Chapter 403: Chapter 402: Parental Commands and Matchmaker’s Words
As soon as Ouyang Feiting saw the smile on her face, Ouyang Lieqing thought that Li Zhe’s name had attracted Ouyang Feiting, and he was extremely delighted.
He nodded and said, “Of course, I’m sure. The young master of Gangzhe Group, Li Zhe, he is…”
Before Ouyang Lieqing could finish, Ouyang Feiting immediately returned to the sofa, sat opposite Ouyang Lieqing, raised her hand to interrupt him, and said, “Dad, do you really want me to marry the current owner of Gangzhe Group?”
Ouyang Lieqing nodded and agreed.
Although he found it strange that Ouyang Feiting didn’t directly mention Li Zhe’s name but referred to him as the owner of Gangzhe Group, he didn’t think further about it.
Seeing Ouyang Lieqing’s agreement, Ouyang Feiting nearly burst into laughter; she forcefully suppressed her laughter and said immediately, “Alright, let’s go quickly then.”
Seeing Ouyang Feiting being so proactive, Ouyang Lieqing was surprised. He turned to look at Ouyang Feiqiang sitting next to him, who also showed the same expression of doubt.
Ouyang Lieqing looked at Ouyang Feiting again and asked, “Feiting, is everything alright?”
Feeling Ouyang Lieqing’s suspicion, Ouyang Feiting immediately tensed and hastily withdrew her smile, pretending to be melancholic, lowered her head, and said, “Alas, as the old saying goes: Parents instruct, the matchmaker speaks, since Dad has arranged my future, although I am not too willing, I can only follow Dad’s words.”
Without realizing it, Ouyang Feiting seemed to mimic Wang Yan’s tone when she spoke, even echoing phrases like “as the old saying goes” very similarly.
Seeing Ouyang Feiting suddenly change to a reluctant look, Ouyang Lieqing’s suspicion vanished, and he quickly comforted Ouyang Feiting, saying, “Feiting, it’s rare for you to be so obedient. Don’t worry, the match I’ve picked for you is absolutely the best. Li Zhe is around your age and is from a wealthy family…”
Upon hearing Ouyang Lieqing’s words, Ouyang Feiting kept nodding, but whenever Ouyang Lieqing mentioned “Li Zhe,” she immediately repeated “the current owner of Gangzhe Group.”
Although Ouyang Lieqing felt doubtful, thinking that Li Zhe was indeed the owner of Gangzhe Group, he didn’t delve deeper into it.
After talking for a long time, seeing that Ouyang Feiting seemed to agree, Ouyang Lieqing and Ouyang Feiqiang exchanged a glance and then got up, taking Ouyang Feiting with them out of Ouyang Group.
Ouyang Feiting greeted Beiming Xue, who was holding Yan downstairs, and quickly got into Ouyang Lieqing’s car. The three of them left Ouyang Group, heading towards Gangzhe Group.
While in the car, Ouyang Lieqing took out a gold card from his pocket, handed it to Ouyang Feiting, and said, “Feiting, it’s not suitable for me to straightforwardly propose as a woman, so when we get there, we’ll just invite Li Zhe to go overseas with you for a trip. I’ve prepared this gold card for you, with a million inside, covering all your overseas travel expenses with Li Zhe.”
Ouyang Feiting accepted the gold card with a smile and said, “Thank you, Dad, I will spend this money with the current owner of Gangzhe Group.”
Seeing Ouyang Feiting accept the gold card, Ouyang Lieqing was overjoyed. A man and a woman traveling alone would naturally nurture deep feelings, and with Li Gang’s intelligence, he would surely propose on his own initiative.
He thought he would naturally marry his daughter off, and when Ouyang Group and Gangzhe Group unite, the power scope in Wanghai City would immediately change.
Moreover, Ouyang Group’s finances have been tight lately; without external help, it would only get more difficult. Sending his daughter to Gangzhe Group now meant Gangzhe could sponsor him through this difficult period.
Ouyang Lieqing schemed with eagerness but failed to consider that if he truly married Ouyang Feiting to the spendthrift Li Zhe, her happiness for life would be doomed.
Soon, the car carrying the three arrived at the foot of Gangzhe Building. Ouyang Lieqing and his party got off, looking up at Gangzhe Building.
Although Gangzhe Building isn’t as grand as Ouyang Group’s building, it’s considered one of the top grand towers in Wanghai City.
At this moment, the entrance to Gangzhe Building was bustling with people, many office desks and chairs were being moved into the building.
Moreover, at the entrance of the building, the sign for Gangzhe Group had been taken down and thrown to the ground, and the whole doorway was being repainted.
Seeing this, Ouyang Lieqing couldn’t help but nod admiringly, saying, “Amazing, Gangzhe Group just defeated Peak Group today and has already started renovations; indeed, it heralds a new atmosphere. I think Gangzhe Group from today onwards can surely be ranked among the Four Great Clans.”
Ouyang Feiqiang immediately said, “Yes, sister marrying Li Zhe would guarantee her a comfortable life, much better than being with that Wang Yan.”
Ouyang Lieqing and Ouyang Feiqiang kept praising Li Zhe, seemingly afraid Ouyang Feiting might change her mind again.
Suddenly, Ouyang Feiting’s childishness took hold, and she suddenly turned around, trying to walk back to the car.
Seeing this, both Ouyang Lieqing and Ouyang Feiqiang hurriedly grabbed Ouyang Feiting and asked urgently, “Feiting, what’s wrong with you?”
Ouyang Feiting sulked, shook her head, and said, “I regret it, I don’t want to go in.”
Ouyang Lieqing’s face turned pale instantly, and he quickly spoke persuasively, “Feiting, we agreed just now. Dad always taught you to be true to your word. Look at me, I surely act upon what I say.”
Ouyang Feiting kept shaking her head, saying, “I won’t listen, I won’t listen. Don’t you act contrary to your words as well? There were times your words didn’t count.”
Ouyang Lieqing glared angrily and said, “Nonsense, I, Ouyang Lieqing, will certainly act upon my words. If my words don’t count, may I be struck by lightning.”
Hearing Ouyang Lieqing’s words, Ouyang Feiting seemed a bit frightened, nodded hastily, and said reluctantly, “Alright, I’ll follow you in first then.”
Seeing Ouyang Feiting agreed, Ouyang Lieqing finally sighed with relief, turned around, and walked into Gangzhe Building, thinking to himself, “Seems I should act the strict father; now she fears me.”
Not knowing after he turned around, Ouyang Feiting behind him was about to burst out in laughter.
As the three walked into Gangzhe Building, they saw a few workers carry a new sign, stepping over the discarded Gangzhe Group sign, and hang this new sign outside the door.
The sign boldly displayed four flamboyant characters—Peak Group.
Ouyang Lieqing and the other two entered the building, and after mentioning they wanted to see the president, they were immediately led to the elevator by the staff, arriving at the top floor, right before an opulent office door.
Fang and Li were already standing at the door to greet them. When they saw Ouyang Feiting, they were about to greet her but were stopped by Ouyang Feiting’s slight gesture.
Fang and Li were skilled in reading expressions and immediately held back, smiling and saying to Ouyang Lieqing, “President Ouyang, our president is expecting you!”
Delighted, Ouyang Lieqing said, “Haha, great, I was looking forward to meeting President Li Gang.”
As he spoke, the office door slowly opened, and a young man sitting behind a wide desk smiled at Ouyang Lieqing.
