Ji Feng pondered for a while, but he couldn’t come up with an answer. He hadn’t had much contact with the ancient martial arts of China, and although he had fought with many ancient martial arts experts, there were none that he could exchange with, let alone someone that Ji Feng could ask for advice from.
In fact, if he could, Ji Feng really wanted to find an expert in ancient martial arts to give him some careful advice, because he had always been curious as to why the bio-currents he cultivated from practising body-building exercises would be considered by those ancient martial arts experts as internal force!
There must be something in common here!
Perhaps, it was worth studying.
But right now, there was no time and no such condition, Yang Bin had not returned yet, and among the people he knew, Shen Jingyi was the only one who knew ancient martial arts, but usually he had very few chances to meet with Shen Jingyi, for example, Zhang Lei did not bring her with him even when he came over this time.
“She’s at work!” Zhang Lei said, “It’s not like it’s break time, it’s not good to ask for leave!”
“Then we’ll have to wait for another time!” Ji Feng shook his head.
“Or else next time we’ll go to her home together, won’t you just ask the old men?” Zhang Lei said, “Jing Yi is only practicing in a step-by-step manner, I’m afraid she hasn’t studied this aspect as deeply as you have, but those old men at her home have been practicing for a lifetime, so they must have some insights, right?”
The first time I heard that, I looked at him twice suspiciously: “Lei Zi, I heard how your kid’s tone is not right ah? Wait …… are you going to meet your parents, so you’re going to bring me along?”
Zhang Lei smiled smugly, “Do you think there is such a possibility? After the last time we went together, my status in their family has risen dramatically, especially her parents look at me with great fondness, I still need to pull you up to strengthen my courage?”
Ji Feng asked, “Then why do you still want me to go to the Shen family?”
From what he knew about Zhang Lei, this guy definitely didn’t just want to give himself a chance to ask for advice.
Zhang Lei said, “Let you go to Shen’s house, it’s really because I’m too bored there!”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but laugh dumbfoundedly.
“Schadenfreude?!” Zhang Lei said with an unpleasant expression, “You kid have no humanity at all, I just can’t believe that you didn’t feel uncomfortable when you saw my parents?!”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but be stunned, and the two of them laughed heatedly at the same time.
To say the least, these two brothers share the same illness, there will always be restraint when they go to their mother-in-law’s house, no matter what their status is, unless they simply don’t look at each other in the eyes, but neither Ji Feng nor Zhang Lei is the kind of person who is high and arrogant.
“Let’s see when the time comes!”
Ji Feng had a bad smile on his face and said, “It depends on whether I have time at that time, if I have time then I will definitely accompany you, but if I’m busy at that time then there’s nothing I can do!”
Zhang Lei said, “You don’t have to do that! I’m telling you, whether you have time or not at that time, you have to go!”
Naturally, Ji Feng would not agree and just waved his hand, “We’ll talk about it then!”
However, Zhang Lei directly relied on Ji Feng and said, “It’s a deal, I’ll let you know in advance when the time comes so that you can be mentally prepared!”
Ji Feng pretended not to hear, turned around and went back to the living room and said, “Lei Zi, don’t go back tonight, let’s have a couple of drinks?”
He saw that Zhang Lei was driving over, it was not safe to drive back after drinking, anyway, the two brothers had not seen each other for a long time, so he simply did not let Zhang Lei go back.
……
“Suyan, Suyan!”
“Huh?”
Hearing the shout, Rong Suyan snapped to attention, but saw her mother waving her hand out in front of her, she hurriedly asked, “Mom, what’s wrong?”
Rong’s mother said, “Suyan, what’s wrong with you, you’re lost in thought even when you’re eating? What’s on your mind? Is the company too busy?”
Only then did Rong Suyan realise that she was eating, she hurriedly shook her head and said, “Mom, it’s nothing. I was just thinking about something, so I was a bit lost in thought.”
She only complained, “You should stop thinking about the company now that you’re home, you and your father are the same. …You can’t be like that!”
Rong Suyan couldn’t help but roll her eyes, her mother was in menopause and this talk was really getting to be too much. If it was in normal times she would have rushed to interrupt, but today, she suddenly felt that her mother’s nagging was good to listen to instead, it was like a treat for her.
Seeing Rong Peng laughing beside her, Rong’s mother couldn’t help but say, “Don’t just laugh, your daughter isn’t mine alone, she’s yours too, you should also persuade her!”
Rong Peng couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh, “You guys talk about your own, I won’t get involved!”
Rong’s mother was then exasperated enough.
Seeing this scene, Rong Suyan only felt extraordinarily warm, she then remembered her own situation and couldn’t help but feel a little cold in her heart.
After eating, Rong Suyan sat alone in the sun on the hanging chair on the first floor balcony, when she heard footsteps from behind her she turned her head to look, only to see her father walking over.
“Dad!”
Rong Suyan sat up straight.
Rong Peng came to Rong Suyan and casually pulled a wooden stool over and sat down, looking at her.
