Chapter 367 - 190: God of Investment? (Part 2)
Zheng Lihua quickly explained, "Nothing happened, how could anyone bully Young Master Li?"
At this moment, Li Dengfeng and Cheng Xinyu ran over and exaggeratedly recounted the situation to their father.
The guests started to murmur.
"Who is that?"
"Li Dengfeng’s dad, Li Xiang, known as the God of Investment. He started his business with only 30,000 yuan, and now he controls three billion-dollar funds."
"Wow! So that’s Li Xiang? Did Li Dengfeng call his dad over to have a showdown with the groom’s side?"
"Stop kidding, the groom’s side has Shield Security Group, which is more than enough to crush them. Li Xiang’s only role here is to safely take Li Dengfeng away. He’s not of any other use."
...
Chen Xing noticed that Li Dengfeng was obviously distorting the facts and hurried to speak the truth.
Li Dengfeng glared at Chen Xing and said, "Don’t think that just because you know these people, you can act arrogantly in front of me. No matter how many big shots you know, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re just a ride-share driver. Unless I decide not to make a scene, I don’t believe they would fall out with us over you!"
Chen Xing was indeed intimidated by Li Dengfeng’s words and didn’t dare to argue with him.
These people were all invited by Yang Chen, and Chen Xing wasn’t clear about his relationship with them. He didn’t want to anger Li Dengfeng or cause trouble for Yang Chen.
Li Xiang chuckled and said, "It’s just a small issue. Let me go have a chat with them."
Li Xiang walked over to the groom’s family area and greeted Huang Lvxie, Qiu Yuhong, Xue Yinong, and Zhang Xiang.
Li Xiang wasn’t very familiar with them but had seen them at some major business events.
They recognized each other’s faces, but there was no real acquaintance.
However, that was enough. Knowing each other’s identities was sufficient.
Li Xiang patted his son’s shoulder and said to Qiu Yuhong and the others, "This is my son, Li Dengfeng. It’s normal for young people to have conflicts. Who didn’t have a bit of a temper when they were young? I hope you can give me some face and let it go, alright?"
Li Dengfeng immediately said, "Dad, you got it wrong. I have no grudge against them, it’s that ride-share driver asking for trouble."
Li Xiang shot his son a glare, then smiled and told Qiu Yuhong and the others, "Kids are young and impulsive; please don’t mind him. Today is Chairman Zheng’s happy day, so we won’t stay and cause any trouble. Please enjoy the rest of your evening; we’ll be leaving now."
Qiu Yuhong and the others nodded with a smile but didn’t respond to him further.
Li Xiang put his arm around his son and left.
Zheng Lihua and Chen Xing hurried to escort them out of the hotel before returning.
Li Dengfeng complained, "Dad, what are you doing? I called you over to stand up for me, not to walk away with me! If I wanted to leave, I could have done that by myself earlier. Why would I need to call you over?"
Li Xiang angrily stared at his son, saying, "Qiu Yuhong and the others are here for the groom, and that ride-share driver is the groom’s friend. If you start a fight here today, it’ll inevitably lead to a conflict with Qiu Yuhong and the others. Can’t you think a bit? We can easily deal with a ride-share driver, so why make it harder by getting into a conflict with people like Qiu Yuhong? Once today is over, you can deal with him at your own pace. Qiu Yuhong and the others are friends of the groom, not that ride-share driver. I don’t believe they’d go against us over such a connection."
Li Dengfeng suddenly felt enlightened and smiled, saying, "You’re right, Dad, you’ve got the experience."
Beside him, Cheng Xinyu also chimed in flattering, "Uncle sure has a lot of worldly experience."
Li Dengfeng chuckled and said, "Alright, I’ve got things to do, so I’m leaving. You guys have fun."
Li Dengfeng and Cheng Xinyu saw Li Xiang off, then went to the shopping area to buy things.
After the wedding banquet ended, Yang Chen sent off Ju Yiyi and the others and called Qiu Yuhong and the rest to the CEO’s office.
Huang Lvxie then learned that Yang Chen, besides acquiring shares of the Haiyalantis Hotel, also had shares in Shield Security and Zhang Sanfeng Law Firm, and was good friends with Xue Yinong.
It seemed that the ride-share driver role was just a facade; Yang Chen’s true identity was definitely not simple.
Huang Lvxie said, "Mr. Yang, why didn’t you reveal your identity earlier? You could have taken him down easily! After hearing the whole ordeal from your ride-share driver friends, I was so angry I nearly wanted to go up and smack those jerks."
Yang Chen laughed and explained, "Today is Chen Xing’s big day, and I didn’t want to make a scene at his wedding banquet. But Li Dengfeng was too cocky and wanted to slap me twice. I won’t just let this issue slide. Does anyone here know Li Dengfeng’s background?"
Zhang Xiang said, "I know. Li Dengfeng graduated from Harvard and spent some time in Luoshanji before returning last year. His father gave him 2 billion to play with. He’s known for showing off, can’t be bothered with ordinary projects, and insists on doing high-tech or big projects. He doesn’t actually have much ability himself; it’s mainly his father Li Xiang who’s impressive. Li Xiang took 30,000 yuan into the stock market decades ago and, over 20 years, achieved the feat of controlling three billion-dollar-level funds. That’s really something, and he’s known as the God of Investment in the investment circle. Many wealthy people directly give him their money, letting him manage it however he wants, as long as the annual dividend doesn’t fall below 30%. But since he’s titled the God of Investment, he’s selective about whose funds he takes. Many big shots, not just from the business world but also from the political sphere, have thrown money his way, and he doesn’t touch it. So... Li Xiang is a bit tricky to deal with, but Li Dengfeng is no big deal."
