Chapter 200: Go talk to him
"Thank you, Grandpa Ding, for your concern. Everything’s been going well. It was tiring at first when I took over grandpa’s role in managing the club, but now everything’s on track, and there’s nothing troubling anymore." Qian Duoduo replied politely to Ding Yi’s words. She had always had a good impression of Grandpa Ding and felt she absolutely had to answer him right away since he had asked.
"Duoduo, how are things with the club now?" Qian Rong was concerned about the club. Although he had a few people reporting things to him, he still wanted to hear what Duoduo had to say.
"The club is doing very well now. Our recent trip to Yuegang has helped our club gain a foothold there. As for other aspects, here’s the situation..." Hearing her grandfather ask this, Duoduo spoke candidly about the club’s internal affairs.
"Well, Duoduo is really capable, she’s truly grown up! Hahaha!" Hearing how Duoduo had meticulously managed the club’s affairs, Qian Rong was completely reassured. Entrusting the club to Duoduo had indeed been the right decision. After finishing the business talk, Qian Rong immediately remembered the personal matter. The whole reason for calling Duoduo back was to set her up with Lin Feng. How could he have forgotten such an important issue?
"Old pedant, I told Duoduo about Lin Feng, and she just refuses to believe that he could be so impressive, and said that I have been deceived without knowing it." Looking at Duoduo, then speaking to Ding Yi, Qian Rong recalled the phone conversation with Duoduo, which left him somewhat speechless. How could Duoduo think so little of him? If he were to be fooled by a youngster, his face would be lost to the skies.
"It’s all my fault, huh? What you described isn’t a person, to speak plainly, not even an Immortal could be like that. How can you expect someone to believe it?" Qian Duoduo also felt very aggrieved. After all, it was true — how could there possibly be such a remarkable person in this world, and moreover, for them to have coincidentally come across him? It simply defied belief.
"Duoduo, if you’re not busy tonight, why don’t you join us two old men for dinner, and we can have a good chat then." Ding Yi didn’t want to pick up on Qian Rong’s topic, as it was clear that Qian Rong intended to set Duoduo up to steal Lin Feng away from him. He was envious of his own grandson-in-law and insisted on getting Duoduo involved. What was this old rascal really thinking? With this on his mind, he quickly changed the subject. They couldn’t dwell on this issue any longer; such matters mustn’t be allowed to develop further.
"I won’t be able to join both of you for dinner tonight. I ran into Sister Meimei and Sister Wan’er when I got off the plane, and we’ve already agreed to have dinner together. Besides, it’s about that time, so I should be going soon." Hearing her grandpa trying to steer her toward Lin Feng again, Qian Duoduo quickly took the opportunity provided by Grandpa Ding’s words to make her exit, planning to leave quickly to avoid another lecture on Lin Feng’s virtues.
"Grandpa Ding, grandpa, I’ll be going now, but I’ll come see you tomorrow," Qian Duoduo glancing at her watch, expecting a message from Ji Yunlong any moment now, took the initiative to leave. If the two old men heard about her investigating Lin Feng, they would certainly be displeased.
"Well, alright then, Duoduo, come join us for lunch tomorrow."
"You must come tomorrow, Duoduo."
"I know, I’ll definitely come over..."
...
Qian Duoduo fled Grandpa Ding’s villa as if escaping. No sooner had she left than she received a call from Ji Yunlong,
"Chairman, the time was too short, but I’ve put together some basic information. Where should I report to you?" Ji Yunlong asked tentatively on the phone, fearful that Boss Qian would become angry. If he couldn’t handle even this task, what would Boss Qian think of him? More seriously, he could be directly dismissed from his position in Tianhai, and that would be a real disaster!
"I have to have dinner with two sisters in a bit, and I’m not familiar with Tianhai. Can you pick a place for me?" Qian Duoduo spoke calmly, devoid of any emotional tone.
"Then let’s go to Mingzhu Hotel. It’s high-class, and the taste is among the best in Tianhai. You can’t go wrong with having dinner there." Ji Yunlong thought carefully. Having dinner with two sisters would definitely require a place with good taste. There are only a few five-star hotels in Tianhai known for their cuisine, and Mingzhu Hotel was the top choice for an elegant and quiet environment. If Boss Qian was dining with the two sisters, this place was the best choice.
"Okay, let’s do that. Wait for me there." Qian Duoduo agreed nonchalantly, then hung up and hurried to Mingzhu Hotel. On her way, she didn’t forget to call her two sisters to notify them to meet at Mingzhu Hotel for a feast.
