Chapter 571: The Status Has Changed!

Inside the Yunhe Villa.

Shen Fei had no idea that within such a short time, he had already made an enemy of Xie Mingjun, who had come from Kyoto.

No, perhaps more accurately, from the moment Xie Mingjun found out that Hu Feier personally went to the airport to pick up Shen Fei, and even went with him to the exclusive Z.G.C restaurant, he had already developed a grudge against him.

Looking at it from any angle, the situation seems a bit ridiculous.

However, when it comes to Xie Mingjun, a madman with unstable emotions and erratic thoughts, a foolish, unwise man who acts on impulse without considering the consequences, things suddenly start to make sense.

After the family of three finished their meal, Shen Fei handed Shen Jiayue over to Xu Nana to take care of.

Meanwhile, he and Han Xinyan, under the protection of Yuan Song and the others, went for a walk by the river near their home.

Due to the recent events, Shen Fei’s photos had frequently appeared online.

As soon as Shen Fei and Han Xinyan appeared, they were immediately recognized by many passersby.

Many people even approached them for photos.

At Shen Fei’s request, Yuan Song and the others did not stop them.

Not only did Shen Fei take photos with the crowd, but he also actively lightened the atmosphere, making it harmonious and filled with laughter.

He didn’t show any airs of a wealthy person and received praise from many.

After chatting and laughing along the way, the two of them reluctantly returned home two hours later.

A peaceful night with no dreams.

The next morning, Shen Fei was startled awake by the sudden ringing of his phone.

Half-opening his eyes, he glanced at the caller ID.

It was Old Master Jiang calling.

It had been a long time since they had been in contact, and it was early in the morning—why would Old Master Jiang suddenly call him?

“Good morning, Old Master! Long time no see!” Shen Fei greeted playfully.

“Shen kid, are you still asleep?” came Old Master Jiang’s steady and mature voice from the other end.

“Well, isn’t it what young people need, a good sleep? Plus, I don’t have anything to do right now, so I’m just a闲人 (idle person)! No work, so it’s better to have a good sleep, don’t you think?” Shen Fei responded with a grin.

Although he said that, Shen Fei didn’t continue to lie down and quickly got up.

After all, if Old Master Jiang called so early, it must be for something important, not just a casual check-in.

“You do have a point! But you’re the only one like that. Someone as young and successful as you, able to sleep so well, I’m really seeing you as a special case. Just look at Qian Kun Group’s money bags—every time he comes to visit me, he complains about how busy he is! You’re really unique, haha!”

Upon hearing Shen Fei’s response, Old Master Jiang laughed heartily.

After a brief pause, without waiting for Shen Fei to speak again, he continued,

“That said, I haven’t seen you in a long time! I wonder if you’re free today? Also, I’ve already sent your Uncle Jiang to our city’s most famous dim sum restaurant to pick up some food, waiting for you to come! If you don’t come, I’ll have to eat it all by myself…”

Realizing what Old Master Jiang was hinting at, Shen Fei quickly responded with a smile,

“Old Master, since you’ve said it like that, how could I not come? Besides, you hold a very high place in my heart, and since you’ve personally invited me to your place today, I have no choice but to oblige! I haven’t had breakfast yet, and with dim sum waiting, I must come and eat!”

“Ha, so you’re only coming for the dim sum, huh?”

Old Master Jiang teased, then pretended to be impatient and said,

“Alright, enough talk, hurry up and get over here!”

Without giving Shen Fei any chance to respond, Old Master Jiang hung up the phone.

As Shen Fei heard the beeping sound in the receiver, he became very alert.

Looking at Old Master Jiang’s actions, he realized that this visit might not just be about the meal!

However, he had no clear clues, so he shrugged and decided not to waste time guessing Old Master Jiang’s intentions.

After getting up, Shen Fei went straight to the bathroom.

Meanwhile.

As Old Master Jiang hung up the phone, Jiang Shengcai, holding several bags of packaged boxes, appeared before him.

“Dad, is Mr. Shen free today?” Jiang Shengcai asked directly.

Facing Jiang Shengcai’s question, Old Master Jiang felt like giving him a slap.

