Chapter 145: Old Shen Was Terrified (1/2)

Zhang Dekai firmly refused to allow the two to join.

At the meeting, he had laid out these three red lines in front of Zhao Qingfeng, and it was impossible for him to go back on his word.

However, given Old Shen and Old Wang’s strong requests, he had no choice but to temporarily agree. After all, he was not busy this afternoon and wanted to see what the two of them were up to.

The four of them chatted for a while, and Liu Li was the first to take her leave.

She did this to give Old Shen and the others a chance. With her there, giving gifts would be inconvenient.

Seeing his opportunity, Old Shen wanted to say some more good words.

Just as he was about to speak, Shen Lingyao’s call came at an inopportune time.

Old Shen did not answer, giving a sheepish smile towards Zhang Dekai, “My daughter’s call, it’s nothing. Come on, let’s continue drinking.”

Zhang Dekai took a sip and asked, “Old Shen, how many children do you have? If you only have one daughter, you don’t need to fight so hard to be an agent, right?”

Old Shen finished his drink with a smile and answered, “Just this one child, she’s eighteen this year. Manager Zhang, to be honest, the reason I want to do this is to ensure my daughter can marry into a good family.”

Zhang Dekai found the topic rather light-hearted.

He continued to drink a couple more glasses, slowly unfolding the conversation.

Shen Kuo felt embarrassed not to answer, and shared quite a few stories about Shen Lingyao.

Wang Tieshan also chimed in from the side, sharing quite a bit about Wang Jian.

But neither of them mentioned Zhao Qingfeng, feeling it somewhat inappropriate to do so.

Because the young man didn’t seem to have any particularly impressive highlights.

They did not bring it up.

Manager Zhang, however, couldn’t help but mention it.

Zhao Qingfeng’s legendary story was indeed too good to boast about.

He lit a cigarette, took a drag, then held it in his hand, excitedly saying with his fingers pointed.

“I say, you two brothers.”

“Both of your children are not bad.”

“But you may not know why Erlunsi decided to undergo a complete reform, right?”

“To be honest, this was not my suggestion, nor was it the chairman’s proposal, but a decision made by an eighteen-year-old young man.”

“Haha, I know you might not believe it when I say it because this young man is the same age as your children.”

“But there’s nothing new under the sun, and when the facts are before your eyes, you can’t help but believe.”

“Our company’s new Chief Operating Officer Zhao is definitely a rare young genius.”

“Do you know what it means to turn the tide, what it means to shock everyone?”

“Can you believe that an eighteen-year-old young man argued with a group of scholars and managed to win over all our company’s shareholders in less than a day!”

“Really, I admire him so much. Today, since we are talking about children, if I don’t properly share this with you, my mouth would be wasted!”

“Where should I start, let’s talk about his identity first.”

“Our Chief Operating Officer Zhao, his name is Zhao…”

Before he could say ‘Qingfeng’, Old Shen’s phone rang again, still from Shen Lingyao.

Seeing Manager Zhang’s enthusiasm interrupted, Old Shen quickly gave a sheepish laugh, hurriedly hung up, and asked Manager Zhang to continue.

But Shen Lingyao seemed to be possessed, calling over and over again.

The ringing of the phone kept sounding in the private room, causing Old Shen to frown.

“Alright, alright, you go ahead and answer it!”

Manager Zhang was somewhat displeased.

His moment of pride had not been fully expressed, which was really frustrating.

Shen Kuo, helpless and worried that there might be something wrong at home, bowed and with a frown, walked outside.

But once he heard that Shen Lingyao was just asking if he was coming home for dinner tonight, he immediately replied with slight annoyance, “Yaoyao, Dad is discussing important matters right now. Is it necessary to call so many times just for a meal?”

But that wasn’t all.

Shen Lingyao giggled excitedly, “Dad, I also wanted to tell you about the Brother Qingfeng! His boss came yesterday and gave him 200,000 yuan. He paid off all our family’s debts and even sent 100,000 yuan for Teacher Yan’s medical treatment. Isn’t he impressive? Come on, say it, isn’t he very responsible!”

Shen Lingyao so hoped for her father’s approval.

Unfortunately.

After listening, Shen Kuo not only did not praise her but almost got scared to death.

How much money.

200,000 yuan?

With his life experience, he absolutely did not believe that Zhao Qingfeng could earn so much money just by repairing computers!

Trouble.

In an instant, Shen Kuo suddenly felt dizzy.

Could it be that the boy was forced by his three aunts to do something bad?

Otherwise.
