I, the wanderer of the universe, love making friends

Chapter 38: On the surface, they are close, but behind the scenes, they are playing tricks on each other

Feng Jingyao frowned slightly, thought carefully for a moment, and then asked, "If you send a telegram back to the company tomorrow, how long will it take for the gun to arrive here?"

Shen Lang replied, "It will take at least a month. I only brought a dozen guns with me this time as preliminary preparations. Only after we have established a firm foothold can we better conduct business."

He went on to explain, "It's not appropriate or safe to bring too many weapons at once."

Feng Jingyao nodded, expressing his understanding. "This is indeed a safer approach. You're new here and don't have many local acquaintances. Outsiders who want to gain a foothold in Shanghai must first pay respects to the locals. Otherwise, it will be difficult to continue doing business, and you may be forced to close down at any time."

Shen Lang smiled and said, "Yes, that's why I came to cooperate with my father-in-law!"

Feng Jingyao responded, "Regarding the arms matter, we will discuss it in detail after the goods arrive. As for your marriage with Cheng Cheng, I have always loved her very much. As long as it is the person she chooses, I will naturally not easily object."

Shen Lang immediately clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, for your help!"

"But..." Feng Jingyao said, "Since the guns won't arrive for a month, you can help me with some work first and get to know some of the local important people. Once the guns arrive, we can start our business."

When Shen Lang talked about the arms business, he was already thinking about how to collude with the Japanese in the Tianlong Society to smuggle arms.

Because the business Shen Lang talked about was not promising at all.

But the Japanese already have accurate information.

As long as he could get money and status, Feng Jingyao didn't care even if he did traitorous things that harmed others and himself in secret.

Therefore, they also had business dealings with the French Concession and the Japanese, especially close relations with the Japanese.

"Could it be Chen Lianshan's piece of land? Then there's no need for me to take action, right?" Shen Lang asked curiously. He painted such a big pie and even gave a gun, but he couldn't fool Feng Jingyao.

"Chen Lianshan's land is just a small matter." Feng Jingyao shook his head. "I'm already this old, and I only have one daughter, Cheng Cheng. I have to find a successor to take over the Feng family business."

This old guy paints one pie in the sky after another.

Feng Jingyao then sighed, "Although I'm a tycoon who dominates Shanghai, I don't know how many people are secretly trying to take my life and wealth. I can't quit now, so I can only keep going."

He handed Shen Lang a cigarette and said, "Now that I see that you and Cheng Cheng are so in love, I feel much more at ease. Anyway, you have nothing to do these days, so come and help me, and you will also help Cheng Cheng."

"Since it's come to this, it would be too disrespectful for me to refuse." Shen Lang responded casually, "I can help you with a little help during this period."

Feng Jingyao laughed heartily: "You are brave, resourceful, and courageous. We will definitely be able to carve out a kingdom."

He lit a cigarette and called out, "Ah Si, Ah Si."

"Master, I'm here."

"Go upstairs and call the young lady down."

In fact, Feng Chengcheng had been hiding on the stairs, fearing that her father would drive Shen Lang away.

When I saw the two of them talking in low voices for more than ten minutes, and then they started calling each other father-in-law and son-in-law, I knew that the matter was probably settled.

Hearing his father's words again, he hurried back to his room to put on another coat.

Then I went downstairs again.

Pretend to run into Ah Si by chance.

"Dad, you're looking for me?" Feng Chengcheng sat on the sofa across from Feng Jingyao and asked with a smile, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

As the only daughter of Feng Jingyao, a Shanghai gangster boss, she was raised very well by Feng Jingyao and was not infected with any of the gangster's bad habits. It was really incredible.

Feng Jingyao looked at her seriously and sighed softly, "Unconsciously, you have reached the age to get married. Shen Lang just told me about your relationship. Since you two are in love, Dad will naturally not separate you."

"Thank you dad."

"However, Shen Lang just arrived in Shanghai and his career hasn't started yet, so I want him to help me in the company first. After all, these are our own businesses. After I die, all of these will belong to you."

Feng Jingyao asked, "What do you think of this idea? Dad is old and needs a capable successor."

He seemed to be discussing with Feng Chengcheng, but in fact he was talking to Shen Lang.

He also asked his daughter to give Shen Lang some advice.

Feng Chengcheng turned to look at Shen Lang, "What do you think?"

