Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

"What?"

"Why? You don't know anything! This is called high society!"

The elite are truly the best; I admire them greatly.

Su Zhenfeng checked the time: "I'm not going to talk about anything else today. I just want to remind you of something."

Ouyang Yan asked in confusion, "A reminder? Why don't you just make a phone call? Why do you have to come all the way here?"

"Isn't this a more important matter? If I didn't come in person, you probably wouldn't believe me."

Hearing Su Zhenfeng say this, Ouyang Yan put away his indifferent attitude and quickly turned around: "What is it? Tell me."

In the past, Su Zhenfeng was a very serious person. If he said something was important, it was definitely not a trivial matter.

After gathering his thoughts, Su Zhenfeng got straight to the point: "Let me make this clear first, this is entirely for your own benefit. Before sunset today, you'd better terminate all cooperation with the Qi family."

"..."

Ouyang Yan was taken aback.

What?! Why are you suddenly saying that?

It should be noted that, besides the Su family, the Qi family is the Ouyang family's biggest partner.

If the cooperation is terminated, not to mention the subsequent reduction in profits, the penalty for unilaterally terminating the cooperation alone will amount to a considerable sum.

“Old Su, Old Su.” Ouyang Yan poured Su Zhenfeng a glass of wine. “I’m not trying to criticize you, but when we were roommates with Qi Yi, I knew you two didn’t get along. But that’s all in the past. Now we’re both successful and in charge of such a big company. How can we treat this like a game?”

Su Zhenfeng rolled his eyes at him: "You think you're funny?"

"Okay, I've gone too far with the joke," Ouyang Yan said with a smile. "Then may I ask why?"

Taking a sip of baijiu, Su Zhenfeng put down his glass: "Remember when my son Yuzhe was hit by a car five years ago? At that time, it was just a suspicion, but now it's basically confirmed. It was the work of the Qi family, that old fox Qi Jiang. You know, if Yuzhe hadn't said he had a plan, I would have already broken ties with the Qi family."

"Then, there's something fishy about their business. Maybe you're involved in some projects with them, but you don't know it. My son said he's going to bring down the entire Qi family today. If they fall, there will definitely be a lot of repercussions. The Ouyang family, which has the most cooperation with the Qi family, will be greatly affected. Well, that's about it. I'm done talking. Believe it or not is up to you."

He could see that Ouyang Yan was frozen in place after hearing these words, holding his wine glass without moving.

That's true. If a rational person heard this, they would think that he must be talking nonsense. How could anyone bring down such a large family in a single day?

But I didn't expect that.

Ouyang Yan surprisingly raised his glass again and drank it all in one gulp.

"Good! You're still a brother! It's worth it for bringing you food to your dorm back then! I'll get to it right away and terminate all cooperation with the Qi family!"

"Huh? You don't even question what you're saying?"

Ouyang Yan chuckled twice: "What's there to doubt? First of all, you're not the kind of person who just makes things up."

"First, the person who will bring down the Qi family is your son, Yu Zhe, right? That's no small matter! I don't trust anyone else, but he definitely can!"

"Oh?" Su Zhenfeng became curious instead. "How can you be so sure? You and Yu Zhe haven't met more than a few times, have you?"

Even if everyone in Fenghai City knows their son is a genius, only the Su family knows the extent of his abilities.

Ouyang Yan said helplessly, "I have indeed only met Yu Zhe a few times, but I've heard his name so many times that I'm practically sick of it. You don't know, do you? My daughter is Li Zhi, you know her, right?"

“That child, good heavens, she talks to me every day about how wonderful and amazing her brother Yuzhe is, as if he could pluck the stars from the sky for her.”

"So, do you think I'd be surprised if you said that Yu Zhe could bring down the Qi family?"

Although Ouyang Yan's words were somewhat of a joke, Su Zhenfeng could tell that he genuinely believed in Yu Zhe.

"Your daughter?" Su Zhenfeng extracted the key information. "Ah, I remember, she's that kid who looks a bit dull... cough cough, but very clever."

