Chapter 248: You must have seen it wrong!
"Director Wu, you'd better speak," said Ge Dongxu, seeing that Wu Shiyi was completely stunned, and could only smile bitterly as he turned to Wu Longcai.
"Yes, yes!" Wu Longcai, upon being asked by Ge Dongxu, immediately felt unexpectedly flattered and nodded in rapid succession.
He then recounted the incident in full detail, without omitting a single point, naturally not forgetting to mention how he had tried his best to stop it earlier.
After Wu Longcai finished speaking, there was no need for Ge Dongxu to say anything; Feng Chenqing and his brothers had already made a decision.
Such scum, what's the use of letting their father give them a light scolding that doesn't really hurt? They needed to taste real hardship!
"You really think you're something, don't you!" Feng Chenqing coldly glanced at Dong Hu and Yang Shao before turning to Ge Dongxu and saying, "Dongxu, handle this matter strictly."
"Alright, let's go," Ge Dongxu nodded and said.
"Young Master Feng…"
"Young Master Ge…"
Seeing that Ge Dongxu and the others were about to leave, Dong Hu and Yang Shao panicked and tried to stop Feng Chenqing and his brothers, wanting to say a few more good words, while Ye Qianqian and Shangguan Yunfeng hurried after Ge Dongxu, begging him with terrified faces.
Dong Hu and Yang Shao still had no idea just how significant Ge Dongxu's background was. In their eyes, the root of the problem always lay with the Feng brothers. In contrast, Ye Qianqian and Shangguan Yunfeng were acutely aware that this Young Master Ge was a frightening figure whom even the second generation of the Feng Family would personally come out to meet!
But how could Ge Dongxu and the others possibly care about them?
In the end, Ge Dongxu and the rest left in an electric cart, speeding away.
"Damn it! What's there to be scared of! I refuse to believe that for such a trivial young guy, for such a trifling matter, they would actually stir up the higher-ups. At most, I'd be scolded by the old man and grounded for a while!" Watching the electric cart carrying Ge Dongxu and the others disappear into the night, Dong Hu finally couldn't restrain his curse.
"Exactly, what's there to be afraid of! They wouldn't care about all this trivial mess we have here!" Yang Shao cursed as well.
Watching Dong Hu and Yang Shao cursing away, Shangguan Yunfeng and Ye Qianqian looked at them as if they were fools.
Even now, they actually thought this was a minor issue, that Ge Dongxu was just some youngster, that he couldn't possibly alarm the second generation of the Feng family!
"Damn, what's with those looks?" The two turned around inadvertently and saw the idiotic stares from the other two, which infuriated them and they immediately started cursing.
"We're finished!" Shangguan Yunfeng and Ye Qianqian didn't care about their fiery outburst at all, and just sat down on the ground, utterly dejected.
"Look at yourselves, what cowards! What's there to fear! Even if Feng Chenqing is the eldest grandchild of the Feng family, so what? It's not like he's the one calling the shots at the Feng family. Can he bring me down just because he wants to?" Dong Hu said upon seeing this.
"We're cowards? Do you have any idea who came to meet Ge Dongxu when we landed at the airport on the same flight yesterday? It was Feng Guozhen! It was Feng Guozhen!" Shangguan Yunfeng said tearfully.
"Feng Guozhen? That's impossible, how could that be? You must have seen it wrong!" Dong Hu and Yang Shao were completely dumbstruck upon hearing this, unable to believe what they had heard.
"To pick up the airport with Feng Family's young master, a man around fifty years old, all suffused with military bearing, and resembling the young master himself, and yet it's the young master who's driving—tell me, who else but Feng Guozhen could precipitate such a scenario that requires the young master himself to drive?" Shangguan Yunfeng said with a vacant look in his eyes.
"Thud!" With that, Dong Hu and Yang the Lesser finally collapsed onto the ground as well.
Feng Guozhen personally picking someone up from the airport—what level does that imply?
...
"Brother Xu, what a coincidence, you're returning to Linzhou today too?" Seated in first class, Ge Dongxu looked outside, thinking that in a couple more hours he'd see Liu Jiayao, imagining the "foolish frolicking" in bed with her tonight, feeling waves of heat inside him, when he noticed Wu Longcai and his entourage of five.
Leading the pack was still Wu Longcai, but right behind him were Liu Manman and Wu Shiyi, chatting and laughing. When they spotted Ge Dongxu, their pretty eyes lit up.
Shangguan Yunfeng and Ye Qianqian trailed listlessly behind, especially Ye Qianqian with dark circles under her eyes and a haggard expression, clearly having not slept well the night before.

"Yeah, it is quite a coincidence." Ge Dongxu nodded to the trio with a smile.
"Qianqian, switch seats with Shiyi." Wu Longcai looked up at Ge Dongxu's seat and then turned to speak to Ye Qianqian.
It turns out that after the incident that night, and given that Ye Qianqian had offended Ge Dongxu, Wu Longcai had become quite cold towards her. Last time was purely by chance, as she found herself alone; this time, when issuing the tickets, Wu Longcai decided to give her a seat by herself, to sit with whoever she wished, keeping clear any ambiguous ties with the newcomer—even if she threw herself at him, he'd dodge her far and wide.
But coincidentally, Ye Qianqian's seat ended up being next to Ge Dongxu's once again.
Initially, Ye Qianqian's eyes brightened at the sight of Ge Dongxu's seat, considering perhaps an act of mercy from above, granting her an opportunity. What she hadn't expected was that last time, she had looked down on Ge Dongxu, bluntly switching seats with Wu Shiyi, whereas this time, she wanted to sit next to Ge Dongxu, but Wu Longcai directly stripped her of that possibility, arranging for Wu Shiyi to continue sitting with Ge Dongxu.
It was truly ironic.
Ye Qianqian pouted, her eyes turned red, and her tears were about to fall, yet she dared not utter a single word of protest.
"Director Wu, you're biased, why is it Shiyi who exchanges seats with Qianqian and not me? I also want to sit next to Brother Xu!" Ye Qianqian dared not protest, but Liu Manman was not so inhibited, her eyes gleaming with mirth as she spoke.
At Liu Manman's words, everyone in the first-class cabin couldn't help but turn to look at Ge Dongxu, thinking to themselves, who is this young man to be so popular with the ladies, to have even Liu Manman vying to sit next to him?
This was a flight heading to Linzhou, so naturally, there were quite a few people from Jiangnan Province on board, and many recognized Liu Manman.
"Brother Xu, you really have charm, now two big beauties from our station want to sit with you, what do you think we should do?" Director Wu asked Ge Dongxu with a smile.
At his words, Liu Manman and Wu Shiyi looked at Ge Dongxu with a mix of schadenfreude and anticipation, waiting to see how he would respond.
Ge Dongxu was no fool, naturally aware that choosing either of them would not end well, and indeed, he had begun to genuinely fear their clinging to him.
There was no way out, holding it in was painful enough!
"Director Wu, are you complimenting me, or causing me trouble?" Ge Dongxu said to Director Wu with a lack of good humor, then turned to Wu Shiyi and Liu Manman with an apologetic smile, "Shiyi, Manman, I'm sorry, but when we get back to Linzhou, we can find time to have tea together. Today, I have some business regarding an advertisement I want to discuss with Director Wu."
