Don’t be a licking dog when you are reborn.

Chapter 247 The setting sun will be sad (2 in 1)

The rise and fall of a family should not perhaps be judged by an outsider like him, but based on the microcosm of the times, Ji Feng could still understand it clearly.

The video products industry is indeed finished.

If we increase investment and go all in at this point in time, it would be tantamount to tying up the entire family and plummeting into the abyss.

"Lao Jiang, do you know much about their family situation?"

"You called me Brother Chaoyang before, and now you call me Old Jiang. So if you continue to take off, do you have to call me Little Jiang?"

"No, after all, you are older than me, so it's appropriate to call you Lao Jiang." Ji Feng was very sincere.

But Jiang Chaoyang just looked embarrassed. He was only 5 years older than Ji Feng. Why did this guy keep harping on about age?

“The relationship between the Mu family and our family has always been good. It can even be said that it is more than good, but very good.

The older generation really wanted to continue their friendship to the next generation, which is us, so the Mu family proposed a marriage and asked for my opinion.

But in the end Mu Wanqiu didn't agree, and I was too lazy to continue talking."

Ji Feng had some understanding of the situation between Mu Wanqiu and Jiang Chaoyang.

The two families had the intention of an alliance. Jiang Chaoyang was a handsome man who had started his own business abroad. His calm and composed personality was suitable for marriage, so he did not object.

As for Mu Wanqiu herself, she is also very impressive in terms of appearance, family, and talent.

Overall, both parties were a good match in the eyes of their parents, but unfortunately Mu Wanqiu disagreed, and the matter was never mentioned again.

"And then what happened? Tell me in detail."

"Then the 4G revolution was announced, and it was announced that an active industrial transformation would be carried out. All traditional industrial families were affected, including us..."

"Tell me more about it."

Jiang Chaoyang nodded and began to talk to Ji Feng about some of the information announced this time, as well as some situations of the Jiang and Mu families.

The push for the industry to actively transform actually began in early 13.

Now, eleven months have passed, and the Mu family’s response has not been positive enough, and the situation is very realistic.

The family had fallen into an old-fashioned industrial trap and things were going from bad to worse.

Not only the Mu family, but the Jiang family was also affected by the industrial changes and suffered losses. The old man of the Jiang family, Jiang Lan and Jiang Chaoyang's father, was furious and his health condition took a turn for the worse.

Old men have a lot of diseases, including the three highs, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, and kidney disease.

He had so many illnesses, one can imagine how dissolute he was when he was young. It’s no wonder that he had three children from the same mother.

If his family wasn't rich and hadn't had all the medical equipment and treatment available, he would have died long ago given his physical condition.

Even if he is not dead now, the situation is quite grim and he is basically in a state of waiting to die.

As soon as the old man fell, Jiang Lan took control of the Jiang family. Jiang Chaoyang was forced to return to the imperial capital, and then Jiang Lan began to carry out drastic reforms.

They are all members of the elite circle and live in the imperial capital, so they are all very sensitive to the market.

Mu Wanqiu's mother is not the only one who sees the changes of the times.

Jiang Lan also felt the changes of the times.

In this day and age, some outdated state-supported industries need to either change, optimize, or transform.

The Jiang family's steps are also very old-fashioned. If Father Jiang were still in power, he might not be able to make up his mind.

But once Jiang Lan took over, he took drastic measures and launched a fierce cleansing of the family company.

There will definitely be a period of pain, but fortunately the transformation is fast enough, the industrial classification is not as single as that of the Mu family, and the Jiang family’s funds are inherently stronger than those of the Mu family.

So the reform is effective.

Jiang Chaoyang was involved in this change and was also affected a lot, even his investment was frozen by Jiang Lan.

But in fact, he didn't have any drastic reaction and basically turned a blind eye.

Lao Jiang must be unhappy about his funds being frozen, but he did not come out to oppose Jiang Lan at this time.

Because Jiang Chaoyang also understood that although Jiang Lan’s choice was very radical and even risky, it was correct.

So after Jiang Chaoyang returned to the imperial capital, he immediately acted like he was ready to show off.

He rejected many of the older shareholders and partners who wanted to plead with him, just to cooperate with Jiang Lan in the cleansing. He had to make decisive decisions. If Jiang Lan could do it, he, Jiang Chaoyang, could do it too.

Two people with extremely bad relations chose a silent cooperation in the face of family interests.

After Jiang Lan's cleansing and transformation, although the Jiang family suffered some losses, the group structure is healthier than before.

However, once the crisis was resolved, Jiang Lan and Jiang Chaoyang naturally returned to that state of hidden hostility.