Ouyang Yan was quite frank: "You don't need to beat around the bush. Lizhi is just dull, or rather, a bit slow-witted. She's slow-thinking. Sigh, her mother and I often have headaches about this. How can our child be so slow!"

You really don't give your own child any face!

Having said that, Ouyang Yan suddenly remembered something.

He raised his glass and handed it to Su Zhenfeng: "Brother Su... could I... ask you for a favor?"

"Why are you using honorifics again? Just speak properly. Judging from your behavior, it's not a good thing."

“How could it not be a good thing?” Ouyang Yan placed his wine glass in front of him. “Zhenfeng, I was just thinking, if possible, could we try to match my daughter with Yuzhe?”

"After all, well, let me be frank, you don't know, Lizhi talks about Yuzhe all the time, she's like she's possessed."

58. It's finally here?

"She's really like she's possessed. It's not just when she's chatting idly; even during meals, she's staring at the food and muttering Yu Zhe's name. So I thought I'd try to set them up. Zhenfeng, what do you think?"

They didn't agree as readily as I'd imagined.

Instead, what Ouyang Yan saw was Su Zhenfeng lost in thought.

And quite a while passed, and he still didn't say a word.

This made Ouyang Yan frown, quite displeased: "Zhenfeng, what do you mean by this? I was reluctantly offering my precious daughter to your son, what, he doesn't like her?"

Su Zhenfeng rubbed his temples, looking a bit annoyed. "No, no, no... it's not a matter of whether I look up to you or not."

"What's the problem?!" Ouyang Yan shrugged. "Indeed, Li Zhi might not be the brightest, but she has a great personality. She's kind and innocent, and even in terms of looks, my Li Zhi is one of the most beautiful in Fenghai City! Don't think..."

"Shut up!"

Su Zhenfeng's voice was full of energy, directly interrupting Ouyang Yan's incessant rambling.

Ouyang Yan dared not say more for the time being. Back in his student days, Su Zhenfeng was their dormitory head. Su Zhenfeng's "Don't make noise" when the teacher checked the rooms was a memory etched into his DNA.

Seeing that Ouyang Yan had calmed down, Su Zhenfeng rested his chin on his hand and said, "I said, it's not a matter of whether he looks up to me or not. The main problem is that I may not be able to make this kind of decision for Yu Zhe."

Ouyang Yan chuckled: "I'm not asking you to decide for him, I'm just letting the two kids get to know each other first. In the end, of course, it's up to the kids themselves to decide!"

“You don’t understand.” Su Zhenfeng shook his head. “I’m not referring to that. I’m asking you, do you know that Yu Zhe has two younger sisters?”

Ouyang Yan replied immediately, "I know, I know, Su Yuche and Su Zixiao, right? They're the two kids who always follow Yuzhe around."

“The idea of ​​following behind is from the past,” Su Zhenfeng sighed. “Now, both of these kids want to stand in front of Yuzhe.”

Sensing that Su Zhenfeng was implying something, Ouyang Yan asked, "What does this mean? Is it related to the topic we're discussing?"

Why are you suddenly bringing this up? Didn't you just say you wanted to matchmake Yu Zhe and Li Zhi? How did you end up talking about Yu Zhe's two younger sisters?

Too lazy to beat around the bush anymore, Su Zhenfeng poured himself some more wine and said bluntly, "To be honest, Yu Che and Zi Xiao have told me before that I am not allowed to find a girlfriend for Yu Zhe or to arrange an engagement for him. These things are forbidden in our family."

We can't even say it?

Ouyang Yan was dumbfounded: "Is it really that serious? Haha, I can understand that some younger sisters might be reluctant for their older brothers to find girlfriends, but to talk about this so seriously is going too far, haha."

Su Zhenfeng rested his chin on his hands, his face darkening: "This is no joke."

Noticing that Su Zhenfeng was extremely serious, Ouyang Yan was stunned: "Really?"

"real."

