The Ultimate Student Chapter 3144

Chapter 1265 - Bottom Line

In the end, it was Shen Jiucheng who made the call.

To him, Shen Jiucheng was Jingyi's father, and it was because of this that he respected Shen Jiucheng. However, this did not mean that he could be played around with so easily, especially when he and Ji Feng went there with utmost sincerity.

You can refuse, but you can't play with me like this!

"Xiao Lei, uncle wants to apologize to you and Ji Feng." Xiao Lei, uncle wants to apologize to you and Ji Feng. On the phone, Shen Jiucheng's voice was somewhat low and deep.

"Uncle Shen, don't say that. I can understand it." Zhang Lei said.

Shen Jicheng laughed bitterly in his heart, it was understandable, but it did not mean that he was not angry, if not, how could the Shen family fall to such a state?

He knew that Zhang Lei's words were giving him face, and this made Shen Jiucheng's face even hotter.

"Lil 'Lei, no matter what, Uncle was inconsiderate, but this shouldn't have affected your relations.h.i.+p with Jingyi. I still hope that the two of you will be fine." Shen Jiucheng sighed softly.

"Of course not. Don't worry Uncle Shen, I have a good relations.h.i.+p with Jingyi. I definitely won't be affected by external factors. " Zhang Lei said with a smile. In reality, he had never blamed Shen Jingyi for this matter. Zhang Lei knew that the one who was truly in charge was Shen Jiucheng.

"That's good, that's good."

Shen Jicheng sighed with emotion. Only after experiencing it would he know that there were some things that were not as natural as before. He originally thought that since Zhang Lei was infatuated with Jing Yi, he would definitely side with him. However, reality gave him a bucket of cold water instead.

Only now did Shen Jicheng realize that he had been too conceited previously.

Not only that, he thought that Zhang Lei was too weak.

"Xiao Lei, tell me how to contact Ji Feng, and I'll apologize to him." Seeing that Zhang Lei didn't say anything, Shen Jiucheng said.

"This..."

Zhang Lei hesitated for a moment before replying, "Uncle Shen, Ji Feng is usually quite busy. I can just pa.s.s your words to him."

Shen Jicheng said, "Alright then, help me apologize to him and also welcome him to the Shen family as a guest."

Zhang Lei said, "Alright!"

After that, there was another awkward silence between the two.

He knew that Zhang Lei would definitely not talk to him pa.s.sionately like before. In the past, whenever Zhang Lei called him on holidays, the two would always chat for a long time. Zhang Lei was very good at talking, and he had a wide range of experience, so the two of them could chat together.

But right now, Zhang Lei clearly didn't have any intentions of chatting with him.

After a few casual words, the two ended the call.

Before hanging up the phone, Shen Jiucheng suddenly said, "If Ji Feng still wants to learn the mantra, then we welcome him to come anytime."

Zhang Lei said, "Thank you Uncle Shen for your kind intentions. I'll pa.s.s the message to him."

Shen Jiusheng didn't say anything else. He knew that even Ji Feng wouldn't be able to return in the future.

After ending the call, Zhang Lei couldn't help but shake his head. If he knew this would happen, he wouldn't have done it this way!

Zhang Lei was very clear about what happened in the Shen family because he was very clear that if the words he said were to spread out, it would definitely affect the Shen family. However, he was not very clear about the exact impact it would have, because he did not know how deep the Shen family relied on the Tong family.

The result caused Zhang Lei to be greatly shocked. Through this matter, he discovered that the Shen family had actually set up such a large stall. They were simply not considering retreat. Obviously, the reason the Shen family dared to do this was because they were relying on the Tong family.

This caused Zhang Lei to be alarmed. He realized that he had neglected this aspect of the relations.h.i.+p between relatives.

It was only right for them to help their relatives, but the Shen family had done too much. If something unexpected happened, not only the Shen family would be in trouble, even the Tong family would be implicated.

On the other hand, if there was a problem with the Tong Family, the Shen Family would definitely be implicated.

Zhang Lei realized that he had to pay attention to this aspect in the future.

… ….

"Madman, listen!"

"What?" Ji Feng curiously asked.

"... "Please apologize to him on my behalf and welcome him to the Shen family as a guest..."

Ji Feng couldn't help but be taken aback. "Is that your father-in-law's voice? Who is he apologizing to? "

Zhang Lei said, "Of course I'm apologizing. I received his call this morning, and he realized that he made a mistake, so he deliberately called me. Originally, he wanted to tell you directly, but I didn't give him your contact details …"

"Wait!"

Ji Feng frowned and interrupted Zhang Lei's words, "Lei Zi, why did your father-in-law suddenly call to apologize?"

Zhang Lei laughed, "He must have realized that he went too far and felt bad about it..."

"Nonsense!"

Hearing that, Ji Feng was amused, "Did you do something behind his back? Tell me the truth, and don't lie to me! "

Would Shen Jiucheng feel bad?

