The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1079: Chapter 1078: Opportunity

Even Zhou Qifeng was shocked, because he did not expect Zhou Renjie to speak this way; this was not like the resolute and decisive grandson he was familiar with.

Could it be that Zhou Renjie now feels his company’s development is good enough, so he doesn’t want to rush to show off? If he becomes prideful with just a bit of success now and rests on his laurels, Zhou Qifeng will definitely find a time to make Zhou Renjie realize he still has a long way to go. To become the head of the Zhou Family, one must have the spirit to strive and fight.

However, this is a family meeting, and since Zhou Renjie said this now, he couldn’t show too much partiality, so he had no choice but to agree.

”Alright, let’s give him another opportunity now, let him deal with that kid Su Changfeng, and I hope this time you won’t bring shame to the Zhou Family.” Zhou Qifeng said to Zhou Renlin.

Zhou Renlin wasn’t keen on guessing why Zhou Renjie spoke for him; his immediate priority now was to deal with Su Changfeng. Only by resolving Su Changfeng would he have a chance to rise again.

”Thank you, Grandfather, for giving me this opportunity. I will not disappoint you.” Zhou Renlin promised vigorously.

”You all may leave now. Zhou Renjie, follow me.” After issuing his orders, Zhou Qifeng stood up directly from the armchair.

Zhou Renjie walked over to Zhou Renlin, saying in a serious tone, ”Don’t blame me for not warning you. This is your last chance, so no matter what means you use, you must seize it. If your foolish brain can’t think of any good strategies, let me tell you, it’s said that Su Changfeng dearly loves his wife and child.”

Upon hearing this suggestion from Zhou Renjie, Zhou Renlin furrowed his brows continuously, unable to understand why Zhou Renjie would offer such advice. Wasn’t he worried that he might completely turn things around and threaten his position?

But Zhou Renlin had to admit that Zhou Renjie’s suggestion was indeed quite good. If he were to use the lives of Su Changfeng’s wife and child to threaten him, would he not obediently comply?

”Zhou Renjie, I have my own plans for how to handle this, don’t bother pretending here.” Zhou Renlin said coldly.

Zhou Renjie curled his lips into a wicked smile; he certainly wouldn’t offer advice to Zhou Renlin on dealing with Su Changfeng. He simply hoped Zhou Qifeng would push Su Changfeng to the limits, causing Su Changfeng to disable him. After all, in the Zhou Family, only Zhou Renlin had some capability to affect his position, which is why he wanted to use Su Changfeng to remove Zhou Renlin.

As for the other members of the Zhou Family, Zhou Renjie held them in disdain.

”Take care of yourself.” After saying this, Zhou Renjie turned and headed to Zhou Qifeng’s study.

With a serious expression, Zhou Qifeng was already seated. He initially had high hopes for Zhou Renjie, even considering passing the position of family head to him. However, if Zhou Renjie allowed a bit of success to make him arrogant, he would be very disappointed, as such a mindset is utterly incapable of leading the Zhou Family.

Thus, Zhou Qifeng specifically called Zhou Renjie over after the family meeting ended to remind him, ensuring he wouldn’t become complacent.

”Zhou Renjie, among your peers, your company is developing the best. But you should know that even a net worth of tens of billions is nothing. If you are only satisfied with your current achievements, I am genuinely disappointed in you.” Zhou Qifeng stated solemnly, using this opportunity to make Zhou Renjie realize the harshness of reality, urging him not to stagnate.

”Grandfather, do you think that by not dealing with Su Changfeng now, I am satisfied with the status quo?” Zhou Renjie said with a smile.

In his heart, Zhou Weiguo indeed thought this way, but now with Zhou Renjie’s remarks, his doubts lingered?

”Do you have any plans?” Zhou Weiguo asked curiously.

”Grandfather, you should be aware of Zhou Renlin’s nature. Although he’s less successful than I am in developing the company, no matter how badly he loses, he remains defiant. If I became the master of the Zhou house in the future, he would still harbor dissatisfaction, certainly leading to many conflicts. It’s said that harmony brings wealth, and a divided Zhou Family cannot fully progress. Therefore, I want him to be wholeheartedly convinced, though it will take some effort. That’s why I plan to start from his strengths.” Zhou Renjie stated calmly.

”Hmm? What do you mean?” Zhou Qifeng had just asked, but after pondering for a moment, he almost understood Zhou Renjie’s intentions, saying, ”Are you planning to let Zhou Renlin gain nothing from the matter with Su Changfeng, then personally resolve Su Changfeng so that Zhou Renlin recognizes the vast disparity between you two?”

”Grandfather, that’s indeed part of my plan, but it’s not that simple alone. If I am to become the family head, it must be for the Zhou Family’s benefit, so everyone must wholeheartedly accept me. Thus, in the coming days, I must adapt to situations and formulate plans accordingly.” Zhou Renjie spoke confidently.

Hearing Zhou Renjie’s arrangement, Zhou Qifeng felt even more trust in Zhou Renjie, but there was a critical flaw in Zhou Renjie’s plan. Why was Zhou Renjie so sure that Zhou Renlin couldn’t handle one Su Changfeng?

If Zhou Renlin really drove Su Changfeng out of Beijing, he would certainly feel triumphant and more confident, thinking he could compete with Zhou Renjie.

In such a case, not only would Zhou Renlin not submit to him, but the conflicts between the two brothers would only deepen.

”Zhou Renjie, what if Zhou Renlin actually succeeds? How would that situation develop?” Zhou Qifeng asked curiously.

”Grandfather, what you mentioned is impossible.” Zhou Renjie said firmly. While Zhou Renlin might handle some of Beijing’s rich kids effectively — after all, his years of boxing weren’t in vain — if his opponent is Su Changfeng, then Zhou Renlin would certainly fail.

After all, Zhou Renjie had specially investigated Su Changfeng beforehand; the Su Changfeng he understood was quite skillful and much stronger than Zhou Renlin.

”Are you so sure? You seem to know quite a bit about Su Changfeng.” Zhou Qifeng said.

”Grandfather, this Su Changfeng does indeed have skills, and his abilities surpass Zhou Renlin’s. Also, haven’t you forgotten that there’s a person named Huo Tian by Su Changfeng’s side?” Zhou Renjie remarked.
