Chapter 733: Chapter 733: Open a Press Conference

"I reminded her not to meddle in my affairs, but she seemed unwilling to listen," Li Feng said nonchalantly. Meanwhile, Zhang Chang swallowed hard, his mind conjuring up images of the two dining together.

That woman was the formidable Demon of Sea City, utterly dominant in nature. To her, these scions of privilege were but little brothers, easily twisted and manipulated at her whim, yet curiously, no one dared to provoke her.

And considering Xiao Mingyue’s sudden loan of a hundred billion to Dong Xing and others, it was obvious that during the meal, Li Feng must have irked this formidable woman.

"Brother, I don’t mean to be nosy, but this woman is truly not someone to offend. How did you end up provoking her?"

Li Feng looked at Zhang Chang. "It was she who targeted me. I merely meant to kindly remind her, but unexpectedly, this woman has a large chest but a small heart."

Zhang Chang gave a bitter smile. It wasn’t just small; it was downright vindictive. She could make an issue out of nothing. Otherwise, why would these fearless, high-born youths avoid her like the plague? It was precisely because she was too terrifying.

You couldn’t touch her, hit her, curse her, or even talk about her behind her back without feeling terror. In their circles, there was an unwritten rule that if you could avoid mentioning Xiao Mingyue, you should, because it was too horrifying.

"Brother, if it really comes to it, let’s not compete over Century Group. Let’s treat the previous deal as if it never happened. I don’t think anyone would object."

Zhang Chang looked sympathetically at Li Feng. As for the others who came with him, he believed that merely mentioning Xiao Mingyue would make everyone act as if this incident had never occurred. Money was good, but compared to crossing Xiao Mingyue, they all knew better.

"Heh, you’re scared of a woman like this?"

"Li Feng, she is no ordinary woman."

Zhang Chang reminded Li Feng again.

"Anyway, try not to provoke her. If she really remembers you, it’s going to be a nightmare."

Li Feng hummed in response and hit another golf ball. Having spent the morning at the golf club, Li Feng then made an excuse to leave.

"Ah."

Zhang Chang sighed as he watched Li Feng depart.

"Prepare a press conference."

Li Feng returned directly to Myth Communication and upon arrival, found Jiang Linda and immediately instructed her to arrange a press conference.

"A press conference? What are you up to?"

"I’m planning to release some information to the media."

"When?"

"Tomorrow morning at ten."

Li Feng stated a time promptly. Jiang Linda looked at him. "Is it about Century Group?"

"Yes."

Li Feng answered bluntly. Without asking further, Jiang Linda abruptly turned to prepare for the press conference. Although a day’s notice was short, it was sufficient.

"Sister Mingyue, it seems that Li Feng is planning a press conference tomorrow," a female secretary reported to Xiao Mingyue.

Xiao Mingyue was in a room at the top of the tallest skyscraper in Sea City, a vantage point from which she could look down over the entire city, as if pressing it beneath her feet.

"Oh, a press conference? Do you know what it’s about?"

"Not sure. They’ve only sent out a message to all major media, but the specific content of the conference wasn’t mentioned. However, judging from my understanding, it’s probably related to Century Group,"

the secretary said.

This woman secretary happens to be one of Xiao Mingyue’s trusted aides, and just like her, there are eleven other women. These women, no less beautiful and all with strong personalities, constituted Xiao Mingyue’s team, referred to as the Sea City Twelve Sects in Sea City.

Xiao Mingyue controlled the vast underground empire mainly through these twelve, who were often referred to by many in Sea City as the Twelve Demonesses.

"Oh."

Xiao Mingyue frowned slightly upon hearing this. Sensing her boss’s demeanor, the secretary quickly added, "Sister Mingyue, Li Feng had been to a golf club and met Zhang Chang, one of the Jin City Young Four. Perhaps, Zhang Chang disclosed the news of your support for Dong Xing to Li Feng."

"That’s why Li Feng prepared a press conference right after he returned."

Xiao Mingyue listened and cracked a slight smile, "Young Chang from Jin City Four Young, he actually teamed up with Li Feng."

"Sister Mingyue, should we call him over for a questioning?"

"Forget it. Isn’t that Li Feng holding a press conference? Let’s just wait and see what he does at his press conference. I’m actually quite curious about his next move."

Xiao Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled.

She was quite bored.

There were hardly any players to join her in her games. Suddenly, a Crown Prince from Huacheng appeared—a peer in the industry. This gave Xiao Mingyue some amusement, and she just hoped that this Li Feng wouldn’t break too quickly under her play.

Otherwise, life really would be lonely.

Time quickly moved to the day of the press conference. Numerous media outlets attended, as after all, the press conference was called under the name of the CEO of Century Group, who was currently the hottest topic in the news for the past six months.

"Bro Zhang, do you know any insider details?"

"Insider details? Do I look like someone who would know? If I did, I would have written a press release and sent it out by now. Moreover, ever since this Sect Leader became the chairman, let alone accepting interviews, it’s said he hasn’t even visited Century Group, which is quite the anomaly."

Zhang Fan was a journalist, known for his bold reporting. In previous coverage about Li Feng, Zhang Fan had released quite a bit of exclusive information.

"I’ve heard that internally, Century Group has a lot of resistance towards their Sect Leader. And how he became the chairman, everyone knows the story well enough. Probably no one sees him as fit for the role, and it seems he knows it too, which is why he must not bother going to the Century Group office."

"Hehe, not exactly sure, but today’s press conference should be very interesting."

"Oh?"

"Haven’t you guys been following the stock market lately? Century Group’s stocks have been climbing against the market trend for several days now. According to rumors from the Shanghai Stock Exchange, there seems to be a power struggle within Century Group, and it appears someone wants to dethrone Li Feng."

"I’ve heard about that too, and I even bought some shares of Century Group."

"Quite bold of you, aren’t you afraid of getting stuck with them?"

"Hehe, it’s not that easy to get stuck. As you all mentioned, there’s internal strife at Century Group about the chairman position which is fierce, and the more fiercely they compete, the more recklessly they’ll buy up stocks. So, this short-term movement is stable. I’m not getting greedy—I’ll sell as soon as it hits three or five limit-up days."

Several journalists around grew interested upon hearing this.

"Let’s see what they plan to publish at the press conference today. I think it might just be Li Feng’s counterattack."

Dong Xing appeared at the venue with his team, looking down at the gathering of media and then turned to someone beside him.

"What do you guys think Li Feng will announce at today’s press conference?"

"Hey, that guy wouldn’t be thinking of surrendering, would he? I heard when Zhang Chang got wind of it, he went to meet Li Feng for a round of golf. They stayed for a while, and then this Li Feng decided to hold a press conference."

"It’s too late for surrendering now. We only accept unconditional surrender," another cocky young man said.

"I wouldn’t be so sure. Maybe Li Feng is planning to fight like a cornered beast, going all out against us," said Lan Tianfang.

"Hah, we have the money Sister Mingyue supplied. What does Li Feng have to compete against us?"
