Lin Feng stood beside Chen Tang, his face so contorted with struggle it twisted!
Refuse Chen Tang?
Without a doubt, Chen Tang would have published the evidence without any hesitation, and then Lin Feng would spend the remainder of his life in prison!
Previously, Lin Feng thought Chen Tang was really a useless wimp, but now he realized that everyone had been mistaken.
This seemingly useless wimp wasn’t weak at all.
Since Chen Tang held devastating evidence against him, Lin Feng feared no one else could escape either.
But if he agreed to Chen Tang’s demands, Lin Feng knew he would likely never have a chance to turn the tables.
The core power of Lin Group, worth several billion, would likely be out of his reach.
Just as Chen Tang was about to utter the last count, Lin Feng caved in, “Grandma…
I have something to say!”
Hmm?
At this moment, everyone’s gaze focused on Lin Feng and Chen Tang.
The inexplicable words that Chen Tang spoke to Lin Feng just moments ago had piqued everyone’s curiosity.
What exactly had happened in the alley two years ago?
Grandma sat at the head, shifting her body slightly, “Ah-Feng, speak!”
Lin Feng took a deep sigh, gave Chen Tang a deep look, and then began, “Grandma, after thoughtful consideration, I deeply feel that my personal capacity is insufficient, and I’m not capable enough to take on this significant responsibility.
I suggest that Cousin Chu Xue takes on the role of President of Lin Group!
I would rather be a playboy, free to eat and drink without care!”
“…”
Nani?
Did I hear that right?
All those present had an extremely interesting look on their faces, utterly baffled!
What’s going on?
Hadn’t Lin Feng been leaping to his feet just moments ago, determined to have the position?
And in the blink of an eye, he changed his mind and didn’t want the presidency?
This doesn’t make sense!
Grandma almost stood up from her chair, “Ah-Feng, what are you talking about?
Are you feverish?” Grandma’s breathing became a bit rushed.
The situation of this coup had been planned for years by Lin Feng, Grandma, Lin Zhong, and others.
And now, just one step away from victory, Lin Feng was having second thoughts?
To step down and yield to another in front of so many people?
Has he gone mad?
Lin Feng felt as miserable inside as if he had eaten excrement, but with the evidence against him in Chen Tang’s hands, even with a thousand reluctances, he could only follow the path planned by Chen Tang.
“Grandma need not worry, I am very clear-headed now!
After my brother-in-law enlightened me, I truly recognized my mistakes and shortcomings, and I should apologize to him and Cousin Chu Xue!
Grandma, Father, Third Uncle, there’s no need to persuade me, I’ve made up my mind.
I will never take on the presidency, I earnestly recommend Cousin Chu Xue…”
Lin Feng dared not accept the presidency; if he did, it would indeed lead to his death!
Vehement accusations, murder!
It would be enough to keep Lin Feng in prison for more than a decade!
How many decades does one have in life?
Lin Feng spoke so earnestly that even Chen Tang nearly believed him.
This guy, not going into acting was such a waste.
With Lin Feng being so adamant, how could Grandma continue to forcibly push Lin Chuxue out of the presidency?
Even if they forced Lin Chuxue out of the position, who would take over as president of Lin Group?
Second Uncle and Third Uncle, along with Grandma, were of advanced age and had hardly managed the company.
It would be impossible for them to run the company!
Lin Feng’s father, Lin Zhong, was the most anxious.
“Mother, this…
Ah-Feng, he…”
Lin Zhong knew his son well and knew that if it wasn’t a matter of life and death, Lin Feng would definitely not be spouting nonsense here.
The grandmother frowned and turned to glance at Chen Tang.
It was after a conversation with Chen Tang that Lin Feng had started speaking nonsense.
“Chen Tang, what exactly did you say to Ah-Feng?”
Just as Chen Tang was about to speak, Lin Feng interjected, “Grandma, you don’t need to make things difficult for my brother-in-law, he really didn’t say much!
All he did was passionately persuade me, and I felt that he was right, that’s all!”
As Lin Feng spoke, he hurriedly walked over to his grandmother and father, Lin Zhong.
“What exactly is going on?
Ah-Feng!” As Lin Feng approached, Lin Zhong, with an ominous expression on his face, urgently asked Lin Feng.
With a look of dejection, Lin Feng said, “Grandma, Dad…
the incident from two years ago, Chen Tang knows about it, and he has photos and some key evidence…
I had no choice but to cave in…”
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, both the grandmother and Lin Zhong’s eyes flickered with shock.
When they looked at Chen Tang again, their expressions were more complex.
The incident involving Lin Feng two years ago was, of course, known to both the grandmother and Lin Zhong.
To protect their grandson (son), they had both given advice and used their connections.
And now Chen Tang knew about that incident?
And he had photos!
This Chen Tang, what a deep game he plays!
Chen Tang faced the grandmother’s gaze without flinching, and said indifferently, “Grandma, now that Lin Feng himself has given up the position of president, according to what you said earlier, it seems that only Chu Xue is fit to take over, right?
Does anyone else have any objections?”
Chen Tang was infuriatingly provocative, deliberately asking the second uncle, third uncle, great uncle, and little aunt, “Since everyone is here, if anyone has any objections, let’s hear them!”
Seeing Chen Tang’s infuriating demeanor, Lin Zhong truly felt like biting him.
What is there to say!
Now that Lin Feng had backed down, what was there for them to fight over?
All eyes were now on the grandmother.
The key to this issue was still her decision.
The grandmother was so angry that her face turned pale, but with Chen Tang holding leverage over Lin Feng, she couldn’t just watch Lin Feng be sent away.
In the matter of the presidency, the grandmother had no choice but to compromise.
“Fine, since Ah-Feng is unwilling to take on the role of president, then let Chu Xue continue to serve.
This matter is settled!” The grandmother made the final decision, causing the second uncle and third uncle, and the aunt, although dissatisfied, to keep silent.
Lin Chuxue, standing beside Chen Tang, took a long, relieved breath.
It seemed like a no-win situation in a battle of wills, but because of a few sentences between Chen Tang and Lin Feng, the issue was resolved?
Lin Chuxue felt like she was dreaming.
“Chen Tang, what exactly did you say to Lin Feng?” Lin Chuxue asked quietly, taking Chen Tang’s arm.
Chen Tang gave a mysterious smile, “That’s a secret!”
Gu Zhenshan, who was next to them, also leaned in, eyeing Chen Tang thoughtfully, “Young Chen, you’re really something, haha!”
Everyone sat down in the hall, and Manager Lin Zhong invited everyone to enjoy some pastries while waiting for a few more guests to arrive before starting the banquet.
Naturally, the one they were waiting for was Zhao Chengyi from the Zhao’s Group mentioned earlier by Lin Feng!
Zhao Chengyi was coming today to compete with Chen Tang for his wife, but Chen Tang didn’t have much of a reaction.
Chen Tang also had something on Zhao Chengyi!
At the head table, the grandmother and the second uncle, the third uncle, the great uncle, and the aunt were quietly conferring with one another about something.
Chen Tang, Lin Chuxue, and Gu Zhenshan, seated at a table behind, were chatting away merrily.
About ten minutes later, a cheerful young man’s voice sounded at the entrance of the hall, “Grandma, I am sorry for being late, so sorry!” A young man in a white suit swiftly entered the hall, and his eyes lit up when he saw Lin Chuxue, “Chu Xue, you’ve become even more beautiful since I last saw you a few days ago, I really like you so much!”
