Chapter 2997 (1/2)
Chapter 1118 - Invitation!
Zhang Lei was stunned. Previously, his father had sternly rejected him and even berated him. How could he agree so easily now?
This transformation was too fast!
Looking at his son's stupefied expression, Tong Kaide said, ”Kid, you've grown up and you still dare to run away?!”
With a rare blush, Zhang Lei couldn't help but say, ”If you agree, then why would I …”
But having said that, Zhang Lei knew that his action of leaving with Shen Jingyi was no different from running away. In fact, it was even more serious than running away.
Tong Kaide sighed and said, ”Brat, you've grown up!”
He had said this just now, and now he was saying it again, but in a completely different sense. His words contained a trace of gratification and a little rueful feeling.
Zhang Lei was stupefied and didn't know what to say. However, he had never seen his father act like this before.
In the past, his father always had a serious face in his mind, mercilessly beating him up when he was being naughty, and was especially strict with him. This was also the reason why he was so careless.
Of course, his father would gently compliment him with a smile when he achieved results. Of course, in the blink of an eye, he would make some mistakes and then get beaten up.
But today, Zhang Lei couldn't help but be slightly astonished.
”Dad, then you … ”They agreed to it!?” Zhang Lei was still a little uneasy. He couldn't help but want to confirm it once more.
”Now that you know how to take responsibility, that means you've grown up!” Tong Kaide said, ”Since you've grown up, many of your matters can be decided by yourself.”
With that, he glanced at his son and walked out.
However, before they left the study, Tong Kaide said, ”Talk to your mother more in the future. She misses you guys when you're not around!”
Then, he left the study.
But at this moment, Zhang Lei suddenly felt a warm feeling in his heart, and his nose felt a bit sore. Just now, when his father had looked at him, it had made him understand something.
From his father's eyes, Zhang Lei saw gratification and pride, just like how other strict fathers looked at their children. This made him understand that his father's strict treatment of him was all for his own good. But just now, his father seemed like a kind father, completely lacking the sternness he once had!
”Madman, hit me once and see if I'm dreaming!” Zhang Lei suddenly turned around and said to Ji Feng.
”Alright!”
Ji Feng nodded his head and kicked Zhang Lei's b.u.t.t. With a 'peng' sound, that fellow was sent flying and crashed onto the floor of the lounge.
”What's wrong?”
Tong Kade turned around and asked. However, he only saw that his son had already appeared in front of him without him knowing, and was looking at him with a mischievous' heh heh '. ”Stinky brat!”
This was the first time in Zhang Lei's memory that Tong Kaide had scolded him like this, but it was actually a type of love.
”Dad, you're too great! You're a wise father!” Zhang Lei gave a thumbs up, and the expression on his face was no different from Ergou's.
”Brat, don't be like this. If you mess around in the future, I definitely won't forgive you!” Tong Kai De laughed. However, he didn't notice that there was a clear footprint on his son's b.u.t.tocks.
At this moment, Ji Feng walked out of the study room and closed the door behind him. He hesitated for a moment and decided not to mention Zhang Lei's work. However, he was impressed by Tong Kaide's open-mindedness.
There were many enlightened parents, but in a family like this, even an enlightened parent would find it difficult to abandon the interests of the family. In the face of the family's interests, the children's matters could only be considered secondary.
Zhang Lei made an 'OK' gesture with his hand towards Ji Feng before hurriedly heading to the kitchen. Not long later, suppressed exclamations of surprise could be heard from the kitchen. It was Shen Jingyi's voice.
It was obvious that Zhang Lei had told Shen Jingyi about Tong Kade's promise to them. And Shen Jingyi, who had been somewhat restrained ever since they had entered the courtyard, probably didn't have much hope for this outcome. That was why she was so pleasantly surprised at this moment.
”This fellow...”
Ji Feng could not help but shake his head. He did not come here to bear witness for Zhang Lei and Shen Jingyi, but to discuss Zhang Lei's work with Tong Kaide. However, Zhang Lei had to be present to discuss this.
Helpless, Ji Feng had no choice but to walk over to the sofa and sit on the sofa beside Tong Kade. He started to think carefully about his next words.
Don't think that Tong Kade would agree to anything just because he promised Zhang Lei and Shen Jingyi. At the very least, Ji Feng wouldn't have such foolish thoughts.
In fact, it was because of Tong Kade's promise to Zhang Lei that Ji Feng had a bad feeling!
Tong Kade praised Zhang Lei for having a sense of responsibility and responsibility. Although he did not marry a well-matched person, and instead went along with Shen Jing, Zhang Lei was still able to walk the path of an official, and similarly could contribute to the family, and even make the Tong Family even more powerful.
However, if Tong Kaide knew that Zhang Lei wasn't planning on taking the field in the future and just joined the Soaring Group or even the Battle Team, wouldn't he be so open-minded? That would be hard to say!
”Little Feng, is something the matter?!”
Although Ji Feng did not show it on his face, but what kind of person was Tong Kaide? Having immersed himself in the government for so many years, who had he not seen before? How could he not see that Ji Feng had something to say?
