"Brother Qiu, this is Huang He, I'm currently in Liu Family Village and have run into some trouble. I need you to speak up for me..."
Inside Fengyu Group, Qiu Jianbo, the development department manager, received a call from Huang He and immediately frowned.
Liu Family Village?
Isn't that the poorest small village in West County?
"Huang He, are you regressing in age? Getting into trouble in a godforsaken place?" Qiu Jianbo said coldly.
"No, Brother Qiu, I'm here to collect money today, but I encountered a troublemaker. Not only did he beat up my men, he also demanded compensation. I told him I was with Fengyu, and he pushed even further, asking me to call President Feng. Isn't he courting death?"
On the other end of the line, Huang He was speaking while stealing glances at Jiang Feng, as if deliberately saying it for Jiang Feng to hear, to put pressure on him.
"How many times have I told you, you're not with Fengming. Don't use Fengming's name to do illegal things!" Qiu Jianbo said coldly.
Within Fengyu Group, Feng Yueji had long given orders prohibiting anyone from engaging in any dealings with illegal loans. However, over the years, Qiu Jianbo had maintained a good relationship with Huang He and privately accepted many of his tributes, so Qiu Jianbo helped Huang He act in defiance, turning a blind eye to his lending.
But this didn't mean Huang He could parade around under Fengyu Group's name. If things got out of hand and Feng Yueji found out, even Qiu Jianbo, the development department manager, would be in trouble!
"Okay, but Brother Qiu, I'm already being pushed to the edge here. Please say something on my behalf so I can get out, or I won't make it out of this village..." Huang He pleaded, feigning pity.
On the surface, he looked pitiful, but actually, he didn't take Qiu Jianbo's words seriously. In recent years, with the crackdown on illegal loans, if he hadn't been using Fengyu Group's name, he wouldn't have made a living. By falsely claiming Fengyu's name, he's gotten away with it for so long.
Qiu Jianbo's expression remained cold: "Give him the phone!"
"Alright!"
Huang He was overjoyed and immediately handed the phone to Jiang Feng, saying disdainfully, "It's my boss on the line, take it."
Jiang Feng reached out and, under the watchful eyes of the Liu Family and the whole village, took the call.
"I am Qiu Jianbo, the development department manager of Fengyu Group. Are you the one detaining Huang He? Let me tell you, release him immediately, or if you anger me, the consequences won't be something you can handle!" Qiu Jianbo said coldly.
Though he was upset with Huang He for causing trouble, he was indebted to him and couldn't just let him suffer.
"Have Feng Yueji call me back." After saying that, Jiang Feng directly hung up.
Qiu Jianbo was stunned, and at the same time, so was Huang He in Liu Family Village, along with the entire Liu Family, all flabbergasted!
The prestigious development department manager of Fengyu Group personally called him, and he just hung up because he felt the other wasn't qualified and specifically requested Feng Yueji herself to call?
To everyone, Jiang Feng seemed beyond crazy, absolutely irredeemable!
Qiu Jianbo was so furious he was trembling and immediately called Huang He back, asking with a livid face, "What was the name of the person speaking with me just now?"
"He said his name is Jiang Feng, I'm not sure which person of the Liu Family he is..." Huang He replied.
"You... what did you say?" Qiu Jianbo was taken aback upon hearing this, his anger dissipating, leaving him wide-mouthed as he incredulously asked, "How old is he?"
"He looks just over twenty, but he's very arrogant, Brother Qiu, you experienced it too; he even dared to hang up on you..."
Dammit!!!
Over twenty, could he be that Jiang Feng?!!
As the development department manager of Fengyu Group, Qiu Jianbo was considered high-ranking and part of Fengyu Group's core circle, so he was well-informed, comparable even to the Zhou Family!
He had already heard about Jiang Feng's visit last night, where he allegedly beat Qiu Qianguo and Shi Guanlin to death. Now, that fearsome guy had gone to Liu Family Village and coincidentally ran into that fool Huang He?!
"Huang He, listen, I don't care what you do, whether you kneel, pay, or even leave your life there, you must achieve one thing -- obtain Mr. Jiang's forgiveness! If you fail, once you return to Binhai, I'll kill you myself, and don't drag me down with you!" Qiu Jianbo cursed outright!
Huang He was baffled by what he was hearing, the tone didn't seem right, why did Brother Qiu's attitude shift so suddenly?
"Brother Qiu?"
"Don't ask, if questioned, I'll say I'll kill you! I'm going to President Feng right now to plead guilty! If you can't do what I said, just wait; I'll drag you to hell with me if I die!" After saying this viciously, Qiu Jianbo directly hung up.
He then took a deep breath, hurriedly heading towards the elevator, rushing to Feng Yueji's office.
Qiu Jianbo knew he would face severe reprimand and punishment from President Feng, but at this point, he couldn't care less. Rather than passively enduring President Feng's wrath, it would be better to proactively face and admit his mistake!
He hoped that his efforts to remedy his mistake would earn President Feng's leniency!
...
In Liu Family Village, after hanging up the phone, Huang He turned incredulously to Jiang Feng, his face blank, "Who... who exactly are you?"
At that moment, Huang He finally realized a possibility that Jiang Feng was someone he couldn't afford to offend; otherwise, Qiu Jianbo wouldn't have spoken to him in that out-of-character tone!
"What did your 'Brother Qiu' say?" Jiang Feng asked expressionlessly.
"Mr. Jiang... Mr. Jiang, I was wrong, I was really wrong..." Huang He was sweating profusely, not daring to keep up his bluff: "I, Huang He, didn't recognize the mountain, didn't realize your true power. I'll do everything you say, willing to bear any consequences, just spare my life!"
After saying that, he directly knelt and kowtowed to Jiang Feng. For it was clear from Qiu Jianbo's phone call that if he couldn't calm Jiang Feng's anger, he'd be in trouble even if he returned to Binhai, and Qiu Jianbo would always keep his word!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Huang He, who had been so arrogant just moments ago, was now cowering like a grandson, repeatedly kowtowing to Jiang Feng and begging for his life!
This scene directly overturned the worldview of everyone in Liu Family Village. Could it be... this seemingly unremarkable young man named Jiang really had such powerful connections that even the almighty Fengyu Group was terrified of him?
And the Liu Family's five members were even more astonished as they watched Jiang Feng, even Liu Shiyuan was stunned by Jiang Feng's dominance. A person who could make Fengyu Group voluntarily back down, a person who could intimidate Huang He into kneeling like a dog and begging for his life, was this his true nature?
