Zhou Qianru recounted the case as if it made sense, but is that really the truth?
Chen Feng glanced at Ma Wenjiang, feeling sowhat unconvinced.
However, he's not going to delve deeply into the authenticity of this narrative and directly said: "I'm not a cop, whatever happened exactly at that ti, it's no use telling . You called over to act as a mouthpiece; I agreed. I'm just responsible for passing on what you want to say."
Zhou Qianru said: "I'm telling you this because I want you to know my husband was falsely accused and frad. I hope you can help clear his na."
She really doesn't treat him as an outsider, asking him right in front of her husband.
Ma Wenjiang then sincerely said: "Chairman Chen, I know you have a very good relationship with President Tao, he respects you greatly. In this matter, I admit defeat. We all agree to accept the decision from the relevant departnt to reclaim that piece of land. This is the main ssage we want you to convey to President Tao. Additionally, I hope he can be magnanimous and show rcy."
Ma Wenjiang's deanor and tone were quite humble at this point, but there's no choice given the circumstances are overwhelming, and he might end up in jail.
In such situations, what does it matter if he has billions of assets? What does it matter if he makes more money?
More important than money are life and freedom; otherwise, you might have the money but no life to spend it, or you might be locked in prison unable to enjoy it, which is pointless.
You could say Ma Wenjiang knows how to adapt quickly, turning into an honest and simple person after being taught a harsh lesson.
"Alright, I will pass on your words. Otherwise, there's nothing else I can help with. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Chen Feng didn't want to linger here; it would have been fine if it were only Zhou Qianru, but with Ma Wenjiang and others, it felt quite boring.
"You just ca and now you're leaving; you really don't consider us friends," Sun Yanhong stopped him with a familiar tone.
Zhou Qianru seed a bit displeased, saying: "I've already had lunch prepared, you're having it at my place."
Ma Wenjiang also played along, saying: "Chairman Chen, since you've co, not staying for lunch would make us seem too inhospitable."
"No need for lunch, it's still early for noon. If you have anything else to discuss, let know; otherwise, I'll be on my way."
Seeing Chen Feng speak so straightforwardly, Ma Wenjiang sighed and said: "The main hope is you could persuade President Tao to be lenient with us."
At this ti, Master Guan Yongsong spoke: "Chairman Chen, we genuinely admit defeat this ti. Please speak to President Tao properly. If you do us this favor, you'll be our honored guest in the future, and we'll surely not refuse any request we can help with."
Sun Yanhong tily introduced: "He is Guan Yongsong, the boss of Yongsong International, which has invested in several well-known companies including Good to Co Chain Supermarket, Qilin Chain Hotel, and Qimingxing Property."
Chen Feng knew about Good to Co Supermarket and Qilin Express Hotel and had patronized them before. He didn't realize they were this man's businesses, or rather that he's a shareholder.
"This is Li Bingcong, he's the general agent for Divine Power Express in the Xiu Zhou region, owning several logistics and transport companies."
Sun Yanhong also introduced Li Bingcong to Chen Feng.
Out of politeness, Chen Feng nodded to them.
Li Bingcong smiled and tried to get closer to Chen Feng: "Chairman Chen, I heard you're from Lu City, my wife happens to be a fellow countrywoman. My wife and I visit Lu City several tis a year to see the in-laws, so I'm definitely a Lu City son-in-law, which makes us half hotown fellows."
Though the words were a bit forced, it sowhat established rapport with Chen Feng.
"Chairman Chen, you see we sincerely want to befriend you and hope you can help Ma through this tough ti," Guan Yongsong looked at Chen Feng with a sincere smile.
Several eyes fell upon Chen Feng, who remained calm and smiled, saying: "I've said I will only pass on the ssage, other things are beyond and I don't want to get involved. And this situation with Boss Ma involves a criminal case, which makes powerless. If Boss Ma is really innocent, I believe the police won't wrongly accuse him."
This answer from Chen Feng was clearly unsatisfactory to them. Zhou Qianru asked with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Chen Feng, can't you really help? We all know you have the ability."
"I don't have that ability," Chen Feng shook his head, denying, then added, "This ti I'm delivering your ssage because of my connection with Yanhong and Qianru. As for further speaking or helping Boss Ma clear his na, first, I don't have that capacity, and second, our rapport hasn't reached that level."
Chen Feng is naturally straightforward, not one for beating around the bush. In his previous job, he managed to restrain this straightforwardness.
But now, with his wealth over billions, accompanied by extraordinary luck, and talking to people he isn't familiar with, there is really no need to be discreet, so he just made it clear.
Seeing Chen Feng this way, the group had varied expressions. Ma Wenjiang was about to speak when Guan Yongsong instead said: "We won't let you help us for nothing, the villa ntioned by Boss Ma earlier is a token of gratitude. If you have a way to clear his na, I think it can definitely be gifted to you free of charge, right Boss Ma?"
Ma Wenjiang promptly nodded: "Absolutely. If this passes smoothly, not only will the house in Red Villa Bay be gifted to Chairman Chen, but I can also offer a supercar."
Since Chen Feng spoke candidly, they decided to be direct as well, laying it out clearly to see if Chen Feng was tempted.
Ma Wenjiang's offer was a good millions; truly generous.
However, regarding his billions in assets, this expenditure was insignificant.
For others, it would be tough not to be tempted by such lavish car and house offers.
But Chen Feng was really not interested; he had more houses than he could live in, money was ample, with over a billion in cash lying in the bank.
Most importantly, making money was actually very easy for him, without any aningful challenge.
However, considering Zhou Qianru, Chen Feng felt no need to make enemies, so after thinking for a mont, he said: "I will try my best to talk to Brother Tao, to call it off without any further actions against you. Of course, I can't guarantee anything now, but I will do my utmost to convince him."
With these words, Guan Yongsong, Li Bingcong, and Sun Yanhong visibly brightened.
Sun Yanhong was even quick to say happily: "Chen Feng, you must keep your word."
She might not really fear Tao Yaoyang's moves against her, but if Chen Feng could persuade Tao Yaoyang to stop, it would obviously be best.
Li Bingcong also laughed and agreed: "Yes, Chairman Chen. I'm taking this seriously. If you can persuade President Tao to cease, the few of us will owe you a favor."
Since Ma Wenjiang's incident, Li Bingcong was sowhat frightened, even considering flying overseas temporarily to lay low.