If Shen Jiucheng truly felt bad, he would not have done that. Even if he had realized that he did not do the right thing, he would not have directly called to apologize, and would have taken a more tactful approach.

After all, he was Zhang Lei's future father-in-law, and as such, was an elder. Shen Jiucheng would definitely want this bit of face.

Thus, Ji Feng immediately realized that this was most likely Zhang Lei's doing behind the scenes and Shen Jiucheng had no choice but to apologize.

"Speak, what happened!" Ji Feng looked at Zhang Lei, "What did you do?"

"It's nothing. I just wanted people to know that the Shen family has nothing to do with the Tong family!" Zhang Lei said with a smile.

"This is still called nothing?!"

Hearing those words, Ji Feng shook his head. "By doing so, aren't you clearly telling the outside world that the Shen family is a piece of meat for everyone to eat?"

The Shen family must have obtained huge benefits from the Tong family's relations.h.i.+p in these two years, and this was obvious. Back then, when he and Zhang Lei first went to the Shen family, the Shen family was forced into a difficult situation by the Tan family, but now, they were able to drive their car to the airport's ap.r.o.n. This development speed was obvious.

If not for the Tong Family, the Shen Family would not have developed so quickly.

Now that Zhang Lei had made a name for himself, he had pushed the Shen family into the limelight. Killing with a soft knife, he was even more ruthless!

"What do you want me to say about you? If you do this, how are you going to explain it to Jingyi?" Ji Feng shook his head.

"She will understand."

Zhang Lei said, "There are some things that I have to show my att.i.tude to. I don't want people to play around with me like I'm an idiot." No matter who it is, they all have a bottom line. "

Ji Feng shook his head. "You …. "Alright, hurry up and deal with this matter. Stop messing around and pretend like this matter never happened. I will think of a way to deal with the matter regarding the martial arts mental cultivation method."

Although he was blaming Zhang Lei, he was slightly touched in his heart. Zhang Lei was like how he was in high school. He valued the brotherhood between them more than anything else. Such a brother was worth entrusting.

Zhang Lei chuckled, "Alright then. Anyway, he definitely has some memory this time."

"That mouth of yours!"

Ji Feng could not help but laugh: "Shen Jiucheng is your father-in-law after all, so there must be some respect."

Zhang Lei said, "Previously, I respected him a lot, but what he did really made people lose respect for him. Moreover, it's not like I have to say something nice to respect someone."

"It's your fault, anyway." Ji Feng shook his head and smiled, "Do you have time now? "Accompany me to a place."

"Where?" Zhang Lei asked.

"You'll know when we get there." Ji Feng smiled.

… ….

"Chief Shen? "I'm the city manager, Mayor Zhao is back."

When Shen Jicheng received the call from Dean Chang, he couldn't help pursing his lips, and let out a light sigh. With a flip of his hand, he turned the clouds into rain, and with a single word from Zhang Lei or Ji Feng, the Shen family actually had the opportunity to return to life!

This also made Shen Jiucheng realize that what he did previously was indeed a little excessive.

He thought that he would be able to ignore Ji Feng's request just because he was with the Tong Family. This was because Zhang Lei was very obsessed with his daughter, and no matter what, he would prefer to be with his own family.

However, reality taught him a lesson.

This lesson left a deep impression on Shen Jiucheng!

Shortly after work, Shen Jiucheng met Mayor Zhao. The latter did not mention anything about the events of the past few days and just smiled as he invited Shen Jiucheng to the organ's cafeteria to eat, talking and laughing with him.

When this scene appeared in the eyes of everyone else in the cafeteria, the rumours from before crumbled.

Subsequently, good news continued to spread to the Shen family. Several bank leaders who were close to maturity contacted Shen Jiucheng, stating that they could consider extending the Shen family's loan as far as policy allowed.

Following that, one invitation after another was placed on Shen Jiucheng's phone. Some invited him to drink and eat, while others invited him to some sort of event.

The Shen family had finally found a foothold!

"In the end, I've still lost the opportunity to bid for the land in the West Bay!" Shen Jicheng couldn't help shaking his head. The bidding had already ended two days ago. Even if the Shen family had a solid foothold, they wouldn't have the chance to compete against them.

"This is a profound lesson!"

On the contrary, he felt that he was lucky. After this lesson, he understood that he was really too conceited previously, and was too arrogant. The stall was too big, and if there was even a little bit of trouble, the Shen Group would actually have a dangerous crisis.

It was time to take note of this!

What made Shen Jicheng feel the most sarcastic was that he originally thought that the martial arts mental cultivation method was the foundation of the Shen family, but now he realized, without the Shen family, the disciples of the Shen family would at most be able to rely on martial arts cultivation to earn a living and have a foothold, but, they would definitely not be able to live a luxurious life like they do now!
