Chapter 120: Two Old Men Quarrel

  After dinner, Chu Zifeng chatted with three aunts, three uncles, three female cousins and Mu Rongzhen in the living room. They naturally talked about Chu Zifeng's affairs, his life over the past eighteen years, every detail, big or small, Zhao Jin Yan and others all wanted to know.

  When Chu Zi Feng mentioned that four years ago, he caused a stir in the Jiangxi painting circle with a "Lonely Orphan's New Year Painting", and was then suppressed by those so-called masters, Zhao Jianyan and others were very indignant. You Ran Yin and her three sisters also gritted their teeth, saying they wanted to go to Jiangxi to destroy those guys.

  When Chu Zifeng mentioned the top scorer in the college entrance examination, Zhao Jianyan and others found it strange. The top scorer in Jiangxi Province was only three points less than the national top scorer. Why didn't Chu Zifeng grasp it well at that time and get those three points? Of course, Chu Zifeng wouldn't take this matter to heart, and he deliberately let it go at that time.

  Until Chu Zi Feng finished talking about his experiences in Yanjing University, everyone in the Zhao family was so angry that they wished they could rush to Yanjing immediately and shoot all those people from the Huo family.

  However, since the change of dynasty is imminent, Zhao Zhenyan and his cohorts will not cause trouble for Zhao Zhenhong at this time. Even if they want to destroy the three families in Yanjing, they will have to wait until after Zhao Zhenhong takes power, and then it will be a legitimate move to eliminate those three families.

  As for Chu Yuanshan and his son, along with Zhao Shumin's wife and Zhao JinHong, they were not chatting with the Chu Zifeng group at this moment. Several people were all seated in Zhao Shumin's study, as if discussing something.

  Zhao Shumin's study does not have the elegant atmosphere of a bookworm, all the books here are military tactics and the like, there is no romantic novel. On the wall hangs many old photos, all of which are Zhao Shumin's young years of swindling people and being in power, then some rifles and military knives that can't be used anymore.

  "Uncle, I plan to wait until your birthday is over, then take Zifeng back to our old home in Shanghai for a while. After that, I'll have Tianyong take Zifeng to the United States to complete his studies. Later, he can take over Tenglong Group and the entire Chu family. Do you and Aunt have any opinions on this?"

  Chu Yuanshan's words made Zhao Xunhong take a surprise first, which was also her biggest concern.

  "Father, actually I think the domestic education in recent years has been very good, there is no need to send Zifeng abroad to study. Moreover, regarding Zifeng's future prospects, I have also thought about it and feel that Zifeng is more suitable for a career in politics!"

  "Chu Yuanshan said, "Jin Hong, I know what you're thinking. For you, doing business is a huge risk, but don't worry about that. The Teng Long Group is not like other companies, it doesn't need Zi Feng to struggle step by step. In this world, there are only a few people who can shake the foundation of the Teng Long Group. So after Zi Feng takes over, as long as he follows the usual routine, there won't be any problems."

  Zhao Shumin said, "Old friend, I also think that Zifeng's career in politics or the military is much better than doing business. After all, Tian Xiong is still young now, and he can take care of Tenglong Group for decades to come. As for what happens later, we'll just have to wait and see."

  "Father-in-law, you're not right to say that. You should also know that Zifeng is my eldest grandson, and it's only natural for him to take over the family business. Tianxiong took over from me, and now Zifeng will naturally take over from Tianxiong. Moreover, you're also very clear about our Chu family's situation - apart from Tianxiong, none of my other sons or grandsons have the ability to manage the massive Tenglong Group well. If I were to hand it over to them when I'm gone, I estimate that Tenglong Group would collapse!"

  Zhao Shumin said: "Old relatives, you also know the situation of our Zhao family. Zifeng is the only male heir of the third generation of our Zhao family. He must be in politics. I have already thought about his path. After he graduates from university, I will first put him in the army for a few years to temper him, and then put him in local government for a few years. When he turns 30, he will return to Beijing and enter the Central Military Commission. He will start as an instructor or something similar and step by step climb up. When his age is right, he can naturally become Premier like Hong Qi, and then sit on the number one leader's seat."

  It seems that these two elderly people have already arranged everything for Chu Zifeng, but this is just their own wishful thinking. They haven't even asked Chu Zifeng about it, and not even Zhao Hong knew that his father had such an idea - to push his son into the position of First Leader. However, even if that's the case, it would still be a matter of several decades later, and before the age of 50, it is absolutely impossible to reach the position of First Leader!

  Chu Yuan Shan would never agree to let Chu Zi Feng get involved in that political whirlpool, saying: "Brother-in-law, what's good about getting mixed up in politics? Every day you have to worry about national affairs. Look at Hong Niang, she's only 40 years old this year, and her white hair is more than mine when I was her age. Zi Feng has suffered for 18 years, that's enough. As his grandfather, I won't let him worry about those national affairs again."

  "Chu Yuanshan, it seems like you want to be against me."

  "This isn't clear at all, what a waste of words."

  "You..."

  "Who are you? I'm your grandfather and what I say goes. Zi Feng is a member of the Chu family, so you can just leave now."

