The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 307: Compensation

After Ye Chenfeng and Zhao Wanting left, Ji Weiguo and Wei Yongjian learned of Ye Chenfeng’s true identity from Zou Zedong. Both were filled with deep regret; it was Ji Weiguo himself who destroyed the glimmer of hope for curing his malignant cancer, and Wei Yongjian had also brought his previously smooth career to an end. When all was said and done, they could only blame their own shortsightedness.

Zou Zedong had repeatedly admonished both of them to be courteous to Ye Chenfeng. If only they had heeded Zou Zedong’s words, they wouldn’t be in their current predicament!

Seeing his old friend Zou Zedong, a pale-faced Ji Weiguo’s eyes suddenly ignited with a spark of hope. He spoke again, his tone no longer that of an untouchable authority in international medicine, "Zedong, you must help me with this! It was my attitude that was terrible before. I will definitely apologize to Mr. Ye in person."

"Yes! Principal Zou, can you please bring Mr. Ye back? I, Wei Yongjian, want to apologize to him in person." Now that Wei Yongjian’s secretary position was at risk, where could he afford to worry about his pride! The most important thing was, was there any chance of turning this situation around?

Looking at the contrite Ji Weiguo and Wei Yongjian in front of them, had these two really forgotten how they just recently mocked Ye Chenfeng? After witnessing Ye Chenfeng’s ability to cure cancer, were they still so arrogant, even trying to use their status to press him? And now that they knew Ye Chenfeng’s identity, were they surprised?

Zou Wenhai tugged at Zou Zedong’s sleeve and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Dad, please don’t be confused now. Ji Weiguo and Wei Yongjian have offended Mr. Ye so thoroughly. Moreover, Mr. Ye came to the hospital today on our behalf, only to be ridiculed and satirized. If you ask for Mr. Ye’s help again, he is sure to take offense at our family."

"If Ji Weiguo considered you a friend, would he repeatedly shame you like this? You’ve told him many times that Mr. Ye possesses high medical skills. Did he believe you? Our current relationship with Mr. Ye is extremely rare, and the blame can only be placed on Ji Weiguo and Wei Yongjian. Besides, even if you ask Mr. Ye for help again, it’s uncertain whether he will intervene!"

After hearing his son’s words, Zou Zedong sighed helplessly in his heart and said, "Weiguo, Secretary Wei, I can’t help you with this matter. My relationship with Chenfeng isn’t as close as you think. Chenfeng came to the hospital today not because I have great influence but because he values relationships. But what face do I have to call him again after what you did to Chenfeng just now...?"

Remembering Ji Weiguo and Wei Yongjian’s aggressive behavior towards Ye Chenfeng, Zou Zedong felt a surge of indignation.

Ji Weiguo and Wei Yongjian opened their mouths but in the end, said nothing. Truly, considering how they had behaved earlier, it would be odd if Ye Chenfeng came back. Regret spread overwhelming in their hearts, but there was no medicine for regret and no device to turn back time in this world. As the saying goes, every cause has its effect, and this was a situation they had brought upon themselves.

After stepping out of the ward, Zou Wenhai called Ye Chenfeng’s mobile number, "Mr. Ye, I am truly sorry about what happened today. My father didn’t expect things to turn out this way."

"Uncle Zou, it isn’t your family’s fault. As for your transfer to the provincial office this year, I’ve already mentioned it over the phone to my grandfather. There certainly won’t be any issues with that," Ye Chenfeng’s dislike was solely aimed at Ji Weiguo and Wei Yongjian.

"Mr. Ye, I truly don’t know how to thank you enough. You’ve helped our Zou family so much. Mr. Ye, you should come visit us more often!" On the phone, Zou Wenhai excitedly expressed his gratitude to Ye Chenfeng.

...

