Chapter 326: Chapter 62: When Spring Comes, I Don’t Speak First (Part 3)

“You have something to say, just say it.”

Zhang Zongming spoke.

Shangguan Xiao looked at him,

“I just want to remind you that from now on, the direction that the Zhang Family takes isn’t something you all can decide by gathering together; you must respect the opinion of a particular person.”

After she spoke, she turned and walked out of the hall.

She really didn’t want to get involved in the family’s financial disputes, but for the benefits that she had secured for Li Fei, she would also go all out for her nephew.

Inside the hall, the Zhang Family members looked at each other.

Zhang Zongming’s face looked somewhat unpleasant.

He had initially strongly opposed letting Shangguan Xiao take charge of the Zhang Family, and now even though she had expressed her disinclination to lead, many matters still couldn’t proceed without her, or rather, without that ally standing behind her.

Nowadays, the Zhang Family indeed had to respect the opinion of the Green-faced Ghost.

Shangguan Xiao had not walked far from the gates of Zhang Mansion when someone ran up to her:

“Lady Shangguan, our Family Head would like to meet with you.”

“And your Family Head is?”

Shangguan Xiao asked.

“Duanmu Hongjie.”

“Alright, please lead the way.”

Shangguan Xiao agreed decisively.

…

On April 1, Li Fei and Tian Yu arrived at Datong Prefecture City by train.

Chen Lixin did not return with the two of them; he had to stay in Xing City for a few months.

The curriculum at Wuda was quite flexible: as long as one earned enough Academic Points, one could graduate, so there were no attendance requirements for students.

Chen Lixin could afford to not attend school for several months.

Now that the Chen Family had completely collapsed, the Chen Family Village, which had been managed by the Chen Family for many years, recognized only the Chen Family. Introducing a different power to manage it would complicate things.

Thus, Li Fei planned to let Chen Lixin take over the Chen Family’s industries, using the Chen Family’s people to manage it, thereby slowly making Chen Family Village his own property.

The ‘Beast King’ Yu Longqing had died; the Exotic Beast Food business was a huge opportunity, and Chen Family Village was the key.

Upon returning to Datong Prefecture City, Li Fei immediately went to see Shangguan Xiao.

“Teacher Aunt, I’m back.”

“You’ve worked hard.”

Shangguan Xiao looked at Li Fei with a face full of relief and sighed,

“Now, the word outside is saying that Green-faced Ghost is a Seventh Tier Tao Foundation Daoist, but only I know that you’re not even at the Tao Foundation Stage. Even if I told this to others, no one would believe it.”

Li Fei smiled. “It’s all thanks to the teacher and teacher aunt’s guidance.”

“You,”

Shangguan Xiao said, shaking her head with a smile. “I spoke with Duanmu Hongjie yesterday.”

She began to speak about serious matters.

“What did he want to talk about?”

“That old fox finally spoke up, willing to cooperate with us. Besides, he initially offered three million to buy back Lou Yujun, now he’s raised it to five million.”

“Quite the generous offer.”

Li Fei laughed.

Only Feng Province’s wealthiest, Duanmu Hongjie, could casually offer such amounts.

“What’s his proposed cooperation plan?”

Li Fei asked.

Compared to the five million, he was more concerned with cooperating with the Duanmu family.

“Exotic Beast Food,”

Shangguan Xiao explained with a smile. “Going forward, the Duanmu family wants to buy their exotic beast food from us.”

“Oh?”

Li Fei was surprised, “Yu Longqing is dead, has the Duanmu family made no moves?”

He initially thought that when the news of Yu Longqing’s death spread, each family would be eager to divide up the ‘Beast King’s’ resources and compete for the exotic beast food business.

It seemed from what Duanmu Hongjie said, this ‘Gambling King’ appeared to be voluntarily forsaking the exotic beast food business?

“Not just the Duanmu family, the Poison King, Gun King, and Shadow King have also made no moves.”

Shangguan Xiao smiled.

Then she informed Li Fei of the ‘Shadow King’s’ announcement and also relayed what Yan Shijin had said the day before.

“I see.”

Li Fei nodded, understanding why the families weren’t rushing to divide the ‘Beast King’s’ leftover pie.

The Green-faced Ghost had returned alive and from then on could openly appear in Datong Prefecture City.

At this moment, each family’s first concern was the potential retaliation from the Green-faced Ghost; if they were the first to touch the ‘spoils of war,’ they might face immediate revenge.

Thus, despite Yu Longqing having been dead for several days, Datong Prefecture remained calm, with no familial powers making any moves.

Spring arrives and without me speaking first, which creature dares to chirp?!
