Shangguan Feihong asserts her dominance within the Ye family, leaving Ji Hong with no choice but to endure her tyranny. Meanwhile, Su Changfeng grapples with the lingering threat of the Silver Flood Dragon, unsure if his temporal manipulations have erased its memory. He receives the keys to a secluded house from Wu Feng and learns of an upcoming business conference. Despite Wu Feng's inability to secure an invitation, Su Changfeng reveals he has been invited by the Wei Family, stunning Wu Feng with his rapid integration into the city's upper circles.

Wu Feng took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart. Seeing Su Changfeng looking calm and composed, as if this matter wasn’t a big deal at all, he was very curious about how Su Changfeng managed it.

He wanted to ask, but since Su Changfeng was his boss, he didn’t have the position to ask questions.

"And from now on, don’t call me young master, just call me boss." Su Changfeng added another sentence as if he thought of something.

In his opinion, the identity of the Ye Family’s young master was utterly ridiculous. Who didn’t know he was the renowned waste of the Ye Family? Since Su Changfeng wanted to change people’s perception of him, he certainly couldn’t carry such a reputation.

"Understood, boss." Wu Feng nodded seriously with a face full of earnestness.

Su Changfeng stood up: "Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’m heading back. Prepare well in the coming days, strive to gather more resources at the business fair. The opportunity is given to you, the rest is entirely up to you."

"I understand, boss. I definitely won’t let you down." Wu Feng said. Previously, he tried every means but couldn’t seize this opportunity. Now that it was right in front of him, he would surely grasp it tightly.

With Wu Feng handling it, Su Changfeng naturally had no doubts. In the previous life, without Wu Feng, Mo Ke Company probably wouldn’t have developed so well.

After leaving the company, Su Changfeng received a phone call. Seeing the caller ID, he raised an eyebrow, not expecting Wei Chengyu to proactively contact him.

It’s worth noting, the last time they met, Wei Chengyu had a superior attitude and didn’t see any necessity for contact between them.

"What’s the matter? Hurry up and say it," Su Changfeng urged impatiently upon hearing Wei Chengyu’s hesitant tone.

Wei Chengyu hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke with determination: "Su Changfeng, I’m contacting you this time to sincerely thank you. I owe it all to you for what happened before. From now on, you are my brother, whether you accept it or not, I consider you a brother."

Upon hearing this, Su Changfeng felt somewhat amused at heart. He didn’t expect this arrogant fellow to one day humble himself before him. It seems the previous incident had indeed impacted him greatly.

However, Su Changfeng wasn’t so naive as to believe the brotherhood Wei Chengyu spoke of was purely innocent.

Even though he rescued Wei Chengyu, this alone wasn’t enough for him to bow down to Su Changfeng.

The main reason Wei Chengyu was willing to humble himself was likely because he realized Su Changfeng’s strength could offer him greater help.

"So, are you planning to find an assistant for yourself, in case you encounter trouble in the future, expecting me to step in? The term brother is just about checking for useful value, right?" Su Changfeng candidly spoke, naturally not giving face to Wei Chengyu. To such rich kids, taking a step back might lead them to overstep.

"You misunderstood, I didn’t think that way. I truly wish to thank you sincerely and genuinely want to be your brother." Wei Chengyu replied.

Now, looking purely from an interest standpoint, befriending Wei Chengyu is certainly not negative for Su Changfeng. Not only does he gain a helper, but he also deepens his ties with the Wei Family. Furthermore, Su Changfeng doesn’t worry about Wei Chengyu playing tricks, because in the face of absolute strength, those unspeakable little schemes are utterly useless.

"This matter can wait until after you are discharged." Su Changfeng said.

"Alright, I’ll treat you to drinks then." Wei Chengyu said enthusiastically, detecting a softening in Su Changfeng’s words.

Setting aside the phone, Wei Chengyu brightened up on the hospital bed. The call wasn’t suggested by anyone else; it was a decision he made after much thought. He realized befriending Su Changfeng was undoubtedly beneficial and harmless.

Even if Su Changfeng was seen as a waste by all and abandoned by the Ye Family, Wei Chengyu knew clearly that with Su Changfeng’s skills and power, he would eventually become the brightest star in Capital City. He also believed Su Changfeng could create an extraordinary influence in Capital City, perhaps even surpassing the Ye Family.

From a long-term perspective, Wei Chengyu taking the initiative to befriend Su Changfeng was an extremely wise choice.

"Are you okay? Just got admitted to the hospital and you’re so happy?" At this moment, Wei Guanglin entered and saw Wei Chengyu lying there humming a tune, seemingly in a good mood. He couldn’t help but ask.

"Dad, you don’t know, I just accomplished something big." Wei Chengyu replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wei Guanglin instinctively furrowed his brows, mainly because Wei Chengyu had never done anything decent from childhood, so he instinctively thought Wei Chengyu had caused trouble again with the so-called big thing.

"What exactly did you do? You’ve ended up like this, can’t you behave a little? Isn’t this lesson enough?" Wei Guanglin scolded angrily.

"Dad, what are you thinking? Am I completely useless in your eyes?" Wei Chengyu countered.

In fact, from Wei Guanglin’s perspective, for so many years, Wei Chengyu indeed hadn’t accomplished anything good, instead causing a pile of troubles. He really didn’t know how to trust him.

"From childhood, you just kept causing trouble for me. You say yourself, have you ever done anything good? I’ve cleaned up messes after you for decades. What kind are you? Don’t I know?" Wei Guanglin said coldly.

"Dad, just now, I reached out to Su Changfeng." Wei Chengyu knew Wei Guanglin wouldn’t easily believe him, so he didn’t keep him guessing and directly told him about what had just happened.

Wei Guanglin frowned. Out of the blue, why would he contact Su Changfeng? Could it be that he lost his temper and called to scold Su Changfeng?

That rascal! Does he want to infuriate me to death? Can’t he see the current situation, and considering Su Changfeng helped him before, he even dares to offend him now? Is he tired of living?

"Dad, don’t overthink. I didn’t offend him. I just clarified to him that I wish to be friends." Before Wei Guanglin could ask, Wei Chengyu quickly added.

Upon hearing this, Wei Guanglin was stunned. He contacted Su Changfeng simply because of this?

"According to him, he agreed." Wei Chengyu said proudly.

Winning over Su Changfeng is naturally a good thing for the Wei Family, but Wei Guanglin didn’t quite understand what was happening with Wei Chengyu. This completely wasn’t his usual style?
