108: Chapter 108 Zhang Baiyu Returns
"Hello? Feiyu, brother, are you alright?"
Zhang Baiyu's urgent voice came through the phone.
"When you used the Supreme Card to enter the auction, the person in charge contacted the board of directors to confirm the cardholder's identity. That's how I knew it was you at the auction."
"Then the auction staff told me about what happened between you and Young Master Yu."
"That kid has always been reckless and arrogant. I was worried he might make a move against you."
"Mhm! Don't worry, your company's security manager already helped me resolve the matter!"
Hearing Zhang Baiyu's concerned voice, Zhao Feiyu couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.
"That's good then!"
Zhang Baiyu breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm on my way back now. Once I'm back, I'll take you to find Young Master Yu. If that kid dares to touch a single hair on your head, I definitely won't let him off!"
As a Young Master of one of the three giants of North of the River,
Zhang Baiyu possessed the strength to go toe-to-toe with Young Master Yu.
"Are the matters over in Yunduan City settled?"
"Everything is basically on the right track. I've left the remaining matters for Liang Yu to handle. Plus, with Tiger Li and Sister Lang watching over things, there shouldn't be any major problems!"
Hearing this, Zhao Feiyu felt a bit more at ease.
Afterward, Zhao Feiyu couldn't wait to take Li Qingluo to Haixin Island.
Haixin Island was surrounded on all sides by shimmering blue lake water.
Encircling the lakeshore were lush, verdant trees.
Even the villa districts built on the shores surrounding Haixin Island were over a thousand meters away from the water's edge.
This absolutely guaranteed the tranquility of the island in the center of the lake.
There were two ways to reach Haixin Island.
The island had an independent pier where one could enter by boat.
The second was a grand avenue over ten meters wide.
The entire avenue was paved with blue bricks, with sycamore trees lining both sides.
Driving on this road gave one a feeling of being completely refreshed and relaxed.
Upon entering the Chinese-style manor on Haixin Island, Zhao Feiyu was deeply shocked by the sight before him.
Although the images on the large screen at the auction were realistic, they couldn't compare to seeing it with one's own eyes.
Li Qingluo's eyes sparkled as she looked at everything in disbelief.
"Brother Feiyu, is this our home? Why does it feel like I've stepped into a scenic tourist attraction?"
Zhao Feiyu smiled. "Yes, that's right. This will be our home from now on. Come, let's take a look and plan things out properly. We'll set aside an area to serve as the location for your antique shop!"
...
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Back at home, Young Master Yu frowned deeply as he looked at the information the butler had brought regarding Zhao Feiyu.
"What exactly is this kid's background? How can he be involved with Zhang Baiyu?"
"Why can't we find anything about his identity or background?"
"Young Master, this Zhao Feiyu has a mysterious origin. All background information shows he was born in an Orphanage in Huaishu County."
The Old Butler standing nearby spoke nervously.
"I strongly suspect this information might have been intentionally fabricated by him."
"His true background is likely far more than this."
"Being able to easily produce 60 billion to purchase the Haixin Island manor is enough to prove this person's origins are extremely powerful."
"Otherwise, Zhang Baiyu of Jiaxing Group wouldn't have made such a big fuss, dropping the project in Yunduan City to rush back."
"What? That fellow Zhang Baiyu is back?"
Young Master Yu was startled.
Even though he was also a Young Master of one of the three giants, Young Master Yu was very clear about the gap between himself and Zhang Baiyu.
At a young age, Zhang Baiyu had already achieved absolute control over Jiaxing Group, while he, at the same age, was still out eating, drinking, and acting like a profligate playboy.
Comparing the two despite their similar status, their influence in Jiangbei City was simply incomparable.
If Zhang Baiyu was backing Zhao Feiyu, then Young Master Yu would have no way to touch him.
But Young Master Yu simply couldn't swallow this resentment.
"Young Master, how about we hire professional assassins to take care of this guy in secret?"
The Old Butler suggested, plotting with his calculating mind.
"No!"
Young Master Yu rejected the idea immediately.
"Many of the powerful and wealthy in Jiangbei City know that Zhao Feiyu and I had a conflict at the auction. If he suddenly dies, any fool could guess I did it!"
Young Master Yu said angrily.
"Young Master, since we can't kill him, we can strike at the enterprises under his name. In normal business competition, even if Zhang Baiyu knows, he won't be able to do anything to us."
The Old Butler suddenly noticed the words 'Xuri Design Co., Ltd.' on Zhao Feiyu's information and had a sudden brainwave.
"Right! If I can't kill him, I'll at least disgust him to death."
Young Master Yu's eyes lit up.
"Immediately bring me all the information on this Xuri Design Co., Ltd."
A short while later, the files regarding Xuri Design Co., Ltd. were laid out before Young Master Yu.
"I didn't expect this Zhao Feiyu to be such a player. He actually bought an entire company to give to his girlfriend. Just how many girlfriends does this guy have?"
Although Young Master Yu had been a regular in the dating scene for years, he only dealt in one-night stands and never got emotionally involved.
When he saw that Zhao Feiyu was actually handling so many high-beauty-value women with ease, he couldn't help but feel a secret sense of admiration.
"Find a few people immediately to launch an attack on this company. Then contact their rivals; I want to completely crush him within a few days."
"Yes, Young Master!"
...
...
6:00 PM.
Zhao Feiyu drove his car to the building of Xuri Design Co., Ltd.
Before long, he saw Zhang Yafei, with her long hair, wearing a small suit jacket, wide-leg pants, and high heels, walking out of the company wearing glasses.
Zhao Feiyu immediately rolled down the window and waved.
"So? How did Chairperson Zhang feel today?"
Zhao Feiyu got out of the car and gentlemanly opened the door for Zhang Yafei.
"It was alright. The company's operations are very mature, so I don't need to worry much. The main trouble is the mess left behind by the board of directors."
Zhang Yafei let out a long breath and spoke with some exhaustion.
"You're the boss now, after all. Don't do everything yourself; leave some things for your subordinates to handle."
Zhao Feiyu said, feeling bad for her.
Zhang Yafei nodded and asked, "Where are we going? Home?"
"No need."
Zhao Feiyu started the car and drove forward, slowly merging into the flow of traffic.
Since it was rush hour, there were many vehicles and the speed was very slow. Zhao Feiyu explained as he drove,
"I've already prepared dinner for your mother and she's already eaten. I've settled everything at home. In a bit, I'll take you somewhere that's guaranteed to be an eye-opener."
At this moment, Zhang Yafei stared blankly at Zhao Feiyu's profile, falling into a state of infatuation.
Hearing these words, she couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart.
