Chapter 973: Chapter 972: Outstanding Among n
Although Tuo Shi takes pride in being superior, they are ultimately just people. As the saying goes, people need iron and rice for strength, and if they don’t eat, they’ll feel famished. Since they need to eat, they naturally need money, but when it cos to wealth, who can compare with the Shangguan Family?
If Su Changfeng holds sway over the richest family in the world, even in Tuo Shi, he would hold a high status.
"Chang Feng, I think your grandfather’s advice makes a lot of sense. If you can make the Shangguan Family work for you, it can help you even if you join Tuo Shi. You shouldn’t underestimate this matter," Huo Tian kindly advised.
"When did I ever beco indifferent to the Shangguan Family? If their gold and treasures claim first place, who dares to say second? Even if we hand over all our family’s money, it wouldn’t catch their eye. Why would I be indifferent?" Su Changfeng chuckled.
"Then why have you been laughing all along?"
"Then why have you been laughing all along?"
Ye Qingtian and Huo Tian almost asked Su Changfeng in unison. They couldn’t quite understand why Su Changfeng had been laughing. After all, to them, Su Changfeng’s laughter seed to convey disdain for the Shangguan Family.
"What I just told you was rely Shangguan Sichen’s previous request. Yet at that ti, without even considering, I outright rejected it, leaving him with no choice but to change his mind." Su Changfeng said with a smile.
"So what did Shangguan Sichen say after that?" Ye Qingtian asked impulsively.
Su Changfeng noticed the curious gaze from his grandfather and deliberately paused for a mont before he spoke: "A few days ago, Shangguan Sichen conveyed through soone that he hoped I could take his place and beco the head of the Shangguan Family. The crucial part is, I wouldn’t even need to change my surna to Shangguan. If I’m in a bad mood, I might even make everyone in the Shangguan Family change their surna to Ye, just like mine."
Upon hearing Su Changfeng speak, Ye Qingtian and Huo Tian exchanged glances, feeling as if they had just heard sothing unimaginable, even wondering if their old age was causing illusions.
Making everyone in the Shangguan Family share the sa surna as Su Changfeng, essentially changing Shangguan to Ye.
If others heard Su Changfeng’s words, they’d likely point at him and laugh uncontrollably.
The Shangguan Family is a family of unparalleled wealth, and Shangguan Sichen is a man of his word. How could such a hero possibly decide to change the family surna under his watch?
Yet it was Su Changfeng who told them this, and he had no reason to trick them with such a tale.
Seeing his two grandfathers’ astonished look, Su Changfeng bead even wider and said: "Grandpa, this is the first ti I’ve seen you like this."
Upon hearing Su Changfeng’s words, Ye Qingtian and Huo Tian hurriedly tidied up their deanor.
"Chang Feng, you aren’t pulling our leg, right? Did Shangguan Sichen really say that?" Ye Qingtian sought confirmation from Su Changfeng again, fearing he had misheard. No matter how one puts it, he’s a regional powerhouse, yet the gap between him and Shangguan Sichen is substantial, one might say it’s like heaven and earth. He couldn’t understand how soone like Shangguan Sichen would make such a decision to change the family surna.
"Indeed, Chang Feng, you’re not using this matter to tease us old folks, right?" Huo Tian chid in.
"Grandpas, when have I ever dared to do such a thing? Plus, do I seem like I’m joking? Shangguan Sichen genuinely had his driver convey this to . He also ntioned knowing I have many responsibilities, so I might not have ti to visit the Shangguan Family. If I do have ti, he’s willing to co find . If you both doubt my words, I could notify Shangguan Sichen right now and have him co to Jiang City. We could use Sunian as an excuse to invite him, and everyone could have a celebration together." Su Changfeng said with a smile.
Ye Qingtian was so moved that his old eyes brimd with tears. He stepped forward and patted Su Changfeng on the head, saying: "You rascal truly are impressive. With you around, it’s as if our Ye Family ancestors would have been proud in the heavens. Chang Feng, with your current achievents, you have surpassed what Grandpa could accomplish. Your future achievents will surely leave Grandpa far behind; I believe you’ll lead our Ye Family to develop in a better direction."
"Chang Feng, if Shangguan Feihong were still alive to see your accomplishnts, he’d surely recognize a true talent amongst people, a leader among leaders," Huo Tian praised.
Su Changfeng knew within himself that the words "leader among leaders" had indeed altered Shangguan Feihong’s previous view of him. But now that Shangguan Feihong was no longer alive, to Su Changfeng, such accolades didn’t matter. His desire to grow stronger stemd from wanting more ability to protect those he cared for, to protect Shen Hanxue and Sunian.
"Chang Feng," Shen Hanxue erged from her room and found Su Changfeng, saying to him: "Just now, the guard at the door reported that soone unknown has been kneeling outside our villa’s entrance, claiming they need to see you, refusing to leave despite all efforts. Do you want to check what’s going on?"
Just earlier, as Shen Hanxue was in her room, the guards had reported an individual persistently kneeling outside, refusing to leave despite all attempts, and currently blocking the entrance, making vehicle access troubleso. Thus, they wanted Su Changfeng to investigate, prompting Shen Hanxue to search for him in the backyard.
"I suspect the security at the gate has been bribed by them." Su Changfeng spoke indifferently. The security at their ho was the highest-ranking in safety for Jiang City, with a substantial number. If soone were truly blocking the gate, they would definitely find ways to remove the perpetrators, for failing at such a minor task would make Su Changfeng doubt their competence, possibly leading to termination of their employnt contract. The most probable scenario now was the gate security having accepted money to convey this ssage to him.
"Ah? Is that really the case? So, Chang Feng, are you still going to check it out?" Shen Hanxue asked, a bit surprised.
"Of course, I need to check it out. After all, there’s a show, how could I miss it? Besides, I’d like to see what kind of person dares to block our family’s entrance." Su Changfeng said to Shen Hanxue with a grin.
The naive boy and his father acted out of sheer desperation; with them kneeling like this, Su Changfeng might never know how they died, let alone et them. Hence, they spent a considerable amount to bribe the security at the entrance.
