Chapter 158: Chapter 158: The Decision of Zhang Rongtao and Others

"Brother Tao...! You...?"

Suddenly hearing Zhang Rongtao’s response, He Guang’s face was filled with disbelief.

He looked at Zhang Rongtao, his mouth slightly agape, seemingly wanting to say more, but he was again interrupted by Zhang Rongtao.

"He Guang, there’s no need to say more. At this point, can’t you see the situation clearly? Sometimes, a temporary retreat doesn’t mean true withdrawal but is merely a strategic move."

Saying this, Zhang Rongtao nodded at Zhu Fei.

"Let’s go, we’ll apologize to your friend. I can also assure you that by tomorrow, I will take my people and leave Lan City. However, I want to tell you something—I, Zhang Rongtao, will remember what happened today."

With that, Zhang Rongtao didn’t waste any more words. He took the still somewhat reluctant He Guang by the side and headed to where Tang Mengyun and Pan Tingting were.

Watching the backs of Zhang Rongtao and his party, Zhu Fei’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He hadn’t expected Zhang Rongtao to be so tolerant. Despite being ’pressured’ by himself, Rongtao had not erupted but instead had calmed down enough to think things through.

However, he didn’t pay it much mind. Zhang Rongtao and his people were not worth Zhu Fei’s concern.

...

A moment later, after Zhang Rongtao and his party had finished apologizing and left, Lan Pinghai turned to Zhu Fei with a smile and said,

"Mr. Zhu, you guys probably haven’t had dinner yet, right? How about we eat together?"

Saying this, he turned his head and smiled at Tang Yueming, "Mr. Tang, you’re a well-known entrepreneur in Lan City. If it’s convenient for you afterward, how about we all get together for a meal?"

Lan Pinghai, like Zhu Fei, hadn’t taken the earlier incident with Zhang Rongtao to heart.

After all, in his view, since Zhang Rongtao and his party were associated with Yu Nianwei, they must be either his juniors or related to him.

Besides, the affairs between young people weren’t something Lan Pinghai, as the head of a city, ought to intervene in or inquire about, so he didn’t say much more on the subject.

Upon hearing Lan Pinghai’s suggestion, Tang Yueming immediately felt a surge of excitement.

He knew that, although he was a person of some standing in Lan City, compared to Lan Pinghai, he was not much.

Normally, let alone having a chance to dine with someone of Lan Pinghai’s stature, even seeking an audience wouldn’t be easy.

At that moment, Tang Yueming’s inquiring gaze immediately turned to Zhu Fei, who was standing next to his daughter.

He knew that the main guest of honor for Lan Pinghai’s invitation was, after all, Zhu Fei. If Zhu Fei was unwilling, then even if Tang Yueming himself wanted to have dinner with Lan Pinghai, it would be inappropriate to speak up.

Zhu Fei naturally saw the meaning in Tang Yueming’s eyes and could not help but smile wryly to himself.

He didn’t agree immediately but turned to look at Tang Mengyun and Pan Tingting by his side.

Regardless, the two people by his side were currently the closest to him. Some necessary respect had to be shown, and Zhu Fei needed to express that.

Tang Mengyun and Pan Tingting, seeing Zhu Fei looking at them, knew he was seeking their consent and hadn’t casually ignored them. Feeling a sweet warmth, they simultaneously nodded and said,

"We have no objections, Zhu Fei, you make the decision."

No sooner had they spoken than Tang Mengyun and Pan Tingting both looked at each other and laughed, delighted by the coincidence.

"Hmm, then let’s leave it at that," Zhu Fei said with a smile, nodding to Lan Pinghai and Tang Yueming.

Lan Pinghai returned the nod with a meaningful smile, while Tang Yueming’s face appeared slightly more complex.

He could tell that his daughter and that Pan Tingting both had some kind of special thoughts about this young man, Zhu Fei.

This gave him an odd feeling in his heart, along with some inexplicable emotions.

However, in the end, he sighed deeply in his heart and decided that on this matter, he wouldn’t say much; after all, let the younger generation handle their own fortune, and matters among young people should be solved by themselves.

At the moment, Lan Pinghai and a few others led the way, while Tang Yueming and Zhu Fei followed behind, heading towards the most luxurious private room mentioned by Tang Yueming.

...

Outside the Lan City Hotel, He Guang looked at the scene inside the hotel lobby from a distance, somewhat indignant, and said to Zhang Rongtao beside him, "Brother Tao, are we really going to let this go?"

"Heh, if we don’t let it go, what else can we do now?"

Zhang Rongtao threw away a cigarette that he had just finished and said with a playful tone, "He Guang, you should know that we are in Lan City now, not Donglin City."

"Our family’s reach hasn’t extended this far yet, and although we might not truly fear them, if we keep entangling in this matter, the ones who will suffer in the end will undoubtedly be you and me."

"But..."

He Guang seemed still unwilling, and couldn’t help but say with frustration, "But Brother Tao, you and I have grown up without ever being at such a disadvantage, who dared not to give us some face back in Donglin City?"

As he spoke, He Guang seemed to think of something, his eyes lighting up slightly, "Right, Brother Tao, didn’t you have dinner with Lv Wenshuai of the Lv family before? If I remember correctly, isn’t he also from Tiannan Province? Do you think we could...?"

"No!"

Almost subconsciously, Zhang Rongtao immediately rejected the idea as soon as he heard He Guang’s words, "Who is Lv Wenshuai? He is not someone who is on the same level as us. The only reason I managed to have dinner with him was because I had the favor of Young Master Xiao."

After a pause, Zhang Rongtao continued: "Moreover, that kid’s backing is not ordinary. Didn’t you hear just now? He has a very deep relationship with that Mr. Meng."

"If I’m not mistaken, the Mr. Meng that Secretary Lan mentioned should be Mr. Meng of the Meng family in Tiannan Province."

"Damn it! Are we really just going to let this slide?"

He Guang seemed to be still reluctant and couldn’t help but curse under his breath.

"Well, let’s do this. We’ll leave Lan City tomorrow and return to Donglin City. Once I get in touch with Young Master Xiao, we’ll see what he says. If he agrees, then perhaps we can seek assistance from Lv Wenshuai of the Lv family, how about that?"

Zhang Rongtao reached out and gently patted He Guang on the shoulder.

To be honest, he was also feeling frustrated, but he had no choice given the circumstances. He couldn’t just let go of his pride and completely fall out with the major powers here, not to mention that it seemed unworthy, and even his family would have to punish him if they found out.

"Well, that’s the only thing we can do for now."

Finally, He Guang helplessly nodded, and then he and Zhang Rongtao, along with the others, left the place.

PS: Thank you for the rewards from "Forever Imitative," and thank you for your attention. This is the third update; the fourth might be later, as I have to go out, so I ask for your understanding.
