When Ke Yiming heard his wife's words, he was filled with emotion. Just as people around the world were struggling against the mutated insects, a volcanic eruption had suddenly occurred. These volcanoes erupted simultaneously, releasing a large amount of acidic gas. Among them were supervolcanoes, which directly led to a global cooling.
Almost the entire grain production system in the Northern Hemisphere had been hit, making it impossible to buy food.
Wang Ao Ye, especially in Southeast Asia, was the most miserable. His eyesight was basically controlled within the Southeast Asian region, where he held many islands and ports. He was waiting to get rich, but unfortunately, a volcanic eruption had destroyed the entire Southeast Asia. His ten-tenths strength was now less than one-tenth.
"Let's hurry up and see Shen Feng. Don't forget we still have many tasks. If these tasks cannot be completed, then we will truly have no face to see the elders of Jiangdong," Ke Yiming said with a wry smile.
Ke Yiming's current living area was indeed in the Jiangdong region. His statement of having no face to see the elders of Jiangdong perfectly fit the current situation, because if he didn't bring the grain back, his own living area would be attacked by famine.
The reason Ke Yiming was asked to see Shen Feng was because he knew Shen Feng. They had been in contact more than ten years ago, and their relationship had become even better later on. When old friends meet, it is very easy to talk about things. This is what China calls a society of human relationships.
When Shen Feng heard the news of Ke Yiming's arrival, he already felt a headache. He knew why the other party was coming to him, not just to get food. If he refused, he would appear ungracious, but the food he had was really not enough.
In the end, Shen Feng decided to meet Ke Yiming. Whatever was to come would come, and it was impossible to avoid it. However, he needed to know the other party's intentions to respond.
When Ke Yiming appeared, he immediately said, "Oh, Lord Fengshen! I must congratulate you now, because a happy event has come to you!"
"Are you kidding me? All the news I've received recently has been bad news, and not a single piece of good news. You say good things are coming to me, I don't really believe it!" Shen Feng said.
Ke Yiming then said, "If there were no definite situation, why would I come to you? I came to you specifically to tell you a good thing!"
As he spoke, Ke Yiming found a document on his person and placed it on Shen Feng's desk. His face was full of smiles, but this smile was somewhat unnatural, showing that he was not willing to do this.
"What is this? Is it another brilliant plan? Let me tell you, I don't want to participate in any plans now. I just want to live in peace and do nothing extra!" Shen Feng said indifferently.
Ke Yiming said, "This document is very important. Once you read it, you will understand what I mean!"
Shen Feng was suspicious because he had no idea what was in this document. The entire document bag was wrapped very tightly, and it was impossible for ordinary people to snatch the information from Ke Yiming's hands. To snatch a precious document from an esper required not only courage but also corresponding strength.
After Shen Feng read the document, he was stunned on the spot because he did not expect something like this to happen to him. That is, the other party actually wanted to marry an excellent girl to his son.
"The learning experience and daily life trifles are all written down. This document is very complete. It's just that I think this young lady is a bit old, and it seems not very suitable. She is already 16 years old," Shen Feng said.
Jinling's intention now was very simple, which was to marry his daughter to Shen Feng's son, and he specifically mentioned marrying Shen Xingzhi, not Du Fansheng.
However, this would create a large age gap between the man and woman, because he calculated that the age difference between the two was four and a half years, mainly because the woman was too old.
"Isn't there a saying that goes well? Marrying a woman three years older is like holding a gold brick. It's not much older! Our eldest young lady is definitely a knowledgeable, sensible, gentle, and lovely girl. She has received strict education since childhood. Whether it is traditional Chinese culture or other foreign knowledge, she can answer them one by one. Where can you find such a girl? Moreover, with her status, marrying your son will not be a disadvantage. The two are a match made in heaven!" Ke Yiming said earnestly.
After hearing these explanations, Shen Feng naturally understood what the other party meant, but he did not want to make a decision on this matter. Because he knew that if he wanted his children to have a happy life, he should not choose too many feelings. Especially for many major events, he should let them make their own decisions, because only they know what they want. It is not the most suitable for parents to make decisions for them.
As for marriage, Shen Feng actually did not want to interfere. Because if he interfered, it would definitely make his children feel that their lives were being controlled, thus generating rebellious psychology. Instead, he hoped that these children could make their own decisions, otherwise their lives would be more boring.
However, now that the other party had come to his door, it was not appropriate not to give an answer, but he had no way to refuse.
So Shen Feng suddenly said to his secretary, "Quickly find Madam Qing Xian and ask her to come back to Fengshen Palace for dinner tonight. There is a very tricky problem that needs her to handle. Also, bring this information with you. She will understand after reading it."
