"Ji Feng, are you pretending to be ignorant?" Looking at the puzzled Ji Feng, Zheng Yuanshan could not help but chuckle. He had experienced Ji Feng's cleverness before, and now that he had explained it so clearly, how could Ji Feng not know what was going on?
"Uncle Zheng, I really don't understand. I'm not pretending!" Ji Feng threw up his hands, "Before I came here, I didn't know that you had already been promoted. This matter happened too suddenly."
In reality, Ji Feng had been thinking about the Haotai Hotel. Even though he suddenly found out about Zheng Yuanshan's promotion, he was still surprised, but he didn't have the time to think about it.
If he really had to do something, it would be Ji Feng reporting about his relations.h.i.+p with Zheng Yuanshan and Zheng Yuanshan's previous actions in great detail to Second Uncle.
However, at that time, the Second Uncle only said, "I got it." When Ji Feng saw that his second uncle did not oppose his actions, he did not take it seriously and soon threw this matter to the back of his mind.
The allocation and utilization of a proper official had nothing to do with Ji Feng. Was there a need to thank him?
Naturally, Ji Feng was not anxious. He nodded his head, picked up the teacup on his plate, and slowly savored the tea. Although tasting tea wasn't his hobby, with his calm personality, he could bear it. No matter how long the taste was, he wouldn't be impatient in the slightest.
"Actually, I said it was all thanks to you. This is the truth." After savoring the tea for a while, Zheng Yuanshan finally opened his mouth and said with a smile, "Do you remember what I said earlier? The Zheng Family mentioned me."
"That's right!"
Ji Feng nodded.
"This is it."
Ji Feng nodded thoughtfully.
Indeed, based on the relations.h.i.+p between Zheng Yuanshan and the Zheng Family, although it wasn't to the point of being incompatible, the relations.h.i.+p between the two families was absolutely not that harmonious.
Especially since the last one or two years, the Zheng Family had first beaten Zheng Yuanshan's son, then Zheng Yuanshan had added fuel to the fire, causing the Zheng Family's disciples to receive a lesson in Jiangzhou.
Just think about it. In this situation, how good would Zheng Yuanshan's relations.h.i.+p with the Zheng Family be?
However, what did this have to do with him?
Could it be that the Zheng Family mentioned Zheng Yuanshan because they wanted to give him face?
"This is mainly because of the call I made to Zheng Yuanhe last time!" Zheng Yuanshan had solved the mystery behind it with a single sentence.
"That's right!"
Zheng Yuanshan nodded and said with a face full of smiles, "How is it? I said this was all thanks to your blessings. You should admit it, right?"
So it was like this!
They had been fighting for a long time because the Zheng Family thought that they had gotten concrete evidence after capturing the two a.s.sa.s.sins. So they were taking the initiative to show their goodwill?
"The Zheng Family is smart!" Ji Feng smiled in ridicule.
No matter what, Zheng Yuanshan was still surnamed Zheng. No matter how unpleasant his relations.h.i.+p with the Zheng Family was, it was still better than having any other Ji Deity get this position. In any case, Zheng Yuanshan was still a person of the Ji Clan, so this proposal not only gave face to the Ji Clan, but also sold it to Zheng Yuanshan.
Zheng Yuanshan also chuckled but did not reply. Of course, he understood the mystery behind this, but Ji Feng had clearly said it and he didn't know what to say.
At this time, everything Zheng Yuanshan said was unnecessary. He could only thank Ji Feng for what he said.
"In other words …" Ji Feng paused before continuing. "Does the Zheng Family want to use a provincial hall as the head to write off the a.s.sa.s.sins?"
If that was the case, then it was really …
Give Ji a position as the head of the provincial hall of Guangdong province to appease the Ji family's anger over Ji Feng being a.s.sa.s.sinated?
Could such a position be exchanged for a chance to a.s.sa.s.sinate Ji Feng?
This was the position of the country's administrative system. The Zheng family was just one of them. Using this to exchange for Ji Feng's a.s.sa.s.sination was like the Zheng family using the country's money to pay for themselves … Ji Feng felt that this was nonsense no matter how he thought about it.
Ridiculous!
The Zheng Family wanted to let it go just like that?
No way!
Seeing the mocking expression on Ji Feng's face, Zheng Yuanshan could not help but laugh, "Of course it's not that simple!"
"Hmm?"
Zheng Yuanshan laughed, "Before this, Secretary Zhenguo also talked to me. He wanted me to win the position of head of the Southern Guangdong Province. Zheng Yuanhe's proposed to me at the meeting, but in fact, it was only to push the boat with the current situation. For the time being, I'll sell some favors. My a.s.signment this time is actually just an appetizer!"
Second Uncle also wanted Zheng Yuanshan to hold the post of the Head of Department in the Southern Guangdong Province, so during the meeting, even if Zheng Yuanhe didn't mention it, there would definitely be people from the Ji division who would recommend Zheng Yuanshan.
Therefore, Zheng Yuanhe's suggestion was just to make things more beautiful. By doing so, he was trying to show his goodwill to the Ji Clan.
By doing so, Zheng Yuanhe should be telling the Ji Clan, "We made a mistake before. Now we are very sincere in resolving this matter. Let us first express our sincerity …"
Of course, the Zheng Family also wanted face. They wouldn't say it so bluntly, but that was the gist of it.
"Does that mean the Zheng Family will take action again?" Ji Feng frowned as he asked.
"This is for sure!"
Zheng Yuanshan couldn't help but chuckle. "Ji Feng, don't underestimate yourself. If the Zheng Family really dares to take your a.s.sa.s.sination lightly, and if they dare to do so, heh, then the big show will probably happen next!"
What a joke!
Who was Ji Feng?
However, countless facts have proven that Ji Feng not only had an outstanding brain, but his methods were also brilliant and ruthless. It was likely that those experienced officials were no match for him!
Not to mention the fact that Ji Feng had a Soaring Cloud Conglomerate with unlimited potential in his hands. There were also a few new products and medicine, and his relations.h.i.+p with the disciples of the Xiang and He Families was even better … With this combination, Ji Feng also had an ace up his sleeve!
Didn't you see? Ji Feng did not rely on his family to force Wu Zhihe to his death just by relying on his own strength. Even Wu Zhizhong could only grit his teeth and blame this on Wu Zhizi, who was already dead.
With all these factors combined together, unless the Zheng Family truly wanted to start a war and didn't hesitate to pay the price of the Zheng Family's decline to attack Ji Feng, this might cause Ji Feng some trouble. Otherwise, the Zheng Family would have to bow their heads and give in!
If Ji Feng really had the evidence of Zheng family hiring killers, then at that time, not only the Zheng family, even the Wu family would have to pay a huge price to protect the Zheng family.
Unless the Zheng Family's old man and Zheng Yuanhe's brains were broken, otherwise, they wouldn't have done such a stupid thing.
If they couldn't start a war, then the only way out was to apologize!
However, there was a particular way to make this apology happen. After all, they were a Wealthy Cla.s.s family. They couldn't be like the small citizens on the streets, bowing and apologizing.
Gifting was also a matter of standard, so Zheng Yuanshan could not figure out what the Zheng Family would do next. Perhaps they would give up a lot of important spots like this one and give them to the Ji Family, or maybe something else …
However, one thing was certain — they would definitely pay for this gift! They would definitely apologize!