This idiot had no understanding of manners!

Calling Shen Fei “Mr. Shen” would clearly make the Jiang family and Shen Fei seem distant from each other!

If Jiang Shengcai wasn’t his son, he would have already angrily thrown him out of the Jiang family estate!

“Do you think so?” Old Master Jiang shot him a look and retorted.

“Dad, aren’t you asking a pointless question? How would I know? Just based on the lawsuits between Longguang Media and Tengke, the news that Shen Fei has backing from big leaders in Kyoto seems somewhat credible, especially after Tengke’s legal department lost the case, which proves Shen Fei is no simple man. Just from this, my position compared to Mr. Shen’s has already changed, so how could I dare to make any assumptions?” Jiang Shengcai lowered his head and said softly.

After receiving this reprimand, Jiang Shengcai could only lower his head and mutter, “Well, I see.”

“So, according to you, since Shen Fei has support from big leaders, I shouldn’t try to invite him, right?” Old Master Jiang scolded.

“Isn’t that normal? Our status with him is no longer on the same level!” Jiang Shengcai responded directly.

Hearing this, Old Master Jiang sighed.

“You fool! Don’t blame me for putting you down, despite your age, you still don’t understand human nature, even your son is smarter than you! You need to broaden your horizons, understand? Your narrow mindset is why you haven’t made any progress in business all these years! It’s laughable!”

“Dad! I’m your own son! You’re saying I’m not as good as Shen Fei, fine, but Tian Cheng, that kid, can he really compare to me?” Jiang Shengcai retorted, clearly unhappy.

“What are you getting upset for! I’m speaking the truth!”

After a pause, Old Master Jiang sighed deeply.

“Don’t mention it, Shen Fei would never think like that! If he truly felt that he had powerful backing and didn’t want to associate with us, then I must have misjudged him! He doesn’t care about status. If he truly did, after knowing who I am, he would have tried to flatter me just like your former secretary did.”

“See, Shengcai, don’t blame me for saying this, but your vision is too narrow! Look at how Shen Fei rapidly developed his own business. His vision is undoubtedly broad, and he wouldn’t look down on others just because someone’s backing him. You’re reading him wrong, thinking he’s petty!”

Realizing his mistake, Jiang Shengcai lowered his head, embarrassed, and said,

“Dad, you’re right. I see now, my perspective was too narrow.”

“Alright! One more thing—when Shen Fei comes over later, don’t keep calling him Mr. Shen! That will just create a distance between the two families.”

After saying this, Old Master Jiang sighed again, making Jiang Shengcai feel even more awkward.

After their conversation, not long after, Shen Fei arrived at the Jiang family estate.

Seeing no one in the yard, he went straight into the house.

“Old Master!” Shen Fei called out.

“Ah, little Shen, you’re here! Come, come, you must be hungry! I’ve kept the dim sum warm for you!”

Upon seeing Shen Fei, Old Master Jiang greeted him warmly.

“Haha, Old Master, you’re so thoughtful! I really am hungry!”

Without hesitation, Shen Fei sat down and began to eat heartily.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 572: Going Through the Back Door?

Looking at Shen Fei, Jiang Anbang smiled kindly. He took a sip of tea and said leisurely,

“Alright, Shen kid, still the same as always! For you to come here today, it’s an honor for this old man! Hahaha, I’m truly pleased!”

“Old man, you’re being too modest! Even if I, Shen Fei, become the richest person in China or even the world in the future, you, Jiang old man, will always be the person I respect the most! As long as you call me, if I can come, I will never refuse! You may think I’m flattering you, but old man, the place you and Tiancheng hold in my heart is truly important!”

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Shen Fei directly stated his feelings.

His words were sincere and heartfelt.

On the side, Jiang Shengcai turned a little green with envy because Shen Fei had mentioned Jiang Anbang and Jiang Tiancheng, but had not mentioned him at all.

So he put on a sour expression, looked at Shen Fei, and said with a touch of jealousy,

“Little Shen, what about me?”

“Uncle Jiang, you’re just as important!”