Having said that, this silent cooperation still saved the Jiang family.

It’s a pity that the Mu family is not the Jiang family and does not have such a decisive leader.

It’s not that no one noticed the family crisis. At least Shen Ling saw it and put forward her own suggestions. However, such suggestions are meaningless to those who are not in power.

For this recent investment, the Mu family has already invested a lot of family real estate.

Uncle Mu Jiang even set his eyes on the old commercial properties that the old man gave to Mu Wanqiu, but unfortunately he was stopped by Shen Ling and failed to get them.

But Mu Jiang certainly won't give up.

Many families use marriage to seek external capital injection.

The Mu family also has the same idea. As the saying goes, when you are strong, you support your family and children, and when you are weak, you seek alliances. Now that the Mu family is weak, they naturally need to seek cooperation.

Of course, they are not fools. Maybe they don’t see deeply enough, but they can still see the crisis of the Mu family.

In such turbulent times, it is natural to sell at a high price.

Young women from a family like Mu Wanqiu will instantly become victims of the family.

Mu Jiang's explanation was very simple. Mu Kui could not help, and since Mu Wanqiu had taken Mu Kui's share of the assets, he naturally had to contribute to the Mu family. It didn't make sense for him to take the money when the family had it, and to be a coward when something happened.

Mu Kui could only remain silent regarding Mu Jiang's remarks.

People like them who are from aristocratic families have no choice in their marriages. It was the same for him back then. His marriage to Shen Ling was arranged by Mu Wanqiu's grandfather.

Mu Kui himself did not struggle, and he was not surprised that Mu Wanqiu did not escape this disaster.

But many people still don’t realize that the Mu family is already a dead body in a grave, and there is no hope of saving it…

They still dream of their former glory.

"That's probably what happened."

After listening to Jiang Chaoyang's story, Ji Feng narrowed his eyes:
“I never thought that the Mu family’s situation would be so bad.”

"Well, is this trip necessary?"

Ji Feng pinched his brows with his fingers and wanted to get a drink from the waiter beside him, but as soon as he stood up, the rich kid who had been playing with his phone around him got it for him.

"Hey, Mr. Ji, I'll get it for you."

Ji Feng recognized this guy, the one who had said before that he had spent more than 20 yuan on Hearthstone but still didn’t get all the skins.

I recharged my game with more than 20 coins, and now I still serve him drinks at the party.

This guy can get along!

"Thanks, buddy."

"Well, you're welcome, my name is Xie Yulong. The game you made is really good, I like it very much." The man had a silly smile on his face and looked very honest.

Ji Feng felt that this person had a kind face, and the depression in his heart was also reduced a lot, so he smiled and said:

"Show me your Hearthstone ID, and I'll give you a mysterious gift package later."

Hearing Ji Feng say this, Xie Yulong was stunned at first, then immediately became excited, and his relationship with Ji Feng instantly became much closer.

"Look at what Brother Ji said. Am I, Xiao Xie, greedy for your gift? I just want to make friends with you. How about adding me on VX?"

"Okay, I'll scan you."

"Hey, Brother Ji is a good guy, we can get along well!"

Ji Feng felt that this guy was older than Jiang Chaoyang, but he called him Brother Ji all the time without any sense of incongruity.

He came to the capital with the intention of making good friends, so this is not a big deal. What's more, the second-generation rich who spends money on gaming is much better than the second-generation rich who spends money on wine and women and has no knowledge or skills.

After making a new second-generation rich friend and ending this episode, Ji Feng turned his thoughts back to Mu Wanqiu.

Mu Wanqiu’s current net worth is really not low.

It holds 10% of the rights and interests of "Hearthstone", "Three Kingdoms Killing" and "Score King", and also has 20% of the rights and interests of "Onmyoji" which has not yet been launched.

Even if "Onmyoji" has not been launched, the first three items are still an astonishing fortune.

In addition, she also has a two-story apartment in the old business district, two full floors.

It can be said that the little rich woman has huge assets in her hands. With this kind of net worth, she can completely break away from the Mu family.

"So, why did she do this?"

Ji Feng seemed to be asking Jiang Chaoyang, but also seemed to be asking himself.

Lao Jiang also leaned back on the sofa, holding his glass and thinking for a moment:

"Maybe she doesn't realize how rich she already is?"

Ji Feng shook his head. Mu Wanqiu was very kind, but sometimes she did things in a naive and simple way, too harmless.

But she's really not stupid.

“Perhaps knowing how much wealth one has is the most painful.”

Jiang Chaoyang was stunned. For a moment, he didn't know what Ji Feng meant by this. But when he came to his senses, he realized it a little bit late...

