Lin Feng realized that he had underestimated Liu Yan's curiosity. He knew she wanted to meet the creator of the project plan, but he didn't expect her to directly make such a request.
Initially, Lin Feng intended to use this curiosity to persuade Liu Yan to work with him. He thought that even if she wanted to meet the owner of the project, she would first need to approach him and then find a way to see the planner.
At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly realized that he had indeed underestimated Liu Yan's curiosity; her introversion and silence were merely a facade.
"Well, Liu Yan, I understand your eagerness to learn, but you also know that my friend is not very articulate and is solely focused on his creations. Otherwise, I wouldn't be helping him sell these plans. So, I think..." Since Liu Yan was not following the usual approach, Lin Feng thought for a moment and continued to weave his lie.
He recalled a philosopher who once said that after telling one lie, you would have to tell a hundred more to cover it up. Lin Feng was now deeply experiencing this truth.
"Oh, I see." Upon hearing Lin Feng's words, the excitement in Liu Yan's eyes quickly faded, and she said calmly. Although Liu Yan didn't say much, Lin Feng could tell from her expression that anyone with eyes could see her deep disappointment.
"Liu Yan, although it's unlikely for you to meet him right now, your desire to meet him is mainly for communication and asking questions about things you don’t understand. Therefore, we must be cautious. If I take you to see him without his consent and he feels annoyed, it would be counterproductive. Don't you agree?" Having already lied, Lin Feng could only continue to justify himself.
"What then?" Hearing Lin Feng say this, Liu Yan's eyes brightened again, regaining some spark.
It was only at this moment that Lin Feng realized how valuable the knowledge he possessed since his rebirth was. Although he was merely presenting a so-called "advertising concept" he had accidentally seen in his previous life, it had already captivated Liu Yan so much. Reflecting on how he hadn't utilized these insights gained from his rebirth until now made Lin Feng feel as though he had wasted his time since coming back.
"Well, Liu Yan, don't be too disappointed. Although my friend can be quite stubborn and sometimes doesn’t recognize even me when he's angry, I am still one of his good friends. Otherwise, he wouldn't let me help him sell these things. So I believe that as long as you assist me in selling these project plans, one day you'll definitely get to meet him." Since Lin Feng had said this, even he felt a bit envious of his friend; after all, Liu Yan was quite beautiful and yet meeting him seemed so difficult. However, in order to maintain his lie, Lin Feng had to attribute the authorship of the project plan to another fictional version of himself.
"These? Lin Feng, do you mean...?" Liu Yan's heart raced again at the mention of "some," prompting her to ask.
"Yes, originally he didn't want me to say anything about it, but I trust you. Besides the project plan you've seen, I have several others in my possession. As for their quality, while I can't show them to you just yet, I can assure you that they are all of similar quality and created by him." Lin Feng hadn't planned on hiding this from Liu Yan; seeing her ask about it now prompted him to share.
"Ah! Lin Feng, great! What do you need me to do?" At this point, any hesitation from Liu Yan vanished as she immediately expressed her willingness and asked what she could do.
"Hehe... You know that while I have these project plans and understand their value, I've only recently entered this industry and lack experience. Therefore, there are some things where I might need your help running errands. Don't worry; I won't treat my friends poorly." It was at this moment that Lin Feng revealed his true intentions.
"Well, although I just entered this industry a bit earlier than you, I will thoroughly understand the company mentioned in the proposal and then discuss it with them together. I believe that with this proposal in hand, it shouldn't be difficult to negotiate this project," Liu Yan said after thinking for a moment.
At this moment, Liu Yan's confidence was not lacking.
"Great! Then let's work hard together." Lin Feng was pleased to see Liu Yan so proactive. He picked up his coffee and clinked cups with Liu Yan.
The sound of their coffee cups clinking echoed, and Lin Feng and Liu Yan established their partnership just like that.
"By the way, Lin Feng, will what we're doing be bad for the company?" Liu Yan, being a bit scatterbrained, only thought of this concern at that moment.
"That's not urgent; I'll handle it. What you need to do now is keep it confidential. Everything else is on me," Lin Feng said, aware of Liu Yan's worries.
Lin Feng indeed had this confidence. Even if they failed, he could find Liu Yan a better job; that was the minimum guarantee for anyone who collaborated with Lin Feng.
Because Lin Feng never considered that there would be any reason for this "small matter" to fail.
"Okay, I understand. Let's put away the proposal and head back to the company," Liu Yan said, recalling Lin Feng's sense of responsibility from their previous interactions and trusting his words.
