?
The doubt in Lin Feng's eyes grew even more. "Lü Feng, are you too tired today?" He even suspected that Lü Feng's words were insincere, perhaps due to the relentless efforts of the past few days, which might have exhausted him.
Lü Feng raised his head at this moment, glancing at the two people before him. Although their intentions were good, their perspective was too limited.
If he didn't lose, how could he reel in the bigger fish later?
With this thought, Lü Feng's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly explained, "Brother Lin Feng, when is a person most likely to expose their flaws?"
Although Lin Feng didn't quite understand why Lü Feng suddenly brought this up, his mind worked quickly, and he blurted out, "Of course, when they get carried away with success."
"So!"
Seeing Lü Feng's gaze fixed on him, Lin Feng's mind was suddenly illuminated by a clear ray of sunshine, and at the same time, he had an epiphany.
"Lü Feng, you mean?"
Before he could finish, realizing that Lin Feng had understood his meaning, Lü Feng continued to elaborate on his line of thought.
"Don't look at it as if we have met Zhang Ke this time and he appears to be in our grasp. If I'm not mistaken, this person is a double-dealer, and it's possible he's still secretly connected to those behind the scenes. Based on my judgment, these people will likely target the Lin family through Zhang Ke again."
Hearing this, Lin Feng seized the opportunity during Lü Feng's brief pause and quickly raised his head, "Then what should we do next?"
His gaze shifted from Lin Feng, finally settling on Zhang Yun. "Chairman Zhang, this time, we need to keep a close eye on Zhang Ke. Of course, the informants will remain in place, but more importantly, we need more detailed information. Brother Lin Feng and I just met this person, and he likely harbors some resentment towards us."
This was also why he had asked Zhang Yun to come this time.
Zhang Yun was also an old hand in the business world and a smart person. Before Lü Feng could finish speaking, he had already grasped Lü Feng's entire plan.
Facing the current Lü Feng, he understood that Lü Feng's ideas were not only more effective but also more far-reaching. He said heartily, "Mr. Lü, just tell me what you need me to do!"
Lü Feng was not one to beat around the bush, and he had done his homework before speaking. "I remember you had a lot of dealings with Zhang Ke before, and your relationship was always good. However, after Ge Jun stepped down, if I'm not mistaken, those dealings ceased. My intention is for you to proactively express your willingness to align with Zhang Ke."
"But will he fully believe it?" Zhang Yun's brow furrowed instantly.
This point, before Zhang Yun even voiced it, or rather, the moment the idea formed in his mind, Lü Feng had already considered it privately.
Glancing at Zhang Yun, who had a worried look on his face, Lü Feng said in a low voice, "This time, he likely won't believe it, but he won't easily dismiss you either. This will give us an opportunity to get some internal information. After all, proximity breeds favor."
With that, Lü Feng paused briefly, then his tone became sharp. "However, next time, as long as you prove to be useful in Zhang Ke's eyes, and we lose this time, then won't Zhang Ke trust you then?"
His words hit the mark, and Zhang Yun immediately nodded with conviction.
With Zhang Yun's arrangements made, Lü Feng turned to Lin Feng. "I'll leave the information from the informants to you!"
"Okay!"
Seeing this, time was of the essence. "Then let's start preparing now!"
Lü Feng returned to his residence, took a hot shower, and immediately lay down on the bed. It wasn't because he had nothing to do, but to seize the time and conserve his energy.
Stillness was better than motion. Lü Feng was convinced that Zhang Ke would make another move. Before this person made his move, instead of creating a hypothetical enemy in his mind and wildly speculating without basis about where and how the opponent would strike, it was better to clear his cluttered mind. Once there was news, he could act unburdened.
As Zhang Yun emerged from the Lin family villa, he reviewed Lü Feng's words in his mind and nodded slightly.
He muttered softly, "This kid Lü Feng is truly wasted. If he had grown up in an environment like the Lin family since childhood, the Lin family would have likely swapped positions with the Dong family by now."
With that thought, Zhang Yun soon arrived at Zhang Ke's place.
At that moment, Zhang Ke was in his office with Dong Hua, meticulously researching potential hidden blind spots in their upcoming strategies.
Suddenly, there were a few urgent knocks on the door of the quiet office.
Zhang Ke impatiently shouted towards the door, "Who is it? Didn't I say I'm not seeing anyone?"
Outside the door, the secretary's voice carried a hint of difficulty, "Chairman, I told him that, but he's very insistent and stubborn, saying he has something important to discuss."
Zhang Ke was in the midst of discussing important matters. Besides the sky falling, was there anything more significant than the task at hand?
Without a second thought, Zhang Ke immediately replied to the outside, "Make him wait."
He thought the secretary would have left by then, but this person not only didn't leave but raised his voice again.
"Chairman, that person claims it's a matter of utmost importance, concerning the company's lifeline, and cannot wait!"
What?
Who was this person bragging to him?
This was simply bragging without a shred of evidence.
