Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 250: Did I Hear It Wrong?

"Lin Feng, are you telling the truth? Lin Family Village doesn’t have to be demolished?" Lin Xueyou couldn’t quite believe his own ears. It hadn’t been long since Lin Feng had made a phone call, and in just over half an hour, he’d already found someone willing to buy Yuegang Zhenqiang Company. Lin Feng is so capable!

They had just said that the funds needed for such an acquisition were enormous, practically astronomical. Under these circumstances, for Lin Feng to still find someone to buy Yuegang Zhenqiang Company seemed impossible. Yet Lin Feng had made the impossible a reality. He’s just too... too incredible!

"Son..." Lin Yiwen looked at his son, at a loss for words. Ever since his son returned, he had continuously brought one surprise after another. But none of the surprises had been as big as this one. This was the acquisition of a publicly traded company! To be blunt, not many people in Yuegang could pull off something like this, let alone one who just with a word could buy out a listed company.

Shen Yao’s father must be incredibly powerful—probably one of Yuegang’s super-wealthy tycoons. How did his son get to know such a high-level tycoon? Logically, there’s no way his son, a university professor, could cross paths with such a wealthy magnate. It just doesn’t make sense!

But the reality was right before them, leaving him no choice but to believe it. His son had never bragged before, and this event must definitely be true. Now, he was even starting to doubt if this person was the same son he’d known—the son who had nonchalantly thrown out over ten million to start a company for his wife, subsequently established a huge chemical enterprise with a formula, and now was even able to have one of Yuegang’s super-wealthy tycoons buy a publicly traded company as if it was nothing. Was this the same prodigal son he had known? The changes in his son since he came back were simply overwhelming!

"Son! Zhenqiang Company has been bought out?" Hearing her son’s words, Zhang Lan’s heart was filled with shock and nothing but shock, because she, as a businesswoman, knew just how difficult it was to acquire a publicly traded company, especially one worth over ten billion. To acquire it, one would need at least double the funds to purchase enough shares. And if there were any fluctuations, even four times the funds might not be enough. Not to mention an unplanned acquisition like this—it’s indelicate to say, but she can’t even begin to estimate how much money would be needed...

She truly couldn’t believe that her son could find such a powerful person to take over Zhenqiang Company! And who is this Shen Yao? Who is her father who possesses such boldness to decide on these matters? He must be no ordinary person. Right, her name is Shen Yao—could she be the daughter of Shen Tian, one of the three richest individuals in Yuegang? Yes, that must be it. Apart from Shen Tian, there are few people with that kind of boldness, and only a tycoon among the top three wealthiest in Yuegang could have the power to buy out a publicly traded company during casual conversation.

How did her son get to know Shen Yao? Listening to the phone call, it sounded like her son addressed Shen Yao by name, implying that they were on good terms. But one was in Yuegang, the other in Tianhai—they had no connection! Could it be that her son met Shen Yao on his trip to Yuegang earlier in the year? No wonder the car her son drove was such an extravagant RV; it must have been Shen Yao’s. Otherwise, why would a man drive such a vehicle?

So what exactly is the relationship between her son and Shen Yao now? Zhang Lan’s mind was a mess, not knowing how to face Lin Jie beside her. Although Shen Yao’s family background was outstanding, it was Lin Jie who had been comforting to watch by her side. Lin Jie was the epitome of a traditional beauty, the perfect candidate for a daughter-in-law. But now Shen Yao had emerged, and it seemed she had a very good relationship with her son. How would she handle the relationship between Shen Yao and Lin Jie in the future?

Zhang Lan’s head was in turmoil. On one hand, she could scarcely believe her son had such incredible influence, and on the other hand, she was worried about her son’s girlfriend because it appeared that it wasn’t just Lin Jie who wanted to be his girlfriend. Now Shen Yao had appeared, and surely there would be other girls eyeing her exceptional son in the future. What to do!

"Lin Feng..."

"Am I hearing things?"

Lin Dongchen and his wife were also immensely shocked by Lin Feng’s words. The person Lin Feng had found was too impressive. That was a publicly traded company, and in the span of a casual half-hour conversation, it had been bought. How could that be! Only a super-tycoon would have the means to do something like this. As a university professor, he wouldn’t have had the chance to meet such people who need many bodyguards just to step outside. It was impossible to even speak to them, much less become acquainted and influence them to buy out a publicly traded company for Lin Feng. It just didn’t seem possible!

Since Lin Feng’s return, his transformation had been massive. Was this the same extravagant waster they knew before? Now he was like a miracle worker, constantly creating surprises. Initially, he’d taken out more than ten million in cash at the Lin Family, then saved Lin Dongchen’s life after an incident, and on New Year’s Eve, found himself respected by hooligans and pickpockets on the street. Now, he knew a super-tycoon from Yuegang who casually bought out Zhenqiang Company, rescuing Lin Family Village from destruction.

