Since Lin Feng was unwilling to speak, Chen Sheng and the others did not ask further and simply followed Lin Feng. They believed that since Lin Feng was going, he must have been prepared. Moreover, although everyone knew that Lin Feng was likely going to cause trouble for the Qian Family, it was still just a possibility. After all, visiting the Qian Family's shop could simply be for sightseeing or shopping; it didn't necessarily mean trouble.
As they walked along, Lin Feng realized through comparison that the Qian Family was quite prominent on Antique Street. The sellers of Rough Stones typically occupied only a small shop, but the Qian Family had four shops and more than one floor—there were three floors dedicated to the Rough Stone business. This was indeed a significant investment. Of course, this further solidified Lin Feng's determination to rob the rich to help the poor. The Qian Family was too wealthy; having money wasn't their fault, but bullying others with their wealth in front of Feng Shao was definitely their mistake.
As for the head of the Qian Family, Lin Feng could only say sorry; they could only blame Qian Liexian, the spendthrift who had provoked Lin Feng first.
Like other customers, Lin Feng and his group entered the Qian Family's store. Perhaps because of its size, the display of jade stones was quite elaborate. Some areas seemed wasteful, but at least it was pleasing to the eye—at least that's what Lin Feng thought.
Since it was still morning, although there were quite a few customers, it wasn't peak time for the Qian Family. Therefore, the head of the family and key members like Qian Liexian were not present; only a few staff members were around.
They certainly recognized Chen Sheng and his group; after all, Chen Sheng's daughter Chen Xinni was the object of affection for their Young Master. How could they not know them?
"Ah, Chen Boss has arrived! Oh my, Miss Chen, welcome! Staff, bring some tea." Familiarity makes things easier; this saying held true as they greeted Chen Sheng and his daughter warmly while ignoring Lin Feng and Dong Jie.
"Oh no, that's not necessary. We're just here to look around with friends," Chen Sheng almost told the staff that they were there to cause trouble. Naturally, he would not accept their hospitality or drink tea.
The thought of drinking hot tea while claiming to be there to cause trouble made Chen Sheng feel uncomfortable!
Thus, to avoid feeling uneasy, Chen Sheng decided not to accept their hospitality and treated himself as an ordinary customer.
"How can that be? Boss Chen and Miss Chen are esteemed guests! Please have a seat; we'll call Young Master and Master over right away." The manager would never heed Chen Sheng's words; this was an opportunity to impress Young Master. He quickly made more arrangements and even called to summon Young Master.
Inviting Young Master's beloved into the store—how could Young Master not be pleased? The thought that Young Master might reward them with ten or twenty thousand made him unable to suppress his joy.
Ten thousand or twenty thousand, that could be his salary for several months.
After all, while the jade business is said to be lucrative, it's the bosses who make the most money. Those working in the shop only have a certain understanding of jade, and earning four to five thousand a month is already quite good. The higher-paid employees are those who manage the store, the ones with a discerning eye.
There is a significant difference between being an employee and being a boss; you can never expect the boss to share profits with you, even if it's just a fraction of a percent.
This is the biggest distinction between them.
Seeing the other person say this, Chen Sheng was unsure of what to do. In the past, since the other party was so enthusiastic, it wouldn't have been a problem for Chen Sheng to go in and sit down. But today was different. Although he still didn't know what Lin Feng wanted to do, he estimated that even if Lin Feng wasn't there to cause trouble, it was likely related to causing trouble. If that were the case, would it be inappropriate for him to go in, have some tea, and enjoy himself?
However, just as he was about to refuse again, Lin Feng spoke up: "In that case, let's go in and sit down. Whoever is in charge here, call your boss over. We have a big deal to discuss with him today. If he comes late, I believe you won't be able to handle it."
This statement sounded quite impressive, but Lin Feng wasn't exaggerating at all. If their boss didn't come, what Lin Feng intended to do today would indeed be difficult for these employees to manage.
After all, whoever takes charge will face consequences!
Why would there be consequences? You’ll find out soon enough.
"Uh... okay, I'll notify him right away." The employee was taken aback by such a reprimand; he wasn't used to it. However, since Lin Feng was brought by Chen Sheng and spoke with such authority, he had no choice but to hurry and inform the boss.
"Alright, you take care of that. We'll just sit here for a bit; no need for tea. After we finish discussing business, if your boss is interested, I can treat him to champagne. It's too early to discuss anything now," Lin Feng said dismissively.
"Okay, I'm on it." Since Lin Feng had said so, the employee didn't argue further and went off to notify the boss.
Once the employee had walked away, Chen Xinni gave Lin Feng a thumbs-up and said, "Lin Feng, you're really impressive; you've got him all flustered."
