"What excuse?"
Cheng Lifeng asked urgently.
"Elder Cheng, I'm just a grassroots employee in the political arena. For such a big matter, I can only talk about it in general terms on paper. I truly don't know the specific methods. However, don't panic, if I don't know, someone else certainly will."
Chen Feng said, playing hard to get.
"Who will know?"
Cheng Lifeng continued to ask urgently.
"Your elder brother, Cheng Liren."
"You mean, you want me to find my brother? No, absolutely not. To be honest, this time, I even thought of pitting my brother against me. I don't have the face to see my brother anymore."
Cheng Lifeng replied, his face flushing red.
"Elder Cheng, it's good that you have this thought. It shows that you didn't intend to pit your brother against you this time; it was out of necessity. Rest assured, your elder brother Cheng Liren has a very broad perspective. You are his biological brother, and he will forgive you."
Chen Feng advised Cheng Liren.
"Chen Feng, I feel that you see things very accurately. Can I ask why my brother would help me in return even if he knew I was trying to pit him against me? It doesn't seem logical. According to logic, shouldn't he just watch me die?"
Cheng Lifeng asked tentatively.
"There are two reasons. First, your father, biased towards your elder brother, allowed him to attend a key university, while you attended an ordinary one. Your elder brother feels very guilty about this now, so he wants to make amends. Secondly, although you wanted to pit him against you, you still had a bottom line. Others are different. When others try to pit your brother against you, they have no bottom line at all and would directly harm your brother to death. This time, after your elder brother saves you, you will definitely have a strong sense of gratitude. For your elder brother, you as his second-in-command are much better than an outsider as his second-in-command."
Chen Feng analyzed seriously.
"Chen Feng, your persuasion skills are impressive. Alright, I'll call my brother now and ask him what to do about the Qianshu Company matter."
After speaking, Cheng Lifeng directly called Cheng Liren.
Cheng Liren was not hesitant and directly followed Chen Feng's instructions to advise Cheng Lifeng.
"Dad, Chen Feng predicted that the country will take action against Qianshu Company tomorrow. Is that accurate?"
Cheng Lu asked with great interest.
"I wouldn't say for others' predictions. But for Chen Feng's predictions, I dare say they are absolutely accurate. This young man has astonishing talent and analytical ability. However, I am very curious about how China will take action against Qianshu Company tomorrow."
Cheng Liren replied thoughtfully.
"Recall the loans in advance?"
"Chen Feng didn't seem to mention that. It must be recalling loans in advance. Recalling loans in advance is only one of the methods."
Cheng Liren explained.
"How about this, Dad, why don't you also make a prediction about the Qianshu Real Estate Company matter."
Cheng Lu said with a smile.
"Certainly. I think that tomorrow, China will not only ask Qianshu Real Estate Company to repay its loans early but will also prohibit the boss of Qianshu Company from leaving the country."
After Cheng Liren finished speaking, Cheng Lu immediately and enthusiastically called Chen Feng to ask how China would take action against Qianshu Company tomorrow.
"From the current situation, neither will they force Qianshu Company to repay its loans early, nor will they restrict the Qianshu Company's general manager from leaving the country."
Chen Feng replied decisively.
"Chen Feng, didn't you say before that Qianshu Company's funds only go overseas and do not return to China? In such a situation, how could the country not take measures?"
Cheng Lu was bewildered.
"Miss Cheng, you've misunderstood. I didn't say that the country wouldn't take measures."
Chen Feng replied calmly.
"The country neither forces Qianshu Company to repay its loans early nor restricts the Qianshu Company's boss from leaving the country. Is that considered taking measures?"
Cheng Lu retorted directly.
"Miss Cheng, please calm down. On the surface, the country indeed has not taken measures. However, in reality, the country has adopted another, even more severe measure. Since you are not an outsider, I will not conceal anything. The country will directly have a state-owned enterprise acquire Qianshu Real Estate Company tomorrow."
"What? Acquire?"
"Yes, acquisition is also one of the methods."
"Chen Feng, I still don't understand why the country would do this. Wouldn't it be better to directly force Qianshu Company into bankruptcy?"
Cheng Lu asked, confused.
"If Qianshu Real Estate Company and other real estate companies are not doing well, forcing Qianshu Company into bankruptcy is indeed the best approach. But the problem is, although China's real estate industry has been sluggish in recent years, Qianshu Real Estate Company is a special case, a special case that makes money from real estate. The country is not foolish enough to let such a profitable real estate company go bankrupt."
After Chen Feng's explanation, Cheng Lu immediately understood.
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Lu relayed Chen Feng's words to Cheng Liren verbatim.
"Xiao Lu, I used to strongly object to you being with Chen Feng. Father was wrong. Father underestimated Chen Feng, thinking that since Chen Feng started as a town head's driver, he wouldn't achieve much in his life. As we've progressed, especially with your uncle's current situation, Chen Feng has shown extraordinary talent in the political arena. Sooner or later, Chen Feng's achievements in politics will surpass mine. It is Chen Feng who exemplifies the saying 'talent comes from humble beginnings,' so I agree to you being with Chen Feng."
Cheng Liren said emotionally.
"Thank you, Dad. To be honest, from the first moment I met Chen Feng, I felt that this man was extraordinary. However, there is still a small problem now..."
Cheng Lu said, pouting.
"Tell me, how can you have a small problem with such an excellent man?"
Cheng Liren said with a smile.
"Dad, it's like this. Chen Feng is truly flawless in all other aspects; he's a perfect score. However, there's one thing I really can't tolerate: he has too many women around him. Not only are there many, but they are also exceptionally outstanding. For example, there's Mayor Qin Yan of Mingshan Town, Cui Liya from Jiangcheng, and two Japanese sisters, Kaede Fujishima and Yoko Ieha..."
Cheng Lu said with great jealousy.
"Just for this matter?"
Cheng Liren replied with a smile.
"Dad, what's with your attitude? Isn't this a big deal? What woman wants to share a man with other women?"
Cheng Lu said indignantly.
"Xiao Lu, you need to change this way of thinking. Truly. Whether in the past or present, as long as a man is excellent, women will flock to him. If you don't want this, then you can leave an excellent man and find a trashy man; I guarantee that man will be solely yours."
Cheng Liren continued to say with a smile.
"Dad, I understand this logic. But I still feel uncomfortable."
Cheng Lu replied, pouting.
"Xiao Lu, there's nothing you can do. It's like this for women of excellent men. If you don't have this magnanimity, I suggest you break up with Chen Feng sooner rather than later. Chen Feng is definitely a young talent, and in due course, he will surely rise to prominence. A man who rises to prominence will definitely have many women around him."
Cheng Liren advised Cheng Lu.
"Dad, does that mean you have more than just Mom?"
Cheng Lu unexpectedly asked a fatal question.
"Xiao Lu, we are talking about you now, not me."
Cheng Liren replied, his face flushing red.
Cheng Lu didn't ask further. Her father's flushed face already explained everything.
"Alright, Dad, don't be nervous. I won't interfere with matters between you and Mom. Alright, the unmanned vehicle parts project in Jiangcheng has been successfully transferred to Mingshan Town. Chen Feng and I will be heading back to Mingshan Town first."
Cheng Lu said with a smile.
"You can go back to Mingshan Town first. Chen Feng needs to stay for a few more days. There's something I need to trouble Chen Feng with..."
Cheng Liren said meaningfully.
