“All right …… elder brother you just let me go, if you keep bantering, I’ll have to find a crack in the ground, poor planning, incomplete consideration, thanks to my previous confidence, even spouting wild words to stop the cooperation between the Brilliant Group and the Boundary Peng people… … “He Hongwei shook his head and laughed bitterly.
However, Ji Feng shook his head and laughed, saying, “I don’t see it that way, I don’t think that’s wild talk, I’d say it’s more like bravado.”
Hearing this, the bitter smile on He Hongwei’s face intensified as he shook his head and said, “If the gap with reality is too big, grand words are just that, grand words!”
Originally, He Hongwei was indeed very confident, although he did not dare to say that he was determined to win, but at least he had a good idea in his mind and knew that he still had a good chance of winning this time, because what the Wu family had done was not in line with the hearts of the people.
It was precisely because of this that He Hongwei intended to use public opinion to put pressure on the Wu family.
However, He Hongwei did not anticipate that the public’s reaction would be too intense. The reports he instructed the media to send out were like a fuse that instantly ignited a powder keg.
When He Hongwei found out the reaction of the people, he immediately realised that he had taken things for granted.
And if he continued, it would probably have serious consequences. He himself might be fine, but the people who had overreacted would be out of luck.
So, after much consideration, He Hongwei finally made up his mind that he would change his plan. To put it more harshly, he was going to shoot himself in the foot!
He Hongwei decided that he would send someone to sing against himself in the media as a way to divert the attention of the people!
This would alleviate some of the people’s overwhelming anger, but the public pressure he had deliberately created before would be greatly diminished, and by then, instead of serving to put pressure on the Wu family, he, He Hongwei, would all be ridiculed by the Wu family.
He might even become a laughing stock in the entire Yanjing circle!
But He Hongwei had no choice!
He could not base his success on the sacrifice of those innocent people, so He Hongwei could only decide to give up.
However, Ji Feng shook his head and smiled at his words, “Brother Hongwei, I do think that you are too pessimistic.”
He Hongwei gave him a look, “So, you’re planning to comfort me?”
“Heh~~”
Ji Feng shook his head and laughed: “I’m afraid I have to let you down, I can’t comfort people, at most I can accompany you for a couple of drinks and a chat …… But I think, it’s not that pessimistic yet, right?”
He Hongwei asked, “Then what do you mean ……?”
Ji Feng did not rush to answer, but sat on the sofa and carefully deliberated, at the same time, the smile on his face disappeared, and his fingers tapped on the coffee table one by one.
He Hongwei seemed to have realised something, and his face suddenly turned serious, his gaze fixed on Ji Feng, road out a hint of expectation.
He knew that Ji Feng was thinking so deliberately at the moment, that he was obviously not thinking about how to admit defeat to the Wu family, much less how to punch himself in the face in the newspapers and other media!
Then, I am afraid that there is only one content for Ji Feng to be thinking so carefully – he is thinking about how to defuse the crisis at hand.
Thinking about the fact that from the very beginning, Ji Feng had never shown a nervous look, He Hongwei suddenly realised that perhaps Ji Feng had already had a way to deal with the situation, and that he was the one who was a bit confused.
No wonder this guy has been ridiculing and flirting with himself, without any semblance of disillusionment, this B*****d ……
“Swish~!”
Suddenly, Ji Feng fiercely had a flash of light in his eyes, and He Hongwei immediately asked, “What about it?”
Ji Feng pondered for a moment and asked, “Brother Hongwei, do you think …… that if a storm of public opinion really formed in the country, would the Wu family really dare to do that?”
He Hongwei nodded his head without hesitation, “I think they dare! I believe you should know more about the Wu family’s style than I do, and it would be strange if the Wu family’s people weren’t ruthless!”
“Heh~~!”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh, regarding He Hongwei’s comment about the Wu Family, he also felt that it was pertinent. If the Wu family wasn’t ruthless, their family wouldn’t be so stable.
In fact, anyone who really takes up a high position must have a certain degree of ruthlessness, because the higher the position, the more fierce the competition, and the more dangerous this process of taking up a high position is, without sufficient means, and a ruthless wrist, I am afraid that they would have been known as a stepping stone under the feet of others.
As for the military families, it is even more so.
Since ancient times, it has been said that mercy does not rule the army and righteousness does not rule money. Those who are soft-hearted will not be able to lead troops well, and the army also focuses more on their own strength and more on fighting and killing.
If you can fight your way out of a thousand armies, from a heavy siege, and then rise to the top, then the vast majority of people will obey you, because you have earned it by your own strength and means, and the military reveres the strongest.
