Chapter 666 - No ConfidenceJi Feng felt that this possibility wasn"t small.
A few months ago, there was a rumor that Splendid Group was going to cooperate with Linghu Group and sell some of its most important resources and projects to Linghu Group. At that time, Ji Feng and He Hongwei decided to join forces to stop the cooperation between the martial arts families and the j.a.panese.Especially when He Hui brought the order personally issued by Chief Hong, or more accurately, it should be one of the tasks entrusted to him by Chief Hong himself. When He Hui arrived at Jiang Prefecture, Ji Feng agreed to follow him south without a second word.
However, before going to Nanyue, Ji Feng paid a special visit to Rong Peng and Rong Suoyan.
At that time, he had made an agreement with Rongpeng that if he succeeded in stopping the cooperation between the Brilliant Group and the j.a.panese, then Rongpeng would do everything in his power to help him.
It was a pity that Ji Feng had failed. He and He Hui had left Guangdong Province dejectedly. Although it could not be said to be a crus.h.i.+ng defeat, at least they had been defeated powerlessly.
Hence, after returning, Ji Feng didn"t look for Rongpeng because he felt a bit embarra.s.sed. After all, he was the one who didn"t fulfill the agreement.
Of course, there were many unexpected factors that led to Ji Feng"s failure. For example, he suddenly met with an attack from the dynasty, and even though he was heavily injured, Bai Zhu was still severely injured. If Zheng Yuanshan did not save him in time, then perhaps he and Bai Zhu would not be able to return.
This was a factor that completely exceeded Ji Feng"s expectations.
Ji Feng was also surprised by the resolute att.i.tude of the Wu Clan.
It was as if the Wu Clan was determined to cooperate with the Jings.h.i.+ Group of j.a.pan and was not affected by any interference from the outside world. Even if Ji Feng launched a strong public opinion attack, it would only delay the cooperation of the Wu Clan for a little, but it would not change the final result.
In the end, Ji Feng failed.
Now that Ji Feng thought about it, Rong Peng"s lack of confidence in himself was due to him not fulfilling his promise back then. That was why he felt that he wasn"t that strong and had lost all confidence in himself.
Or was there another reason?
As his mind raced, Ji Feng thought of many possibilities. However, in the end, he still decided to get straight to the point. "Uncle Rong, was it because I failed to prevent the cooperation between the j.a.panese and the Brilliant Group that you were discouraged?"
As he spoke, Ji Feng"s gaze was fixed on Rong Peng"s face.Rong Peng shook his head and laughed, "Young Master Ji is overthinking it. It"s normal that they can"t stop their cooperation. After all, it"s a normal business activity, so how could outsiders interfere? "
Ji Feng replied, "Uncle Rong always thought that way. But I, on the other hand, was too arrogant. I thought that there was nothing in this world that I couldn"t accomplish, yet I met with a mishap."
Rongpeng shook his head and said, "Actually, your attack is already very powerful. It"s just that an unexpected change occurred in the middle, which is why your efforts fell short. However, this is not something you can control. Frankly, if it were me, I wouldn"t be able to do this. "
Ji Feng smiled as he shook his head and said, "Uncle Rong, you don"t have to help me. A failure is a failure. There is no excuse, and there is no explanation."Rongpeng said, "Very few people are able to calmly admit their failures. Young Master Ji"s actions are truly admirable."
"Uncle Rong is too kind." Ji Feng smiled as he waved his hand, but in his heart, he couldn"t help but sigh.
When he had previously mentioned the collaboration between the Brilliant Group and the j.a.panese group, he had closely observed the changes in Rongpeng"s expression. However, up until now, he had not noticed any change in Rongpeng"s expression, much less any unexpected feelings.From this, it could be seen that Rongpeng had always been thinking about this matter.
Ji Feng was certain that Rong Peng"s reluctance to leave the mountain had something to do with this matter. At the very least, it had something to do with the Wu Clan.After carefully considering his words, Ji Feng then said, "Uncle Rong, a failure doesn"t mean an eternal failure. Moreover, even if we don"t target the Wu Clan, we still have to fight for our own sake, right?"
Rongpeng laughed and shook his head, saying, "Ah! He was old and couldn"t fight anymore. "This world belongs to you youngsters. With Young Master Ji"s abilities and elegance, it is easy for you to create a world. I believe Young Master Ji will definitely achieve something unprecedented, and I am also looking forward to seeing that day!"
Rongpeng"s words were filled with emotion, but it was followed by a sonorous and forceful tone. His eyes were filled with a sense of affirmation and encouragement, but he didn"t mention anything about him leaving the mountain. Ji Feng was left speechless.
Ji Feng tried to probe him again and again, but to no avail. Rongpeng did not try to escape, instead, he gave him a direct answer. He was already old and did not want to continue fighting in the mountains.