"Hehe... you'll see whether I'm bluffing or not soon enough," Lin Feng replied calmly, not surprised by Chen Xinni's reaction.
"Lin Feng," said this, and naturally, the others no longer thought that Lin Feng was just bluffing them. Dong Jie was the first to ask, "Lin Feng, are you really prepared to do business with the Qian Family?"
"Yes, the Qian Family has such a solid foundation. If I don't make a deal with them, wouldn't my trip to City A be meaningless?" At this point, Lin Feng no longer hid it and revealed his intentions.
"Lin Feng, don't blame Uncle Chen for being nosy, but the strength and influence of the Qian Family are quite formidable. What do you plan to use to do business with them?" Chen Sheng couldn't help but worry about Lin Feng. Although Lin Feng was impressive, the Qian Family had been established for decades and wasn't easily fooled.
Instinctively, like everyone else, Chen Sheng didn't believe that Lin Feng truly intended to do business with the Qian Family, which is why he expressed his concerns.
"I have my own plans," Lin Feng replied without boasting. After all, everyone would soon know what he intended to do; it was too early to say anything now. He acknowledged Chen Sheng's kind reminder with a nod and then began to savor his tea.
To be fair, the Qian Family indeed had a good background. Although Lin Feng didn't know much about tea, he could still distinguish its quality by taste, and the tea prepared by the Qian Family was quite good.
Seeing that Lin Feng wasn't speaking, everyone accompanied him in drinking tea. Even Chen Xinni didn't say much. She just stared at Lin Feng with her beautiful eyes, seemingly trying to see through this mysterious young man.
As for whether she could truly understand or even see through Lin Feng using this method, that remained uncertain. After all, in his previous life, many had tried to see through him, but how many succeeded?
Even those mercenaries who lived on the edge of life and death every day couldn't see through Lin Feng; could Chen Xinni?
The answer was obviously no.
The head of the Qian Family didn't keep Lin Feng waiting long; he arrived in about thirty minutes. Of course, this might also be due to Chen Sheng's presence. Regardless, Lin Feng was quite satisfied with how quickly he came.
Especially since he was followed by his son Qian Liexian and Qian Dazongzi; Lin Feng was even more pleased.
Lin Feng had originally come because of Qian Dazongzi's departure, and now that he had arrived, it saved Lin Feng some effort.
"Brother Chen, you didn't give me a heads-up before coming. I could have gone out to greet you. Look at you showing up unexpectedly and making me wait for so long; I'm truly sorry about that." The head of the Qian Family, named Qian Hong, greeted Chen Sheng as soon as he appeared.
Businessmen have a pleasant way of speaking, and they generally avoid offending others when greeting. After Qian Hong greeted Chen Sheng, he also acknowledged everyone present, showing no disdain for Lin Feng's outward demeanor, despite Dong Jie being with him.
This is the difference between him and his bastard son: one is reserved and steady, while the other is flamboyant to the extreme. Lin Feng truly doubts whether the latter is his biological son.
"Lin Feng, right? I've heard about you. The expert from yesterday's street gambling on price—ha ha, my apologies!" After Chen Sheng's introduction, Qian Hong became acquainted with Lin Feng. In fact, he had already known about Lin Feng prior to this, not only because of Lin Feng's involvement in gambling on price yesterday but also because Lin Feng had thoroughly taken advantage of his son. Of course, he wouldn't bring this up directly.
Since he didn't mention it, Lin Feng chose not to say anything either. After all, Lin Feng had no intention of letting this old fox reprimand his son in front of him. What would be the point? Did he expect this old fox to be fair and not biased?
Another important reason Lin Feng remained silent was that he was confident in using his own strength to make Qian Liexian pay for everything he did yesterday. If that was the case, why bother speaking up?
"Lin Feng, I heard from my subordinates that you want to do business with me. I'm curious what honor I have to engage in business with you," Qian Hong asked in his usual friendly tone.
"Ha ha... it's just a small business deal. However, this small deal can only be done with you, Boss Qian, so I had to muster the courage to come and discuss it." Since Qian Hong was being polite, Lin Feng also chose his words carefully. However, he really couldn't bring himself to address Qian Hong as "brother."
How old are you? How old am I? Is it even possible for us to be brothers? That’s what Lin Feng thought.
"Oh, please clarify what you mean," Qian Hong said, genuinely puzzled about what Lin Feng intended to do.
"I mentioned it's just a small business deal because I'm interested in your shop and would like to buy it from you. I want you to give me a price," Lin Feng said lightly. Yet the words he spoke were hard for others to accept; this was one of the main businesses of the Qian Family, and it had been reduced to a mere small deal in Lin Feng's mouth?
It was another slap in the face—openly and brazenly.