After a pause, Shen Fei sincerely continued,

“Speaking of which, I must thank Uncle Jiang! The construction of the factory area—I’ve been busy recently and haven’t been able to visit much. But my wife, Han Xinyan, went there recently and said the construction speed is very fast. It looks like it will be completed in about half a month to a month! This is much earlier than our original agreement, and I know this is all thanks to you, Uncle Jiang. You’ve put in a lot of effort on this, and for that, I really have to thank you!”

“Little Shen, it’s nothing! I know how important this factory is to you. If it can be completed earlier, your company’s production will increase, and the money will pour in, haha! Don’t look at me, sometimes I may not know what’s urgent or not, but I have a sense of what needs to be done. Moreover, Little Shen, you’ve already given me so much money, I have to speed things up!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Anbang quickly waved his hand, extremely modest.

“I understand what you mean, Uncle Jiang, but the money we gave before should be almost used up by now, right? Moreover, since you’re rushing the project, I’m sure the workers are working day and night to meet the deadline, so while emotions are one thing, I think we should still clarify how much more I need to pay!” Shen Fei said.

“Little Shen, talking about money is so vulgar! Our relationship shouldn’t be measured by money! Besides, if it weren’t for you, where would Jiang family be today?” Jiang Shengcai said.

“Uncle Jiang, this is totally different! There’s a saying that even brothers should settle accounts clearly, right? Besides, you’ve probably still got a lot of compensation to pay for that incident, right?” Shen Fei smiled and said.

“I…”

Jiang Shengcai wanted to continue, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Jiang Anbang.

“Enough with this ‘you’ and ‘me’! Since Little Shen said it this way, just give a number! With his current achievements, can a few million settle the debt of gratitude?”

“Well… alright, let’s not drag this out. The factory construction is expected to cost more than a hundred million. Since that’s the case, Little Shen, just give thirty to forty million for now!” Jiang Shengcai scratched his head awkwardly.

“Alright, I’ll directly transfer another fifty million to you, Uncle Jiang! Any excess, you can adjust!” Shen Fei said.

“Well… then I won’t say more!” Jiang Shengcai could only smile awkwardly.

“Speaking of the factory construction, Uncle Jiang, there’s something else!”

Shen Fei paused and continued,

“After the factory is completed, I would like to reach a long-term cooperation agreement with you. You should know that I own Xinyue Real Estate, and we’ve already secured the rights to redevelop Luohu Mountain. So once the Yuxin factory is done, you can bring your team over and get to work on the Luohu Mountain project! You can sign the contract directly with Xinyue Real Estate then! In the future, not just Luohu Mountain, but all of our other projects will be handed over to your team!”

After hearing this, Jiang Shengcai was completely stunned.

But after he came to his senses, he was filled with deep emotion.

Since he started his own business, Jiang Shengcai’s Shengxing Real Estate had only been able to make a name for itself in the real estate industry and secure many construction projects because of Jiang Anbang’s reputation.

He understood all of this.

He also knew his own position, and if it weren’t for his father, how could he have achieved any success?

But he couldn’t escape this reality, because he had to survive.

So now, hearing Shen Fei’s words, he was overwhelmed with excitement and emotion.

This was a huge recognition for him and a confirmation of the work he had done.

Moreover, the Luohu Mountain project under Xinyue Real Estate was one of the most coveted projects in Shenzhen.

Everyone knew that Shen Fei, the controversial figure in front of them, was one of the founders of Xinyue Real Estate. The redevelopment of Luohu Mountain into high-end villas had caused a nationwide stir. Under Shen Fei’s management, the future development of Xinyue Real Estate was promising.

So Jiang Shengcai had been paying close attention to Xinyue Real Estate’s moves and had been hoping to secure the Luohu Mountain project. However, he never expected Shen Fei to voluntarily offer the project to him.

He had previously asked Jiang Tiancheng about it, but Jiang Tiancheng only gave him a cold look and told him to forget about it.

After all, Jiang Tiancheng believed that if Shen Fei wanted to cooperate with Shengxing Real Estate, he would come to them directly. If not, no matter how hard Jiang Shengcai tried, the project would never fall into his hands.

