Duan Rui turned around and left directly.
"Mr. Duan, Mr. Duan, wait for me."
Chen Kaixuan watched Duan Rui turn and leave, feeling uncertain. Although it seemed from Duan Rui's tone that he would definitely make a move, he also realized that his previous performance was somewhat humiliating.
However, he could only hold onto Duan Rui's coattails now, otherwise, he would be doomed.
Forget about continuing to be a billionaire; even being a convict might be his best outcome.
Chen Kaixuan chased out of the meeting room.
Li Feng also stood up from his seat directly, but before he could step away, the big shots from Huacheng, who had watched a good show, snapped back to reality.
"Young Master Feng."
A few people, lacking confidence, felt uneasy when they thought of Li Feng's tactics. After Duan Rui left, they turned to Li Feng, seemingly wanting to explain.
Li Feng didn't bother with those who approached him. He had already given them a choice; since they refused his offer of peace, they couldn't blame him for being ruthless.
Li Feng strode off directly, followed only by Wei Lan.
Wang Qian lagged half a step behind, smirking coldly at those present: "Heh, so you're going against Young Master Feng."
"Those who owe me money better hurry up and gather the money. It's best if you can pay it back; if not, heh heh."
Wang Qian laughed coldly three times, then stepped out to follow.
The meeting room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Suddenly, a boss slammed his hand on the table angrily: "What on earth is this!"
Seeing the furious boss, the people nearby also shook their heads with bitter smiles.
"Isn't it just that? When gods fight, we suffer. This is like disaster falling out of the sky while sitting at home."
"It's over. Why did I get bewitched and listen to that Chen Kaixuan's nonsense? I'm going to be ruined by him this time."
The person next to him looked at the regretful middle-aged man: "Mr. Xia, you're in real estate development, so you must have financed a lot from Fatty Wang."
"Needless to say, the real estate industry is a capital-intensive industry. Whose money in real estate isn't borrowed? Besides, when Sihai went bankrupt, Mr. Xia's real estate company was well-fed and even developed two big projects."
Someone said sourly, with a touch of schadenfreude.
"White Fatty, you're kicking me while I'm down. Do you think you'll fare any better? Don't tell me you never borrowed money from Fatty Wang."
The two argued back and forth, and after they finished, the people present felt extremely awkward.
Because almost all of them had borrowed money from Wang Qian, it was hard to secure as much financing from banks as they desired.
Even though they had strong connections and backgrounds, the necessary procedures always had to be followed.
However, borrowing from Wang Qian was different; the procedures were simple, and they could get the money with just a signature, with interest rates not far from banks.
"If we can't repay the money, according to the loan agreement, our companies would have to change their surnames to Li."
Xia Longxing said through gritted teeth, even though it was easy to borrow from Wang Qian, money that was hard to get from banks could be easily borrowed from Wang Qian, but this was not a charity.
The loan terms stated that if the money was due and couldn't be repaid, the borrower would automatically forfeit company rights to the lender.
So as long as the lender demanded money, it meant his real estate company would change its surname, as the borrowed money exceeded all his assets.
And the reason things had been smooth was due to good relations; even in difficulties, there was room for negotiation, everyone benefiting mutually.
Now, what was previously disregarded suddenly became a fatal clause.
As soon as these words came out, most people turned pale; it seemed there was indeed such a clause in the loan agreement.
"If he really dares to do this, it will surely incite widespread anger."
An executive blustered timidly.
"Ha, you think he doesn't dare?"
"Did you really think Li Feng is just a fox borrowing the tiger's might, or a dog benefiting from others' power? He's not to be trifled with."
"What use is there in saying this now? We didn't leave earlier, who can we blame? Besides, his opponent this time is the Longevity Sect."
"Mr. Lin, sent by the Heavenly Dragon Group, is dispatched by that Lin Heavenly Master, who's reputedly influential and well-connected. Who the winner or loser of this fight will be is yet to be determined."
Someone stood up to speak.
"Hmph, regardless of who wins in the end, we're bound to suffer, an unprovoked disaster; who did we offend?"
"Young Master Feng."
In the elevator, Wei Lan turned to look at Li Feng.
"Hmm?"
Li Feng turned to look at Wei Lan, one of the four beauties of Huacheng, and his ex-wife's best friend.
After Li Feng acquired Qingcheng, Zhang Xue and her family left Yan Country, while Wei Lan was appointed by Li Feng as the new CEO of Qingcheng.
After all, Qingcheng Company was a fashion company that Li Feng never intended to manage personally. The acquisition was merely a vendetta against his ex-wife.
Since then, apart from the occasional text, they hadn't seen each other for over half a year.
Now, in her business suit as a CEO, Wei Lan exuded more dominance, her naturally charming face making her the quintessential beautiful CEO.
Upon turning, the faint scent of perfume on Wei Lan wafted into Li Feng's nose. The two stood close, his turn caused him to brush against Wei Lan's chest.
Wei Lan looked up at Li Feng: "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you're really planning to take on those people too?"
"Oh, are you pleading for them?"
Li Feng asked.
Wei Lan bit her lip: "Don't blame me for speaking out of turn, but the Heavenly Dragon Group behind Mr. Duan is formidable, unlike the facade of Sihai Group, and I've heard of the Lin Heavenly Master behind him too."
"This Lin Heavenly Master is an influential figure, with ties to many powerful people and reportedly holds a vast network of connections, with many requesting his services."
"Today, everyone in the meeting room hesitated because of this; it wasn't that they wanted to oppose you, but offending either side wasn't wise."
"Moreover, they are notable figures in Huacheng, each backed by family influences and patrons scattered throughout Huacheng. If you go against them, you'll be pushing them to the other side."
Wei Lan spoke, biting her lip, as she looked at Li Feng's expression.
"Are you worried I can't beat them?"
Li Feng turned his head to look at Wei Lan.
"No, no, it's just that it seems unnecessary." Wei Lan, feeling Li Feng's sharp gaze, instinctively took a half step back.
The result was that she was momentarily distracted, and her high heels twisted underfoot.
"Ah!"
Unsteady, Wei Lan was about to fall when, in the nick of time, Li Feng reached out and wrapped his arm around Wei Lan's waist, pulling her into his embrace.
Wei Lan steadied herself against Li Feng's body, only to feel embarrassed a second later.
"I didn't do it on purpose."
