Chapter 601: Two Funny Tycoons (Fifth Update)
Chapter 601: Two Funny Tycoons (Fifth Update)
The reason these two clowns had run off to Tianhai was quite simple: their daughters were distracted and restless when they came home for the New Year, which made their wives nervous. The wives, being experienced in such matters, knew immediately that the girls were in love. Sure enough, they suspected the girls had their eyes on someone, and they started planning to send the rough-and-tumble fathers to Tianhai after the New Year to check out who their daughters had taken a fancy to.
At first, the two brutes did not take this matter seriously. It was only after persistent pressure from their wives that they reluctantly made their way to Tianhai to investigate. They had hired a private detective who was very efficient and had tracked down Lin Feng as soon as he boarded the plane. They were informed about which flight Lin Feng was on, what time he would arrive in Tianhai, and which car he took after disembarking. Therefore, Mao Dawang and Ye Xiangqian lay in wait at the entrance of Lin Feng’s residential complex, planning to corner Lin Feng and negotiate directly with him.
However, what they failed to anticipate was that they would wait near the entrance of the complex for hours. Just when they were about to lose their patience, they finally saw a Mercedes-Benz van approaching. They swiftly blocked the road with their car to stop Lin Feng in his tracks.
After they got out of the car, they indeed saw Lin Feng alighting as well. They recognized him immediately from his photo in the dossier, and, cigar in mouths, they walked up to him, sizing him up. They thought to themselves that Lin Feng indeed looked impressive; no wonder their girls were smitten. You couldn’t tell much from a photo, but seeing Lin Feng in person, they could tell he was significantly better than both of them!
"I can roughly guess," Lin Feng started, assuming he wasn’t wrong, "it must be Uncle Mao and Uncle Ye, right?" Lin Feng was utterly speechless at the sight of these two wealthy-looking clowns before him, finding it hard to connect these two with the two campus beauties, Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu. They were usually so gentle and quiet; who could have thought they would have such absurd fathers? The contrast was just too stark...
Uncle Mao and Uncle Ye? Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu’s dads? The discrepancy was too huge, wasn’t it?
Huang Shi initially had no idea who these two clowns were, but seeing that they had no ill intentions, he did not say anything. When he heard Lin Feng mention that the two were Uncle Mao and Uncle Ye, he then realized what was going on. No wonder these two embarrassed the Boss so much. It’s difficult even for an upright official to settle family disputes, and faced with such a situation, he wasn’t in a position to say much, so he just stood by and watched.
When Zhu Tao heard Lin Feng describe the men, he quickly grasped the situation. Lin Feng and the two men in front of him were connected, and the two flashy men were ordinary people who posed no threat to Lin Feng at all. It seemed that the remaining issues would still have to be resolved personally by Lin Feng.
"Eh, you’ve seen us before?"
"How do you know us?"
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, Mao Dawang and Ye Xiangqian were taken aback and wondered how Lin Feng knew them. Could their daughters have shown him their photos? Impossible. The girls absolutely loathed their fathers and wouldn’t show their photos to strangers. So, how did Lin Feng recognize them? They could not figure it out.
"It’s quite simple, your license plate, plus your looks," Lin Feng said, really at a loss for words with these two.
"Ah, so that’s what it was. Kid, now that you know who I am, that makes things easier," Mao Dawang said after Lin Feng spoke, realizing the problem had to do with the license plate and their appearances. However, that was not important. What was important was his daughter’s happiness and that, as a father, he had to take care of the situation, or the tigress at home would tear him to pieces!
With this in mind, Mao Dawang stepped forward, patted Lin Feng’s shoulder, and took a couple of heavy puffs on his cigar before pulling it from his mouth, speaking brusquely with a hint of displeasure in his tone. To tell the truth, if he were not afraid of his daughter getting mad, he would not be talking to Lin Feng like this.
"Yeah, our Xiaoyu is also a good girl. Kid, you should stop chasing her. Although our Xiaoyu is more beautiful than Rongrong, Xiaoyu’s temper isn’t great. You definitely can’t handle it. So, be smart and stay away from my girl. I’m not afraid to tell you, both Dawang and I are the so-called coal tycoons. How about that, scared now, hahaha?" said Ye Xiangqian as he approached Lin Feng, gave him a pat, and then laughed with a barely concealed threat in his voice after tossing away his cigar.
"This... This, I really haven’t seduced your daughters," Lin Feng said, extremely embarrassed. He truly didn’t know how to speak to the fathers of the two campus beauties. He certainly couldn’t reveal his own intentions because that would surely make the two men explode on the spot. While he wasn’t afraid, he worried that something might happen to the two beauties if things escalated. However, everything the two clowns said sounded off to him. What seduction? He had never done such a thing...