Going through the back door?

No! Even if it’s his own father, it wouldn’t work!

After hearing Jiang Tiancheng’s words, Jiang Shengcai gave up on the idea. Since then, he had never mentioned it again.

But now, he truly never expected Shen Fei to offer him such a great opportunity. He was overwhelmed with gratitude and shock, and he asked again,

“Little Shen, is this for real?”

It wasn’t surprising that he asked again. This was just too good to be true!

If Shengxing Real Estate could really cooperate with Xinyue Real Estate, the status of Shengxing Real Estate in Shenzhen would rise significantly, and he wouldn’t have to run around for business for a long time to come.

“Uncle Jiang, I’m not joking with you! We’re family, so of course this project should go to you, right? Besides, I trust you, Uncle Jiang. You won’t disappoint me!” Shen Fei smiled lightly.

Hearing this, Jiang Shengcai almost burst into tears from the emotion.

This scene didn’t escape Jiang Anbang’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but feel deeply pleased.

—————- END —————-

Chapter 573: Old Man, Don’t Get Too Angry!

“Shengcai, why aren’t you thanking Xiao Shen yet? It’s truly your luck to be able to know Xiao Shen!”

Seeing that Jiang Shengcai was stunned, Jiang Anbang quickly stepped in to help.

“Old man, there’s no need! After so much time together, I understand that Uncle Jiang is just a bit slow with words but warm-hearted! He really doesn’t have any bad intentions!” Shen Fei smiled and intervened.

“Xiao Shen, you’re right! My son lacks everything, especially wit! You see, last time, if we hadn’t met you, and if you hadn’t stepped in and had him investigate his secretary, how could he have realized he was being tricked? If the shoddy construction project had caused problems, the entire Jiang family would have been finished! At that point, not just him, even I would have been implicated!”

Once again bringing up this matter, Jiang Anbang glared at Jiang Shengcai with frustration.

“Old man, don’t overstate things! I only mentioned it once! If it wasn’t for you, Uncle Jiang wouldn’t have paid attention, right? Otherwise, my reminder would have been useless!” Shen Fei rubbed his nose awkwardly.

All of this was due to Shen Fei’s rebirth.

If it wasn’t for his brief glance at the news about the old Jiang family in his previous life, he wouldn’t have remembered the Jiang family.

Had it not been for Shen Fei’s rebirth and meeting Jiang Tiancheng, and having close connections with him, he wouldn’t have taken the initiative to remind Jiang Tiancheng.

Otherwise, disregarding anything else, the Jiang family would have followed the same path as in his past life and fallen into the same trap.

“Don’t say that, besides you, the biggest contributors to this are me and Tiancheng! That guy, at first, wouldn’t believe anything you said. Luckily, we kept reminding him, or by the time the problem surfaced, it would have been too late! And in the end, the blame would probably have fallen on me! My lifetime reputation would have been ruined by this fool!”

Jiang Anbang gritted his teeth, even though the matter had passed a long time ago.

“Alright, old man, this has been a while, why keep bringing it up? Too much stress isn’t good for health, and fortunately, everything has been resolved!” Shen Fei smiled awkwardly.

“Ah, Xiao Shen, you understand! If only this guy had a third of your intelligence, I wouldn’t have to worry about him so much! These years, he’s been as useless as a rotting wood!” Jiang Anbang shook his head, his tone filled with lament.

At that moment, Jiang Shengcai, who had been the focus of the conversation, suddenly spoke up.

“Alright, Xiao Shen, I appreciate your kindness! Over these years, I’ve really been relying on the old man’s name for business. Otherwise, on my own, I wouldn’t have been able to start this company! The old man looks down on me, and I know it, even if I wanted to argue, I can’t deny that the old man speaks the truth! Sigh, as long as I can live a steady life, that’s enough for me, I don’t expect anything more!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Anbang gave him a meaningful glance and waved his hand.

“Alright, go take care of your own matters! I haven’t had a good chat with Xiao Shen in a long time! Let us have some time alone!”

With that, Jiang Anbang’s eyes showed a hint of contentment.

