“Mr. Xu, I… this is all my fault. I was blind and didn’t recognise your greatness. Please spare my family’s company, I beg you!”
With no other choice—his own father was practically ready to disown him—Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth and knelt before Xu Fei.
Zhang Cheng felt that with this kneel, he had thrown away all his dignity.
But he had no alternative. In terms of ability, Zhang Cheng couldn’t compare to anyone; he’d only gotten this far because he was lucky enough to have a capable father.
If this incident led his father to truly sever their father-son relationship, he’d be utterly finished!
“Fine, I agree.”
To everyone’s surprise, Xu Fei agreed so quickly.
“Bai Zhan, you can stop now. After all, it’s our own company now—keeping up the pressure would just be slapping ourselves in the face!”
After hanging up the phone, Xu Fei turned back to Zhang Cheng.
“Apologise to them.”
Zhang Cheng froze for a moment, then quickly shifted the direction of his kowtow, banging his head on the ground several times towards Wang Zhixian and her son without the slightest hesitation.
“Mr. Xu, are you really letting our company off?”
“Don’t believe me? Check your phone yourself!”
Hearing this, Zhang Cheng hurriedly opened his phone and saw that, sure enough, after Xu Fei’s call, the stock market situation was gradually recovering.
“Great, that’s…”
“Hold on, I never said I’d let *you* off. Sparing the company and sparing you are two different things!”
Seeing Xu Fei’s expression, like he was settling scores after the harvest, Zhang Cheng gave a bitter smile.
“Everything before was my fault. As long as Mr. Xu is willing to spare my family’s company, anything’s negotiable!”
“What’s that? I’m actually quite curious—what would happen if I had you fired from your own company?”
“What?”
Xu Fei didn’t bother thinking about the follow-up. In short, he arranged for Bai Zhan to buy out Zhang Cheng’s family company and its shares, then had him sacked.
On top of that, it was stipulated that Zhang Cheng had to drive long-haul transport trucks for a full ten years before the frozen Zhang family assets could be touched again.
This matter finally reached a resolution. Wang Zhixian and Su Baihe, the mother and daughter, were immensely grateful to Xu Fei.
Especially Wang Zhixian, who felt a different kind of sentiment towards the man before her.
She couldn’t help but ask speculatively.
“By the way, I didn’t call you in advance about today’s incident, so how were you already on your way? Could it be… we’ve got some sort of telepathic connection?”
Xu Fei let out a cold laugh at this. He thought Wang Zhixian still hadn’t grasped the gravity of the consequences from the last time she threatened him.
Back then, Xu Fei had let it slide since she was just a woman, giving her a mere warning without making a fuss.
Who’d have thought she’d actually act like it was no big deal?
At the same time, Xu Fei understood in his heart that the only reason Wang Zhixian said this was because she assumed he’d keep playing the fake boyfriend game with her.
Unfortunately, in Xu Fei’s mind, he’d long sentenced this mother and son to death. The only reason he’d come here was because the mystery of Lanhua’s origins had led him to this point.
So, moving forward, Xu Fei didn’t show these two the slightest bit of courtesy.