Recalling the situation at the time, Su Zhenfeng took a sip of wine helplessly: "You have no idea about our family situation. Yu Zhe's two younger sisters don't just revolve around him; they treat Yu Zhe as their life. So, if you try to match Li Zhi and Yu Zhe up, the consequences could be very serious."

"...This isn't right, isn't it? Aren't you going to do anything about it...?"

Ouyang Yan didn't know what to say. Although he knew that Su Zixiao seemed to have no blood relation with Su Yuzhe, what about Su Yuche? And regardless of whether they were related by blood or not, this was still outrageous!

Su Zhenfeng raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp: "There's nothing I can do about it. Who told my family members to be so capable? Sigh, I've come to terms with it now. Let nature take its course."

"You seem to take it all in stride..."

The two pondered for a long time before Ouyang Yan finally compromised: "Alright... then we still need to consider this matter carefully. But let me make this clear: given Li Zhi's behavior every day, if there's an opportunity, I'll definitely let her have contact with Yu Zhe!"

"I already said, let nature take its course, do whatever you want..."

Otherwise, however, if you let your daughter get too close to Yu Zhe, who knows if she might be set up by Zi Xiao and Yu Che.

I heard she's a bit slow-witted? Oh no, what can she use to compete now? Just stubbornly stick to her guns?

After discussing the topic for a while without reaching a conclusion, Ouyang Yan remembered something.

"Oh right, the child's mother went out on something, and Lizhi should be in her room. Should I call her out to say hello?"

"Never mind, no need for that. I just came to talk to you about the Qi family. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

As he spoke, Su Zhenfeng stood up and patted Ouyang Yan on the shoulder: "Hey, thinking about it, so much time has passed since our student days. Without further ado, take care in the future."

Ouyang Yan also stood up and saw him to the front door, then looked somewhat saddened: "After all, things have changed. It feels like the events of our school days are still fresh in my mind. Speaking of Qi Yi, that kid was a notorious coward back then, but now he dares to get involved in those questionable businesses. Has he gotten bolder?"

"Not necessarily." Su Zhenfeng looked in the direction of the Qi Group building. "He wouldn't dare to get involved in such things."

.........................

The Qi Group building is now under much stricter security, as if it has entered a state of high alert.

But whether they are employees coming to change shifts or people from other companies coming to discuss business, they can come and go freely.

It's like simply increasing security with more people, but it doesn't actually have any real effect.

All of Qi Jiang's arrangements were made in anticipation of Su Yuzhe's arrival and to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances.

It is better to be prepared than not; we must ensure that nothing goes wrong.

In fact, Qi Jiang had been sitting in this separate temporary meeting room for some time. During this period, Qi Yi would occasionally come over to report on the content of the meetings currently being held in the conference room next door.

But there was no news about Su Yuzhe at all.

This is a bit strange. Long enough time has passed; logically, the opponent should have already taken action.

There was another knock at the door, and after Qi Jiang responded, Qi Yi walked in again.

There wasn't anything particularly noteworthy to report this time, but Qi Yi looked somewhat worried: "Uncle, just waiting like this isn't a good idea. The meeting next door is almost over."

Qi Jiang glanced at him out of the corner of his eye: "Go and stall for time again. The meeting can't be canceled. At least until Su Yuzhe arrives, the company needs to maintain its current state. Hmm, maybe that Su kid is already waiting around here. As for what he's waiting for, I really can't say right now."

"However, waiting is useless. If he waits, then we'll wait too."

Qi Yi nodded.

He wanted to go out to continue the meeting, but as soon as he turned around and walked to the door, his eyes widened and he froze.

Because he suddenly saw a dazzling silver light.

At the doorway, Su Yuzhe was leaning against the wall, with a maid standing behind him.

At the same time, Yu Zhe also saw him, but without saying much, he walked past him into the temporary conference room.

"No need to wait any longer, hehe, here I am, Senior Qi, thank you for waiting."

Almost at the same time, Qi Jiang stood up, leaning on his tiger-head cane, his expression seemingly twisted.
