Chapter 342: Going to Reason
"Looking at him, he doesn't look like he was hit..."
Ding Yixiu knew his son's character very well.
Even if he fell into the abyss and lost everything, Ding Can could slowly get up.
What's more, he didn't kill many of Ding Can's subordinates last night. He originally planned to get rid of one third of them, but then that mysterious man interfered and disrupted all his plans.
"Sir, we have checked carefully and it is indeed Ding Xiaowen's fault, not the rest of the Ding family." The subordinate reported.
"Oh, that girl is pretty good." Ding Yixiu took a sip of tea. "When she was little, I held her in my arms. She was a smart little girl. I didn't expect that she would be getting married. Time flies."
"Sir, how about..."
"No need for that. The little girl has made her own choice. Why should we interfere?"
Ding Yixiu shook his head, looked at Ding Can in his field of vision, and said, "That little bastard is still young, let him hang around for a few years, maybe he can find something he likes."
"yes."
This subordinate just had the idea of bringing Ding Xiaowen and Ding Can together.
A marriage between two families is best.
After a few years, he would find an excuse to make the head of the intelligence department retire and promote Ding Xiaowen's father Ding Hai. With the relationship between the two families, the department would be stable.
"Is the man's family really in the slums?" Ding Yixiu suddenly asked.
"Yes, sir," the subordinate replied.
"No wonder Ding Hai's family is making such a big fuss. The old guys in his family will definitely not agree."
"Sir, the young master has already found so many backers for Chu Feng, the old man from the Ding Hai family should give in, right?"
"No, how stubborn are those old guys?"
Ding Yixiu rubbed his dry eyes and continued, "They only care about the benefits that are visible in front of them. They are conservative and short-sighted."
The subordinate agreed: "Your Excellency is right."
Ding Yixiu twisted the camera and said calmly: "When I select personnel for various departments, I will give priority to young and energetic people. Otherwise, Haima City would not have developed so fast in the past ten years."
"Yes, my lord, you have a keen eye. The other cities in the southwest are lifeless, with serious corruption and rampant corruption. Only our city has been praised by the mechanical tribe."
"Mechanical people? Praise? Heh..."
Ding Yixiu snorted softly, not knowing what he was thinking.
While the two were talking, another person came to the Ding family.
That person was also the president of a large chamber of commerce, and also claimed to be a friend of Chu Feng’s father.
Ding Hai already had some guesses in his mind, and after exchanging a few words, he invited the man to the second floor.
"The third one."
Ding Yixiu saw this scene through the telescope.
He could move his eyes and see that Ding Can was still full of confidence and looked relaxed.
"Does this little bastard really think he can do it?"
Ding Can had done many things in Haima City, but this was the first time he helped people find marriages.
When he called those people, some of them did not dare to refuse due to his status, while others just wanted to establish a good relationship with him unilaterally.
After all, unless anything unexpected happens, he will definitely be the master of this city in the future.
At this time, on the second floor of Ding Hai's house.
Compared to before, the atmosphere has become much more relaxed.
As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Li Yuantu was a smooth and versatile person. He could speak differently to different people and soon started chatting enthusiastically with other relatives of the Ding family.
Many relatives of the Ding family already knew him. Some had business dealings with him, and some had even had meals with him before, so they were not strangers.
"Haha, I am also Chu Feng's uncle." Li Yuantu said with a smile, "The little guy's parents passed away early, and now as his uncle I have to show some appreciation, so I might as well pay for the wedding!"
"That's not possible. How can I ask you to give it to me?"
On the side, the boss surnamed Sun smiled and shook his head: "I have to pay this money, you are not allowed to snatch it from me!"
Hearing this, the third person who just arrived also said: "Hey, I am also Chu Feng's uncle, don't you two take me seriously?"
The three of them sang in unison and took advantage of the good atmosphere to talk directly about the wedding.
The members of the Ding family were a little embarrassed, after all, they had not agreed yet.
Looking at the situation of these three people, do you think the marriage is a done deal?
"cough……"
Ding Xiaowen's uncle coughed lightly. He knew all three of them and was familiar with their personalities. Of course, he knew what they were up to.
My uncle picked up the teacup and winked at Li Yuantu with a questioning look in his eyes.
But Li Yuantu just smiled, and his smile looked very honest.
"President Li, Xiaowen and Chufeng's relationship has not been finalized yet." Uncle said bluntly, "Let's talk about the wedding later. Let's have some tea first."
"Oh, this matter cannot be delayed."
Li Yuantu worked very hard. Since he had agreed to Ding Can's request, he had to get it done.
He held his round belly, like a gentle Maitreya Buddha, and smiled: "Time flies, and several months have passed in a flash. If you don't mention it now, when will you mention it again?"
"There's no rush as the outcome isn't even decided yet," said my uncle.
"Why, are you, the Ding family, disgusted by my nephew's poverty?"
Li Yuantu chuckled while holding the teacup, looked around, and said this deliberately.
He could see that the faces of the older people in the Ding family, especially Ding Hai's father Ding Huang, had become even darker than the bottom of a pot.
These old guys are difficult to deal with.
