Campus Cultivation Master-Chapter 735 - 0737 Giving Enough Respect [Part 2]

Chu Feng looked at the adorable Nannan and gently touched the little girl’s head, smiling, "Okay, I won’t compete with you, it’s all yours."

Soon, Zhang Zhongshan, Nannan’s father, started bringing dishes one after the other. The Zhang Family made their living by the sea and started from the sea, so naturally, they prepared the best seafood dishes.

Seeing dish after dish laid out, Chu Feng’s appetite was greatly stirred, not to mention that of the five-year-old Nannan.

If it weren’t for the strict family education, Nannan would probably have already started eating.

Soon, the table was full of dishes, with the last plate of Windbreak stir-fried crab personally brought out by Old Master Zhang.

This truly flattered Chu Feng. Though Chu Feng had never met Old Master Zhang of the Cao Gang, he had heard of his name.

The Zhang family, as East River’s oldest local family, had a history stretching back several hundred years. Over these centuries, the Zhang family had evolved from a single small fishing boat into now owning five hundred-thousand-tonne juggernauts and twenty fifty-thousand-tonne giants. Adding all their other controlled vessels, the total exceeded a hundred. Their industries spread across all of Huaxia.

Moreover, the Zhang Family was one of the five oldest Cao Gang families in Huaxia, controlling over ninety percent of Huaxia’s shipping. Their power was not limited to shipping, especially since the Zhang Family was a significant proprietor in East River.

In East River, the networks and forces related to the Zhang Family were tremendously vast. Of course, the Zhang family always stabilized and strongly supported He Jianguo’s work. Likewise, such devotion also came with rewards.

However, today they had provoked Chu Feng, having believed the words of the Qi Family. They acted against Chu Feng, and naturally, Chu Feng retaliated. But before Chu Feng could even start his successive attacks, Old Master Zhang had already invited him to a meal and even personally served him dishes.

Seeing Old Master Zhang personally serving the dishes, Chu Feng naturally couldn’t remain seated. He got up and likewise took the dish from Old Master Zhang’s hands.

Old Master Zhang smiled warmly and said, "You’re the guest; you just sit down. This old man is still not so feeble that I can’t manage."

Old Master Zhang refused Chu Feng and placed the Windbreak stir-fried crab on the table himself.

Nannan could hold back no longer. She reached out her small hand, secretly grabbed a small crab leg, and quietly put it in her mouth, worried that Chu Feng and the others might see her as she nibbled it slowly.

Chu Feng, seeing such a cute little girl, couldn’t help but smile as well.

"Forget it, don’t scare the child. It’s easy to choke that way," Chu Feng extended his hand to stop Zhang Zhongshan, who was about to scold Nannan.

Old Master Zhang’s expression turned serious as he said, "You’re already such a grown man, yet you’re not as sensible as Little Friend Chu, not even knowing such small matters."

Scolded by his own father, even though Zhang Zhongshan held a dual identity straddling politics and commerce, he could only endure it.

Chu Feng looked at Old Master Zhang, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Old Master, here you are making dishes, serving dishes, and now even punning. You’re really giving me too much face, making me feel I can’t even use my backup plans, nor do I feel right using them."

Old Master Zhang laughed heartily and said, "Little Friend Chu, I like talking with smart people. Especially with someone as young and talented as you. Today I am happy; would you join this old man for a couple of drinks?"

Chu Feng replied, "It would be disrespectful to decline."

"Then go fetch the wine." Old Master Zhang’s expression stern, he said to Zhang Zhongshan.

Chu Feng quickly intervened, addressing Old Master Huang, "Old Master, you have already honored me greatly. If it goes on like this, I won’t be able to drink the wine at all."

Old Master Zhang said, "When one does wrong, they must be punished. His punishment is already very light now. Once he ruins the family, he won’t even qualify to be punished by me."

Chu Feng smiled at Old Master Zhang, "Old Master, how did you know that I had so much ’Energy’?"

Old Master Zhang said, "I wasn’t sure before, but now I am. Just your calmness and composure alone are stronger than those of my grandsons and sons. If it weren’t for having such strong confidence, you couldn’t have shown such strength."

Pausing for a moment, Old Master Zhang continued, "Moreover, you are a smart man, smarter than I thought. You don’t need to stop him anymore; just let him understand when he brings the wine back."

With the Old Master saying that, what else could Chu Feng do?

Zhang Zhongshan went to fetch the wine, while Old Master Zhang gestured for Chu Feng to sit down.

As for Nannan, she was eating very happily on the side.

"Seeing a young man like you, I truly feel old and feel that I have become dull," said Old Master Zhang with a smile.

Chu Feng said, "Old Master, you’ve praised my intelligence three times already; if you keep complimenting me, I will really be embarrassed to eat."

"Big brother, here’s a crab shell for you; it has a lot of meat. You spoke up for me just now, thank you," Nannan said as she picked up a big crab shell with her hand and placed it on Chu Feng’s plate, her little mouth oily as she spoke.

Chu Feng looked at Nannan and smiled, "Old Master, she is the truly clever one. She knew I would intervene and thus could sneak food openly."

Old Master Zhang also laughed heartily, very happily.

Soon enough, Zhang Zhongshan brought the wine.

Old Master Zhang let Zhang Zhongshan pour the wine for himself and Chu Feng; although Chu Feng wanted to stop him, he couldn’t overcome Old Master Zhang.

After pouring the wine, Old Master Zhang said, "Alright, let’s make him understand; tell him and me about your next plan."

With things as they were, naturally there were no more contingencies left, and Chu Feng had nothing to hide anymore.

"Having you deliberately detain the ships was just the first step; applying pressure was the second. Next, I will use this breakthrough to start throwing out the evidence I hold, one by one. After that, I will create some internal strife over at Sky Port and then..."

By the time Zhang Zhongshan heard all of Chu Feng’s words, he had broken out into a cold sweat. If everything truly followed Chu Feng’s planned agenda, it would not take two months before his own shipping company would go bankrupt.

And without the shipping company, would the Cao Gang still be the Cao Gang? Clearly, it would not.

Also, without a significant economic source, would the Zhang Family still be feared? Clearly, they would not.

Zhang Zhongshan really hadn’t anticipated that Chu Feng’s plan was so perfect, each step interlocking with the next. He had never thought that if it were actually implemented, his own Zhang Family would definitely be ruined.

Old Master Zhang’s expression changed after hearing Chu Feng’s plan; although he said he didn’t care, he indeed had not anticipated Chu Feng’s plan being so ’ruthless’.

"What a vicious plan!" Old Master Zhang gasped. freewebnoveℓ.com

Chu Feng said, "Old Master, though the plan is ruthless, it still has a human touch. Every step of the plan allows for some leeway."
