Chapter 93 The New Head of the Kong Family
Chapter 93 The New Head of the Kong Family
As Shen Luoyi and her family entered the hotel lobby, Shen Jun rolled her eyes and said to Ye Feng, "Brother-in-law, wait here for me for a moment. I'm going to the restroom and will be right back."
After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for Ye Feng's reply.
But instead of going to the restroom, he went around to another entrance of the hotel.
He then took out his phone, dialed his aunt's number, and asked where the family was.
Upon learning that the other party had already entered the parking lot, he immediately went to greet them.
"Third Aunt".
Shen Jun arrived at the parking lot and saw a beautiful woman not far away, so he went up to greet her.
The beautiful woman's name was Shen Xia, and she was Shen Lang's younger sister, the third in their lineage.
Standing beside her was a man and a woman, her daughter Shen Luoyan and Shen Luoyan's boyfriend Ren Dong.
After greeting Shen Xia, Shen Jun turned to look at Ren Dong with curiosity.
"Third Aunt, who is this?"
Shen Xia, with a smug look on her face, introduced, "This is your sister Luo Yan's boyfriend, Ren Dong, the president of the Zhonghai branch of Kong's Bank."
Shen Jun was taken aback, then quickly smiled and said, "So it's President Ren, a pleasure to meet you."
Ren Jun nodded but didn't say anything more to him.
Shen Jun's smile froze, and he awkwardly withdrew his outstretched hand.
Just then, a Rolls-Royce Phantom drove up.
Everyone turned to look and saw a middle-aged man in a well-tailored suit with a refined demeanor getting out of the car, with two bodyguards leading the way for him.
Ren Dong was taken aback when he saw the middle-aged man, and then jogged over to him.
But before they could get close, they were stopped by bodyguards.
"Halt! Who goes there?"
Ren Dong immediately smiled and explained, "Gentlemen, I meant no harm. I just came to say hello to Mr. Kong."
Kong Yiqian looked at him, thought for a moment, and then said, "Are you the newly promoted branch manager of Zhonghai Branch?"
Ren Dong nodded repeatedly and said respectfully, "It's me, Mr. Kong. I didn't expect you to remember me. It's truly my honor."
He was visibly excited; this was his boss's boss, and he was overjoyed that Fang actually remembered him.
"Um."
Kong Yiqian nodded slightly: "What is it you need?"
Ren Dong smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just saw you and thought I'd come over and say hello."
Kong Yiqian remained calm and casually said, "Thank you for your kindness. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
After speaking, he walked towards the hotel lobby accompanied by two bodyguards.
"Take care, Mr. Kong."
Ren Dong bowed deeply, then walked back to Shen Xia and the others.
Shen Luoyan asked curiously, "Brother Dong, was that Kong Yiqian, the future head of the Kong family, just now?"
Ren Dong nodded, then shook his head: "He is indeed Mr. Kong, but he is not the future head of the family."
"I received news yesterday that he is now the head of the Kong family."
They were all taken aback upon hearing this.
The top-tier wealthy families in China consist of one surname, two factions, three branches, and four clans.
Apart from the Jiang family, the other wealthy families are roughly equal in strength, each with its own strengths.
The Kong family's advantage lay in its financial resources.
Although the Shen family had some wealth and influence, their strength in all aspects was worlds apart from that of truly powerful families.
"Brother Dong, you're really amazing. You even managed to get in touch with the head of the Kong family."
Shen Luoyan looked at him with admiration.
"It's nothing."
Ren Dong nodded proudly.
Shen Jun also looked surprised and greeted, "Third Aunt, Sister Luoyan, Director Ren, let's go in."
After saying that, he led the three of them toward another entrance of the hotel.
Shen Luoyan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Shen Jun, why are we going through the side door?"
Shen Jun casually replied, "This side is closer to the private room."
Shen Xia and the other two didn't think much of it and followed him into the lobby, where they quickly took the elevator.
"You can just wait down there, you convict."
Shen Jun sneered inwardly.
The four of them arrived at the reserved private room, which was already quite full, with almost all three branches of the Shen family present.
The patriarch of the family line died young, and there were not many descendants.
The main guests were Shen Lang's father and Shen Jianguo, members of their respective families.
"Aunt Xia is here, come and sit down quickly."
Upon seeing them enter, Shen Xukun quickly stood up to greet them.
As the main character of today's banquet, he naturally needs to take the initiative in receiving guests.
Shen Xia nodded and sat down next to Shen Lang and Shen Jun's father.
When Qin Yao saw Shen Jun return but Ye Feng was nowhere to be seen, she couldn't help but ask, "Shen Jun, where's Ye Feng?"
"He said he had something to do and left for a while. I waited for him for a long time but he didn't come back, so I brought my aunt and the others up first."
"I don't know what urgent matter it is that requires us to leave at this time."
Shen Jun pretended to be helpless.
His mother said from the side, "What could a recently released convict possibly do? He's probably up to no good again."
"Mom, that's hard to say."
Shen Jun laughed and said, "Maybe he has some important business to attend to, or maybe he's meeting some important person."
He said this, but the sarcasm in his tone was unmistakable.
Shen Lang's face darkened, and his disgust for Ye Feng grew stronger.
He had been warned on the way here, yet he still messed things up now, making everyone look down on him.
Qin Yao was displeased to see them belittling Ye Feng: "Second sister-in-law, what has Ye Feng done to offend you that you would speak of him like this behind his back?"
Shen Jun's mother scoffed, "Sister-in-law, we're not talking badly about him behind his back. Isn't it a fact that he was just released from jail?"
"What does it matter to you whether my son-in-law has been released from jail or not!"
Chen Yao snorted coldly.
Shen Jun's mother curled her lip: "That boy already had a bad reputation, and he still hasn't been honest after getting engaged to Luo Yi."
"As his elder, can't I even say a few words?"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Shen Jianye, the elderly father sitting next to Shen Jianguo, scolded, "Shut up, both of you."
Today is precisely the day when their lineage is outshone, while Shen Jianguo's lineage gains prestige.
Unexpectedly, before the other side could even make a move, their own people started arguing.
Upon hearing the old man speak, the two of them shut their mouths.
Shen Hua, the second son of the Shen family, looked at Shen Lang beside him and said earnestly, "Brother, Ye Feng is not very capable, and the Ye family has long since declined. It is really inappropriate to let Luo Yi get engaged to him."
He seemed to be offering advice, but his eyes revealed disdain.
Shen Lang's face was grim, and he didn't say anything, but he also felt that what he said made some sense.
At this moment, Shen Jianguo tapped his cup, a smile on his face, and announced to everyone.
"The main reason I invited everyone here today is to discuss Xu Kun's appointment as the group's president tomorrow."
"He will be fully responsible for the cooperation with the Su family from now on, and we hope everyone will support his work in the future."
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Shen Lang, Shen Luoyi, and the others, intentionally or unintentionally.
The others also subtly glanced at Shen Luoyi. Everyone knew that only she and Shen Xukun were qualified to compete for the president's position, and they wanted to see how he would react.
But everyone noticed that Shen Luoyi's expression was indifferent, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
Just then.
Shen Jianye coughed twice, as if he had something to say.
