Chapter 1188 1188: Like Sailing Against the Current, If You Don't Advance, You Retreat!
"Of course!"Qin Feng's expression became serious and solemn as he looked out at the sky, "The Round Table Conference determines your standing in the entire world. Only by being recognized by it can you truly be considered to have reached the peak!"
"But I always feel…"
Xiao Lian gave a wry smile, "It feels too dreamlike, like we're still lacking a lot. I've inquired about the Dragon King Hall, Heavenly King Mountain, and several other renowned forces in the world. Compared to them, we're still lacking a lot, whether in the Hidden World or the Mortal World's Fengyun Group. Especially Fengyun Group, even though more and more are joining us, they do so unwillingly, out of desperation, not out of great loyalty to Fengyun Group. It's like a wall without cement, ready to collapse at any push."
"As of now, that is indeed the case."
Qin Feng confessed openly.
Fengyun Group, along with the Dragon King Hall, though developing rapidly, is indeed too unstable.
If he shows any weakness,
this newly built empire will crumble instantly.
"But!"
Qin Feng continued, "Have you heard of the saying 'point at a deer and call it a horse'?"
"Well…"
Xiao Lian didn't understand what this idiom meant in the current discussion.
"As long as we're strong enough!" Qin Feng's eyes were sharp, "That wall can be imagined, but without my permission, it dares not!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lian shuddered internally.
Yes!
As long as he's strong enough, no one dares to say no.
Even if the new members aren't loyal, fearing the strong is human nature!
Be strong enough!
Strong enough that they view you as a god!
Then their loyalty doesn't matter anymore!
"Boss, I understand. I will do my utmost to give our Fengyun Group a helping hand!" Xiao Lian said solemnly.
"Yes, with our current power, participating in the Round Table Conference is indeed unlikely. But with the current situation, it's very advantageous for us." Qin Feng said.
The current situation is chaotic.
More and more companies and groups are joining Fengyun Group.
With more effort, getting more members on board, Fengyun Group's influence in the Mortal World could reach the standard to attend the conference.
What remains is the Hidden World power!
"I'll go get busy then."
Xiao Lian said.
After he left, Qin Feng looked out the window and sighed deeply, muttering, "Did I move too fast…"
From the moment he decided to become the heir of Heavenly King Mountain, he planned to spend five or six years developing, aiming for the Round Table Conference five years later.
What he didn't expect was how quickly the world changed.
So fast that before he could sit and think, the opportunity appeared before his eyes.
The chaos in the Hidden World swept across the Mortal World like a storm, leaving it scattered and shattered.
Seizing this opportunity to integrate various resources from the Mortal World is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Whoever can grasp it, the opportunity is theirs!
In chaotic times, it's always like this.
It's either you are devoured or you devour others.
Qin Feng is naturally the latter.
"Sailing against the current, moving forward or falling back, in this situation, if I don't consume them, they'll consume me!"
Qin Feng squinted his eyes.
Even if developing too fast, without time or energy to establish a foundation, there's no turning back!
Even if ahead lies a mountain of blades and a sea of fire, he'll brave the waves and sail on relentlessly!
After sighing,
Qin Feng sat back at his desk, intending to continue working.
Suddenly he remembered something, slapped his thigh: "Oh no!!"
He got up and hurried towards the suite.
Engrossed in the conversation with Xiao Lian, he completely forgot about his wife in the suite!
What's more terrifying, Qingyi and Ziyi were inside too!
Thinking of this,
Qin Feng couldn't help but break into a cold sweat!
He's not afraid of a mountain of blades and a sea of fire, just being misunderstood by his wife!
The crux of the issue is, it's not even a misunderstanding; it actually happened…
Qin Feng reached the door, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead repeatedly, ready for a descent into hell, and then cautiously knocked on the door: "Honey, honey?"
The door opened.
It was Xu Yunxiao who opened it.
Xu Yunxiao saw Qin Feng's forehead covered in sweat, and said, "Qin Feng, what's going on?"
"Honey, I, I…"
Qin Feng's heart pounded wildly, his legs trembling, completely at a loss for how to explain.
Unexpectedly,
Xu Yunxiao took out tissues and wiped Qin Feng's sweat, saying with concern, "Were those few very tough? You look exhausted."
"Ah?"
Qin Feng felt bewildered.
The scenario he imagined was Xu Yunxiao directly slapping him, then crying out in anger, 'I hate you,' and storming off, never to be seen again…
Why was it so different from what he imagined?
Was he dreaming?
"I heard about it, sigh, there are more and more bad people these days. You really had a hard time."
Xu Yunxiao sighed.
"..."
Qin Feng blinked in confusion, "You… heard about what?"
"Of course, about Miss Qingyi and Miss Ziyi!" Xu Yunxiao said, "Just now in the room, Miss Ziyi told me they were bullied by bad people and ran here to hide. When the bad people came for them, you had the ladies hide in the room while you dealt with the bad people."
"Uh…"
Qin Feng's mind went blank.
Is this even possible?
He glanced inside.
Seeing Ziyi signalling him with her eyes, he realized that Ziyi had fabricated this lie.
"Ah, haha, right, that's how it was. Those guys were really bad, put in a lot of effort to drive them away, and now we can finally have some peace." Qin Feng awkwardly laughed, "By the way, honey, it's noon; let's go have lunch!"
"Mm, okay."
Xu Yunxiao nodded, then turned to Ziyi and Qingyi, "Why don't we all go together for lunch?"
"No need!"
Qin Feng, fearing something might go wrong if they stayed longer, hastily said, "It's fine for just the two of us to eat; don't worry about them."
"How can you say that? They are guests, you can't just ignore them." Xu Yunxiao turned again to Qingyi and Ziyi, "It's fine, let's all go together! I still need to thank you guys later."
Thank them?
Qin Feng scratched his head, completely clueless about what was going on.
At noon,
The four of them had lunch together.
Qin Feng was still on tenterhooks, and afterward, Li Jie came to find her, and the two went shopping.
Back at the office,
Qin Feng exhaled a long sigh of relief, "That was so close, I thought something would happen this time, didn't expect my wife to be so naïve, fooled by your clumsy lies, luckily, or else it would really have been over…"
"Sister Yunxiao isn't naïve."
Ziyi spoke from the side.
"Your lie was so clumsy, anyone could tell it was fake. Normally, no one would believe it, only my wife is so innocent."
Qin Feng said.
"You really think she believed it?"
Ziyi asked again.
"Of course, she…"
Qin Feng spoke, then suddenly froze in realization, looking at Ziyi, "What do you mean??"
