Chapter 224: A Girl Makes a Move, Su Ruoxi’s Sense of Crisis

Chapter 224: Chapter 224: A Girl Makes a Move, Su Ruoxi’s Sense of Crisis

"Hello, Classmate Lin..."

"We were just in the same class, and I have a question I’d like to ask you!"

A girl in a short spaghetti strap dress, holding a blank notebook, asked with a slight blush on her pretty face.

Her features were decent, and she had a petite figure.

Ever since Lin Feng’s interview with the school paper,

and especially after the high-profile launch of his school-enterprise partnership with the university,

he had become a celebrity at Yang City University.

Coupled with his outstanding looks,

quite a few girls had started approaching him, using the excuse of asking questions to start a conversation.

Lin Feng was well aware of what these girls were thinking.

His looks and the capital he commanded were a fatal attraction to them.

Lin Feng had neither the desire nor the time to ponder their ulterior motives.

"Sorry, I don’t have time right now."

Lin Feng glanced at his watch and turned down the girl’s request.

"Oh, come on, Classmate Lin."

"We’ll be done in a minute. I just have one little question!"

The girl pressed forward, refusing to take no for an answer.

She was incredibly persistent.

However, Lin Feng was already growing impatient.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a familiar voice.

"Brother Feng, there’s still some business at the office. I was wondering why you were so late."

Su Ruoxi walked over with a smile.

She went right up and unceremoniously looped her arm through Lin Feng’s.

Only then did she casually turn to look at the other girl, who now appeared flustered:

"Sorry, miss."

"We have some other things to attend to, so if you’ll excuse us?"

After Su Ruoxi appeared, the girl was clearly no longer as persistent as before.

After all, few girls could maintain the confidence to try and steal someone’s man right in front of Su Ruoxi.

A campus belle who outshone her in every aspect, from figure to looks, was enough to make the girl feel ashamed of herself.

Su Ruoxi was also infuriated.

Basically, most people at Yang City University were well aware of Lin Feng and Su Ruoxi’s relationship.

After all, the two were often seen coming and going together.

This had long been confirmed on the school’s forums.

Yet here was someone still indulging in unrealistic fantasies.

So, naturally, Su Ruoxi was quite irritated.

After they got in the car,

Su Ruoxi pouted coquettishly and said, "Brother Feng, your charm is just too much."

Lin Feng chuckled. "I guess that’s the downside of doing an interview with the school paper."

Su Ruoxi had a lot of trust in Lin Feng.

She was just bothered by some of the rumors circulating around campus recently.

She didn’t know who started it, but someone had already dug up information about her family’s company.

Originally, people saw Su Ruoxi and Lin Feng as a well-matched couple.

But now, with rumors spreading that Su Ruoxi’s family had fallen on hard times, these other girls were getting ideas.

Su Ruoxi knew very well that if she didn’t stand on her own two feet,

she would become nothing more than a clinging vine attached to Lin Feng.

Then, not only would she be unable to help Lin Feng in his career, but she would also fall back into her old, insecure state.

"Brother Feng, could you please drop me off at the Dingsheng Real Estate office building?"

The sudden appearance of the girl trying to corner Lin Feng gave Su Ruoxi a stronger sense of crisis.

She decided against going back to the apartment, wanting to go straight to Dingsheng Real Estate to follow up on the project.

Lin Feng never stood in Su Ruoxi’s way on matters like this.

After all, Su Ruoxi was capable in her own right, and it was a good thing for her to mature sooner rather than later.

"By the way, how is the Joy City project coming along?"

Lin Feng knew very well that the Joy City project was Dingsheng Real Estate’s main focus.

It was also the project Su Ruoxi had specifically requested to oversee.

"It’s progressing fairly smoothly, but because the previous construction period dragged on for too long, the current pace is a bit slow."

Speaking of which, Su Ruoxi felt a headache coming on.

Every project has a delivery deadline.

At Joy City’s current pace, they probably wouldn’t be able to complete the project by the deadline.

If they couldn’t finish within the stipulated time,

they would have to pay a penalty for breach of contract.

They might even face greater losses.

Su Ruoxi had been trying to figure out a solution to this problem.

After hearing Su Ruoxi’s explanation, Lin Feng pondered for a moment before saying:

"If you can’t finish on time, then it must be an efficiency problem."

"Joy City is made up of various different entertainment zones. Have you considered adding more construction teams?"

"At this stage, you can absolutely spend more money on construction personnel and use sheer numbers to make up for the delay."

Beside him, Su Ruoxi furrowed her brow and nodded. "I’ve been implementing that method from the very beginning."

"I’ve also been actively recruiting, but the previous issue with Dingsheng Real Estate failing to pay wages has really damaged its reputation."

"Now, even with high pay, not many construction teams are willing to come."

This problem gave Su Ruoxi a headache.

The previous project manager ran off, and her own father was unreliable at the time.

Cleaning up the mess caused by this string of problems was proving exceptionally difficult for Su Ruoxi.

Lin Feng knew this couldn’t be rushed. "I’ll have our company’s real estate division see if they can recommend any suitable construction teams to you."

"For now, let’s just plug as many holes in the staffing as we can."

Su Ruoxi nodded worriedly. "It seems that’s the only way for now. But the deadline is still a ways off, so there’s still time to maneuver."

After a bit more conversation, Lin Feng dropped Su Ruoxi off in front of the Dingsheng Real Estate office building.

Although Su Ruoxi wanted to start from the bottom,

the veteran employees at Dingsheng Real Estate were all well aware of her identity.

Unconsciously, they had already started involving Su Ruoxi in some of the core management affairs.

This was also at Lin Feng’s instruction.

Lin Feng had originally planned to go back to his apartment to catch up on sleep, but after seeing a WeChat message,

he turned the car around and drove back to the office.

The moment Huizi saw the familiar Ferrari, she knew Lin Feng had arrived.

As soon as Lin Feng entered his office, he called Huizi on the internal line. "Huizi, if any of the real estate projects you’re handling have suitable construction teams, recommend them to Ruoxi. She’s in urgent need of people over there."

After hanging up with Lin Feng, Huizi immediately contacted the partners on the real estate projects she was managing.

However, the joint projects Huizi was currently involved in weren’t very large.

So, she could only do her best on this matter.

After giving his instructions to Huizi, Lin Feng turned and switched on the projector on his office wall.

Then, he started a video conference.

The person on the other end of the video call with Lin Feng was none other than Vice President Li, all the way in Bin City.
