"Oh, Rong Jie, could you tell me the specifics? Maybe I can help you," Su Rong said. After Su Rong gave a brief overview, Lin Feng understood that her troubles were related to a type of business fraud. He had a clearer idea of the situation and continued to ask Su Rong.
"A month ago, my ex-husband told me that the tech team he managed had developed a new formula that could completely eliminate acne, and he even showed me the results. It was really impressive. You know, even though there are many types of cosmetics now, as someone in the industry, I can honestly say that I had never encountered anything before that could completely get rid of acne," Su Rong said without intending to hide anything.
"Well, I understand. You immediately thought about how to maximize profits from this acne treatment product for the company?" Lin Feng inferred from Su Rong's words what she might be planning.
"Yes, Lin Feng, your guess is correct. I was thinking about independently completing this product, so I needed to set up a production factory. But I knew that with my personal capabilities, I couldn't handle such a big project alone, so I decided to bring in foreign investment," Su Rong confirmed Lin Feng's speculation.
"And just at that moment, that man appeared. He pretended to evaluate the cosmetic's effectiveness and was very pleased after seeing the results. He immediately expressed his desire to invest," Su Rong continued her story.
"Do you know how happy I was at that time? It felt like just when you were about to sleep, someone brought you a pillow. But I was still very cautious and carefully negotiated and signed the contract with him. What puzzled me was that this person was ready to invest a lot in this project; the first round of investment was ten million, and he provided cash on the day we signed the contract. Of course, besides being quick with the money, he also raised the compensation amount to double the principal. When I asked him why he did that, he only said he wanted our company to fully commit to researching and producing this product and claimed he didn't need much profit—just ten percent of the total profit," Su Rong said at last, her usually pleasant demeanor now filled with anger and hatred.
"Oh, so he never intended for this project to make money; he just wanted you to breach the contract for a huge compensation?" Lin Feng listened to Su Rong's account and began to piece together what had happened. Normally, Su Rong wouldn't have been able to uncover the other party's business secrets through legitimate means, but with her ex-husband as an insider, it would be difficult for her not to incur losses.
"Yes, Lin Feng, you guessed it so quickly! But I was foolish; I should have decisively stopped this contract—which was essentially a suicide pact for my company—once I sensed something was off. Instead, I naively thought it was an opportunity from heaven and wanted to seize it."
"No, Rong Jie, this isn't your fault. At that time, your ex-husband was still your husband; how could you have suspected him?" Lin Feng naturally wouldn't let Su Rong excessively blame herself and tried to comfort her.
"No, Lin Feng, you don't understand. My husband and I were already having issues; or rather, our marriage was a mistake from the start. At that time, I didn't think he would harm me like this; he planned to divorce me after getting my compensation. I was too naive," Su Rong said with regret.
"Alright, Rong Jie, what's done is done. There may still be ways to salvage the situation," Lin Feng continued to encourage her. If it weren't for their encounter, Lin Feng believed Su Rong would continue blaming herself, leading to even more severe consequences.
A woman who never drinks liquor suddenly wanting to drink—it can't be a good sign, can it?
"Really? Lin Feng, I've tried hard; I've even hired a lawyer. I've considered begging my ex-husband to let us go because if that happens—not only will my company go bankrupt and I'll lose everything—but even I could end up in prison due to the so-called 'business fraud' charges. Xiao Ling is still so young; she just turned three—she can't be without me taking care of her," Su Rong said.
"Rong Jie, I think you might have misunderstood everything up to now. At this point, even if your ex-husband wants to help you, he may be powerless," Lin Feng said to Su Rong, perhaps thinking further ahead as an observer.
"Why do you say that?" Su Rong was surprised by Lin Feng's statement and asked.
"The reason is simple. I suspect that your husband never had this formula at all; everything is just a play he put on by exploiting your trust," Lin Feng revealed his speculation. Tesla is an excellent doctor; besides having the most advanced medical skills, he also possesses cutting-edge pharmaceutical theories. However, Lin Feng knew through him that while it might be possible for him to research such a drug, it would be impossible for an ordinary person on Earth in this era to do so. Therefore, Lin Feng dared to make this guess and believed it was highly likely.
"What? Lin Feng, are you sure?" Su Rong was taken aback by Lin Feng's speculation and asked him in disbelief.
"I'm not trying to deceive you; I can't confirm it for now, but I know that you might be able to find the answer yourself," Lin Feng shrugged and said.