Li Yuantu knew that this was someone else's family affair and he was an outsider, so he could only try to steer the topic back to business.
My uncle smiled and said, "Not really. It's just that Xiaowen is too young and easily gets emotional, so we want her to take it slow. Old Li, you know that young people are impulsive."
"What's wrong with being young?" Li Yuantu retorted, "Who among us didn't go out to explore the world when we were in our teens? I was only thirteen when I first became a crew member!"
My uncle immediately waved his hand: "That's not the case. Times are different now..."
"Yes, times are different now!"
Li Yuantu immediately took over the topic and said, "You can't look at the affairs of young people from the perspective of your time, right?"
"this……"
My uncle's tone paused and he couldn't help but get angry. He didn't expect that Li Yuantu would set a trap for him after just two or three sentences.
When chatting with such a person, you will always be distracted by him without realizing it, and suffer losses for no apparent reason.
At this moment, the housekeeper came running over and said to everyone, "Another guest has arrived."
Ding Xiaowen's father Ding Hai nodded: "Okay, I'll go and greet him."
After he and the butler left, the atmosphere in the reception room on the second floor seemed a little depressing.
No one in the Ding family said anything. You looked at me, I looked at you, and everyone's expression was a little complicated.
At first, they thought Chu Feng was just a poor boy and was not worthy of their family.
But within just over ten minutes, three or four of Chu Feng's uncles came one after another, and each of them had a prominent background.
If we only talk about wealth, these people combined are enough to surpass their family.
but……
The smarter members of the Ding family all smelled something wrong.
Why didn't these people appear before?
The first person to ask the question was Ding Huang, Ding Xiaowen's grandfather, the most stubborn old man.
Ding Huang had a stern face, with so many wrinkles on it that it looked like they could pinch a fly to death. He was not in a good mood towards Li Yuantu and asked, "President Li, since Chu Feng is the son of your old friend, why didn't you express anything before?"
Li Yuantu explained with a smile: "Grandpa, didn't I tell you that I only found out about Xiao Chu recently."
"Why? Did all of you find out recently?"
Ding Huang was very rude. He looked at the few people with a cold tone, as if he was interrogating a prisoner.
Boss Sun next to him calmly replied: "Old man, Haima City recently launched a refugee survey. You stayed at home all day and the news was delayed. I guess you didn't know about it."
"Are you saying I'm old and behind the times?"
"That's not what I meant. You think too much, old man." Boss Sun replied sternly, "Old people should relax more. It's not good to think too much."
"Well, let me ask you, you said you treat Chu Feng as your nephew, how much of your property can you give to him?"
"Old man, it's vulgar to talk about money."
"If not money, what else can we talk about?"
Ding Huang maintained a tough attitude and showed no sign of giving in.
Behind him, the other old men also had stern faces.
If we can't get past these old guys, no matter how many people come today, it will be useless.
Li Yuantu and Boss Sun are just here to support Chu Feng. If Chu Feng is capable in the future, they don't mind giving him a good job, but they can't give him their property directly.
Li Yuantu took over the topic and said with a smile: "Old man, marriage is not something that can be measured simply by money."
Ding Huang looked at him coldly: "No money? What else can we use to measure it?"
"Sincere feelings are more valuable than money." Li Yuantu still smiled.
"fart!"
“…”
Li Yuantu unconsciously used a little more force with his fat hands holding the teacup and almost crushed the cup.
Normal people can communicate and reason.
But, this stubborn old fellow...
If he were outside, Li Yuantu would go directly to the Zero Point Tavern and pay a tavern killer to kill the old guy.
Unfortunately, today he was entrusted by someone and could not use such extreme methods. He could only endure it slowly.
At this time, the fourth person also followed Ding Hai up. He was the president of a small local bank.
"Please take a seat."
The butler brought him a chair, made some tea, and politely asked him to sit down.
Next, there was another round of communication.
The four of them took turns talking to the Ding family's relatives, discussing many things, and even expressed that they would slowly train Chu Feng to become the core management of their respective companies in the future.
In fact, many relatives have already given in.
For example, Ding Xiaowen's uncle has always felt guilty about the factory internship and felt that he had ruined Ding Xiaowen's life.
Now, with his intelligence, he could naturally see that these four people were specially invited to act as lobbyists.
This means that Chu Feng has a good backer.
In Seahorse City, there are not many people who can invite these four people at the same time.
Several names flashed through my uncle's mind. No matter which one it was, as long as they could make friends with them, it would be beneficial to their Ding family.
Unfortunately, a few elderly people refused to give in.
"No, I don't agree!"
Ding Huang firmly opposed it. He believed that what he had already decided could not be changed no matter whether it was right or wrong!
In his opinion, any young man in this wealthy area would be ten or a hundred times better than Chu Feng.
Even if I can't marry my granddaughter to Ding Can, she must marry him to someone with an equal family background.
Of course, Ding Can is still the best choice in his heart.
Seeing how determined he was, Ding Hai and Ding Qin were both in a dilemma.
"Dad, who Xiaowen likes is her own business. This is not our era anymore."
"Are you calling me stubborn?"
"No, no, Dad, calm down..."
