Even though they were going to eat dinner together at the old man's house, just as they were about to get off work, Ji Zhenhua suddenly called again, telling Xiao Sumei and the others to go over to the old man's place first while he himself had to finish his work before going over.

Xiao Sumei seemed to have gotten used to her husband's busy schedule. She merely reminded Ji Zhenhua to be careful and to hurry over as soon as possible before she took Ji Feng and company to the old man's side.

Ji Feng and Ji Shaorei drove a car, while Xiao Sumei and the other two got into another unremarkable Volkswagen.

Actually, if he thought about it carefully, there was nothing strange about it. With his father's status, it would be strange if there were no guards at home.

Otherwise, if some blind thief suddenly broke into the house and hurt his mother, it would be a huge joke. The entire upper echelon would lose all face. Thus, in terms of safety, Ji Feng had no need to worry.

For example, Zhang Yun'e, who had barged in this morning, had Ji Feng on guard. This kind of thing could happen the first time, but it might happen the second time, so he had to destroy this slim figure. Whoever dared to cause trouble, he would break their legs and throw them out.

Helpless, Ji Feng followed Ji Shalei's instructions and circled around to the outer ring. Only then did the traffic improve a bit.

"The traffic in Beijing is really …" Even with Ji Feng's skill, when he drove the car to the outer ring, he couldn't help but sweat. The cars on the road were too fierce, the cars just moved forward a little and the cars behind immediately followed.

Ji Shaorei laughed, "There is nothing we can do. There are too many cars in Yan Jing and they are all concentrated in the inner ring and the city. There are basically no cars in the outer ring. This is mainly because of the uneven distribution of urban areas and the fact that the cities have not yet been fully spread out. "

Speaking of this, it was tantamount to talking about Ji Shalei's previous line of work. His Jian An Group was a group that specialized in construction, so their understanding of this aspect was naturally much deeper than Ji Feng's.

"I say, second brother, what level is that Jian An Group of yours at?" Ji Feng curiously asked.

He only knew that the Jian An Group was a state-owned enterprise and that his second brother's level did not seem to be low. However, he was not too clear on the exact level.

Ji Feng was speechless.

Second Brother was only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, and he was already at the first rank. As for those local leaders, unless they had strong backgrounds, which one of them couldn't be in their forties?

Seemingly seeing Ji Feng's lamentation, Ji Shaolei said, "San'er, don't think that my level is that great. In reality, I'm only in charge of this corporation. Compared to the true level of those units, I have almost no real power."

Ji Feng drove the car very fast. As the two chatted, half an hour had already pa.s.sed and the old man's courtyard could already be seen in the distance.

"Di —"

At this moment, Ji Shalei's phone suddenly rang. He took it out and took a look. He couldn't help but say, "It's my uncle."

"It should be related to the dinner!" Ji Feng smiled.

On the phone, the youngest uncle said something in a low voice. Ji Feng was only focused on driving and didn't pay attention to what was being said. However, he noticed that after Ji Shalei hung up the phone, his face appeared somewhat gloomy and his eyebrows were knitted together slightly.

"Is there a problem?" Ji Feng asked.

Ji Shaorei grunted twice before curling his lips, "There's a problem, and it's not a small problem at all!"

"Tell me about it!" Ji Feng said with a smile.

"Uncle has already arrived at the old man's place. Grandpa and a few other uncles and cousins have also gone. A few people went down there as well." A sneer appeared on Ji Shaorei's face as he said, "San-er, Little Uncle called and told us to be careful when going over there. Don't be impulsive."

"Oh?!" Ji Feng raised his eyebrows, "Are they here to cause trouble?"

Ji Shaorei threw up his hands. "Who knows? They didn't come just for a meal anyway, right? Since Uncle has also called, there must be some trouble! "

"That sounds uplifting!" Ji Shalei instantly burst into laughter.

Going to his grandfather's house to eat, and having to pay attention to this and that, was indeed a bit depressing. Ji Feng's nonchalant att.i.tude was indeed very much to Ji Shalei's taste.

"Second Brother, what Little Uncle said is right. If we go, we must pay attention to our limits." Ji Feng grinned, "After all, he's a guest. As the host, we have to treat him with care."

Ji Shalei stared blankly for a moment before he gave a big smile and gave a thumbs up, "If you say those words in front of them, I'm afraid that they will immediately blow up."

Those from the other side were already interested in the Patriarch's position. Ji Feng's words had placed them among the guests. It would be strange if those people could accept it!

Old Man Ji was his and Ji Feng's grandfather, but not those people's grandfather. Those people who came to the old man's house were originally guests, and in terms of emotions, Ji Feng's words were completely reasonable!

Ji Shaorei couldn't help but say, "San-er, I am now certain that those people are no match for you. In the past, they had dared to fight because they had never thought of themselves as guests and always thought of themselves as the masters of the Ji Clan. As for us, none of us are as aware as you are, and the people there are also not awake. Just based on this point alone, they are absolutely unworthy to be compared with you! "

Ji Feng shot a glance at him, "I say, second brother, were you unconscious before, or are you just pretending to be stupid?"

"... "You brat!" Ji Shalei immediately smiled bitterly, "Don't you have to be so direct with your words?"

"I'm from the countryside, and I'm just as simple as that!" Ji Feng laughed heartily.

In truth, Ji Feng knew that he was right.

This was no doubt a wise move. As long as one of his brothers rose to prominence, no matter how strong the other branch members were, they would be speechless. After all, Ji Shaodong was a true direct descendant.

Regardless of whether it was in terms of skill or intelligence, he was the best of the best. If it weren't for the fact that the old man had suddenly become seriously ill, the other branches would have watched helplessly as he grew, step by step, to provoke the Ji Clan, especially the direct line of descent.

Originally, Ji Shaodong had been a part of the main branch, but now, he had suddenly become the grandson of the main branch. No matter how he chose, the position of the third generation leader would definitely not fall to the side branch.

Since he couldn't beat Ji Shaodong, there shouldn't be any problem in treating this poor youngster who came from a gra.s.sroots background, right?

First, he had to admit that Ji Feng was the successor of the third generation Patriarch. This way, Ji Shaodong wouldn't have a chance. After all, he couldn't possibly compete with Ji Feng.

After that, they questioned Ji Feng's ability and status, and gradually rejected him. This way, no one in the direct line of descent would be able to inherit the position of the clan lord.

This position would naturally fall to the side branch!

Ji Shalei was also aware of this point, which was why he and his big brother, Ji Shaodong, were using various methods to support Ji Feng. It didn't matter who the head of the family was, the crucial point was that he couldn't allow this position to fall to someone else!

"Was that Ji Shaohong you mentioned to me before?" Ji Feng asked.

"Grandpa will have an opinion!" Ji Feng smiled faintly.

Ji Shalei was stunned for a moment before he smiled. That's right, as long as the old man was here, no matter how hard the other branches tried, they wouldn't be able to cause much trouble.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He didn't know how Ji Feng's brain worked, but while the others were still in a dilemma over how to deal with him, his gaze had already landed on the old man.

As long as he had the old tutor's support, what was the use of saying anything?

Seeing Ji Shaolei's look of relief, Ji Feng could not help but laugh, "That's why we regard the side branch too highly. As long as we can clearly see their true nature, they are not that scary!"

"Hey!"

Ji Feng laughed involuntarily.

In front of him was the old man's courtyard.
