Chapter 171 This is obviously an Immortal!
No wonder she knew so much and enjoyed talking business with me. It turned out that despite her youth, she was already a renowned expert, a master with the status of Sect Leader of Cloud Fund. That alone was enough to crush those so-called business prodigies!
"Let’s leave it at that for now. I’ll head back to my room, and you should get some sleep too." Lin Feng saw his mother’s reaction and was very understanding. After all, anyone would be stunned by this news and would need time to digest it. Only once it was digested could one maintain a good state of mind. He decided it was best not to disturb his mother any further.
Zhang Lan seemed to have not heard her son’s words; her mind was still swirling with the phrase, "Chu Meng is the Sect Leader of Cloud Fund, Chu Meng is the Sect Leader of Cloud Fund, Chu Meng is the Sect Leader of Cloud Fund..."
...
During their stay in Tianhai City, Qian Rong and Ding Yi saw nothing but Lin Feng’s strengths. The two of them discussed Lin Feng all day long, and the more they talked, the more they saw Lin Feng as a dragon among men, a rare talent. In his heart, Qian Rong felt incredibly jealous of Ding Yi; why could Ding Yi have Lin Feng as his future grandson-in-law, but not him?
No, I, as a grandfather, accidentally led my granddaughter Duoduo down the wrong path, turning a fine young lady into the boss of a gang. People tremble at the sight of her. If I can’t find Duoduo a suitable partner, how could I even call myself a human being?
I must call Duoduo over to meet Lin Feng and find a way to match her with him. Only Lin Feng would be worthy of our Duoduo!
"Hello, Duoduo? It’s Grandpa. Where are you right now?" When he found a moment of privacy, Qian Rong called Qian Duoduo’s phone. He had already tried many times before without an answer. To be honest, having been out in Tianhai City for a while, he really missed his extremely capable granddaughter.
The reason Qian Duoduo was considered capable was that, in the two years since she took over, she had reformed the original gang into a registered corporation, applying Hong Kong’s gang group and corporate management methods. Moreover, she had decided to follow a strategy of going the elite route. Now, everyone in the company had a formal and legal identity; they all dressed in suits and ties, distancing themselves from the traditional idea of a gang covered in tattoos. According to Duoduo, they had to keep pace with the world’s gangs.
If her people were divided into nine ranks, everyone working at the company would be at least level five. The street ruffians were at the lowest levels beneath them. This had allowed them to shake off the traditional gangster image and enable their organization to grow and flourish. Therefore, every time Qian Rong thought of his granddaughter, he couldn’t stop smiling. He had built his empire with great difficulty, and under Duoduo’s leadership, it was shining even brighter. How could he not be happy?
Qian Duoduo sat alone in the bar of the Yuegang Hotel, wearing a black suit. She held a glass of red wine in one hand, swirling it continuously as she savored it sip by sip. Her stunningly beautiful face was filled with doubt as she planned carefully for her trip to Yuegang. This trip was a must, and she had to ensure it was as thoroughly planned as possible.
From a distance, Qian Duoduo looked like a mysterious and enchanting black rose, attracting the attention of many in the bar. However, no one dared to approach for a chat because everyone saw the dozen or so strong men in black not far from Qian Duoduo. It was obvious that this woman was not to be trifled with; no one wanted to risk their life just to hit on a beauty.
Suddenly, a melodious ringtone sounded from Qian Duoduo’s phone. Seeing the caller ID, a smile finally appeared on her face because the call was from Grandpa, her favorite person.
"Grandpa, we were just on the plane and didn’t hear your call. How are you feeling? When will you come back to help Duoduo?" Hearing her grandfather’s voice, Qian Duoduo was overjoyed. Ever since she was little, she had lived with her grandfather, and although he had now retired and handed over all his responsibilities to her, Grandpa was still her Grandpa, and she would always think of him, just as he always thought of her.
"Duoduo, where are you heading?" As soon as Qian Rong heard his granddaughter mention a plane, he immediately became anxious. Where was she going that she needed to take a plane? It must be somewhere quite distant. Now his wish to bring Duoduo to Tianhai was dashed again. If she flew so far away, how could I find her!
"It’s nothing, just going to Yuegang for some business." Qian Duoduo didn’t want her grandfather to worry, so she disclosed her location. She knew her grandfather well – it was best to be straightforward with him, as he was less likely to become suspicious.