"Xiangqian, what are you talking about? How could Xiaoyu be more beautiful than our Rongrong? Clearly, Rongrong is the more beautiful one!"
"Our Xiaoyu is beautiful; her figure is even better than Rongrong’s! How many girls can match Xiaoyu’s figure?"
"Our Rongrong’s face and skin are even better than Xiaoyu’s. Clearly, Rongrong is the prettier one!"
"Your Rongrong may be pretty, but every man prefers our Xiaoyu. Do you dare say Rongrong’s figure is better than Xiaoyu’s?"
"Our Rongrong has a better temperament as well. Look at how refined and quiet she is, unlike Xiaoyu, who’s always hopping around all day!"
"Our Xiaoyu is spirited and clever, thank you very much. If you don’t appreciate it, don’t talk nonsense! Our Xiaoyu’s chest is bigger than Rongrong’s, didn’t you see that?"
...
As soon as Mao Dawang heard Ye Xiangqian say that Ye Xiaoyu was prettier than his daughter Mao Rongrong, he couldn’t hold back, forgetting all about Lin Feng and began arguing with Ye Xiangqian. Their words grew more and more intense, both red-faced and neck bulging in their dispute, each one singing his own daughter’s praises, unwilling to concede that his girl was second to any other!
It wasn’t surprising they argued so fervently. After all, both only had one child, a daughter whom they had cherished like a treasure since childhood. They had been quarreling over this topic for nearly twenty years without reaching any conclusion. Instead, their bond had grown stronger, bringing their families even closer, almost like one family. They had simply grown accustomed to these pointless arguments.
Huang Shi, listening to all this, became incredibly embarrassed. He truly didn’t know what to say. He had never expected these two to say such things. How could they... How could those words leave their mouths? Huang Shi didn’t want to listen but found himself hearing everything nonetheless, leaving him at a complete loss about what to do. Now that he couldn’t leave, all he could do was stand there, awkwardly, trying his best to let it go in one ear and out the other.
Zhu Tao felt equally speechless about these two characters. He could tell that this mess was stirred up by Lin Feng, and knew that only Lin Feng could step in and handle it. As for himself, he tried to ignore what he shouldn’t see and not listen to what he shouldn’t hear. However, the matter these two were embroiled in was really too big, and no matter how much he wished to ignore it, he couldn’t. This left Zhu Tao equally awkward.
Lin Feng, watching the two men argue, felt even more speechless. He thought, Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu’s fathers were such characters, getting into a quarrel like this, and even publicly comparing their daughters’ figures, like whose chest or butt was bigger, or whose waist was thinner. Lin Feng couldn’t bear to listen any longer. How could fathers talk about their daughters like that? Finally unable to take it anymore, he walked up to the two men and patted them both on the shoulders.
"Uncles, there’s no need for this. Could you move the car, so I can go home, please?" Lin Feng said calmly, interrupting the two men’s quarrel. He really didn’t want to keep standing there in embarrassment.
"Go home? Wait a moment!" Mao Dawang, caught up in his rant, didn’t catch what Lin Feng said and answered absentmindedly.
"Dawang, wait, what did we come here for? Why did we start arguing?" Ye Xiangqian, hearing Lin Feng’s interjection, suddenly realized their mistake. Indeed, they had come that evening to negotiate with Lin Feng, so why had he got caught up arguing with Mao Dawang? It had slipped their minds so easily! Remembering this, he quickly stopped the quarrel and reminded Mao Dawang that they were there to negotiate with Lin Feng, not to discuss their daughters.
"Right, Xiangqian, how did we start arguing? Forget it, it’s so frustrating to talk like this. Let’s stick to the original plan!" Mao Dawang, reminded by Ye Xiangqian, also realized what they were doing and that they had forgotten their actual purpose. He thought it best to make a decisive move; talking like this was too exhausting for him. He gestured Ye Xiangqian to proceed with the plan.
"I was waiting for you to say that. I’m suffocating here, not to mention it feels damn awkward to talk this way. Let’s just cut to the chase and get it done." Ye Xiangqian had long since wanted to get straight to the point and finish the business. In his opinion, faced with a pile of colorful cash, any man would be tempted. He had seen this situation too many times before; how officials talk about being incorruptible but change their tune as soon as they see a stack of money. So, he believed that Lin Feng would not be an exception, especially since Lin Feng was a washed-up young master, which would make it even less of an issue.
Having said this, each of them grabbed one of Lin Feng’s arms and pulled him behind a Hummer.
