The fact that someone borrowed from He Hongwei and wanted to hit on the Tengfei Group’s new chrome alloy was in itself a rather harsh signal.
But He Hongwei even agreed to it!
What impression would this give to the outside world?
Han Zhong and Zhao Kai were not too comfortable, He Hongwei was sitting here, Ji Feng was inviting him for a drink, and he was even calling him brother, and yet he did such a thing!
He Hongwei is a top magistrate, Han Zhong and Zhao Kai are naturally not qualified to accuse him of anything, but, this kind of practice of He Hongwei still makes them very unhappy, so, Han Zhong, who wanted to toast He Hongwei, also put down the gla*s in his hand without a trace.
He Hongwei was already helping others to fight for the new chrome alloy, so what was the point of toasting him? What’s the point of toasting him?
Zhao Kai also just lit a cigarette and slowly smoked it. He put down his chopsticks that he had been eating, and his eyelids were lowered, as if he had suddenly become listless, but in fact he was thinking of countermeasures.
Compared to Han Zhong, Zhao Kai is a bit more feminine, so he can think more calmly when he encounters things, and he is also more resourceful.
For example, while Han Zhong’s face was obviously unhappy, Zhao Kai’s face was not too obvious, and he even hid his eyes so that people could not see him clearly.
Zhao Kai was thinking that no matter what exactly He Hongwei’s intentions were, since he was here now, there was always a way out.
Besides, even if there was no way to stop it, he would still be able to learn more from He Hongwei!
Subconsciously, Zhao Kai glanced at Ji Feng, he wanted to see what Ji Feng meant.
If Ji Feng had a hint, then he would definitely do everything he could to calculate He Hongwei once, or at least find a way to grab some of He Hongwei’s handles, he couldn’t just let someone hit him for nothing.
However, what made Zhao Kai a little disappointed was that Ji Feng did not have any unexpected look after hearing He Hongwei’s words, not even a half-excited look, he just smiled and chucked the food and chewed slowly.
“Who is it?” Ji Feng asked casually.
“I can’t say.” He Hongwei shook his head and said, “Originally, I didn’t agree to this, and I did persuade, but it couldn’t be helped, the other party didn’t listen to me.”
“Then what kind of power did he borrow from you?” Ji Feng asked.
“An operation team, and some funds.” He Hongwei said, “Because I once owed the other party a favour, there was no way, I had to pay it back, otherwise my heart was uneasy.”
“Understood.” Ji Feng faintly nodded his head.
Han Zhong, however, couldn’t help but hum and secretly said, “You owe a favor to someone and your heart is uneasy if you don’t return it, don’t you owe a favor to Ji Feng? Even if you don’t owe it, but now you are eating and drinking from Ji Feng, yet you are still helping others to deal with him, is this also called being righteous?”
It was just that, due to the face, it was not good for Han Zhong to say this directly. However, his attitude was already very clear.
“Old brother, looking at your reaction you don’t seem to be very surprised?” He Hongwei asked in a somewhat strange manner.
“Why should I be surprised?” Ji Feng smiled, “Are you surprised that someone is playing with the idea of the new chrome alloy? Or is it surprise that you, He Hongwei, are helping others to deal with me?”
“Shouldn’t it be surprised by both?” He Hongwei asked.
Ji Feng shook his head and smiled, saying, “There’s nothing to be surprised about! After the new chrome alloy was developed, I had already predicted that there would definitely be people who would have eyes for it, and there would definitely be people who couldn’t sit still, so it really doesn’t surprise me at all when you say that someone is playing with this aspect.”
After a pause, Ji Feng added: “As for the matter of you lending your power to others …… since you told me so clearly, it proves that you didn’t intend to get involved in it, and you lent it out just to return the favor, right?”
Ji Feng smiled faintly: “Since that’s the case, then what’s surprising to me? I haven’t forgotten, those three cups of wine just now, one of them you had said that you hoped to continue to join forces in the future, I don’t have amnesia, how could I not remember? If say one day you, He Hongwei, suddenly turn your guns against me, I might be a bit surprised at that time!”
“……”
He Hongwei pursed his lips, nodded heavily and said, “Ji Feng, old brother is convinced!”
Ji Feng’s atmospheric performance really gave He Hongwei a genuine feeling of admiration, and even He Hongwei thought that if he were replaced with Ji Feng, the sudden moment he heard that someone was trying to deal with him, and even a feeling of being betrayed, it would definitely not be too comfortable.
But Ji Feng is completely calm, almost without any emotional fluctuations, just this great atmosphere is enough to make He Hongwei admire.
Not to mention Ji Feng’s generosity and calmness!
“Don’t worry, old brother, I, He Hongwei, won’t say anything about swearing, but I’ll take note of what happened today and these words of yours.” He Hongwei said.
“Words are too much.”
