Bowing His Head

The Feng family.

As Gu Jinlai accepted Feng Yushu's invitation to become a retainer of the Feng family in his capacity as King Wu, it caused considerable chaos and shock to the entire Feng family's upper echelons.

Feng Yushu was originally just an ordinary collateral descendant of the Feng family.

They were from collateral branches and didn't even qualify as bargaining chips for marriage alliances.

Not to mention her, even her father, Feng Leixiao, didn't have much influence in the Feng family. He managed a few shops, that was all.

Several years ago, Feng Leixiao planned to send her to the Shangguan Lineage mansion to become a maid for one of the young ladies, but the result was...

She didn't get the good job that offered even a slight chance of climbing into the Shangguan family.

Later, Feng Leixiao even planned to follow the advice of a close confidant and give Feng Yushu to the commander of a thousand-man squad of the city guard, one of the three major institutions of the garrison, as a concubine.

It was also at this time that Feng Yushu revealed his business acumen, making a fortune through activities such as lucky draws, membership card promotions, and grand opening discounts.

Then, using the shops she had previously managed as the center, she rented surrounding shops and at the same time won over several uncles and elders of the Feng family with some status and position, and together they created the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce and built the Huanglong Shopping Mall.

The establishment of Huanglong Shopping Mall directly enabled Feng Yushu to take off, turning it into a money-making machine that brought the Feng family a fortune every day.

Feng Yushu's social status also rose accordingly.

Currently, her status has reached a level comparable to that of the direct descendants of the Feng family, and she is even considered a relatively outstanding direct descendant.

He also recruited several military generals and True Person Spirit Refining to his side.

The interests of Huanglong Shopping Mall soon led to Feng Leiming's downfall.

Faced with this third-ranking figure in the Feng family, second only to the family head Feng Leizheng, the uncles and elders of the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce who had been won over by Feng Yushu all bowed their heads. The Chamber of Commerce and the shopping mall fell into Feng Leiming's hands in just one or two months.

If Feng Leiming hadn't not yet fully grasped the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce's operating model, Feng Yushu probably wouldn't have been able to continue as vice president.

Just when it seemed that the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce and the Huanglong Shopping Mall, which were making a fortune every day, were about to become the main branch's possession, a Martial King suddenly appeared...

Feng Leiming and Feng Leizheng, along with the old patriarch of the Feng family, the Primordial Spirit True Lord Feng Shuanglie, the old patriarch, and Feng Chiyu, who was at the Martial Sect realm, gathered together and discussed the matter intensively.

These four people...

Including Feng Chilei, who is currently in seclusion preparing to reach the Martial King realm, he is the true decision-maker of the Feng family.

"I never thought that Feng Yushu would be able to seduce men at such a young age, and even hook up with a Martial King. I wonder how much she paid to gain his support."

At this moment, Feng Leiming was making sarcastic remarks.

Feng Chiyu glanced at him and said with dissatisfaction, "Now is not the time to talk about these things. This Ancient Martial King saved the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce's caravan when he came. He has done a favor for the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce and the Feng family. Even if Feng Yushu gives away the entire Huanglong Chamber of Commerce as a token of gratitude, we cannot say a word against it."

At this point, his eyes showed apprehension. "Martial King... this stage is the most dangerous stage on the path of martial arts... if we are in the wrong first and anger this Martial King, even if we are beaten to death, no one will stand up for us."

"We have Lord Shangguan behind us. He's really dared to act recklessly Gu Jinlai. We'll beat him into an out-of-control warrior, and then he won't be able to escape death."

Feng Leiming said angrily.

"I don't know if he can escape death, but he has angered a Martial King, so the destruction of the Feng family is inevitable."

Feng Shuanglie said calmly, "Alright, the most important thing now is to talk to that Martial King and find out what he really wants. I believe that what that girl Feng Yushu can give him, our Feng family can also give him. Beautiful women, money? He can have as much as he wants."

"I have tried to see that ancient martial arts king several times in the past two days, but he has been avoiding us."

Feng Lei said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid this Ancient Martial King is determined to support that girl Feng Yushu and separate the huge profits of the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce from our Feng family."

"Then give it to him."

Feng Shuanglie said heavily, "If he wants the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce, then give it to him."

Feng Leizheng and Feng Leiming couldn't help but widen their eyes.

That's the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce, which makes a fortune every day!

The Huanglong Chamber of Commerce's monthly revenue is equivalent to 30% of the entire Feng family's revenue!

What an enormous fortune that is!

"Our Feng family has gradually reached a bottleneck in its development. Although we have managed to attach ourselves to Lord Shangguan, we need to have enough strength ourselves if we want Lord Shangguan to take us seriously. The addition of this Ancient Martial King is a good opportunity. There are two different concepts Lineage that has a Martial King's patronage and Lineage that does not."

Feng Shuanglie said, "Trading a Yellow Dragon Chamber of Commerce for a Martial King is a worthwhile deal."

"This..."

The wind and thunder were deafening, and the sound of wind and thunder was almost unbelievable.

Is it possible to just hand over what's equivalent to 30% of the Feng family's profits?

You have to understand how small the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce is, and how large the Feng family's entire business empire is!