"If you know, then why are you still hesitating?"

Ji Feng looked at Mu Wanqiu from afar. It was hard to imagine that the happy rich woman would be holding a glass of red wine and chatting awkwardly with a few people who were obviously not related to her.

Although she is beautiful, she doesn't fit in with the people around her in the imperial capital.

"She is too proud." Ji Feng said suddenly.

"Proud? What's so proud about me?" Jiang Chaoyang was a little surprised. He always felt that the word "proud" had nothing to do with Mu Wanqiu.

“Generally speaking, pride has two common meanings.

The first category, in a negative sense, refers to a kind of self-aggrandizement and showing off of one's status or achievements, which is often synonymous with arrogance.

The second category, in a positive sense, is pride, which is an emotion of confidence and regretlessness in achieving a goal, or in a certain choice or action.

It can also be a feeling of satisfaction after being appreciated for one's independent and strong self-image.

Or, it is the sense of belonging and identity that comes from being part of a social group, which leads to a sense of satisfaction, and is sometimes used as self-deprecating encouragement.

"If you explain it this way, I do feel it..."

Jiang Chaoyang also turned his gaze to Mu Wanqiu and sighed slightly:

"So Xiao Mu is trapped by his own pride?"

"I don't know either. Maybe this is life. She has said more than once that she doesn't like the capital and longs for freedom.

But now I need to give up the freedom I once pursued and move towards responsibility, which is the responsibility of my family and my own responsibility.

No matter how dazzling the sun is, it will eventually set, and the setting sun will be very sad, so it is named sunset glow. "

"You shouldn't say these things to me."

"Didn't you ask me to come here to walk around?"

Jiang Chaoyang glanced at Ji Feng, as if he wanted to see some different emotions in Ji Feng's eyes, but he failed. Ji Feng was too calm, which made Lao Jiang feel speechless.

"Damn it, does this guy know how to be gentle with women? He won't really just watch someone die without helping, right? I don't even know what Xiao Mu likes about him."

"Oh, there are just some things I don't like."

Ji Feng also glanced at Jiang Chaoyang at this time:
"Do you really want me to help her?"

Jiang Chaoyang felt a little embarrassed as Ji Feng saw through his thoughts at a glance.

"No, I just said it casually." "Old Jiang, there's no point in being stubborn."

"What are you talking about?"

"I remember that your relationship with her mother was quite tense at the airport. Why is your attitude different now?"

"Mu Wanqiu is also an angel investor. I have a stake in all the projects she has invested in. I'm not trying to help her. I just don't want anything to go wrong with my own business."

"What do you mean by that?" Ji Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Well, the marriage partner Mu Jiang found for her is not a good match. I also hope that our cooperation can be stable and avoid any equity turmoil."

Ji Feng's fingers paused for a moment, but his expression remained unchanged:
"Marriage partner? Who is he?"

"The Shao family is from outside the city. They used to sell coal. A few years ago, they took some dirty money and laundered it. Now that they have money, they came to the capital and opened an investment company.

The older generation of the Shao family was okay, but this generation is really not. Xiao Mu's marriage partner is a very playful guy named Shao Mingyi."

Ji Feng was not interested in the gossip about these young masters in the imperial capital, nor did he want to interfere in his friend's family and private life. However, since Jiang Chaoyang had brought the matter to this point, he probably understood what Old Jiang was thinking.

"Lao Jiang, don't you dislike Mu Wanqiu? Why do you still want to help her?"

Seeing Ji Feng speak out, Jiang Chaoyang did not deny it anymore:
"Well, we were playmates when we were little, and sometimes it's not about whether we like each other or not, I just simply don't want her to get into trouble.

Shao Mingyi's private life is very chaotic. I heard that he was sick and his mushroom head was covered with flowers, but his mother suppressed it.

If Xiao Mu were to marry this kind of person, I'd feel sick just thinking about it."

Ji Feng nodded upon hearing this.

Flowers growing on mushroom heads? That's pretty disgusting.

However, Ji Feng still didn't say anything, because he didn't know what Mu Wanqiu was thinking now. In fact, as long as she made up her mind and sold all her shares in "Three Kingdoms" and "Hearthstone", he believed she should have the capital to get out.

At this point, even cutting off an arm to survive is still a way of survival.

So, what is she thinking and what is she struggling with?

Mu Wanqiu, who was far away, felt Ji Feng looking at her.

But this usual look of expectation now pierced her back like a sharp needle.

Perhaps because she really didn't want Ji Feng to see her like this, Mu Wanqiu simply turned around and faced her back to Ji Feng, as if this would allow her to avoid Ji Feng's gaze.

