Chapter 1025 Seeking Su Tiancheng’s Help
The next morning, Lu Feng got up refreshed. After having a simple breakfast with Shen Suyuan, he went out to the Su family to find Su Tiancheng to discuss Ye Zhentang's matter.
If Ye Zhentang wants to stand out in this fight, then it is essential to get the support of Su Tiancheng, the top leader.
In the Su family's old house, Lu Feng told Su Tiancheng everything about Ye Zhentang.
In the back garden, the two of them sat there with a pot of steaming tea in front of them.
As for Shen Suyuan, she had already been taken out to play by Su Jinrou.
"Xiaofeng, I know you have a good relationship with the Ye family, but there are too many people to watch over in this position of third in command."
“Even the Ye family in the imperial capital is eyeing this position. If you want to help Ye Zhentang get this position, you will have to pay a huge price.”
Su Tiancheng slowly savored the Longjing tea in front of him with a casual attitude.
On the other side, Lu Feng was also surprised to hear that even the four major families in the imperial capital were eyeing this position.
But if you think about it carefully, it is normal. The status of Modu in China can be said to be very important.
If someone from a prominent family can take the third-in-command position, then with the help of the family, he or she may be able to take the first-in-command position in the future.
Once you become the top leader in the Magic City, the chance of entering that central position will be greatly increased. This is an opportunity that no family will miss.
However, when Lu Feng learned that the Ye family in the imperial capital was planning to take this position, he was not afraid. Instead, he became more determined to make Ye Zhentang the third in command of the Magic City.
The reason is very simple. He has always been at odds with the Ye family. If he allows someone from the Ye family to become the third in command of the Magic City, then his base will become vulnerable and no longer safe.
You have to know that in order to build the Magic City into his base camp, he spent a huge amount of energy and material resources, and even forced many groups that originally did not belong to the Magic City to move to the Magic City.
If anyone from the Ye family were to come here, at least one third of what he had done would be destroyed.
Therefore, in order to prevent the Ye family from entering the Magic City, he must make Su Tiancheng understand the dangers of the Ye family entering the Magic City.
"Uncle, I never expected the Ye family to set their sights on this location, but that's why we have to stop them from coming in."
Lu Feng said with a serious face.
When Su Tiancheng heard this, a hint of amusement flashed across his face, and he said lightly:
"why?"
Knowing that Su Tiancheng was testing him, Lu Feng immediately explained the pros and cons.
"The reason is simple. The Ye family is a formidable force. Once they enter the Magic City, do you think they will stop at being the third in command? Definitely not."
"Perhaps by then they will aggressively plant their own people in the Magic City, and even you, the top leader, will be greatly affected."
"Even the Su family behind you will be affected. After all, the economic system of the Magic City is there, who wouldn't be tempted?"
Su Tiancheng drank tea and listened at the same time, without any change in his expression.
Seeing that these words still couldn't convince Su Tiancheng, Lu Feng had to change his strategy.
"Of course, you must have known what I'm saying for a long time. Let me talk about something else, such as the benefits of letting Ye Zhentang take over that position."
"First of all, if you are willing to help him, he will automatically be assigned to your camp. With his support, your control over the Magic City will be greatly enhanced."
"Secondly, you and the Su family will receive gratitude from Ye Zhentang and Mr. Ye Weimin. In the long run, your move will find a powerful ally for the Su family."
Lu Feng talked a lot, but Su Tiancheng remained silent until he analyzed all the pros and cons. Then Su Tiancheng spoke.
"Xiaofeng, you've really grown a lot. No wonder Zhengguo always told me that you should enter the military. I feel that if you enter the officialdom, with the help of us old guys, you can at least reach my position."
Su Tiancheng said with a hint of emotion.
After hearing this, Lu Feng showed a bitter smile on his face.
Everyone knows that being an official is a good thing, but his cheats are all about business. If his cheats are the kind that help his career, it goes without saying that he would try his best to join the officialdom.
After all, since ancient times, the people have not fought against the rich, and the rich have not fought against the officials. The rich cannot defeat the powerful.
"Uncle, I'm not cut out to be an official. You think too highly of me." Lu Feng picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it all, then stopped talking.
On the opposite side, Su Tiancheng saw that he stopped talking, and naturally understood that Lu Feng wanted him to express his attitude and whether he was willing to help.
However, he did not rush to answer. Instead, he sat there and drank tea without saying a word.
In fact, he had already thought about asking Lu Feng to help him long before Lu Feng came to him.
After all, as Lu Feng said, once the Ye family really enters the Magic City, the ones who will be most affected will be him and the Su family behind him.
So anyone can be the third in command of the Magic City, except the Ye family.
But if he and the Su family were to face the Ye family alone, to be honest, he would be a little worried. After all, the Ye family is one of the four major families in the imperial capital, and its strength and energy are much stronger than the Su family.
If he rashly confronts the Ye family, he will most likely be hated by the Ye family, although the Su family's influence in the Magic City is deeply rooted and they are not afraid of the Ye family's methods.
But once they leave the Magic City, especially come to the Imperial Capital, the Su family may be hit by the Ye family.
Especially the imperial capital, the place he most wanted to enter.
The relationship network of the four major families is so complicated and terrifying.
Therefore, he did not want to offend the Ye family completely unless it was absolutely necessary.
He had been worrying about how to ask Lu Feng for help these days, but he didn't expect Lu Feng to come to him on his own initiative.
However, even though he was very happy, he still looked calm.
There's a huge difference between help that comes easily and help that's obtained through great effort.
In the garden, the two of them drank tea one cup after another, and soon the pot of tea was completely empty.
Su Tiancheng put down his teacup and spoke.
"What you said makes sense, but even though the Ye family is strong, I'm not a pushover. When Zhengguo was here, he consulted me on many things."
"Back then, Zhengguo was the top leader, and I was the second in command. But now, I'm the top leader, and the Ye family is the third in command. They can't make any waves."
These words reached Lu Feng's ears, making him a little anxious. He opened his mouth to continue speaking, but was stopped by Su Tiancheng.
"But since you are my nephew, I will do you this favor. After you leave, just let Ye Zhentang come to see me."
