Chapter 657: Chapter 424: Testing the Ability to Withstand Pressure_3

"The tree branches have been pruned with a unique charm."

Passing through the front yard, Ding led them toward the living room.

They also saw a lady in her fifties sitting casually in the living room.

"Yo, who is thi—"

The person quickly preparing to speak was elbowed by a companion, and the words were beaten back before they could be uttered.

Walking at the forefront, Boss Huang instantly put on a different face, briskly made his way over, smiling politely and restrained, yet with caution in his tone, but he was clearly excited:

"Sister Lan! I didn’t expect to see you here! Sister Lan, since you’ve come all the way to Yang City, why don’t I host a—"

Mid-sentence, Boss Huang suddenly realized that she, it seems, took her mother’s surname, also surnamed Feng.

Looking at this mansion, thinking about the owner, and then eyeing the person before him.

He immediately switched his tactic to plan B.

The two other people who came with him were still somewhat confused, but seeing Boss Huang’s reaction, they too understood that the person in front of them was of no ordinary status.

After Boss Huang’s introduction, they stealthily sent messages to their assistant and then received a summary of the information they desired.

Sometimes the saying "Different trades are like different worlds" applies to them too. Without business intersections, their knowledge of this "Sister Lan" was quite limited.

But looking at the collected information, they got a general understanding.

The group controlled by Sister Lan is a giant in the international large-scale chemical materials industry.

They research materials with a broad range of applications, from deep-sea diving to land warfare, and even to aeronautics and astronautics. Specializing in cutting-edge material research, their corporate partners are also no ordinary individuals.

Not to mention anything else, the Joint Safety Bureau is one of "Sister Lan’s" partners, and several environmentally friendly products and solutions recommended by them are related to her group.

The mere summary of information collected in a short time allowed a glimpse into the grand blueprint behind it.

Sister Lan is a predecessor, a master, a dominant figure of her field.

Suddenly facing such a person, they were really unprepared, and the psychological pressure was immense!

Especially when faced with eyes that seemed oppressively insightful, as though they could see right through their innermost thoughts, they felt like they were in the presence of a majestic lion, one that could let out a deep roar at any moment.

They didn’t dare to speak carelessly.

One of them tried to divert his attention but when he saw the tea leaves in the teapot, his eyelid twitched. He picked up the teacup to confirm his suspicions and the more he drank, the more silent he became.

At that moment, Boss Huang was still enduring the high-pressure atmosphere, maintaining a smile, and conversing with Sister Lan.

They were developing a high-end residential area in Yang City and needed several rare materials that only Sister Lan’s group possessed. He personally had been negotiating this deal, and after a long discussion, it still wasn’t settled.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Boss Huang suddenly felt that the online rumors about "the mysterious power behind Feng Yi" might actually have some credibility!

In this strange atmosphere, seconds stretched like years, torturous.

However, this oppressive atmosphere quickly dissipated with Feng Yi coming downstairs.

Feng Yi looked slightly pale and his footsteps were a bit unsteady.

Dealing with the bigwigs was not easy; his limited knowledge was nearly drained dry!

His brain was overworking, and he was suffering from a serious blood supply deficiency.

Right now, he just wanted to eat!

When he came downstairs, he washed his face hastily, and some water droplets were still clinging to his body.

His cousin took out a tissue and wiped the droplets off for him, voicing her concern:

"Don’t be too stressed, your health is the most important."

After drying him off, she poured another cup of tea and handed it to Feng Yi.

Feng Yi took it: "Thank you, cousin."

The three unexpected guests curiously took a few more glances.

Such a change in tone, such a shift in attitude.

Their familial relationship was not ordinary, indeed.

Well...

Drink tea.

Drink tea in silence.
