The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 579: Chapter 580: The Frightened Chen Xueqi

But if a person doesn’t even care about their face, then they live without any dignity, right?

In Chen Xueqi’s understanding, face is something particularly important, because face can be said to be dignity. Yet, Chen Xueqi wasn’t aware that in the eyes of a strong person, face doesn’t really matter.

To Su Changfeng, Chen Xueqi is like a lively flea, not worth considering as a trouble to him, nor worth proving anything in front of Chen Xueqi.

When a strong person has to prove themselves to a weak person, it undoubtedly lowers the level of the strong person.

At this moment, a series of somewhat hurried footsteps suddenly sounded behind Chen Xueqi, approaching her.

When Chen Xueqi turned her head and saw Cheng Shi, disbelief instantly filled her face.

Cheng Shi actually came!

Was it really because of the phone call from this guy?

This is simply impossible, how could Cheng Shi be called here by a call from someone like Su Changfeng?

”What are you doing here? This person is my friend. Where do you get the authority to stop him?” When Brother Cheng approached, he gritted his teeth and said to Chen Xueqi.

In front of others, Cheng Shi would not disclose Su Changfeng’s true identity. If this matter was spread out, it would definitely cause turmoil in Jiang City.

When the waste in everyone’s eyes suddenly becomes the young master of the Ye Family from Beijing, such news would surely stir waves in Jiang City.

Chen Xueqi’s face turned pale with anxiety, bowing her head and saying, ”Brother Cheng, I’m very sorry. I didn’t know you were friends with him.”

”Even if you didn’t know that, you’re just an ordinary staff member of the group, where do you get the authority to interfere?” Cheng Shi said coldly.

Chen Xueqi didn’t know how to reply, so she bowed her head and shivered. She was merely an ordinary employee within the group, not even fulfilling her own job duties, let alone having the authority to interfere in other matters. However, Chen Xueqi truly did not expect that a phone call from Su Changfeng would actually bring Cheng Shi to welcome him personally.

”I’ll talk to you about this matter later.” Then, he turned to Su Changfeng and said, ”Let’s go to the office to talk.”

Su Changfeng nodded slightly, ignoring Chen Xueqi.

After they left, Chen Xueqi realized that the gaze from the group employees towards her seemed peculiar. They seemed to have known about Su Changfeng’s identity all along.

Chen Xueqi walked over to an employee, about to ask about Su Changfeng and Cheng Shi’s matters, but the employee quickly said, ”I don’t know anything, don’t ask me, and don’t get too close to me, I’m worried about being implicated by you.”

The other people in the group adopted the same attitude, as if Chen Xueqi had some infectious disease, they all avoided her.

Once inside the office, the moment the door was closed, Cheng Shi bent over and said to Su Changfeng, ”Young master, this time the fault lies on me. I didn’t manage the employees well. I will certainly handle today’s matter strictly.”

”Do you think I would care about the common perspectives of the group employees?” Su Changfeng stood by the floor-to-ceiling window. Chen Xueqi was someone he could dismiss with a word. There’s no way he would care about her, but because of Wang Feifei, he currently doesn’t plan to do that.

”Young master, did you come to me because you have tasks you want me to do?” Cheng Shi asked.

”There seems to be something unusual with the urban village over there. Ma Qiang mentioned that the progress is going too smoothly, so smoothly that it’s hard to believe, as if someone is helping us behind the scenes. What do you think about this matter?” Su Changfeng said.

Su Changfeng had mentioned this before. If Weishui could truly develop the urban village, it would undoubtedly elevate their status in Jiang City. However, Cheng Shi had already investigated, and many real estate developers who planned to swallow the urban village ended up in an embarrassing situation, making this matter particularly difficult.

But suddenly things have become so smooth, it is indeed somewhat unusual.

”Young master, could it be that Ye Qingcheng has already become aware of your next plan?” Cheng Shi said.

Su Changfeng’s face darkened. If no one around him had betrayed him, then only one person outside would know: Shen Hanxue. But Shen Hanxue is even less likely to reveal his plan to Ye Qingcheng, right?

Su Changfeng is particularly clear about Shen Hanxue’s heart. She certainly wouldn’t do this.

”Even if she knows my plan, even if the smooth progress with the urban village is related to her, why would Ye Qingcheng do it this way?” Su Changfeng wondered.

”Ye Qingcheng has been meeting frequently with the top figures in Jiang City recently. I think they must have established good relationships. Developing the urban village definitely requires approval from the top, and obtaining the permit to develop is necessary. Without the official documents, the urban village would undoubtedly become waste land.” Cheng Shi said.

Su Changfeng’s brows knitted into a ’川’ character, turning into waste land! In other words, if these matters are really related to Ye Qingcheng, then her objective is perhaps to turn it into a hot potato, letting it rot in Su Changfeng’s hands.

A large sum of money invested, yet only wasteland left, and it can’t be developed. For Su Changfeng, that would undoubtedly be fatal.

”Young master, everything is just speculation. We need to clarify whether Ye Qingcheng knows about our plan.” Cheng Shi said.

Su Changfeng nodded. For Cheng Shi’s hypothesis to hold true, a crucial factor is that Ye Qingcheng knows his plan for the urban village.

However...

Su Changfeng pulled out his phone and scrolled to Shen Hanxue’s number. He didn’t want to see the plan leaked from Shen Hanxue, but besides Shen Hanxue, he couldn’t think of anyone else.

If the call is made, it means he doesn’t trust Shen Hanxue anymore.

Making the call has become a difficult choice for Su Changfeng at this moment, but then, suddenly, his phone rang.

Looking at the words on the phone screen, Su Changfeng frowned. Why did Wang Feifei suddenly contact him? Even if Wang Feifei knew he was currently at Weishui Real Estate, she wouldn’t disturb him during this time, because he was in Cheng Shi’s office, and Cheng Shi was Wang Feifei’s superior. With Wang Feifei’s temperament, this isn’t her style.

Could something have happened in the group?

Su Changfeng glanced at Cheng Shi and answered the call.

”Wang Feifei, has something happened?” Su Changfeng asked.

”Old Ye, where are you now? Can you help me?” Wang Feifei asked urgently.

From Wang Feifei’s words, it seems she still doesn’t know that Su Changfeng is at Weishui Real Estate.

”I’m at your group’s place right now,” Su Changfeng replied with a smile.

On the other end of the phone, Wang Feifei was clearly stunned, her tone also turning confused, and she asked, ”What are you doing at our group?”
