Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Make Friends First

"Hmm?"

Huo Yongtao was taken aback for a moment, and beside him, Yang Hua also raised his eyes to look at Chu Wei, "Making friends with Li Feng, how so?"

This wasn’t a problem that a chance encounter could solve.

"Huazi, let Chu Wei speak first."

"Make friends with Li Feng, and then what?" Huo Yongtao watched Chu Wei, who replied with a slight smile, "Once you’re friends, some things will naturally fall into place. From what I know about this Li Feng, he doesn’t have many friends, but he is incredibly loyal to the few he has."

"As long as Young Master can catch Li Feng’s eye, that will be easy."

"Oh."

Hearing Chu Wei say this, Huo Yongtao squinted his eyes and pondered the feasibility of this proposition.

Yang Hua was somewhat puzzled and looked at Chu Wei, "Chu Wei, you say make friends, but what comes after? Didn’t you say it would be killing two birds with one stone?"

Chu Wei chuckled and said, "The Young Master needs to befriend not only Li Feng but also become friends with Lin Wanzhou."

"Hmm, you just said earlier that the Young Master couldn’t mix with someone like Lin Wanzhou, who is nothing but a wine sack and rice bag who only knows how to indulge in pleasure, but now you’re saying Young Master should befriend Lin Wanzhou."

"There are methods to making friends. Some you connect with by sharing common interests, some you bind with through mutual benefits, and some through a kindred spirit. Different approaches for different people. For Lin Wanzhou, for example, the Young Master just needs to have some business ties with him, making him believe the Young Master is a friend."

"We don’t actually need the Young Master to go out and seek pleasure with Lin Wanzhou. The same principle applies to Li Feng, just that with him, one needs to be a little more dedicated."

Listening to Chu Wei, Huo Yongtao realized that Chu Wei’s level of cunning far exceeded his expectations; even friends could be calculated.

"Continue."

"Heh, I haven’t thought about what comes after. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. For now, the Young Master should start making friends."

"Becoming friends with Lin Wanzhou should be simple. He likes to indulge in pleasure and has plenty of fair-weather friends around; pulling some strings won’t be difficult. But this Li Feng..."

Huo Yongtao realized that even though Li Feng had made the hot search list on the internet several times, he was extremely low-key with a narrow social circle—not the type you can simply arrange a damsel-in-distress scenario for like with Miss Pei.

Out of the people around Li Feng, Huo Yongtao couldn’t count on a single one that made sense to exploit, except for that college lecturer named Mu Yuyan, but he surely couldn’t pose as Li Feng’s romantic rival.

After all, he still needed to win over Miss Pei.

Huo Yongtao looked over at Chu Wei, who was smirking, "Chu Wei, speak your mind if you have an idea."

"There is a breakthrough to get close to Li Feng."

"Li Feng isn’t only the chairman of Century Group, but before that, he was the president of some nondescript small company."

"Oh."

"You mean Myth Communication!"

Yang Hua had investigated Li Feng’s background, which included this detail. Chu Wei snapped his fingers, "Bingo. That’s the one."

"Myth Communication."

"However, before approaching Myth Communication, the Young Master will need to first enter Pei Family’s group and take on a position." Chu Wei’s eyes twinkled with slyness, as if he had everything under control.

And all the people were merely chess pieces on his board.

Myth Communication, the company where Li Feng served as boss, had not disbanded after Li Feng became the chairman of Century Group; quite the contrary, after some recent managing, Myth Communication had come out of its previous predicament.

After completing the antique museum exhibit in Jin City, Jiang Linda and Su Yuqing returned to Sea City.

That morning, just as Jiang Linda reached the company, she was stopped by Chu Shiyu.

"What’s the matter?"

Chu Shiyu looked at Jiang Linda, "A big client has come."

"Big client?"

"Yes, someone from Wanfu Jewelry. They seem to want to discuss a collaboration. They are in the conference room right now."

"Wanfu Jewelry."

Jiang Linda’s pupils slightly dilated. Wanfu Jewelry had a significant presence, ranking among the top ten in Yan Country’s jewelry circles, with stores in nearly all major cities and being a conglomerate with assets in the billions.

For Myth Communication, which was just reopening, this collaboration wasn’t a small matter, so Jiang Linda took it very seriously and went straight to the meeting room.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Linda saw the people from Wanfu Jewelry out, then Su Yuqing and Chu Shiyu approached her, "How did it go?"

"Pretty smoothly, I guess, but..."

"But what? Did the other party propose any harsh conditions?" Su Yuqing looked at Jiang Linda, who seemed hesitant to speak.

Jiang Linda shook her head, "It’s not that, just that they insisted on having our boss personally attend the talks."

Su Yuqing and Chu Shiyu uttered an "Oh," and Su Yuqing mused, "Could it be that they are eyeing our boss’s status as the chairman of Century Group?"

As Su Yuqing speculated, she shook her head again, "Who knows? Maybe they are targeting our president’s status. But it doesn’t make sense to me, since the jewelry conglomerate is only a jewelry group and doesn’t have any business crossings with Century Group."

"That’s quite strange."

"Maybe they don’t know that our boss here is the chairman of Century?"
