Chapter 3141 Bottom Line
In the end, it was Shen Jiucheng who made the call.
When receiving the call, Zhang Lei was not at all embarrassed. For him, Shen Jiucheng is Jingyi's father, and it is precisely because of this that he respects Shen Jiucheng, but this does not mean that he can be teased at will. Especially he and Ji Feng went there with 120% sincerity.
You don't have to agree, but you can't play me like this!
"Xiao Lei, Uncle wants to apologize to you and Ji Feng. What happened last time was Uncle's mistake." On the phone, Shen Jiucheng's voice was a little low.
"Uncle Shen, don't say that, I can understand." Zhang Lei said.
Shen Jiucheng smiled wryly in his heart, which was understandable, but it didn't mean he wasn't angry, otherwise, why would the Shen family fall into this situation?
He knew that Zhang Lei said this to save face for him, which made Shen Jiucheng's face even hotter.
"Xiaolei, no matter what, it was uncle who didn't think well at the time, but this shouldn't affect your relationship with Jingyi. I still hope that you two can be well." Shen Jiucheng sighed softly.
"Of course not. Uncle Shen, don't worry, Jingyi and I have a very good relationship, and it will definitely not be affected by external factors." Zhang Lei said with a smile. In fact, he has never blamed Shen Jingyi for this matter, and Shen Jiucheng is really in charge, Zhang Lei is very clear about this.
"That's good, that's good."
Shen Jiucheng sighed with emotion, only after experiencing it did he realize that some things were not taken for granted before. He originally thought that Zhang Lei was very obsessed with Jingyi, so he would definitely turn to him, but the fact poured cold water on him.
Only then did Shen Jiucheng realize that he was indeed too conceited before.
Moreover, he also regarded Zhang Lei as too weak.
"Xiao Lei, tell me Ji Feng's contact information, and I'll apologize to him." Seeing that Zhang Lei didn't say anything, Shen Jiucheng could only say.
"this……"
Zhang Lei hesitated for a moment, then said: "Uncle Shen, Ji Feng is usually very busy, I just take your words with me."
Shen Jiucheng said: "Well then, say sorry to him for me, and welcome him to visit Shen's house."
Zhang Lei said: "Good!"
Afterwards, there was another silence between the two.
Shen Jiucheng was a little embarrassed. He knew that Zhang Lei would definitely not talk to him as eagerly as before. In the past, when Zhang Lei called him on holidays, the two would talk for a long time. Zhang Lei was very talkative and knowledgeable. People can also chat together.
But now, Zhang Lei obviously has no intention of chatting with him.
After saying a few words casually, the two ended the call.
Before hanging up the phone, Shen Jiucheng suddenly said: "If Ji Feng still wants to learn the mind method, he is welcome to come anytime."
Zhang Lei said: "Thank you Uncle Shen for your kindness, I will tell him."
Shen Jiucheng didn't say anything more, he knew that Ji Feng might not come again in the future.
After the call was over, Zhang Lei couldn't help but shook his head, thinking that he knew this earlier, so why did he do it in the first place!
Zhang Lei is very clear about what happened to the Shen family, because he knows very well that once the words he uttered are spread, it will definitely have an impact on the Shen family, but he is not sure how much impact it will have, because He didn't know how much the Shen family relied on the Tong family, so he paid close attention to the situation of the Shen family.
The result surprised Zhang Lei. Through this incident, he found out that the Shen family had spread such a large stall. It was like reaching out without considering the way out. Obviously, the reason why the Shen family dared to do this was because they thought they had relied on the Tong family.
This also made Zhang Lei vigilant. He realized that he had neglected this aspect in dealing with relatives before.
It's right to help relatives appropriately, but the Shen family has done too much, it's hard to say, once something happens, not only the Shen family will be unlucky, even the Tong family will be implicated to a certain extent.
The reverse is also true, if something goes wrong with the Tong family, the Shen family will definitely be implicated.
Zhang Lei realized that he must pay attention to this aspect in the future.
...
"Madman, listen up!"
"What?" Ji Feng asked strangely.
"...Say sorry to him for me, and welcome him to visit Shen's house..."
Ji Feng couldn't help but startled: "Is this the voice of your father-in-law? Who is he apologizing to?"
Zhang Lei said: "Of course I apologize to you. I received a call from him this morning. He realized that he had made a mistake, so he called here on purpose. Originally, he planned to tell you directly. I didn't give him your contact number." Way……"
"etc!"
Ji Feng frowned, and interrupted Zhang Lei, "Leizi, why did your father-in-law suddenly call to apologize?"
Zhang Lei said with a smile: "He must have realized that he has gone too far, and he feels very sorry..."
"Crap!"
Ji Feng was immediately happy when he heard the words, "Did you do something behind your back? Tell the truth, don't put me off!"
Would Shen Jiucheng feel sorry?
