Chapter 718: Chapter 718: Throw a Spanner in the Works
"Insiders look for subtlety; laymen enjoy the spectacle."
Transferring forty billion seemed a matter of just a few words, but in reality, the operation was far from simple. Even for those with extensive connections and powerful relationships, mobilizing forty billion all at once would still take some time and effort.
That move truly frightened many people.
Mr. Wang, who stood not far off, was particularly shocked. As a bank employee well-versed in internal procedures, he knew that moving such an enormous sum might even require alerting the provincial head office, necessitating signatures from no fewer than seven or eight people.
Without pulling some strings, you could forget about getting it done in three to five days. Yet Li Feng had managed just with a phone call, and after waiting for just one minute, the speed was simply terrifying.
Sweat appeared on Mr. Wang’s forehead. He turned his head to look at Liu Yan beside him, his face darkening. This damned guy had caused him trouble. Had he not listened to him, he wouldn’t have appeared so indifferent just moments ago.
Damn it.
Liu Yan also felt Mr. Wang’s gaze. His expression was uneasy, and he felt like a storm was raging in his heart. This couldn’t be possible. The other party was merely a kept man, a pretty boy reliant on a woman—how could he possibly have forty billion?
He was definitely bluffing.
Thinking so, Liu Yan didn’t just stand there foolishly, but turned to approach Li Feng, "Li Feng, enough is enough. Who doesn’t know what kind of person you are? Is there any need to put on such an act here? Forty billion, and you say you can just transfer it like that? Do you think your family owns a bank?"
"Everyone knows you were once a live-in son-in-law. What kind of spineless man takes on that role? And I heard you were swept out by the woman’s family and couldn’t even make it in Huacheng before running off to Sea City."
"Even though nobody knows by what means you tangled up with the Lady Chairman of Century Group, and plotted to take her place, causing the death of Century’s old chairman and seating yourself in that position, mud remains mud, destined never to support a wall."
"Now, you even have the gall to keep up these charades. Is this amusing to you?"
"If you’ve been given an out, take it quickly. Why keep up this façade, pretending like you have any backbone? You lost that backbone when you became a live-in son-in-law, and let’s not forget about your pitiful self-respect."
With that unsolicited input, Liu Yan indeed became the center of public attention. Li Feng glanced sideways at this "madman" Liu Yan.
Liu Yan, unfazed, stood his ground in a confrontation with Li Feng.
"Is this guy brain-dead? Instead of getting out of here fast, he’s actually courting trouble—does he have a death wish?"
Zhang Chang coldly regarded Li Feng’s so-called "love rival."
Was this the time for him to show up and make a fuss?
He obviously didn’t see what the occasion was.
Any person present could easily crush him, and yet he dared to speak out. Standing to one side, Dong Xing looked at Liu Yan with a different intent in his eyes.
Is he stupid?
Maybe genuinely foolish, or maybe the guy is quite shrewd. Was he putting on a performance for him to watch?
Distracted by the interruption, Dong Xing didn’t dwell on what kind of person Liu Yan was, but this disruption had managed to relax the tense atmosphere somewhat.
"Heh, you’re the ringleader? Our Chairman Li’s love rival?"
Dong Xing walked right up to Liu Yan.
"Is this really your place to speak?"
Slap.
Without another word, Dong Xing slapped Liu Yan across the face, then coldly swept his gaze over him, "Someone, throw this man out."
"Yes."
The security guards standing nearby were also sweating bullets, afraid of being caught in the crossfire of a fight between "Immortals." Instantly, a group of security guards pounced and grabbed Liu Yan, dragging him out.
Dong Xing withdrew his gaze and smiled amiably at Li Feng.
"Calling you Chairman Li seems too formal, so I’ll call you Young Master Feng. Now that the eyesore is gone, shall we discuss some real business?"
Dong Xing acted as if nothing had just happened, assuming that if Li Feng had any insight, he wouldn’t bring it up again, after all, he had shown goodwill.
However, Dong Xing thought he was showing goodwill, making a significant concession to give Li Feng face.
Unfortunately, this was just Dong Xing’s wishful thinking.
Li Feng chuckled lightly, looking at Dong Xing and the other local bigwigs of Sea City, "A good horse doesn’t turn back to graze on pastures it has passed. Since I’ve already left, why would I go back?"
"Besides, I feel the feng shui of this place clashes with me. When I take over, I’ll have it thoroughly renovated."
"Let’s leave it at that for today. I have other plans. Young Master Zhang, Young Master Tang, if you have no other arrangements, how about joining me?"
Li Feng didn’t give Dong Xing any face at all. Did they really think he owed them anything? That, after being slapped and humiliated, he should still conduct business with them?
"I came to Sea City specifically for you, so I’ll follow your lead," Zhang Chang said with a smile, squinting his eyes. These fools like Dong Xing really thought they could push Li Feng around easily, trying to squeeze him without even understanding his background.
"Then I’ll respectfully comply with your wish."
Tang Rong of the Tang Dynasty smiled faintly. Today’s situation was quite interesting; this Li Feng of Century Group was not as incompetent as the rumors suggested.
With a single move, he put down forty billion yuan; this kind of strength did not align with online accusations of being a mere pretty boy or son-in-law. Besides, any thinking person would realize that Century Group is one of Sea City’s top ten groups – it’s no easy seat to take as chairman.
To his knowledge, the Century Group chairman’s wife comes from an ordinary family and was merely the chairman’s personal secretary before her promotion; her rise to power was evidence of her skill. But to say that she single-handedly controlled Century Group,
he didn’t believe it. If she had truly achieved that, she must be an extraordinary woman, perhaps on the same level as Wu Zetian.
Seeing the other two respond, Li Feng didn’t bother with anyone else. Among those present, there were groups from both Jin City Circle and Sea City Circle, and most from the Jin City Circle had little connection with Li Feng; they were purely attracted by interests.
From the Sea City Circle, Li Feng didn’t know many, but Tang Rong had previously made a point of warmly greeting him, so Li Feng casually invited him. Of course, there were other considerations.
Dong Xing watched Li Feng turn to leave and clenched his fists—the blatant rejection was a slap in the face from Li Feng.
"Li, if you dare to leave today, without our consent, Century Group will remain in your incapable hands."
Someone behind Dong Xing jumped out, his face full of scorn.
"Hmm, you dare to disrespect us; Li Feng, think carefully about the consequences," he warned.
Clearly, Li Feng’s slap in the face wasn’t just against one person but against all of them. Who gave him such courage?
Zhang Chang immediately turned to look at Dong Xing and the others; "Idiots, do you take me for a decoration? Really think you can do whatever you want in Sea City?"
"And I’ll say it just like this—in this Sea City, what I, Dong Xing, say goes. If I say no, I’d like to see who dares to cross me."
