Chapter 324 The Mother-in-Law Can't Wait Any Longer
With the final item fetching a high price of 30 million, the auction came to a perfect close.
When no one is lighting sky lanterns, the auction itself isn't very interesting; the main event is the dinner after the auction.
Inside the private room, the table for Cheng Feng and his two companions was laden with delicacies, and expensive wine glasses were filled with fine wine.
The people below were eating at the buffet with wine glasses, while the three people above were eating a special meal prepared by the Crescent Hotel.
"It was worth coming today. This table of food and drinks alone is enough for Lao Hu and me to harvest for several months."
Fatty Wang had glanced at the menu of the Crescent Moon Hotel, but that was all; asking him to actually order anything would be absurd.
Prices were often in the thousands or tens of thousands, and some drinks even cost millions or tens of millions. Fatty and Hu Bayi both thought at the time that this was a scam to rip off suckers.
"You and Lao Hu are just lazy. If you had any ambition, you wouldn't have earned so little."
Cheng Feng didn't mean to be disappointed in his son; everyone has their own way of living.
As long as they are both satisfied, that's fine.
"Why make so much money? Enough is enough. These meals only cost a thousand or eight hundred yuan to prepare."
The Crescent Moon Hotel is only worth this much; there's no need to spend so much money to eat here.
As the fat man was talking animatedly, a woman's soft voice came from outside the curtain:
"Mr. Wang, you're mistaken. Crescent Moon Hotel is honest and fair to all, and we only charge the cost price for these dishes."
Then a maid lifted the curtain, and Yin Zhiyi and Yin Nanfeng gracefully entered the private room.
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang paused for a moment, then looked at Cheng Feng before resuming their actions.
"I apologize for disturbing you, gentlemen, and hope you will not take offense."
The fat man chuckled and said:
"No offense, no offense."
Then he turned to Cheng Feng and asked:
"Old Cheng, who is this?"
"Yin Zhiyi, the owner of the New Moon Hotel, is also my business partner."
Cheng Feng briefly explained Yin Zhiyi's identity, but just her surname alone was enough for Wang Pangzi and Hu Bayi to understand a lot.
As is widely known, the Crescent Moon Hotel has always been a family business of the Yin family.
"Oh, it's the proprietress! It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Wang Kaixuan, you can call me Fatty Wang if you like."
"Hu Bayi, greetings to the landlady."
Wang Pangzi and Hu Bayi also exuded confidence, introducing themselves in a very generous manner.
"I had heard of Mr. Wang's name long ago. His forgery case caused quite a stir back then."
Yin Zhiyi smiled and said, "As the saying goes, everyone carries a beautiful sedan chair. Bringing up something the other person is proud of is the quickest way to close the distance."
Fatty Wang immediately became smug and said that it was the right thing to do.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yin Zhiyi turned her gaze to Cheng Feng and then spoke softly:
“Mr. Cheng, someone from a special department has come to me asking if you could meet with him when you have some free time.”
Upon hearing this, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang fell silent. This was a rather high-level statement, and speaking carelessly could easily cause trouble for Cheng Feng.
"What department are you from?"
Cheng Feng took a sip of wine and asked in a low voice.
"State-level agencies handle special cases."
"Bring him to see me at 2 PM."
After confirming the meeting time, Yin Zhiyi had someone give Hu Bayi and Wang Pangzi VIP cards for the New Moon Hotel before saying goodbye and leaving.
Neither of them paid any attention to the card that represented their status and position.
They all looked at Cheng Feng with solemn expressions.
"Old Cheng, the people in this department have a special status, comparable to the Imperial Guards of ancient times. If there's any trouble, I can go see the old man."
Fatty Wang spoke solemnly.
Wang Kaixuan wasn't without connections; his grandfather was a test server player, and his father was a launch server player.
Although his generation did not continue the glory of his predecessors, the first two players were no pushovers.
"Yes, Lao Cheng, I have an old superior who used to work in this department. Although he's retired now, he still has influence."
Hu Bayi is an even more heavyweight, a bigwig who led a special department until his retirement.
If they were carried out, the entire capital would be shaken.
"Fatty, Lao Hu, I appreciate your kindness, but they need my help right now, so don't worry, nothing will happen."
Cheng Feng patted the fat man on the shoulder and offered words of comfort.
Fatty and Hu Bayi were unaware of Cheng Feng's heroic act of going to the capital alone, nor were they deliberately concealing it.
It's not that knowing too much is beneficial; they are all people who want a peaceful life and are not suitable to get involved in these matters.
"Then I'm relieved. But my word still holds true; let me know if you ever run into any trouble."
After the fat man finished speaking, Cheng Feng picked up his wine and toasted the two of them.
Whether or not these things were truly helpful to Cheng Feng, the attitude had been shown, and Cheng Feng was still very touched.
After a satisfying meal, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang declined Cheng Feng's offer to stay.
He dropped the two off outside the New Moon Hotel and arranged to meet again after Cheng Feng had finished dealing with his affairs.
Then Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang got into the car arranged by the New Moon Hotel and left.
Back at the hotel, Cheng Feng first went upstairs for a nap, and then got up to wash his face around 2 p.m.
After sitting on the sofa in the living room for a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Cheng, the person you were looking for has arrived. Are you available now?"
Yin Zhiyi's gentle voice rang out from outside the door.
"come in."
Upon hearing Cheng Feng's reply, the two maids stood on either side and opened the door.
Then a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit followed Yin Zhiyi into the room.
"Mr. Cheng, my name is Huang Yaoguo. It is an honor to meet you."
The visitor was very humble; although he had the appearance of a bureaucrat, he did not put on airs in front of Cheng Feng.
"Mr. Huang, please have a seat."
You can't hit someone who's smiling. Since they've made their attitude clear, Cheng Feng won't deliberately make things difficult for them.
Huang Yaoguo quickly thanked him, then sat upright on the sofa below Cheng Feng, barely even sitting on the bottom.
Standard etiquette for subordinates meeting their superiors in official circles.
"I suppose you two have important matters to discuss, so I won't disturb you any longer. Please feel free to ask if you need anything."
Before Yin Zhiyi left, Huang Yaoguo made a point of thanking her in front of Cheng Feng.
After Yin Zhiyi left, Huang Yaoguo chuckled and took out a small handkerchief to wipe his forehead.
“Mr. Cheng, I’m here to relay a message from Mrs. Huo. She wants to ask you when you will deal with that matter.”
Only then did Cheng Feng realize that his cheap mother-in-law was getting impatient.
It seems the father-in-law's competitors are quite strong.
“Go back and tell her that I will go to the site to investigate first thing tomorrow morning. Tell her to make arrangements in advance so that there won’t be any misunderstandings.”
Upon hearing Cheng Feng's instructions, Huang Yaoguo immediately agreed.