After Qian Duoduo hung up the phone, Ji Yunlong immediately called Mingzhu Hotel and booked Boss Qian’s dinner room for that evening. Then, clutching the materials he had just organized, he dashed out of his lover’s house and sped towards Mingzhu Hotel. If Boss Qian became angry, he was sure to face severe consequences.
An hour later...
"Chairman, the room has been arranged in the Peerless Hall at the top of the building. This is all we could find for now. If we had more time, perhaps we could have gathered more comprehensive information," Ji Yunlong said, greeting Qian Duoduo as she appeared in the lobby of Mingzhu Hotel. He handed her a small stack of printed papers and, with his head bowed, followed behind her, explaining as he went.
"Alright, give me the materials, and wait for me downstairs." Qian Duoduo took the documents from Ji Yunlong and entered the elevator.
"I’ll be waiting for you down here!" Ji Yunlong watched the elevator doors start to close. He felt anxious, unsure if Boss Qian would be satisfied with the information gathered. Boss Qian was notoriously strict. If Boss Qian found the materials lacking, Ji Yunlong’s fate would be unfortunate.
From the elevator to the walk to the hotel’s private room, Qian Duoduo kept reading Lin Feng’s file. The more she read, the angrier she got. Although Lin Feng seemed to be a respectable French teacher at Yingbo University, his personal life was a mess. He had ambiguous relationships with so many girls, and all of them were campus beauties. It wasn’t only at Yingbo University, there were girls from other universities as well...
Dizzying. Among them were two of her dear sisters. She couldn’t understand how her sisters had been deceived by Lin Feng. This couldn’t be right; Lin Feng definitely had a huge problem. Why weren’t the matters that Grandpa and her sisters had mentioned present in these documents? They contained only his profession as a French teacher. The rest was just about the girls Lin Feng was involved with. It was clear from these documents that Lin Feng was nothing but a deceptive fraudster. She couldn’t allow her sisters to be tricked by him, such a scammer didn’t deserve her wonderful sisters!
All the data showed was that Lin Feng was a pretty boy speaking French, deceiving girls. She couldn’t comprehend how such a pretty boy could have fooled her intelligent sisters to that extent, let alone deceive Grandpa even more and even get introduced to her. How could she swallow this indignation? She had to teach Lin Feng a lesson and then make him leave Tianhai immediately!
"Yunlong, is your brother Yunhu in Tianhai?" Qian Duoduo pondered for a moment. Lin Feng must have some skills to have impressed both her grandfather and sisters. In Tianhai, the most capable was probably Ji Yunhu, Ji Yunlong’s brother. It might be good to have Ji Yunhu teach Lin Feng a lesson so he’d leave Tianhai sooner rather than later.
"Boss, he is, he’s here!" Ji Yunlong, who was resting in the hotel lobby, was a bit stunned when he received a call from Qian Duoduo. Hadn’t Boss Qian just gone up? Why suddenly call him again, asking about his brother? What was going on?
"Have your brother come and see me. I have a task for him," Qian Duoduo commanded upon hearing that Ji Yunhu was in Tianhai. Having Ji Yunhu handle Lin Feng could easily make him leave Tianhai right away. After all, Ji Yunhu was considered one of the top fighters in Tianhai, and handling a university teacher should be as easy as slicing vegetables.
"Understood, I’ll send for him right away." Ji Yunlong, assured by Boss Qian’s order, immediately summoned his brother to rush over. Fortunately, Ji Yunhu was only a few streets away, which somewhat eased Ji Yunlong’s mind. Not everyone was aware, but the leaders of over 40 regions in China, including himself, were familiar with Boss Qian’s iron-fisted policies. No one dared any personal agendas; Boss Qian’s ’Blood Thirteen Guards’ were feared by all, an inescapable specter.
...
Ten minutes later, Ji Yunhu appeared before Qian Duoduo, breathless from his run.
"Chairman, my brother told me you have a task for me. Please give your instructions," Ji Yunhu stood at the entrance of Peerless Hall, head bowed low, as he cautiously addressed Qian Duoduo. He could hardly believe that the leader of half of China’s underworld, the ’Crimson Rose,’ stood before him. Even as his brother had told him, he had been in disbelief until it became clear it wasn’t a joke. A cold sweat broke out, and he’d raced back, arriving at this place.
"This person, go talk to him and make him leave Tianhai. Oh, and be discreet, don’t let anyone recognize you," Qian Duoduo said with satisfaction as she saw Ji Yunhu stopping just outside the door. She then handed him Lin Feng’s documents.
"Understood, I’m on it." Ji Yunhu took the documents from Qian Duoduo, ready to leave. Although everyone said the ’Crimson Rose’ was very beautiful, he hadn’t dared to glance at her. Completing the task was what mattered; everything else was unimportant.