"Yes, let's go back," Lin Feng replied as he felt they had discussed enough for now.
Afterward, Lin Feng and Liu Yan returned to the company.
They spent another aimless day at work before taking a taxi together to leave the office.
Just as they arrived home and before having dinner, Lin Feng received a call from Liu Jing.
"Hello..." After such a long time, Lin Feng no longer felt any anger towards Liu Jing, but his tone remained calm when speaking to her.
"Lin Feng, according to you, Rong Jie has already produced a sample of your plan and tested it, with very satisfactory results. However, we are still encountering some trouble," Liu Jing said to Lin Feng, feeling somewhat anxious.
"Be specific," Lin Feng had anticipated that this matter would not be so simple, which was also the reason he needed Liu Jing to help Su Rong. At this moment, he naturally wanted to understand the ins and outs of the situation.
"Rong Jie's ex-husband somehow got wind of our Prescription and called Rong Jie, demanding that she hand it over, even threatening her," Liu Jing directly conveyed the information Lin Feng needed to know.
"What does Rong Jie think about this?" Lin Feng was somewhat surprised that Su Rong's ex-husband could find out about the Prescription so quickly, but at this moment, what he was most concerned about was Su Rong's attitude.
Lin Feng had never believed that anyone besides himself could keep the news of the Prescription confidential because too many people were involved. It was impossible for one person to handle everything alone. There were testers, researchers, and even senior executives within Su Rong's company involved in this matter. With so many people, how could he ensure that everyone would absolutely keep quiet and not betray the company for personal gain?
Lin Feng did not know the answer, but he understood that even in such a short time, someone had already been unable to resist betraying the company's interests.
"Of course, she refused. So the other party asked Rong Jie to meet somewhere to discuss," Liu Jing continued reporting on the situation objectively without any personal feelings.
"Oh, I see. Just pretend you never called me," Lin Feng had grasped the situation but still needed some confirmation.
This was why he instructed Liu Jing to act as if she hadn't called him; he wanted to know if Su Rong would call him to discuss this matter if Liu Jing hadn't reported it.
After all, there were some things where Lin Feng needed Su Rong's cooperation. In fact, Su Rong was the main character in this matter while Lin Feng was merely a supporting role.
Thus, the main character's attitude was crucial.
"Okay, I understand. Let's leave it at that for now," Liu Jing paused for a moment before realizing Lin Feng's intention. She did not express any opinions but simply stated this.
"Yes, let's leave it at that and stay in touch," Lin Feng replied.
"By the way, Lin Feng, I'm sorry about what happened online." Just as Lin Feng was about to hang up, Liu Jing said from the other end of the line.
Lin Feng had already moved the mobile phone away from his ear, but since his hearing was not like that of an ordinary person, he heard Liu Jing's last words very clearly.
Just as he was about to pick up the phone to say something, Liu Jing had already hung up on the other end.
"Hehe... that girl." Lin Feng suddenly felt that Liu Jing was still as cute as ever. After hanging up, he shook his head and smiled.
It was quite a coincidence; just after Lin Feng hung up, Su Rong's call came in. Seeing that it was Su Rong calling, Lin Feng smiled and answered the phone.
"Is this Lin Feng?" Su Rong wasn't someone who often called Lin Feng, so she asked somewhat uncertainly at this moment.
"Yes, Rong Jie, it's me," Lin Feng replied.
"Lin Feng, thank you so much! The prescription has been produced. I added those things you gave me into the cosmetics, and I just tried them out yesterday. The results are really good, or rather, quite miraculous," Su Rong confirmed that it was indeed Lin Feng and began to speak.
Just yesterday, Lin Feng had learned that Su Rong had nearly finished making the samples of the prescription. He then handed her a package of items to add to the samples in order to ensure their efficacy. So now that Su Rong had completed the samples and successfully tested them, the conclusion was: the effects were miraculous.
"That's good to hear," Lin Feng said lightly. He had expected such results, and since he wanted to know Su Rong's attitude towards her ex-husband at this moment, he naturally wouldn't have any significant emotional fluctuations.
"Lin Feng, aren't you happy?" Su Rong, being a shrewd and capable woman, could tell from his tone over the phone that Lin Feng didn't seem very enthusiastic.
"It's not that; it's just that this result was what I anticipated. However, if it surprised you, then I believe the effect must be very good," Lin Feng realized he had exposed some of his emotions and quickly added.
