While Qin Feng was away from Huaxia, two major events occurred. Go Zihao's unreserved leaping and jumping is all thanks to Lian Mingfei, his main pillar. Thanks to Lian Mingfei's persistent efforts, Go Zihao's reputation has been completely restored—from a mere branch hall head of a student association to a law-abiding, tax-never-disclosing businessman. It is precisely this clean slate that enables him to act so freely and unconstrained. After hearing Lin Caivéi and Shu Yajing's accounts, Qin the Young Man slammed the table: "This Go fellow truly treats himself like a dish to be served—let me see just how long he can keep bouncing around!" "This person absolutely deserves to be eliminated. He resorted to underhanded tactics, claiming our products aren't for beautification but for causing disfigurement. He even gathered a group of witnesses to testify, and simultaneously secured media coverage and website endorsements—nearly putting us in a state of ruin!" Mei Hui said, her voice filled with indignation. "Qin Feng said coldly, 'I'll have him experience the feeling of being trapped forever. By the way, today is Friday—Mayor Wang should be at home. This time, it truly comes down to him. I need to pay a visit to him and express my gratitude for his generosity!' A few minutes later, he carried several seemingly unremarkable gift boxes and knocked on the door of Mayor Wang's home. The woman who opened the door was a middle-aged lady—Mayor Wang's wife, Wang Fu. 'Good afternoon,' Qin Feng said, 'I'm here to visit Mayor Wang. I'm Qin Feng.' In fact, he had visited this place before, guided by Wang Xiao Niu, and was more familiar with the inside than with his own home. Of course, he had to appear as if it were his first visit. On hearing that it was a visit to her husband, Madame Wang wanted to decline, but as soon as she heard the name Qin Feng, her expression brightened immediately, and she smiled, saying, "You must be Qin Feng, the chairman of Qin Group—truly promising! My daughter has mentioned that you also live in this community, isn't that right?" Qin Feng smiled and replied, "That's correct—my home is on the west side, just under 200 meters from here." "Then we're neighbors, aren't we? Neighbors naturally should get to know each other—there's no need for formal visits. Please come in!" Madame Wang was exceptionally warm and hospitable, as she had heard her husband repeatedly emphasize that to defeat Lian Mingfei, Qin Feng was a crucial element. Her wording was also quite refined—she skillfully reframed the visit as a natural exchange between neighbors, which was a very astute approach. Qin Feng was polite as he followed her into the living room, where Wang Changling was already sitting on the sofa brewing tea. When he entered, Wang paused slightly, then smiled warmly, "Qin Feng! It's you! How did you come to visit?" "Ah, yes," Qin Feng said, placing the gift on the coffee table, "some rather unremarkable things—I truly hope you'll accept them!" "What kind of things?" Wang raised an eyebrow. After all, people in Wang's position were always sharp—unless they were certain of the value of the gift, they never reached out to accept it. If the gift were something precious like gold or jade, accepting it would no longer be a gesture of appreciation but rather a potential time bomb. "Local specialties—products grown by our company." "Qin Feng pointed to one of the boxes and said, 'This resembles wild ginseng, with ten times the efficacy of ginseng. It's a herb that has long since gone extinct. Since it's not available on the market, there's no established price for it!' He introduced several other herbs in succession—each one dug out from the small steamer and cultivated artificially. Though their functions don't quite match those of freshly harvested herbs, they are all highly valuable to ordinary people. Wang Changling is a good man, and good men naturally live long lives. That's precisely the purpose of sending him these nourishing herbs. Besides, he and the young lady have been close for so long—there's no telling when things might progress to the bedroom, so this could also be a way of early appreciation to his future father-in-law. Upon hearing how excellent these herbs are, Mrs. Wang immediately smiled and gladly accepted them. Who doesn't know that the herbs produced by Qin Group are always the best? Gifts presented by the chairman must surely be even better." "Oh, Qin, your newly launched cosmetics are excellent—though the quantities are quite limited, and we have to sell them in fixed daily amounts. I find it rather awkward to queue up every day. Would you mind bringing a set over for me?" Wang Fu said with a touch of embarrassment. "This one, though..." "If that's not possible, then I'll just consider it all settled—I won't mention a word!" Qin Feng smiled. "My point is, one set isn't enough. I'd really like to send you at least ten or eight sets. Please rest assured—I'll make it happen as soon as possible!" "But one set should be sufficient..." "Then if it's not enough, you can always give it as a gift to someone. I'm sure there are many friends around you who would also appreciate it. That's a wonderful way to strengthen friendships," Qin Feng said, and in just a few words, convinced Wang Fu. Wang Changling gave her a subtle nod, signaling that she could now leave. After Wang Fu had gone, he turned to Qin Feng and asked, "Qin, what do you think about Go Zihao's move against your company?" "Simple: pay back in kind "Qin Feng had known all along that Li was not on the same page as him. Straightening up, he said, "Li can't be entirely exonerated either. I'll make sure they pay the price!" Wang Changlin nodded in approval and added, "That's exactly how a man should act. Qin, I have a proposal—why don't we team up? Let's first eliminate Ge Zihao, then take down Li Mingfei. What do you think?" "Agreed," someone was willing to join, and even more importantly, he was the second-in-command of the local operation—Qin Feng certainly wouldn't pass that up. Wang Changlin knew Qin's standing was exceptional, with a powerful backing behind him. To collaborate with someone of such stature gave him great confidence in the outcome. Yet he still asked, "Specifically, how do you plan to proceed?" As allies, Qin Feng felt it was necessary to share some of his strategic intentions. "Ge Zihao's record isn't clean," he explained. "I'm going to strike directly at him, giving him no time to react, thus forcing Li Mingfei to lose his composure." "Excellent."
