Chapter 364: Chapter 364 Borrowing a Car

Compared to Zhou Zheng’s confusion, Zhou Xiaodong and the seven leaders couldn’t help but shake their heads and smile.

After all, they had been present the night before and had overheard the conversation between Zhong Tianlong and Chen Feng, so they knew exactly what was going on.

This caused the group to feel a wave of sympathy for Zhong Tianlong, who really seemed to be a pitiable figure, a living tragedy.

"Alright, big brother Zhou, don’t fret about where the money comes from any longer. You can rest assured it wasn’t stolen, so just feel free to use it. And remember to contact me in a timely manner if the company’s funds run short again!" Chen Feng said with a smile, as he patted Zhou Zheng on the shoulder.

After all, since the company’s foundation, it had been Zhou Zheng who had been taking great care of it, while Chen Feng himself had been decidedly hands-off; this made Chen Feng feel a little guilty.

If he wasn’t going to exert effort, he’d at least contribute more money.

"Alright, sure!" Zhou Zheng replied, nodding. A stone had been lifted from his heart.

With Chen Feng’s three hundred million injected into the company, its finances would not only stop being tight, but they’d actually become plentiful. For a company that was still in development, this was incredibly good news.

He didn’t have to worry anymore.

By around five or six in the evening, the hiring process was drawing to a close.

Nearly all of Zhou Zheng and the seven leaders’ skilled subordinates had been successfully hired, with most being placed in the security department and some of the more capable ones in the bodyguard department.

They were quite happy and satisfied with this.

After all, having a legitimate and stable job—with not just a decent salary, but one that could amount to several thousand a month, and with the possibility of bonuses for good performance—was far better than brandishing machetes on the street.

Moreover, they could now proudly tell their families what they really did for a living.

As for Zhou Xiaodong and the seven leaders, Chen Feng gave them good positions within the company, like department managers or supervisors, and high remuneration, including end-of-year bonuses, to encourage them to work hard.

This was much better than leading their underlings around, extorting protection money on the streets, constantly fearing injury or even death, and not making much money.

Now, as part of the company’s senior management, they were earning tens of thousands a month, with end-of-year bonuses that could lead to yearly earnings of several hundred thousand.

And when they introduced themselves, their status had a certain prestige to it!

Being corporate executives seemed much more respectable than having the reputation of underworld bosses.

Therefore, Zhou Xiaodong and the other seven were extremely pleased with their new roles, their previous hesitation vanished without a trace.

They decided that from now on, they would work hard at the company, start anew, walk the right path, and not let down Chen Feng’s cultivation and high expectations.

After the company interviews ended, it was already getting dark.

Chen Feng remembered he had a promise to keep with Jiang Shiqi, so he left the company.

Just as he walked out, heading to the parking lot, Jiang Shiqi’s call came through.

Seeing this, Chen Feng shook his head with a smile and answered.

"Hello, senior, where are you? I’ve been waiting for you at the school gate for so long!" came Jiang Shiqi’s voice, filled with complaint, once he picked up.

"Eh, I was handling some business outside, I’ll be there right now!" Chen Feng said, sounding a bit embarrassed.

"Then you have to hurry up, okay? We’re running out of time. Can you make it in ten minutes?" Jiang Shiqi asked.

"Ten minutes?"

Chen Feng thought for a moment. The company wasn’t far from the school, and if he drove quickly, he should make it.

With that thought, Chen Feng nodded and replied, "It should be about right!"

"Okay, then hurry up. If you don’t make it in ten minutes, I... I won’t play with you anymore!" Jiang Shiqi said petulantly, puffing up her cheeks like a little girl.

After speaking, Jiang Shiqi hung up the phone.

Chen Feng shook his head with a smile as he listened to the busy tone on the phone, then climbed into his Audi Q7.

However, as soon as Chen Feng settled into the car and was about to start it, he realized there was no gas left.

Chen Feng gave a bitter smile; he feared this truly meant he was going to break his promise.

Because searching for someone to refuel now would definitely be too late.

Even if he walked out of the parking lot now and hailed a cab,

with a taxi’s speed, it would definitely not make it to the school in ten minutes.

This frustrated Chen Feng quite a bit.

Just as Chen Feng was wrestling with his headache, a figure walked into the parking lot and came into his view.

It was none other than Zhou Xiaodong.

Coincidentally, Zhou Xiaodong’s car was parked next to Chen Feng’s.

It was a white Santana, probably worth a little over fifty thousand, which of course, couldn’t compare to Chen Feng’s Audi Q7.

Zhou Xiaodong quickly walked up to the Santana, opened the door, and was about to get in.

Seeing this, Chen Feng’s eyes lit up, he immediately got out of his car and called out, "Xiaodong!"

Zhou Xiaodong, who had just been about to get into his car, jumped at Chen Feng’s shout, not expecting Chen Feng to suddenly appear next to him.

"Chen Ye, it’s you! You scared me. Was there something you needed?"

Zhou Xiaodong looked at Chen Feng and let out a long breath, reverently asking.

"Lend me your car, I’ve got an emergency!"

Chen Feng cut straight to the chase.

"No problem!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaodong didn’t hesitate at all and promptly handed over his car keys to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng took Zhou Xiaodong’s car keys, then tossed his own Audi keys to Zhou Xiaodong, saying, "Fill it up with gas for me, just return it tomorrow!"

After speaking, Chen Feng got straight into the Santana, started it up, put it in gear, revved the engine, and sped out of the parking lot toward the school.

Staring at the Audi keys Chen Feng had thrown to him, and at the Audi Q7 next to him, Zhou Xiaodong was completely stunned, then his face filled with excitement, and tears streamed down his face.

This! This was an Audi Q7 worth over a million!

Chen Ye had actually trusted him enough to hand it over just like that!

Didn’t this just mean that Chen Ye had a lot of trust in him?

Thinking this, Zhou Xiaodong was incredibly moved.

He secretly vowed that he must work diligently in the future and must never betray Chen Feng’s trust!

However, Chen Feng, who was now rushing toward the school, had no idea that a casual act had actually won someone’s loyalty...

Since he had borrowed the car, with Chen Feng’s driving skills, after various overtaking maneuvers and drifts, he finally managed to reach the school entrance within ten minutes.

"You finally made it!"

Jiang Shiqi saw Chen Feng and first gave him an eye roll, then spoke with a face full of reproach.

"Uh, where exactly are we headed?"

Chen Feng said with an apologetic smile.

"You’ll know when you get there, just drive quickly!"

Jiang Shiqi said, hastily getting into Chen Feng’s Santana and urging him on.

Chen Feng smiled helplessly and had no choice but to start the car and headed to the destination following Jiang Shiqi’s lead...
