Chapter 327 (1/2)
Even though they were going to eat dinner together at the old man's house, just as they were about to get off work, Ji Zhenhua suddenly called again, telling Xiao Sumei and the others to go over to the old man's place first while he himself had to finish his work before going over.
Xiao Sumei seemed to have gotten used to her husband's busy schedule. She merely reminded Ji Zhenhua to be careful and to hurry over as soon as possible before she took Ji Feng and company to the old man's side.
Ji Feng and Ji Shaorei drove a car, while Xiao Sumei and the other two got into another unremarkable Volkswagen.
Ji Feng couldn't help but be astonished. Earlier, when they were downstairs, he didn't see the two of them, so it was likely that they were hidden guards.
Actually, if he thought about it carefully, there was nothing strange about it. With his father's status, it would be strange if there were no guards at home.
Otherwise, if some blind thief suddenly broke into the house and hurt his mother, it would be a huge joke. The entire upper echelon would lose all face. Thus, in terms of safety, Ji Feng had no need to worry.
If there was anything that could threaten his mother, it would be someone from the side branch.
For example, Zhang Yun'e, who had barged in this morning, had Ji Feng on guard. This kind of thing could happen the first time, but it might happen the second time, so he had to destroy this slim figure. Whoever dared to cause trouble, he would break their legs and throw them out.
It was around 5 in the afternoon, the peak time for getting off work. The streets were so congested that not even a drop of water could leak out.
Helpless, Ji Feng followed Ji Shalei's instructions and circled around to the outer ring. Only then did the traffic improve a bit.
”The traffic in Beijing is really …” Even with Ji Feng's skill, when he drove the car to the outer ring, he couldn't help but sweat. The cars on the road were too fierce, the cars just moved forward a little and the cars behind immediately followed.
Ji Shaorei laughed, ”There is nothing we can do. There are too many cars in Yan Jing and they are all concentrated in the inner ring and the city. There are basically no cars in the outer ring. This is mainly because of the uneven distribution of urban areas and the fact that the cities have not yet been fully spread out. ”
Speaking of this, it was tantamount to talking about Ji Shalei's previous line of work. His Jian An Group was a group that specialized in construction, so their understanding of this aspect was naturally much deeper than Ji Feng's.
The two of them chatted for a while. Ji Feng was looking at his mother's car through the rear view mirror. Seeing that they had caught up, he immediately sped up.
”I say, second brother, what level is that Jian An Group of yours at?” Ji Feng curiously asked.
He only knew that the Jian An Group was a state-owned enterprise and that his second brother's level did not seem to be low. However, he was not too clear on the exact level.
”I'm only a virgin as well!” Ji Shaorei waved his hand. ”I don't have much ambition anyway!”
Ji Feng was speechless.
Second Brother was only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, and he was already at the first rank. As for those local leaders, unless they had strong backgrounds, which one of them couldn't be in their forties?
Seemingly seeing Ji Feng's lamentation, Ji Shaolei said, ”San'er, don't think that my level is that great. In reality, I'm only in charge of this corporation. Compared to the true level of those units, I have almost no real power.”
”Just be content with what you have!” Ji Feng laughed involuntarily.
Ji Feng drove the car very fast. As the two chatted, half an hour had already pa.s.sed and the old man's courtyard could already be seen in the distance.
”Di —”
At this moment, Ji Shalei's phone suddenly rang. He took it out and took a look. He couldn't help but say, ”It's my uncle.”
”It should be related to the dinner!” Ji Feng smiled.
Ji Shalei answered the phone thoughtfully. ”Uncle, this is Shao Lei …”
On the phone, the youngest uncle said something in a low voice. Ji Feng was only focused on driving and didn't pay attention to what was being said. However, he noticed that after Ji Shalei hung up the phone, his face appeared somewhat gloomy and his eyebrows were knitted together slightly.
”Is there a problem?” Ji Feng asked.
Ji Shaorei grunted twice before curling his lips, ”There's a problem, and it's not a small problem at all!”
”Tell me about it!” Ji Feng said with a smile.
”Uncle has already arrived at the old man's place. Grandpa and a few other uncles and cousins have also gone. A few people went down there as well.” A sneer appeared on Ji Shaorei's face as he said, ”San-er, Little Uncle called and told us to be careful when going over there. Don't be impulsive.”
”Oh?!” Ji Feng raised his eyebrows, ”Are they here to cause trouble?”
Ji Shaorei threw up his hands. ”Who knows? They didn't come just for a meal anyway, right? Since Uncle has also called, there must be some trouble! ”
Ji Feng thoughtfully nodded his head and smiled, ”It's not a big deal. You wouldn't say that we have to be careful even when we eat a meal, right? ”What a joke, you have to be careful when you go see your grandpa. There's no such thing.”
”That sounds uplifting!” Ji Shalei instantly burst into laughter.
Going to his grandfather's house to eat, and having to pay attention to this and that, was indeed a bit depressing. Ji Feng's nonchalant att.i.tude was indeed very much to Ji Shalei's taste.
”Second Brother, what Little Uncle said is right. If we go, we must pay attention to our limits.” Ji Feng grinned, ”After all, he's a guest. As the host, we have to treat him with care.”
