Future Stamps and Coins Diary

Chapter 56 The Annual Meeting Begins

January 07, 1, half a month away from the Spring Festival.

Inside the Zhujiang Restaurant on Siyouyi Road, the lights are bright and the seats are ready. The annual gathering of merchants from the Zongyuan Stamp and Coin Market has begun.

Lu Feng finally finished the third subject today and made an appointment to take the fourth subject next week. When he arrived at the restaurant, almost everyone was there.

"Brother Feng, this way." Huang Doudou waved to Lu Feng on the first floor.

"You're here quite early." Lu Feng smiled, rolled up the canvas bag in his hand and held it in his hand.

"How was your day? Did you pass the test?"

"Easy to catch!" Lu Feng patted his chest.

Huang Doudou gave a thumbs up and said, "After you pass the third test, the fourth test will be easy. With your IQ, you can definitely pass it after reading the questions a hundred or so times."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go." Lu Feng reminded.

Merchants passed by one by one, most of them were chatting and laughing, well-dressed, and greeted each other when they saw each other.

There were only the two of them, looking like two country bumpkins who had come to the city, wearing cheap long T-shirts and ninety-nine-piece jackets.

Along the way, Lu Feng found that he didn't know many people.

"Look, Lu Youxin and Yang Yuechao are here too." Huang Doudou suddenly glanced and gestured.

As soon as he finished speaking, the foot-washing duo had already walked into the hall. When they saw Lu Feng and Huang Doudou, they obviously frowned.

Lu Youxin snorted: “Why are you two here to join in the fun?”

Lu Feng was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, but Huang Doudou didn't have such a good temper and directly retorted: "You are the only one who rented a stall? In fact, Brother Feng's stall is more than twice as big as yours, right?"

Lu Youxin's face darkened.

Yang Yuechao immediately stepped forward to help out: "You can't say that. In the market, it's not whoever has the bigger stall that has the higher status. It's about strength and connections."

"Boss Yang is really powerful and has strong connections, so he thrives in lending money. People like us can only earn hard-earned money, we can't compare to him." Huang Doudou said sarcastically.

"Don't waste time talking to them, let's go!" Lu Youxin realized that if he argued with a little brother at a stall here, he would obviously be embarrassing himself.

Huang Doudou watched them leave and spat, "Pah, not even third-rate, yet you think you are so great."

"Come on, Brother Feng, let's go eat."

He didn't know the rules and just walked straight into the venue.

The two looked around and found their seats in the last row.

"Damn it. This market management office is really looking down on us. After all, we pay 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in rent a month, and we still have to wait in the back of the line to eat."

"Haha..." Seeing his expression, Lu Feng couldn't help but laugh: "Maybe this is a temporary addition? You see, the other tables have twelve people each, and there are only six of us. It just so happens that each of us can have a double portion."

"Well, now that you mention it, it's true." Huang Doudou then realized that apart from the two of them, there were only four seats with names on their table.

But he took a quick look and immediately shook his head, "No, I know these four. Brother Feng, you shouldn't be at the same table with us."

He has a wide range of friends, and at a glance he found that the other four people above were all small workers in the market, that is, they were the younger brothers who came here to make a living from the big customers.

"Come on. Why do you care about this? Aren't we here to eat?" Lu Feng advised.

As he was speaking, people started to move into the nearby chairs.

Lu Feng and Huang Doudou's outfits suit them quite well, unlike the others who look so glamorous.

"Hey, aren't these the two bosses of 2748? Why are they at our table too?" A young man in his twenties glanced at Lu Feng and immediately smiled.

2748 is too famous, and someone is secretly throwing mud at it. Almost the entire market knows that there is a boss who got lucky and a loser brother, and the two of them are guarding a huge stall, but they haven't made a single sale in several months. Especially the boss, most of the time he doesn't even come to the market, and he doesn't come to do business at all.

As soon as he finished speaking, people at the nearby tables looked over here.

Many people actually don’t know Lu Feng, but they have already heard of his name.

He was a young man who resigned from Youxin Coin and started his own business. He made more than 500,000 yuan by luck and dared to start his own business. In their eyes, Huang Doudou was even more bizarre.

Instead of following a big investor, he follows a newcomer with no future. Isn't this a typical sign of a broken brain?
"Look, that's Lv Feng, the boss of 2748."

"Isn't this too bad? Even the management didn't give him face and let him sit with us?"

"Is there anything wrong with that? Everyone knows that 2748 didn't last more than half a year. I think it's about the same."

"It's hard to say. After all, they have a fortune of half a million. If they don't spend it recklessly, the two of them might break the record by guarding the money."

"That's a good idea. Go and give them both some advice!"

"It takes a top-notch brain to come up with such a genius strategy."

There was all sorts of gossip going on around him, and Huang Doudou's face was gloomy. He wanted to lose his temper on the spot, but was stopped by Lu Feng.

At this moment, a familiar figure walked over, saw Lu Feng at the back, and asked curiously: "Xiao Lu, why are you here?"

Lu Feng turned around and found it was Brother Hao.

Today, Li Minghao is dressed in a suit and tie, and even the style of his reading glasses has changed. He looks very well-dressed.

"Brother Hao, you can sit anywhere. I guess we signed up later, so they have no choice but to find a random seat for us."

"No, you are one of the largest merchants on the second floor. This is not our way of treating guests. I will go find anyone who doesn't know etiquette." Li Minghao said, and was about to go and ask for an explanation.

Lu Feng quickly pulled him back: "Forget it, Hao brother. It's a great day. Besides, I don't know any of the merchants in front of me. It would be awkward to go there."

"No, this is a matter of etiquette. If this gets out, people will think that our management office is bullying the newcomer. Come, follow me!" Li Minghao directly pulled Lu Feng and walked to the front.

Li Minghao's position in the market is already transcendent. Seeing him pulling Lu Feng forward, all the merchants looked at him sideways.

Li Minghao didn't notice it at all. He pulled him to the front and took a look. He found that there was indeed no seat for Lu Feng.

After all, every chair has an owner.

He hesitated for a moment, walked to the first main table and moved his name card away.

"Come, Xiao Lu, sit here."

Lü Feng was shocked and quickly declined: "How can this be possible!"

The dozen or so people at the main table watched this scene one by one, having no idea what was going on, especially Jiang Guoru.

"Brother Hao, what happened?"

"Damn it, I don't know which blind person put Xiao Lu in the last row. I will skin him alive." Li Minghao said angrily.

"It's okay, Brother Hao. Don't be angry. It's just a matter of adding a chair." Jiang Guoru stood up with a smile, walked to the chairman's side, pulled a chair over and placed it next to herself.

"Mr. Lu, you don't mind, right?" Jiang Guoru asked with a smile.

Lu Feng naturally didn't mind this and quickly expressed his gratitude.

Nearby, a dozen of the market's top merchants looked sideways and began to speculate on Lu Feng's identity.

You know, the person who can be led by Li Minghao personally is definitely not an ordinary character. As for a market tycoon like Jiang Guoru who is loyal to everyone, it is no problem to take care of him in business, but to ask him to carry a heavy chair by himself and put it next to him, that is a bit unexpected.