"Since my father-in-law thinks highly of me, I'd be more than happy to have it." Shen Lang said straightforwardly, "They're all our own property."

In his heart, he was thinking whether he should find an opportunity to kill Feng Jingyao.

Because he didn't want to bear the stigma of being a traitorous son-in-law. "It would be great if you could agree to this." Feng Chengcheng said with a smile to Feng Jingyao, "Dad, don't charge for that house. It's not easy to make money from a house worth tens of thousands of yuan."

"You, you haven't even gotten married yet, but you're already starting to act like a fool." Feng Jingyao smiled and said, "Then consider it your father's wedding gift to you, okay?"

"Dad..." Feng Chengcheng's face turned red.

Feng Jingyao asked again, "Shen Lang, do you have parents or other relatives at home? Send them a telegram and ask them to come to Shanghai to discuss the marriage together."

"I'm alone." Shen Lang sighed, "So I'm the only one who can negotiate this marriage."

Feng Jingyao pondered for a moment and said, "Since you and Cheng Cheng are so in love, I think three days from now is an auspicious day, so I'll hold an engagement party for you. You can try to send invitations to Cai Liujin and the other leaders who will be visiting Jingwu Sect that day."

Shen Lang's cake did not fascinate him, but his cake was endless.

And his acting skills are top-notch. He looks smiling on the surface, but he can throw a flying cake without blinking.

Conspiracies and intrigues come out of nowhere.

First, set up a three-day period to stabilize Shen Lang.

Feng Chengcheng was also shocked by the date Feng Jingyao mentioned: "So soon?"

"Is it fast? If it's any slower, you might even be pregnant." Feng Jingyao said, "If you can't wear the wedding dress by then, you'll say Dad is unreasonable."

Feng Chengcheng's face turned even redder.

Shen Lang said, "In that case, I'll trouble my father-in-law to take care of it. I'll try to send them a message and see if they can come and participate."

"It's settled now." Feng Jingyao said solemnly, "Shen Lang, Cheng Cheng is my only precious daughter. You must treat her well and never let her suffer any injustice."

"Of course, I will definitely take good care of her." Shen Lang agreed without hesitation.

But then he changed his tone and said, "But I thought about it and realized that holding the engagement party first would be unfair to Cheng Cheng."

"What do you mean?" Feng Jingyao gave him a puzzled look.

Feng Chengcheng was also very curious.

Shen Lang said, "Since it's an auspicious day, why not just hold the wedding and give Cheng Cheng an explanation? At the same time, Cheng Cheng and I will work hard to have a big fat boy as soon as possible. If we have two, one will take his mother's surname Feng, and the other will take my surname Shen."

Feng Jingyao promised him something, but he tried to seize Feng Jingyao's property.

I had already thought about how to get rid of Feng Jingyao.

Feng Jingyao was a little annoyed. This kid was just as good at making promises as he was. He hadn't even done anything for him yet, but he was already trying to seduce his daughter.

They seem to be close on the surface, but are actually playing tricks behind the scenes.

But he didn't show it on his face, just waved his hand: "Hey, that's too hasty. People might think that I, Feng Jingyao, don't take my daughter's wedding seriously. Let's hold the engagement party first."

He stood up and said, "There are many guest rooms in our house. You can rest here tonight."

And called Ah Si to arrange the guest rooms.

Then he said, "I'll go back to the study first. You guys should go to bed early."

After he went upstairs and left, Shen Lang whispered to Feng Chengcheng, "Where is your room? I'll come find you later."

"Go upstairs and turn left to the first room."

Although Ah Si arranged a room for him, Shen Lang still sneaked into Feng Chengcheng's room at night.

So the next day when Feng Jingyao was about to go downstairs.

I happened to see Shen Lang coming out of Feng Chengcheng's room.

He stopped immediately and asked, "Did you sleep in Cheng Cheng's room last night?"

"Isn't this about negotiating the engagement banquet? That's why we accidentally got late." Shen Lang lied, "Besides, Cheng Cheng also wants to have a son or daughter soon..."

Feng Jingyao suppressed his displeasure and said, "I'll arrange for someone to come over and clean your house today. Don't go anywhere else. I'll introduce you to a few Japanese people and find a way to resolve the matter of you killing Japanese people in Jingwumen."