Ji Weiguo and Wei Yongjian’s incident was but a small ripple in Ye Chenfeng’s life. Time flew by quickly, and within the span of a week, Zhao Wanting and Tang Xin grew closer. Ye Chenfeng also found himself pondering how to further enhance his Soul Force when he had free time.

That day, Zhao Wanting decided to return to the Zhaos to apologize to her parents. Now as Zhao Wanting’s man, Ye Chenfeng naturally was to accompany her to meet his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.

However, today the villa of the Zhaos was far from peaceful. Gu Yanshan and his son, Gu Hongyu, had come to cause trouble. Ever since the day their engagement ceremony was disrupted, the Gu family had become a laughingstock in Tianhai’s business circles, which immensely embarrassed Gu Yanshan. How could he possibly swallow such humiliation?

In the living room of the Zhao family’s villa, Zhao Wanting’s father, Zhao Qihua, and mother, Ding Yufen, were apologizing to father and son Gu Yanshan and Gu Hongyu. After all, it was their daughter, Zhao Wanting, who had publicly left the engagement ceremony with Ye Chenfeng.

Gu Yanshan, seated on the sofa, said nothing. It was Gu Hongyu, sitting beside him, who spoke up discontentedly, "The Zhaos must give us an explanation for this incident. Do you have any idea how our family has become the laughingstock of Tianhai because of this?"

During the engagement ceremony, Gu Hongyu had been slapped by Ye Chenfeng, losing several teeth. Now, Gu Hongyu’s mouth was filled with dentures, and the bruises on his face had not yet fully faded!

"Hongyu, watch how you speak," Gu Yanshan started without emotion, "Qihua, my son actually makes some sense. Since it seems we are not fated to be relatives by marriage, I have no wish for our Gu family to turn into enemies with the Zhaos. However, considering your daughter was at fault, shouldn’t there be some compensation for our family?"

"Yanshan, you’re right. Just state your demands," Zhao Qihua replied with a forced smile, eager to resolve the issue quickly, especially since the Gu family wielded slightly more influence in Tianhai than the Zhaos did. After all, businesspeople prefer peaceful and profitable relationships.

"Qihua, out of respect for our past relationship, I don’t want to make this difficult for you. Your family has disgraced ours. Just hand over ten percent of the shares in your companies. Let’s settle the matter with that."

Gu Yanshan spoke lightly, but Zhao Qihua’s face had already darkened. Ten percent of Zhao Qihua’s shares were worth at least tens of billions! Gu Yanshan was clearly making an outrageous demand.

"Yanshan, you’re not joking with me, are you?" Zhao Qihua asked, trying to remain calm.

"Do I look like I’m joking? If you don’t accept this demand today, our Gu family will stand against the Zhaos from here on out. With our family’s capabilities in Tianhai’s business circles, we could significantly devalue your assets. I hope you understand the consequences of that. Your daughter is to blame for all this," said Gu Yanshan, his sneer revealing his true feelings.

"This is my father lessening his demands already. Your shameless bitch of a daughter, who has always pretended to be pure in front of me, seems to have learned it from her mother," Gu Hongyu blurted out, the anger reigniting within him as he recalled the events of the engagement ceremony.

Hearing these insinuations, Ding Yufen’s face flushed with anger. Zhao Qihua held her hand and said, "Gu Yanshan, isn’t your son’s language a bit too extreme?"

"How could the words of a young man be taken seriously? However, your daughter is indeed quite shameless. I really wonder how you educate your children," Gu Yanshan implied overtly, indicating his support for his son.

"Gu Yanshan, since you’ve made your position so clear, I won’t beat around the bush. Don’t you think the demand you’ve made is a bit too greedy?" Zhao Qihua said coldly.

"Zhao Qihua, whether you agree or not is up to you. My request for compensation won’t be reduced further," Gu Yanshan retorted sharply.

"Why is it so lively? My future in-laws are all here!" Ye Chenfeng, holding Zhao Wanting’s hand, entered the Zhao family’s living room. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
