Western wedding.
A Chinese banquet, with tables of exquisite food and fine wine spread out.
Ling Feng, with Lin Siqi, toasted guests one by one. For both of them, this was a scene from their childhood memories of wedding banquets.
The groom, along with the bride and even their parents, had to toast each table.
During busy times, it might just be a sip.
But today's guests, not too many and not too few, were all present. Ling Feng wore a somewhat simple, never-before-seen smile.
Yang Fei, watching from below, couldn't help but shed a tear. It was the first time in many years he had seen Ling Feng so happy.
It was truly wonderful.
Just as Ling Feng and Lin Siqi took their seats, continuing to drink and chat with everyone, Yang Fei's phone rang.
He looked at it and saw Tang Zhao's number!
"Mr. Tang, what is it?"
Yang Fei subtly moved aside, completely out of Ling Feng's line of sight. At this moment, Yang Fei didn't want Ling Feng to be distracted in the slightest.
In fact, Ling Feng's mind was a bit hazy, not due to his state of mind, but because it was his first wedding. He felt a bit disoriented, and at this moment, Ling Feng truly grasped the concept of having his own family.
He had started a family; this was the thought in Ling Feng's mind, and the people before him were friends witnessing his becoming a family man.
To Ling Feng, everyone felt inexplicably close.
Perhaps their status and influence were insignificant compared to those Ling Feng knew, but at this moment, those of noble status were worthless in Ling Feng's heart compared to these friends!
Therefore, Ling Feng, immersed in this happiness, would not be disturbed by anyone!
Yang Fei secretly glanced back, seeing Ling Feng still drinking with people, a simple smile on his face throughout. Yang Fei's slightly furrowed brow relaxed.
Tang Zhao spoke rapidly: "Since the market opened this morning, the Yin family's stock has surged, and they've joined forces with the Zhang, Wang, and Li families to attack our Lingtian Group. As of now, our stock is nearing its lower limit, with nearly thirty billion evaporated!"
It was clear that Tang Zhao was very dissatisfied with this outcome.
Tang Zhao even wanted to ask Yang Fei what he was doing, as the Yin family's actions had been so significant all morning, with rumors already spreading outside.
There were rumors that the Yin family would no longer supply monster materials to Lingtian Group, and some reports claimed that Lingtian Group's beast-hunting team lacked proper qualifications.
These were indeed significant blows to Lingtian Group.
Initially, no one thought the Yin family posed any threat to Lingtian Group.
However, within just one morning, everyone could sense Lingtian Group's crisis, with some even believing that the Yin family would surely shake Lingtian Group's dominance in Hanjiang.
Tang Zhao could have tolerated all of this.
But what Tang Zhao couldn't tolerate was that the Yin family had deliberately leaked a piece of news: that Tang Zhao's daughter, Tang Ru, was pregnant before marriage.
This was undoubtedly scandalous gossip, originally just entertainment news.
But as rumors began to surface online, everything became distorted.
Some claimed that Lingtian Group's rise was due to Tang Ru being a mistress to wealthy individuals in the capital, with some even providing seemingly valid evidence pointing to certain rich second-generation heirs in the capital.
These could still be tolerated.
But now, a highly publicized rumor suggested that Tang Ru's daughter was the product of her own father, Tang Zhao.
This was a scandal that had crossed Tang Zhao's bottom line.
Such a baseless accusation had made Tang Zhao unable to hold back!
"Mr. Tang, please don't worry, everything is under our control!"
Yang Fei couldn't fully comprehend Tang Zhao's current feelings, but he tried his best to persuade him. In fact, this was all planned from the beginning.
This was only the morning opening; the market was now closed. When it reopened in the afternoon, everything would be different. xxs1
To make something perish, one must first drive it to madness. At this moment, Yang Fei wanted to drive the Yin family to madness.
This way, Yin Jiyuan and others from the Yin family wouldn't think of bothering Ling Feng, the wedding would proceed normally, and everything would be perfect.
Yang Fei would not let anyone ruin this.
Therefore, the losses on Tang Zhao's end were inevitable for Yang Fei.
But Tang Zhao was becoming impatient: "Yang Fei, you say everything is under control? But if this continues, in the afternoon opening, we could lose hundreds of billions in a single day. Do you know what that means? Lingtian Group could disintegrate in an instant. You won't even let me face the media. If you'd just let me go out and stabilize the situation, things would be better... I don't understand..."
Hearing this, Yang Fei knew Tang Zhao had completely lost his patience. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Mr. Tang, have you forgotten what day it is today?"
Tang Zhao's words were interrupted, and he paused, then remembered something.
"I, I know, but, is there no other way?"
"This is the best way. Mr. Tang, please cooperate. You are inconvenient to appear now, but in the afternoon, the Yin family's financial support will be completely cut off, and the real counterattack will begin. At that time, the Yin family will face even greater losses. I asked you to prepare money earlier; it's time to buy low on the Yin family's stocks. I believe Mr. Tang won't miss this opportunity, right?" Yang Fei said, word by word, with a hint of impatience.
What was Lingtian Group?
Even if it were lost now, it wouldn't matter. Would Ling Feng care too much?
Absolutely not.
Therefore, the priorities needed to be clarified!
Today, Ling Feng absolutely could not be disturbed by these trivial matters, not even a hint of impact on his mood was permissible.
Tang Zhao's doubts were instantly cleared. He then cautiously asked Yang Fei, "Have the Zhang, Wang, and Li families been dealt with? Is the Ling family involved?"
"Those three families can barely fend for themselves. I told you, everything is under our control. Mr. Tang, please be patient. Also, prepare the money. Many people will sell Yin family stocks at low prices in the afternoon, and the shares held by the Zhang, Wang, and Li families will be transferred to you. You must acquire the Yin family's assets; this can be considered my wedding gift to the Heavenly Venerate!"
With that, Yang Fei hung up the phone. He hadn't wanted to explain too clearly before, just to prevent Tang Zhao from being too anxious.
Now that Tang Zhao's patience had reached its limit, Yang Fei naturally had to explain, but there was no need to say too much.
He didn't want Tang Zhao to be too preoccupied today. The stock market fluctuations in Hanjiang were insignificant, and the online rumors didn't matter. The most important thing was that this place should not be disturbed.
Tang Zhao understood everything and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Looking at the screen, Yin Jiyuan was extremely excited: "Dad, do you think our group's market value will exceed three hundred billion this afternoon? Haha, if that really happens, the Tang family will truly be powerless!"
Yin Zhengjun also smiled, but then he pretended to be serious and shook his head: "Don't let your guard down. The Tang family is currently overwhelmed by the public opinion and scandals, but they haven't counterattacked us yet. This is somewhat strange. The commotion has been huge, and they can't just let it slide. They must know we're behind it. Therefore, something is bound to happen this afternoon, and we need to be prepared to respond!"
