Chu Feng nodded and said, "It’s mostly resolved, but now there’s new trouble."
Huang Jianye asked, "What new trouble now? Tell about it. Is it internal or external this ti?"
Chu Feng said, "External. The Elite Society, their new leader, has already arrived in East River. It seems that as the importance of East River grows, the Elite Society is becoming increasingly covetous of this juicy piece. They couldn’t wait to send the newcor over."
"The enemy’s intention to destroy us never ceases!" exclaid Huang Jianye.
"These people really are relentless, so many years have passed. Those old folks have mostly died off, and yet they still cling so persistently, it seems we didn’t hurt them enough back then," He Zhen said emphatically.
Though He Zhen was a teacher, when it ca to these people and these matters, his temper flared far more than Huang Jianye’s.
Huang Jianye said, "Tis have changed, the era now is different from before. Resorting to force won’t solve all problems."
He Zhen snorted coldly and said, "I don’t need you to teach that, but if we don’t give them a profound lesson, they will never rember the pain."
Huang Jianye nodded and said, "You are right about that."
After finishing, Huang Jianye turned to Chu Feng and said, "Young friend, your handling of the last incident was excellent. You truly upheld the dignity of Huaxia, letting the Eastern people know that today’s Huaxia is still not to be insulted. Moreover, you also created an opportunity for Dragon Soul to completely eradicate the Elite Society’s arrangents in East River."
When Chu Feng heard Huang Jianye’s words, he imdiately said, "Elder Huang, please don’t praise too much. My shoulders aren’t that broad, I can’t bear such a heavy burden."
Upon hearing Chu Feng’s words, Huang Jianye laughed heartily and said, "You are quite the slick one, but this burden must indeed be placed on you. You may act as necessary in East River, and if the Elite Society causes any trouble, I will hold you accountable."
Chu Feng, making a bitter face, said, "Elder Huang, can’t we stop conscripting like this? It’s a new society now, after so many years of reform and opening up."
Huang Jianye assertively said, "In your case, none of that applies, just let the capable take on more work."
He Zhen, discontentedly, said, "What do you an ’let the capable take on more work’? Should the capable just suffer because they can? And your notion of ’acting as necessary’ is just like saying nothing. What does ’acting as necessary’ even an? There’s no specific scope; anything you officials say can be overstepping."
Huang Jianye pondered for a mont and said, "As long as the Elite Society dares to stir up trouble, whatever you do will count as ’acting as necessary.’ If any problems arise, I’ll cover for you."
Chu Feng and He Zhen were waiting for these words. Although Chu Feng was now part of Dragon Soul, that didn’t an Dragon Soul could do anything; there were many things that even Dragon Soul couldn’t do. But with Huang Jianye’s words, the shackles on Chu Feng were much lighter.
Chu Feng said, "Well, Elder Huang, the Elite Society is planning to challenge us in the cultural industry this ti. As you know, I own an entertainnt company; how about exempting my taxes? That would decrease the pressure on my business, making it easier to compete with them."
Huang Jianye glared and said, "You rascal, paying taxes to the nation is an honor. They need to pay taxes too."
Chu Feng said, "Elder Huang, they do need to pay taxes, but they have tax benefits. My local business gets none of that. Maybe I should change my nationality."
"You dare!" He Zhen and Huang Jianye said in unison.
Chu Feng shrank back and said, "Don’t get worked up, I’m just complaining. I wouldn’t actually do sothing like changing my nationality."
Huang Jianye said, "The problem you ntioned does exist. I will bring it up with the authorities, pay attention to the Elite Society’s industries; they co to our ho to cause trouble, and we still have to offer them various incentives. It really doesn’t seem right."
Chu Feng said, "That’s exactly it. Our Huaxia is now like a phoenix tree, not afraid of not attracting phoenixes. If they want to co, they can; if not, plenty of others are willing to co in."
Chu Feng and the two elders talked for a long ti until late before he returned ho.
After getting ho, Chu Feng also received a call from Zhuang Xinyan. Zhuang Xinyan briefly inford Chu Feng of the results and also ntioned the benefits the Zhuang Family and the An Family had gained this ti.
Chu Feng had already known the results, but he hadn’t expected the Zhuang Family and the An Family to gain so much.
"Now there’s only the Jin Family left, no longer a threat; at last, we can have so peaceful days," Zhuang Xinyan said.
Chu Feng advised, "You’d better not underestimate the Jin Family. The Jin Family may be, more difficult to deal with than the Wu Family."
Zhuang Xinyan asked, "How much do you know about the Jin Family?"
Chu Feng responded, "I don’t know as much as you, but my brother’s death had so connection to the Jin Family."
Zhuang Xinyan, smart as she was, imdiately understood and said, "Are you saying that the sudden strategic rise of the Jin Family is related to your brother?"
Chu Feng confird, "Yes. The technology acquired by the Jin Family was originally supposed to belong to my brother."
Zhuang Xinyan asked, "If you can take it back, would you cooperate with our Zhuang Family?"
Chu Feng said, "It’s too early to talk about that. Let’s discuss it once it’s retrieved."
Zhuang Xinyan was no fool; on the contrary, she was very intelligent. She understood the imnse value of what the Jin Family now controlled and the trendous profits that could be reaped once it was in their hands.
After chatting a bit more, Chu Feng ended the call.
However, just as Chu Feng was about to sleep, Cui Jingyan’s call ca through.
"We’ve already booked the tickets and will head back tomorrow morning," Cui Jingyan said on the phone.
Chu Feng was surprised and said, "Why so soon?"
Cui Jingyan said, "I just received news that several of our company’s key middle managers were poached by an Eastern company. I need to rush back imdiately to take control of the situation."
Upon hearing Cui Jingyan’s words, Chu Feng frowned and said, "That was quick."
"Do you know who did it?" Cui Jingyan asked.
Chu Feng said, "We just t earlier tonight, and the East River issues were resolved. If you want to co back, then co back."
Cui Jingyan said, "Okay, we need to hurry to the airport, so I’ll stop talking now."
Chu Feng said, "Be careful on the road, let Ma Hong escort you. I will co to pick you up at the airport."
Cui Jingyan said, "Okay!"
Chu Feng had almost no control over the company, so with a few middle managent leaving, there was nothing he could do but wait for Cui Jingyan to return and handle it.
"Faster than I anticipated, completely catching off guard," Chu Feng said after hanging up the phone, looking outside.