This made Ji Feng very speechless. If Shen Jiucheng was really sorry, he would not have done that at the time. Even if he realized afterwards that what he did was inappropriate, he would never have called to apologize so bluntly. Instead, it will take a more tactful approach.
After all, he is Zhang Lei's future prospective father-in-law, and he is also an elder, so Shen Jiucheng definitely wants to save face.
So Ji Feng immediately realized that this was probably what Zhang Lei did behind his back, and Shen Jiucheng had to call to apologize.
"Tell me, what's going on!" Ji Feng looked at Zhang Lei, "What the hell did you do?"
"It's nothing, just let people know that the Shen family has nothing to do with the Tong family!" Zhang Lei said with a smile.
"It's nothing?!"
When Ji Feng heard it, he couldn't help shaking his head immediately, "Aren't you telling the outside world that the Shen family is a piece of fat and let everyone eat it?"
Ji Feng understood all of this with just a little thought. The Shen family must have gained huge benefits through the relationship with the Tong family in the past two years. This is obvious. You must know that when he and Zhang Lei went to the Shen family for the first time Back then, the Shen family was forced into a difficult situation by the Tan family, but now they can drive their cars to the airport apron. The speed of development is obvious.
If it weren't for the Tong family, it would be absolutely impossible for the Shen family to develop so fast.
Now that Zhang Lei is letting the wind out like this, he immediately pushes the Shen family to the forefront, killing people with soft knives is even more ruthless!
"You let me tell you what you are. If you do this, how will you explain to Jingyi?" Ji Feng couldn't help shaking his head.
"She'll understand."
Zhang Lei said: "Some things, I have to express my attitude. I don't want people to play around like a fool. No matter who it is, there is a bottom line."
Ji Feng shook his head and said: "You... It's alright, you should deal with the matter quickly, don't mess around again, and pretend that this matter never happened, I will think of a way to deal with the martial arts mentality."
Although he was blaming Zhang Lei, he was a little moved in his heart. Zhang Lei, this guy, still values the brotherhood between them more than anything else, just like he did in high school. Such a brother is worth entrusting.
Zhang Lei chuckled, "Okay, anyway, he must have a long memory this time."
"Your mouth!"
Ji Feng couldn't help laughing and said: "Shen Jiucheng is your father-in-law-to-be after all, you still have to have the respect you deserve."
Zhang Lei said: "I used to respect him very much, but what he did made people really not respectable. Besides, respecting a person is not just saying a few nice words."
"Anyway, it's your reason." Ji Feng shook his head and smiled, "Do you have time now? Go somewhere with me."
"Where?" Zhang Lei asked.
"You will know when you arrive." Ji Feng said with a smile.
...
"Mr. Shen? I'm the old manager of the city office. Mayor Zhao is back."
When Shen Jiucheng received a call from Director Chang, he couldn't help but pursed his lips, sighed softly, and turned his hands to cover clouds and rain. Maybe it was a word from Zhang Lei or Ji Feng, and the Shen family was brought back to life. opportunity!
This also made Shen Jiucheng realize again that what he did before was indeed a little too much.
He thought that he could ignore Ji Feng's request because he relied on Tong's family, because in his opinion, Zhang Lei was obsessed with his daughter, and he would always turn to his family no matter what.
However, reality taught him a lesson.
Shen Jiucheng was really impressed by this lesson!
When he was about to get off work at noon, Shen Jiucheng met Mayor Zhao. The latter didn't mention what happened in the past few days. He just smiled and invited Shen Jiucheng to eat in the office cafeteria, and talked and laughed with Shen Jiucheng.
When this scene fell into the eyes of other people in the cafeteria, the previous rumors were self-defeating.
Afterwards, good news continued to spread to the Shen family. The heads of several banks whose loans were about to expire proactively contacted Shen Jiucheng, saying that within the scope permitted by the policy, the Shen family's loan could be postponed.
Immediately afterwards, one invitation call after another came to Shen Jiucheng's cell phone. Some invited him to drink and eat, and some invited him to participate in some activities.
The Shen family has finally regained its footing!
"After all, we still lost the opportunity to bid for the land in Xiwan!" Shen Jiucheng couldn't help shaking his head, the submission of bids had been closed two days ago, and even if the Shen family had gained a firm foothold, they would have no chance to compete.
"This is a profound lesson!"
Shen Jiucheng sighed, but he didn't have much regret in his heart, but he felt a little lucky. After the lesson this time, he realized that he was really too conceited and supercilious before. The stall was too big. Once there was a storm, Shen The group actually has a precarious crisis.
It's time to take it easy!
What makes Shen Jiucheng feel the most ironic is that he originally thought that the martial arts mentality was the foundation of the Shen family, but now he realizes that without the Shen Group, the children of the Shen family can at most rely on practicing martial arts. A mouthful of food, a place to stand on, but, there is absolutely no such thing as a good life now!
