Chapter 829 - Chapter 829 Chapter 829 Zealously Pursue

Chapter 829: Chapter 829 Zealously Pursue Chapter 829: Chapter 829 Zealously Pursue On the phone, the general manager of Central Airlines gritted his teeth and asked angrily, “You bastard… why did you mess with a first-class passenger? Aren’t there enough flight attendants for you to play with?”

Manager Dong was actually very fond of his nephew. Among the three brothers of the Dong family, only the eldest had a son, who was the sole heir of the family.

The eldest of the Dong family, Manager Dong’s father, was a very ordinary and honest person. The second son, Dong Feng had been a pilot. By a stroke of luck, he landed the position of general manager of Central Airlines, which was indeed a great achievement for an ordinary family.

Dong Feng was always very cautious in his bureaucratic career, fearing to make even the slightest mistake. He didn’t even help his older and younger brothers in their careers.

In his words, those two weren’t cut out for officialdom. It was better for them to live as small-time folks without affecting him. Of course, he would give financial aid to his older and younger brothers when necessary.

The only exception was his nephew, Dong Yunjie. After all, he was the sole heir of the Dong family.

As for Dong Yunjie’s scandals with flight attendants, it was actually an unspoken rule of the industry. There’s no need to say more; even among flight attendants, there is a huge difference in income between those who fly domestic routes and those who fly international.

In fact, the private lives of many flight attendants were quite chaotic. Take, for example, the videos of flight attendants and pilots engaging in debauchery – when you’re away from home year-round, everyone has physical needs, right?

With an uncle like that, Dong Yunjie had no shortage of flight attendants willing to get intimate with him. Some pilots, looking to curry favor with him, even introduced him to some flight attendants – it was just those sorts of sordid affairs.

Dong Feng was well aware of this and had even stepped forward to smooth things over for his nephew on a couple of occasions.

When Dong Yunjie heard these words, he was immediately startled, “Second Uncle, I didn’t do anything.”

“What do you mean you did nothing, I’m already being investigated,” Dong Feng retorted angrily, his frustration evident, “What more do you want to do? Do you want to see me suffer more?”

The next couple of years were crucial for him. One more step up and the sky would be the limit. If he couldn’t move, then that was probably it for his life.

That’s why it was particularly intolerable for him to encounter problems at this juncture. The ceiling was within reach, and the opportunity to break through was too rare – indeed, this was not just a case of falling behind if you miss a step, but the difficulty of breaking through the ceiling coming from a grassroots background.

And just at this critical moment, word came from above looking to investigate him.

How should one describe the investigation…? Dong Feng was both afraid and unafraid.

These days, no leader’s rear end was clean. If they were to investigate him thoroughly, he wouldn’t die, but he would certainly shed a layer of skin.

But honestly… he had been relatively cautious. Although he was worth tens of millions, his income sources were all very safe. For the head of an airline company to be worth only tens of millions was incredibly honest, wasn’t it?

If they could really find issues with him, that would mean someone was intentionally targeting him. Indeed, coming from a grassroots background, he could not withstand deliberate targeting, but he did have interested parties who would support him. Who could guarantee that the other party wasn’t “COVID” for him?

So he wasn’t very worried about people deliberately targeting him, but any investigation would at least represent a certain stance.

Dong Feng knew that the person investigating him was very powerful, and beyond his ability to resist, but within the civil aviation system, they might not be able to touch him. However, what he feared the most was… this could affect his upward mobility.

The opposition was too powerful. Although he was in a different system, they could do enough damage to keep him from succeeding but pull him down with ease.

Of course, if they had some other trickery up their sleeve, it wouldn’t be too surprising if they sent him to prison.

At this moment, he truly detested his nephew. If he had known that this brat was such a liability, he would have been better off keeping him in the countryside and never letting him out.

Dong Yunjie was truly dumbfounded, “Second Uncle, I really didn’t do anything, I just tried to start a conversation and maybe got a bit persistent.”

“For crying out loud,” Dong Feng cursed furiously, “Who gave you the confidence to harass a first-class passenger?”

Dong Yunjie was at a loss for words. During the New Year, you even said that these days any Tom, Dick, or Harry could sit in first class.

But at this moment, he couldn’t argue with his second uncle. To speak frankly, if he lost his second uncle’s support, relying solely on his father and third uncle, he really would be nothing – he might not even be able to afford a first-class seat.

So he could only apologize sincerely, “Second Uncle, I know I was wrong. I’ll go apologize to the passenger.”

Dong Feng was still furious, “If you can’t get the passenger’s forgiveness, I’m cutting ties with you and your family… what the hell have you been doing all these years, have I ever wronged you?”

Dong Yunjie silently hung up the phone, with only one thought in his mind: Nowadays, you really can’t just hassle a beautiful woman – even if you want to marry her.

He never considered that he might want to marry Zhang Caixin, but what made him think Zhang Caixin would want to marry him? Just because he was shameless enough to pester her?

Let’s set aside what Zhang Caixin had been through and return to Luohua Manor.

Feng Jun spent two days nurturing the Mountain and River Seal in the manor. Since Gazi, Wang Haifeng, and good scenery had all gone home to deliver Spirit Rice, and Gazi was not only delivering it to his own family but also to Feng Wenhui and his wife.