"Yuegang? Don’t tell me you’re thinking of ’the daring dragon crossing the river’?" When Qian Rong heard Qian Duoduo mention Yuegang, he immediately became frantic. Throughout history, countless organizations had tried to force their way into Yuegang, but none ended well. Although their organization had been flourishing in the past two years, Yuegang was still Yuegang—the stronghold of established gangs. Trying to get a foothold there was like reaching for the sky!
"Grandpa, I do intend to be that daring dragon. Our organization has hit a bottleneck and we need to expand overseas, starting with Yuegang as our base. It’s an unavoidable fact!" Qian Duoduo was firm in her belief. She knew that to gain a foothold in Yuehai required significant influence; otherwise, they’d be confined to the slums. But now, with the organization at a bottleneck, they had to break free from the old path and carve out a new road overseas in order to preserve their strength under the increasingly stringent domestic conditions.
"Ah, forget it. I won’t meddle. But when will you come and see Grandpa in Tianhai?" Upon hearing Duoduo speak this way, Qian Rong felt quite helpless. Since he had handed all responsibilities over to Duoduo, it wasn’t right for him to intervene in such matters anymore, especially considering how capable she had been since a young age. He felt very relieved to leave the organization in her hands. His descendants would make their own blessings, so there was no need for him to worry excessively.
However, with Duoduo going to Yuegang, it seemed she wouldn’t be back anytime soon. So, what about Lin Feng? With Duoduo away, how could I play matchmaker? With someone like Lin Feng, if you’re not careful, he might be snatched away by someone else. And then I would truly regret it.
"Why don’t you come back, Grandpa?" Qian Duoduo found her grandfather’s words peculiar. Lately, why was he always urging her to visit him? She wondered what he was really getting at.
"Heh, Duoduo, Grandpa has found a fine young man for you here in Tianhai. When you have the time, come and meet him!" Qian Rong didn’t hold back, having coaxed his granddaughter for a long time without her visiting Tianhai. With his patience worn thin, he decided to lay it all out today. He knew what his granddaughter was like—she wouldn’t mind a straightforward approach, after all, he was the one who had raised her from a young age.
"Grandpa, you know the standards your granddaughter has set. Who could possibly meet them?" When Qian Duoduo heard her grandfather wanted to introduce her to a boyfriend, she found it quite amusing. She had set strict criteria for a boyfriend: he had to be stronger than her and able to withstand the pressure of leading the organization, no missing either of the conditions. For boys around her age, it was impossible to find someone meeting both.
"My granddaughter, the young man I am talking about is Lin Feng. I have been discussing him with Grandpa Ding every day since I’ve been in Tianhai, and I’ve taken a real liking to him. That’s why I want to introduce him to you. You don’t know, but he truly is a dragon among men. Here’s the situation..." As soon as Qian Rong heard Duoduo’s response, he hastily seized the opportunity to describe everything about Lin Feng, eager for his granddaughter to hear what kind of person he was recommending. How could Lin Feng not be suitable for her?
This was precisely why I came to Tianhai; otherwise, I would never believe there could be someone as outstanding as Lin Feng. Given Lin Feng’s conversation and upbringing, his potential for future development is immeasurable. Add in his exceptional skills, calling him a prodigy would be an understatement!
"Grandpa, are you sure this person is still human? He sounds more like an immortal! Even when praising someone, you don’t need to exaggerate to this degree, right?" Listening to her grandfather, Qian Duoduo mentally pegged Lin Feng as someone who was buttering up her grandfather. Only someone who had utterly bamboozled Grandpa could make such exaggerated compliments. One moment he’s supposed to be more skilled than Grandpa, enough to handle himself against me, the next he’s a university professor teaching French, then a national chess player even Grandpa Leng can’t beat, and then a Sacred Hand of traditional medicine, before whom Grandpa Chen bows in defeat. Having any one of these skills would already make one a genius, yet Grandpa claims Lin Feng has them all. If someone really had all these abilities, would he still be human? How could anyone achieve that!
"Duoduo, Grandpa isn’t joking. This young man is as outstanding as I say; you’ll understand once you meet him!" Qian Rong, realizing his granddaughter’s reluctance and that she wouldn’t come to Tianhai to see Lin Feng for herself, became anxious. A remarkable person like Lin Feng shouldn’t be casually dismissed—once this chance slips away, it won’t come by again. If I weren’t certain of Lin Feng’s exceptional qualities, I wouldn’t be so insistent on getting my granddaughter to meet him!
But why can’t she understand my intentions? As a grandfather, I naturally want the best for my granddaughter. If Lin Feng wasn’t so exceptional, how could I ever consider entrusting Duoduo to him?