Rong Suyan was a little uncomfortable by her father’s look, and her heart was even more unsure, so she couldn’t help but ask, “Dad, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?”
“There is something!” Rong Peng nodded his head.
“What?”
Rong Suyan was stunned and hurriedly touched her hand, but found nothing. Just as she wanted to ask what it was, she heard Rong Peng say, “Girl, something is on your mind, right?”
Rong Suyan didn’t expect her father to be so perceptive, her mother hadn’t noticed anything even though she had been nagging her, but her father, who rarely spoke, had seen it!
“It’s nothing, I’m just a little upset at work!” Rong Suyan shook her head, she was reluctant to tell her father about these troubles, especially when she saw that his face was glowing and his spirits had become very good since he came to Jiangzhou, which made her even more reluctant to disturb his quiet life now.
Although Rong Suyan was also clear, in fact, her father had always been somewhat reluctant in his heart, after all, after working hard for most of his life to achieve, in exchange for the industry, just like that was taken away by the Wu family, that kind of suffocation is indeed very difficult to pa*s.
“Girl, do you think, if you had something on your mind, would dad not be able to see it?” Naturally, Rong Peng did not believe his daughter’s words.
“It’s really nothing!” Rong Suyan shook her head and smiled, making her explanation seem as natural as possible, but she also knew that she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to hide it from her shrewd old dad.
As expected, she only heard Rong Peng say, “Girl, did you encounter any difficult problems? If there’s really a problem, just tell Dad. In Jiangzhou, we’re the only family that lives together, so we should carry anything together, right?”
Rong Suyan’s nose sank and she turned her head slightly sideways, saying, “Dad, I can solve it myself.”
Rong Peng said, “If you can solve it, then you should talk to me about it, unless you think I’m too old, otherwise, Dad can help you with your advice, right? Tell me, what is the matter!”
After hesitating for a while, Rong Suyan deliberated again and again before saying, “Wu Zhiyong has come to see me!”
The smile on Rong Peng’s face instantly disappeared without a trace, replaced by a stiff look, “When did he come looking for you?”
“Today!”
Rong Suyan said, “I was in my office when he came straight to the company, at that time I didn’t think it would be him ……” She told him carefully what happened when Wu Zhiyong came looking for him, including the conversation between them, Rong Suyan also told it carefully, even if Wu Zhiyong’s tone of voice and manner of speaking at that time.
Rong Peng listened for a long time without speaking.
Only after a long while did he let out a long sigh and said, “After living most of my life, I’m still not as understanding as a young man living, how ironic!”
Rong Suyan couldn’t help but grab Rong Peng’s hand, “Dad~”
Rong Peng patted his daughter’s hand and said, “Dad is fine. I just thought of something Ji Feng said to me when I first came to Jiangzhou… I can’t imagine that I still don’t understand as well as a young man like him!”
“Ji Feng?!”
Rong Suyan was a little surprised and asked, “What did he say to you!?”
Rong Peng said, “At that time when I first came to Jiangzhou, Ji Feng had invited me to come out and join hands with him to fight against the Wu family, but I refused!”
Only then did Rong Suyan know that he was talking about this matter.
In fact, at that time, Rong Suyan knew about this matter, from the time they first came to Jiangzhou Ji Feng had invited her father to come out, but at that time, because the matter of the Wu family had Rong Peng Group had just fallen apart, so her father was in a bad mood and did not agree.
Later on, Ji Feng came a few more times one after another with a sincere attitude, but they were all rejected.
But now it seems that at that time, Rong Peng’s refusal was a bit out of order and not a good move.
“At that time I thought that Ji Feng was still young, and from the situation at that time he couldn’t represent the Ji family, if it was Ji Shaodong, the boss of the Ji family, who came to me at that time ……” Rong Peng shook his head and didn’t say anything further.
“Dad, if it was Ji Shaodong who came to you at that time, you would have said yes?” Rong Suyan asked.
“Who knows!”
Rong Peng shook his head and said, “At that time, I always thought that I had to preserve my strength, those technicians under my hands, and those executives and other talents, I didn’t want to let them go and couldn’t afford to waste them, plus I didn’t actually have complete trust in Ji Feng at that time, and felt that if I joined hands with him, I might also be swallowed by him without even a crumb. That’s why I turned him down several times!”
Speaking of this, Rong Peng couldn’t help but shake his head, now that he thought about it, he was really wrong at that time.
The development of the Tengfei Group had completely exceeded Rong Peng’s expectations, and the Wu family’s repeated defeats in front of Ji Feng and the Ji family had even made Rong Peng’s eyes drop in disbelief.
This had already made him realise his mistake, but it didn’t occur to him that before he had finished lamenting, Wu Zhiyong had found his daughter Rong Suyan.
The Wu family might be at a low ebb and might be hibernating for a while, unable to face the rising Ji family head-on, but to clean up a Rong family would be too easy.
What’s more, this time it was Wu Zhiyong himself!
Rong Peng had some regrets in his heart!