Therefore, the duty of guarding the manor mainly fell on Hua Hua and Feng Jun.

With their cultivation levels, this task was certainly no problem, but some troubles could not be solved by cultivation alone.

Zhuang Haoyun had waited for two days at the mountain gate, and on the third day, he finally saw Mei returning and hurriedly stopped her car, “Teacher Mei, I have some old items that I would like to offer to Master Feng… May I trouble you to pass on a message?”

Teacher Mei saw how hard it was for him, so she nodded, “Then I’ll give it a try.”

Feng Jun heard this news and was also somewhat helpless. Nowadays, not only do heroines fear persistent suitors, but he was also troubled by these entangling fellows.

Especially since the Zhuang family had dealt with him before and was not the particularly vexing kind.

In the end, he still informed the gatekeeper to let this guy in–but he also sent a warning in advance, saying if the things you bring have no value, it will be difficult for you to enter this gate in the future if you interrupt my seclusion.

This time, Zhuang Haoyun truly brought out an antique, a Jade Jue from the Shang Dynasty, carved with a crude Chi dragon. The Jade Jue was mostly intact, except for some minor damage along the edges.

This item was not a Magic Artifact, but undoubtedly, it was a valuable antique. Feng Jun did not doubt its age–his mobile phone told him that this was indeed an ancient jade.

Zhuang Haoyun said that he bought this piece of jade at a high price from someone else because he felt that Master Feng was a lover of jade–which was evident from the Jade Villa.

Feng Jun liked this piece of jade too. He dealt in jade, true, but that was just for material supply. He was also willing to collect historical jades, let alone an ancient jade from the Shang Dynasty.

“The Xia Dynasty had craftsmen of jade,” which was probably as rare as “a courtyard with trees in Houhai.” Feng Jun was not a greedy man, and not having the jade of the Xia Dynasty artisans, jade of the Shang Dynasty craftsmen was quite good too.

Nevertheless, he still asked, “How much did you spend on this jade?”

“Talking about money is vulgar,” Zhuang Haoyun replied with a smiling face–he could not possibly reveal the price.

What he really wanted to explain was, “This piece of jade… I intercepted it from someone in Kunlun.”

The Zhuang family was well acquainted with many people in Luohua Manor, and even with the Little Celestial Masters and Heavenly Masters of Maoshan.

So, they knew about the conflict that arose between Luohua Manor and Kunlun not long ago, and in the end, it was Luohua Manor that won.

Zhuang Haoyun’s resourcefulness was really too strong. He inquired everywhere about Kunlun’s roots, only to find that no one knew where Kunlun’s mountain gate was.

Thus, he took the chance during the summer to travel to the west, where he also had some business, so it wasn’t a waste of time.

After arriving there, he cautiously inquired with business partners: where is Kunlun’s mountain gate?

He thought that if he could find out this piece of news, he would definitely be able to please Master Feng.

This curiosity of Zhuang Haoyun’s was not uncommon locally, so it did not arouse too much suspicion from others.

The locals responded that Kunlun was everywhere, and advised him not to inquire about it, as it was taboo.

Then he encountered someone selling this jade and after having it appraised, he competed in bidding.

The price soared higher and higher, and in the end, another fellow competed with him.

Zhuang Haoyun was about to give up when the other party obviously couldn’t hold out either and sent someone to convey that he was buying on behalf of Kunlun. The intermediary acknowledged Zhuang’s strength and suggested that, if he could back down, he would earn his friendship.

When Zhuang Haoyun heard this, he became even more interested and decisively raised the bid, securing the ancient jade.

Originally, he thought that maybe Kunlun would take the initiative to contact him, and he could use the opportunity to probe further.

Even if he gave the ancient jade to Kunlun, it wouldn’t matter as long as he could learn the inside story of Kunlun–that would be considered a merit.

He wasn’t thinking of getting cozy with Kunlun afterward to let the children follow Kunlun for Cultivation.

As a successful businessman, he understood the logic of choosing sides. It wasn’t important whether Kunlun or Luohua Manor was more formidable; what mattered was–he originally followed Luohua Manor and had no wish to incur the wrath of Luohua Manor.

Unfortunately, after he purchased the ancient jade, he waited over ten days and not a person from Kunlun contacted him, but other businessmen who had heard the news came to try and get the ancient jade from him–among them, some may have been instructed by Kunlun.

In any case, as the other party did not reveal their identity, Zhuang Haoyun didn’t ask and after refusing many others, he returned to Jin Province from the west, rested for a couple of days, and then headed down to Zhengyang.

After listening to his explanation, Feng Jun couldn’t help but sigh: Zhuang Haoyun’s tenacity was not small at all.

Daring to steal the Ancestral Tablet of Maoshan, daring to intercept Kunlun’s bidding, a successful businessman indeed needs great boldness and determination.

He looked at the ancient jade in his hand again and pondered before speaking, “You truly won’t tell me the price?”

With a bow, Zhuang Haoyun spoke earnestly, “I only hope that my child can follow the master for Cultivation… These worldly possessions truly mean nothing.”
