The three came to the chairman's office, and it was only then that Lin Feng noticed the woman beside Lu Yuxin. She bore some resemblance to Lu Yuxin, except she appeared a bit older, but in terms of stature and skin, she was no less impressive than Lu Yuxin.
"Is this your sister?" Lin Feng asked, somewhat puzzled.
Lu Yuxin almost fainted when she heard this and gave him a cold look, "This is my mom, the chairman of Lu Group."
"Young man, your compliment is quite straightforward." Normally, a woman would be pleased to hear such a flattering misunderstanding, but Chairman Xiao examined Lin Feng with an extremely calm demeanor.
Lin Feng just smiled, offering no explanation, but he was still somewhat surprised inside, finally understanding from whom Lu Yuxin inherited her great looks and well-built figure.
The female chairman was curvaceous, even more maturely charming than Lu Yuxin, a beauty that money couldn't buy but was naturally endowed.
"Young man, what is your relationship with Yuxin?" Chairman Xiao asked unexpectedly direct.
Lu Yuxin's heart tightened, and she covertly signaled Lin Feng not to speak carelessly with her eyes.
Lin Feng pretended not to see and replied seriously, "I am the security guard of the villa area, I just escorted Lu Yuxin here."
His answer was honest, as if he hadn't said much, yet it left much to the imagination.
Lu Yuxin was greatly troubled by his response, thinking, why couldn't you pretend to be a newly hired driver instead? How does a residential security guard bringing me to the company make any sense?
Chairman Xiao neither agreed nor disagreed, nor did she probe further. Instead, she turned to her desk, wrote a check, and handed it to Lin Feng.
"Thank you for your help today, this is a little reward. Also, I hope you keep what you saw today to yourself, and moreover, I want you to resign and leave the current villa area and Beijiang City; this money should compensate for your loss."
Chairman Xiao's words were extremely cold, dismissive, even imperiously demanding that Lin Feng leave Beijiang City, hardly seeming like gratitude.
Chairman Xiao, perceptive in her firm and imperious ways, was even more formidable than Lu Yuxin.
Lin Feng especially disliked this condescending attitude and scoffed coldly, "Keep your money for fixing that broken door, let's just say I saved a couple of ingrates today."
"Mom, it's not what you think, Lin Feng and I..." Lu Yuxin seeing the tension rise, couldn't help but speak out in explanation.
"Does what I think even matter?" Chairman Xiao immediately interrupted her daughter autoritatively, "Lu Group is currently facing numerous internal difficulties; I do not want any outside problems, not even a one in ten-thousand chance."
"Great, now I'm an outside problem," Lin Feng said mockingly, looking neither servile nor overbearing, "Think what you want, I won't care. I'm not leaving Beijiang City, I'll continue my job as usual, let's leave it at that!"
After saying this, Lin Feng turned and left nonchalantly, without even looking at the amount on the check. He was short on money but not on pride.
"Lin Feng..." When Lu Yuxin heard 'let's leave it at that,' something inside her panicked, making her want to follow him.
"Come back here, do not chase after him!" Chairman Xiao commanded sharply, her face flushing unnaturally, as if anger had surged to her head.
As soon as she finished speaking, Chairman Xiao's body weakened and she collapsed heavily.
"Mom? What's wrong?" Lu Yuxin cried out in alarm, rushing to support her.
The unexpected turn of events flustered her, and she could only shout for help, "Secretary Yang, call an ambulance…"
But Chairman Xiao clutching her hand, struggling to speak, "Ambulance won't help, call this number, ask Divine Doctor Han to come over, Secretary Yang knows what to say."
A female secretary rushed in and together with Lu Yuxin, they helped Chairman Xiao up to a chair, and then made the call. Lu Yuxin was bewildered; when had her mother fallen ill? What illness? She knew nothing about it.
Just as Lin Feng had reached the doorway, he stopped, turned back, and looked at Chairman Xiao. Upon closer observation, he frowned.