But things always develop contrary to one's wishes. The people surrounding Mu Wanqiu actually turned to Ji Feng and his friends at this time.

They first pointed at Boss Ji and Jiang Chaoyang and said a few words, then walked over together.

Mu Wanqiu looked very embarrassed, but she had no choice but to follow him silently.

The leader was Shao Lingling, Shao Mingyi's sister. This was why Mu Wanqiu spoke to her even though she was embarrassed.

She was heavily made-up, and although she was about the same age as Mu Wanqiu, there was already a hint of seduction and lust between her eyebrows, and her temperament did not match that of most of the young men and women here.

Although they are both extroverted, this woman does not have the sunny temperament of Mu Wanqiu at all.

Instead, it has a bit more worldly air.

Jiang Chaoyang whispered beside Ji Feng:
"This woman is Shao Mingyi's sister, Shao Lingling."

"You are Ji Feng, Mr. Ji, right? My name is Shao Lingling." Shao Lingling was very outgoing and sat directly next to Ji Feng. She smelled very good, not body odor, but a very strong perfume smell.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Ji Feng nodded politely.

"Wow, you look so young. Someone said before that you were a college student, but I couldn't believe it. Now that I see you, you look even younger than the rumors said."

"Well, I'm lucky." A standard Ji-style perfunctory response.

Ji Feng kept staring at Mu Wanqiu across from him out of the corner of his eye, but Mu Wanqiu just lowered his head and had no intention of talking to him.

good good!
We were good friends before, but now you’re pretending not to know each other, right?
walk slowly!

Shao Lingling also felt Ji Feng's coldness. She rolled her eyes slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Ji Feng's attitude.

But even so, she still leaned over, with her chest almost pressing on Ji Feng's arm.

"I heard that Mr. Ji's company is very popular now, and not only in China, but also internationally. It's really amazing..."

"It's OK. This is all thanks to the operations and planning. I usually just do odd jobs in the company."

"Mr. Ji, you are too modest. Oh, by the way, do you have a girlfriend now?"

"Yes, we're getting married soon."

When Shao Lingling heard a top-notch man like Ji Feng say directly that he was going to get married soon, she felt a little overwhelmed.

"Uh, you're getting married so early? Aren't you still in college? Actually, there's no need to get married so early. You're still young, and there's nothing to lose by having fun for two more years!"

Ji Feng didn't want to be bothered by such a person, so he just moved his butt and sat a little to the side.

"My girlfriend and I are very much in love."

Although he still had a blank expression on his face, he showed disgust with no intention of concealing it at all.

Shao Lingling was embarrassed by the continuous monsoon breeze and immediately started to speak without restraint:
"What man doesn't cheat? He's just a gamer, what's so great about that..."

Today's Ji Feng is no longer a rookie. He has four games, "Girl", "Legend", "Hearthstone" and "Three Kingdoms", and a social software "Score Emperor" in his fingertips.

Although the game content is either a web-style money-making scam, or selling erotic cards, or card games.

Its technical strength has not yet been fully demonstrated, but in terms of profitability, it is already comparable to some second-tier factories.

In today's Chinese business circle, he even dares to confront my bird factory head-on.

As for other people, as long as they are not the CEOs or founders of top companies, Ji Feng really doesn't need to give them any face.

Face comes from strength.

If he doesn't want to care, then just ignore her, let alone the daughter of the boss of an investment company, what does she mean to him!

Therefore, Ji Feng just smiled calmly:

"Well, it's really nothing special."

But he laughed, but Xie Yulong beside him didn't laugh. He just opened a hand and his hands shook, so he played the wrong card. He was in a bad mood and started to scold Shao Lingling:
"You're a bitch, wearing lace and leopard print, like a roast chicken. Do you know where this is? You're just pretending. This is the capital, why are you pretending? If you can't behave yourself, go back to your hometown and dig coal."

Monsoon: (°ー°〃)? ? ?

You shouldn't be so angry just because you lost the game, right?
He secretly gave Jiang Chaoyang a questioning look: Who is this guy?
Jiang Chaoyang immediately took the opportunity to sit over and lowered his voice: "His family is well-educated, and so is he."

Ji Feng was stunned when he heard this!
Oh shit, that’s thrilling.

The projects in Ji Feng's hands include the current game industry, Score King, and the future video industry.

The department that cannot be avoided is culture.

This is the hidden boss!
Luckily, he was speaking to this guy in a nice tone just now and even said he was going to give him a mysterious gift. How could this be a blessing in disguise?
The imperial capital is the imperial capital!

The emperor didn't even know how low his position was, and it was never a lie.