"Oh? You mean I should go find that bastard?" Su Rong began to understand what Lin Feng meant and asked.
"No, actually, while it's very intriguing, it has nothing to do with whether the issue can be resolved. If he doesn't have the formula, it only proves he deceived you thoroughly. If he does have the formula, do you think he would give it to you? He has endured for so long without divorcing just to get that huge compensation; do you think he would change his mind because of your pleas?" Lin Feng knew that Su Rong's rationality was at its lowest point and felt compelled to elaborate further.
"Moreover, you don't need to test or prove this answer; you'll know soon enough. Instead of being proactive, it's better to wait quietly for his answer. Going to find him now will only give him a chance to embarrass you," Lin Feng said as Su Rong calmed down.
He certainly didn't want Su Rong to face that so-called ex-husband again, especially since he probably wouldn't have a pleasant demeanor.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Lin Feng. At least you've made me see things more clearly. To be honest, I was too troubled before and didn't think about it in detail," Su Rong said after listening to Lin Feng's words. She felt much more awake and thanked him, though her smile was still quite melancholic, which made Lin Feng feel uneasy. It was truly unfortunate that such a good woman had encountered such a man.
"Rong Jie, don't say that. You're just too close to the situation to see clearly. Come on, let's come up with solutions together. Although my dad works for Lin Feng, we have some savings at home. I'll contact my dad; maybe he can help," Chen Xinni expressed her sympathy for Su Rong's plight. As a woman herself who had never been married, she understood how deep such harm could be. At this moment, she stood up and linked her arm with Su Rong's while offering comforting words.
"Thank you for your kindness. This matter isn't so easily resolved; don't involve your dad in this. I'm already grateful for your concern," Su Rong replied upon hearing that Chen Xinni's father also worked for Lin Feng. She was surprised and hadn't expected Lin Feng to have such capabilities that allowed Chen Xinni's father to work for him.
From Chen Xinni's taste in clothing and the car she drove, Su Rong sensed that Chen Xinni was likely not just an ordinary rich man's daughter; this showed how formidable Lin Feng's abilities were.
"Ha ha... Rong Jie, being anxious won't solve the problem, and getting drunk is just an act of avoidance. If you trust me, show me that contract; I might be able to help you think of a solution." Lin Feng had already decided to help Su Rong. Not only because of Su Rong, but also for Xiao Ling's sake, Lin Feng couldn't let her family suffer this kind of harm, so he took the initiative to speak to Su Rong.
Of course, Lin Feng didn't say everything at once. Although he was quite confident about resolving this matter, at least in City B, a mid-level city, Lin Feng could still hold his ground. Not to mention that he could have Liu Jie talk to Su Rong's ex-husband, which might end the issue immediately. Liu Jie might seem insignificant in Lin Feng's eyes, but Qian Bang, especially after swallowing Song Gang, held immense power in City B. Lin Feng believed that as Young Master Song of Qian Bang, Liu Jie could easily resolve this matter with just a few words.
However, Lin Feng didn't plan to do it that way. Since they were using business tactics to attack, Lin Feng intended to retaliate with business means. You have plenty of money and even invested ten million; then Lin Feng would gladly accept that funding and make them shoot themselves in the foot, leaving them with nothing in the end.
"Oh, wait a moment; I'll go get it for you. However, I only have a copy on my computer at home. I don't know if that will work. If not, I can bring the original from the office tomorrow," Su Rong clearly trusted Lin Feng. Of course, her trust at this moment also stemmed from a sense of desperation, so she prepared to fetch it for him.
"Oh, that's not necessary; I just need to see the copy. I only need some information; there's no need for the original," Lin Feng only wanted to understand a few things, so it didn't matter whether it was the original or not.
"Okay, I understand. Just a moment; I'll print it out for you," Su Rong said as she agreed to prepare it since Lin Feng only needed to see the copy.
"Alright, no rush," Lin Feng replied with a smile when he saw Su Rong regain some fighting spirit.
Once Su Rong left, only Chen Xinni and Lin Feng remained. This time they didn't argue but also didn't speak.
"Hey... are you really planning to help Rong Jie?" After a while, it was still Chen Xinni who took the initiative to speak to Lin Feng. However, feeling that initiating conversation might be somewhat embarrassing for her, she didn't use Lin Feng's name but simply said "hey..." to get his attention.
"Sorry, my name isn't 'hey'," Lin Feng naturally noticed why Chen Xinni was acting that way and felt like laughing inside but maintained a serious demeanor as he replied.
