The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1205 - 1204: Bewitched

Scary? Perhaps not in appearance, but inherently so. You are the genuine article, a major power capable of shaking Jiang City to its core with a mere gesture!

"Brother Ye, I apologize. I've never encountered anyone like you before, which is why I seemed a bit out of sorts," Cheng Hao stammered.

Upon hearing Cheng Hao's words, Su Changfeng's lips quirked. It seemed this young man was genuinely intimidated, struggling to articulate himself properly.

Gu Qing'er shot Cheng Hao a displeased look. He usually spoke quite eloquently; what was wrong with him today?

"Cheng Hao, can you be any more incompetent? With that demeanor, how do you expect to achieve anything significant in the future?" Gu Qing'er asked, her face etched with disdain.

Cheng Hao's fists tightened further at her words.

Su Changfeng observed this and, without further comment, added a single sentence: "If that's the case, perhaps another time?"

Another time? Cheng Hao's heart lurched. He recognized that securing an audience with Su Changfeng was no trivial matter. Missing this opportunity might mean never getting another chance in his lifetime.

Taking a deep, silent breath to steady himself, Cheng Hao declared, "Brother Ye, I'm ready now. I sincerely hope you'll grant me another chance."

"Very well, let's pay Weishui Real Estate a visit together then," Su Changfeng stated.

Cheng Hao swiftly moved to the car, opening the door for Su Changfeng.

The group then entered the vehicle and proceeded directly towards Weishui Real Estate.

Currently, Song Yang holds the reins at Weishui Real Estate. Ever since he assumed Cheng Shi's former position, Song Yang has undergone a remarkable transformation. From an obscure figure, he has become a highly sought-after personality in Jiang City, with countless individuals eager to curry his favor and invite him to meals.

However, Song Yang has not let success go to his head. He is acutely aware that everything he now possesses originates from another. Furthermore, he understands that his current standing is precarious. A single misstep or a word from Su Changfeng could instantly strip him of everything he has gained.

Consequently, Song Yang meticulously considers every action, weighing the potential consequences and striving to avoid any errors.

There was a time when Song Yang harbored resentment towards Su Changfeng and frequently caused him trouble. Yet, having now comprehended the vast gulf between their statuses, he no longer feels resentment. Instead, he is filled with gratitude towards Su Changfeng. Without him, Song Yang acknowledges, achieving his current prominence would have been impossible.

While engrossed in his paperwork, a knock sounded at his door. A statuesque secretary entered, announcing, "President Song, someone is here to see you."

"Tell them I'm busy right now and ask them to leave," Song Yang replied, not even looking up from his documents.

"Song Yang, is it truly this difficult to get an audience with you now?" a familiar voice boomed from outside, causing Song Yang's actions to freeze.

He quickly lifted his head and saw Su Changfeng entering, finding himself momentarily disoriented before promptly rising from his seat.

"President Ye, my sincerest apologies. I genuinely didn't realize it was you," Song Yang hastily offered.

Su Changfeng let out a soft chuckle. "There's no need for concern. I merely came to observe President Song. Truly remarkable!"

An unsettling feeling gnawed at Song Yang. What impression had he made? His refusal to meet visitors stemmed solely from a fear of making a blunder due to momentary confusion; thus, he opted to avoid all appointments. He had never anticipated Su Changfeng's personal visit. Had he known sooner, he would have been waiting outside beforehand.

"President Ye, I..."

Before Song Yang could finish, Su Changfeng interjected, "Enough. I understand your intentions. Moreover, I am not displeased. There is no need for you to worry."

Hearing this, Song Yang felt a measure of relief and gestured for the secretary to withdraw. "Please step outside."

Since Su Changfeng had come in person, he undoubtedly had instructions. Such matters were not privy to outsiders.

At this juncture, Cheng Hao experienced a swirl of emotions. What he had initially perceived as his own embarrassing behavior now seemed perfectly normal in retrospect.

Song Yang, a figure of considerable influence in Jiang City, commands the attention of numerous elite circles. Yet, when confronted by Su Changfeng, he displayed the same apprehension and nervousness, rendering him unable to speak coherently.

Reflecting on this, Cheng Hao's earlier mortification began to dissipate.

Cheng Hao found himself somewhat envious of Su Changfeng, who possessed an unparalleled status, capable of rendering a prominent figure like Song Yang speechless with just a few words. How magnificent it would be to attain such a lofty position!

"President Ye, do you have any directives for me?" Song Yang inquired proactively.

In truth, Su Changfeng had not come with any specific task for Song Yang. His visit was primarily for observation. After all, this establishment was part of his business empire. Though he no longer actively managed such affairs, having entrusted them to Song Yang, he did not wish for him to falter. More importantly, this particular venture held a connection to Shen Hanxue, unlike his other enterprises. Even those in Beijing could be overlooked, but not this place.

"Song Yang, you’ve certainly become quite influential. Have you perhaps engaged in any unsavory dealings?" Su Changfeng inquired directly.

Song Yang felt no shame concerning this matter. Despite facing hardships, his current standing made amassing wealth effortless, with countless individuals ready to offer gifts if he so desired.

However, Song Yang declined these offers, not from a lack of interest, but from apprehension. He was acutely aware of the source of his current prosperity and how precarious it truly was.

"President Ye, I assure you, I have been forthright and honest. I have never betrayed you, nor have I taken anything I shouldn't have. Please be at ease!" Song Yang reassured him.

Su Changfeng nodded; he knew Song Yang intimately. In the past, the man would stoop to any level for money, but he was intelligent enough to discern what was acceptable and what to avoid.

Furthermore, with his present stature, acquiring wealth was incredibly simple. If he could maintain his current position, would he truly ever need to fret about finances in the future?

"This is Cheng Hao; you should get acquainted," Su Changfeng stated.

"Greetings, I am Song Yang," Song Yang offered proactively, feeling no inclination to dismiss someone personally brought by Su Changfeng.

Cheng Hao was somewhat taken aback. Considering his family's status, they were hardly in a position to interact with someone like Song Yang, yet here was Song Yang extending a greeting to him.

"Hello, President Song," Cheng Hao replied, offering a slight bow and demonstrating significant respect.

"The future growth of Jiang City will depend on you individuals. However, a word of caution: just as I have the power to grant you everything, I can also reclaim it instantly. Therefore, always contemplate thoroughly before you act," Su Changfeng advised.

"Rest assured, President Ye, I will certainly bear that in mind always!" Song Yang responded immediately.

"In a short while, another person will arrive. To me, he holds far greater importance than you do. But do not be concerned; what belongs to you will remain yours. I will not interfere with it. When he reaches Jiang City, even though he may lack actual authority, you are required to comply unconditionally with any decisions he makes," Su Changfeng explained.