This is equivalent to a small workshop with a few people generating 30% of the revenue of a large factory with tens of thousands of employees; the two cannot be compared at all.

"Short-sighted! In any case, Feng Yushu is a member of our Feng family, and that will not change."

Feng Shuanglie glared sternly at Feng Leiming: "What we want is to expand this pie, not to haggle over every little bit of profit. I know why you're stirring up trouble, even going so far as to kill your own family! If you don't want the situation to spiral out of control, go find Feng Yushu and beg for her forgiveness before the welcoming ceremony begins."

"Grandpa..."

"What, you have a problem with what I said?"

Feng Shuanglie's expression turned cold.

The wind and thunder trembled.

He knew that when the old man showed that look on his face, it meant he was truly angry. Under such circumstances, if he dared to remain stubborn...

He will definitely not have a good ending.

Immediately, he lowered his head and said, "I understand. I'll go apologize to Xiao Shu right away."

"Don't do anything foolish. Otherwise, for the sake of a Martial King, an opportunity to revitalize our Feng family and elevate it to a higher level, I wouldn't mind personally sending some ignorant fools to their deaths."

Feng Shuanglie issued another warning.

Immediately, not only Feng Leiming, but even Feng Leizheng hurriedly chimed in, "Grandpa, please rest assured, we will always prioritize the interests of the Lineage."

Feng Chi didn't say anything.

He naturally hoped that the Feng family would get better and better.

Besides, it wasn't him who was apologizing, and he didn't want to completely offend a King Wu over this.

"Tomorrow, let's make this banquet a success to welcome the Ancient Martial King to our Feng family."

Feng Shuanglie gave a solemn instruction, setting the tone for the matter.

The next day.

Under Zhao Yang's guidance, Gu Jinlai arrived at the Feng family.

Although the Feng family is not a top-tier power in Fengyu City, it is still a first-class Lineage, owning a courtyard of tens of thousands of square meters in the most prosperous area of the city.

At this time, the entire Lineage was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

Countless Lineage members from all walks of life, both inside and outside the city, were summoned and gathered in the compound.

When Gu Jinlai and Zhao Yang entered the Feng family, the family head Feng Leizheng, the pillar of the family Feng Shuanglie, and other high-ranking members came to greet them personally.

This scene inevitably drew attention to Zhao Yushu, who had also Gu Jinlai to "greet" them.

What happened to the plan to make an example of someone?

Zhao Yushu was also somewhat helpless.

Last night, Feng Leiming personally led a group to apologize, and even slapped one of her sons, who had killed her maid, to death in front of her. He was also willing to give up his position as president of the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce and make compensation. She was unable to continue her tantrum.

After all, she didn't want to cause Gu Jinlai any real trouble.

"The fact that the Ancient Martial King is willing to become a revered member of our Feng family is a great honor to the entire family..."

Feng Shuanglie stepped forward and greeted him with a big smile.

"To clarify, I joined the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce and became a member of the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce, not the Feng family."

Gu Jinlai, people have always spoken frankly and without reservation.

"Yes, yes, yes. However, if the Ancient Martial King has any needs, our Feng family will do our best to meet them."

Feng Shuanglie spoke with a smile, showing no dissatisfaction whatsoever with the words Gu Jinlai.

From Gu Jinlai a look at this pillar of the Feng family...

Even in Wind and Rain City, a Yuan True Lord Primordial Spirit True Lord) is not considered weak.

After all, Wind and Rain City governs 110 million people, which is equivalent to the population of two provinces in the Middle Kingdom of Blue Star.

In cities equivalent to two provinces, there were only a few hundred Celestial Person, Martial Kings, Saints, and Martial Saints who held higher positions than him.

If we were to compare his position to others, he would be equivalent to an official at the department level.

Considering that he would inevitably need enough Thunder Magnetic Yuan Gold in the future, he said, "Your Feng family's current business channels are not enough. Although you have business dealings with the surrounding Liu Huo City, the scale is not large. If it weren't for my friendship with Feng Yushu, I wouldn't have truly joined the Feng family. If you want my full assistance, you must at least demonstrate sufficient capabilities. Let's talk about it when you can open up business dealings with Zi Lei City."

Feng Shuanglie was taken aback at first, then immediately said solemnly, "We know that the Feng family is indeed High Antiquity martial king. However, I believe that with the current model of the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce, as long as it is promoted, it will soon be able to make a name for itself. Our Feng family will also fully support the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce so that they can expand their business to Zilei City."

"Then I'll wait and see."

This Gu Jinlai.

"Come, come, Ancient Martial King, let's go to the inner hall and take the seats of honor. Let me introduce you to some of the younger generation of our Feng family. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask..."

As Feng Shuanglie spoke, he turned to Zhao Yushu and said, "Yushu, come with me too. With your achievements in establishing the Huanglong Chamber of Commerce, you are more than qualified to have a seat in the inner hall."

Zhao Yushu glanced at Gu Jinlai.

Seeing that he didn't seem dissatisfied, she followed him into the inner hall.

Inner hall.

It represents the symbol of the Feng family's power.

From the moment Feng Shuanglie allowed her to enter the inner hall, she had essentially stepped into the core of the Feng family.
