Chapter 297: Su Xueyan as Chairman?

"It's been many days, Duanmu Eldest Son, and your swagger is only getting bigger."

Jiang Feng looked at Duanmu Hongjie kneeling on the ground, a half‑smile curling his mouth, his tone dripping with obvious sarcasm.

"Looks like a month of confinement is still a bit short for Duanmu Eldest Son… you really don't learn."

"Mr. Jiang, I'm truly an innocent scapegoat!"

Hearing that, Duanmu Hongjie's face turned mournful instantly, almost shedding tears on the spot.

"It's all Ma Jian's fault! He called me, said there was fun to see in Jiangcheng, invited me to join the excitement, I had no idea you were here too!"

When he recalled that he'd offended Jiang Feng before, and Aunt Duanmu Ya locked him up for a month without even letting him out the door, and his grandfather gave him a harsh scolding, his regret turned his gut green.

"Had I known Jiangcheng had a deity like Jiang Feng, I'd have borrowed a hundred doses of courage and never come to this fuss!"

He shot a secret glare at Ma Jian beside him, cursing him a thousand times in his mind.

"Ma Jian, you scumbag!"

"You almost made your old man die!"

"Ma Jian's also a victim here; how could he know Zhao Xiong is such a scumbag, dragging him into disgrace too."

Jiang Feng watched Duanmu Hongjie's ridiculous demeanor, both exasperated and amused.

But he really couldn't blame Duanmu Hongjie, so he waved his hand impatiently.

"Fine, get out quickly; don't be an eyesore here."

"Hey! Got it! Thanks, Mr. Jiang!"

Duanmu Hongjie, as if pardoned, nodded hurriedly, just about to scramble up and leave.

Just as he was about to step out, he suddenly seemed to recall something, his eyes sparkling as he stared at Jiang Feng.

"By the way, Jiang Shao! Ma Jian just said he wants to invest 100 billion, and the Duanmu family can't stay silent!"

He pounded his chest, his expression utterly lecherous.

"I'm speaking for my aunt now: 100 billion, the Duanmu family will also invest! Whatever business you want to do, even if it ends up a total loss, it's fine—we Duanmu family have not a single complaint!"

When he said that, not only Jiang Feng was stunned, but everyone present was again too shocked to speak.

One by one they stared numbly at Duanmu Hongjie, their minds a blank.

"Duan Shao?"

"You also want to invest 100 billion?"

Seeing the crowd's dumbfounded looks, Duanmu Hongjie felt nothing but contempt.

"You country bumpkins don't know a damn thing."

Duanmu Hongjie had long heard that Aunt Duanmu Ya recently sold a batch of Youth‑Preserving Pills made by Jiang Feng for a full 100 billion! And that was just something Jiang Feng whipped up casually; if you really partner with him on a project, you'd surely earn even more!

Before, he'd been worried about how to make amends for offending Jiang Feng.

Now the chance finally arrived; how could he miss it? Not to mention 100 billion, even 200 billion, he'd agree without hesitation!

Jiang Feng watched Duanmu Hongjie's ingratiating face, even more exasperated.

"You also want to invest 100 billion?"

"Yeah, yeah!"

Duanmu Hongjie kept nodding, as if fearing Jiang Feng might disagree.

"Jiang Shao, please don't be formal with me! From now on, I hope you'll look after me a lot!"

Everyone present was utterly numb, each staring blankly at Jiang Feng, their hearts filled with endless remorse.

Just a moment ago they'd been mocking Jiang Feng for seeking attention, calling a hundred‑billion project a brag.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Feng secured two 100‑billion investments, and they came from the two top‑tier aristocratic families of the Provincial Capital, who offered them voluntarily!

Compared with Jiang Feng, their years in the Jiangcheng Business Circle have been nothing but chaotic noise!

All that Gourmet City Project, all that Chamber of Commerce President—before two 100‑billion investments, they're meaningless!

Song Zhijun lay on the ground, his heart filled only with despair.

He knew he'd never turn his life around again.

Zhao Xiong collapsed on the ground, looking at Duanmu Hongjie, his eyes full of hopelessness.

The Ma Family had already abandoned him; now even the Duanmu Family sides with Jiang Feng, and the Zhao Family is truly finished this time, with no chance of a comeback.

Even becoming Chamber of Commerce President—so what?

With Jiang Feng as their great Buddha, the Su Family is destined to rise completely.

Su Xueyan slipped her arm around her grandfather's, watching Jiang Feng's silhouette, her eyes full of pride.

Her man is just that outstanding!

Jiang Feng at that moment turned his head toward the Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce crowd, a faint hint of mockery on his face.

"Earlier some said I was seeking attention, that a hundred‑billion project was bragging; now what else do you have to say?"

The crowd shivered under his gaze, lowering their heads, daring not to meet his eyes.

"Fine if you have nothing to say."

Jiang Feng withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at them, turned and said to Su Ruiqing and Su Xueyan.

"Su Lao, Xue Yan, let's go; there's nothing left here."

"Alright!"

Su Ruiqing nodded, took Su Xueyan's hand, and followed Jiang Feng toward the exit.

"Wait a moment!"

At that instant, the ever‑silent Wang Haitao suddenly stood up.

He inhaled deeply, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

"I have a proposal! Though Su Lao has stepped down, the Su Family's contributions to the Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce are evident to all!"

He paused, his face showing flattery and absolute resolve.

"I propose that Miss Xue Yan replace Su Lao as the new President of Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce! I believe that under Miss Miss Su and Mr. Jiang's leadership, our Jiangcheng Chamber of Commerce will surely reach a higher level!"

"What? Let Xue Yan become Chairman?"

Everyone was stunned, then quickly caught on, their eyes full of approval.

Indeed! Xue Yan is Jiang Feng's fiancée; if Xue Yan becomes Chairman, they might ride on Jiang Feng's connection and make a fortune!

666!

Old Wang, you have to be the one whose Brain works fastest!

No wonder among the Four Great Families, your Wang Family always stands unshaken.

Zhao Xiong heard that, and his complexion immediately turned deathly pale as he struggled to get up from the Ground.

"Wang Haitao! Stop spouting nonsense! How can the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce let a woman take the role? You're breaking the Chamber of Commerce's rules!"

His only hope now is to prevent anyone from the Su Family becoming Chairman; otherwise the Zhao Family will truly have no hope left!

But just as he finished speaking, Song Zhijun, who had just been supporting him, suddenly rose from the Ground, rolling and crawling to Wang Haitao's side.

"Right! I support Miss Miss Su for Chairman!"

He now only wants to flatter Jiang Feng and the Su Family; who cares about Zhao Xiong?

As long as it pacifies Jiang Feng, not only will he support Xue Yan for Chairman, he'll even be willing to have him kneel and admit his mistake!

"I also support Miss Miss Su!"

"I also support! With Miss Miss Su as Chairman, we're all convinced!"

"Right! Choose Miss Miss Su! Follow Miss Miss Su, follow Mr. Jiang, and surely good days will come!"

The people present all caught on, each loudly echoing, fearing to fall behind.

Those who had backed Zhao Xiong immediately switched sides, constantly flattering Xue Yan.

In an instant, the Banquet Hall rang with deafening cheers supporting Xue Yan as Chairman.

Zhao Xiong lay sprawled on the Ground, watching the scene; his face instantly turned ashen, and he could barely catch his breath, nearly fainting on the spot.

He never imagined that the Chairman seat he had schemed for would finally end up in Xue Yan's hands?
