Dong Jinghua said as he picked up a pair of wedding rings.
"Heh, I made these myself. If you like them, sir, I'll give them to you for free! Consider it making a friend. May I ask your name?"
Yang Fei frowned slightly. How could Ling Feng's name be asked so casually by anyone?
However, Ling Feng rather took a liking to Dong Jinghua's straightforward personality. He picked up the matching rings and sensed the unusual radiant energy they emitted, a smile curving his lips!
"Heh, aren't you getting a headache, Boss Dong? These are quite valuable. And I must say, you're more refined than you appear. These rings are comparable to works of art!"
Dong Jinghua's eyes brightened at Ling Feng's compliment. He then let out a hearty laugh, "Haha, it's good to meet someone who appreciates them. These wouldn't be disgraced. As for their value, heh, tens of millions, I, Dong Jinghua, don't put it in my eyes. The craftsmanship is all my own, so no loss! An apology must have some sincerity, otherwise, it's better not to apologize at all!"
Hearing this, even Yang Fei couldn't help but feel a bit of goodwill towards Dong Jinghua!
Ling Feng smiled faintly, "Alright, I'll take them. My name is Ling Feng!"
"Ling Feng? A good name. Oh, Mr. Ling, your demeanor is extraordinary. Could you be from the Ling family!?"
Dong Jinghua praised, then seemed to recall something and asked curiously.
Ling Feng smiled and nodded without speaking, then handed the matching rings to Yang Fei. He turned back to Dong Jinghua and said, "If you're free tomorrow, please come to the Ling family for my wedding!"
"Oh, alright, I'll definitely go if I have time!" Dong Jinghua was taken aback but readily agreed. He enjoyed making friends and felt Ling Feng had an exceptional aura, naturally willing to associate with him. As for tomorrow, he wasn't sure if he'd have the time.
Ling Feng nodded and then, with Yang Fei, left the jewelry store without further ado!
"Heavenly Venerable, this Dong Jinghua is the largest jeweler within the thirteen safe zones of North China. His company headquarters are in Kyoto, and he's also one of us from the Martial Arts Hall. He's come to Jiangbei to replace the Ling family head!"
After getting into the car, Yang Fei started the engine and reported to Ling Feng.
Ling Feng raised an eyebrow slightly, "The head of the Jiangbei Safe Zone's All-People Martial Arts Hall?"
"Yes. It's possible that the message you had Brother Ling Yan send back last night had an effect. The Ling family head has put himself in the right position and vacated the position of Martial Arts Hall head. Dong Jinghua was then assigned here!"
Yang Fei continued to explain.
Ling Feng, however, shook his head, "His strength isn't weak. Why was he dispatched to Jiangbei?"
Yang Fei hesitated slightly before explaining, "This... it seems he offended someone in Kyoto. This is a reassignment, also to avoid trouble!"
"Mm, I understand," Ling Feng replied indifferently, as if dismissing the matter.
But Yang Fei knew that Dong Jinghua was truly lucky. Not many people entered Ling Feng's sight. Regardless of who Dong Jinghua had offended, his safety would be absolutely guaranteed now that he had arrived in Jiangbei!
Just as Ling Feng was heading to the Ling family, Dong Jinghua drove to the Jiangbei All-People Martial Arts Hall.
"Director Dong, heh, we've finally been waiting for you!"
Zhang Jia was the deputy director here. He had previously served as Ling Zhigao's deputy for two years. When Ling Zhigao was removed, Zhang Jia was the most qualified to take over. However, Dong Jinghua suddenly descended from above, so this position naturally had to be relinquished.
Therefore, despite Zhang Jia's smiling face, he was actually cursing internally!
"Deputy Director Zhang, you're too kind. My arrival has caused you trouble!"
Dong Jinghua was clearly not an idiot and understood Zhang Jia's thoughts, so he politely offered a veiled remark.
Zhang Jia's mouth twitched, and he repeatedly shook his head, "Heh, you're too polite. It's no trouble at all. You're here to be our backbone. The Martial Arts Hall cannot be without a director for a single day!"
"Heh, with Deputy Director Zhang here, everyone can rest assured."
Dong Jinghua continued to be polite.
Everyone around was watching the scene unfold. If they didn't know better, they would think Dong Jinghua and Zhang Jia were old friends who hadn't seen each other for years!
After Dong Jinghua entered the Martial Arts Hall for a meeting, Zhang Jia immediately claimed to have urgent matters to attend to and left the scene. This gesture made his stance very clear.
Dong Jinghua looked at the less than half of the high-ranking officials present for the meeting and wasn't angry at all. If Jiangbei were so easy to settle into, he wouldn't have been assigned here!
He even pretended to completely disregard Zhang Jia's actions.
Zhang Jia stood on the opposite hotel's upper floor, observing Dong Jinghua in the meeting, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Someone approached him, "Director, this Dong Jinghua doesn't seem as easy to fool as Ling Zhigao from the Ling family!"
"Nonsense! I am the deputy director, and you can't even call the Ling family head by his surname! Get out!"
Zhang Jia rebuked angrily, clearly his sycophancy had backfired.
As everyone else left the room,
Zhang Jia finally made a phone call, his expression extremely fawning, "Young Master, Dong Jinghua has arrived. I've made arrangements, but this Dong Jinghua is quite composed, showing no signs of anger. He's actually managed to stabilize the situation a bit!"
"It doesn't matter, just keep causing him trouble. Also, is there a young master from the Ling family getting married recently?"
A lazy voice came from the other end, seemingly indifferent to everything.
Zhang Jia was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded, "Yes, yes. It seems to be a child who was living abroad years ago, a love child from who knows where. His name is Ling Feng, I believe. It's an arranged marriage with Tang Zhao's daughter from Han River. I heard that woman was pregnant before marriage years ago and is lucky to be able to climb onto the Ling family's high branches!"
"Oh? Heh, you know quite a lot! Hmm, make a fuss about this. It would be best if Dong Jinghua could mess up this wedding. That would be interesting!"
The voice from the other end took on a sinister tone.
Zhang Jia couldn't help but twitch his mouth, "This, Young Master, this might be difficult to handle. The Ling family is not easy to deal with!"
"Nonsense, if the Ling family were easy to deal with, why would Dong Jinghua offend them? Just stir up some trouble, frame them with any means, the point is to make Dong Jinghua confront the Ling family. That illegitimate son named Ling Feng, or that woman from the Tang family, or their child, let Dong Jinghua find a way to confront them. At this juncture, the newly married couple represents the Ling family's face!"
Zhang Jia nodded repeatedly, his eyes growing brighter, and he became even more reverent towards the young master on the other end.
Although the other party didn't explicitly state how to proceed, just by hinting at the key information, Zhang Jia's mind had already formulated some perfect plans.
"Heh heh, Young Master, you're right. The Ling family's face cannot be challenged right now. Dong Jinghua has just entered the scene. If he slaps the Ling family in the face, they will definitely clash. We'll just watch the show, heh heh, dog eat dog, a mouthful of fur!"
Zhang Jia chuckled sinisterly, as if all his plans had already been successfully implemented!
