"What? Your old man wants to see me?"
Du Fei was somewhat surprised, sitting in Gong Chengbin's car, when he heard that Gong Chengbin's father, Gong Weimin, had specifically requested to see him.
To be honest, Du Fei had only met Gong Weimin once before when he treated him, and hadn't seen him since.
Why would he suddenly want to see him today? What was the catch?
"Yes, the old man asked me before where the beauty formula for Tiankun Group came from. I said you gave it to him. Then he asked some more about you, and then he proposed meeting you today."
Gong Chengbin, who was driving, replied.
He was also a little curious about Gong Weimin wanting to meet Du Fei.
However, during a red light, Gong Chengbin turned his head to look at Du Fei and then said, "Du Fei, what do you mean by that look? I haven't exaggerated anything; I've told him everything truthfully."
Du Fei chuckled.
If Gong Chengbin hadn't said that, Du Fei might not have thought much of it. But since the guy himself brought it up, it was likely that he had said something to Gong Weimin, which made him want to meet him.
Otherwise, how would a big shot worth billions have the time to bother with an ordinary person like himself?
Even though Du Fei was far from ordinary, others didn't know that.
"Well, I've seen your medical skills, and they are absolutely top-notch. And the beauty formula you gave me is also impeccable. So, of course, I had to praise you a bit."
Du Fei had helped him so much, so Gong Chengbin naturally wanted him to do well.
After that, the two chatted about this and that on the way, and soon the car arrived at the Gong family villa.
Although he had been here once before, seeing it again, Du Fei still found it incredibly luxurious.
After parking the car in the garage, Gong Chengbin led Du Fei straight towards the living room.
"Second Young Master, the master is already waiting for you in the study."
As soon as they entered the living room, Gong Weimin's assistant stood there. Seeing Gong Chengbin and Du Fei walk in, he immediately bowed and said.
Gong Chengbin nodded and led Du Fei upstairs.
They arrived at the door of the innermost room on the second floor. Gong Chengbin knocked on the door.
After hearing a voice from inside say "Come in," Gong Chengbin opened the door and walked in with Du Fei, one after the other.
"Dad."
"Mr. Gong."
Gong Weimin, who was sitting behind his desk reading, put down his book and then looked up.
"Sit, come and sit down and talk."
Gong Weimin, like a kindly elder, invited Du Fei and the other to sit.
After they sat down, Gong Weimin first scrutinized Du Fei for a moment, then slowly said, "Your name is Du Fei, right? Young Bin said that two of the beauty products his company has been promoting so successfully had their formulas provided by you?"
Actually, Du Fei was one of the co-chairmen of Tiankun Group, but only a very few people knew this. Du Fei had also instructed them, so Gong Chengbin had not told Gong Weimin.
Hearing Gong Weimin's question, Du Fei nodded, "Yes, the beauty formula for Ah Bin's company was provided by me."
"Excellent, excellent. Truly accomplished at such a young age. To possess such miraculous medical skills at such a young age, and to have saved me from the brink of death before. And now, Young Bin has achieved such great success thanks to your formula."
Gong Weimin mentioned Du Fei's previous treatment of him.
For any other person, receiving praise from a business magnate like Gong Weimin would likely make them ecstatic and speechless.
But Du Fei smiled faintly, "Mr. Gong, you are too kind. I was paid for saving you before. As for the beauty products selling so well, it's not all my credit. Ah Bin has also put in a lot of effort."
In fact, Du Fei's beauty formula, no matter who it was given to, as long as that person wasn't an idiot who made some foolish decisions, would undoubtedly be a huge success.
But by saying this in front of Gong Weimin, Gong Chengbin naturally felt deeply grateful to him.
As for Gong Weimin, after listening, he nodded, and his impression of the young Du Fei immediately improved significantly.
No one doesn't want their son to succeed, and Gong Weimin was no exception.
Before, Gong Chengbin had been dejected, and Gong Weimin had tried to give him opportunities, but Gong Chengbin was always suppressed by Gong Chengjun, so he accomplished nothing.
Later, when Gong Weimin saw that Gong Chengbin was beyond redemption, he completely gave up and let him be.
But now, his son was becoming more capable, and he had even gone all over the city to find the old-fashioned steamed mung bean cakes he remembered, which reignited Gong Weimin's hope for Gong Chengbin.
There was also another reason: his eldest son, Gong Chengjun, was too ambitious, so much so that even Gong Weimin felt it was excessive.
Therefore, he also wanted to take this opportunity to have Gong Chengbin and his elder brother balance each other out.
"By the way, Du Fei, are you interested in coming to help Young Bin?"
Suddenly, Gong Weimin changed the subject and said something that neither Du Fei nor Gong Chengbin had expected.
"I'm not sure what you mean, Mr. Gong?"
Du Fei had a general idea of what Gong Weimin meant.
Gong Weimin smiled, "My son, although he has achieved some success now, I worry he might get carried away. I find Du Fei's temperament to be very steady, and you two have a good relationship, so I thought you could lend him a hand."
Gong Chengbin had actually had this idea before, but Du Fei had refused him then.
Now that Gong Weimin brought it up again, Gong Chengbin looked at Du Fei with some excitement.
After all, his father's request carried a lot of weight. If Du Fei agreed, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.
Surpassing his elder brother, Gong Chengjun, would also be within reach.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gong. I am very satisfied with my current work and have no intention of changing jobs for the time being."
Du Fei refused Gong Weimin.
He actually refused?
Gong Weimin was surprised that Du Fei had refused his proposal without even thinking about it.
"Du Fei, I think you should reconsider. I also heard from Young Bin that you run a Chinese medicine clinic, but a true man should have ambitions beyond the local sphere. What future can a mere clinic have? How about this, as long as you agree to come and help Young Bin, I won't treat you unfairly. A guaranteed annual salary of five million plus profit sharing!"
Gong Weimin thought for a moment and spoke again.
This time, Gong Weimin believed he had given Du Fei a tempting offer that he absolutely couldn't refuse.
A guaranteed annual salary of five million, plus profit sharing.
Even for some professional managers, a five-million annual salary was already considerable, and Gong Weimin said there would be profit sharing, which made it an even larger sum.
Combined, this was not only the top income in Rongcheng but could be considered among the highest in the entire Nan Yue province. Therefore, Gong Weimin felt that Du Fei had no reason to refuse any further.
