Feng Yu watched the car disappear from his sight before he put away the smile on his face, took a deep breath, and with a serious expression he took out the cell phone from his coat, found a contact number and called.
"beep…"
The phone rang several times.
Someone answered the phone: "Hello?"
Feng Yu adjusted his mood and spoke politely: "Hello, I am Feng Yu from the First Research Institute. Is Mr. Martin free today?"
"Ah, Dean Feng, hello, hello." The person who answered the phone was Martin's personal assistant. He had met Feng Yu several times and the two were considered to be acquaintances.
He didn't let Feng Yu wait for long. He checked and replied to Feng Yu: "Sorry, Dean Feng, the gentleman has an appointment today."
When Feng Yu heard the word "appointment", his heart suddenly sank, but he still maintained his composure and asked, "Can I ask where Mr. Martin is going?"
This question is actually a bit rude.
But Feng Yu's status was there, so the assistant didn't think much about it and said everything: "Mr. was supposed to go to Shanhai Pavilion to keep an appointment in the evening, but an important guest suddenly made an appointment with him, so Mr. declined the invitation from Shanhai Pavilion. As for where he is now? I don't know."
Feng Yu had been keeping an eye on Ji Ziyin and Gu Hengbo in the past few days. This afternoon, he received a report from his spies saying that Gu Hengbo and Ji Ziyin were both in Shanhai Pavilion. He had a bad guess at the time...
So Martin didn’t come to Shanhai Pavilion
Feng Yu was slightly distracted.
So where did Martin go
And who is the important guest mentioned by the assistant
Feng Yu had a lot of questions in his mind and he hadn't figured it out yet.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, the assistant politely asked, "President Feng, what do you want to talk to Mr. Feng about? Do you need me to call him and tell him you're looking for him?"
Feng Yu pulled himself out of his confusion and said with a smile, "No, I'm fine. I just remembered that Mr. Martin was in Independence Island, so I wanted to ask him out for a chat."
"Uh, I see."
Feng Yu said: "Forget it if he is busy. I will call him another day when I am free."
The assistant didn't ask any more questions and said politely, "Okay. Dean Feng, do you have anything else to say?" "No. Please hang up."
Feng Yu waited until the other end hung up the phone. He walked to the entrance of Shanhai Pavilion and called Shi Fu again to tell him that Martin did not see Ji Zinyin today.
After he finished the call, he thought about it and decided to send a message to his subordinates to check it out.
Martin always keeps his word and seldom lets people down.
Gu Hengbo must have made an appointment with someone before bringing Ji Zinyin to Shanhai Pavilion to wait, but Martin stood Gu Hengbo up.
Feng Yu also wanted to know who the "important guest" that his personal assistant mentioned was.
*
Shanhai Pavilion, inside the Shan box.
Ji Zinyin was still anxiously waiting for Martin's arrival.
In the middle of the journey, Gu Hengbo took a phone call.
The call lasted for five minutes.
He just came back in from outside.
Ji Ziyin looked at the time and raised her head to the person who came in and said respectfully, "Teacher, did Mr. Martin encounter any problems on the way? Why hasn't he come yet?"
She had been waiting from seven o'clock in the evening until now, half past eight, almost nine o'clock, a full hour and a half. It was a little long, no wonder Ji Zinyin was getting impatient.
Gu Hengbo had been sitting in his seat calmly waiting for someone tonight. At this moment, his straight face did not look good. He walked over, pulled the chair away and said, "…We don't have to wait anymore. He's not coming."