The secretary quickly set off, carrying this top-secret document, and ran to the airport. She took a helicopter to the production base and then handed the document to Chang Jianyi.
Shen Feng entertained Ke Yiming and his wife, "You two are rare guests. We haven't seen each other much since we parted that year. We met a few times before, but the time we spent together was too short. Now that we meet again, we must have a good chat about family matters!"
Ke Yiming said earnestly, "Since I'm idle now, why don't I tell you about our eldest young lady's excellent qualities? I guarantee she is an excellent girl, and anyone who meets her will praise her!"
Shen Feng really didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, so he said, "You two have been traveling for a long time. Please go and rest quickly. We will talk about it tonight. I will host a banquet at Fengshen Palace to entertain you two."
When Ke Yiming saw Shen Feng's attitude, he became very nervous because he saw Shen Feng's attitude and began to doubt whether he could complete this arduous task.
Shen Feng first used the tactic of delaying, then the tactic of asking guests to leave, clearly indicating that he did not want to discuss this matter further.
Now Ke Yiming dared not say anything more and could only leave silently. Because he had also seen many documents on Shen Feng's desk, if he continued to pester him now, he would completely enrage the other party.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Ke Yiming was worried. This matter was not going smoothly, and there would definitely be more trouble in the future. How should he complete the task? He needed to consider all possible methods.
On the side, Gu Yanxiao slowly said, "You don't need to worry about this matter. I have a way to make Shen Feng agree to our request next, because I still hold a handle on him! If he still doesn't agree, then I will be impolite!"
When Ke Yiming heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he asked, "What kind of handle is it? Tell me quickly, so that we can have more initiative in the upcoming negotiations. Tell me quickly!"
Ke Yiming did not expect his wife to be able to do such a thing. Who could hold the handle of the legendary Fengshen? Only Gu Yanxiao could do this.
However, Gu Yanxiao now said, "It's just that I can't tell you about this. In short, at the critical moment, I will hint at Shen Feng. As for you, don't interrupt! If I tell you about this, it will not be a secret anymore, because your mouth is too big, and you dare to spread any news. It will anger Shen Feng then!"
Ke Yiming didn't know what to say when he heard this, but he still agreed to his wife's request.
Chang Jianyi's eyes lit up when she saw this document, and then she directly used her abilities, causing plants to grow wildly. Soon, all the greenhouses were filled with crops. These crops were golden and ready for harvest.
"Luo Qing, you stay here and supervise their work. Don't let them be lazy. Hurry up and harvest these crops, and then process them into food. These foods will also be supplied to other places!" Chang Jianyi handed over the matters here to her bodyguard.
After that, Chang Jianyi took a helicopter and headed directly towards Yuzhou. In just over ten minutes, she arrived in Yuzhou city and then went straight to her destination.
"I have carefully read this document, and I can confirm that the girl introduced in this document is absolutely excellent, and her status is also suitable for our son. Therefore, I think this matter can be settled like this," Chang Jianyi said earnestly.
In fact, Chang Jianyi had considered her children's future a lot, and she had also thought about her son's marriage for a long time, but she had not found a suitable girl under normal circumstances, so this matter had been shelved.
When Chang Jianyi was younger, she always wanted to interfere in her younger brother's marriage, finding a better and more suitable girl for him to marry. But she didn't expect her younger brother to grow up and refuse her decision even by eloping. So in the end, she had to accept it. Hua Jingran had indeed performed well during the years he was in charge of the household, but now her son was facing the same situation, and she was determined to arrange it herself.
"I actually think we don't need to worry so much about this matter. Let the children choose the partners they want to be with. If we make decisions for the children in everything, then our education is too much of a failure, because we cannot manage the children's lives!" This was Shen Feng's statement.
But Chang Jianyi was dissatisfied and said, "Can you not treat our child as an ordinary person? If it were a child from an ordinary family, and you and I were ordinary people, then we would naturally let the child pursue the person they like, because we can't do anything else. But now, our status determines that the child cannot be treated as an ordinary person after coming out. The girl by his side must be an extraordinary girl of high status! The daughter of Zhou Yayun is this object!"
Shen Feng argued, "But the child knows what he wants and how to make choices. We shouldn't interfere too much."
"Enough, you always have this attitude. I don't expect you to make any good decisions. In short, I will arrange this matter," Chang Jianyi said.
"Then have you considered what to do if other situations arise later? What if the other party requires us to provide a large dowry? What if this dowry is a large amount of grain? We are already severely lacking in grain, and if we have to give away grain again, it will be even more difficult. The people under us will also have opinions!" Shen Feng said.
