Chapter 700: Chapter 700: Rich and Powerful

Two Li Fengs were not a case of coincidence but the same person.

This made everyone present involuntarily gasp for air; a young model beside a boss, hearing the gasps, also appeared puzzled.

"Daddy, I’m feeling a bit dizzy. Why is everyone making such a face? What does it matter if this Li Feng is the same person as that Li Feng?"

The boss, nearly fifty and a billionaire in the jewelry industry, although not as affluent as Wanfu Group, was a vice president within the Jewelry Association.

"Of course it matters."

Clearly very fond of this goddaughter, he immediately lowered his voice and began explaining to the young model.

"This Li Feng suddenly swore brotherhood with Mr. Chen, the old chairman of Century Group, and this event shocked the entire business circle. Even though there was Mr. Chen’s will, the nearly trillion-dollar assets of Century Group—you know how much money that is."

The model nodded. She knew her godfather’s fortune was only a few billion, already making him a prominent figure, yet Century Group was one of Sea City’s top ten groups, which made her godfather nothing in comparison.

"Since you know it, then you should understand how wealth moves people’s hearts. Even with that will, for an outsider to take the chairman’s position is almost impossible, do you really think everyone else is a fool?"

The boss sneered. "If Mr. Chen were alive, it might have been possible, but Mr. Chen passed away just a few days after leaving the will, haha, people inside and outside Sea City’s business community are speculating about the cause of the old chairman’s death."

"That wasn’t done by Li Feng, was it?"

"Heh, whether it was or wasn’t, it doesn’t matter anymore. With Mr. Chen’s death, Century Group was destabilized, everyone was ready to act, yet in the end, Li Feng ascended and became the chairman of Century, and it was at this time everything about him got dug up."

"Some hot news even topped the trending lists, wherein one analytical report completely tore him apart. He even earned the title of a ’kept man’."

"I’ve seen that news, and I think the analysis makes sense. This guy was once admitted into a family by marriage, and then he became close to the chairman’s wife of Century Group. He’s totally a gigolo."

The model glanced at Li Feng, her eyes containing a trace of scorn.

"Hmph, I felt the same before because the rhythm set by that wave of reporting was too good, fitting perfectly with the previous wave of swearing brotherhood with Chairman Chen."

"Then, the subsequent follow-up reports convinced everyone that Li Feng was a kept man, dependent on a woman to earn his chairman office, and this conclusion was also internally accepted by all who followed the event."

The model still didn’t quite understand, "Daddy, according to you, he’s deliberately making people think he’s just a gigolo? Isn’t he silly?"

Being called a gigolo is not a good reputation, though nowadays in society, a capable gigolo is not only not despised but also envied and hated by many.

But after all, it’s not nice to be scolded.

Even she dislikes being scolded as a mistress.

"Heh, is he silly?"

This boss, owning a billion in wealth was also a seasoned fox in the business world, some things you may not think of, but once you do, you quickly notice the coincidences.

Those coincidences were too much.

"No, he’s not silly, on the contrary, Li Feng is very shrewd. He fooled everyone."

The boss looked up at Li Feng.

He now even suspected that the rhythm of public opinion was led by Li Feng himself, completely a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

"Ah!"

The model felt even more bewildered.

"Huacheng Hidden Dragon, I’ve heard of him." This boss suddenly spoke up while staring intently at Li Feng.

"If it hadn’t been revealed, I wouldn’t have remembered."

"This Hidden Dragon, is that a nickname?" asked the model.

"Sort of."

"Old Zhou, you know this Hidden Dragon Li Feng?"

Although the boss’s voice was not loud, the people beside him overheard and, knowing each other well, couldn’t help but ask.

After all, the situation unfolding was shocking everyone.

First, the young master of Baili Group kowtowed to someone—Baili Group itself boasted assets in the hundreds of billions, not a weak foundation by any means. At least when these people met this young master, they would not dare to offend him, even if they did not flatter him.

Then there was Huo Yongtao on the other side, a son-in-law of Wanfu Group.

Wanfu Group in the jewelry industry was also a leader, worth hundreds of billions, a significant player in Sea City’s jewelry field; they had come today to pay homage.

Old Zhou hummed a response, "You guys also know I’ve opened a few jewelry stores in Huacheng. You can’t do business there without paying homage. That person in Huacheng is also from a powerful family, not quite one of the top eight, but still a figure in Huacheng with extensive connections. When he stomps, Huacheng trembles."

"But during that visit, I happened to overhear a phone call. I listened for a bit and out of curiosity asked."

"Do you know what that person said?"

"Um, what did they say?" The model looked at her godfather.

Old Zhou looked towards Li Feng, "That powerful family head told me, ’Half of Huacheng belongs to Hidden Dragon, so with just a word from him, Sihai Group is finished.’"

"Hmm?"

The model was a bit confused, but Old Wu beside her involuntarily gasped, "Sihai Group, isn’t that a well-known real estate business in Huacheng with a not small scale? In Huacheng, they’re quite powerful, and even some Sea City real estate businesses can’t compete with them there."

"But right before this year, Sihai Group suddenly went bankrupt, was it because of this Hidden Dragon Li Feng?"

Old Zhou nodded, "Correct, with just one word from Hidden Dragon, this billion-scaled real estate giant in Huacheng couldn’t survive the year."

"They were real estate merchants."

Old Zhou gritted his teeth.

Yes, compared to other industries, real estate development cannot do without connections and background. Which big real estate developer doesn’t have a powerful support behind them? Sihai Group had dominated Huacheng, a top player, and if you claim Sihai didn’t have influential backing, who would believe it?

Yet such a Sihai Group declared bankruptcy just like that.

"So, for Century Group, I think it’s not as the outside rumors say. The truth is, this Crown Prince Li Feng has completely taken over Century Group, with a thunderous force, catching everyone off guard."

"Century Group has nearly a trillion in assets!" Old Wu was also scared to think further, goddamn, this truth is a bit frightening.