He didn’t expect his son to become a wealthy and powerful man, but he didn’t want him to aim too high either.

Now that Jiang Shengcai had spoken these words, it was clear that he had recognized his own mediocrity and had decided to live a good life.

After hearing the old man’s deliberate dismissal, Jiang Shengcai, who originally wanted to continue talking with Shen Fei, could only smile helplessly.

“Alright, old man, Xiao Shen, you two talk. I’ll go visit the construction site and the company to check on the plans for the Luohushan project.”

With that, Jiang Shengcai turned to leave.

However, at that moment, Jiang Anbang suddenly stopped him.

“Wait a minute!”

“Huh?” Jiang Shengcai turned back in confusion.

“The construction of the Xinyue factory is now in your hands. I won’t interfere with other things, but you must pay special attention to this project, Xiao Shen’s project! Also, what Xiao Shen said about future cooperation, take it to heart, and make sure all these projects are well-built. Pay attention to safety, and stay alert! Don’t let anything like ‘Cao Qiuyan’ happen again.” Jiang Anbang advised.

“Don’t worry, old man! I’ve got it under control! Customers are gods, and in the end, isn’t Xiao Shen just like a god now? Hahaha, right, Xiao Shen?” Jiang Shengcai laughed heartily.

“What’s with you? You’re so old, yet still saying such unreliable things.”

Jiang Anbang gave him a look of disdain.

After Jiang Shengcai left, Shen Fei hesitated and then spoke.

“Old man, I’m not saying this, but at Uncle Jiang’s age, is it really good to suppress him like this?”

“Xiao Shen, I know you’re speaking up for your Uncle Jiang, but you don’t understand him. Once he achieves a little success, he becomes complacent. Sometimes, if I don’t scold him, he really doesn’t know how to behave! As for this guy, he knows his own temper. If he were to resent me because of this, he would have already expressed his dissatisfaction!”

Jiang Anbang smiled and then said directly.

“Alright, Xiao Shen, let’s not talk about your Uncle Jiang anymore! We haven’t had a proper conversation in a long time! If I hadn’t called you this time, would you have contacted me yourself?”

“Old man, how could I forget about you? Besides, this period has been a bit special, hasn’t it? You know about the issues between my companies, Longguang Media and Tengke, right? If I had reached out to you, the public opinion would surely have affected your reputation! So, to avoid that, I didn’t contact you first!” Shen Fei quickly explained.

“Xiao Shen, I’ve lived my whole life, what am I afraid of? If you had come to me because of this, I would have helped! As for the connection between you and Tengke, I would have used any connections I have to assist!”

Pausing for a moment, Jiang Anbang continued.

“But my connections are limited to the Shenshi area. If I really had to help, I wouldn’t be of much use! But if you need me, I’ll certainly help as much as I can!”

“However, Xiao Shen, don’t worry, I have complete trust in you! I believe you will win this lawsuit!”

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei’s expression became serious, and then he smiled.

“Thank you for your trust, old man! Actually, from the moment the game was created, I knew there would be a showdown with Tengke, so I started preparing early! But as for whether we can win against Tengke’s legal department, before the results come out, I really can’t make a definitive conclusion…”

“Huh? You don’t dare to make a conclusion yourself?”

Jiang Anbang looked at Shen Fei with a meaningful glance, then spoke softly.

“Xiao Shen, from what I know about you, you never do anything without confidence! So don’t try to fool me, old man! A question that may not be appropriate—Xiao Shen, who is the big leader behind you? Of course, if you don’t want to say, I’ll pretend I didn’t ask!”

—————- END —————-

Chapter 574: You Don’t Know Either?

Upon hearing Jiang Anbang’s question, Shen Fei realized what was going on.

He didn’t intend to hide the truth from Jiang Anbang, so he replied directly:

“Old Sir, to be honest, I truly don’t know who the so-called big leader behind me is! I’ve been confused about this ever since I first heard the rumors! People think I, Shen Fei, have someone backing me, but even I’m very curious about the answer to this question!”

As soon as these words were out, Jiang Anbang widened his eyes in disbelief and stared at Shen Fei.

