NOVEL NEXT Chapter 117 Commitment
Of course, with Yun Hanrui's strength, naturally, she wouldn't cause Ling Feng any harm. However, Ling Feng's exaggerated expression melted much of Yun Hanrui's icy demeanor.
"Hmph, who I like, and who I want to be with, what does that have to do with you!" Yun Hanrui said coldly, "Besides, didn't you say you dislike Lin Zhijie?"
Ling Feng nodded and said, "Of course, haven't you heard of the principle of like repels like? It means that talented individuals of the same sex tend to have a strong exclusive reaction! It's only natural that I don't like your Brother Lin!"
A hint of a smile appeared involuntarily at the corner of Yun Hanrui's mouth, "You? Dare to compare yourself with my Brother Lin, I really don't know where your confidence comes from!"
Just like that, the atmosphere between them somehow became less icy than before, and Ling Feng also breathed a sigh of relief.
The next item on the agenda was to meet with the bidding party for partnership discussions. At the meeting, Ling Feng unexpectedly encountered someone he had once scolded, Guo Xiaodong, and it turned out that Guo's Dongfeng Construction Company was the constructor for the new phase of the Biotech Park.
However, all of Guo Xiaodong's attention was focused on Yun Hanrui and Secretary Lin among others, showing no interest whatsoever in Yun Hanrui's personal driver.
About an hour later, Yun Hanrui's discussion finally ended, and Ling Feng had fallen asleep in the car out of boredom.
"Where are we heading next?" Ling Feng asked when he saw Yun Hanrui return.
Yun Hanrui said, "Originally, we were going to visit the demolition site to take a look, but just now Secretary Lin mentioned that he had handed it over to President Guo to handle, so it's not really appropriate for me to show up there now."
Ling Feng looked at Yun Hanrui's somewhat tired face and said, "You look a bit tired, what's wrong?"
Yun Hanrui rubbed her forehead and said, "Originally, this collaboration with the Yanjing Municipal Committee to establish a large-scale biotechnology park was supposed to be a good thing. But I forgot that Secretary Lin won't be in his position much longer; he's becoming impatient."
Ling Feng asked somewhat puzzled, "What's so bad about being in a rush? Wouldn't that mean a green light all the way, without worrying about difficulties from relevant departments?"
Yun Hanrui gave Ling Feng a glare, "It's not that simple. Don't you know that haste makes waste? Rushing things can often bring about many hidden dangers! Moreover, President Guo even promised to set up the biotechnology park within half a year, which is almost an impossible task! I have an ominous feeling about this."
"Don't worry so much!" Ling Feng looked at Yun Hanrui, frowning, a flicker of sympathy passed through his heart, "After all, she's just a twenty-four-year-old girl ah, other girls her age are enjoying their youth, spending it freely, while Yun Hanrui is already gritting her teeth and running a company!"
"Everything has two sides!" Ling Feng consoled her, "Although there might be safety concerns, you should also know that the power of the people is limitless. It's not impossible to establish a complete biotech park in half a year, and even if something goes wrong, there are higher authorities to answer to. We just need to do our part well, and there's no use in overthinking the rest!"
"Yes, there's no use in overthinking the rest!" Yun Hanrui said with a bitter smile, "Although Chaoyang Biotech is also a partner, when cooperating with the government, we can never be in a commanding position. As long as Secretary Lin insists on his way, all we can do is follow blindly. I'm just worried about what will happen to the company if something goes wrong in the future?"
Suddenly, Ling Feng turned his head and made a funny face with his hand on his face. Upon seeing Ling Feng's funny face, Yun Hanrui's previously furrowed brows instantly relaxed.
"Pfft!" Yun Hanrui couldn't help but laugh, "Ling Feng, what are you up to!"
Ling Feng put away his funny face and smiled, "See, you look much prettier smiling than frowning just now!"
"You..." Hearing Ling Feng's compliment, a blush flashed across Yun Hanrui's face as she lifted her hand to hit him.
"In this world, if you want to achieve something, it won't always be smooth sailing!" Ling Feng said calmly, "Without enduring hardships, you'll never see the spectacular rainbow after the rain! No matter what happens in the future, no matter what insurmountable difficulties you face, being pessimistic will never solve a problem.
Only those who can still smile in the face of desperation are truly strong warriors!"
"Moreover, no matter what happens in the future, you are never alone!" Ling Feng said earnestly, "Uncle Yun, Aunt Yun, and even I will always stand behind you!"
A flicker of surprise and a touch of emotion passed through Yun Hanrui's eyes. After hearing what Ling Feng said, her previously anxious heart actually calmed down.
"You're not my anything, I don't need you standing behind me!" Yun Hanrui murmured, then turned her head away, but her red ears revealed the turmoil in her heart.
Ling Feng chuckled, fully aware of Yun Hanrui's mild arrogance. He said these things because in his heart, Yun Hanrui was like a sister to him.
Having been through so much, Ling Feng held emotions in high regard! After returning to the country, the sincerity of Uncle Yun gave him a sense of warmth like being at home once more! Although Yun Hanrui initially did not have a good impression of him, she still took the initiative to help him find a job. Beneath her proud exterior, there lay a kind heart!
Thus, Ling Feng had said all those words! No matter what happened in the future, as long as he was alive, he would not let Yun Hanrui get hurt! This was a brother's solemn promise to his sister, even though Yun Hanrui was not aware of it yet!
"Ling Feng, thank you!" A few minutes later, Yun Hanrui turned around and said earnestly, "You being able to guide me, I am really happy!"
"As long as you're okay, that's good!" Ling Feng joked, "Frowning too much will give you crow's feet! By the way, are you going home now or back to the company?"
"Right now, I need to go somewhere. Can you take me there?" Yun Hanrui said, "I've been quite busy recently, I haven't been there for many days."
Just then, a girl suddenly appeared in front of the car. Ling Feng quickly braked, thankfully the car wasn't going fast, and he didn't hit her.
"Hey, girl, are you alright?" Ling Feng rolled down the window and asked, "Why aren't you walking properly and running into the road!"
The girl in front of the car wore sporty clothing and exuded a strong aura, which made Ling Feng somewhat cautious.
The girl looked young with delicate features. Her gaze shifted from Ling Feng to see Yun Hanrui in the passenger seat and asked, "Are you Ms. Yun Hanrui, the president of Chaoyang Biotechnology Company?"