"What are you trying to calm down?" Ding Huang glared. "You guys have to agree, right? Fine, I'll be the only one left in this house, but not him. If that guy dares to come, I'll leave right away!"
“…”
After hearing this classic line of speech, Ding Hai and Ding Qin looked at each other, both of them with helplessness in their eyes.
The family hasn't even arrived yet and the house is already in such a mess.
If they really came, wouldn't it cause chaos? Once the chaos started, the whole Coral City would be a laughing stock.
At this time, in the distance, Ding Can, who was eavesdropping, looked unhappy.
He patted the fence hard and said, "Damn it, there are already four of us, why is that old guy still not satisfied?"
"Boss, we do have enough people, but Chu Feng has no direct blood relationship with President Li and the others after all." The person next to him explained, "Without a blood relationship, Chu Feng is still an orphan with no one to rely on, and cannot get direct property from those people."
"Well, let's take a closer look..."
Ding Can glanced at the time. It was only eleven o'clock, so it was still early.
Chu Feng and Su Xia have not yet arrived in the city. Even if they arrive, they will have to walk around the city and buy more things to bring home.
Just a bottle of wine and a few books seems a bit too thin, so I have to buy some ordinary things to make up for it.
In the next few minutes, several more people came to the Ding family one after another. They were all well-known figures in Haima City.
Their visit brought more pressure to Ding’s relatives.
But no matter what, those old men refused to give in.
In the end, Ding Can was a little annoyed and said, "Damn it, you old fool ! Come on, brothers, I'm going to argue with him myself!"
Seeing this, his good friend beside him hurriedly stopped him and said, "Boss, today we are here to propose marriage, not to fight."
"It's okay, bring a few more people, it will be easier to reason with more people!"
Ding Can walked to the kitchen, turned on the faucet, took a handful of cold water and washed his face to clear his mind.
Since I have promised Su Xia today, I must get it done.
Su Xia will definitely be disappointed in him if he can't even accomplish such a simple thing.
In this way, he took more than a dozen capable men and went to Ding Hai's house in a menacing manner. In a few minutes, he arrived at his villa.
“Ding Dong——”
Ding Can pressed the doorbell, but felt it was not enough, so he knocked hard on the door of the villa.
The housekeeper hurried over. As soon as he saw Ding Can, his eyelids twitched and he hurriedly opened the door for him: "Mr. Ding, please come in."
He felt a little uneasy. What was this devil doing in their house?
"Mr. Ding, please wait a moment. I will go and call my master." The butler said in a low voice.
“No need!”
Ding Can stretched out his hand to stop him, and said imposingly: "I am here to reason today. I know he is on the second floor. Brothers, come up with me to have tea!"
"good!"
The dozen or so people behind him responded in unison, their voices neatly and powerfully echoing back and forth in the hall on the first floor.
The people on the second floor were too slow to react and were startled by the sound.
"What happened?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Before they could go downstairs to check, Ding Can came upstairs with more than a dozen brothers.
More than ten people directly blocked the stairs. The housekeeper was complaining in pain and had no choice but to follow them.
“Ding Can…”
"Mr. Ding?"
Seeing this young man, everyone who was sitting stood up, even the stubborn old people stood up.
This man is the second king of Seahorse City, and no one here dares to mess with him.
Li Yuantu, Boss Sun and others looked at each other and smiled bitterly, knowing that the matter had not been handled well, so they asked Ding Can to do it himself.
"Mr. Ding, please sit here." As the head of the family, Ding Hai personally entertained the guest and made tea for Ding Can.
At this time, the old men looked at each other and thought this was a good opportunity.
At this critical moment, Ding Can actually came to their house.
We must keep Ding Can.
As long as we keep him, when that poor boy Chu Feng comes to propose marriage, he will deeply feel the gap between people.
At that time, they will try their best to persuade Ding Xiaowen with all their heart, appeal to his emotions and explain things to him rationally, and maybe they will be able to get Ding Xiaowen to leave Chu Feng.
Ding Huang suddenly smiled and said to Ding Can, "You've grown so big now? I held you in my arms when you were a child. So many years have passed... You've grown up just like my Xiaowen."
"Well, Ding Xiaowen, right? I know her." Ding Can answered indifferently.
Hearing this, the other old men were delighted.
There are many young girls in Haima City, but few of them can be remembered by Ding Can.
However, what Ding Can said next directly extinguished the joy in their hearts: "I also know about Ding Xiaowen and Chu Feng."
"this……"
Ding Huang was stunned, not understanding what he meant.
He said tentatively: "That Chu Feng is a low-class person who fled here, he is good at sweet talk and smooth talking ..."
"Shut up!"
Ding Can suddenly slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Who in Haima City didn't flee? Have you forgotten it after a few days of good life? What do you mean by calling people inferior?"
He suddenly stood up and glared at everyone. He was clearly a young man under twenty years old, but his aura was frighteningly strong.
Ding Huang was considered a man who had seen the world, but he was still so frightened that he took a step back.
He just felt his mouth dry, and tried his best to defend himself: "I... I mean..."
"Shut up, you old sconce!"
Ding Can was furious and merciless: "They are a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match, how can you, a monster, object to it?"
