The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Capítulo 1072: Chapter 1071: Zhou Family Scions

Zhou Renjie slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile, “Grandpa, someone like Su Changfeng doesn’t even require me to personally lift a finger. Let my other brothers handle it. After all, if one wants to accomplish great things, being hands-on with every little matter, even someone as talented as Zhuge Liang would be exhausted to death.”

Zhou Renjie’s words made many people secretly discontent. What does it mean to achieve great things by not being hands-on with everything? He even compared himself to Zhuge Liang, isn’t he overestimating himself?

“Zhou Renjie, aren’t you being a bit too conceited, comparing yourself to Zhuge Liang like that? I think you’re just scared to face Su Changfeng, that’s why you’re talking like this.”

“Do you really think you’re all that great? It’s just a bunch of empty boasting.”

Several younger descendants were quite dissatisfied with Zhou Renjie’s attitude, so they all directed their criticisms at him directly. However, Zhou Renjie remained very calm, without showing any displeasure at these words.

“Look at you all, competing among yourselves. Su Changfeng is clearly a waste, yet you all actually want to deal with him so eagerly. Isn’t that beneath you? Someone like Su Changfeng can be dealt with by sending just random person, why would you bother?” Zhou Renjie said.

These words rendered the younger ones speechless, as they felt Su Changfeng really wasn’t worth much, and handling him wouldn’t showcase their talents in any way.

In terms of discerning the importance of matters and judgment, Zhou Renjie was obviously much better than his peers, and his mindset was much steadier. Because he cared more about the profit, whether the task was worth his personal attention.

Zhu Mingguo smiled slightly, nodding in satisfaction. The head of the Zhou family needed someone with such a mindset and resourcefulness.

“Tianyi, such a trivial matter really doesn’t require you to personally intervene. You must have many things to attend to recently, so just take care of those,” Zhou Qifeng, as the head of the family, said to Zhou Renjie with a smile.

“Thank you, Grandpa, for understanding. Dealing with someone like Su Changfeng indeed is not worth my personal attention,” Zhou Renjie said lightly.

“Grandpa, since Tianyi thinks dealing with Su Changfeng is not worth his effort, let me handle it. After all, someone needs to put this arrogant brat in his place. I promise, Su Changfeng won’t even leave the airport, and I’ll make him kneel and beg, never to set foot in Beijing again,” Zhou Renlin stood up resolutely and said.

Seeing this, Zhou Renjie smirked slightly. Outwardly harmonious, he and Zhou Renlin were privately always at odds, vying for power. He understood that Zhu Tianlin’s attitude clearly meant to go against him, trying to outdo him with bravado.

But the more assertive Zhou Renlin was, the more Zhou Renjie felt that Zhou Renlin feared him.

“Zhou Renlin, I’ve heard from friends that Zhongcheng Company, which you’ve started, has cut its funding chain and is at a critical juncture. Shouldn’t you focus on managing your company rather than meddling in this?” Zhou Renjie intentionally leaked this information.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Renlin’s expression changed immediately.

Previously, Zhou Qifeng registered a company for him, with the same funds as Zhou Renjie’s, also five million. But as time went on, their companies developed vastly differently, one reaching great heights while the other often experienced financial crises and external debts, whereas Zhou Renjie managed to amass assets worth billions.

“Zhou Renjie, supporting the development of a family is not just about having business skills,” Zhou Renlin said unhappily. In his opinion, Zhou Renjie was merely better in business.

Zhou Renlin chuckled dismissively and said, “The development of a family indeed requires more than just business skills, but that’s the foundation. Without financial sources, where would you find bodyguards? Do you plan to fight Su Changfeng with your fists?”

“Is there a problem? Even if Su Changfeng had ten fists, he couldn’t beat me,” Zhou Renlin said arrogantly.

Upon hearing these words, Zhou Renjie felt very disdainful, thinking to himself that Zhou Renlin had no idea about Su Changfeng’s capabilities. Now Zhou Renlin thought he could handle Su Changfeng? He wouldn’t even need to act himself; Su Changfeng would deal with Zhou Renlin for him, allowing him to reap the benefits effortlessly.

“If you can, without relying on the Zhou family, force Su Changfeng to kneel and beg for mercy and roll back to Jiang City just on your own strength, I’ll give you my company. How about it?” Zhou Renjie deliberately provoked.

Zhou Renlin was shocked, thinking wasn’t this a pie in the sky? Zhou Renjie’s company was now listed, with a registered capital of billions. If he could own it, what more would he need to worry about!

“With everyone here, you won’t go back on your word, will you?” Zhou Renlin asked deliberately.

“Haha, I’ve always valued my promises, and what I say counts,” Zhou Renjie said firmly.

“Alright, it’s settled then. Now you’d better go back and prepare to hand over your company to me,” Zhou Renlin said, assuming he was on the verge of success.

“Fool!”

Zhou Renjie cursed in his heart. Without competent people around him, if Zhou Renlin approached Su Changfeng alone, it would end badly for him.

“Since you’ve decided among yourselves, let Tian Lin handle this matter,” Zhou Qifeng said as the head of the family.

Zhou Renlin said excitedly, “Okay, Grandpa, I’ll make sure Su Changfeng regrets it.”

At this moment, in Jiang City.

Su Changfeng happened to ask Ji Hong about the current dealings in Beijing, and Ji Hong mentioned the Zhou family. The reason the Zhou family was mentioned was that after Ye Chenwen’s death, the Zhou family was the first to target the Ye family. With the Zhou family being the early bird, other families naturally wanted to reap some benefits and were unwilling to lag behind.

“Now with the Zhou family involved, it’s saving me a lot of trouble.” Su Changfeng chuckled sinisterly. He had been worried that the Ye family’s enemies were countless in Beijing, and dealing with them would take a lot of time. But now with the Zhou family’s involvement, it would actually make things easier for him.

With the Zhou family’s tangled and complicated influence in Beijing as the first to target the Ye family, if they were dealt with, the other small families, seeing the situation, would have neither the courage nor the will to misbehave. They’d surely come forward to apologize obediently.