“You really don’t know?”

“Yes! Old Sir, I would never lie to you!” Shen Fei nodded.

Jiang Anbang fell silent, his gaze lowering. After a long pause, he finally said slowly:

“In that case, let’s not talk about this matter for now.”

“I’ve heard that Tiancheng has been asking around about the Yuan Ge base recently, trying to find out who the big person behind the Yuan Ge base is. I heard it from someone, so I asked him about it. After some persuasion, he finally admitted that he was asking about it because you were planning to start a security consulting company! So, I wanted to ask you, what do you actually think about this?”

Jiang Anbang furrowed his brows, clearly very concerned about the matter.

“Old Sir, since you asked, I’ll just be straightforward with you! The security consulting company I want to create is, to put it bluntly, the kind of company that is absolutely not allowed to exist in this country! But Old Sir, have you thought about this—my development momentum is so rapid right now, but what about in the future? I will definitely become a figure similar to the richest person, and by then, I will have companies all over the world. What position will I be in then?”

Shen Fei was very candid, replying with a counter-question.

This made Jiang Anbang take a sharp breath, greatly shocked by Shen Fei’s words.

“A figure like the richest person…”

“Companies all over the world?”

It sounded like Shen Fei was exaggerating, overly confident. But Jiang Anbang knew deep down that Shen Fei could achieve this.

However, what surprised him was that Shen Fei could speak so calmly about such matters, even though his company was still immature. It was truly beyond his expectations.

For a moment, Jiang Anbang fell silent, unsure how to respond.

Seeing this, Shen Fei smiled faintly and continued:

“Old Sir, after using scar cream, you’ll understand its effects more profoundly. Also, you know, Ji Jian was introduced to me by you, which allowed me to step into the tech field and conduct research at the Beijing Institute of Technology. Once the photolithography machine is developed, you understand what it will mean for both China and me, right? Besides, in the fields you know, such as skincare, technology, real estate, and entertainment, I’ve left my mark. In the future, who knows which fields I’ll venture into? But I definitely won’t stop at what I’ve done! So, if I wait until later to figure out how to protect myself, it will be too late! That’s why I’m thinking about it now!”

“I need to build my own influence, one that will make it impossible for anyone with ill intentions towards me and my family to succeed! This is my aspiration, and my goal for the future. Old Sir, you’ve been very good to me, so I wanted to share all my thoughts with you! I can assure you, none of this is a lie; it’s all sincere! More than anything, it’s to protect my family!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Anbang furrowed his brows and said loudly:

“Little Shen, don’t blame me for guessing, but are you planning to turn your security consulting company into a domestic Blackwater?”

“Well, how should I put it, Old Sir, it’s not exactly like that! This kind of company will absolutely not be allowed to exist in China, so my plan is just to make it the top security consulting firm within the country! But I will definitely not stop at this. If it doesn’t work in China, I’ll expand abroad and create a Blackwater-like company for China, making money from foreigners to protect the country’s interests! The target will be those top billionaires, and of course, it could also be used by the country!”

Shen Fei said this, but in reality, it was just his prepared surface response!

His true purpose was to make his security company the most feared entity in the world, a name that would make anyone think twice before crossing him.

Only then could he truly protect himself. If not, even his own safety would be at risk, let alone the future development of his company.

But could he tell Jiang Anbang this? Of course not.

If Jiang Anbang realized that Shen Fei wanted to make his security company a powerful force, he would definitely step in to stop him.

“Little Shen, I understand your ambitions, but it’s not going to be easy! Or rather, it’s simply impossible! If those people with power don’t think of this method, do they lack the money, time, and energy to build something like this? Of course they can, but would they dare? It’s not just about having money and being able to do it!” Jiang Anbang said with a helpless sigh.

“Old Sir, I understand the point you’re making, but I just want to try. You say it’s hard, and I know it’s hard, but how can I know it won’t work unless I try? Even if it doesn’t succeed in the end, I will have tried, and there won’t be any regrets!” Shen Fei said firmly.

