Andy and Harvin both had the same motive: they wanted money. How could Eld not see through their intentions?
Though he was reluctant to part with his money, he felt trapped.
“Andy, we’ve shared a friendship for many years now. Do you not trust my word?” Eld implored sincerely. In response, Andy’s expression grew stern.
“Of course, I believe what you say. But I must admit, my trust in you isn’t as solid as it once was.”
Andy’s face reflected deep disappointment. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, Eld understood that he might have to make some sacrifices to pacify Andy.
“In all honesty, everything I’ve said is true. I’m working on behalf of Mike. If you’re skeptical, that’s your prerogative. However, if you believe that offering a discount on your orders is the only way to preserve our bond, then I’m prepared to cover the cost myself.”
Seeing Eld’s willingness to compromise, Andy refrained from pushing further.
After they agreed on the discounted rate, Andy clarified that money wasn’t his primary concern.
Externally, Eld nodded in understanding. But internally, he was silently berating Andy for his greed.
Once he had finally managed to bid Andy farewell, a wave of dizziness hit Eld, making him feel unwell.
“Someone! Announce to all outside that I’m unwell and won’t be seeing anyone!”
Following this declaration, Eld retreated to his residence.
As expected, a number of visitors sought him out. But with Eld nowhere in sight, they were left to voice their frustrations outside.
Luo Feng keenly observed the challenges that Eld was grappling with.
From the onset, Luo Feng had been closely watching Eld.
Although Eld’s company, Prosperous Logistics, was competent, challenging Luo Feng this way seemed misguided.
Moreover, Luo Feng was confident that Eld wouldn’t make rash decisions.
He soon surmised that Mike was the true puppet master behind the scenes.
Yet, to confront Mike, Luo Feng first had to deal with Eld.
Given Eld’s current predicament, Luo Feng believed that overcoming him wouldn’t pose much of a challenge.
After three days in hiding, Eld eventually returned to his office. Luo Feng, informed by his sources, was quick to act.
Without any hesitation, Luo Feng made his way to the Prosperous Logistics building.
“I wish to speak with your boss.”
Luo Feng’s request took the receptionist off guard.
Their boss had explicitly stated that, under the guise of illness, he wasn’t to be disturbed.
Seeing an unfamiliar face, the receptionist grew wary.
“I apologize, but our boss is currently indisposed due to illness and isn’t receiving visitors. You could leave your contact details, and I’ll ensure he gets in touch once he’s better.”
While the receptionist maintained a courteous demeanor, Luo Feng wasn’t swayed.
“Kindly inform your boss that there’s someone here who can assist with his ongoing issues. I’d like to know if he’s interested in a meeting.”
The receptionist, taken aback by Luo Feng’s assertiveness, hesitated.
“Please bear with me for a moment. I’ll fetch our manager.”
Shortly after, the manager emerged.
Upon seeing Luo Feng, the manager felt a flicker of recognition but couldn’t pinpoint where they had met.
“Sir, you claim you can assist our boss with his current dilemmas?”
The manager regarded Luo Feng with skepticism.
A stranger had suddenly appeared, offering solutions to problems even their boss couldn’t resolve? It seemed far-fetched.
Luo Feng responded succinctly, “Just relay to your boss that Luo Feng, the head of National Transport Logistics, is here to meet him. He’ll grasp the significance. ”
After a moment’s hesitation, the manager decided to relay Luo Feng’s message.
“Please wait here for a brief moment.”
It wasn’t long before the manager approached Eld, who was visibly drained.
Eld was acutely aware that evasion wasn’t a long-term solution, which was why he had returned.
But he was at a loss for a way out.
As the manager approached him, he announced, “Boss, there’s someone outside requesting to see you.”
“Not now! Can’t you see I’m overwhelmed?”
Eld dismissed the request without hearing further details. The manager persisted, “Boss, he claims to be the head of National Transport”
Eld’s demeanor shifted instantly.
“The head of National Transport? What could he possibly want with me?”
