CHAPTER 1622 FISHING LINE AND BAIT
'Tve disappointed Brother Ning and CEO Lin." Xiaozhao's eyes were a little red. She was both anxious and upset.
Lee Group barely had any regard for Lin Group, so they wouldn't care about a tiny secretary like her and actually sign a contract with Lin Group that favored Lin Group.
Even if Lin Yuzhen came, she might not get the contract signed either.
Xiaozhao looked so upset, but Fei just shook his head.
"Big Boss got you to come here but he doesn't expect you to close the deal.”
"Why?”
"He's just fishing," said Fei calmly. "And we're just the fishing line."
Xiaozhao pursed her lips and felt even more like crying.
They weren't even bait, and were just the fishing line. This belongs to - ©.
She didn't even mind being the fishing hook. It was impossible for Jiang Ning to use her as bait.
"So...so who's the bait?" she asked a little indignantly. If she was only the fishing line, she wanted to know who was qualified to be the bait.
"Himself, of course." Fei rolled his eyes at her. Was this very hard to understand? He couldn't believe Xiaozhao actually asked.
"Wha-?" Xiaozhao was really confused and took a while to get it. "So you're saying that Brother Ning is the bait, CEO Lin is the hook while we're the fishing line or rod?”
In that case, then she was still considered a rather important factor.
Without a fishing line, it wasn't possible to catch any fish with just a hook and bait.
Fei stared at Xiaozhao for a while. He couldn't believe that a random metaphor he used would be taken so seriously by her.
"That's right," he nodded. "So you've done a good job of completing your mission. The fishing line has been cast into the sea here, and the bait will be coming over next. So we just have to wait for the fish to take the bait."
He wasn't sure if Xiaozhao knew what he was talking about. He wasn't very sure himself either.
Fei usually knew more or less what Jiang Ning wanted to do, but when it came to figuring out exactly why Jiang Ning was doing all this and what he was going to do next, Fei never bothered wasting his brain cells on such things.
Jiang Ning never did anything predictable, so random guessing was too tiring and it was easier to just let nature run its course. Jiang Ning would have considered every single person, including what each person would do and to what extent.
Jiang Ning was really good at judging others!
After he was done consoling Xiaozhao, Fei got up. "Alright, rest well. Once the venue for the martial arts academy is fixed, we'll get busy."
He walked to the door and narrowed his eyes as his voice turned icy, "It'll really become very lively once that day rolls around."
With that, he opened the door and walked out, leaving Xiaozhao standing in a daze in the room. After comparing her foresight with Jiang Ning's, she suddenly felt like the two of them came from
two different universes.
"I'm still a little sad that things didn't work out, but it's not a bad thing to be Brother Ning's fishing line too," she murmured to herself. Then she looked up at the shut room door. "Then what's Fei? A fishing float tied to my fishing line?"
Meanwhile.
At Lee Group.
Lee Moonsaeng started cursing away as he sat in his own office.
"All of you are nothing but trash!"
"How dare you demand another $30 million from me when you can't even get a simple thing like this done? Park Daeseong, do you still dare to say that you call the shots in Seoul?!" Lee Moonsaeng didn't bother being polite at all and yelled angrily, "It looks like I need to tell my family about this! Handing the illegal circle to someone like you might have been a mistake!"
The person on the other line was not in a good mood either. After Lee Moonsaeng just lashed out at him like that, Park Daeseong felt like killing him too!
BAM!
He flung the phone aside and stared coldly at Seo and his other men kneeling before him.
"You bastards! A bunch of fools! You've thoroughly embarrassed me!" shouted Park Daeseong furiously. Lee Moonsaeng had reprimanded him so harshly but he couldn't even argue back. "Was it so hard
to just kill one guy?!"