Living in the imperial capital is more strict than living in the magic city. You really can't pretend to be random, or you never know what great god you might run into.

Shao Lingling was stunned by Xie Yulong's scolding, and her face turned red:
"are you crazy?"

"Why, can you cure it?"

"What does it have to do with you if I talk to President Ji?"

"Brother Renji has already said that he has a girlfriend, and you are still blabbering on and trying to climb up the ladder. It shows that people are polite to you.

MD, I have no manners. I can't stand people like you who are just rubbing against each other. Stop being disgusting, okay?
Look at the smell on you, it's like a bloody chopping board where a pig has been killed."

People in the cultural department are the most cruel when it comes to insulting others.

Shao Lingling blushed after being scolded, and then her eyes shifted to the other side:
"Brother, he bullied me, they all bullied me."

elder brother?
When hearing this title, Ji Feng was a little curious about what kind of person the Mu family had chosen for Mu Wanqiu's marriage.
When he looked up, Ji Feng saw a man who could almost be described as fat.

He is about 1 meters tall and looks to be around 7 or years old. He has a haggard expression and heavy bags under his eyes. He looks much weaker than Chaozi.

He was dressed very decently and didn't look like a nouveau riche. He looked like a serious businessman.

When Shao Mingyi heard Shao Lingling complaining to him, a trace of impatience flashed across his face, but he still looked at Ji Feng and the others:
"Which one? What's wrong?"

"I was scolding you, so what?" Xie Yulong was really tough.

Seeing how arrogant he was, Shao Mingyi was undecided for a moment. He was also an outsider, and he didn't want to cause trouble in a place like the Red House Cocktail Party in the Imperial Capital.

So he shifted his gaze to the side, and when he saw Ji Feng he just glanced at him. But when he saw Jiang Chaoyang, his eyes were obviously stunned for a moment.

"Jiang, President Jiang is here too!"

"Heh." Jiang Chaoyang ignored him. It was obvious that Old Jiang really disliked this guy.

"Lingling, you too, these are all people I know, it must be a misunderstanding."

Money cannot touch power. Shao Mingyi is here for a blind date, so it’s better to have less trouble than more.

But Shao Lingling was very dissatisfied, she actually pointed at Mu Wanqiu:

"Brother, look at how beautiful your future sister-in-law is. How can you be so cowardly in front of your future sister-in-law?"

Sister-in-law?

Mu Wanqiu was stunned for a moment. It was also the first time she met Shao Mingyi. She felt that he was much fatter in person than in the photo.

The family was in a hurry, so she was forced to obey her uncle's request today and meet Shao Mingyi, saying that he wanted her to get in touch with him and discuss financial issues.

She didn't promise anything else.

Shao Lingling suddenly called her "sister-in-law", which made Mu Wanqiu instantly flustered.

She subconsciously looked at Ji Feng, as if she wanted to explain something.

But when she turned her eyes, she found that Ji Feng had been looking at her for an unknown period of time.

This look made Mu Wanqiu feel even more uncomfortable.

Mu Wanqiu thought of a lot of things at once, pursed her lips, and subconsciously avoided Ji Feng's gaze.

When Shao Mingyi saw Mu Wanqiu, he couldn't take his eyes off her!
Beautiful, so beautiful.

She was wearing an evening gown, with her long hair draped over her shoulders, a few natural curls falling on her delicate collarbones, making her look elegant and noble. The beige boutonniere and headdress made her look even more charming.

The only drawback is that her chest is relatively flat.

He had played with many women, but this was almost the first time he had seen one as beautiful and elegant as Mu Wanqiu.

A smile appeared on Shao Mingyi's fat face, almost squeezing his small eyes into a line.

He extended his hand to Mu Wanqiu:
"You must be Wanqiu, I am Shao Mingyi."

Mu Wanqiu was stunned. The so-called social interaction in the past seemed so thin under the pressure of the family's direct interests.

Only at this moment did Mu Wanqiu deeply realize the meaning of her mother's words.

[Letting you marry someone you like is the last thing I can do for you. ]

The process is really not that important.

Being self-righteous will only make you look more stupid!

Because the final result is right in front of us.

"me……"

Time seemed to stand still, and seconds seemed to stretch longer than years.

Mu Wanqiu's body was very stiff, even a little painful. She didn't want to shake hands with the other person. She couldn't imagine how it would feel if this person touched her.

nausea!

"Hey, interrupt me, I don't think Mr. Mu wants to shake your hand."

Feeling the expected voice, Mu Wanqiu suddenly lost her voice, tears welling up in her eyes:
"Monsoon, I'm sorry..."

"Ok, I know."
