Chapter 758: He Seems To Have Really Annoyed Jian Yiling

Wei Qirui replied: “Mr. Feng, I know you know Jian Yiling’s brother. Therefore, it’s understandable that you have a good impression of Jian Yiling. Furthermore, as she’s part of the younger generation, it’s reasonable for you to care and look after her as well. However, do you really think she can take up the responsibility for the Zhai family? Do you really think that she can succeed in being the matriarch of the Loyalty Alliance?
“Hmm, you can think that way,” Feng Wei replied with a smile on his face. He did not argue against Wei Qirui’s words.
“Mr. Feng, you know the situation of my family. When compared with the Zhai family, the Wei family actually holds similar levels of power. Therefore, we have the ability to lead the Loyalty Alliance.”
“So you’re telling me this because you want me to be on your side right?”
Feng Wei understood the meaning behind Wei Qirui’s words.
Wei Qirui was trying to obtain allies.
“Yes.”
“You know, I’m technically not a part of the Loyalty Alliance. Therefore, I do not want to be involved with your internal conflict. If you have the ability to overthrow Zhai Yunsheng and the Zhai family, go ahead and do so.”
Feng Wei set himself aside from the matter.
“Mr. Feng, are you really unwilling to join my alliance? I can promise you…”
“No need,” Feng Wei interrupted before Wei Qirui could even finish speaking. “I am an old acquaintance with your father. Therefore, I will not interfere with what you want to do. However, I refuse to get involved in this matter either.”

As soon as Feng Wei and Wei Qirui separated, Feng Wei called Jian Yiling. He told her about Wei Qirui’s ambitions and reminded her to be careful about him.
He wasn’t worried about Jian Yiling’s ability to handle things. However, he was worried about Jian Yiling’s ability to detect the malice of others.
She was a bit slow in this aspect. Therefore, it would be best for him to remind her.
However, Wei Qirui acted so fearlessly nowadays. Therefore, the Zhai family probably knew about this already.
“I want the Wei Group’s operations to be suspended,” Jian Yiling replied.
“Really?” Feng Wei exclaimed. He was a little surprised by Jian Yiling’s decision.
Jian Yiling’s temper was not soft. However, typically, she was not interested in a lot of things. An exception to this was making money.
Therefore, when people bullied her, she acted as though it didn’t really matter to her. This made it seem like she was easy to bully.
In the long period of time that Feng Wei had known Jian Yiling, Feng Wei rarely saw Jian Yiling become angry about something.
Therefore, he assumed that Jian Yiling wasn’t going to do anything in regard to this matter.
Contrary to this, Jian Yiling wanted the Wei Group’s operations to be suspended.
However, she wasn’t just saying this. She had the ability to see this through.
“Mhmm, really,” Jian Yiling replied.
She wasn’t joking around.
“Ahh, then I can only mourn for the Wei Group,” Feng Wei replied. After all, he did not plan to get involved in the matter. “However, if you’re planning to short [1]their stocks, count me in as well. I want to make a profit too.”
Feng Wei did not want to miss out on any opportunity to make money.
Even though he accused Jian Yiling of being a money-grubber, in reality, he was no different to her.
“Okay.”
Jian Yiling could agree to this.
“However, you need to do me a favor.”
“I knew you would say something like that,” Feng Wei replied. He was amused and helpless at the same time. “Go ahead, what do you need me to do?”
“After their operation and stocks become suspended, I want to acquire the Wei Group.”
“You want to acquire the Wei Group?” Upon hearing this, Feng Wei was rather surprised. This time, Jian Yiling’s attitude was completely different. She treated the entire situation completely differently.
It seemed as though Wei Qirui had really annoyed Jian Yiling this time.
“Yes.”
“Okay, I will handle it.”