  "Chu Yuanshan, don't go too far. I've told you before, Zifeng must follow my arrangements. Your Chu family is no different from a wolf's den. If he goes there, he'll only learn bad things."

  "You old rascal, how dare you speak like that? What's the difference between our Chu family and a wolf den? If our Chu family is a wolf den, then the political circle isn't much better."

  "You old Chu, back then you raised your son to be what kind of person, causing such a huge mess! Are you trying to turn my grandson into another Chu Tianxiong too?"

  "I have my own way of educating, and my method is naturally different from yours. What's wrong with Tian Xiong? Others can also learn from him to make trouble, but do others have the ability to make trouble?"

  "Alright, I won't argue with you. In short, don't think about taking Zi Feng away from China. Although this old bone of mine has long since retired, there isn't a single soldier in the entire nation who dares to disobey my words."

  "Alright, you want to fight? No big deal, I'll just stir up another Asian storm."

  The two old men were about to fight, and Chu Tianxiong and Zhao Jinhong immediately pulled them apart. Yang Zhenxian didn't know what to do at this time. Chu Yuanshan was a man of his word, and with his current abilities, he was even more capable than 40 years ago. If he really did that, not to mention the turmoil that would occur in various Asian countries, just one sentence from the Tenglong Group would cause China's economic market to collapse by half!

  These two old men, one with a gun and the other with money, if they really clashed, it wouldn't be just for fun!

  "Alright, you two are almost 200 years old combined, what's the point of arguing? Can't you just discuss things calmly and peacefully?" Yang Zhenxian said.

  Zhao Shumin said: "I'm too lazy to argue with this stubborn old man, he's looking for trouble himself."

  "I'm too lazy to argue with an old fool like you!"

  Chu Tianxiong said: "Dad, father-in-law, actually you two are still discussing the issue of Zi Feng's future here, aren't you? I think this matter is beyond your control!"

  The two elders looked at Chu Tianxiong, and Chu Yuanshan asked, "What do you mean I can't handle it? In this world, there's nothing I can't handle, let alone something concerning my own grandson."

  "Dad, you really can't control this. I didn't want to say anything about it at first, but since you're all making such a big deal out of it now, if I don't speak up, you'll definitely end up fighting!"

  "Speak quickly if you have something to say, don't add fuel to the fire!"

  "Dad, father-in-law, actually, Zifeng has already established his own career in Yanjing, so you don't have to worry about his affairs anymore!"

  "What? Zi Feng has his own business? He's only eighteen, what kind of business could he possibly have?" Yang Zhen Xian asked.

  "Mother-in-law, don't forget that Zifeng is my and Hong's son, so he's naturally different from other kids. I'm not sure if you've heard recently, but someone has been using the name of our Tenglong Group to acquire Yanjing's Sihai Group?"

  Zhao Hong said: "At that time I was in Yanjing, and I also saw the news about this matter. Wasn't it you who sent out that piece of news?"

  "Come on, you should know my personality well. If I were to acquire a company, it wouldn't be that troublesome."

  "Is... isn't that Zi Feng?"

  "That's right, it was all done by Zi Feng. He first spread a false message in the name of Teng Long Group, saying that we were going to acquire Hai Shi Group, causing their stock price to plummet. Then he secretly bought up Hai Shi Group's shares and even used his hacking skills to maliciously attack Hai Shi Group, forcing its three shareholders to sell all their shares to him at a price of 10 million yuan."

  Chu Tianxiong's words shocked Chu Yuanshan first, who asked: "One hundred million, to acquire a company?"

  "Yes."

  "Haha, good, it's no wonder I'm the grandson of Chu Yuanshan, with a business mind. Spending 10 million to acquire a listed company, what's the difference between that and swindling?"

  Zhao Jianhong said: "I heard at the time that the hacker who maliciously attacked the Four Seas Group was the most famous 'Shentong' among the five extremes in recent years! Could it be that this 'Shentong' is actually Zifeng?"

  Chu Tianxiong replied, "It's just Zi Feng. Also, the hacker 'Dong Xie' who collaborated with Zi Feng is actually Huang Chang, the eldest daughter of the Huang family in Beijing. In addition to this, before coming to Beijing, Zi Feng also started a bodyguard company with the youngest son of the Iron Family in Beijing and the youngest son of a business family in Yanjing. The members of that bodyguard company were either ancient martial artists or ability users."

  Chu Tianxiong told half of what Chu Zifeng had done in Yanzheng, of course, those that shouldn't be said he wouldn't say, otherwise Zhao Hong would worry again!

  Zhao Shumin sighed and said, "Since Zifeng already has his own business, it's useless for us to arrange anything for him. Forget it, let Zifeng go on his own for now, we'll talk about the future later."

  Chu Yuanshan also said: "Since Zi Feng already has his own company, Tian Xiong, you'd better take good care of him. However, kids will inevitably fall when they first start out, and when he falls, don't go help him up, only when he gets up by himself will he be able to go further."

  Chu Tianxiong nodded, this was Chu Yuanshan's educational method, just like him, he would never take action unless it was a matter of life and death. If the elders had to intervene in everything, then the children would never be able to truly grow up.
