The brothers Zhang Qibo and Zhang Qitao used to have a pretty good relationship. It was only in recent years that they beca sowhat distant, mainly because Zhang Qibo's position was a bit sensitive, requiring so distance.
After all, they are blood brothers; even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. Moreover, since Zhang Qibo is in trouble this ti, Zhang Qitao, as a younger brother, must do everything he can to help rescue him.
For this reason, he has expended quite a bit of social capital, even putting his face on the line several tis.
However, after a few days, the results were not very effective.
It wasn't until Cui Yushu ntioned Chen Feng to him that things changed. Of course, Cui Yushu wasn't foolish enough to tell Zhang Qitao the whole truth – that his conflict with Chen Feng led Chen Feng to retaliate by implicating his backer, Zhang Qibo.
If he had told it this way, either Zhang Qitao wouldn't believe it, or if he did, wouldn't he just find fault with him and his wife?
Cui Yushu is a smart man and wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
When he ntioned Chen Feng to Zhang Qitao, he simply said that Chen Feng had a very deep background and significant influence, using Fan Xin's case as an example. He also said that he had known Chen Feng for so ti and had recently made significant efforts to ask Chen Feng for help so that Zhang Qibo could get through this smoothly.
But two days had passed, and there was no substantial response from Chen Feng's side, nor any concrete news from Zhang Qibo. He was anxious but couldn't directly contact Chen Feng, fearing that might annoy Chen Feng and backfire.
Now that he learned Chen Feng was pursuing Zhang Jingwen and that Jingwen had signed with Chen Feng's company, it was quite appropriate for Zhang Qitao, as Zhang Jingwen's father and Zhang Qibo's brother, to reach out to Chen Feng, speak about the matter, and maybe nudge Chen Feng.
After a couple of hours of preparation, during which they had just enjoyed a lavish lunch, Zhang Qitao straightforwardly broached the topic of seeking Chen Feng's help.
It turned out that Zhang Qibo was the very Zhangxx Cui Yushu had ntioned previously, sothing Chen Feng hadn't expected before coming over. Fortunately, he was ntally prepared, knowing that the other party must have sothing in mind when inviting him.
After pretending to ponder for a while, Chen Feng finally said, "If I can help, I definitely will. It's just that the underlying connections are quite complex here; it's not sothing that can be easily resolved."
Chen Feng was forced to speak with such sophistication.
The Cui Yushu couple and the people here from the Zhang family all regarded him as an imnsely capable figure, seemingly able to free Zhang Qibo with just a word.
With the Cui Yushu couple, he could still engage in verbal sparring and enigmas. But with the Zhang family, he found it inappropriate to do so. Apart from his relationship with Zhang Jingwen, he didn't harbor any dislike or grudges against the Zhang family, so he wouldn't intentionally offend them if he didn't need to.
Saying a few nice words costs nothing, and there's no harm in saying them to them.
Of course, he wasn't foolishly overpromising, not because he lacked the ability, but even if he had it, he wouldn't do such a thing.
But the Zhang family took Chen Feng's words as a promise to help, and smiles appeared on their faces.
Zhang Qitao looked at him with a grateful expression and said, "Ah Feng, I knew you would help. Jingwen's uncle has always been honest and public-spirited, never involved in any illegal activities. This ti, he's been wrongly accused. He shouldn't suffer such injustice."
Chen Feng nodded in agreent, "I also believe he's innocent, and trust he'll be out soon."
Chen Feng's words made the Zhang family even happier. Zhang Qitao, smiling, said, "Thanks to your kind words, if Jingwen's uncle manages to get through this, you will be our Zhang family's benefactor. Our entire family, including Jingwen, will be very grateful to you."
In his words, Zhang Qitao repeatedly emphasized Jingwen's uncle, clearly using Jingwen to garner favor.
Chen Feng understood the aning behind it, smiled, and said, "Uncle Zhang is blessed by providence; he might be able to co out soon, even without my help."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Qitao imdiately said, "Ah Feng, you just agreed to help, so I still hope you can lend a hand, whether it's necessary or not."
Zhang Qitao's sister-in-law, Qu ifeng, also implored earnestly at this ti, "Little Chen, Jingwen's uncle has truly been wronged this ti, and we hope you can lend a hand. Our entire family will rember your kindness."
"You're being too polite. I'll keep this in mind and make so inquiries once I return. Hopefully, we can get Zhangxx out."
"Alright then, we'll leave it to you."
...
After discussing the matter, Chen Feng didn't linger much longer and took the opportunity to leave. The Zhang family collectively saw him off at the door, watching as he drove away.
"Brother, do you think he really has that much capability?"
As soon as Chen Feng left, Qu ifeng asked doubtfully and worriedly.
Before Zhang Qitao could respond, Zhang Ziliang eagerly said, "Aunt, don't worry. Although he appears unremarkable, he actually has significant influence. In the film industry, especially in our Xiu Zhou, he's quite infamous. If he truly wants to help our uncle, I think there's hope; the worry is whether he sincerely wants to help."
Zhang Qitao agreed, "Ziliang is right. This person is quite accomplished at a young age, not soone to underestimate. The key issue is whether he sincerely wants to help us. We still need Little Wen to help exert so gentle pressure; Ziliang, you should tell Little Wen."
Zhang Ziliang was sowhat reluctant, hesitating, "Little Wen is shooting in the crew; wouldn't informing her about her uncle's situation distract her?"
Zhang Qitao glared and said, "What's more important: her filming or her uncle's situation? Call her imdiately, inform her about her uncle, then have her call Chen Feng herself. Our face definitely ans less than hers."
Hearing his father say this, Zhang Ziliang had no choice but to agree.
Consequently, shortly after Chen Feng returned ho, he received a call from Zhang Jingwen.
"Boss, I just learned about my uncle. I know you have considerable influence, so please, you must help."
Zhang Jingwen said anxiously.
"I've already discussed this with your dad; wherever I can help, I definitely will."
Though Chen Feng said this, he ntally added: if I can't help, then naturally, I won't.
In fact, regarding Zhang Qibo's matter, he indeed couldn't help.
But from Zhang Jingwen's perspective, just like her family, she naturally assud that Chen Feng would certainly help.
"Thank you." Zhang Jingwen sincerely thanked Chen Feng, "My uncle has always been good to ; I truly didn't expect this to happen to him. Boss, you must keep your word and help rescue him."
Towards the end, Zhang Jingwen's voice was sowhat choked.
Even a proud woman like Zhang Jingwen had her vulnerable monts. Chen Feng felt a bit emotional and casually comforted her, "Don't worry, your uncle should be fine."
