Chapter 426: Chapter 426: Self-Awareness

"Ha, you think having Century Group as your backing has fully feathered your wings, and now you dare to negotiate terms with me."

Wang Tiandao chuckled as he looked at Li Feng, "Even if you could take the chairman’s seat at Century Group, you wouldn’t be able to hold it steady."

"That little reliance of yours means nothing in my eyes."

Wang Tiandao said as he directly stirred the chessboard, "If you want to play chess, you need the strength to play."

"Do you not have a high opinion of me?"

Li Feng, not openly objecting to Wang Tiandao’s action of upsetting the chessboard, saw that Wang Tiandao gave him no face at all.

This brat still dares to bargain with him. He was already making concessions, which was his bottom line. Otherwise, as a son-in-law coming into the family, how could it be possible for his son to take his surname?

"Think highly of you? How do you expect me to think highly of you?"

"Li Feng, you bear the Li surname, your father’s son, but you have no capital to be proud of, understand?"

"Is it because I am an illegitimate child?"

Li Feng looked at Wang Tiandao.

Wang Tiandao shook his head. "Yes, because you’re an illegitimate child. Look at your brother. The two of you aren’t much different in age, yet you two are worlds apart."

"Look at the people he associates with, they are all high officials, nobles, and sons of powerful families, while you? You are full of hooligan air. Even though you were married once and settled down for two years, that aura of the world still hasn’t changed in you."

"Different starting points, different circles, different visions. You think you can, but can you really?"

"Young man, it’s understandable to be spirited, but one must also be self-aware."

Wang Tiandao’s words were harsh, though painfully realistic. If this boy weren’t a Li by name, if he weren’t that person’s son, his precious daughter would never marry him.

His daughter, Wang Tiandao’s, even if seeking a son-in-law, would have men lined up from East City to West City to choose from, all outstanding.

Although Li Feng had surprised him several times, those weren’t enough to change the deeply ingrained views, even if Li Feng could beat the best bodyguard he hired, so what? At best, he’s just a brute.

Even if Li Feng luckily had Century Group fall into his lap, so what? He simply doesn’t have the capability to control a trillion-dollar corporation.

Yet, this boy overestimates his abilities and actually thinks he can use Century Group to pressurize him, not wanting to be just a son-in-law, desiring to marry his daughter.

But does this boy deserve that?

If it were his exceptionally gifted brother, perhaps there’d be a discussion, but not for you, Li Feng, because as an illegitimate child, you’re destined to have no ties with the Li Family.

Otherwise, why would that person let him marry into the Wang Family as a son-in-law, since being our son-in-law is indeed the best fortune for Li Feng?

As a result, this youngster seems to be getting a bit carried away.

Li Feng took it in and his lips curled into a smile, "Self-awareness, I might not quite have that."

"Since you think I’m not up to it, then I must prove it to you all the more."

"Prove to me, ha, you’ve already proven yourself once before," Wang Tiandao watched Li Feng.

"You mean Myth Communication."

Wang Tiandao glanced at Li Feng, knowing was enough; Li Feng smiled, "What makes you think I failed before?"

Wang Tiandao looked at Li Feng, this kid still wasn’t convinced, and even dared to talk back to him.

"Are you referring to the partner I dismissed or those employees who jumped ship?"

"Or perhaps you think the agreement I signed with Clover Group was too hasty."

"Heh, you know it."

"Since you insist on saying I’m not up to par, I really can’t help but refute it a bit. That former partner, was he really that capable? He had been with Myth Communication for three years, and the client resources in his hands were always just those few."

"He could bring in a few million in revenue for Myth Communication each year, hmm, for the previous Myth Communication, a few million in revenue wasn’t too little, considering the company’s assets were only thirty to fifty million."

"This kind of person, lacking drive and ability, relies solely on old gains to scrape by, might have thrived in the old Myth, but for a company worth tens of millions, I truly don’t see them as valuable."

"As for those employees who left, each one was more about show than substance, including many relatives who took money without doing their work. If I didn’t dismiss them and bring in some fresh blood, what future could this company have? And if I had to normally lay off employees, how troublesome that would be, not to mention if more were let go, how much trouble that would cause."

Wang Tiandao looked at the well-articulated Li Feng, "Heh, so you’re saying everything you did before was all part of your plan."

"Should I commend you for that?"

Wang Tiandao’s mouth twisted with mockery and scorn.

"I resolved the issues between Clover Group and Century Group and secured a year’s contract with Clover. As for the strategic cooperation with Century Group, a one billion advertising fee per year, and the bet I made with Jin’er, I won that too."

"You want to deny my achievements?"

"That was pure dumb luck," Wang Tiandao looked at Li Feng.

Li Feng chuckled, "Let’s not even discuss how that ’dumb luck’ came to be, isn’t luck also a form of strength?"

Wang Tiandao chuckled.

"You think you can always stumble upon good luck? The moment Chen Qinian closes his eyes, you’ll be exposed, and you really think you can take charge at Century Group just because you have the moral high ground?"

Li Feng looked at his father-in-law with burning eyes, "Want to make a bet?"

"If I take over Century Group, you’ll give me Wang Jin’er’s hand in marriage."

Wang Tiandao looked at Li Feng, who proposed the bet, and sneered outright, "Heh, playing your clever games, huh? For you to become a son-in-law of the Wang Family is already your good fortune, this isn’t a bet, it’s clearly extortion."

"Do you think I’m a fool?"

"If I cannot outmatch the people at Century Group, not only will I surrender to you and follow your arrangements, but I will also hand over Century Group to the Wang Family and thereafter, peacefully be a stay-at-home dad for the children."

Wang Tiandao uttered an "oh," raising his eyes to look at Li Feng who had staked everything.

"You’re not scared to bet with me, right? I’m just a nobody in your eyes, as you just said."

Wang Tiandao observed Li Feng, who dared to provoke him, truly unsure where he got his confidence from—perhaps it was good to let him recognize reality and be content as a stay-at-home dad; he liked Li Feng because he was a good dad, after all.

"Fine."

"A gentleman’s word, once given, cannot be taken back."

After setting the bet with Wang Tiandao, Li Feng walked out of the study, and upon opening the door, he saw Wang Jin’er standing outside.

"Eavesdropping?"

Wang Jin’er, directly called out by Li Feng, blushed deeply, "Not at all, I was just about to ask if you wanted some late-night snacks."