In fact, whether it is the military or the political arena, in many ways they are all connected.
However, the ruthlessness of the Wu family is still different, and Wu Zhiyong is a typical representative.
At least, throwing dirty water on one’s own brother’s body so as to clear oneself is something that an ordinary person would never be able to do.
Perhaps Wu Zhiyong can be considered a lord, so it is understandable that he did so, but his ruthlessness is also shown to the fullest through this series of things.
So as soon as Ji Feng asked, He Hongwei nodded without hesitation, he believed that if this public opinion storm continued to develop, when the time came the Wu family would be able to do absolutely anything, as long as it was to their advantage, they would definitely do it, there was no doubt about it.
In the face of the possibility of **** the ruthlessness of the Wu family, I’m afraid the highest levels above can only acquiesce.
This is what He Hongwei is most worried about.
“But I think then that the Wu family wouldn’t dare to do that!” Ji Feng mused.
“How so?” He Hongwei asked at once, “What is your basis for thinking so?”
“Because I think that the Wu family doesn’t have that kind of guts!” Ji Feng said in a deep voice, “This is not the past, and the people are not the weak objects that could be slaughtered in the past, if the Wu family really dared to do this, not to mention that the top would not agree, even the other families would oppose it with all their might.”
Ji Feng said in a deep voice: “You surely know better than anyone, who would like to see social unrest, so even though many forces are fighting for power and profit and struggling with each other, they would rarely take advantage of the people, except for those who have bad intentions. I don’t believe then that the Wu family would dare to risk the world?!”
He Hongwei frowned, “And what if the Wu Family really dared to do so?”
He said, “Don’t you forget that even if all the other clans oppose it, the Martial Family is completely free to sacrifice someone as a scapegoat. If …… they can take this opportunity to knock us both off, perhaps the Martial Family would be willing to break even an arm ……”
“Hehe ……” Ji Feng instantly laughed.
“Don’t you laugh! It’s not that I’m arrogant, let alone that I think highly of myself, you should understand that what I’m saying is justified!” He Hongwei said.
“Well!”
Ji Feng smiled and nodded his head, saying, “I know.”
Indeed, what He Hongwei said made sense, and to put it mildly without boasting, if it was possible to beat up the important people in the third generation of the two families, the He Family and the Ji Family, in one go, the Wu Family would rather break their own arms than definitely let go of this opportunity.
In fact, if they were in their shoes, they would never miss the chance to beat up Wu Zhiyong.
What’s more, He Hongwei himself is still the leader of the third generation of the He family and is the future hope of the He family. If the Wu family could knock him off, it would be a huge profit even if they had to pay a certain price at that time.
Because once He Hongwei falls, within the next few decades, it will be difficult for the He family to find a successor who can be as good as He Hongwei, and by then, the He family will most likely fall, while the Wu family is the one that can rise strongly ……
However, Ji Feng only shook his head and smiled, saying, “The Wu family doesn’t have that ability!”
“How are you so sure?” He Hongwei asked.
“Could it be that your family will stand by and watch you being suppressed by the Wu family?” Ji Feng asked rhetorically.
He Hongwei suddenly ran out of words.
Ji Feng shook his head and said in a deep voice, “Brother Hongwei, I think you are a bit confused now. First of all, according to what you said, the scope of the public’s hot debate now is only in Yanjing, and we all know that the people in Yanjing are the most concerned about politics. As for how people elsewhere are reacting to this, we don’t know anything yet, so it’s too early to draw any conclusions. How can I put it, I come from the lowest level, so I should have a bit more say in this regard ……”
Ji Feng paused and said, “In fact, for many people, even if they know that someone has betrayed the interests of the country, at most they will only curse twice on their lips, because for many people, the most important thing is to run for their livelihood, national events, too far away from them, so the kind of public opinion storm like you said, I do not see the possibility of forming! ”
“Also, even if we are wrong in our judgement, when the time comes that the Wu family wants to strike hard, will the Ji family and the He family do nothing and just watch us plant our heads?” Ji Feng shook his head and smiled.
“Besides, even if the Wu family’s people are ruthless, but do they have the guts to do so? Unless they really want to pick two at once or even challenge more clans, but in that case, the Martial Family might end up having to lose more than just an arm!”
It was long past the time when individuals were powerful and one family was dominant. Nowadays, no family would dare to actually challenge several opponents directly, fight on two fronts, or even on multiple fronts, unless they wanted to die themselves!
Ji Feng could a*sert that the Wu family likewise wouldn’t dare!
