"Old Zhong, what about your side?" Li Zhenxing always felt that Director Zhong's reaction seemed to suggest that he had encountered some trouble. He didn't quite understand the relationship between International Airlines Company and Boeing Aerospace Company, so he could only judge from the other party's expression. "It's a no-go, completely impossible, very troublesome, extremely troublesome!" Director Zhong shook his head like a rattle drum, originally thinking it was just a greeting, but unexpectedly it was very tricky. Even as the president of International Airlines Company, he did not dare to meddle rashly; the waters were too muddy, unclear, maybe even a trap. Without sufficient interest, for International Airlines Company to rashly go to war with Boeing Aerospace Company, the cost would be too great. Even for him, there was a risk of being thoroughly wiped out, ending up in jail, getting his 'dog brains' knocked out before his own brains flew out first. He picked up the wine glass with some apology and said to Chen Fei, "Sorry, Little Chen, you better change your request!" This Lightning really couldn't be stepped on; it was lethal! Director Zhong regretted having lost his caution earlier and rashly accepted the favor. Had he known earlier, a few words of Jianghu slang to muddle through would have sufficed. Now he was left in a predicament. Li Zhenxing couldn't afford to offend the other party either, and immediately made a choice, following up with persuasion, "Little Chen, since Old Zhong is in such a difficult position, you should change your request, huh?" If International Airlines Company decided to make it difficult for Tianjiu Financial Company, a single statement could make the Li family's fortune crumble in minutes. "I have no other needs for the moment, so... let it be, I guess? It was just a casual inquiry anyway, besides, I haven't lost out on this occasion!" Chen Fei spread his hands; he couldn't force someone against their will, nor did he have the stature to do so. One's true value lies in self-awareness. Know your place. He was just a minor character and not worth International Airlines Company making a move for him. "No, no, no, I must remember this favor. When you think of something, give me a call. Right, I almost forgot!" Director Zhong slapped his forehead and pulled out a business card, handing it to Chen Fei. This wasn't a genuine forgetfulness but a subtle norm of the workplace. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry, these nobody could get a business card from the president of International Airlines Company. If Chen Fei were not endowed with the identity of a scion of the Chen Family Gate, he wouldn't have seen this card either. They would have dispatched a secretary to handle him and sent him on his way. "Thank you, Director Zhong!" Chen Fei, fully aware of this, respectfully accepted the business card with both hands. With this step down a slope provided, the minor awkwardness at the dinner table dissolved into thin air, and everyone tacitly let the matter rest there. Untapped authority expires, and the same applies to favors. As time passes, the great and the good have numerous concerns, and who will remember these things? If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Fei would definitely not trouble this significant figure again, and this business card marked the end of their connection. Face is given by others; do not take kindness for granted. A direct inquiry from the other party was enough to repay the favor. Jianghu is perilous, feelings are fickle; such a favor is business, something that outsiders would discuss. It's different from the kinship within the Chen Family Gate. Enjoy more content from empire If the Chen Family genuinely encountered an insurmountable issue, the elders of the Chen Family Gate would not sit by and do nothing. Better to rely on one's family than outsiders, and this would indeed be more justified, certainly with more dignity. At least, the elders sticking up for the scions of the Chen Family Gate would never be as apprehensive or calculating of losses and gains as Director Zhong of International Airlines Company. However, this belonged to the category of Strategic Level weapons, which the members of the Chen Family Gate would not use casually or lightly. Everyone in the Chen Family Gate knew that the meaning of Strategic Level weapons lay in their deterrence, not in their usage. If they were used carelessly, could they still be called Strategic Level? The temporarily stored F-22 at Old David's place was of no urgent concern to Chen Fei; he wasn't in desperate need of a jet. There was still a MiG-28 at the Aircrew Base awaiting a pilot. "Come on, let's drink, let's drink!" "Congratulations on finishing the exam!" Having been through it himself, Chen Fei completely understood his little sister's feelings at that moment. After all, under broad daylight and in full view of the public, how could a young girl throw herself onto a man, even if he was her own brother? He immediately bent down and picked up Big Cat, placing it in front of him. "This is a gift for you, like it or surprised?" Thank heavens, he had managed to make it in time for his little sister's exam day. Although Chen Meng had secured a trainee position with the Henghai Tactical Weapons Group, she still had to take the college entrance exam. The only difference was the threshold for admission was much lower. However, if she couldn't even scale the lowered threshold, the trainee qualification would be automatically canceled. The Henghai Tactical Weapons Group wasn't running a charity— they wouldn't hire an idiot to fool them out of a salary. "Meow! (Go to hell!)" The cosplaying Da Cheng as a polite Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet looked utterly despondent. All alone in a foreign land without proper work, it simply latched onto Chen Fei, looking to scrape together a meal where it could. The pay offered by Chen Fei wasn't high, but it came with room and board. The Li Family that had recruited the Golden-Eyed Azure-Hearted Civet was also baffled, wondering how Little Chen managed to lure away Er Lang. Hisss... where did the operation go wrong? "Eh? What a big cat! What breed is this?" Little Sister Chen paused, halting in her tracks, and took the big cat from her second brother's hands. The weight sank into her arms, and she almost couldn't hold on, promptly drawing in a sharp breath. This cat was way too heavy—what on Earth did it eat to become so heavy! "I don't know, found it on the side of the road." Chen Fei casually shrugged it off as if he had simply picked up a homeless stray cat that was just a bit big and happened to use magic. "Huh? Where's Xiao Jiu?" Chen Meng looked to her second brother's shoulder, finding it empty. Without the sight of the cheerful and lively Little Bird, she felt somewhat disappointed. No more bird to pet! Looking down, Chen Meng said doubtfully, "You didn't let this cat eat it, did you?" If it ate our bird, it will have to stay and work off the debt! A Seventh Rank Human Order Dual-Elemental Magical Beast exchanged for a Third Rank Pure Light Sparrow—whose fool idea was this? "Meow! (Who ate your bird? Speak clearly, impudent girl!)" Temp worker Er Lang wanted to scratch this girl's face with its paw but was stopped by a look from its owner. If an ordinary person got scratched by a Magical Beast, there would be hell to pay! "Ahem! It wasn't its fault!" Chen Fei cleared his throat and said, "Xiao Jiu is helping the boss out with some face-saving!" A Third Rank Pure Light Sparrow might not be a powerful Magical Beast, but it was still a rare sight. It could shine some light for Boss Hana, boost the atmosphere, and effortlessly show off a bit. -
