Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Fight Fire with Fire

A ringtone blared as Dongfang Ding woke up, clutching his head, the throbbing pain of a hangover pounding.

What’s going on?

Last night, it seemed he and Ma Lin had schemed against that Li surname guy who leeched off women, and just when they succeeded, they wanted to push over that pretty receptionist.

And then...

"Hisss!"

Next to him, Ma Lin also snapped awake, opening his eyes to see Dongfang Ding, first startled, then the events of last night surfaced in his mind.

"Hmm, where’s that woman?"

Ma Lin looked sleazily at Dongfang Ding, Dongfang Ding turned his head towards Ma Lin, "My head hurts a bit, I can’t remember clearly."

Dongfang Ding carefully recalled the details.

"Do you still remember what happened last night?"

Ma Lin, upon hearing this, felt a heaviness in his head, as if last night they had pushed He Lu onto the bed, about the force themselves on her, but then the image just cut off.

"Uh, my memory is a bit fragmented too?"

Dongfang Ding and Ma Lin looked at each other just as the phone in the pocket of their clothing rang again. Dongfang Ding was still somewhat doubtful in his mind, he hadn’t been drinking last night, so it couldn’t be a blackout.

If they had slept with that He Lu, how could there be no memory of it?

Dongfang Ding turned and got up to fish out his phone, looked at the number, and answered directly, "Hello, Dad, you were looking for me."

Before Dongfang Ding could finish, a roar came through the phone.

"You unfilial son, where are you now?"

"I’m outside, what’s up, Dad?"

"What’s up? Do you even have the nerve to ask what’s up? Get your ass back home immediately."

Beep beep, beep beep.

Dongfang Ding, confused, looked at the disconnected call, "I’m going to take a shower first, my dad is calling me home."

"What’s happening with your grand plan?"

Early in the morning, Jiang Linda pushed open the door and entered Li Feng’s office, placing a tablet directly on his desk.

"Don’t you dare tell me this has nothing to do with you."

Jiang Linda stared piercingly at Li Feng, not because she was making wild guesses, but because the news had made it to the trending searches in just a little over two hours, exposed by multiple media outlets, especially since the person involved was related to Century Group, the story soared as if aided by a strong wind.

By now, it had successfully entered the top ten of the trending search list, and was still on the rise.

Li Feng glanced at it and didn’t even pick it up to know what it was about, "You’ve said this much, so I won’t deny it."

Jiang Linda held her head and looked at Li Feng, "My dear Mr. Li, Chairman Li, you’re now the Chairman of Century Group. Family shame shouldn’t be spread abroad, have you considered the feelings of Century Group with what you’re doing?"

Jiang Linda felt genuinely powerless from the bottom of her heart towards Li Feng. In the past, upon coming to Myth Communication, he drove out the only partner in half a month, and in one month, reduced the company to barely three kittens, even causing the company to be vandalized and attacked with feces and paint.

As a result, the former President Wang Jin’er had no choice but to leave, leaving the company in Li Feng’s hands like a hot potato.

She never expected that this guy would still be stuck in his old ways, only now the unlucky one was Century Group.

She wondered if the old Chairman of Century Group, if aware in the afterlife, would be hopping mad and cursing, regretting that he left Century Group to such a man.

Li Feng looked at Jiang Linda, "This is typical feudal thinking. Should we hide problems? If there’s an illness, it needs to be treated; dragging it out only makes it worse."

"Why should I care about Century Group’s feelings anyway? I may have become the Chairman of the Century Group, but not a single person there treats me like one of their own."

"But you can’t just do that. Dongfang Ding’s father is the boss of Eastern Transnational Group. By targeting his son like this, do you think he will let it go? They hold a lot of shares in Century Group. Are you trying to pick a fight with him?"

Jiang Linda looked at Li Feng speechlessly. Could this guy really be the Sect Leader of a trillion-dollar empire?

It would only take a few days to drive Century Group to bankruptcy at this rate.

"It’s not good."

At that moment, Su Yuqing hurriedly walked in from outside, and Jiang Linda turned her head, "Entertainment news?"

"Everybody knows?"

Su Yuqing said.

"How could they not? It’s in the top ten trending searches. I wish I could pretend I didn’t see it."

Jiang Linda said with an annoyed expression.

"Century Group’s stock price has fallen again; it’s below five now."

Su Yuqing brought more bad news, and Jiang Linda turned to look at Li Feng. Did you hear that? Because of your moment of satisfaction, Century Group’s stock price has fallen below five yuan. You should know that the highest price of Century Group’s stock was over seventy yuan.

Of course, that was during a bull market, but even before Century Group ran into trouble, the stocks were worth more than thirty yuan each.

It hasn’t been long, and now the price has plummeted through the floor.

Li Feng is just throwing fuel on the fire.

"How come the news of me becoming Chairman didn’t make it to the trending searches?" Li Feng was scrolling through the news on his tablet.

"Do you think we should hold a press conference?"

Li Feng stroked his chin, considering.

Jiang Linda stared at Li Feng, who seemed to revel in chaos, "Are you determined not to stop until Century Group goes bankrupt?"

"Look at you, making it sound like me becoming Chairman is the cause of Century Group’s bankruptcy. Isn’t it supposed to be good news? Maybe it could even give the stock price a boost."

Li Feng was full of self-satisfaction, and Jiang Linda rolled her eyes, "Can’t we have some shame?"

"I think it’s best to postpone this matter."

Su Yuqing also reminded him kindly. Century Group was in the midst of turmoil, and former Chairman Chen had passed away not two days ago, followed by a power struggle within the board. Although they hadn’t been present, they didn’t know how Li Feng had ended up in that position.

But they knew that if Li Feng really went ahead with this press conference, Century Group’s stocks could instantly fall by a yuan, making them worth less than cabbage.

"Chairman Chen has barely turned cold; shouldn’t we let him rest in peace before discussing anything else?" Jiang Linda agreed with Su Yuqing’s suggestion. Now was not the time to stir the media and the public further. Are you even aware of the image you have right now?

Online, you’re being called the ’Prince of Soft Rice,’ and it’s gaining momentum.

Some bored soul even wrote a short piece titled "The Journey of a Son-in-Law to the Pinnacle of Life."

This short piece even went viral, with over ten million views and thousands of shares.

"That makes sense; my older brother’s funeral is a big matter, after all."

"Dad, why did you call me back so early in the morning? What happened?" Dongfang Ding walked into the study to see Dongfang Wenzheng brewing Kung Fu tea.

"What happened? Don’t you know the trouble you’ve caused? You have completely embarrassed our Dongfang family."

Unable to contain his anger, Dongfang Wenzheng threw the Purple Sand Pot he was holding at Dongfang Ding.
