While out picking up trash, I was forcefully pushed around by a beautiful female CEO.

"Zu Wang is right. If all else fails, I... I'll find a chance to apologize to Xiao Feng."

After listening to Li Zuwang's analysis, Meng Yuanhe spoke with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Grandpa, please don't! You are the eldest member of the Meng family. If you apologize, how will Second Sister face her husband in the future?"

Meng Bufan felt that Meng Yuanhe was acting too impulsively, so he quickly spoke up. But then, fearing that his words would invite a scolding, he quickly added, "To put it bluntly, whether my brother-in-law will help our Meng family in the future depends on how good his relationship is with my second sister. As long as my second sister can keep my brother-in-law, all these worries will be unnecessary."

"I agree with what the extraordinary person said."

Meng Jingran also spoke up.

Li Zuwang nodded in agreement.

"You've really improved, kid; you can see the crux of the problem now!"

Meng Boqu looked at Meng Bufan and praised him with a smile.

Meng Botao looked at his son with some surprise, but after the initial surprise, his eyes showed some relief: "He has indeed become more mature."

Noticing his father Meng Botao's expression and the affirmation from the other elders, Meng Bufan felt an indescribable excitement.

After all, gaining one's father's approval is a lifelong goal for any son.

In the past, Meng Bufan would be reprimanded every time he spoke up, and over time, he subconsciously became afraid to express his opinions.

Perhaps even Meng Bufan himself didn't realize that Lin Feng's words in the bar's private room last night had already subtly influenced him.

"Okay, that's settled then. I'll remind Qingyao to keep a close eye on Xiaofeng!"

Meng Yuanhe nodded, glanced at everyone, and finally looked at Meng Boqu and Meng Botao: "Boqu, Botao, let's settle Xiaofeng's matter for now. You two shouldn't waste any more time. It's not too late to go to the trade summit now, so don't be late! You two should also do your best this time to see if you can find a way to break the company's predicament at the trade summit."

"Yes, we'll go there now."

Meng Boqu and Meng Botao looked embarrassed and exchanged a glance.

Both of them saw a hint of helplessness and bitterness in each other's eyes.

In just a few years, the company managed by the two elders was far surpassed by Meng Qingyao's niece. No matter how thick-skinned they were, they couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

On the other side, Li Zuwang and Meng Yun were preparing to go home, since this was not their own place.

"Then I'll go to my company too!"

Li Zhiheng then spoke up, saying that he had just received a sum of money from Li Zuwang, and he naturally planned to invest it in the small company he ran to see if he could find a way to get the company on the right track.

"Shuangshuang, what about you?"

Li Zuwang looked at Li Shuangshuang.

"I...I made plans with a classmate."

Li Shuangshuang was still somewhat afraid of her father, Li Zuwang, especially after she offended Lin Feng yesterday. Li Zuwang was already unhappy about it, so he spoke with a lack of confidence.

"Hmph, you've invited those shady characters again? You'll ruin yourself with those friends sooner or later!"

Li Zuwang snorted coldly, giving Li Shuangshuang a cold look.

"No, Dad, they were all my classmates this time. Really, Huilin invited me!"

Li Shuangshuang was afraid that Li Zuwang would disagree, so she quickly assured him.

"Chen Huilin, the daughter of Director Chen of the Ministry of Urban Construction?"

Li Zuwang looked at Li Shuangshuang and asked.

"Yes, Dad, we're going to university in a little over a month, and a few of us classmates have decided to get together and have some fun. Plus, several of the people at this gathering have family members who are prominent figures in Minghai City!"

Li Shuangshuang spoke, her eyes filled with longing.

Seeing his daughter like this, Li Zuwang sighed and said, "Shuangshuang, don't force yourself into circles you can't fit into. Connections aren't built so easily. If you don't have enough ability yourself, forcing your way in will not only fail to bring you connections, but you might also lose your dignity."

Li Zuwang had a fairly good understanding of his daughter. The reason she developed such a personality was largely due to his wife Meng Yun's mercenary nature.

Climbing the social ladder won't bring you real power and wealth; instead, it's more likely to breed arrogance and a sense of self-satisfaction in a petty person.

Compared to Li Shuangshuang's style of doing things, Li Zuwang approves more of his son Li Zhiheng's approach: set clear goals, do things conscientiously, and leave the rest to chance.

Moreover, Li Zuwang had a premonition that Lin Feng was the opportunity.

"I said I'm just going to the party, why are you being so nagging? Anyway, I've already promised Huilin, I have to go."

Li Shuangshuang's temper flared up again. She retorted to Li Zuwang with some impatience, then turned and ran out.

"Dad, should I go and bring this girl back?"

Li Zhiheng was happy to do this kind of sycophantic work since he had received the debt from Li Zuwang, and besides, he also felt that this younger sister needed to be disciplined.

"Let her go. She won't understand no matter how much you reason with her, she won't learn unless she suffers a loss!"

Li Zuwang didn't stop him, and just snorted coldly.

Soon, Meng Boqu, Meng Botao, Li Zuwang, Li Zhiheng, and Meng Yun also left.

Meng Jingran still had to go to work at the drug administration bureau, and it was getting late.

Meng Bufan didn't want to stay at home with Meng Yuanhe, so he made up an excuse and slipped away.

In the entire Meng family villa, only Meng Yuanhe remained, sitting there lost in thought about Lin Feng.

……

On the other side, Meng's Pharmaceutical Group.

Lin Feng and Meng Qingyao came out of the mobile phone store downstairs from Meng's Pharmaceutical Group. At this moment, Lin Feng had a mobile phone in his hand, the latest generation of Huaxia Yaoyao Leading Phone.

"Lin Feng, I'm going up first. My grandfather said that a big shot from Kyoto is coming to the trade fair, so I can't just casually stroll around this trade fair. I have to take it seriously on behalf of the Meng Group."

When they reached the entrance of the Meng Group, Meng Qingyao spoke to Lin Feng with a serious expression.

"Hmm? Someone from Kyoto has arrived?"

Lin Feng, who was fiddling with his new phone, suddenly looked up at Meng Qingyao, his gaze instantly sharpening.

He had just killed Su Mingxuan when people from the capital arrived. At this critical juncture, he had no choice but to be cautious.

If this important figure from Kyoto is related to the Su family, then it's very likely that those people in Kyoto have already begun to suspect his identity.

If this is exposed so quickly, it might cause some trouble.

"Don't worry, they're probably not from the Su family!"

Meng Qingyao sensed the sudden surge of fierce aura emanating from Lin Feng, and after a moment's thought, she understood what Lin Feng was worried about.

"How so?"

Lin Feng looked at Meng Qingyao with curiosity.

"Isn't this the idea that Minister Yu spearheaded to develop a ring-city commercial district in Minghai City? For some reason, it suddenly attracted the attention of high-ranking officials from the General Administration of Trade and Economic Cooperation in Kyoto, which is why they are preparing to send people to Minghai City for investigation and research. I just received a message from my secretary that the person coming is the deputy director of the Department of Commerce and Industry of the General Administration of Trade and Economic Cooperation."

Meng Qingyao began to explain, then she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "It's strange, this deputy director seems to have made a last-minute decision to come here, suddenly buying a flight early this morning! It's already rare for the General Administration of Trade and Economic Cooperation to send someone to inspect a small place like Minghai, but what's even stranger is that they actually sent such a big shot as the deputy director."

"Deputy Director of the Department of Commerce and Industry?"

Upon hearing the information conveyed in Meng Qingyao's words, Lin Feng's expression immediately turned strange. He looked at Meng Qingyao and asked, "This... deputy director you're talking about, is his surname Shen?"
