"Hey, Shishi, what are you doing here?"
Du Fei followed Gong Chengbin's secretary into his office and was surprised to find Liu Shishi there.
Before Liu Shishi could answer, Gong Chengbin winked and said, "What's wrong? Seeing CEO Liu with me makes you feel insecure?"
Du Fei shot Gong Chengbin a glare, too annoyed to even speak.
Liu Shishi, however, smiled and explained to Du Fei that she was in Gong Chengbin's office because there were still some unfinished details in the contract for their previous collaboration project. She was there for the final additions and confirmation.
Meanwhile, Gong Chengbin was rapidly signing his name on the documents in front of him.
"CEO Liu, pleasure working with you."
"Chairman Gong, pleasure working with you."
They shook hands, signifying the official start of their cooperation.
Afterward, just as Liu Shishi was about to leave, Gong Chengbin suggested they all have dinner together.
Du Fei and Liu Shishi both looked at Gong Chengbin.
"CEO Liu, Du Fei, you know him too. You won't object to him joining us, right?"
When asked this way by Gong Chengbin, Liu Shishi could only shake her head. Otherwise, it would imply she had an issue with Du Fei.
Liu Shishi said she needed to make a phone call and then pushed the door open and left first.
"Damn it, didn't you say you had something important to discuss with me? I specifically told my mom I wouldn't be home for dinner, and now you..."
Du Fei had come to see Gong Chengbin because the latter had called him earlier, saying there was something very important to discuss.
He hadn't expected Gong Chengbin to drag Liu Shishi along for dinner. What was he up to?
"Du Fei, you're one of the chairmen of Tiankun Group. Why didn't you want me to tell Liu Shishi?"
Gong Chengbin didn't answer Du Fei but instead posed a question.
Du Fei looked at Gong Chengbin, seeing the earnestness on his face, and replied, "When it comes to business, I'm truly not skilled. And this chairman position was forcefully arranged by Sister Juan as a way to repay me. I didn't want it myself, which is why I didn't want you to tell Shishi."
In fact, Du Fei really wanted to tell Su Hao and Ye Huijuan that they had already given him enough consultation fees and didn't need to make him a chairman of Tiankun Group, giving him such a grand gift.
However, seeing their good intentions, Du Fei couldn't figure out how to refuse.
But he had also made up his mind that the chairman position should go to Gong Chengbin, who genuinely had a head for business. He personally disliked wearing suits and ties and attending meetings with a large group of people.
However, if Tiankun Group ever needed his help, he would definitely assist.
"Alright, since you insist, I won't force you."
Gong Chengbin then told Du Fei that he had already arranged with Liu Shishi to sign the contract that day, so he thought he'd take the opportunity to create a chance for Du Fei and Liu Shishi.
Du Fei listened and helplessly rubbed his forehead. Gong Chengbin was truly exasperating.
"What's wrong, Du Fei? This is a gesture of brotherhood. Let me tell you, if you hadn't met CEO Liu first, such a beautiful woman like her, I would definitely pursue her."
Gong Chengbin acted like a loyal brother.
With Gong Chengbin having said all that, what else could Du Fei say?
Just then, Liu Shishi returned after her call. Du Fei could only give Gong Chengbin a thumbs-up.
The three of them went downstairs together and got into Gong Chengbin's driver's car, leaving Tiankun Group.
"Alright, we've finished dinner. Du Fei, show your gentlemanly demeanor and take CEO Liu home, shall we?"
After dinner, the three of them arrived at the entrance of the restaurant. Gong Chengbin deliberately said this.
Du Fei naturally understood what Gong Chengbin was thinking, while Liu Shishi instinctively glanced at Du Fei.
"Then, Shishi, I'll take you home first."
With it put like that, Du Fei naturally wouldn't refuse.
Liu Shishi also nodded, and the two of them waved goodbye to Gong Chengbin.
Since Du Fei hadn't driven, he had to flag down a taxi by the roadside with Liu Shishi.
Just as Du Fei hailed a taxi and was holding the door frame while Liu Shishi got into the back seat, Liu Shishi realized her briefcase containing the contract had been left in Gong Chengbin's car.
Du Fei apologized to the taxi driver and asked him to wait a moment. He then walked towards the underground parking lot of the restaurant while making a call.
Upon arriving at the parking lot, Du Fei quickly saw Gong Chengbin standing by the business car, holding Liu Shishi's bag and waiting for him.
"Why did you come down yourself? I was going to come up anyway. At worst, I'd drive the car to the roadside and then the bag..."
"Danger."
Before Gong Chengbin could finish his sentence, Du Fei suddenly saw a red dot appear on him.
A sense of crisis flashed through Du Fei's mind. Then, he forcefully pushed off the ground with his right foot.
The ground indented under his kick, and Du Fei, like an arrow released from a bow, swiftly moved to Gong Chengbin's side and tackled him to the ground.
"Holy hell, man, are you crazy?"
Gong Chengbin was thrown to the ground by Du Fei, feeling dizzy and disoriented.
But as he followed Du Fei's pointing finger, he saw that the driver who had been standing beside him had fallen into a pool of blood. Gong Chengbin's mouth hung open in shock, unable to close.
"Du, Du Fei, what's going on?"
Seeing the driver's condition, Gong Chengbin, who had never fired a gun but knew the consequences, immediately guessed that the driver had been shot.
After tackling Gong Chengbin, Du Fei's eyes darted around, trying to locate the shooter.
Hearing Gong Chengbin's question beside him, Du Fei kept his eyes forward and replied, "How would I know what you've been up to that would get you shot in the dark?"
As he couldn't immediately locate the shooter, Du Fei could only lead Gong Chengbin back into the business car.
"Damn it, how can you talk like that? I was even thinking of creating an opportunity for you and CEO Liu to have some alone time. Du Fei, you're simply..."
*Slam!*
Before Gong Chengbin could finish speaking, the rear window of the business car shattered, startling him into ducking and covering his head on the floor.
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Am I going to die here? Du Fei, I know you're skilled, hurry up and find a way to get me out of here!"
Gong Chengbin had lost all sense of humor now.
This was no joke. Two bullets had just whizzed past his ear. Who knew if the next one would hit his head? Gong Chengbin just wanted to leave this place immediately.
Du Fei first sent a message to Liu Shishi, saying he and Gong Chengbin had something to do and she should go home by herself. As for the briefcase with the contract, he would deliver it to her tomorrow.
Without waiting for Liu Shishi's reply, Du Fei quickly scrambled from the back seat to the driver's seat.
He started the car as quickly as possible and then stomped on the accelerator, the tires screeching against the ground.
During this time, several more bullets hit the business car.