Ji Feng could only silently accept this. Since Rongpeng said he couldn"t fight anymore, he couldn"t possibly let him go fight him head on, right?
Hence, Ji Feng no longer talked about asking Rongpeng to come out of the sect. He didn"t even talk about the plan he had thought of last night.
Since Rong Peng was unwilling to leave the mountain, even if he could force himself to use an alluring plan to move him, it was not a long term solution.Hence, the two of them continued with their idle chatter. Ji Feng consulted Reng Peng about some of his business experiences as well as the things that happened back then. These were all extremely valuable treasures, and Ji Feng was able to learn many things from them.
As she was speaking, Rong Su Yan came back from outside. She was surprised to see Ji Feng, but she was also pleasantly surprised.After she went upstairs to change her clothes, she also came down to sit beside her father and chat with Ji Feng.
Ji Feng didn"t let the Rong family stay for too long. He stayed for over an hour before he stood up and prepared to leave. At this moment, it was already almost noon.After sending Ji Feng off, Reng Peng and his father returned to the main hall.
"Dad, why is Ji Feng here?" Ji Feng"s sudden arrival also made her feel a little strange."He wants me to come out again." Rong Peng said with a smile.
Rong Su Yan was startled: "Leaving the mountain? He wants you to come out and work again? "
"Yeah."Rong Peng said with a smile.
"Then did you agree to his request?"
"Daddy is already this old, he doesn"t have that much energy left!" Rongpeng said, "Now, I can often accompany your mother. During the day, I"ll go to the district"s event center to play chess and play cards with others. Life is very comfortable."Rong Luo Yan pursed her lips and smiled, "Dad, do you really not want to leave the mountain?"
Rongpeng laughed, "I can"t do it anymore. Pure Yan, in the future, this family will depend on you to support them. You must work harder."
"Isn"t it only right to raise you and my mom!" Rong Su Yan said, "However, I feel that you are still very young, so you plan to retire already? This isn"t good. "
"What? You still want your dad to go out and mess around?" Rong Peng said.
"Not to go out and stir up trouble, but to realize the dream that you have yet to realize." Rong Su Yan said, "Dad, you know that Ji Feng and the Wu family are at a stalemate. If you help them, the pressure on the Wu family will be even greater, moreover …""Little girl, you really think too highly of your father."
Rong Peng smiled as he shook his head and said, "How much pressure can one additional person bring to the Wu family? "You have seen what happened a while ago. Wu Clan endured so much pressure, and in the end, didn"t they still manage to resist the pressure and sell their projects and resources to j.a.pan?"
Rong Luo Yan asked, "Then … Are you worried that Ji Feng will not be able to win against the Wu Clan? "
Rongpeng said, "In this world, nothing is absolute. No one knows what will happen tomorrow. However, there is a probabilistic problem with everything, which is the same as when you make venture capital investments. "Rong Luo Yan asked hesitantly, "Dad, did you retreat?"
Rongpeng said, "It"s not about retreating, I have to think about our family. "Ever since we left South Guangdong and came to the Jiang Prefecture, we were like duckweed without roots, without roots, without backing, but unfortunately, we still have enough wealth to make some people jealous of us, and this wealth is something that we need to leave behind for our family. So, I must be careful, protect this wealth, and consider our family"s future."Rong Luo Yan couldn"t help but be silent.
She had to admit that her father was right. After leaving South Guangdong and coming to Jiangzhou, they had no foundation.
"Dad, I don"t think that"s right." Rong Su Yan said, "Leaving Guangdong Province is indeed causing us to lose our foundation, but it also means that we have no other way out. We can only move forward and keep moving forward! "
"But Daddy is old." Rongpeng said, "I can"t fight anymore. I don"t have that kind of courage!""I do!" Rong Su Yan said.
Rong Peng was startled, "What?"
He looked at his daughter, only to see her leave. Rong Peng couldn"t help but ask, "Where are you going?"
Rong Su Yan said: "Go and earn some money to support our family!""... "This child!"
Seeing Rong Su Yan leave with a slightly hurried pace, Rong Peng was momentarily at a loss. However, his eyes were a bit unsteady.
Ji Feng also did not expect that Rong Su Yan would catch up with him. Bai Zhu had already started the car, but he saw her in the rearview mirror.
"Young Master Ji, Miss Rong is here." White Pearl said.
"Hmm?"
Ji Feng was slightly surprised and immediately said, "White Pearl, stop the car."He jumped off the car and saw that Rong Suiyan had arrived before him, breathing rapidly. Perhaps it was because she was walking in a hurry, but her hair was slightly messy, giving her a unique charm.
"Ji Feng, I want to talk to you." Rong Luo Yan said.
"Of course!"Ji Feng happily nodded. He got along well with Rong Luoyan, and he also wanted to inquire about Rong Peng"s thoughts and plans from her.