Seeing this, Jiang Anbang looked at Shen Fei for a long while, then sighed helplessly:

“Little Shen, the reason I called you here wasn’t to discuss things like this! Especially with the security consulting company and the like, some of these things are not easily explained! But one thing I know for sure is that if you make one wrong move, everything might be lost! That’s why I wanted to warn you. Little Shen, if you really want to hear my advice, I hope you’ll give up on the idea of starting a security consulting company! I understand your concerns, but it’s not just about your family… Our country is no longer what it used to be. In the future, things will get better and better! I also know that many companies have been suppressed abroad, but once the country develops and grows, this situation will definitely change! By then, those people won’t be able to mess with us!”

“Old Sir, I believe everything you say will come true!”

Shen Fei paused, then waved his hand:

“But it’s a bit early to talk about that. Right now, it’s just a fledgling idea. It hasn’t even developed yet, and even if it does, it will just be an ordinary security company!”

While Shen Fei and Jiang Anbang were chatting, at the Youshi Technology Company.

Jiang Tiancheng was handling company affairs when suddenly an unfamiliar call came in.

When he heard who was calling, Jiang Tiancheng froze:

“Say that again, who are you?”

—————- END —————-

Chapter 575: Acquaintance with a Person?

“Huang Haiyang!” the other party said faintly.

Hearing this, Jiang Tiancheng almost dropped his phone, feeling more confused than ever.

No matter how hard he tried to think, he never imagined that Huang Haiyang would take the initiative to call him.

The Huang family, in the entire Shenzhen city, was not only a powerful presence but also one that no one dared to provoke. Even when the Huang family made a mistake, they would take the initiative to admit it.

Huang Haiyang’s grandfather had served in the military, achieving great military feats and laying the foundation for the Huang family’s glory. Even though the old man had passed away, he was still admired and respected by society.

Moreover, every descendant of the Huang family was highly capable, relying on their own abilities to become very influential figures.

The Jiang family was also powerful, but compared to the Huang family, they were still quite insignificant. Jiang Tiancheng had always understood this, which is why he never imagined that someone from the Huang family would ever contact him.

What’s more, Huang Haiyang, the third young master of the Huang family, had always had a reputation for being aloof and indifferent. Many second-generation heirs had tried to befriend him but never had any success.

“Young Master Huang, I’ve long heard of your great name!” Jiang Tiancheng awkwardly laughed.

“You should have heard of me for a long time, since anyone who can get a call from me, besides my own family, is truly unique!” the person on the other end of the line said lazily.

Jiang Tiancheng’s heart sank upon hearing this, and he quickly said with great caution, “Young Master Huang, you are praising me too much! It is an honor for me, Jiang Tiancheng, that you took the initiative to call me!”

After saying this, Jiang Tiancheng couldn’t help but inwardly despise himself.

Ugh!

He truly felt like a sycophant now!

“Alright, Jiang Tiancheng, although we’ve never interacted directly, I know that there isn’t much connection between your Jiang family and mine. You’re not that kind of person, so stop pretending to be a sycophant!” The other person sneered, sounding somewhat dismissive, but also seemingly a bit emotional.

After a pause, he teasingly said, “Aren’t you curious as to why I took the initiative to call you?”

Hearing Huang Haiyang’s words, Jiang Tiancheng was stunned. He truly had no idea.

“I heard that you’ve been asking around about the owner behind the Yuan Ge base? What exactly are your intentions? At this point, I’m not afraid to tell you—I’m that behind-the-scenes boss! You’d better explain your motives clearly, or else don’t blame me for being rude!” Huang Haiyang spoke in a calm tone, but there was an undeniable threat in his words that made Jiang Tiancheng shudder.

Even though Jiang Tiancheng had a former grandfather who was a city committee member, in front of the Huang family, it wasn’t enough.

If the Huang family really wanted to deal with the Jiang family, it would be an effortless task.

“Young Master Huang, what intention could I have? I just want you to meet someone! Believe me, this person will definitely surprise you!” Jiang Tiancheng laughed.

“Meet someone? Who? Don’t try to keep me guessing!” Huang Haiyang said in a deep voice.

“Young Master Huang, do you know Shen Fei? It’s him!” Jiang Tiancheng did not hide anything.

