The City’s Strongest Son-in-law Chapter 1549 - 1548: The Meeting
Previously on The City’s Strongest Son-in-law...
Only after Wang Wenli left did Wei Chengyu look at Wei Guanglin and say, "Dad, why did you talk to Wang Wenli like that? Are you planning to tell him everything about the Zhou Family?"
Wei Guanglin shook his head helplessly and said, "Then what do you suggest we do about this guy? The Wang Family isn’t someone to easily offend."
Wei Chengyu frowned and said, "So now are we really going to work for the Wang Family?"
Wei Guanglin shook his head and, after a moment of silence, said, "Go find Su Changfeng, at this moment there’s no other way. At least by following Su Changfeng, we can ensure the Wang Family won’t do anything to us."
Both the Zhou Family and the Wang Family are prominent families, but our Wei Family is not, and being caught between them could easily lead to our destruction.
Therefore, the only way to escape this situation now is to find Su Changfeng.
In fact, the initial decision about this was somewhat conflicted, but upon seeing Wang Wenli arrive here, he knew he had no other choice.
Now the only way to break free from this predicament is to find Su Changfeng and become part of his circle; only then can we ensure the survival of our family.
Though the conflict between the two families doesn’t seem intense on the surface, in reality, many smaller families, like ours, suffer significantly as a result.
Wei Chengyu now also understands there’s no other solution to this situation, so he took out his phone and contacted Su Changfeng.
The two agreed to meet in a restaurant that evening.
When Su Changfeng received the call, he was a bit unclear about what the other party meant.
After all, Su Changfeng wasn’t aware that Wang Wenli had targeted the Wei Family because of him.
So that evening, when Su Changfeng saw Wei Guanglin looking nervous, he felt rather bewildered.
Su Changfeng usually doesn’t like beating around the bush; once seated, he straightforwardly asked, "Why did you contact me? Is there a family issue you need help with?"
Wei Chengyu looked at his father and then said to Su Changfeng, "Actually, we’re here to propose a merger between the Wei Group and your company."
Su Changfeng’s expression changed upon hearing this.
What does this mean?
The Wei Family must know that the Zhou Family backs me. A merger with our company means they would lose control over the Wei Group.
Everything would practically become mine, even if not exaggeratedly, losing some assets would be normal.
But why would Wei Guanglin still want to merge with me, knowing this?
This left Su Changfeng baffled.
The Wei Family has worked hard for years for their legacy; are they going to simply abandon it now?
Hence, Su Changfeng looked at Wei Chengyu and Wei Guanglin, saying, "Frankly, your words are quite unexpected. Or rather, I don’t understand why you’re doing this."
Wei Guanglin smiled and said, "Of course, it’s because we know Mo Ke will develop excellently in the future, so following up isn’t necessarily a bad thing for our Wei Family."
Su Changfeng certainly wouldn’t be fooled by such words. Even though the Wei Family is not as prosperous as his company, it’s still doing well.
Wei Guanglin is quite capable on his own, somewhat operating as his own boss. But merging would change everything.
Why would Wei Guanglin suddenly hand over his company?
Su Changfeng said to Wei Guanglin, "Don’t tell me useless things; I want the truth."
Initially, Wei Guanglin thought he could bluff his way through, but now it’s clear that’s impossible without disclosing the real issues.
He had no choice but to reveal what had transpired.
Wei Guanglin said, "Actually, this noon, Wang Wenli came directly to our house and started asking us to disclose everything about you."
Su Changfeng knew of Wang Wenli and the strained relationship between Wang Wenli and Zhou Yunqi.
Wang Wenli’s visit is undoubtedly related to the Martial Arts Competition, as all prominent families are curious why Zhou Wang had Su Changfeng represent their family.
The Wang Family is indeed an old rival of the Zhou Family, so their curiosity about this matter is normal.
Su Changfeng calmly asked, "So what did you say?"
Seeing Su Changfeng’s displeased expression, Wei Guanglin hurriedly said, "Don’t worry; we didn’t disclose anything about you to him."
Su Changfeng acknowledged and said, "If that’s the case, then why are you merging Wei Family’s assets under my company?"
Before Wei Guanglin and his son could answer, Su Changfeng continued, "Is it because you’re worried about being collateral damage if the Zhou Family and Wang Family start fighting, so you want to merge with me?"
By now, Wei Guanglin made no effort to conceal anything and nodded, saying, "Even though it seems unrelated to our Wei Family, Wang Wenli has already found us."
"Meaning we’re caught in the crossfire. If things escalate between them, the ones in trouble will inevitably be our Wei Family."
Su Changfeng understood Wei Guanglin’s perspective; after all, the Zhou Family is indeed not a rival the Wei Family can contend with.
Su Changfeng asked Wei Guanglin, "But aren’t you worried that I’ll swallow all your assets? Then the Wei Family would mean nothing to me."
Wei Guanglin had certainly pondered this, but he truly found himself out of options.
Moreover, Wei Guanglin somehow believed that Su Changfeng wouldn’t need to do such a thing.
Wei Guanglin said, "While this may sound odd, I feel you’re unlikely to act that way; in your eyes, these assets might mean nothing."
Nothing at all.
In fact, Wei Guanglin was quite right.
From the beginning, all actions Su Changfeng undertook weren’t driven by a desire for fame or profit, only to make the Ye Family see the errors of their ways!
