Chapter 1435 Lyman Monroe Apologizes!
Upon hearing this, Lu Feng stopped in his tracks, but did not turn around:
“Mr. Lyman, if what you’re about to say isn’t an apology, then there’s no need to say anything more. Save your energy; we have a banquet to attend later!”
"Mr. Lu!"
Lyman Monroe took a deep breath, as if he had made an important decision:
"I apologize to you. We were indeed careless in this matter. I'm sorry!"
He said this to Lu Feng's retreating figure.
"Crack!"
The mere dozen or so words, when they appeared, were like a bolt from the blue to the ears of the onlookers.
Bertzaca and Hawkins, in particular, thought they had misheard.
They've been with Qualcomm for so long, when have they ever heard the chairman apologize to someone, especially in front of so many people?
[Oh my god! What did I just hear? The chairman actually apologized?! Good heavens!]
Shocked beyond measure, Hawkins covered his face.
This can't be, this can't be...
Bertzaka muttered to himself, as if he were in a daze, repeating these few words over and over again.
Suddenly, a flash of insight struck him, pulling him back from his shock.
As if he had just realized something, the shock in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a glint of shrewdness.
The crowd was still reeling from Lyman Monroe's apology, unable to process it for a long time, until Lu Feng returned and spoke again, gradually bringing them back to their senses.
“Mr. Lyman, you are too kind. Actually, I don’t really want you to apologize. I just want to see your sincerity.”
He stood in front of Lyman Monroe with a smile on his face and said.
"Squeak, squeak!"
Lyman Monroe gritted his teeth as he watched his nonchalant expression.
"I see. I knew Mr. Lu wasn't such a petty person. Now that you see my sincerity, let's go in. The banquet is about to begin!"
"Really? Then let's go, don't let me waste our time!"
Lu Feng gestured for him to enter, making it seem to anyone who didn't know better that he was the host.
"please!!!"
Lyman Monroe forced a smile, and the two walked side by side toward the entrance of the hall.
Soon, they arrived at where Peppa Pig was standing. When Lu Feng reached her side, he stopped and looked at her with a half-smile, saying:
"Sir, there's an old Chinese saying, 'A dog's eyes look down on people.' I'm curious, which breed are you?"
His words were very direct, without any beating around the bush; he practically called you a dog.
Upon hearing this, Page's face turned a deep shade of liver. However, faced with someone who could make Lyman Monroe bow his head, no matter how angry he was inside, he dared not say anything.
Not only can he not retaliate, he has to apologize, otherwise, Lu Feng might target him because of it.
Although their family is somewhat well-known in the United States, they are no match for someone who can intimidate the chairman of Qualcomm.
"Sir... I'm sorry... I apologize for my rudeness and shortsightedness, and I hope you can forgive me!"
Paige adopted a very humble attitude; in fact, to show Lu Feng his sincerity, he even bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle while saying those words.
However, Lu Feng didn't even glance at his sincere apology and walked straight into the hall.
He's seen far too many insignificant people like this since he rose to power. Don't be fooled by how sincere his apologies seem now; it's only because of the pressure he feels due to his status.
If he were truly just a nobody today, he wouldn't have heard this apology no matter what.
Having seen too many people like that, he no longer takes them to heart. As the saying goes, those in positions of power have their own magnanimity.
If he is petty and calculating in everything, he will only leave a bad impression on others, which will lead to a very poor reputation in the business world in the future.
Once Lu Feng's figure had completely disappeared from the hall, Peiqi collapsed to the ground, as if all her strength had been exhausted.
Just now, he was genuinely afraid that Lu Feng wouldn't let him go. In that case, his family would be suppressed by a powerful figure because of his two words, and he would become the sinner of the entire family.
Fortunately, Lu Feng didn't take it to heart.
"Snapped!"
After calming down, he slapped himself across the face.
After the slap, his entire left cheek turned bright red instantly, but he still didn't stop, slapping himself again and again.
He only stopped slapping her when her entire face was red and swollen.
"Young nobleman from the East, thank you for your forgiveness!"
He bowed again towards the entrance of the hall.
Lu Feng was completely unaware of what was happening at the main entrance. He had already arrived at the main hall on the top floor, led by Lyman Monroe.
Since this banquet was held under the guise of discussing chip development, the main venue was set up in the style of a conference hall.
In the center of the banquet hall, a huge lectern stood prominently.
However, since it wasn't officially time to start, the people who came to the banquet chose to chat with acquaintances.
"Mr. Lu, what do you think? Is the scale of this symposium quite good?"
Lyman Monroe introduced the banquet hall with a touch of pride.
"Excellent, very good. Qualcomm's influence is indeed extraordinary!"
Lu Feng glanced around and nodded in agreement, but a hint of apprehension lurked in his eyes.
From Qualcomm's official announcement of a discussion to the start of the banquet today, only three days have passed.
Qualcomm's ability to organize such a lavish and comprehensive banquet within three days and to attract so many celebrities demonstrates its immense influence.
To defeat such a company, one must be extremely cautious.
Lyman Monroe's smugness grew even more apparent as he listened to Lu Feng's words. He pointed to a small table not far away, gesturing for Lu Feng to sit down with him.
Seeing this, Lu Feng did not refuse. He wanted to see what tricks this old fox was up to.
"Mr. Lu, do you know? Before Tenglong appeared, I always thought that it would take at least thirty years for China's chip industry to rise!"
"I never expected that your appearance would bring us such a big surprise."
Lyman Monroe, sitting in his chair, spoke softly, his tone tinged with emotion.
[Surprise? I think it's more like a shock!]
Lu Feng silently recited a sentence in his heart, but on the surface remained calm and composed:
"China's science and technology started late, but that doesn't mean our research capabilities are weak. After all, we have a huge population to support us, so we naturally have no shortage of talent."