Ji Feng waved his hand with a smile and said, “In fact, if it were me, I would probably have made the same decision as you. Alright, let’s not talk about that and drink.”
Regarding He Hongwei’s approach, Ji Feng was very understanding.
Having owed someone a favour that he couldn’t refuse, he definitely had to return it, there was no excuse for that.
Moreover, Ji Feng also believed that He Hongwei must have persuaded the person who had hit on the new chrome alloy to not do so, or wanted him to change his mind, but he just didn’t succeed.
This is not the fault of He Hongwei.
Besides, He Hongwei was open and honest in what he did, putting everything on the table and saying it clearly, and also saying that he did not do anything to anyone, but only because he owed the other party a favour and had to return it!
The reason why he did this was simply because he owed the other party a favor and had to pay it back! With the deceitfulness in this society nowadays, it is not easy to be able to do what He Hongwei did.
So Ji Feng is happy to continue to treat He Hongwei as a friend, because with such a person as a friend, even if he betrays you one day, he will let you know in advance that he is going to betray you, and he will also let you know why, and will remind you to be prepared.
Just for this point alone, I don’t know how many times better than others!
So, instead of feeling annoyed, Ji Feng was a little relieved.
At least, He Hongwei was a friend he had not made for nothing, and it was not in vain that they had fought side by side.
However, compared to Ji Feng’s other friends, he did not have too deep a relationship with He Hongwei, not compared to the friendship with Du Shaofeng and Han Zhong, not compared to the kindness with Zhao Kai, not to mention the detrimental friend with Zhang Lei, who had a life-long friendship.
Ji Feng and He Hongwei are considered a gentleman’s friendship!
In fact, before he came, he even thought that Ji Feng might turn against him, which was definitely not what he wanted to see, but he couldn’t not return the favor, and besides, he really wanted to have a drink with Ji Feng, so he still came with a hard head.
And, out of respect for his friend and the desire to make Ji Feng a friend, He Hongwei told the truth after three consecutive toasts.
The result was completely beyond He Hongwei’s expectation, Ji Feng was magnificent!
This made He Hongwei worship and his mood stirred!
“Older brother, you’re a man of no words!” He Hongwei gave a thumbs up and said, “This matter is ultimately old brother’s fault, so I’ll punish myself with three gla*ses.”
“It’s better to join in.” Ji Feng smiled and stopped him, “There’s not that much preaching between friends.”
“Good! Together!”
He Hongwei nodded heavily, then held his cup again and said to Han Zhong and Zhao Kai, “Two brothers, take one together, you are Ji Feng’s friends, and in the future, you will also be my He Hongwei’s friends ……”
This time, He Hongwei drank a lot, although it is not to say that it is as drunk as mud, but also eight`s and nine`s of drunkenness, walking all wobbly.
However, this is perhaps also the most emotional time that He Hongwei drank, especially towards the end, he drank with a lot of emotion.
Ji Feng was also slightly drunk, he did not use bio-currents to break down the alcohol in his body, that would also lose the feeling of drinking, as a young man, Ji Feng actually likes to have a couple of drinks, not to mention that he was in a good mood today.
At the end of the day, He Hongwei already needed help to walk, Han Zhong and Zhao Kai did not drink much, they helped He Hongwei out together with Ji Feng, and when they arrived at the door, they saw He Hongwei’s little flat-headed bodyguard leaning against the marble pillar at the entrance, looking at everything around him warily.
When he saw Ji Feng and the three of them helping He Hongwei out, the little flat head hurriedly went forward to support He Hongwei and said, “Thank you, young Ji.”
Ji Feng didn’t argue with him either, but walked ahead and said, “Come with me, next to the hotel, arrange for him to sleep first.”
He Hongwei said sleepily, “I’m not drunk, old brother, we can still keep drinking.”
Ji Feng laughed: “If you drink any more, you’ll be afraid you’ll go bald under the table …… Let’s go.”
The first thing you need to do is to get a hotel not far from the villa area, and Ji Feng gave them a suite so that it would also be convenient for the little flat head to protect He Hongwei, now that He Hongwei is drunk, it can be said that he has no ability to protect himself, while Ji Feng is aware that the people who want He Hongwei’s life are not much less than those who want his own life, so he made special arrangements.
At this time, it was obvious that He Hongwei was completely drunk.
However, as Ji Feng was about to leave, He Hongwei still managed to barely maintain a trace of sobriety and called out to Ji Feng.
“Older brother!”
“What’s wrong?” Ji Feng turned around and asked.
“That person’s surname is Han, he comes from the Northeast and is barely a member of this circle, but he is black-hearted and does things by any means necessary, you must be careful!” He Hongwei said.
“I know.” Ji Feng faintly nodded his head.
“Always beware, back then I owed him a favor, it might be a bureau he made ……” He Hongwei said vaguely.
“Eh?”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but be stunned and turned around violently, but he saw that He Hongwei was already completely drunk ……
