Chapter 940: Chapter 940: Let Me Guess
"Yuqing, Linda, could you step outside for a moment? I need to speak with Li Feng alone."
"Okay!"
Su Yuqing and Jiang Linda nodded, turned around and left the office with Bai Yuting.
The office door was closed.
Li Feng reached out and wrapped his arm around Wang Jin’er’s waist, pulling her onto his lap as they sat on the sofa. Wang Jin’er glanced at Li Feng with a blush on her face.
"You’re so annoying."
"Stop messing around, I have serious matters to discuss with you."
"Alright, I’m listening."
"Don’t get mad at what I’m about to say."
Wang Jin’er said.
Li Feng looked at Wang Jin’er, curling his lips: "Let me guess what you’re planning to say. No, actually, I should be guessing what your father wants to say!"
Wang Jin’er’s eyelashes fluttered.
"How did you know?"
Li Feng laughed: "Of course I know, because your father and I are actually the same kind of person."
"Hmm, I think your father wants you to carry a message, probably asking if what I said before still counts."
Wang Jin’er nodded, actually finding it difficult to voice this question herself; Li Feng’s words made her feel much more comfortable.
"I’ve already got people preparing for this. Isn’t Su Yuqing studying law? Right now, someone’s taking her to look at the drawn-up clauses."
"What I, Li Feng, say naturally wouldn’t be a lie. What’s yours is yours."
Wang Jin’er’s face showed a bit of embarrassment.
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll turn my back on you?"
Li Feng looked at Wang Jin’er: "My woman, who dares to touch?"
Wang Jin’er playfully glanced at Li Feng and snorted: "My dad didn’t just say this one thing, there’s more."
Li Feng hummed and pondered: "I bet my father-in-law is definitely sending quite a few people to help you out."
"What else?"
Still skeptical that Li Feng could actually guess everything, Wang Jin’er continued asking.
"Hmm, the rest might be encouraging you to stay reserved, not be lured by my charms and end up helping me count money after being sold."
Wang Jin’er, listening to Li Feng’s words, blushed like a sunset and swung her pink fist at Li Feng: "Pah, shameless, talking about charm strategy."
However, hearing Li Feng say these things, Wang Jin’er’s mood lightened considerably. After all, she didn’t care about these things; if she were truly attached to them, she wouldn’t have advised her father to give up on letting her inherit the Wang Family.
After all, the Wang Group has billions in assets; if she really liked money, she could have clung tightly to it.
"Stop it, it’s the office."
"Don’t worry, without my orders, no one will come in."
"Besides, there are secrets in this office. Let me show you around."
"Hmm?"
Wang Jin’er was scooped up horizontally by Li Feng, heading straight for the secret suite behind the office bookshelves.
"It’s confirmed that Wang Jin’er has gone to Li Feng’s company."
Wang Mingrui put down the phone and confirmed the news, looking up at several cousins in the study.
Wang Mingyang set down his teacup, grinning.
"Didn’t expect uncle to actually let Wang Jin’er go. Wasn’t he firmly against her being with Li Feng before? What’s that supposed to mean, agreeing for Wang Jin’er to marry over?"
"If that’s the case, it’s good news for us. Wang Jin’er getting married means she has less claim to inherit the Wang Family, and uncle only has Wang Jin’er, a single daughter."
"So who will inherit the Wang Family, haha!"
Wang Mingyang said, turning to look at his cousins, implying that since uncle’s main branch has no heirs, they can only choose one among them for succession.
The few present naturally all had this thought, but weren’t about to openly state it.
"No need to think, of course the eldest from second uncle’s family is the most suitable."
Wang Mingying directly nominated Wang Mingrui, he and Wang Mingrui are brothers, but he’s a bit younger, being the youngest in the second branch with an elder sister.
"Haha, who will inherit and who won’t isn’t up to us; it’s ultimately uncle’s decision."
"That’s not necessarily true. For the family head of the Wang Family, I believe it’s the capable that should reside."
"Hmph."
Beside them, Wang Mingcheng sneered: "You might want to save it. You, capable? You’re skilled at womanizing and gambling, letting you lead would probably squander even the coffin funds."
"You!"
"What, did I say something wrong?"
"Alright, what’s with all the arguing. This matter hasn’t even begun, even if uncle let Jin’er go to Li Feng’s company, he hasn’t talked about the successor. As long as uncle hasn’t mentioned anything, our plotting is useless."
Wang Mingrui interrupted the conversation.
"True, Li Feng’s reliability is still unknown."
"Who knows, but that guy did make a fortune selling Century Group, buying Federation Coin’s diamonds by the tens of billions, and even gifting them all to Wang Jin’er."
"Regarding this, my sister didn’t spare me her temper."
"Li Feng might not have other talents, but he’s adept at cozying up to women for benefits. Before, he wouldn’t even provide convenience for us. Otherwise, we could have made a tidy sum."
Bringing up this matter, the Wang Family sons present all looked grim. They originally wanted to seize an opportunity to tear a piece from Century Group, thinking Li Feng would show face due to their status.
The result?
"Hmph, this Li Feng isn’t material for running a company. If he were capable, Century Group wouldn’t have gone bankrupt less than half a year after his takeover, which can only mean he lacks the ability to manage."
"Now he’s having Jin’er as president, probably aware of his limitations. But opening a company isn’t something money alone can achieve."
"Hmm, that’s true."
"Let’s watch. I suppose uncle is having Jin’er over there to assess the situation. I do hope the company succeeds, then we have a better chance at inheritance rights."
"Looks doubtful, but let’s wait and see."
The Wang Family brothers all had various thoughts, yet held a single stance: they were stepping back to observe.
And not just them, the family heads of Wang’s other branches made the same choice.
"Sign this, and you become the major shareholder and president of New Century Group."
Li Feng said.
Su Yuqing nodded beside them, Wang Jin’er didn’t even look over thoroughly, directly signing her name.
"Next is the press conference for New Century Group’s establishment, Jiang Linda will manage this for Myth Communication."
Jiang Linda nodded: "Okay."
"As for the company, it’s all up to you, sweetheart. Do whatever you want; I’m all ears."
Li Feng turned to look at Wang Jin’er, whose face was still flushed.
Wang Jin’er squinted her eyes at Li Feng but didn’t object: "I’d like to understand the company first."
"As I said, you’re the president. It’s all yours."
Jiang Linda and Su Yuqing watched Li Feng, knowing well he’s adopting his hands-off shopkeeper style again, an attitude they were quite familiar with.
Nonetheless, Su Yuqing admired Li Feng’s willingness to entrust all major decisions of the new company to Wang Jin’er, as the budding New Century Group had remarkable potential.
This wasn’t an empty shell company.
In the following days, the news of New Century Group’s establishment spread quickly, and invitations were sent out.
"New Century Group?"
HY’s Liu Chengfeng also got wind of it, primarily due to information from private detectives.
