Jiangcheng.
Second Head of the City, Wei Chen, sat in his own teahouse, sipping tea.
Wei Changqing was kneeling on a step below, his face full of reluctance and anger.
Wei Chen blew on his tea leisurely and said, "I heard about last night’s incident. You did right by not fighting back."
With a stern face, Wei Changqing replied, "I wasn’t clear on your stance, Dad, so I could only bear it for the ti being."
Wei Chen sighed and took a sip of tea, trying to calm himself down.
However, his son Wei Changqing pressed aggressively, "Dad, can’t you do sothing about Tianfeng Company?"
Wei Chen lifted his eyelids and looked at his son, honestly admitting, "If I were the Big Housekeeper, I could do sothing! But I am not the Big Housekeeper, Dad. I’m just an aide for the Big Housekeeper to complete achievents; hence, when it cos to big taxpayers like these companies, if I insist on taking action, the Big Housekeeper will have thoughts! He could apply to have transferred away to Beijing!"
Wei Changqing said, "But Tianfeng hasn’t yet grown into a taxpayer on the scale of tens of billions, so now if you want to do sothing to Tianfeng, they don’t have the capital to openly oppose you and the Big Housekeeper!"
Wei Chen glared at his son, a sharp glint flickering in his eyes, "So, you deliberately spread the news of your humiliation around the city overnight?"
Wei Changqing shrank his neck guiltily.
Indeed, he had spread the news on purpose.
He couldn’t swallow the insult!
He hadn’t slept well all night.
Just thinking about being humiliated like this for the first ti since he was born made it impossible for him to sleep!
What ’taking a step back gives you a broader sky’—it was just more infuriating the more he thought about it!
Especially since almost everyone present last night was from the circle of second-generation wealthy and powerful in Jiangcheng.
At such an event, with people like Ye Wei humiliating him, how could he, Wei Changqing, continue to mix in these circles?
A night had passed.
None of those who used to hang around him had co to inquire about his well-being.
He knew these people might have already switched sides to Guo Yunfan and his group.
If this matter didn’t have a result, Wei Changqing didn’t plan on stepping outside!
Thus, spreading the news last night to make the whole city aware was actually to trap his father!
The son of the prominent Second Head, humiliated like this—how should Wei Chen respond?
Could Wei Chen not see through such a calculation?
That was the source of his weariness.
His son was intelligent, and he was relieved that he didn’t make a big scene initially.
But this clever fellow, in another passive way, still ended up putting his father on the grill!
Wei Chen sighed, "Changqing, the reason why Ye Wei and the others humiliated you so fearlessly was never because of Tianfeng’s revenue, but because of Gu Feng himself."
Wei Changqing looked at his father in astonishnt, "Could it be that this Gu Feng really has a background?"
"Yes, but I don’t know what level it is," Wei Chen nodded. "However, I can tell from several pieces of information that the other party is not simple."
"Firstly, although the third generation from the big courtyards that Ye Wei and the others represent are nurous and powerful, if taken individually, any one of their family background levels could at most be like the Big Housekeeper. Although our family is indeed inferior, the difference lies in the different geographical managent, so there’s nothing to fear."
"But to make arrogant individuals like Ye Wei willingly follow Gu Feng is different. These people certainly love money, but deep down, if your substance is not as profound as theirs, their adoration will only be out of politeness, so it’s not hard to see that Gu Feng is soone they are afraid of!"
"If this had happened a day earlier, I, as your father, might have gone all-out against them for your sake!" Wei Chen reassured his son, "But after what happened at the Federation of Industry and Comrce yesterday, I can only apologize to you; Gu Feng is not soone we can afford to deal with or offend!"
With his father expressing such helplessness, Wei Changqing was curious, "Dad, do you already know their background?"
Wei Chen nodded slowly, "The investnt promotion conference yesterday was held in Jiangcheng by Mrs. Yu Yue from the Beijing headquarters. Among the attendees was Lin Yue from Thunder Group, and she called Mrs. Yu Yue ’auntie’."
"Investnt Federation Chairperson Yu Yue?" Wei Changqing didn’t understand these intricate connections, "Who is she?"
Wei Chen articulated slowly, "She is the vice president of one of the Dragon Nation’s four major state-owned enterprises responsible for military, real estate, cultural developnt, and other investnts."
Wei Changqing’s pupils shrank in shock!
But he heard his father continue, "Lin Yue calling Yu Yue ’auntie’ ans Gu Feng’s mother is Yu Yue’s sister. Following the ’Gu’ surna, I inquired with friends in Beijing and finally locked onto one person—that is, the Big Housekeeper also has the surna ’Gu’!"
Boom!
Wei Changqing’s body twitched as if struck by lightning.
Wei Chen looked at his son with a piercing gaze, "Don’t even think about seeking trouble or getting back your pride. Looking over the whole of Jiangcheng, even Liu Jin, Ye Wei, and half of Jiangcheng’s capital are courting Gu Feng of Tianfeng Company. One more or less from you won’t make any difference."
———
anwhile.
In the house of the Third Head of the City, the Liu Family.
Liu Jin knelt in front of his father, anxiously admitting, "Dad, I got hot-headed last night and couldn’t hold back. I joined Ye Wei and others in trashing Wei Changqing’s place. Ye Wei and his group rely on the background from Beijing, so they have no worries, but I’m afraid for our family... After all, the Wei family is a notch above you."
His father, Liu Han, took a sip of tea, nonchalantly saying, "Good, I know now. You can go."
Liu Jin was surprised, "Aren’t you afraid that Mr. Wei will bring this up during the eting?"
Liu Han laughed outright, "How much must he be willing to risk to accuse in front of the Big Housekeeper? Isn’t that the sa as accusing the Big Housekeeper himself?"
