Chapter 439: Chapter 439 Godfather

"I’m actually curious to see what kind of mess they can create."

Li Feng curled his lips into a smile.

It was very likely that Han Xue and Chen Muyang would reach an agreement, as a board meeting isn’t just called at will, especially when it’s in the name of Han Xue. If there isn’t some trickery involved, Li Feng wouldn’t believe it.

"I’ll go with you."

When Wang Jin’er saw Li Feng stand up, she wanted to follow, but Li Feng turned back and said, "It’s not appropriate for you to go."

"None of you should follow. I’m going to this board meeting alone to see what kind of mess Century Group can stir up from top to bottom."

"Li Feng, if it really doesn’t work out, just give it up. Century Group is like a huge whirlpool now. Anyone who takes over will find it troublesome, so why bother..." Wang Jin’er bit her lip but still spoke up.

"I know."

"Don’t worry about me. It’s not like they can eat me," Li Feng said with a slight smile, and pinched Wang Jin’er’s cheek before suddenly turning around and striding out.

Wang Jin’er wanted to say more, but ultimately remained silent. Jiang Linda sighed from beside her, "It isn’t something you can just let go of easily. That’s Century Group after all."

"But if the boss insists on fighting, I’m afraid it’s a bit..." Su Yuqing didn’t finish her sentence, but she wasn’t optimistic about Li Feng’s trip.

Everything that had happened at the previous cocktail party seemed like a dream, like a pie falling from the sky. But some things don’t become yours just because they land on you.

An innocent man incurs blame by carrying jade.

Li Feng went straight to the Century Group headquarters after getting out of the building. As one of the top ten landmarks in Sea City, the Century Group headquarters was also a distinctive building, though not as famous as the trident of Sea City.

Li Feng parked his car and walked into the building. It was his first time here and he naturally wasn’t familiar with the place, so he walked straight to the reception on the first floor.

"Hello, sir, how can I help you?"

"Which floor is the board meeting on?"

Li Feng asked directly.

The receptionist was obviously taken aback and couldn’t help but size up Li Feng, who was dressed very casually.

Li Feng had spent the previous night in the office and his T-shirt, bought from a supermarket that morning for just a few tens of yuan, along with very ordinary pants, made him look just like a stay-at-home man.

The receptionist did not snap at Li Feng, which was already good manners on her part.

"Sir, did you just ask about the board meeting?"

As a receptionist, it isn’t just about receiving and seeing off guests; first and foremost, one must remember the many senior executives of the company, which is basic. She had never seen the man in front of her.

"You’re the chairman’s sworn brother, right?" Another receptionist, after staring at Li Feng for seven or eight seconds, asked uncertainly.

"Ah, a godfather."

The receptionist suddenly remembered, since this was the brother recognized by the chairman, who was even the godfather of the chairman’s Lady’s unborn child.

It really did look about seventy or eighty percent like the person in the photos in the news.

"It really is a godfather."

"Godfather, can you give me your contact details?" Another, clearly younger receptionist directly handed her phone to Li Feng with a flushed face.

Li Feng coughed.

"Beauty, ’godfather’ isn’t just thrown around, plus I don’t have a daughter as old as you."

However, the youthful sister didn’t mind and instead squinted her eyes into crescents at Li Feng, "Godfather, this can actually be arranged."

"Ahem, Wu Lan, mind your manners."

The first receptionist who recognized Li Feng coughed, clearly finding her colleague’s behavior a bit disturbing.

"Uh, Director Li, my name is Sun Mei, and I am also single."

Holy shit.

Li Feng turned to look at the beauty hailed by his colleague—was she really that fierce? Or was it because he was too handsome?

"Ah, Li Feng."

"It’s Li Feng."

"What the hell are you talking about, who is Li Feng?"

Although there weren’t many people coming in and out of the lobby, the commotion at the front desk was enough to make passersby turn their heads. As soon as they saw Li Feng, someone shouted out loud.

"Li Feng, Li Feng!"

"The guy who topped the hot search a few days ago, our chairman publicly took him as a sworn brother and even said he would be the godfather to the chairman’s unborn child. I don’t know who started it, but privately, a lot of people call him godfather."

"And he shot straight to the top, straight to the pinnacle of life, that godfather."

"That’s him."

The female office worker next to them suddenly realized but then said, "But this godfather is going to cool down now, right? Didn’t you see the news today? The chairman suddenly died last night. Many people online suspect he had an affair with the chairman’s wife and wanted to hijack the group."

"They even link the chairman’s death to him."

"I saw that news, but I don’t think it’s useful. The chairman publicly declared his will. It’s not something that public opinion can subvert so easily."

"Apparently, godfather is currently single."

"He’s been called a kept man by some online," the female office worker added.

"Uh-huh, a kept man. Do you think just anyone can be a kept man? Godfather really has a manly charm and he’s so handsome, I really want to cling to godfather’s coattails."

"Hey, are you sick?"

"Holy shit, he actually dares to show up."

"The chairman’s body is barely cold, and he shows up at Century Group. What is he trying to do? He can’t really think he can take over that position."

Compared to the female office worker, the male office worker was clearly not a fan of Li Feng, and some were even envious and resentful.

"It is said that he had an affair with the chairman’s wife. They met in Huacheng and used to be each other’s first love."

"It’s not even clear whether the child in the chairman’s wife’s belly is the chairman’s. Alas, the chairman must have been senile."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Just as many people were gossiping in the lobby, suddenly a cough sounded from behind.

One of the office workers turned around and saw an elderly man with silvery hair: "Ma, Elder Ma."

The man addressed as Elder Ma snorted coldly and glared at the gossiping office worker with his sharp eyes: "Can you just make up stories about the chairman? Who gave you the guts?"

"Yes, Elder Ma, my mistake."

People around quickly turned their heads and clammed up upon seeing the old man, who was a company veteran and one of its directors, having conquered the business world along with the chairman.

Ma Chusheng snorted, leaned on his cane, ignored the apologetic office worker, and walked towards Li Feng, who had also seen the elderly man.

"So you’re the snitch that’s caused unrest from top to bottom within Century Group."

Being a local from Sea City, Ma Chusheng naturally had a local accent.

Snitch—that was definitely not a term of endearment. This elder clearly bore hostility.

"And you are?"

"My grandfather is a director at Century Group, and one of the founding veterans who fought side by side with Elder Chen."

Without waiting for him to speak, a young man standing beside looked arrogantly at Li Feng.

"Hmph, a guy who climbed up by flattering women and became a son-in-law expecting to covet Century Group? Did you ask if my grandfather agreed?"
