Chapter 97: Foolish Delusions!

“Ask.”

After pausing briefly from hanging up the phone, Shen Fei said impatiently.

“Is the thing with Jiang Shengcai true?”

Jiang Tiancheng hesitated for a long time before finally asking the question that had been on his mind.

He trusted Shen Fei, but he still felt uncertain and wanted to hear more answers from him.

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei became intrigued and teased him, “Didn’t you always argue with him, hate him, and avoid him?”

“Brother Fei, please don’t laugh at me!”

Jiang Tiancheng mumbled quietly, then became serious, “I do dislike him, but if his actions implicate me and the old man, then that’s unacceptable! The Jiang family is a whole, and if one person messes up, the others can’t escape! You know, the old man has worked his whole life and his reputation is his greatest pride!”

“Whenever it involves the old man, things get blown out of proportion. I understand that, so no matter where I am, I always need to be cautious and proper, worried that one mistake could damage the old man’s reputation!”

“Brother Fei, you’ve interacted with the old man a few times, you know that his reputation means more to him than anything! If something happens, it will absolutely shock him to the point of sickness! If that happens, I will regret it for the rest of my life!”

Jiang Tiancheng’s tone was sincere, and Shen Fei couldn’t help but be moved.

It was undeniable that in the past, the old man of the Jiang family had indeed died of stress caused by certain matters.

“If your dad believes in this, then everything will be fine,” Shen Fei replied. “But if he doesn’t, then the outcome is uncertain. At best, your dad will be the only one to face consequences; at worst, the whole Jiang family could be doomed.”

Shen Fei spoke bluntly, with no attempt to soften the blow.

Hearing this, even though Jiang Tiancheng had prepared himself mentally, he still felt a lump in his throat.

“Alright, Brother Fei, I understand!” Jiang Tiancheng took a deep breath before changing the subject.

“Brother Fei, are you free tonight? You’ve done me such a big favor, I really don’t know how to repay you!”

Upon hearing this, Shen Fei chuckled lightly, “No need for repayment. Just live a good life. I have to go buy some groceries and cook, so I won’t keep talking with you!”

“Hey, when you contact Yuan Tai, let him know that the land in Li Jia Zhuang has been sold, and the price has been settled! In a few days, each of you will be able to pocket 120 million!”

Jiang Tiancheng widened his eyes in shock. “Brother Fei, you really went through with it? You really multiplied it tenfold?”

He had just been worried about Jiang Shengcai and the future of the Jiang family, but now he was stunned by this sudden news.

In just a few days, Shen Fei had managed to turn 12 million into 120 million!

Add that to the little villa and the short-selling of the Kong family group, Jiang Tiancheng now felt like everything was surreal.

“Did Qiankun Group buy it?” he asked, suspicious.

“Yes! Qian Dasheng himself said so, there’s no way it will change. But Tiancheng, you know the saying ‘make a fortune in silence’, right? These things should only be known by us,” Shen Fei instructed.

“Got it! Brother Fei, my lips are sealed!”

Jiang Tiancheng nodded eagerly, internally feeling a mix of excitement and admiration.

Recently, money had been coming in like it was free. He didn’t even want to run his own company anymore and just wanted to follow Shen Fei around.

“Alright, you’ve convinced me!”

Shen Fei chuckled as he hung up the phone, his expression calm as he drove to the market, not showing any excitement about the large sum of money he was about to make.

SOHO in Shenzhen.

By the roadside of the Qiankun Group’s office building.

Inside a reception room of a leading skincare brand’s office building.

A middle-aged man, dressed in a suit but looking exhausted with a scruffy beard, was earnestly looking at another middle-aged man sitting in a higher position.

“President Liu, your business is so big. Just trust me once! I can definitely come up with an effective scar-removal cream! When it succeeds, you will be famous!”

“Tang Xingwen, can you even count how many times you’ve said that to others? From the south of the city to the north, from the west to the east! Your reputation in the industry has gone viral, it’s been ruined! Don’t you know that yourself?”

The middle-aged man, President Liu, sneered dismissively, his eyes full of sarcasm.

He stood up, hands behind his back, and continued to mock him.

“Tang Xingwen, I just want to ask you, why are you abandoning a good job as a general manager to focus on this scar-removal cream? You know well enough that there are no effective products on the market. Even the advanced countries can’t make it, so how do we have the technology for that?”

“I think you’re dreaming! No one has figured it out in thousands of years, how could a small fry like you do it?”

“You must be daydreaming!”

After mocking Tang Xingwen for a while, President Liu seemed satisfied.

“President Liu, trust me! I will give you a good outcome!” Tang Xingwen said sincerely.

“Trust you? On what basis? My money doesn’t come from the wind! You want me to give you tens of millions and a lab just to make a product whose effectiveness is unknown?”

Pausing for a moment, President Liu sneered, “Tang Xingwen, if you want to change jobs, I can help. Our company is looking for a janitor! While I can’t offer you your previous salary, I can at least make sure you have enough to eat!”

“Goodbye, President Liu!”

Hearing the mocking tone in President Liu’s words, Tang Xingwen felt anger rising in him.

Suppressing his fury, he still chose to politely bid him farewell.

“Hmph! Take care!”

President Liu scoffed as Tang Xingwen left, and once he couldn’t see him anymore, he revealed his true attitude and muttered to himself, “A toad trying to eat swan meat, doesn’t even know his own weight!”

At the same time.

Tang Xingwen left the building with a downcast expression.

The man who had always been so confident in his own ideas was now lost and dejected.

His eyes were filled with a sense of despair.

“Damn it! Why does our country always have to look at what those advanced nations are doing first?”

“I don’t believe it! China is so big, and I can’t find anyone who believes in me?”

He looked up at the bleak sky, feeling sorrowful and uncertain.

Not long ago, he had been the general manager of a skincare company, living a rich life with a salary of a million per year and dressed in fine clothes.

But because of a fleeting thought, he gave up that comfortable life to search for a partner.

However, what he didn’t expect was that in his past life, he had to wait three years to find his patron, Shen Fei.

But now, with Shen Fei possessing memories of a prophet, how could he let Tang Xingwen fall so low for long?

Once he hit another dead end, at his most desperate moment, a new opportunity would come.

Counting the days, it wouldn’t be long.