If Xiao Jie could really end up with Lin Feng, it would be her good fortune. But unexpectedly, now a super-tycoon’s daughter, Shen Yao, had appeared. How to deal with that? Although their family also had a business, it was nothing compared to Shen Yao’s family. What was the future for Xiao Jie and Lin Feng going to be? A real headache!

"Lin Family Village has truly been saved?" Lin Jie looked at Lin Feng, no longer knowing what to say. Before she and Brother Lin Feng returned, her parents had tried so many solutions, but none of them worked. After returning with Brother Lin Feng, he managed to solve the issue all by himself. Brother Lin Feng is just too amazing; he had even resolved a problem that her parents and uncles and aunts couldn’t!

However, it now seems that Shen Yao is really from no ordinary family, lending out such a luxurious RV for Brother Lin Feng and herself to ride in, complete with a personal driver. This was already something to be envious of, and now her father had agreed to let Brother Lin Feng acquire Zhenqiang Company. To be able to casually acquire a listed company indicated that Shen Yao’s family must be incredibly wealthy, beyond what she could even imagine! At the very least, her family’s company couldn’t compare with theirs, which was certainly far superior to her own family’s enterprise. How was she supposed to get along with Brother Lin Feng in the future!

Brother Lin Feng’s charm was too great, having even attracted a beauty like Shen Yao. Didn’t that reduce her own chances of being with Brother Lin Feng? Compared to Shen Yao, she really fell short in so many ways, not as pretty and from a family with much less wealth. In such a situation, she had no comparison at all. It was really worrisome; Brother Lin Feng was so outstanding, and in the future, there would definitely be more beauties who liked him. What was she to do...

"There’s no need for this kind of reaction. I’m telling the truth. The acquisition of Yuegang Zhenqiang Company can be done tomorrow morning, and what we must do right now is prevent our village from being forcefully demolished. Otherwise, by the time the relevant procedures are completed, our village will be gone, leaving it with no value." Lin Feng understood that it was difficult for everyone to accept such news suddenly and that their reaction was quite normal. So, he reiterated his words, hoping everyone could come to their senses and not be so shocked.

"Alright, I’ll immediately arrange for people to stand watch tonight. If there’s any hint of movement, we’ll quickly alert the villagers to block the demolition team outside." Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words again, Village Head Lin Guangyi came to the realization that what he said was indeed correct. He promptly put down the smoking pipe in his hand and solemnly agreed with Lin Feng’s plan. Now that the village was confirmed to be safe for the moment, it would be pointless if they didn’t resist and the village ended up destroyed. The most pressing matter was to protect the village.

"Dad, shall I go notify the people on night duty?" Hearing what his father said, Lin Xueyou understood his father’s intentions and promptly offered to arrange the watch duty. With things having progressed to this stage, it was crucial that nothing happened to the village, or all their efforts would be wasted. Regardless, they had to guard the village well and wait for the people Lin Feng mentioned to arrive.

"Go ahead and arrange it," Lin Guangyi responded to his son’s suggestion, agreeing for him to notify those on night duty. He was very worried; after all, Lin Feng’s warnings were spot on. If Wanlilai Company really came out of spite in the middle of the night and there was no one watching, it would be too late to regret anything should anything happen.

"Alright, I’ll go now." Upon hearing his father’s words, Lin Xueyou immediately left to find people. No one knew when the demolition team might come. If they showed up at night intending to forcefully demolish the villagers’ homes, that would be disastrous. Such incidents had been reported on TV too. How could they not worry!

"Village Head, since everything’s been settled, we’ll be taking our leave," Lin Yiwen said, seeing that there was no longer any issue. He proactively took Zhang Lan’s hand and stood up to bid farewell to the Village Head. The most challenging issue had already been entrusted to his son, and the night watch didn’t require him and his wife, so it was best to leave.

"Village Head, we can’t be of help with the matters here, so we’ll head back." Zhang Lan, agreeing with her husband Lin Yiwen, echoed that it was indeed time for them to rest. They couldn’t just sit at the Village Head’s house all the time; he had things to do.

"We’re going back too," Lin Dongchen said, taking Liu Li’s hand and also standing up to say goodbye to the Village Head. Since Lin Feng was handling the situation, there was no point in lingering there any longer. It was better to go back and rest, avoiding taking up the Village Head’s valuable time, especially when he needed to arrange the night watch.

"Then let’s all disperse, it’s time to go back for dinner. I’ve got too much to handle here, so I won’t keep you for a meal. When I have some free time, I’ll properly invite everyone to dine as a token of my appreciation." The Village Head was extremely pleased, as the matter of the village relocation had finally been resolved satisfactorily. What remained was organizing the night duty, which was indeed a matter not to be taken lightly. Since everyone was ready to leave, it was time to disperse. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future to properly thank Lin Feng. If it hadn’t been for him, the village would have certainly faced a grim fate. No amount of gratitude would be excessive.

"Then, we’ll be going."

"Goodbye, Village Head."

"Goodbye, Village Head."

...

After bidding farewell, the group walked out of the Village Head’s yard, ready to go home and rest. It was time to prepare dinner.