Even though he already knew, Huang Haiyang feigned surprise when he heard Shen Fei’s name.

“Shen Fei? That nouveau riche? The one who’s been the topic of discussion because of his lawsuit with Tengke Corporation?”

Actually, after Hu Yuantai had spoken to him about this matter, Huang Haiyang had someone investigate Shen Fei. He had only recently learned about these things.

“That’s right, Young Master Huang! He’s been wanting to meet the owner behind the Yuan Ge base to see who has such great power, which is why he asked me to investigate who the owner was! But I never expected it to be you, Young Master Huang!” Jiang Tiancheng said in surprise.

“He wants to meet me? Why would he be interested in the Yuan Ge base? Now I’m curious!” Huang Haiyang furrowed his brows, looking somewhat displeased.

“Alright, I’ll give him a chance to meet me! But he’d better have a proper reason for wanting to meet the owner of the Yuan Ge base! Otherwise, Jiang Tiancheng, you know what kind of person I am!” Huang Haiyang warned.

Noticing Huang Haiyang’s dissatisfaction, Jiang Tiancheng quickly agreed, though inwardly, he was extremely pleased.

“Then, Young Master Huang, how about tonight? At the Z.G.C restaurant in Shenzhen, 7 PM?”

“Alright.”

After that, the person on the other end hung up the phone directly.

Jiang Tiancheng truly hadn’t expected this matter to go so smoothly under his management. Now he not only knew who was behind the Yuan Ge base but also helped Shen Fei make the connection with that person.

Thinking about this, Jiang Tiancheng held his head high. It was clear that he had considerable influence in Shenzhen!

Meanwhile, in the Jiang family courtyard.

As Shen Fei and Jiang Anbang were chatting and laughing, the dim sum was almost finished.

Their conversation was nearing its end.

Just as Shen Fei was about to say his goodbyes, Jiang Anbang suddenly called out to him.

“Little Shen, I didn’t expect you to be so clear with me about the safety consultant company matter. After all, this sort of thing is usually something people keep to themselves!”

“Old Sir, what are you saying? I can’t talk to just anyone, but with you, I can! From the time I started my business till now, who’s given me the most support? That’s definitely you, Old Sir! With your help behind the scenes, the procedures have gone so smoothly! So I trust you. Besides, this matter also involves Tiancheng. Even if I didn’t say anything, Tiancheng would’ve told you eventually! So, there’s no need to hide anything!” Shen Fei said.

“Good, good boy! I really didn’t expect you to say that…” Jiang Anbang said with emotion. After a pause, he looked up at Shen Fei and sighed deeply.

“You’re really determined to try the safety consultant company and got Tiancheng to investigate the owner behind the Yuan Ge base. It seems you’ve already considered things carefully. I guess I’ve been worrying for nothing! Since that’s the case, I’ll tell you my guess about the Yuan Ge base!”

“Old Sir, please go ahead!” Shen Fei said earnestly.

“I’ve heard Tiancheng talk about the layout inside the Yuan Ge base. The fact that many second-generation heirs treat it as a stepping stone before entering the military shows that the owner behind it must be someone exceptional. Without strength, such a place wouldn’t be possible! So, in all of Shenzhen, only the Huang family could meet this condition!” Jiang Anbang said loudly.

Unbeknownst to him, when Shen Fei heard this, his brows furrowed tightly.

“The Huang family?”

In his past life, when he was successful in business and had entered high society, he had some contact with the Huang family, so hearing about them now felt somewhat familiar.

In this life, he was confident he could convince the Huang family. For no other reason, just one word: profit.

“Though, this is just a guess! If you need, I can inquire more, but don’t expect too much! Alright, I need to tend to my plants. Little Shen, you can go ahead with your own matters!” Jiang Anbang said again.

After saying this, he waved his hand and walked towards his small garden.

“Old Sir, then I’ll take my leave!”

Shen Fei smiled slightly and left.

The sky was gradually darkening.

At the Xie family study in Kyoto.

“Master, we’ve found the young master… the real young master!” The butler said excitedly.
