Fang Zhengping said indifferently, "I wonder if Mei Zi has heard about the Biotech Park project of the Chaoyang Group?"

Wei Meizi nodded and responded, "Of course, I've heard about it. I heard that this project is a large industrial park project jointly developed by the Chaoyang Group and the Yanjing Government! It aims to create a world-class biological ecosystem."

Fang Zhengping continued, "That's right, it's this project. As long as Lin Feng handles this matter beautifully, it will be a thick mark on his resume. That way, his entry into the Central Committee next time will be almost guaranteed."

Wei Meizi said with a smile, "Of course, it's something to be very proud of."

Fang Zhengping spoke seriously, "But we cannot let this matter go smoothly! Once he accomplishes this, he will become my biggest enemy when I try to join the Permanent Committee in a few years. I absolutely cannot let this happen!"

It was only then that Wei Meizi realized Fang Zhengping was no longer content with his position as a minister and had started to make a push for a position on the Central Committee!

A glint of determination flashed in Wei Meizi's eyes. If Fang Zhengping really did become a member of the Permanent Committee, her chances for revenge would be even slimmer!

"What do you need me to do, Brother Fang?" Wei Meizi asked frowningly, "Frankly speaking, at your level, the struggles between you are not something a gangster like me can help with!"

Fang Zhengping smiled faintly, "No, this task is perfectly suited for you!"

As he spoke, Fang Zhengping pulled out a letter from his pocket and placed it in front of Wei Meizi, "After you read this, you should know what to do!"

After Fang Zhengping left, Wei Meizi opened the envelope. After she read the content of the letter, a look of disdain crossed her face, "Fang Zhengping, this is indeed your usual tactic. But do you really think I'll let you have your way this time?"

As she spoke, Wei Meizi retrieved a button-type listening device from under the couch, her eyes narrowing slightly, a flash of murderous intent passing by.

Meanwhile, in another coffee booth in Yanjing, Guo Xiaodong and Feng Xin sat facing each other.

"Xiao Dong, what's so urgent that you had to meet me?" Feng Xin's face betrayed a hint of unease. She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but recently Lin Feng's gazes felt very strange to her, and quite unsettling.

Guo Xiaodong said apologetically, "Xiao Xin, there was some trouble at the construction site a few days ago. It almost caused a big problem for Secretary Lin, and I've been very worried... I..."

Feng Xin replied calmly, "Don't worry, it has nothing to do with you. Lin Feng is not the kind of person who can't tell right from wrong. Rest assured."

Guo Xiaodong continued, "The New Year is approaching, and I was thinking of paying a New Year visit to Secretary Lin. Do you know when he might be available?"

Feng Xin declined, "Forget it, Lin Feng really dislikes people coming over for New Year visits. Moreover, we will be going to the Lin Family's old house over the New Year. From the second to the third day, we will have even less time!"

As she spoke, Feng Xin's eyes gleamed with complex emotions, "Xiao Dong, did you call me out just for this? Or... don't you have something else you want to tell me?"

Guo Xiaodong's gaze shifted away slightly, speaking with a touch of bitterness, "Even if I had something to tell you, what would be the point now? It was my fault I was blinded by stupidity back then. Now that you can help me like this, I'm already immensely grateful. Besides, knowing that you are happy now is reassuring to me."

Feng Xin clenched her fists tightly and took a deep breath. Yes, nearly thirty years have passed. What point is there in rehashing the grudges and kindnesses of the past now?

For a moment, Feng Xin felt disheartened. Lin Feng had been neither warm nor cold towards her over the years, but overall, he had been fairly decent to her. Isn't that what life is all about?

"That's true. What's the use of talking about these things now?" Feng Xin sighed and said, "Xiao... Xiao Dong, if there is nothing important in the future, please don't look for me.... After all, I am now Lin Feng's wife, and it... it isn't right for me to meet you like this!"

With that, Feng Xin opened the door and left. Guo Xiaodong opened his mouth as if to say something, but a hint of relief appeared on his face.

After Feng Xin had left, Guo Xiaodong finished the coffee in his cup and took out his phone to make a call, "Secretary Lin will be at the old house from the second to the third of the New Year. That will be the best time to make a move!"

Soon, the two days flew by, and finally, it was New Year's Eve.

From early morning, Chen Ningxue's barrage of phone calls came one after the other until Ling Feng made repeated promises to visit the Chen Family, only then did Chen Ningxue relent.

After getting ready quickly, Ling Feng, dressed in a suit and carrying a small gift box, walked towards the Chen Family home.

When he was about to reach the Chen Family, Chen Ningxue's phone call came again, "Hey, are you close by?"

Ling Feng couldn't help but laugh and cry, "Do you not have to pay for phone calls? From morning till now, you've already called ten times. Don't worry, I'll be there in five minutes!"

Chen Ningxue's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Please, today's performance is crucial for my future happiness. How can I not be worried? By the way, don't go inside just yet, I'll come out to meet you soon. Remember, don't enter the house first!"

As expected, Chen Ningxue soon appeared in front of Ling Feng.

"Isn't your outfit a bit too... too simple?" Seeing Ling Feng, Chen Ningxue couldn't help but tease, "Without Ting Yu sister here, your sense of style has dropped several levels!"

Ling Feng looked himself over and said, "I think it's pretty good, simple yet proper. I don't think Elder Master Chen would like something too elaborate, right?"

Chen Ningxue rolled her eyes and said, "I suppose you have a point. Anyway, follow me. I've prepared some gifts for you to bring in."

With that, she opened the trunk of her car and took out several boxes of nutritional supplements and gifts.

Ling Feng was exasperated, "I've prepared gifts too, you know. Do you think I still need to take these?"

"No way!" Chen Ningxue refused, "I'm helping you out here, how could I let you spend your own money? It's better if you take the gifts I've prepared."

"You don't trust the gifts I've prepared yourself, do you?" Ling Feng was speechless.

But this was fine, too. Since Chen Ningxue had gone through the trouble of preparing them, he might as well bring them in. Besides, he would also give Elder Master Chen his own gifts in the end.

After giving Ling Feng another once-over, Chen Ningxue finally nodded in satisfaction, "Alright, let's go. Let's go in together!"

After two turns, they arrived at the gate of the Chen Family Courtyard.

Chen Ningxue clung to Ling Feng's arm, "Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Ling Feng is here!"
