Chapter 915: Chapter 915: Head-to-Head Confrontation
"Dad, can’t you just let him finish speaking!"
Wang Jin’er looked at her father.
"No, this is a matter between men, don’t interrupt."
Wang Tiandao stepped forward to block in front of Li Feng, this bastard was attempting a coup.
And he even came up with the idea of throwing billions’ worth of Federation Coin diamonds at them. While he didn’t care about these things, just look at the women of the Wang Family.
Not just the younger generation like Wang Jin’er, even his sisters-in-law were dazzled by the diamonds, completely stunned.
This brat really understands women’s hearts.
And his move was ruthless. He had never seen anyone use billions’ worth of Federation Coin diamonds at once.
Looking at this girl, she’s even siding with Li Feng now, how could he give him another chance to speak, if he really proposed now...
Wang Jin’er pouted at Wang Tiandao’s shout.
"Even if you talk to the ends of the earth today, there’s no way, I disagree, and I won’t allow Jin’er to marry you, better give up on this idea soon."
"And take your trashy stones away with you; thinking you can use them to tempt my daughter, you’re too naive for that."
"Butler, see the guest out."
Wang Tiandao burst out fiercely, full of momentum, yet Li Feng, facing the departing Wang Tiandao, was unfazed by his aura.
"I’m not here to propose today, no need to get so tense."
Li Feng said.
Wang Tiandao grunted.
"Not here to propose?"
Wang Zhi’er, who was holding a string of diamond jewelry with her eyes full of diamonds, turned around to look: "If you’re not proposing to Sister Jin’er, why are you bringing so many diamonds?"
"Giving diamonds doesn’t necessarily mean proposing, and all these diamonds put together aren’t worth one-tenth of Jin’er, they can’t even be compared, they’re just some ornamental jewelry."
"The main reason I’m here today is to offer Miss Wang Jin’er the position of CEO of New Century Group."
Wang Jin’er, hearing Li Feng’s praise, blushed slightly, feeling a sweetness inside despite the smooth talk.
Yet when Li Feng finished his words, Wang Jin’er was momentarily stunned.
"You want to offer me the position of CEO?"
"Isn’t Century Group already bankrupt?"
Someone interjected.
"Not Century Group; it’s the New Century Group, currently restructuring, and expected to announce its establishment soon."
Wang Tiandao looked at Li Feng, sneering coldly: "Li Family boy, you’re indeed putting in effort, even coming up with such a way to appeal to my daughter."
"But kid, stop dreaming."
"Under Wang Family are several large groups, any one of them is worth more than a trillion in market value, do you think my daughter Wang Tiandao lacks such a job?"
"Whenever she’s willing, she can join any company under Wang Group and serve as CEO."
Li Feng met Wang Tiandao’s gaze, smiling slightly.
"Ha, I believe that, but you also said it, under Wang Family."
"Frankly speaking, what you’re saying belongs to Wang Family, not to Jin’er, much like while you can represent Wang Family, you are not Wang Family."
"Wang Family is a large clan, even if you try painstakingly to recruit a son-in-law to have Jin’er inherit the family’s business, it’s just your wish."
"Li Feng!"
Wang Jin’er, hearing these words from Li Feng, knew things weren’t right, hurriedly called out to him, while the Ladies from Wang Family, initially attracted by the diamonds, all turned to look over.
Listening to Li Feng, Wang Tiandao sneered coldly.
"Ha, go on, I want to see what you, a bastard of the Li Family, have to say to persuade me."
Wang Jin’er, seeing her father and Li Feng at each other’s throats, hurriedly stepped forward to grab Li Feng: "Don’t say anymore."
"Some words have to be said."
"Jin’er, step aside, let him speak."
Wang Tiandao looked towards Li Feng, his expression as cold as usual.
"You may think highly of yourself, but nobody in the Wang Family wants to hear it. This was clear the moment I stepped through the Wang Family’s gate."
"Because your interests conflict with theirs, recruiting me as the Wang Family’s son-in-law, due to my background in the Li Family, willing to make a compromise, is only because you’re isolated in Wang Family, seeking an ally."
"I must admit your scheming is good, but you think even if I married into the Wang Family, the vast Wang Family business would smoothly pass to Jin’er?"
"Ha, Jin’er has four uncles and two aunts, each holding important positions in Wang Group, and as the family head, can you really control every company under Wang Group?"
"Whether you do or not, I’m doubtful, but even if Jin’er were to take over, in my view, there are only two outcomes."
"The first outcome, to help Jin’er control Wang Group’s power, you’d have to disregard family ties. Eventually, Wang’s internal strife weakens it, and even a win would severely injure Wang Group."
"The second outcome, unable to disregard family ties, wanting to maintain family unity, some power would have to be sacrificed, compromise made, yet at the end, even obtaining part of the family business will only leave Jin’er with a piece of Wang Group that’s just an afterthought."
"This kind of struggle will only wear Jin’er’s heart out, as there’s nothing more exasperating than familial conflict, family members plotting against each other."
"Father-in-law, don’t you think you’re being selfish assuming Jin’er wants this life?"
Wang Jin’er turned to look at Li Feng, surprised at his insight, as he spoke, if following her father’s wishes, such outcomes seemed inevitable.
Her uncles certainly wouldn’t relinquish power, and with her grandmother still alive, her father, though the family head, couldn’t make unilateral decisions in Wang Family, especially against its longstanding inheritance rules.
"Ha, you’re sharp-tongued, but this is Wang Family’s internal affair, none of your business as an outsider."
"Besides, what does this have to do with your plans."
Wang Tiandao glared at Li Feng, despite being an irksome brat, he did see things clearly, a conflict he’s long wrestled with.
He wants to uphold the family, yet wants his daughter to inherit it, conflicting with the family’s tradition of male primogeniture.
Had he a son, it would all be settled, but he only has a daughter.
And because of this, the old lady in the rear courtyard watched coldly, knowing one misstep would prompt her intervention.
At that point, to avoid being labeled unfilial and unrighteous, he’d have no choice but to relinquish the family head position.
"Of course, it matters."
"Because as long as Jin’er agrees, the shares of New Century Group, I’ll keep only one percent, the rest is all hers."
